The GAME
O -
With LEONARD LOBRED
Wimpy Lewis is a little man to be
going to classes, making the honor
roll, holding down a self-help job and
running cross-country and track all
year 'round, but somehow he does.it.
In fact, he does it in such a convincing
manner that his teammates on .the
cross-country squad elected him cap
tain of the Carolina harriers for 1940.
Wimpy Lewis is a self-made man
all the way through. He comes from
Fallston. a crossroads town some
where in the vicinity of Shelby,
where he had no opportunity to par
ticipate in organized athletics. He
had a try at American Legion base
ball and made the team, but never
tried to continue in the game. He
started to work as soon as he came
here, and has worked ever since,
whether at his job or on the track.
Wimpy is almost like a "daddy" to
most of the girls at the Shack, now
that they've learned of his deeds on the
track. He works in the kitchen there,
and has some fancy title like kitchen
superintendent. But he was just an
other nobody to the girls until they
and a couple thousand other interested
spectators saw him pedal around the
board track at Woollen gym 20 times
last February 25 and take second place
in the two-mile run in the Southern
conference Indoor Games. It was the
first championship track meet
which he had ever competed.
in
Wimpy got started in track by what i
one might call accident. In
JJg firSt I
quarter here, Wimpy went with George
Zink, defending champion and record
holder in the Cake Race, to work out
for the annual 1.9 miles intramural
run. After taking his Vrorkouts, he de
cided to start. He finished second, the
winner being Harry March, the one
man track team on the Carolina squad.
Wimpy didn't run indoor track, but
in spring track he Tan the two-mile
and ended the season with a second
place, against the. Duke freshmen.
He ran cross-country last year as a
sophomore, and although not starting
the season with any too great a flour
ishj he finished with a bang. Coach
Dale Ranson selected him at almost
the last minute to run in the Southern
conference harrier meet, and Wimpy
surprised a good many folks by takT
ing twelfth in the conference field, the
seventh of eight Carolina starters.
Then came the Indoor Games!
Tommy Fields of Maryland, a sopho
more himself, lived up to advance
notices and led the field all, the way
around the 10-lap track. Wimpy
Lewis, letting other men, pass him
when they wanted, but runnin.g a
steady pace regardless, came off, the
last turn, into, the finish, in second
place amid the cheers of the girls of
the Shack, who didnt know until
then who, Wimpy really was.
WTimpy, ran track-last spring, arid
was a consistent placer, in the . twoT
mile. With Tom Crockett,, Drewry
Troutman, occasionally Dave Morrison
and toward the end of the season Fred
Hardy running, the same distance, he.
had to fight for. his.berth, but he held
it. At Virginia he, Troutman. and Mor
rison finished in a triple tie for first
place. ,'.:
When yimpy goes in for. some
thing, he really goea in right. He-is
majoring in statistics of. all things

NOVICES SHOW
IMPROVED SKILL
IN MITT BATTLES
By HARRY HOLLINGSWORTH
"It was the most successful . box
ing tournament that I have seen since
I've been here," said Boxing Coach
Mike Ronman yesterday afternoon at
the conclusion of the finals in the All
University boxing tournament, which
saw seven men crowned winners in
their divisions.
All of the bouts went off as schedul
ed but the 135-pound class one which
was forfeited to Tom Hughes when
his opponent, Donald Sager, failed to
show up. In each of the eight bouts
the novices demonstrated that they had
learned something of boxing in advanc
ing to the finals, and many of them
showed improvement over their earlier
bouts.
The feature bout of the afternoon
was in the 155-pound class in which
Jules Brantley outboxed Murray Cohn

oacK strong in tne unai one to get me
nod from the judges. They divided
the second.
In the 165-pound class it was neces
sary to stage two battles, since three
men qualified for the finals. Nick
Walker and Stewart were paired off
in the first one; Edwards drew the
bye. Walker decisioned his opponent,
and after resting until all of the bouts
were over-except his, lost to Edwards
in a close count. Walker was strong
fatrhe. finish, but Edwards had built
up too much of a margin in the first
two rounds.
Bill Hamlin gained the only TKO
of the finals when he caught Cherry
on the head with a hard blow, which
dazed him' so much that he was unable
to continue. The telling blow came
after 30 seconds of the second round.
Kent Merrill won a clean cut de
cision over Deacon Gibbs in the unlimit
ed class. Punching hard and vicious

Sensation of the Virginia backfield for three seasons is Halfback Jim Gil
lette, who will make his final collegiate appearance here Thanksgiving Day
when the Cavaliers hove on the local scene for the annual renewal of one of
the South's oldest and most colorful football rivalries. Gillette is a powerful
runner and fine punter, but it is his brilliant left-handed passing that has paved
the way for the Cavalier victories over Hampden-Sydney, Maryland, W&L,.
Chicago and W&M.
Twelve Sophs Have Rendered
Valuable Service On Gridiron
When Raymond B. Wolf closes the
books on the 1939 football season after i
the Virginia game Thursday, he will
have . no regrets about the services
rendered by the sophomores this year.
At least 12 men came up from a Tar
Baby squad, described as one of the
poorest in recent years, and made their
presence felt on the varsity. Three
of the 12 have played first string most
of the season. Wolf's prize rookie
crop includes Dick White, Harry Dun
kle, Bill Faircloth, Pinky. Elliott, Fred
Stallings, Stew Richardson, Bob Stoin-
off, Frank O'Hare,, Charley Baker,
George Spransy, Gwynn Nowell and
Carl Suntheimer.
White, Faircloth and Dunkle have
been starters almost from the begin
ning of the year. Suntheimer, divid
ing time with an injured Bob Smith,
has been outstanding on offense and
defense ever since the Tulane game
when he' played most of the second
half after Smith had been hurt early
in the second quarter.
At the start of the season, Wolf
had a tackle problem. Steve Maronic,
an All-American a year ago, had grad
uated and left a gaping hole. Wolf
tried moving guard Chuck Slagle and
he gave sophomore White a shot at
the post. From the start, White proved
to be the answer to the bossman's
prayers. Dick charges hard, hits fast
and generallyconducts himself as
befits an outstanding tackle.
Dunkle has. one-of. the best kicking
averages in the nation. He has made
three fieldgoals this fall including the
points against Duke last Saturday.
Towards the end of the season he has
been picking up on offense and defense
and doing everything possible to keep
letterman Sid Sadoff on the bench.
Faircloth was the greenest soph in
the lot when he reported for the squad.
He had played exactly six games of
high school football before he went out
for the freshman team last year. But

HEELS, VIRGINIA
TO MEET AT NET
Carolina and Virginia, whose
rivalry,, is the oldest in the south, re
new their athletic hostilities here
Wednesday in their annual Thanks
giving day and fall tennis exhibition.
Although the Tar Heels have lost
but three times in the 15-year-old
J history of, the tennis series, they w
ill
be rated no better than even against
the Cavaliers, who won last year by
a 5-to-2 , count. Both schools have
lost three men who were of about
equal ability. Virginia lost Dunclan,
Mahoney and Thompson, all of whom
won their matches last year; while
Carolina lost the Roods, Carl and Bill,
and Frank Farrell.
For the Tar Heels this will be the
only team match of the fall quarter,
and they are eager to get at the Vir
ginians, who won only m lyza, 'zy
and last year. The score was 3-2 last
year when it became dark, and the
final matches won by Virginia were
played in total darkness. Two
matches weren't played at all.
Playing for Carolina in the number
one, two and three berths will be Co
captains Charley Rider and Bill Raw
lings and Walter Meserole, while the
remaining three starters will be
chosen from among Zan Carver, Ham
Anthony, Blair Rice, Dave Early,
Joe Greenberg and Melville Jordan.
Virginia will be led by Charley
Channing, tall blond No. 1 man, and
Ricky Fuille and Henry Buchanan,
who were here last year.

Duke Wilis Conference Grown
For Second Consecutive Time
: By SHELLEY ROLFE
RIDDICK STADIUM, Raleigh, Nov. 25 Duke's sturdy Blue Devils, a power
ful unit of football wealth gathered from here, there and everywhere along th
eastern part of the nation, captured their second consecutive Southern confer
ence championship and their fourth in five autumns this frigid afternoon, crush
ing State, 28-0, and doing a thorough and effective job, statistics to the con
trary. Turning on all the strength at their command, the Dukes, looking even better
than they did a week ago against Carolina, rushed over two quick touchdowns
within five minutes of each other in the opening quarter; added another in the.
second, and tapered off with a fourth quarter score that did little more than
emphasize the complete superiority of the Wademen.

McAfee. Behind perfect blockine and
running bowlegged the left-handed
young man who began' his football
days at In ronton hard on the muddy
Ohio, scored one of the Duke touch
downs and generally conducted him
self in the manner of a gentleman
who was intent upon living up to all
his beautiful . press notices. It was
the final game of his college career,
and he played four brilliant quarters,
taking time out only to catch his
breath after being hurt midway in
the second half.
It took Duke exactly seven minutes
to find the scoring range. But once
they learned the direction of the goal
line, there was no stopping the boys.
Bolo Perdue, who made himself fa
mous in the Pitt game last autumn
when he blocked the punt that sent
Duke to the Rose Bowl, partially
blocked an Art Rooney punt deep in
State territory and the ball went out
on the Wolfpack 40. Two plays later,
Jap Davis galloped 22 yards on a fake
reverse for the first Blue Devil touchy
down. Bill Bailey kicked the first
of his three extra points.
McAFEE AGAIN
George of the McAfees took the
second Duke score over five, minutes
after the first 27 yard jaunt through
the State line. With McAfee again
leading the way with his running and
pass catching, Duke scored; in the
third quarter with Roger Robinson
doing the dirty work on a tvro yeard
buck over center.
Tommy Prothro intercepted a fourth
period Fat Fehley forward and ran
55 yards to the State 11 before ; he
