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. V

State College 1
Raleigh, N. C.
Dear Dean Harrelson:
Let it hereby be known that
we, the undersigned, wish to ap
ply for the head coach's job at

past four years we have been
closely affiliated with football at
the University of North Caro
Coach wlt. skuxvorg
Ronman's honest opinion that
to get into better shape before
misrht have nodded in another
enter business. Captain Shep
Catholic University and the tie
lina. Having served under three
coaches and having inside dope
of te football fundamentals em
ployed by each, we feel that out
of this concoction we can develop
a system of football unrivaled in
the South. For the past year we
served as head student managers
of the University of North Caro
lina football team. Salary is, to
us, of little consideration, as we
have been working four years
' for nothing. We travel 20 miles
' to get our ball players, from
Duke, Wake Forest and Caro
lina. Sincerely yours,
P. C. LINDLEY,
Equipment Mgr.
W. A. HART,
Financial Mgr.
' Messrs. Lindley and Hart,
basing their "might" suc

number of candidates who
have applied ahead of them,
declared last night that if
they did get the offer they
; might have to decline be
cause of "better proposi
tions elsewhere."

Extra Periods
S.A.E. monopilized the courts
yesterday afternoon in the intra

both the No. 1 and 2 teams came
through to victories in two of
the only three games played. The
other contest resulted in a 36-32

time periods had been played.
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. The regular session
ended with the teams locked in a
28-all tie. Both teams scored
once in the first extra period to
tie it up again at 30-all. With
Marks getting hot for Steele in
the final extra period, Aycock
folded up under the barrage and
dropped a close contest.

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.

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.
Again Brown rushed the Tar

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.
Washington and Lee, runners
up to the title last year, are the

iVaught, Lange Meet
Candidates For New
1937 Gridiron Players
Equipment Will Be Assigned
Friday Afternoon; Prac
tice Starts Monday
In the temporary absence, of
Head Coach Ray Wolf, coaches
Lange and Vaught met with new
candidates for next year's foot
ball team in Graham Memorial
yesterday afternoon and dis
cussed plans for spring practice.
Varsity and freshman players
of last quarter were excluded
from the meeting and discussion
was limited mainly to data and
abilities of the new men.
Lange
Coach Lange stressed the
point that all men will be given
an equal opportunity to earn
places and that the squad will
not be cut. Spring practice will
be devoted mainly to coaching of
inexperienced players and condi
tioning of seasoned men since
fall practice will be turned over
mainly to those players who,
through their attitude and per
formance durinsr snrinsr prac
tice, will be candidates for start
ing posts in the opening game.
Men who were unable to re
port because of conflicting
classes are requested to leave
their names in the coaches' of
fice in Graham Memorial any
time after 10 :30 in the morning
and between 2 and 4 in the aft
ernoon. Equipment will be assigned
Friday afternoon from 3 o'clock
on and practice will start Mon
day at 2:30 on Fetzer field.

ter, is superstitious and always
