Rose Bowl Blue Devils Name1 All -Opponents Football Team
Pardoni Me,
BUT...
by
BILL BbERMAN
Downing the last mouthful of post
Thanfegiving hash (third day style),
we hasten back to the grind only to
find more trouble in the mailbag. This
time the vitriolic aspersions come
from the students and ex-studes of
cousin State college. But they act un
like any cousins we ever had the
pleasure of knowing.
Some days back this depart
ment, in an idle moment and none
too joyous frame of mind, deplored
the State football team and espe
cially Mr. Ed H. (Ty) Coon. Noth
ing serious was meant, but one
statement was a little off -color, we
mast admit. That was the sentence
which described the quality of foot
ball played by State as being
"sorry."
We retract that accusation, but
nothing else. Steve Maronic is still
a better tackle than Coon, and all
the drivel which certain so-called "de
fenders of the Wolfpack" utter can
not make it different.
So, Messrs. McPhail, Howe, Kroch
mal, Halsted, and "Scoop," your
preachments of sportsmanship and
gentlemanly conduct had best be
practiced before advised. And Mr.
Bowe, your closing comment of "I
dare you to print this letter" is an
excellent example of your type. We
care not to waste space with it.
Anyway, were we of the opinion
that Coon was such a sorry foot
ball player, would he have been
placed on the All-Conference team
selected by this writer? As for the
praise bestowed on your Connecti
cut flash by coaches and sports
writers, you will find that Maronic
has received as much if not more.
But the most conclusive proof of
tie ability of the two men can be
found by glancing at the different
"All" teams now being picked.
Maronic, like the well-known cigar
ette, is practically a two-to-one
choice. j
So Carolina has typewriter All
Americans, eh? You gents can start
another civil war by making state
ments like that. Bershak and Barclay
were the real thing if ever there was.
No publicity made those lads out
standing; merit and merit alone put
them on the top.
Enough is enough. State can
play pretty good football. A tough
schedule put them on the bottom.
And Maronic is better than Coon.
Incidentally, Steve Acai has done
his share for the Wolfpack. He has
helped to make Coon look good.
Boxing Managers
All men interested in trying out
for junior managerships on the box
ing team are asked to meet at 4
o'clock today in the boxing room of
Woollen gym. Junior managers of
last year are also requested to be
present.
The point of a compass does not
point to the north pole but to the
north magnetic pole.

Boxers Lose Services Of
Football Trio For Season
By WILLIAM L. BEERMAN
Boxing coach Mike Ronman went
down for a TKO yesterday, figura
tively speaking, when he discovered
that Gates Kimball, Dan Desich, and
Mike Bobbitt, men he was depending
on to fill in his sketchy mitt squad,
would be unable to participate in the
sport this winter. All three are foot
ball players, and according to the ulti
matum handed down by Ray Wolf,
will not be allowed to box because of
a conflict with winter football prac
tice which starts January 16.
Ronman, stunned and not quite able
to understand why he is being de
prived of the services of the trio,
watched the finishing construction
touches made to the new boxing room
in Woollen gym and gave his atten
tion to the dozen or so candidates who
were working out late yesterday. A
regulation fight ring occupies one end
of the quarters and several new
punching bags, both light and heavy;
have been added to the equipment.
THREE VETERANS
Without the aid of three outstand
ing performers of last year, Ronman
has concentrated his efforts during
the past month to build a 1939 team
with three veterans and several prom
ising sophomores as a basis.
"Our best weights will be from the
115- to the 145-pound class," he said
yesterday. "But as for the 155- and
175-pound weights, well, prospects
aren't so good right now."
Billy Winstead, 115-pound slugger,
appears in line for a regular job in
that weight, but sophomores Larry
Bass and Buddy DuBose are pushing
him hard. Also in the running is Sam
McFalls,' a junior whom Ronman ex
pects to develop into a first class
boxer. Ed" Dickerson, struggling to
sweat himself into the 135-pound
class, will likely be forced to fight
at 145 and in the same division is ex
perienced Claude Sapp.
HEAVYWEIGHT HUBBARD
Ed Hubbard, not yet in school but
scheduled to enter for the winter quar
ter, will be the heavyweight lad on
the as yet incomplete squad. Should
something interfere with Hubbard's
plans to return, well, Ronman is op
timistic and crosses bridges one at
a time.
Andy Gennett, who fought both 125
and 135 as a freshman last season, is
plugging away at present with an
eye on the first mentioned weight. Cy
Jones, junior and freckle-faced, steps
around in the same class, and a close
race with a possible photo-finish is in
view. The 135-pounders rounding into
condition are Gene Castles, Al
Hughes, and Red Holt. And at 145,
other than Sapp and Dickerson, are
Cohen and Inskeep.
Two untried 155-pounders, Dan
Beattie and Red Faircloth, constitute
Ronman's only hopes for that class
and, as Bobbitt will not be allowed
to box, the 175 division remains a
deep, dark problem fthat even the
coach cannot yet solve.

Austin Captains
Women Fencers
Miss Adele Austin, a senior from
New York city, was elected cap
tain of the women's fencing team
last night at a meeting of the coed
fencers. Miss Austin has been ac
tive for the past two years in coed
fencing and this year is expected
to lead the women's team on the
strips.
The first women's team ever to
be formed at the University in
fencing began last year in its em
bryonic stages and this past week
realized two years of intense train
ing under the guidance of varsity
Captain-Coach Allan Bloom by of
ficially becoming a budgeted and
recognized squad.
At a joint meeting of the varsity
and coed fencing teams it was de
cided last night that practice will
continue for the remainder of the
quarter in the Tin Can from 5 to
6 o'clock.
Ladder tournaments in both var
sity and coed fencing will begin
this week and continue throughout
until the season begins.
Duke's Madry Is Busy Mann
As Devils Receive Bowl Bid
By SHELLEY ROLFE
(Special to the Daily Tar Heel)
DURHAM, Nov. 29. "We haven't
heard a thing more about the Rose
Bowl, except that we're going," said
a busy Ted Mann today in his ivy-
clad, tower office in the Duke publicity
department.
The press agent of the Seven Iron
Dukes and all the backfield chillun
was so rushed today that he did not
have time to discuss plans with either
Coach Wallace Wade or university
officials. Every sports editor in the
country had been telegraphing all day
for news about the Dukes and chances
for accomodations on the Rose Bowl
special when it pulls out of Durham
for the west long about Christmas.
UN-EVERYTHING
And Ted is busier than a bird dog
in an aviary as he has been all sea
sontelling all concerned about the
Blue Devils, who finished the season,
as every child in the streets knows by
now, un-everything (said everything
including in this case, unbeaten, un
tied, and unscored on.) All the papers
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast
want word of Duke, and Mann is

White Phantoms Begin Drill;
Chocolate Bowl Classic Set
Three Lettermen Back
With only three returning letter
men Ben Dilworth, Dick Worley and
Bill MacCachren around which to
build his White Phantom quintet,
Coach Walter Skidmore has been run
ning his basketball hopefuls through
scrimmages and offensive drills at
Woollen gym. ,
Work has been centered around Dil
worth and Worley, carry-overs from
last year's team, and MacCachren,
who won his monogram as a sopho
more two years ago. These three have
been worked in most of the practice
scrimmages which are expected to
show what the Phantoms have this
year. Offensive strength has been em
phasized in the drills, and all of the
candidates are alternating in these.
TEAM HARD HIT
The team was hard hit by the grad
uation of Captain Earl Ruth, Pete
Mullis, Foy Grubb and Andy Ber
shak, who with Dilworth formed the
first team last year, but the return
ing squadmen and incoming sopho
mores are working hard to fill their
places. Watts Carr, Foy Robertson,
Frank Cuneo, Al Mathes, Dave Bow
man and Hank Pessar are the veter
ans, and Lester Branson, George Gla
mack, Bill Watson and Woody Hoi
land the second year men.
