ne at the athletic association has J
JCie DUtWU, win.!. ww a ecw
jjje round, rubber dasher and a cage
eoaCli? No one lets on knowing any
jjig about who the' new coach might
beand no one wishes to extend his
out upon the chopping block and
talk about the matter.
Ceach Bob Fetzer was astounded
yesterday that any. one should give a
jecond thought to the new coach. A
reporter disguised as a blotter asked
the Tar Heel athletic director who the
cage coach might be next year?
"Well," hemmed Fetzer, "that is a
question no one can answer yet. The
athletic council meets Monday night
and they will decide then who the
Sew coach will be. Until then I don't
bow anything about the situation."
"Come, come," coaxed the blot
ter, jumping aside to avoid an ink
spot, "will the new coach come
from among the present coaching
staff? A number of the citizens
kave vulgarly whispered the new .
mentor might be Bill Lange, Floyd
Siewert andor Bo Shepard. Under
line your proper choice and send a
box top or a reasonably exact fac
simile back to the office."
Fetzer hemmed a while longer
and finally said, "I believe the new
coach will come from within the
coaching staff."
"Whew!" whistled the blotter,
reaching for a telephone, "that would
narrow the field down to Lange, Sie
wert and Shepard." -
Coach Bob exercised all of his con
stitutional rights and said nothing.
But by saying the man would come
from within the staff, he threw out
a lot of wild rumors and centered the
gaze of the morbid and curious upon
Biewert, Lange and Shepard.
Haying diligently kept my face
and ears clean the past year, and
guessing very wildly, HI say the
new coach will be Lange.
Lange .had., nothing to say yester
day. The blotter couldn't get the as
sistant football coach and chief scout
to say yes, no or undecided on the
proposed coaching job. All the blotter
could do was note that if Lange does
become basketball ringmaster he will
be unable to assist Ray' Wolf in
winter football practice. But the mul
titude can rest assured that Lange
will be able to continue his scouting
activities in the fall. Being about the
best Dan! Boone in this part of the
republic, he will continue his spying
and play-taking-down. .
Lange was football and basket
ball coach at Muskingum college
in Ohio for 13 years before he
came here in 19SS as assistant
wach with Wolf. He hasn't been

victory over Duke already on the

When the Tigers came here early
this week, Coach Matty Geis gave out
statements to the effect that this year's
Princeton team is about equal in
strength to last year's, but he pointed
out that it was about 10 days behind
in its work because of damp weather
in the North. The win over Duke Wed
nesday, one point better than last year's
72-54 score, seems to indicate, however,
that the Tigers have advanced rapidly
in their work here. As indicated Wed
nesday, Princeton is weak in the dis
tance runs, strong in all field events
and the sprints.

Walter Skidmore, the fellow
threw in the towel and resigned Mon
day after four seasons as Carolina bas
ketball coach, returned to Chapel Hill
yesterday to close out his local affairs,
and after a conference with Bo Shep
ard behind locked doors, announced he
would retire from coaching and go into
business next fall.
' "I've always wanted to get out of
coaching," Skidmore said. "And my
family has urged me to quit for years,
so, when I went back home to Harlan,
Ky., last week and had the chance to
go into the coal mining business with
an uncle, I jumped at the opportunity.
"I don't know. I guess 111 feel like
a race horse in pasture next winter and
itch to get out there and coach a team,
but I won't have to worry about win
ning. It will be a relief. Coaching is
all right, but you work at a fixed salary
all your life. By going into the min
ing business, I feel I can better myself
financially."
LANGE FOR COACH
Skidmore didn't know who might
succeed him as Tar Heel cage bossman.
Asked who it might be, Skidmore
thought ; awhile before replying, "It
looks like. Bill Lange has the inside
track. Whoever does get the job will
get a fine team. We started to win in
the second half of the season last win
ter, and the same first six men will be
back next season. The boys will be
able to play better basketball for they
will all have a year, of added experi
ence, and there are some mighty good
boys coming up from the freshmen.
Prospects look mighty bright."
Meanwhile, no moves have been made
towards naming a successor to Skid
more since he resigned last Monday.
Athletic director Bob Fetzer announced
yesterday the new coach would prob
ably not be named until the athletic
council holds its monthly meeting Mon
day. Since Fetzer announced the new
coach would come from the present
Carolina athletic association, the chief
candidates for the job have narrowed
down to Bill Lange, Floyd Siewert and
Bo Shepard. Most guessers give Lange
the inside track on the position.

winning streak up to three games.

Three major factors make the out

Frosh Baseballers
Will Play Mt. Airy
Nine Tomorrow
Ham Strayhorn wasn't very happy
yesterday afternoon partly because
his freshman baseball team did a lot
of very silly things in the course of
beating Burlington high school
Wednesday, and partly because the
Tar Babies will have to face Mt. Airy
high here tomorrow.
Mt. Airy, it seems, is currently
perched atop the North Carolina
high school baseball heap, and the
frosh have been behaving in a man
ner which has prompted Strayhorn to
unhappy thoughts of what dire events
may transpire tomorrow afternoon.
The Mt. Airy nine took a Winston
Salem team over the coals by 10-0
the other day, and the mountain boys
were boasting the best pitcher in
the state.
CHESHIRE ON MOUND
Lefty Cheshire will be sent to the
mound for the Tar Babies, and
Strayhorn hopes that the chunky
southpaw will continue the first-class
work he has done in relief roles. To
date, the Wilmington portsider has
hurled six innings and struck out
twelve batters.
There were a few too many rough
spots for comfort in the freshman
performance against Burlington, but
the batters continued to pick on op
position pitching for many and man
sized hits. The 10-3 victory gave the
Tar Babies a 10 -run average for
their four games.
Strayhorn will seek to solve the
riddle of what Julian Miller isnt
hitting when he puts his boys
through a practice drill this after
noon. Miller who came to Carolina
with the best recommendations a
newcomer has boasted in a long time
has gone hitless for three succes
sive games, despite a wunnerful rec
ord at Charlotte EL S.
worth while; ..
With an outside director, officiating
and with both teams eager; for victory,
the match this evening, will be some
thing worth seeing. The events on the
program have: been arranged to pro
vide continued interest for the spec
tators, while the sport itself, in com
petition and keenness, assures onlook
ers of witnessing the most outstanding
fencing meet ever held in the. South
east. The frosh swordsmen, in their sec
ond and final start, begin the works at
7:30. In a three-man foil round-robin,
the yearlings of Duke and Carolina
will mix it up in nine bouts. Both teams
are rated about even, the the Tar Heels'
only edge lying in the fact that they
have the experience from the Wardlaw
match.
Four bouts in sabre, slated to start
at 8:30, will initiate the varsity meet.
Captain Allan Bloom will take to the
strips first and is expected to lead the
Heels in tonight's meet. A two-man
epee team will follow the; sabr a events,
with the nine foil bouts closing the
evening's card.
Carolina rates slight favorites over
the embryonic Duke fencers. Well
coached and experienced in sabre and
epee, the Blue Devils wjll be fighting
hard in this first attempt but will have
a highly polished Blue and White out
fit to contend with.
"All I know,": he told questioners,
"is that I will coach freshman foot
ball. I haven't heard a thing, about
handling freshman, baseball. But I
know definitely I will have nothing to
do with frosh basketball. ,
"I intend to have a long talk with
Coach Wolf before t leave Chapel Hill
so we can discuss my position. My one
aim with the freshman footballers will
be to develop them for varsity foot
ball and Wolf. I will coach the play
ers exactly the way he wants me to."
Tatum's Big Reds will be after their
first win of their Southern tour today.
So far the lads from Ithaca have lost
to Richmond once and Wake Forest
twice.
Yesterday's rain upset Bunn Hearn's
pitching plans. The Tar Heel bossman
had intended to shoot Radman at the
Generals, let Cornell bat against Da
vis, and save Bud Hudson for Satur
day's game with Davidson at David
son. Now, Hearn can't decide whether
to use Davis or Radman today. Hud
son still stands as the choice against
the Wildcats.
The first championship swimming
meets were held by the New York
Athletic club in 1877.
Let the Daily Tar Heel keep your
friends at home informed.
Freshmen To Meet
Deacs In Tennis
Undefeated in their first two starts,
Carolina's freshman tennis team jour
neys to Wake Forest for a match with
the Deacon Frosh at 2:30 this after
noon.
Both Durham High and Peddie have
fallen victims to the Tar Babies, the
latter by a convincing shutout, but
more competition is to be looked for in
the f rosh's first engagement with a
college outfit.
Per usual the Tar Baby singles will
be led off by Sonny Jordan, who has
yet to drop a set this season.
With another unmarred record, Ham
Anthony will take care of matters on
the number two courts while Blair
Rice, after defeating his Peddie oppo
nent in love sets, will attempt to gath
er another convincing victory in the
number three singles. Joe Greenberg,
the only man to drop more than one
game to the prep schoolers on Wednes
day, is slated for the number four post
with Pat Winston and Bill Calhoun on
the last two matches.
As for the doubles, Coach Kenfield
hasn't decided who will face the Wake
Forest frosh. Chances are that he
won't use his first tfiree men, Jordan,
Anthony or Rice, unless forced to. .

HOW TO TIE A TIE
1.
Arrow, makers of famed Arrow shirts
. . . now make neckties. And here tells
you how to tie them. First, put the'
wide end over and under narrow end
thus .
3.
Then form a preliminary knot, by
bringing wide end over narrow end
and up ' through opening - at collar.
Smooth out the preliminary knot.
Next, put the wide end through the
loop loosely and smooth out again.
Keeping the knot smooth is important.
Now make a groove lengthwise in the
wide end by pinching the sides to
gether. This groove when you pull
the tie tight forms a dimple beneath
knot. Arrow Ties, because of their rich
fabrics, achieve this drape easily.
J The finished job looks like this. Knot
not too big and not so tight it
screeches. Tie one of our Arrow Ties
in this manner and you have the last
. word in necktie smartness.
