THURSDAY, JANUARY 11. 1940 Shelley Rolf e ON THE CUFF To be perfectly frank about the en- e situation, no one has asked this partment to pick the winner of this rear's Big Five basketball race. But u know how those things are. Space t be fill daily; the readers must gtt their money s worth. Any Wt Iast year tnrough some quirk of a usually malign fate, the standings were selected on the nose. Tfcjs was considered extraordinary. This column is usually correct only when the University of Chicago en cages in a misnomered football game, row they've taken that crutch away. Life has many complexities. Some-one suggested a saliva test. " Here is how they might finish in 1540: Carolina Duke Wake Forest State Davidson If they do it will be a tremendous surprise. Being right two years in of any would be sports writer. But they might end up that way. Carolina should finish first. Not be cause of what they have done so far this year, but for what they have the potentialities of accomplishing. George Glamack is the best player in the state when it comes to dropping in points from under the basket and in generally rallying a team to a win ning pitch. The team is fast, smart, veil coached. Jimmy Howard, Paul Sererin, Al Mathes, Hank Pessar and Bin Dilworth make up a competent supporting cast for the great Gla mack. The team keeps picking up speed. By Mid-February it should be certainly the fastest team in the state, perhaps in the conference. Duke is strictly a one-man team. It is all Glen . Price. Wake . Forest , has no Jim Waller, but it has Bub Sweel and Vinnie Convery among others. But the Deacons do not pack the passing smoothness and fury of Price and Duke. The Devils ( get second place. State and Davidson seem to be far in the rear. The Red Terrors took a bad drubbing from Appalachian, a Carolina victim. Doc Sermon is build ing from the ground-up. His only experienced man on the first five is Kollins Sevier, a junior. Davidson has Jim Cowan and two Big Five beatings this early in the year from Duke and Carolina. The Pweds have asked Ernie Lom bardi to take a $6,000 cut. That's a lot cf cash to pay for one short nap on such a hard bed . . . Somebody should get consistent . . .

Three veterans plus a host of sea soned reserves compose what is prob ably the strongest foils outfit in the South. There is no number one man although Bloom will probably lead off Saturday, for the three first stringers are about equal.

BLOOM Bloom broke right into the first string foils berth two years ago when fencing began after a four year lapse, while Boak and Malone fought their ways up to the starting positions later on during the season. Malone started in earnest two years ago at the University of Maryland meet. He got hot and has stayed that way ever since. Boak took over McCallums position at the start of last season when McCallum dropped from the squad, and is still on top. Bloom is also top-rate sabreman while Boak, a new sabre fencer this fall, is rapidly gaining stride, ranking fifth in sabre right now.

By WILLIAM L. BEERMAN In case of fire or accident, the cur rent Carolina boxing team, which acts as host to Citadel's gentlemen of the ring Saturday night at 8 o'clock in Woollen gym, will be embarrassed if not completely mortified. It's a case of being too good, rather than not be ing good enough. Yesterday, while. his men worked themselves into a fine lather while re membering the Bulldog's victory at Charleston last year, Ronman made known that he would hold elimina tion bouts today, to see who fights what weight during the coming season. Then, on second thought, the coach discovered he had only two men to match against each other. In all other weights, the positions are cinched, with no com petition for the regulars in sight. Anyway, a final afternoon of regula tion three-round bouts between the var sity fighters will be held. Only Jim Inskeep and Al Rose, each after the 135-pound berth, will box with all to gain and plenty to lose. - Otherwise, from lil Billy Winstead to truck- horse Gates Kimball, the squad is complete and ready for service in six dual meets, the conference tournament in February, possibly a match with Miami later, and the National com petition in California. Information which . arrived from Charleston indicated the soldierboy mittmen are equally as strong as the fine squad of 1939, if not even better. Only two regulars are missing, and their spots are filled by promising sophomores. Dick Bagnal and Lynwood Duncan, fighting at 127 and 175 re spectively, are co-captains of the team. Duncan, who licked Red Sanders last season in a rough-and-tumble exhibit which had both lads outside the ring more than in it, meets Mike Bobbitt, Ronman's inexperienced but slugging light heavyweight. The Citadel boxers will arrive in Chapel Hill sometime Friday, in time to take a workout in Woollen gym. Following the bouts today, the var sity mittmen will work lightly tomor row and weigh in Saturday morning. Siewert Comments On Frosh Capers Coach Doc Siewert sent his fresh men cagers through their usual work out yesterday afternoon, and while at it commented that the team looked "rough in spots" Tuesday night in its season's opener against High Point high school. "The boys had a case of buck fever last night, it being their first game in college circles," he continued, "and the most surprising thing was the out standing play of Ed Antolini and Reid Suggs, guards." Neither received any publicity before the game, and each turned in the best floor work of any one on the court. - The frosh have the remainder of the week in which to prepare for the Wake Forest frosh, who invade Chapel Hill Monday night for the opening game oi tne nignts twin Dili, ine Langemen will meet the Baptists' varsity in the second game. Most of the practice sessions will feature offensive plays, but some time will be spent on working up a tight defense.

"The Most Complete Repair Shop in Town" S- BLOCKING BACK, LEADING SCORER HAS FINE RECORD By LEONARD LOBRED George Radman, Carolina blocking back and three years a letterman, ast night was selected by his " teammates the most valuable player of the 1939 football season at a Monogram club meeting in the new dining hall. One of the least noticed members of the Tar Heel grid team for the past three seasons, Radman has played con sistently fine ball, seldom stepping into" headlines because only occasion ally did he carry the ball. But for three years he has been known as one of the finest all-around backs in Caro lina football history. Although he follows such big-name players as Andy Bershak and Steve Maronic as winner of this award, given by E. Carrington Smith, Radman has been just as valuable to the team in the opinion of his teammates and other football followers. His athletic career at Carolina isn't over yet, though, as he is being count ed on this spring to play his third sea son with Coach Bunn Hearn's baseball team. A winning pitcher and hard hitting outfielder for two years, he will probably perform on both the mound and in the outer garden this spring. Radman alternated with Tom Bur nette as halfback in 1937, his sopho more year, and was marked then as a prospective standout on the Tar Heel eleven. He won his letter. ' Radman approached brilliance last year, leading the Tar Heels in scor ing. He led the team to victory over State, and reached stardom when he caught the winning touchdown pass that beat NYU, 7-0. . He repeated this performance last fall, snagging the pass that beat NYU, 14-7, here in Kenan stadium. He maintained his high scoring average all season, until he was hurt in the Davidson game and forced to the side lines for the encounter with Duke. Back in action in the Thanksgiving day game, Radman received a great ovation when he left the field for the last time. ' Preceding the presentation of the award to Radman, monogram and (Continued on page 4, column 1) Two Sophomores "Carry Off Honors In Swimming Trials Figuring greatly in plans for the 1940 swimming season which is just about to begin are two sophomores, George Meyer and Jim Barclay, who continued the fine work they have shown in early practice by walking off with some of the top honors in time trials yesterday. Although kept out of action all last year by illness, Meyer turned in an exceptionally good time in the 100- meter free style during the summer and, after more steady improvement in both the 100 and backstroke, is pushing Louis Scheinman, No. 1 back- stroker of last year's frosh team and now of the varsity. Meyer started in the backstroke Service Coach Quinlan Pleased With Matmen In Their First Trial Fights By FRANK GOLDSMITH t Tough competition in every class is what most wrestling coachr s pray for, and that's just what Coach Chuck Quinlan has to contend with at pres ent. Holding first trial fights for his grapplersin Woollen gym yesterday afternoon, in preparation for their meet with VPI at Blacksburg, Va., Sat urday night, the coach found there was plenty of material in every division. "We haven't had a situation like this since I've been here," Quinlan stated, and he promised that the Tar Heel wrestlers "were going to go places." The going promises to be tough for every man in every division with the running for each post on the first string wide open every week. That was all shown to full advan tage in the fights yesterday afternoon when Quinlan ran off the first half of the elimination matches in preparation for the opening match of the year for both freshmen and varsity against VPI in Blacksburg on Saturday. The 145-pouna class was dominated by two dark horses, Bob Hill and Gor don De Loach, the former taking the count of Dick Kemper and the latter getting the best of Bill Broadfoot, last (Continued on page 4, column 5) Mural Schedule BASKETBALL 4:00 Court No. 1 Old West vs. K No. 2; Court No. 2 Physical Education class; Court.

CMsl LANGEMEN MEET CONFERENCE FOE IN TWIN CITY The White Phantoms are ready to begin the long Southern conference pull that ends in March at the Raleigh tournament. Except for single games against Virginia and Navy, every one of the 16 contests left on the 1940 slate is against a loop team. They play their second of the season against a conference foe at Winston-Salem to night, meeting Virginia Tech at 8 o'clock. The Gobblers have a tough, scrappy ball club capable of good basketball. They came through Chapel Hill last year and beat Carolina at a time when the local coaching situation was very much up in the air. The Virginians have three football players for guards ; Quarterback Phil DeMuro, Fullback George Warriner and End Buddy Hen derson. All three did their part last fall while the Gobblers were holding the Tar Heels down to a 13-7, score. The game is likely to develop into the first really serious test of the strength of Bill Lange's first cage club. The Phantoms have already gotten by Ap plachian, Catawba and Davidson in regular season games and have looked successively better in each game. They beat Davidson, 55-47, at Charlotte last Saturday for their first confer ence victory of the year and will be slight favorites over Virginia Tech. This year's Carolina team is vastly superior to the '38 outfit that bare ly got into the tournament and prompt ly put out in the first round by Clem son and Banks McFadden. It has more balance, more speed and better pass ing. As usual, the Phantoms will be de (Continued on page 4, column 1) Notice!!!
