GRAPPLERS WIN
MM DAVIDSON
There will be a real champion
ship game tonight at 8 o'clock
in Raleigh when Carolina and
N. C. State quints mix it up for
the Big Five basketball title.
Frank Thompson gymnasium
will be the scene of action.
A victory for the . White
Phantoms, now in second posi
tion with five wins and only one
loss, will give them the court
crown, and it's the same story
for the proteges of Coach R. R.
"Doc" Sermon, now leading the
loop with an half dozen wins and
one defeat.
It's not quite the same story
as it .would figure on paper. The
Red Terrors are out for blood.
Remember Carolina rather un
mercifully upset the Wolves in
their earlier meeting this win
ter to the tune of 37-35, and now
the 'Pack is out for vengeance
and is determined to uphold
their lead. . . Just ask Captain
Charlie Aycock, leader of the
Raleigh aggregation; he hasn't
forgotten the rough treatment
at the hands of Jim McCachren
who held Charlie well in tow in
the first game of the series.
But the Capitol City outfit is
out for a different outcome. Only
Tuesday night they showed they
had plenty on the ball when they
downed Duke 32-29 in Durham.
There was a real game the
Blue Devils amassed an early
9-0 lead only to have the Wolves
wipe it out, scoring 23 points to
the 'Methodists' four! Such is
the opposition the University
will meet tonight, a club capable
of rising to great heights and
don't forget the advantage of
the home court.
This is not the Requiem Mass
for Carolina's hopes. . .far from
it, but we i recogtnize in N. C.
State the most formidable and
dangerous adversary faced all
season. Captain Aycock, Flythe,
and Berry are an unholy trio
which will encourage grey hairs
in the scalp of any opposing
coach. The guards, Dalrymple,
Womble and Dixon, are not dan
gerous scoring threats, but they
are the equal of any in the
Southern Conference when it
comes to working the ball down
the floor for the pay-off.
Carolina, crippled with the
loss of Ramsay Potts, will he
on the long end of the wise
jnoney from the first. But we
have confidence in the charges
of Coach Walter Skidmore.
Those boys have shown that
they have plenty to offer, and
more to go on when the going
gets hot. Witness both the
Duke games, one an extra pe
riod contest, and the first em
broglio with the Raleigh lads.
Mel Nelson, ailing most of
the season with a bad ankle
should hi his stride tonight
TTfi's iilentv crood on the Frank
-Thmnnson ervm court. . .we'I
never forget his sterling per
f ormance over there last year
when he pulled the game out of
the fire when it looked dark
fnr Carolina: here's honing he
ran and will reneat. His run
ning mate, Andy Bershak, is
rough and tumble forward who
will give plenty of trouble to
the 'Pack forwards, for he has
a keen eye and is always a
dangerous threat.
We are partial to our guards,
Captain Jim Mac and Earl Ruth,
who we believe are without peer
in the conference or Big Five,
but when it comes to the center
proposition we balk. Kaveny is
a better shot than Webster, but

PHANTOMS MEET
STATE CAGE TEAM
FOR TITLE MATCH
Tar Heels Invade Raleigh for Re-
tarn Engagement with Red
Terrors for Championship
Carolina's White Phantoms
will invade Raleigh tonight to
meet N. C. State's Red Terrors
in a game that will definitely de
cide the J936 Big Five basket
ball championship.
Both teams are virtually tied.
State having triumphed over
Duke twice and lost to Carolina
once, while the Tar Heels have
won over State once and split
with Duke.
One who has followed the an
tics of the Duke-State-Carolina
whirlpool this season realize
that another thrilling encounter
is certainly on the boards for
tonight. Carolina and State
opened the play this year, with
Carolina victorious. State thp"
won over Duke. And Duke came
back to win over Carolina.
Tough Battle
In the second round between
the trio, Carolina started things
off by evening , the count with
the Blue Devils, and then Tues
day night, State repeated over
the Dukesters. So all in all a
nip and tuck battle should be in
order.
In the first encounter between
the two units of the Greater
University, Coach Walter Skid
more's boys came through with
a 37-35 win here on the Tin Can
floor. The question of whether
the Phantoms can repeat on
State's floor is one linked with
nlentv of ambiemitv. However.

with State, but as betters have

Dormitory Clash
Immediately following the fra

teams appear to have plenty of
fight with Old West coming

win out when the going got
rough. Mangum has the experi
