PRINT TO . . FIT . . . Betas And Aycock Hold Mural Lead Tar Heels Take On Champs mux ports by SHELLEY ROLFE Padded cells will be all the rage next month when the better m is of the Southern conference tier in a huddle to draw out of a nvecient derby the names of the eight schools that will do or die for $e edification and uplifting of the gasi customers at the conference tocmament. Events around the league fcave been happening in such a dis tressing manner every which way, ttat an enterprising young man with the meeting aspirin concession in jpite of the impending rise in tuition might be able to pay. his way through school. Only Wake Forest, tonight's Wool len fryni guest, seems sure of an in vitation. The Deacons need but two Eore "wins to rate an invitation. If they don't make it, a number of na tives will be ready to call for a con gressional investigation. Davidson needs three more wins, . and unless the Wildcat bubble collapses in one piece, should make it. 'ow comes the problem. Caro lina, Washington and Lee, State, Dnke, VMI, Richmond, Maryland, and Citadel are all so close that an enterprising salesman could cover all named with one pup tent. They promise to be just as bunched come tournament picking time. So who would you invite? Last year the delegates almost had to toss a coin before asking Duke to come in with the quality folks as the eighth team. So the Devils took ad vantage of everybody's hospitality by winning the thing. Carolina might make it. Coach Walter Skidmore Howed yesterday that the boys looked all right in beat ing VMI and upsetting W&L. Skidmore did bring bad tidings, though. Said the Generals were as strong as ever in spite of a sopho more line-up. Everyone thought the Generals would sink lower than the gold in Fort Knox after losing Bob Spessard, Kit Carson, and Bill Bor ries. Bat now it seems Coach Cy Young has mixed general parts of Dick Pinck and other sophomores into a well-rounded organization. Mr. Young may have the team operating by tournament' time and it might even take the championship- A commentary on modern civiliza tion, etc., is the fact that Clemson has to lose one more basketball game to be eliminated from tourney con sideration.

The bouts will be in foil and only mem bers of the second team and reserve squad will compete. Although the epee and sabre squads of the Tar Heel team are considerab ly weaker than the foil division, this aatch has been arranged mainly to Sive the many foil reserve fencers a chance at some outside competition. First string foilsmen will, act as , iges and officials. INFORMAL There will be absolutely no strict formality to the match as it is pure ly a pre-season contest. Ten fencers aad a coach are expected here tomor row evening from Winston-Salem to Ppose the Carolina team. However, 11 is not definite yet as to who would present the Tar Heels. Approximately 27' individual bouts ar expected to be held which is the same length as the majority of the ercollegiate meets usually run off the regular season.

BEERMAN Beaten 5-3 by Citadel in their first meet of the 1939 season, Mike Ron man's varsity boxers took only a light workout yesterday afternoon but to day will return via the hard route to get ready for State college Saturday night. The Terror mittmen are sup posedly strong this year, and last week lost to South Carolina by one bout, after forfeiting both the ban tam and featherweight classes. Ronman brought his squad back from Charleston Sunday afternoon, after a stay of two days as guests of the hospitable Cadets, who, how ever, put etiquette aside once they were in the ring. REHASH Sam McFalls, wiry 120-pounder who ousted Billy Winstead in a spar ring bout to earn the right to fight against Citadel, dropped a decision to Peeler after three rounds of nose and jaw punching. Andy Gennett evened things up in the second match, out pointing letterman Dick Bagnall, Ca det 127-pounder. Gennett, despite a troublesome boil on his neck, which was slammed hard several times, waded into his opponent in fine style and came back in the final round to gain the decision. Cy Jones took a terrific cuff on his left ear from 135-pound Padgett, dropped his guard a little too much, and lost out when the referee added r up the points. However, Jones finish ed in much better shape than did Padgett; as a matter of fact, none of the Carolina boxers appeared to be ex hausted after their six minutes of ring activity was over. Citadel men began throwing punches at the opening bell, somewhat wildly but nevertheless ac curate. Such tactics won the meet for them. Ronman's fighters were more conservative with their blows, a little too much so, it developed. Ed Dickerson gets the vote for put ting on the best boxing exhibition of the match. He fought cleverly with good footwork and a nice left, to get a decision over Carrison in the 145- pound struggle. Fred Hardy filled in at the 155-pound berth, .which -was left vacant by Calude Sapp and then Bob Farriss. Sapp dropped from the squad several days before the meet, and Farris injured his shoulder but, it turned out, had to fight anyway and in a heavier class. Hardy took only two workouts with the boxers, and his opponent, Ulrich, was consid erably more experienced. But the erst while track man took the punishment on his feet and managed to slide in several jarring punches at the same time. Farris was brought back into the scheme of things after it .was found (Continued on last page) Look Out Below r Athletic Association Issues University Sports History By LEONARD LOBRED In the last 17 years, while Coach, let, the following were picked at Bob Fetzer has been at this univer-Y random: (1) A record number of sity as athletic director, the record made by Carolina's athletic teams is .721, representing winning averages in all intercollegiate sports, while at present 82 per cent of the male students participate in some form of athletics. In order to give a brief picture of Carolina's athletic program today, the athletic office just has published a 19-page booklet called "Athletics, A Story of Growth and Progress at the University of North Carolina." Through our freshman handbooks or by word of mouth, all of us learned that Carolina's athletic program pro vides for all students thorough medi cal examinations, physical education and intercollegiate athletics in in door and outdoor sports, recreational facilities and intramural competition; and for future coaches and teachers professional training in the teaching of health and physical education and the coaching of various sports.

CHAPEL FROSH CAGERS MEET DEACLETS AT 7 TONIGHT Seeking vindication for its "humili ating" defeat at the hands of Belmont Abbey last Saturday, the University of North Carolina freshman basket ball squad trys to knock the props out from under Wake Foresfs yearling team in the preliminary game at Wool len gym tonight. The frosh are sched uled to commence firing at 7:00. NO ORGANIZATION Unable o stop the tricky Belmont Abbeyers last week-end because of a definite lack of organisation and rag ged offensive work, the Carolina frosh were shot through a drill of offensive and defensive scrimmages that lasted nearly two hours yesterday afternoon. Coach Bo Shepard stated that he was displeased with the action of the team in the game. He switched the line-up many different ways in practice in order to find "a more aggressive start ing line-up." Shepard would not state definitely whose names the starting roster would include in the tilt with Wake Forest but that they would come f ronv the following men: Rose, Feimister and Smith, forwards; Neely, Moore and Phillips, centers; and Loock, Dempsey, Moore, Gersten and Robbins, guards. Sixty Candidates Report For Wolf Like Uncle Sammy's blue coated mail laddies, snow wasn't enough to drive the Carolina football team in doors yesterday afternoon when Coach Ray Wolf called the first winter prac tice session. Instead, Wolf took 60 candidates to intramural field six and wasted' little time in picking three teams and running the boys through an offensive and defensive drill. Wolf used three rising sophomores all linesmen on the first team. All freshmen interested in man agership of varsity football can report to Kenan stadium field house at 2:30 this afternoon. Stallings and Martukrantz were at end, since Paul Severin, Jim Mallory, and Chuck Kline, returning lettered flankmen, did not come out for prac tice. Dick White was put at Steve Ma ronic's old tackle spot. VARSITY MEN All the rest of the line positions (Continued on last page) 3,963 participants representing 1, 793 individuals took part in intra mural activities in 1937-38.

Pictures of Carolina's two most famous athletic plants, Kenan stad ium and Woollen gym, a map of the campus' entire athletic layout and facts and figures are most informa tive of the scope of this University's athletics. For instance, in the 10 var sity and freshman sports, there were 159 intercollegiate contests in one year, and m 15 intramural sports 835 contests were held. Of the 700 out for varsity and freshman sports 329 varsity and 311 freshmen got into collegiate contests. A record of Carolina teams against all opponents from 1921-38 shows that tennis with a .912 percentage representing 218 wins and 21 defeats, and cross-country with an .813 per centage representing 52 wins and 12 defeats, are tops, while track with 96 wins and 24 losses good for an .800 average has been the most success ful major sport.

Aycock was again led by the stellar play of Bat chellor, who scored 19 points. He was followed by his mate Sherman with 14. Perry paced the losers with 6. PHI KAPPA SIGMA Paced by Berdan, Phi Kappa Sigma by downing ATO again showed that! it was one of the most powerful bas ketball forces on the campus. Berdan and Tracey led the winners, a team that appeared to be one of the sharp est shooting organizations in intra murals. Berdan was tops in scoring with 15, while Diffendal with 8 led ATO. In the closest game of the after noon St. Anthony gained a three point victory over ZBT.

That would be more appropri ate, for even though the fire isn't as large a blaze as it could be just yet, in a short while, say about a weelc or so, the flame promises to soar to kingdom come. This week-end brought many startling results to the fore, but the Davidson lads still clung atop the ratings with two wins and io de feats, the only undefeated Big Five team so far (they beat Wofford Saturday!) The Deacons, by shel lacking State, have probably start ed their top-ward bound trek and stand little chance of being inter rupted, even tonight when they hit . the White Phantoms. However, State may have a better outfit than Skidmore's gang, but the game tonight will be a lot closer than 46-26. Still, Wake Forest was out Saturday night to avenge last year's Terror defeats. And avenge them they did!

DEACONS FAVORITES With every member of last year's team which split two regular season games with the Tar Heels available, the Deacons will rate as favorites. Carolina redeemed itself over the week-end by climaxing a swing through Virginia with wins over Washington and Lee and VMI. The Tar Heels may go into the game without George Glamack, high scoring sophomore center whose 17 points paced the -team in its 46-39 upset win over W&L Saturday night.

The Bulldogs, who also won the State Class A title last year, presented a well-balanced passing and shooting quint and turned in one-sided victories over Fayetteville 70 to 13 and Rocky Mount 69 to 25. In other Eastern Class A games Wilson nipped Wilmington 29 to 27 and lost to Fayetteville 27 to 23.
