'Cats Dangerous v The Wildcats on the other hand have yet to get liheir first victory in the Big Five despite being a fairly strong club. The Davidson clubs have always proved , dangerous to the Tar Heels and Coach Shepard espe cially fears the 'Cats this year. - In the first meeting . between the, two teams fthe Phantoms came out ahead, 36-26, but only after the Jast Davidson quint had put up a stubborn fight. Peabody, guard, led the play of the Wildcats with three field goals for six points,' while Latcher Webster, starting his first varsity game for Carolina, took the place of the sick Glace ' and was the big gun for his club ; the center dropped in 13 points. l However, now the Wildcats will flash a new lineup which has ! taken on polish and finish and is reported much stronger than the five that faced Carolina some time ago. Coach Bo Shepard sent his charges through a long drill yes terday in the Tin Can. The Imam part of the practice was taken up in a scrimmage with khe Tar Baby first team. After the battle with David son the Phantoms will have to start preparing for the clash with Duke Saturday night. Duke Ekes Out Win Durham, Feb. 12. Duke's Blue Devils managed to eke out a close 35-34 victory to night over a surprisingly strong and fast Davidson Wildcat five.

FRESHMAN PUGS READY FOR IMPS If Shores and Farrar Get - To gether, Ace Bout Expected; O'Herron. Is in Shape. , With the Duke meet just around the corner the yearling mittmen got down to serious work yesterday in preparation for their hardest fights of the year. The program tomorrow night will provide many inter esting and thrill-packed bouts. The foremost of these will undoubtedly be, if they actually meet, the Shores-Farrar get-together. Farrar is reputed to be one of the first three leading amateurs m his weight in the entire country, while the Tiger enjoys quite a good reputation around these parts. Shores went through a hard workout yester day,, taking on Fisher and O Flaherty in three rounds of fast fighting. x. O'Horron in Shape Ed O'Herron also is primed to give his best. O'Herron's only present fault is that he is not ag gressive enough but he offsets this by his accurate counter punching. Yesterday he came up against Fisher for two rounds and put up a creditable showing. In the first round O'Herron traded his expert opponent punch for punch. But the fast first stanza took a lot out of him and Fisher was able to get to him iwith several telling blows in the second. Ed Oliver looked like a dif ferent fighter against Novich in his practice bout. He has de veloped a fairly good jab, which j annoyed Novich no little. The last fight of the day pit ted Charley Benton against Bart Lee in a slugfest which was stopped only because the ring had to be moved for the high school matches. Benton was in fine form and staggered Lee several times with wicked upper cuts. MURAL ENTRIES Entries for both intramural, bowling and table tennis must be made this week in the Gra ham Memorial office or in the game room. Hawthorne Mile with Such Aces as Cunning ton Tiger in races won from each other, 3-all. ' Last year in these New York Athletic Club games, Bonthron won, but barely did. The big three were shoulder to shoulder just ten yards, from the tape. At the finish the Tiger lunged forward to break the tape, but Cunningham was so close behind that no difference in their times could be determined. Venzke was only one short step behind. These three meet this Satur day. Either man is favored to come through, while Williamson and Nv are ranked the dark horses. Tom Hawthorne will also make the journey to New York for the invitational 60-yard higfy hurdles. Sixteen men have been invited, including Percy Beard Last year John Collier of Boston A. A. was the winner with the time of 7.4 seconds. During the qualifying rounds he tied the world record and a Grain in the finals he. equalled the mark. CAROLINA FROSH PLAY DAVIDSON TONIGfflAT 7:15 Tar Babies Anxious to Lengthen Four-Game Winning Streak Against Wildkittens. TEAMS IN RETURN CLASH Gunning for its twelfth vic tory of the season,, the frosh quintet engages the yearling teamfrom Davidson tonight in the preliminary game to the varsity clash. Game time is scheduled for 7 :15. Three weeks ago, the Tar Ba bies crushed the Baby David sonians under a 43-22 count in the final game of their three- game trip into the vicinity of Charlotte. The team went through a light practice yesterday afternoon and are primed for their oppo nents. Potts and Mullis will again team at forwards. They both were impressive against Wake Forest. Meroney will be at center and the guard positions will fall to Earl Ruth and either Foy Grubb or .Bill- Franks. Grubb has been ill recently and Franks, who started against Wake Forest, may play again. The entire team worked as an offensive unit . against Wake Forest and presented an oiled machine on tne attacK. a con tinuance of this style is hoped for in their remairiing games which include the all important battles wth Duke and State. The Baby Imp game has been shifted to this Friday night and will 4be played as a preliminary to the varsity wrestling matches with Davidson. Tar Heel Mittmen Preparations KANNER IS IN FINE SHAPE; MAY FIGHT Entire Boxing Team in Excel lent Condition for Tough Meet In Durham Tomorrow. GIDDINS VS. MATULAWICZ In four rounds of heavy box ng, the rangy Murray Kanner gave evidence of a real zest to tumble the strong Duke heavy tomorrow night. Kanner was forced to report late for the squad because of winter foot ball. However, he is now in superb condition. Yesterday afternoon Kanner boxed his first two rounds with Dr. Meno Spann. Kanner's long left is working to perfection and with this left jab, he should have no trouble in keeping the Duke man away from him. In the second set of rounds, Jack Lowe stepped in as a sparring mate. Lowe tried hard to get inside but Kanner was too big for him. ' Diehl Favored Marion Diehl, clever little bantamweight, worked out with the frosh. featherweight, Bass. He looked good as he flashed his utfual form and. cunning. Diehl is meeting a good , man in the Duke bantam, Alderman, and will have to be on the alert throughout the scrap. Johnnie Edwards is also go ing to meet a good man from the Blue Devil camp, taking on Kniepp in the lightweight class. . Ernie Eutsler is slated to meet Freddie Lloyd in the 125-pound class. Eutsler has been improv ing in every start and bigthings are expected of him tomorrow night. Joe Fisher looked good as he stepped through his paces with the yearling O'Herron in yester day's matinee workout. Fisher is pitted against McCall in the welterweight clajss and in his present shape should have no difficulty in taking the verdict :IHIfiii ; : Sell!
