CHAPEL HILL, N. C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1938 Tar Heels Favorites To Down Cavaliers In Ring Ronman To Seek First Win As Boxers Move On Virginia Although the Virginia boxing team has defeated VPI 6-2, and stalemated the Eastern Inter collegiate championship Syra cuse boxing team, North Caro lina's twice-defeated ringmen are favored to win Saturday night at Charlottesville. Coach Mike Ronman is ru mored to have a bit of a sur prise up his short sleeve and the spirit of the team is, as they say, unquenchable. The experi ence gained m the iirst two! meets against top-notch teams is apt to be the panacea for all ; Ronman's troubles. Inexperienced The Cavaliers are weak in the 135, 155 and unlimited classes and the Tar Heels have strong entries in all those weights. Coach Johnny LaRowe will prob ably use Stuart Barksdale in the 135-lb. class. Barksdale, a junior did not compete in his freshman year and won but two out of three starts last year. The 155-pounder, Truman Southall, is a sophomore and lacks experience. The Tar Heel's Chester Little is a hard- hitter in that weight and picked up several pointers from Penn State's Sam Donato last week. The unlimited bout will bring Bill Garnett of Virginia against Carolina Ed Hubbard. The lat ter made a fine showing against Penn State Saturday and is due for a win. Mack To Carry On Philadelphia, Jan. 26 Connie Mack went back to his Shibe Park office today, after telling the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association at their annual din ner last night he would not re tire as manager xf the Ath letics this summer. Mack, who was 75 years old this fall, has been in baseball for more than half a century. He is president of the Athletics and has been manager at Shibe Park ever since the A's entered the Ameri can league in 1901. - Mack was honor guest at the dinner. Mickey Cochrane.

Gaining its second wind at just the right time, Beta Theta Pi eked out a .32-27 victory over Zeta Psi yesterday afternoon in mural play in the first overtime contest of the season. The score at the close of the regulation period was deadlocked at 25-all. Crowell Little stepped into the ball game at the start of the extra period, and went on to rack up the winning points for the Betas. " Blalock Of Zeta Psi Blalock proved to be the main stay of the Zeta Psi outfit with his brilliant defensive game and valuable assistance on the of fense. Called out on personals tpward the close of the tilt, his absence was greatly felt in the deciding moments of play of the overtime period. The box score follows: Beta Theta Pi (32) Gans 4 Sager 7 Hall 4 Richards 10 Van Hecke 0 Watson 2 Little 5 Zeta Psi (27) Wilson 3 Clark 10 Clements- Palmer 8 Blalock 4 Sitterson 0 King 0 Pope 0 Snakes Beat Sigma Chi Paced by Dave Joslin's crack work on the offense, Sigma Nu trampled the Sigma Chi quint in mural play yesterday, 23-17. Although Joslin was not quite up to his high-scoring par, he still proved efficient enough to lead his five in its decisive win. The point scoring is: Sigma Nu (23) Sigma Chi (17) Kobac 8 Scales 4 D.

The I' ' , S', " I'' V V - 4 JV t, 'Cv.v.-.-:;' Eh, WW' At Bong Last, Grabb Foy Has Played Peak Defensive Ball All Season Pete Mullis deservedly got most of the headlines after Tuesday night's. State game. That grand little basketballer made a spectacular comeback after a season of dismal scoring goose eggs to lead the White Phantoms out of the wilderness of three straight defeats by scoring 16 points. But another player deserves headlines. AH season long he has played a quiet ball game, scor ing his points when they were needed, and playing a cracker jack defensive game. Against State he held the vaunted Bill Mann down to two points. That player is Foy Grubb, who is first hitting his court stride in his senior year. Second String Grubb was a substitute his first two years on the White Phantoms. At the start of last season he got a brief whirl in the spotlight, when he subbed for Captain Earl Ruth in the first few games of the, season, when the captain was in the in firmary with the flu. As soon as points were distributed as fol lows: DKE (30) Alexander 2 Royall 16 Hobbs 2 Gillan 2 Taylor 6 Craige 2 Hand 0 Theta Chi (11) Seure 0 ' Smith 0 Johnson 0 Brown 6 Parker 1 Griffin 0 Hackett 4 Mangum's No. 2 Wins There's little to be said about the Mangum No. 2-BVP No. 2 mural basketball gam e yester day afternoon. It was slow and really inactive, and not represen tative of mural play.

Little And Foe Crowell Little, who at one time or another has been football captain and player and basket ball performer and who has .taken up boxing this winter, is shown at the left. On the right is Truman Southall who will op pose Crowell in the ring Satur day night in a 155-lb. bout when the Tar Heels move on Virginia to face the Cavaliers. Little beat Pete Lempesis, Southern con ference 155-lb. champ of Citadel two weeks ago, and lost a close match to Penn State's former intercollegiate champ, Sam Don ato last week. Southall is a promising sophomore. Foy Grubb Ruth came back to the lineup, Grubb went back to the bench in favor of the McCachrens and Potts. .But this season neither Mc Cachren nor Potts is playing ball, and so Grubb has fallen heir to a ! first-strins: guard berth. So far Foy has done a great job at the guard spot. In the first Wake Forest game he held Jim Waller to five points. In the second Deacon tilt, Grubb was way off for the only time this season, and Waller grabbed himself 19 points. Bill Mann came to the Tin Can Tuesday night with a high scoring reputation and 24 points Texan To Aid Former Mentor (Continued from first page) been a close friend of Coach Wolf. Wolf was assistant grid leader at TCU when first Baugh banged into the national pigskin spotlight. Wolf tendered Baugh the invitation at the end of the pro season, when the Redskins were barnstorming through the West and Southwest. 1 Still On The Ground Baugh accepted his old coach's call when the Redskins called off a proposed trip to Hawaii. The arrival of "Slingin' Sam" will probably mean the advent of the much-heralded aerial cir cus play of the Southwest into the South. When Wolf first ar rived at Carolina two falls ago everyone predicted that the Tar Heels would soon become air minded. But for the most part, the Blue and White have used straight football. Baugh will have to develop passers for next year's team since Crowell Little and Tom Burnette, last year's slingers, will graduate in June. George ! 1 ' - s I " v ' 1 l ? If V W Gets Due against Wake Forest to back up the reputation. Was Grubb awed? No, Foy proceeded to hound the Stater like a hunting dog chasing a fox, and soon Mr. Mann gave up all hopes of being a high-scorer in that ball game. For a while it looked like Bill wouldn't even score, but finally after a scoreless first half, Mann sank a field goal mid-way in the final period. That was his only scoring contribution of the eve ning1. Grubb was an all-stater on the courts while at high school in Spencer. In the spring he plays a mean third base for Bunn Hearn's Tar Heel nine, being a dependable batter and fielder. After the hectic State strug gle, Walter Skidmore let his bas ketball boys take it easy yester day afternoon. About the only cagers seen at the Tin Can were Captain Earl Ruth and Man ager Van Hecke and they were both watching boxing practice. The White Phantoms will re turn to the wars tomorrow night at the Tin Can against a strono- Marvland team. The o Terps boast among other things a 40-35 victory over the Duke Blue Devils. Watson and George Stirnweiss will be back to pass next fall. Stirnweiss put on a passing dis play this fall against Virginia. Up from the freshman team are Sweet Jim Lalanne. Jim Mal- lory, and Bob Osborne. Winter work has been going on since Monday. More than 50 men are working out for the team. Most of the candidates are freshmen and sophomores, al though a few of last fall's let termen are out for practice. Mungo Speaks Orlando, Fla., Jan. 26 Van Lingle Mungo, who has decided he does not want to spend another summer with the Brook lyn Dodgers, said today that he would not mind being traded to the St. Louis Cardinals. So far this winter, Mungo has been re ported traded to every club in the National League, but he re mains in Brooklyn. Branch Rickey of the Car dinals announced last week he would top any bid for the tem permental Dodger hurler.

Mullis hurt himself late in the game when he tripped over several State players while chas ing the ball. He was taken out soon after the collision, and Coach Skidmore sent him to the infirmary for observation. Yes terday morning, Dr. Hedgepeth decided Pete had nothing more than a few back bruises, and he was allowed to go home.
