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 . . . The new Duke gym
opened last Saturday and everybody
in the house could smoke when the

Fencers Open Season Against
Winston - Salem Saturday
Big things are expected from the
Carolina foils team Saturday when
the Tar Heel fencers open the 1940
season against the Winston-Salem
fencing club in Woollen gym.
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. Co-Captains Allan
Bloom and Joe Boak and Dave Ma
lone are the senior foilsmen, supported

Boxers And Wrestlers Get Set For Openers;
Both Squads In Fine Shape For Competition
Citadel To Be Tough
Opponents For Boxers
Here Saturday Night
. 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.

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.

award to Radman, monogram and

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.

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

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
