Carolina In Close Match
The White Phantoms tangle
with the Navy Middies in a color
ful intersectional basketball tilt
here tonight but as far as many
of the Carolina supporters are
concerned, the climax of the sea
son was reached Thursday night,
when Duke squeezed out a two
point win in an extra period.
True, the Phantoms meet the
Devils again February 21 but the
game will be in the Duke gym
and many of us won't get to see
it. We had the Devils in our own
back yard and we wanted to take
the candy away from them.

It rather stunned us the way
that blue-clad team abruptly
racked up two points with no
waste of motion every time Car
olina seriously threatened. We
sat there breathless time after
time waiting for the Phantoms
to jump ahead but always it was
Duke. Everytime we wanted that
ball to sink it seemed that some
one had put the lid on our bas
ket or a wild pass would lose
the ball.
We kept hoping the Phantoms
would break loose on one of their
famous "hot streaks" for just
five minutes but it was not to
be.
We had predicted that the
Phantoms would take the game
over here and that the Blue De
vils would retaliate on their
home grounds but those infer
nal Devils had other ideas.
uaroima win be ngntmg an
I uphill battle when they attempt
to even the score over there at
Duke later this month. We stil
believe that the Phantoms wil
even the score with the Duke-
sters and maybe go one up in the
conference tournament. We
would even be willing to drop
the game there if we could tum
ble those babies at Raleigh next
month.
(V
i The Phantoms had a terrible
time trying to hold their offense
) together and to keep the Dur
ham boys tied up at the same
time. They didn't play their best
game and we don't believe Duke
did either but it was a battle all
the way. It doesn't sting so much
to lose, though, when the game
has kept you on the edge of your
seat most of the time.

It was a beautiful thin er the
way Andy Bershak literally
I walked around the mighty "Ace"
1 Parker to dump the ball in sev-
I eral times in the first half. We
heard that Andy had no idea
whom he was making a monkey
out of and when informed at the
half his mouth opened in amaze
i: ment as he exclaimed, "Gosh,
was that' 'Ace' Parker?" It did
n't look very much like the noted

Beautiful Fight by Fisher Enliv
ens Bouts; Unpopular Deci- '
sion Given Shores
MAX NOVICH IN INFIRMARY
WINS BOUT
Aided greatly by Carolina for
feits in the bantamweight, jun
ior middleweight, and light hea
vyweight classes, Maryland's
Old Liner ringmen punched out
a 5V2-2V2 victory over a disor
ganized varsity boxing team last
night in the Tin Can.
A vehemently unpopular de
cision by Referee Miller, which
gave Webb an undeserved win
over Shores, and the beautiful
fight Joe Fisher exhibited in
trouncing Maryland's Nedomat-
sky, who was fresh from a vie
tory over Fisher's Virginia ne
mesis, Womer, alternately mov
ed an emotional audience from
wrath to cheers and back again
to lusty booing of Nedomatsky's
unsportsmanlike actions.
Eutsler
After Carolina's forfeiture in
the bantamweight division had
been announced, Captain Ernie
Eutsler climbed into the ring to
fight a much taller foe, Birming
ham, and despite the considera
ble difference in size and the Old
Liner's undeniably good left jab,
he reached Birmingham often
in quick sallies. Although still
the aggressor at the third round
Eutsler absorbed several hard
punches and the fight was de
clared a draw, which gained the
approval of the spectators.
Shores, unable to keep his
gloves free of the hampering
arms of Webb, nevertheless scor
ed a jarring right in the first
round, and fought a heady bat
tle, continually seeking to get
his dancing opponent off balance.
Webb fought a purely def en
sive battle throughout, and
scarcely touched Shores with ef
fective blows.
Welterweight
In the welterweight feature
Fisher entered the ring with
both eyes protected; one had
been gashed by Womer of Vir
ginia. two weeks previously. Joe
pushed the fight to Nedomatsky
in the opening round, and con
tinued to force the Marylander
in the second.
Fisher was complete master of
the situation in the last round,
making Nedomatsky miss re
peatedly.
Forfeits
v Carolina forfeited in the 155
lb. class, and Taylor entered the
ring for the Tar Babies in the
middleweight post against Pear
son. Both fighters reached the
canvas during the course of the
bout, but neither was hurt bad
ly by his opponent's blows. The
bout was declared a draw.

W. & L. teams to come down to

were too bad yesterday for them
to make the trip.
Coach Quinlan plans to start

At Full Strength
Captain Bonner, Frank Um
stead, and J3am Lytle plan to be
back in the line-up by next week
These additions should strength
en the team and give the Tar
Heels a good chance to bring
back a win over the Kaydets.
Coach Quinlan will have his
freshman team in top condition
for the freshman meet between
the two schools so that the Car
olina yearlings may keep, their
record clean. If they can go
undefeated for the balance of
the season, they can lay claim
to the Southern Conference
championship.
Carolina has had good fresh
man teams with a few good men
before but this is the first year
that Coach Quinlan has been
able to find more good fresh
man wrestlers than he needed.
He should have a good sopho
more varsity team next year if
these freshmen stick to the
game.

The Tar Babies dropped the
first fight, took the next six, and
drew in the heavyweight class to

Three of the Tar Heels' wins
were by the knockout route ;
Elon's lone win was bantam

an easy decision over Johnson in
the lightweight battle, and then
Hardsty started the knockout pa

of Lee in one minute and 57

Stronach boxed nicely in the

There will be a dance spon

tonight from 9:00 until 12:00 in
Bynum gym. Jack Yancey and
his Cavaliers will furnish music
for the affair which will be $1.00
and all freshmen will be admitted.
One of the few common foes
is the University of Virginia
quintet. Carolina met the Cava
liers twice, winning by a wide
margin here and then a few
weeks later being handed a re
verse. A few nights ago the
Cavaliers triumphed by a one
point margin over the Middies
in an overtime session.
Robertshaw Plays
Included in the Annapolis

all-America ranking football
center and considered a' most
capable performer on the bas

Carolina players, it will be their
first. appearance against Navy:
The Carolina line-up will
probably be the same as that
started against Duke, with Nel
son and Bershak up forward,
Kaveny at center, and McCach
ren and Ruth at guards. Cer
tain to see action are Mullis,
Potts, and Webster. Against
the Blue Devils, sophomore
"Pete" displayed plenty of good
work and it was his worth as a
"money player" in the literal
interpretation of the term
that kept Carolina in the ball
game as the time watch ticked
off the final seconds of the last
half. ..
