Tar Babies-Wolflets At Raleigh Tonight 8flp Car Phantoms-Wolfpack Clash Tonight CHAPEL HILL, N. C TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1937 Sports !fith Leave To Print , , , . . . . By Ray Howe Though nestling down around fifth place in the Conference lad der, Coach Walter Skidmore's inconsistent White Phantdms have had the most interesting season so far. No definite lease has been taken on that lower berth and Duke and State are tottering a bit precariously way up thar in those first and second places. It's not hard to maintain that everything is relative and point out that Mis sissippi State beat Duke, St. Joseph's beat Mississippi State and the Phantoms beat St. Joseph's. Hank Wright stole the show from his more publicized team mates at the Garden in the last ten minutes of play. An appreciative audience watched and applauded his inspired shooting and drib bling. The nonchalance with which he flipped in trick shots amazed the 10,000 gathered and the Tar Heels were given audible recognition leaving the floor. Infinitely better was the Tar Heels' play against St. Joseph's. Tied up and with ten seconds to play it fell to Bill McCachren to jump against a St. Joseph man in the foul lane before the Penn sylvanians' basket. Bill Mac got the jump, tapped it over his head to the waiting Earl Ruth, cut around his man, dashed tinder the basket, received a pass from Ruth and slipped in the winning basket as the final whistle lew. And so, dear reader, the Rover boys won again. Correction:, Joe Fisher's withdrawal from the collegiate boxing ring was prompted by his lack of time for study, something which he came to college to do in the first place. . . . Giant-Killer Bitsy Grant racked up another win against Don Budge in the finals of the Dixie tourney at Tampa Sunday. ... Head Football Coach Ray Wolf was called home to Texas this week because of the serious illness of Mrs. Wolf's mother. He will be on hand to start spring practice Monday. ... Ed Coffin knows a good deal more' about the far from gentle game of fence than appears on the surface. . . . Manager Red McKee did a splendid job of keeping us in contact with the basketball team during its northern , trip. . . . Foots "Pooshin' " Knight refereed the Duquesne-State game Thursday night, officiated at the Carolina-N. Y. U. game Friday night and bobbed up again in his green shirt at the Carolina-St. Joe game in Philadelphia Saturday night. ... We miss the smiling faces and subdued modesty of Ernie Byfield and Mace Gwyer on the campus this quarter. . . . Don't take too seriously the serio-comic retorts of night sports editors bothered over the telephone by interested followers when the Phantoms play away. . . . Former sports editor Ira Sarasohn watched the Tar Heels in action Satur day night. . . . It was boxing Coach Michael Wally Dunham's fight against V; P. I.'s Captain Sheppard was the best bout of the, evening. Wally carried the first round and bnenpard the third with the middle minutes pretty much ot a toss-up. Had Wally been able meeting: competition the iudsres direction. V. P. I. boxers were fighting for the last time under the tutor ship of Bill Portersfield and were determined to turn in a win as a parting tribute. He resigned to pard will probably direct the boxers until another coach is ap pointed. The 4-4 meet between Duke and between V. M. I. and the University of Virginia, Southern Con ference champions, make it an open race. The Terrible Terps and gruesome Ivan Nedomatsky will be the next hurdle for the Tar Heels. They make their first appearance in the Tin Can the last day of this month.

With Charley Poe leading the way, S.A.E. chalked up their second consecutive win as they bottled up Alpha Chi Sigma to uiKe tne game oy a z-t margin. Poe with 17 markers was easily the outstanding man on the courts as he tossed in point after point. S.A.E. split the scoring evenly with 14 points in each period while Alpha Chi Sigma was held to two field goals in the initial chapter with one more being added in the final period. Frye tallied all of his team's six points. . A.T.O. Outscored Keeping right in step with the No. 1 team, the S.A.E. No. 2 quintet outscored A.T.O. by a close count of 23-21 to make it an S.A.E. day. The entire game was closely fought with both teams taking the lead and again. S.A.E.'s last minute drive tucked the game safely away with Mc- Cullock garnering 8 points to show the way. . . , Aycock and Steele put on a1 real thriller to close the day's play as they battled through two extra periods before Steele was returned the victor by a 36-32 margin.

Quinlan Prepares MatmenForW&L Pleased with Opening Meet; Will Meet Last Year's Conference Champions Saturday Coach P. H. Quinlan started preparing ms wrestling squaa for the W. & L. meet which is to be held up at Lexington this weekend. The W. & L. Generals won the Southern conference last year and should be able to offer the Tar Heels plenty of competition when they crash Saturday. Coach Quinlan stated that he was well pleased with the way that team came out in the meet Saturday against V. P. I. al though Davis of V. P. I. pulled a surprise victory over Crystal. He showed the different wrestlers their mistakes and stressed the fact that they needed to develop more speed and get in better condition for the next meet. Win in Debut Harriss and Woodson won against their opponents as they made their varsity debut while Crystal, a sophomore, Davidson, a junior wrestling in his first wrestling match, and. Herring, a senior, lost as they made their debut. Although these three men lost their first fights, Coach Quinlan was well pleased with their performance.

Boxers Launch Workouts For Maryland Bout Varsity Opens Season With Win Over VPI; Murnick Out With a to 3V& victory over Virginia Poly Tech safely nes- tied under their belts. Carolina's I varsity boxers returned to the Tin Can yesterday afternoon and launched nrenarations for Saturday's engagement with Maryland at College Park. Everyone excepting Joe Mur nick was on hand for the work out. Murnick, 125-Ib. knockout victor at Blacksburg, is confined to the infirmary with a sore throat and fever. It is not known whether he will be able to box this week. Previous Competitors Captain Max Novich, Jule Medwin, and Murnick were the only members of the team who had competed in varsity inter collegiate competition before the V. P. I. match. Bert Ressler, Wally Dunham, and Tom Van derford have all taken mural crowns, Tom Bass had boxed freshmen, and Gene Woody had never entered competition.; But Woody scored the sensa tion of the meet with his spec tacular knockout victory over Brown. The Carolina 115-pound- er did exactly as Coach Ronman had instructed when Brown rushed at him, Woody let go a straight left jab. Brown went down for an eight-count.

TV 1 1 !- I r f?'r rt To Meet Phantom Jinx Met By Loss Of Bershak In Tonight's Game Duke Lreads Conference Standings; Carolina Holds Fifth Wright May Be Sub The jinx which thus far this season has seemed to stalk Caro lina's White Phantoms once again reared its ugly head with removal of Bershak to a local hospital suffering from blood poisoning in the leg. Coach Wal ter Skidmore announced that the star Carolina forward would be definitely out of the North Caro lina State game in Raleigh to night. Until this latest mishap there had been a great possibility that the State team, ranking second only to Duke in conference cir cles, might be upset by the fast improving Tar Heel quintet. How the team will fare with Hank Wright, promising substi tute, attempting to fill the shoes of the Carolina star is a matter of conjecture, but the spirit and co-operation thus far shown by tne team gives excellent cause for optimism in tonight's con test. . Captain Mac Berry Connie Mac Berry, varsity let- terman from last year, is expect ed to lead the attack of the State team tonight, an attack which already this season has been suf- ficient to afford the margin of victory in contests with Wake Forest, and Davidson. The only defeat up to this time by the State team came at the hands of Duquesne, a non-conference opponent. Much will depend upon the outcome of this game in deter mining the standing of the three major teams in the conference. State and Duke meet Saturday to continue the three-way rival ry. Duke at Top The Duke Blue Devils are set ting the pace in the Southern Conference basketball race so far with seven victories in as many starts and closely fol lowed by the Red Terrors from State who have won five straight with no losses.
