Yearlings for Opener with
Wake Forest Club
With the openincr cramp tn ho
TVi ora was anything but a feel- played against Wake Forest
ing of optimism prevalent in the
Tin Can immediately following
the White Phantom's initial de
fense of their Southern Confer
ence title Friday night. The fi
nal gun had probably saved a
humiliating loss in the season's
opener and the Carolina quintet
gladly took that one-point vic
tory over its South Carolina op
ponent. But we can see no logical rea
son to be downhearted over the
outlook. Clemson, a veteran out
fit and victor over Auburn twice
this season, could not be called
a "crip" opener on any schedule.
Perhaps some of the spectators
had expected to see a well-oiled,
smoothly-functioning machine
trample Clemson by a decisive
margin. But no team can lose
two such crack players as Ait-
ken and Glace, replace them with
sophomores and expect to dis
play perfect teamwork. The
Phantoms were ragged Friday
night and plainly showed that
they were not accustomed to
working together.
For five minutes of that
game the boys were "hot." But
in that five minutes they showed
us, at least, that with a few
more games under their belts,
they are go'ing to take off and go
places. All they need is a little
polish and it won't take that
bunch long to learn. Every man
on that team has "court class."
Earl Ruth is a "natural" as a
partner for Captain Jim Mc
Cachren at guard. And the way
J. Mack ran the team against
Clemson was an excellent piece
of floor generalship. Mel Nelson
will account for plenty of points
at his forward position and Ber
shak, Mullis, Potts and Rainey
will not let the other forward
spot fall short in the scoring col
umn. "Latch" Webster is coming
along at center and Kaveny will
help him uphold the pivot posi
tion.
0
The opinion has been express
ed that Skidmore may not do as
well with the squad as "Bo"
Shepard has done. But we know
that Coach Skidmore knows his
basketball and will have only a
winning team. We have seen the
results he obtained at Central
High in Charlotte for too many
years to believe otherwise.
Carolina faces a hard 23-game
schedule devoid of "breathers,'
this season. It would be expect
ing entirely too much to believe
that the team will tuck away 23
- scalps with N. Y. U. to play and
the strongest Duke team in years
to tangle with twice. And don't
overlook N. C. State. They are
about due for a winner and
handed last year's crack aggre
gation one of its two setbacks.
But we do believe that we will
take the majority of those games
and will put up a strong protest
if anyone tries to lift our dia
dem at the Southern Conference

night, Coaches Bo Shepard and
George James are sending the
candidates for the 1936 yearling
basketball team through inten
sive drills. The . Tar Babies put
in two weeks of practice before
the holidays but have returned
in poor shape and the coaches
are trying to get the men in conr
dition to play.
As yet no definite lineup is op
erating and according to the
coaches many will get a chance
to play. Bill McCachren is prob
ably the outstanding player of
the lot but there are also several
others who have been showing
up well in practices: mainly, Cer
nugel, Wallace Winborne, Joe
Yates, Tom Vanderford, Ralph
Reynolds, Erskine Clements,
Cheatham, Hilton, Phil Gross
man and Smith.
