ON THE
CUFF
SIT
files
Let us not rush too madly about,
but at the moment, the best possible
ro0ve would be to the hills. The war is
about to break. From now on in, it's
every publicity man for himself and
darts at 10 paces in the race to get
joe Blotz on some handy All-American
team. The gin-swallowing-, hand-shaking
stage is past. The thing is busi
ness now, and may the player with the
best press agent and the biggest
mimeographing machine win. He will
anyhow.
It is trusted that several of you
observed the state press yesterday
morning. If you did, youTnay have
Botked that some of the news
papers carried long and detailed, in
spired stories of the game-by-game
exploits of three individuals bruited
to be some shakes as football players,
namely, George Stirnweiss, George
McAfee and Jim Lalanne. " s
taeh story told in glowing adjec
tives that each player had been ab
solutely tops all season as a gentle
man, scholar and athlete. Them nar
ratives dripped with sentiment and
awe and ended up by saying that if
Blank Blank did not make All
American, several sports writers
were things that are not usually
mentioned in or out of polite society
while the polite society was still,
sober.
Everything broke at once. Col. Rob
bert W. Madry, Marion Alexander and
Tom Bost of the Chapel Hill expedi
tionary forces put up the report on
Stirnweiss and Lalanne last week. The
news drifted to Duke where Ted Mann
of the Blue Devil bombers immediate
ly began combing the files and pounds
ing on his typewriter. The result was
that a story was produced admitting
that George McAfee was a pretty fair
country ball player.
Now we had intended to run each
player's record side by side and let
you judge for yourself. But at the last
moment seven of the printers dropped
dead from the shock of listening to the
Lone Ranger so we had to forget about '
the whole thing.
Here is a capsule report of all three
surveys:
STIRNWEISS:
The Citadel: Wow!
Wake Forest: Wow! Wow!
NYU: Wow! Wow! Wow! Ouch! (by
Mai Stevens).
Ad Infinitum.
LALANNE:
The Citadel: Whew!
Wake Forest: Whew! Whew!
Virginia Tech: Whew! Whew!
Whew!
McAFEE:
Davidson: Sizzling!
Colgate: Flaming!!
Pittsburgh: Overheated!!!
Ad Infinitum.
Now that the matter has been dis
posed of in the best possible way,
I will admit that the whole thing
was very impressive. But, so what?
As far as this corner is concerned,
and some of you may have gathered
this. Brer Stirnweiss is the only one
of the three who should merit Ail
American consideration.
George has been hot in every game
this fall except the Virginia Tech
affair and he sat that out on the
bench. A late first half injury
robbed him of the chance to star at
Penn. He slipped a bit, at Tulane,
but was still just about the best
back in the state of Louisiana that
afternoon. Stirny has been hot from
the day he stepped into a varsity
suit three years ago. It will be a
hame if he fails to make Ail-American.
Lalanne is only a junior. Jim is a
brilliant player, one of the best in the
country, but I think he would be one
of the first to admit that Stirnweiss

Final Bouts Today
lii Boxing Toontey
By WILLIAM L. BEERMAN
Finals in the All-University boxing tournament will be fought this afternoon
at 3 o'clock in Woollen gym.
Sixteen novice sluggers, who managed to outbox opponents in the preliminary
and semi-final rounds, have been paired off in eight weight-divisions and will
finish the day either conquerors or conquered.
Mike Ronman, varsity boxing coach
who is in charge of the newly - con -
ceived tournament, said yesterday that
another meet for more experienced
fighters, will be started soon after the
Thanksgiving holidays are over. "This
first one was successful in every way,"
he said. "We were pleased to find so
many students interested in the sport.
All of .them worked out for a week or
more before they got in competition,
and nearly every entrant made a good
showing."
NOT INTRAMURAL
The tournament is not being con
ducted as an intramural sport, and the
novice match is an intra-student af
fair, no points being awarded for
dormitory or fraternity entries. The
winners will be declared individual
champions in their weight. However,
the second tourney will be conducted
on a scoring basis, points going to
representatives of dorms and frats.
Some system of awards will be worked
out, Ronman said.
The semi-final rounds were com
pleted Thursday afternoon, and
there were no fights yesterday. In
the finals today are:
120: Hamlin vs. Cherry; 127:
House vs. Klitenick; 135: Hughes
vs.,Sager; 145: Powers vs. Tull;
155: Brantley vs. Cohn; 165: Ed
wards vs. WTalker; 175:. Williamson
vs. Clark; Hvy.: Merrill. vs. Gibbs.

Duke, Clemson End Seasons
In Conference Games Today
By SHELLEY ROLFE
Duke and Clemson, two teams look
ing to the west for bowl bids, finish
their Southern conference season today
and at nightfall both are expected to
be putting in dual claims for the loop
title.
Both are undefeated in loop compe
tition, and it will take upsets of the
biggest sort if they are beaten today.
The Iron Dukes, about to clinch their
fourth crown in five years, play State
at Raleigh and Clemson meets Furman
at Greenville.
The Furman-Clemson job is one of
those tradition battles in which any
thing can happend. Anything can this
time, that is Clemson can score four
touchdowns and maybe it can grab six.
The Tigers have Banks McFadden,
Joe Blalock, Shad Bryant," and etc.,
all adding up to a football team which
is ranked among tne nrsi i
country.

LOOP CHAMPIONS
By SHELLEY ROLFE
Duke, needing only a victory today
to insure a claim on its fourth Southern
conference championship in five years,
battles State at Riddick stadium, Ra
leigh, this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The Blue Devils rivited down their
second title in a row last Saturday
at Duke stadium when they charged
and swept Carolina from the ranks of
the undefeated, 13-3, bottling up the
Tar Heels aerial game and generally
making it a disagreeable afternoon for
Skipper Raymond B. Wolf. Duke plays
its final game of the season against
the Red Terrors, and a win would at
the worst tie them at the top with un
defeated Clemson, which meets Fur
man at Greenville today.
It would rate as one of the outstand
ing upsets of the generation if State
managed to knock off the Methodists.
A Doc Newton coached team has never
taken a Wallace Wade club, and this
doesn't seem to be the year for mir
acles. State is improving from week
to week, but the Country Boys would
have to play way over their heads to
come close , tq the sturdy -band of the
Blue Devils.
LAST YEAR
A Rose Bowl team a year ago, Duke
is generally conceded to have a bet
ter club this autumn. The fellows
may not have an unscored-on record,
and indeed they lost one game to Pitt,
by one point but they have- more
power, more guile and more drive than
they did last season. That 14-13 de
feat by Pitt is more than balanced by
wins over Carolina, Georgia Tech,
(Continued on page 4, column 1)
1 Furman lost a 12-7 decision last Sat
urday to State.
Duke' should have little trouble
against State. Having conquered Car
olina, the conference seems too small
again for the Blue Devils. State al
ways puts up a good fight against the
men of Wallace Wade, but it takes
more than spirit to win football games
in this modern era of the speed-up.
South Carolina, beaten from pillar
to post by every team it has met in
the conference, battles Miami. The
Floridians should win by a touchdown
or so.
BEST OF CONFERENCE
The rest of the conference teams
either played last Thursday or are
marking time for next Thursday. Car
olina, Wake Forest and Davidson are
idle. VMI dumped VPI Thursday.
Citadel beat Erskine. Syracuse nosed
out Maryland by kicking a field goal
and W & M upset Richmond, dumping
the Spiders from the ranks of the un
defeated. In the Southeastern conference:
Georgia Tech is favored over Florida;
Auburn over Georgia; Ole Miss over
Mississippi State; and Tulane over
Sewanee.
Northwestern university will con
duct a special school on contemporary
events for students', fathers attending
the Dads' Day celebration.

All upperclassmen interested in
participating in the annual fresh-man-upperclassmen

Seven Tar Heels End Careers
Against Virginia Cavaliers
Seven burly citizens under suspicion of being football players who have
given their all for the Carolina cause for three autumns wind up their college
careers Thanksgiving Day when the Tar Heels play their last game of the
year against Virginia. ;
The seven have been instrumental this season in giving Carolina one of its
most successful teams in years, Carolina having won seven, lost one and tied
one as it prepares for the Cavaliers. During the three years the seven boys
have played varsity ball, the men of Ray Wolf have won 20, lost four and tied
three games.

1940 CAP PLACED
IN EVERY MEET
By HARRY HOLLINGSWORTH
Wimpy Lewis, a letterman for two
seasons, was elected captain of the
Carolina cross-country team for 1940
yesterday.
One of the most dependable men on
tne Carolina harrier team this fall, he
placed in all of the Tar Heels' dual
meets and ended
the- season a week
ago by taking fifth
place in the South
ern conference
meet. Taking elev
enth in the confer
ence run last fall,
his fifth place made
$1 '
WIMPY
LEWIS the second consec
utive year that he has placed in the
first fifteen in the conference.
Having worked out all summer, he
reported for cross-country practice in
fine shape, and started the season off
by tying for first place against David
son with four other Carolina men. In
the Duke meet one week before the
conference he duplicated his perform
ance against Davidson and tied for
first place again.
IN MARYLAND
Running in Maryland through mud
and in the face of a strong wind,
Wimpy was the fifth Carolina man to
finish and eighth in the meet. The fol
lowing week a strong Navy team came
down, and the Tar Heels were sup
posed to have had a hard time beat
ing them. But with Tom Crockett, this
season's captain, setting a fast pace,
Carolina shut out the Middies with
Lewis adding his bit to the occasion j
by annexing third place.
Wimpy had never run before com
ing to Carolina, but in his freshman
year he was induced by his friends to
enter the intramural cake race. He
finished second behind Harry March.
Although he didn't report for fresh
man cross-country, he did come out
his. sophomore year, and improved to
the place where he was running among
the first eight on the team at the end
of the season. The first meet of the
fall was against Davidson, but he
didn't run. The next weekend he ran
in a reserve meet against Guilford
college and tied for second place with
five other Carolina runners.
AT NAVY UNOFFICIALLY
Running unofficially against Navy
last fall, he finished far in the rear
in a surprise Midshipman win over
' (Continued on page 4, column 4)
The Associated Press last night
placed Carolina's James "Sweet"
Lalanne on its second team at quar
terback, in one of the earliest an
nouncements of any fall -all-teams
this year. Duke's Captain Allen
. "Sweet Pea" Johnson was the only
Southern conference star to make
a first team berth, at guard. George
Caf ego, mighty Vol backfield leader,
also was placed on the first team.
No honorable mentions were given
in the radio report.
The group includes such talented
first line performers as Co-Captains
George Stirnweiss and Jim Woodson,
George Radman, Chuck Slagle and
Chuck Kline. George Ralston, Ire
serve center, and Leo Slotnick, sub
back, will also draw their diplomas
next June.
STIRNY STANDS OUT
Stirnweiss has been a standout for
three autumns. He sat out a good
part of his sophomore year watching
Crowell Little lead the Tar Heels to
a conference title, missed the first
games last season because, of stomach
ulcers, but since then the Flying
Dutchman has been a ball of back
field fire. He was All-South last
year and will repeat this year, bar
ring accidents and major castrophes.
George is very much in the race for
All-American honors. His snaky run
ning and accurate passing have
caught the eyes of the national ex
perts. Woodson stepped into a first string
guard spot three years ago because
Ray Wolf was willing to take a long
chance. Jim produced from the start.
He plays a quiet game, but it is
efficient and methodical.
REGULAR RADMAN
Radman has been a regular for
three years. It is generally conceded
that George is the most underrated
man in the Southern conference. His
worth to the Tar Heels was empha
sized last Saturday when with him
on the bench, Carolina lost to Duke
13-3 for its first defeat of the season.
