Wow! -
I done it!
They laughed when I picked David
son to finish at the bottom of the Big
Five. They snickered when T said
tfake Forest would come in first and
Puke second. And they guffawed and
almost rolled in the gutter when it
vas meekly hinted that Carolina
would finish third and State fourth.
They did all this and more they
held me up to ridicule and wrote let
ters suggesting I should see the near
est psychiatrist concerning the health
of my brain.
They didn't know I had been tak
ing courses in hindu mysticism 1 and
was prepared to do the rope, climbing
act in the Graham memorial amateur
show upon request . .
Damn, if I didn't pick the Big Five
standings right. -
Damn, if I didn't pick the Big Five
standings right.
Which team finished first? Ans:
Wake Forest.
Which team finished second? Ans:
I
Technically nobody, for Duke was tied
for first with Wake Forest. But after
all, why quibble over minor details
which after all meatballs have no im
portance in the cosmic scheme of
things.
Damn, if I didn't pick the Big
Five standings right.
And where did Carolina finish?
Ans: Third.
What about State? Ans:' Fourth.
And, of course, Davidson? Ans:
Fifth.
So I have been vindicated by a kind
fate. "Davidson last," they all jeered
"Hell, this is Davidson's year!"
That scared me. Maybe it was
Davidson's year. After all, the Wild
cats did start the season by whirl
winding around the state, beating
Carolina and Duke during the rush.
It looked bad for a while, but the
Davidsons kindly went in reverse
gear and finished the season accord
ing to specifications." T -And
who picked the Big Five
standings correct?
And who picked the Big Five
standings correct?
Having selected the Big Five stand
ings, let us consider the conference
tournament which begins tomorrow at
Raleigh. Well after all our reputa
tion is made, Why risk it? But I will
hazard some of the following predic
tions:
1 Philadelphia will not win the
pennant in either the American or
National league.
2 Switzerland will not win the
Davis cup.
3 1 will not take the Kentucky
derby.
And who picked the Big Five
standing correctly?
Modesty forbids ...
vNow that Jim Tatum is coming;
here as director of freshman athletics, j
it can be wondered how much part
alumni pressure had in bringing him
down here. No question about it,
freshman athletics here were coming
to a sorry state.
What to do about it, wondered the
various alumni groups around the
country. So they decided to agitate for
a gentleman to handle freshman af
fairs exclusively.
Now that Tatum is here, let's hope
they'll recognize the need for open
subsidization at South building.
That could be a lot easier all the
ay round, and make it no longer
necessary for husky athletes to go
inder the Woollen gym bleachers to
Set paid.
Football tomorrow ... State plays

FROSH SWIMMERS
CLAIM STATE AND
BIG FIVE TITLES
Special to the Daily Tar Heel)
DURHAM, Feb. 27 Claiming state
and Big Five championships, Caro
lina's freshman swimmers closed their
season here today by whipping Duke,
43-23, for the second straight time de
spite liberal use of second-stringers
by Coach Dick Jamerson.
The Tar Babies' victory this after
noon gave them a record of five wins
and one defeat. They beat Goldsboro
high, 51-23, N. C. State, 46-20, Dur
ham high, 53-13, and Duke, 49-17 and
43-23. In their lone defeat, the Caro
lina frosh gave the still undefeated
Massanutten Military academy team
its closest meet of the year before
bowing, 42-24. The Carolina freshmen
scored 266 points to their opponents'
138.
SENDS IN RESERVES
After his men had cinched today's
meet, Coach Jamerson entered his sec
ond team men in order to make the
meet look close, but still the Blue
Devil frosh could not match the Tar
Babies.
Billy Stone, newly elected captain
of the Carolina freshmen, swam unof
ficially in the 220-yard free style and
was timed in 2:31.5, almost eight sec
onds better than Dwight of Duke's
winning time. Then he was clocked in
5:33.5 for 440 yards.
Lee Records and Steve Langfield
followed Dwight in the 220 and were
very close. This and the 100-yard
breaststroke were the Devils' only
firsts.
WIN OPENER
Lou Scheinman, Ben Lee and
George Coxhead opened with a spec
tacular win in the 150-yard medley
relay, helped by Coxhead's fine anchor
lap which saw him overcome a two
yard lead to win.
Scheinman was outstanding in the
backstroke, winning in 1:09.5. An
other outstanding performance was
Carolina's 220-yard free style relay
second team of Baxter Bobbitt, Jasper
and Funke, which defeated the Dukes.
The first team of Whit Lees, Marvin
Ostrowsky, Jim Barclay and George
Coxhead swam unofficially to finish
first 10 seconds ahead of the second
team.

Gymnasts Receive Bid; Gridders Will Have Strong Opponents
Wolf Sings Praises
Of Pigskin "Toters"
Football Coach Ray Wolf sits cheer
fully in his office nowadays, thumbs
his nose at any rain that comes along
and sings the praises of the squad
which sloshed around during the seven
weeks of winter practice. However,
when those delightful tasks have been
taken care of , he is wont to say
naughty things about how tough
Carolinas' gridiron opposition is going
to be next year.
The situation in a nutshell, accord
ing to Wolf, is like this: Them what
we beat are going to be tougher; them
what we lost to are going to be tough
er; them what we never played before
are going to be tougher.
HOLD YOUR HORSES
Wake Forest will be strengthened
by a crew of improved sophomores.
State has developed a mighty speedy
backfield.' Remember a guy named
Brunner? Well he's still with Tulane.
And those Green Wave sophs are go

Lock Up Gloves
By WILLIAM L. BEERMAN
North Carolina boxers, one of them
a champ, three of them runners-up,
and one having sworn to take an ad
ding machine with him next year,
locked up their gloves yesterday and re
luctantly went back to studying as a
means of diversion.
The champ, Billy Winstead 120-
pound title winner who beat three fa
vorites in getting his championship
placque, a medal, and the gloves he
used. The runners-up, Andy Gennett,
Ed Dickerson, and Eldon' Sanders
who battled from the bottom of the
list upward to get in the finals, and
then lost out. The adding machine pro
tagonist heavyweight Eddie. Hub

"nine" instead of "ten."
HEARTS BROKEN
Ronman's boxers were pre-tourney
favorites to finish about fifth in a field
of seven. At the end of the prelimin

Beware, Yankees, For
UNC Varsity Fencers To Take
Trip North During Holidays
Yankeeland will witness some of the
finest fencing the South has to produce
when the Tar Heel varsity fencing team
takes its northern trip during spring
vacation. Culminating in the annual
Eastern Intercollegiate fencing tour
nament at Dartmouth college in Han
over, N. H., the trip will bring the
Carolina swordsmen into competition
in five successive dual meets, opposing
some of the finest fencing aggrega
tions in the East.
Ten fencers and a coach will make
the trip, which wil cover some 2,000
miles and last a full week. The party
is scheduled to leave Chapel Hill Sun
day, March 12, at noon, arriving at the
University of Maryland the same night
for the annual return bout with the
strong Terrapins. In the opener this
season, Carolina dropped its only de
cision in three conference starts to the
rebounding Maryland fencers. It will
be a revengeful and determined team

difficulty in subduing Zeta Psi by a
15-6 score. In the second game, by
handling the ball skillfully, they were

TAR HEEL NETMEN
ENGAGE 18 DUALS
By JERRY STOFF
Offering at least twelve home meets
and a generally enlarged schedule, the
Tar Heel tennis team will engage in
18 dual matches and three tourna
ments this spring, according to the
1939 tennis schedule released by Bo
Shepard, assistant director of athletics.
Four more meets, all slated for the
home courts, are still tentative.
Many new faces will be seen here
next quarter, when both practice and
the regular play get under way. New
netmen to invade the Hill will come
from Richmond, Washington and Lee,
and possibly Presbyterian and Mary
land. In addition, intersectional con
tests will be held with Williams, here
for a two day stay, Yale, in its annual
week of tennis at the Hill, and Cornell.
ROODS CO-CAPTAINS
Leading the Carolina netmen, will
be Co-Captains Bill and Carl Rood.
Other returning lettermen who will
answer Coach Kenfield's call are Bill
Rawlings, Charlie Rider, and Wilf ord
Gragg. Should Ed Fuller be declared
eligible, Tar Heel tennis hopes will rise
to a new high. .
For the first time in over a decade,
neither the state nor conference tour
naments will be held at Chapel Hill.
The circuit tourney has been moved
to William and Mary in Williamsburg,
Va., for its first appearance at the
home of the Indians, while the State
netmen will compete at State college.

Acrobats To rertorm
In Durham, WCUNC
Following the two exhibitions this
yinter, the Carolina gymnasts received
two requests for performances in their
lands. First to be filled comes from
the Women's college in Greensboro,
Friday night, March 3. The second will
take the boys to Durham for an ex
hibition before the Lion's Club annual
ladies' night audience, March 8 at the
Washington-Duke.
The exhibition to be given in Greens
boro will be in conjunction with the
W. C. 13th annual gymnastics and
physical education demonstration. This j
will be an all around affair, featuring
stunts . on the parallel bars, flying
rings, side horse, and mats. The Dur
ham engagement will be filled on the
parallel bars.
HIGH HONOR
The Lion's club invitation is a dis
tinct honor, in that members practi
cally commanded their "Tailtwister"
to bring the acrobats over for a show.
The Greensboro invitation came from
Mary Chiles Coleman, physical educa
tion head at the Women's college,
through Margaret Poyner, sports head.
Three games tomorrow night begin
the weirdest Southern conference
basketball tournament cn record in Ra
leigh's Memorial auditorium. VMI
plays Richmond at 7, State battles
Duke at 8, and Carolina meets Clem
son at 9.
Weird because the tournament com
mittee took the easiest way out and
;sent invitations to 11 instead of the
usual eight teams, and because play
starts a day earlier than scheduled, the
tourney will swing back to normality
with four games Thursday, two Fri
day and one Saturday.
The conference basketball committee
met in Lynchburg Sunday to select
and seed teams. The committee could
pick eight eight teams, thereby step
ping on the toes of countless teams
which had finished the season at .500
or invite all 15 schools in the confer
ence, thereby offending nobody.
POOR, MORE POOR
But inviting 15 schools might not
work. Some of the institutions in the
conference have poor basketball teams.
Poor basketball teams mean poor
games. Poor games mean a poor tour
nament. A poor tournament means
well no box office receipts, and no box
office receipts well that inevitably
means no tournament.
In order to keep peace and order,
the five man committee gathered round
a table and decided to invite every
team in the conference with a .500 av
erage and start play a day earlier in
order to eliminate the extra teams.
Having decided to leave precedent at
the door this year, the committee de
cided to avoid future squabbles and
eleven team tournaments by passing a

Charlotte, Durham
Battle In Woollen
Having won 37 games in a row, Dur
ham high school's basketball team
plays at Woollen gym tonight against
Charlotte high for the State Class A
championship. Cary and Mt. Airy play
for the B championship at 7:30 in the
first game of the night. The Class C
game between Conway and Pilot Moun
tain will begin after the Durham-Charlotte
game.
Durham is favored to whip Char
lotte easily. The Bull Dogs haven't been
beaten since the second game of the
1938 season and last Saturday finished
their season by thrashing the Duke
freshmen, 71-45.
Student tickets will be 35 cents and
regular tickets 50 cents.
