Today we issue a special re quest for you to len your ears. The following may have a harsh effect on the auditory apparatus.

Send your guesses to the contest editor in care of A. Guardian.

SOL LIPMAN 129 Franklin St. M High Quality Made-to-Measure Latest Styles Expert Tailoring Early Redskins Played Lacrosse For War Game Iriquois Indians Used Canadian National Sport as Battle Prac tice Before 15th Century By Herbert Langsam In practice for war the In dians played Lacrosse. French settlers in Canada found the red-skins Dlavinsr "Baggatway" with a curve net ted stick which looked like a bishop's crozier. They called the game La-crosse. As the "oldest organized sport in America," this form of war practice was played by the Six Nations of the Iriquois in upper New York long before 1492 and Mr. Columbus. Today the improved game is the national summer sport of Canada and has a crack reputa tion among colleges and prep schools in the United States. A modified form of the original game also flourishes in the British Isles and in Australia. Rules The game is played on a level field of such dimensions as the players themselves set. The ob ject of the game is to carry or throw the ball with the crosse or "stick" between the oppon ents goal posts. These posts at each end of the field usually 125 feet long are six feet high and six feet apart. Each goal is sur rounded on the front and the sides by lines called the crease, drawn six feet outside the posts. The players are 12 for each side, and when in position for play extend nearly across the field from goal to goal at inter vals of ten yards from each other. The game requires two um pires and a referee, and the I strategy is similar to that of hockey and soccer. Grapplers Prepare For Davidson Meet In Tin Can Friday Matmen to Make First State Appearance in Bouts with Wildcats , The Tar Heel wrestling squad settled down with a hard work out yesterday after a light prac tice Monday for their first state meet with Davidson here Friday night. The Wildcats will be seek ing revenge from the close win the Tar Heels gained over them last year with a 20-18 score. The Wildcats scored an easy victory over Duke in the early season and are making a strong bid for the state championship this year. They won the cham pionship two years ,ago when they pulled a surprise and de feated the Tar Heels 16-14 in the Tin Can. Parker Parker, who has a great rec ord in the 135-lb. class, is the outstanding grappler for the Wildcats. Melvin Ward, who was out of competition for the first two matches, should give Parker plenty of trouble if he continues to wrestle as he did against Navy. Ward won sec ond place in his weight in the Southern conference tourna ment two years ago but he was held off the team last year due to an injury. FENCERS It is very important that all epee and sabre men come to practice this after noon at 4:30 in Memorial hall, according to assistant Coach Elmendorf.

The Blue and White freshmen started fast and were never slowed during the course of the contest. Mathes started the scor ing with a field goal minute after the game had started. The yearlings scored at regu- ar intervals, until they were re placed by the second stringers. who continued to romp over the Wildkittens. The half ended with Carolina on the long end of 32-11 score.

Joslin led the way for the Carolina freshmen with eleven points, and A. Carr followed his example with seven. W. Carr Dilworth, and Pessar rang up 6 points apiece, while Harrison captured the scoring honors for Davidson, accounting for seven points.

I.-State Against the Virginia Tech team, the State boxers made one-point better showing than did Carolina, scoring a 5V& to 2Y2 triumph. However, V. P. I. was minus the services of its star performer. Captain Guy Sheppard. State took four ful wins, three draws and one de feat. ' Carolina should be at ful strength this week with the pos sible exception of the 115-lb class. Whether Gene Woody wil be able to box or not is as yet unknown. Tom Bass and Lam my Alderman should be back to top form even though the latter was. not at practice yesterday afternoon. &&f& Iffl - 'Wi ""'z Motor Co Ford Products Since 1914 Trounce Five 34-20 Meroney Leads Scoring As Cagers Avenge Early Defeat Take Early Lead By Ed Kaklin The White Phantoms met the Davidson Wildcats with a ven geance last night, and trounced them 34-20, to avenge the early season defeat handed them by the Wildcats.
