For one thing, Gates Kimball makes 1U liHl VlllMo
bis long-anticipated debut as a col
lege boxer, something worth watch
ir.g from the spectator point of view.
Back in 1935, Kimball was just a
gob in the Navy with a pretty good
build- He liked sports, and between
deck-washing and other duties he
played around in the ring with sailors
who liked to box. He learned rapidly,
and before his time with Uncle Sam
was up the lad had been unofficially
declared champion of the fleet, or some
each honor.
When Gates came to Carolina he
was snapped up as a football player.
In the fall of 1938, he chanced one
drizzling afternoon to straggle into
the new boxing room at Woollen
gym. He put on the gloves, walked
op to a punching bag and practically
knocked it from its moorings with
rapid blows. Coach Ronman was de
lighted. He said hello to Gates, and
thre was talk of using the foot
baller that season.
It so happened that Kimball was
ineligible to box last year. Neverthe
less, he worked out for a long while,
sparring with regular heavyweight
Ed Hubbard, Walter Palanske, and
ether large gentlemen. His skill was
amazing, his punches terrific. It
seemed impossible that another heavy
weight of such ability existed in col
lege circles. Ronman was happy in the
thought that Kimball would fight in
1940.
Tonight, the big boy has his first in
tercollegiate bout. He fights Max
Young, a Citadel football player who
can also box. But Kimball has his eyes
on a trip to California and the na
tional championship.
Nothing in the conference can stop
him. '
Winstead, Gennett, Dickerson,
Sanders, and Kimball are the men
Ronman is confident are capable of
winning all their matches this year.
The first four are veterans of last
season's tourney at Columbia. Kim
ball needs no further explanation.
The others, Al Rose and Jim Inskeep
at 13S, Clark Bartlett at 155, and
Mike Bobbitt at 175, seem to be de
pendable, better-than-average men.
Carolina beat only State and Duke
in 1939, losing to Citadel, Virginia,
VPI, and tying Maryland. This season,
unless some dire catastrophe crops up,
Mr. Ronman's leather-slinging pro
teges should sweep the conference.
A couple of new rules are in effect
this year, put in the book by the Na
tional Intercollegiate association which
is ever striving to keep college box
ing a clean, safe, amateur sport. A
coach can now go into his man's cor
ner and give him advice and attention.

Dolphins Swim Intersquad Meet Today
FIRST TEST IS TO COME NEXT WEEK
AGAINST VIRGINIA TECH TANKMEN
Only one week before they open the University's second swimming season,
Coach Dick Jamerson's varsity swimmers will engage Coach Ralph Casey's
freshmen in an intersquad meet this afternoon at 3:30 to try to improve even
more on their pre-season performances.
Having bettered their past times greatly before and since the holidays, the
Blue Dolphins still seem capable of going through the water with greater
speed, and Coach Jamerson wants to see them in competition before they meet
Virginia Tech here in Bowman Gray pool next Saturday, The intersquad meet
this afttrnoon will be run in the scholastic order of events. '
Two soDhomores with very eood'S"'
chances of becoming star performers
before the year is over, Bill Peters
and Ben Lee, will probably be watch
ed, while another second year man
with just as good a chance of reach
ing stardom, Whit Lees, will watch
from the side.
Lee is a breaststroker, No. 1 man
in his event on the frosh team last
winter. But, faced with the task of
beating out two lettermen and an
other varsity holdover from last year,
he hasn't been rated very high so far,
even though his times have improved
all season. He is expected to be of
ereat aid to the varsity next year,
and his prospects for this year are
not altogether darlc
Peters will have a head start this
afternoon to take the No. 2 berth in
the 100-meter free style, since Lees,
his chief rival for that position, will
be out another week because of ill
WRESTLERS HOPE
OVER VIRGINIANS
By FRANK GOLDSMITH
BLACKSBURG, Va, Jan. 12 Coach
Chuck Quinlan and his 18 Tar Heel
freshmen and varsity wrestlers ar
rived here tonight in high hopes of
beating the VPI grapplers whom they
meet in the opening match of the sea
son tomorrow afternoon in the Gob
blers' gym.
The Tar Heels boast a varsity con
tingent which even looks better than
the one which eked out an 18-14 win
over-the Techmen in Woollen gym
last year, but the Tar Babies will have
to turn in some tricky wrestling to
equal last year's Carolina yearlings'
23-10 margin of victory over the VPI
frosh. t Little seems to be known
about the Gobbler grappling outfit,
except that if they run true to form
they ought to give the Quinlanmen a
hot battle.
There are two places on the Caro
lina varsity where there is uncer
tainty of who will take the mat when
the two outfits meet, those being the
121-pound class and the 155-pound
division. Quinlan has both Walt Lam
beth and Bill Hamlin at his call in the
first division while either Roger Weil
or Clarence Idol will do the fighting
in the second class. Lambeth would
seem to have the edge on his division
mate, while Idol, if a stomach irrita
tion clears up, will get the call over
Weil. The 136-pound battle will see
Walt Blackmer doing the honors for
the Tar Heels with Charlie Tillett,
last year's frosh captain, holding
down the slot for the 128-pound fight.
Gordon DeLoach will see action in the
145-pound battle which will feature
his first sight of intercollegiate wrest
ling. Steve Forrest will take the mat
for the Tar Heels in the 165-pound af
fair with ,Winston Broadfoot holding
down the 175-pound post. Don Tor
rey will close the afternoon's engage
ments for the Tar Heel side of the
ledger in the unlimited division.
For the freshmen Bill Redfern will
open the honors in the 121-pound class
with Hobart McKeever following him
in the 128. From there Bert Gleicher
will take over the situation with his
136-pound bout, followe'd by Bill Sum

holds the freshman record in the 100
meter event. He, too, has shown im
provement, and, having very good
possibilities of becoming one of the
best sprinters in the Southern con

the Blue Dolphins this winter.
Lees, when he hits his best form,
will also be among the leading sprint

Wake Forest First Real Foe
For Phantoms, Says Lange
.
The fire and fury that has been miss
ing from Carolina basketball since the
start of the season is due to appear
Monday night at Woollen gym. The
still untested White Phantoms meet
Wake Forest and by the time the game
is over Bill Lange should be able to
tell whether his team is, as the experts
seem almost unanimous in predicting,
the one to beat for the conference
championship.
Lange still won't commit himself on
the strength of his outfit. It has won
four straight regular season games
and that plus the five vacation tri
umphs over semi-pro competition gives
it nine in a row. But Lange still in
sists the team has not yet met a real
ly serious test.
Carolina comes to the Wake Forest
game fresh from an overwhelming,
46-25, win over Virginia Tech.' The
Gobblers after an early ,f lurry had no
business being on the floor with the
Phantoms. Except for George Gla
mack, who is as inevitable under the
basket these days as flu in the winter
quarter, every one of the starters fail
ed to pick up a point the first six min
utes. Glamack made the early markers,

Fencers Duel Winston-Salem
Here Today At 3:30 In Opener
Rated on a par with the famed un
defeated and conference championship
1931 team, Carolina's 1940 swords
men raise the curtain on the first
of a 12-meet schedule this afternoon at
3:30 in Woollen gym against the Winston-Salem
fencing club. " The Twin
City swordsmen, coached by Glenn
Shermer, bring a well-trained outfit
to the Hill for a 27-bout meet in a regu
lation match.
The Tar Heels are "hot" in every
sense of the word. Although they are
anxious to dig into intercollegiate ac
tion, the Carolina fencers have been
seriously prepping fof today's contests
all week, rounding into fairly good
shape in all divisions.
WATCH THE FOILS
Especially interesting will be the
long-awaited showing of the foils team,
considered one of the best in the South.

and was finally joined in, the scoring
parade by the rest of the men. After
that the Gobblers could do nothing
but hang .on for dear life with pained
expressions. Lange insists the game
was no true test of Carolina strength.
It may not have been much of a
game, but the Tar Heels did look bet
ter. Perhaps, they are adopting a habit
of improving from game to game. At
that rate they should be the hottest
club in the nation by tournament time.
The Phantoms were getting the re
bounds and following up on the long
shots. That's winning basketball
against any team, no matter how weak
it may be. And the Virginians, for
the first half at least, offered a more
than reasonable amount of resistance.
Wake Forest misses Jim Waller this
year. That is natural. For three sea
sons Jim was the best hook shot per
former in the league. A year ago he
carried the Deacons through 15 regu
lar season conference wins against
three defeats. They were put out in
the semi-finals of the tournament by
Clemson. Boyd Owen, who was sec
ond man in the loop scoring to Waller,

year, will turn on the heat to make
up for a poor season in '39.
Another football player, Mike Bob
bitt of Greensboro, goes in the ring
against 175-pound Lynwood Duncan,
conference champion. Bobbitt has no
boxing skill as yet, but depends on
j swift rushing and rapid slugging to
carry him through. The Citadel lad
is husky, and has a. maximum of ring
knowledge to call on in the pinches.
Carolina champ, flyweight Billy
Winstead, is scheduled to meet Gilbert
Hoffman, an untried sophomore.
Winstead, a blitzkreig boxer who can
punch a man a dozen times in half that
many seconds, is in top shape for his
final season of boxing.
Ronman hasn't made up his mind
whether to use Al Rose or Jim Inskeep

Jack Leonard.
In the 155-pound affair Clark Bart

equal in experience and ability.
Workmen spent the afternoon yester
day getting the ring ready for tonight.
Ropes were done up in blue and white
cloth, a new canvas put on, and the
whole assembly was prepared to be
taken upstairs to the main floor. All
fighters weigh-in today, around noon.
Loop Mentors Change
Clemson and Citadel filled their
coaching vacancies yesterday. The
Tigers, left without a gridiron mentor
