0 Jl 8 White Phantoms Outclass W. And L. In 3527 Game; Generals9 Rally Gut Short Capt. Aitken Leads Win Over Fighting Five; Great Team-Play Glace Forced Out of Game and Webster Plays Great. 8- (Special to the Daily Tar Heel) Memorial Auditorium, Ral eigh, March .2. The University of North Carolina's great bas ketball team tonight left no doubt as to who were the real Southern Conference champions, as they completely outplayed the fighting Washington and Lee General five. in the tourney finals to win, 35-27. The White Phantoms thus an nexed their first basketball championship of the new South ern Conference, and their first since 1926. ' Playing heads-up ball from start to finish, the Carolinians gave, the scrappy Generals no . chance to break into an opening. Despite their spirited fighting, the Virginians were no match for the present champions as the Tar Heels, drove relentlessly through them. Rally Short Both teams played evenly through the first half, but the Shepard-coached five put on steam with thesound of the bell for the second half and piled up their comfortable lead. The Generals began a desperate ral ly late in the game, but to no avail. . Captain Snooks Aitken led the beautiful team play of the winners, with his nice passing, floor play, and. accurate shoot ing. He was the star of the of fense, with his 11 points, eight coming from action. His 11 markers were good for individ ual scoring honors. Jim McCachren turned in one of his best per formances here tonight as he forced the Gen eral sharpshoot- ? ers to err time after time on their shots. His defense was practically im he performed to his All-Southern ability. His passing was su perb. He was the man who stopped the W. & L. last minute rally when they had pulled up to within five points of the Phantoms. Play Last Games Bucky Harris and Jason Glace, playing their last games for North Caro lina, were equal ly brilliant in their all) around playing. Harris was particularly deadly on his shooting, as he got loose for three goals and then annexed a lone free toss to take runner-up scoring honors. Glace was push ed' to the limit in holding down the big center, Smith, All Southern last year. In doing so, he was forc ed to foul to ex cess and had to leave Vtie' game with four and one-half minutes left to play. Neither team could scratch the scoring column for the first (Continued on last page) , ;? Mv. .... VI pregnable the best as of I X: 1 i U. N.

With a close race to be run between the schools for team honors, with individual stars battling for the tape, and with several records scheduled to be broken, the indoor carnival is all set to be a classic affair. The 1935 meet seems certain to be one of the most thrilling to date. Close Team Race North Carolina is defending champs, but will be hard pushed for top honors. Duke, with an ace selection of brilliant sophs, will be the dark horse of the meet. Maryland and Virginia will be well in the running. Any of these holds an equal chance of coming through. Each event from the dash through the middle distances to the field events will possess a field of brilliant competitors. No single race seems to have a real "sure" winner. In the dash, for example, Widmyer of Mary land is the natural ranked run ner, but will be pushed to the extreme by Hubbard, Tarrall, Pritchard, Tayloe, Epps and Ryan. New Records? The records . which seem on the road to a tumble are the ones in the two-mile, half-mile, mile and quarter-mile. The excep tionally fast and evenly balanced field in the longer distance may cut clown the existing mark, set , (Continued on last page) TENNIS AND TRACK MEETS SCHEDULED State High School Athletes Wffl Gather Here April 11 and 12 For Sport Events. An announcement issues, yes terday by E. R. Rankin, secre tary of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association, re vealed the fact that the annual tennis and track competitions will be held in Chapel Hill on April 11 and 12. These tournaments, which are annual highlights in the in terscholastic ranks,, have been held consistently at Chapel Hill. The tennis tourney will be the twentieth annual, and the track event will be celebrating its twenty-third year. Tar Heel Winners There are quite a few present Carolinians who have placed high in these events. Last year, Earl Ruth, who ran wild on the basketball court with the frosh this year, was the winner of the tennis championship. He repre sented Charlotte High School. Two years ago, Jim Hutchins, football luminary, was runner up in this same event. Both these boys, however, turned ''o different fields after entering Carolina. In the track meet, two fresh men hold titles from last year's competition. Al Umstead, Dur ham, won the hurdle title, and George Willard, Kernersville, took the crown in the weights. These two championships mark the fifth 1935 interschol- astic tourney at Chapel Hill, the boxing, wrestling, and basket ball having been held already this quarter. V M .1.

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS' With-Mangum's title win over D. K. E. last Wednesday, a most successful intramural basketball season was brought to a close. Besides these two teams, Swain Hall, S. A. E., and Phi Kappa Sigma all came through the reg ular league schedules with clean slates. - On January 10, 42 teams set out in the annual campaign to ward the campus title, and dur ing the season only four dropped out an excellent example of the ever growing interest in the in tramural program on the cam pus. The Leaders Mangum No. 1 and D. K. E. each won ten straight victories, while the other undefeated teams of the regular schedule, of course, made eight. Lambda Chi Alpha and Kappa Alpha both went on streaks of six straight, while in the dorm divi sion Ruffin, Aycock, and Ever ett took five, four, and four, re spectively. Z. B. T. and Phi Kappa Sigma were the only ones to lose eight, S. P. E. came next with seven, and Chi Psi, Delta Psi, Kappa Sigma, and A. T. O. were all bunched with six. The season marked the en trance of a new member into the realm of intramural play Alpha Epsilon. This fraternity exhib ited keen competition and fine sportsmanship, and promises to become in the future a danger ous contender in all activities. ( Continued on last page ) Coach Bo Shepard Coach Bo Shepard has led one of the greatest parades of North Carolina basketeering this win ter. His White Phantoms have played some real ball this year, having taken everything which has come within their reach. Go ing through the regular season with . 20 wins out of 22 starts, they entered the Southern Con ference tourney seeded number one. Toying with South Carolina, downing North Three Other Tar IJeel Matmen Fail to Reach Finals Bonner Eliminated in Semi-Finai on Time Advantage. Lexington, -Va., March 2. Virginia Military Institute's fighting Kaydets tonight wres ted from the long defending champs, Washington and Lee, the 1935 Southern Conference mat crown. For three years the grappling Generals had had their own way on the mat in Dixie, but tonight could do no better than take a second place to the Kaydets. The combination of Sherrard, Witt, Currence, and Burgess was just too powerful. Ward -Loses Melvin Ward, the only Uni versity of North Carolina final ist, was defeated via the fall route by Witt of the V. M. I, club, after a hard battle. The Generals entered the fi nal round of fighting the favor ites, because of their placing five men in the scoring column. The Kaydets followed with four. The other North Carolinians fell before the final round-un. Umstead in the bantam lost a time advantage to Duke's Stev enson of 4:18 minutes. Captain Efland was behind on a 1:41 minute time decision to Seitz, of W. and L. Allan Bonner in the 145-lb ' class was victim of another time advantage in the semi-finals to Shipley of W. and L. The time advantage was 5:07 minutes. The Generals had held the title for three years and were undefeated in dual meets for se veral years. The replacing of them by the Kaydets was one of the big upsets of the season. HEARNMEN TAKE SHORTPRACTICE Crouch Works Out with Other Pitchers and Catchers Yes terday in Tin Can. .V Carolina State, and at last out classing Washington and Lee's Miracle Team, the 1935 Phan toms are conference champions. Coach Bo has won his first S. I. C. title. To go with that, he has a pair of state titles and a win ning percentage of well over .800. Hats off to Bo Shepard and his White Phantoms. Scoop Error in Paper! That game which is played with the racquets and the shuttle-cock is not "Badmington," as was stated? in recent issues of Daily Tar Heel had it;' but cording to Mr. Webster and other quite reliable sources. "Badminton." Or just like the Daily Tar Heel had it, buj: without the "g." Aw, gee! Coach Buhn Hearn sent his; diamond protegees through a light workout yesterday after noon in the Tin Can, with the pitchers and catchers taking: turns at flinging and receiving; the horsehide. Freddie Crouch, star of last year's ace team, was on hancf and tossed over a few, along with Leo Manley and several others. Crouch will more than likely be ready for the opening; of the season next quarter. Catchers Work Jim Tatum, Ed Shapiro, Mae Cook, and Paul Pendergraft handled the biggest part of the catching duties in the short workout. Numerous freshman candidates also participated in the informal drill. Coach Hearn will find many problems in filling several va cant positions left by graduating stars. Last year the Tar Heel nine captured both state and Southern Conference champion ships, losing only one of 21 con tests. But graduation robbed' the 1935 team of such standbys--as Captain George Brandt, at. first; Virgil Weathers, at sec- qnd; Dutch Leonard, at third Tim McKeithan and Nate An-" drews, pitchers, and Norm Mc- Caskill, catcher. It will be-quite a job to replace such stars-
