FLNAL WORKOUT
LEAVE TOMORROW
Having taken their last time trials
before they leave tomorrow for two
stiff meets over the week-end with
Virginia and William and Mary in
their opponents' home pools, Carolina's
varsity swimmers appear to be in fine
shape.
The Dolphins will take their last
workouts today, leave by bus tomor
row morning at 9 and meet the Caval
iers Saturday. William and Mary will
be met Monday at Williamsburg.
If they can maintain their present
conditions by keeping out of the snow,
the Tar Heels will be. at top form
when they go against Virginia. On
the basis of trials yesterday, there
will be changes in the line-up, but
the squad is in good shape. The Dol
phins hope the Cavaliers won't be
on the rebound after losing by a shut
out score to Navy last week-end.
Otho Ross displaced Murray
Drucker as the leading breaststroker
yesterday by besting the latter's time
in trials. Ben Lee was third and Noel
Woodhouse fourth.
Jim Barclay and Billy Stone led
the distance men, followed by Tom
McQuade and Bill Thompson.
The backstroke lead was taken by
Louis Scheinman, with George Meyer
close behind. Lamar . Gudger and
Herb Langsam trailed them.
Fleming Stone continued at the
head of the sprint men, being follow
ed by Buzz Mitchell, Bill Peters, Whit
Lees and W. Hawley Funke.
Weather, Sick List
Hit Fencers Hard;
Pictures Today
Between the weather, the infirmary
list and sundried other undesirable
factors now plaguing these areas, the
fencing team is just about crippled
temporarily. Except for pictures this
afternoon, things have been and will
be quiet along the front.

Practice all week has been scarce

sick list has enticed many to its folds.
Dick Freudenheim, senior epeeist, is
still recuperating from his neck in

for unless word is surprisingly re
ceived from a team or two recently
contemplated for a meet here Satur

coast by this weekend with all rest and
no work, which will be an answer to
everyone's prayers.

McFadden Wants Lowdown;
Rolfe Writes Him A Letter
Banks McFadden
Clemson College
Clemson, S. C.
Dear Banks :
You do not comprehend the half of
it, to put the situation in formal lan
guage of three syllables, more or less.
Last Saturday night at the Duke gym
after the Blue Devils had slapped one
on Clemson's whiskers, you sprawled
all over the visitors' playing bench
and told a couple of photographers,
bystanders, Clemson old grads and
stray autograph seekers that basket
ball was fine business, just like foot
ball, only ' indoors.
Just about this time a tall, dark in
dividual wearing glasses came over
and shook hands with you, passed the
time of day and made all kinds of ges
tures in the general neighborhood of
the basket. Suddenly an idea hit you.
"When do you play North Caro
lina?" you asked him.
Well this baffled the fellow as it
naturally should. He goes to North
Carolina and he couldn't very well
be playing against the White Phan
toms without having every badge
wearer in the Southern conference
reach for the telegraph blank, the
smelling salts and the, rules. But he
figured a joke was a joke, and who
was he not to help carry one along?
So he said Tuesday.
"Good, I want you to write me a
letter and tell me how we can stop
this big center. Watch him, he's plenty
good."
Now this bewildered him even more
than usual and reeling about, he began
wondering if he was six other guys
named Joe. You see Banks, the gentle
man would have been glad to send you
the letter, only he is the tall center
from Carolina; name is George Gla
mack. George was pretty much put out
when you failed to recognize him. He
didn't know whether you were: (1)
Joking, (2) serious and what have you.
It may have been that George was
wearing glasses, a brown overcoat and
a red-plaid polka dot scarf and you
didn't know the guy, never having seen
him attired in anything but short

Frosh Cagers Continue Heavy Drills;
Lack Of Reserve Strength Is Worry
Convinced that the freshman bas
ketball squad is weak on defense after
seeing State score 51 points against
it Tuesday night, Coach Doc Sie
wert said yesterday that he would
consume the remainder of the "week
in brushing up on the Tar Babies'
defense.
Siewert admitted that the team
was on the up and coming, but that
it still has a long way to go be
fore it can win its share of ball
games.
The biggest worry Siewert has now
is to find five good substitutes. "I
only have five good men, and I
can't expect them to play every min
ute of the game," Siewert said. Fred
Moore and Reid Suggs, who didn't
start against State, after starting
every other game, returned to the
first string lineup in practice yester
day.

Both are expected to be ready by

WRESTLERS TAKE
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
If some interested bystander had
wandered into the Carolina wrestling)
room yesterday afternoon with the
great expectations of finding a Tar
Heel grapplering contigent taking a
workout, he would have been greatly
disappointment; for that matter he
would have wondered if Carolina did
have a wrestling team. Nobody, not
even Coach Chuck Quinlan, seems to
have an idea as to why only twenty
men have reported for practice in the
last two days when last week the
squad consisted of some 60 odd mat-
men.
' With the all important Southern
Conference meet with VMI coming
up in ten days, Quinlan is contem
plating getting a pack of bloodhounds
to trace down his freshman and var
sity wrestlers. If this doesn't work,
he threatens to use a dozen St. Ber
nards to rescue the absent Tar Heel
matmen, from Chapel Hill's numer
ous snow drifts.
MANY MISSING
Of course, such varsity and fresh
men grapplers as Don Torrey, Hobie
McKeever, Roge Weil, Johnny Staples,
and Pick Hamlin were present at
yesterday's session, but even then the
Quinlan hide-out looked more like a
haunted house than a wrestling room
Quinlan swears that if those members
of the freshman and varsity squads
who have been absent for the last
three days do not show up mighty
soon, they would have to forfeit their
right to wrestle in the trial fights for
the VMI meet. These fights come up
tomorrow and the beginning of next
week.
Steady conditioning work was the
order of the day for the twenty Quin
lanmen who saw action yesterday.
Don Torrey, unlimited, is particularly
in condition aerain. having rested a
sore shoulder for the past week. He
should be ready to go against the
cadets. Weil, who was suffering
from a tooth infection, is also seeing
action again.
of forward in the past two games,
and George McCachren, who has seen
much action at a guard post, were
shifted to the second team. These
two men form the nucleus of a sec
ond team which has Guy Byerly at
center and Bob Miller at the other
guard. Several men have been per
forming at the other forward, Dut
Sylvan Stein has been playing there
most.
NOT SATISFIED
Siewert isn't completely satisfied
with that combination and is shifting
men every day attempting to locate
a better one.

college here Saturday night in the
only sports event scheduled here dur

Davis And Cagle
Leave For Boston;
To Run Saturday
Jim Davis, co-captain of Carolina's
track team and holder of the South
ern conference mile record, will leave
Chapel Hill tonight for Boston where
he will run the Bishop Cherevou

Accompanying Davis will be Harold
Cagle, who has trained on the local
board track for the indoor season.
Cagle will run the Prout 600. Both
events are invitational.
Davis will meet a, formidable field
headed by John Borican, holder of the
world record in the 1,000 at 2:09.8.
Cagle holds the meet record in - the
Prout 600 at 1:12.6.
The K of C mile, which is bring

be climaxed with the Southern con
ference meet here February 24. In
between, Carolina will enter a two
mile relay team in the Millrose games

Gennett Returns
But Ifs Doubtful
He'll See Action
Tuesday's snow brought with it a
transportation problem to boxing
coach Mike Ronman, who is now hint
ing around to the athletic association
that a train, and not a bus, should be
used to take his fighters to Charlottes
ville Saturday.
Whether train or bus, freshman and
varsity boxers will leave sometime to
morrow afternoon. They meet Vir
ginia the following night in an ef
fort to break the long, dry spell of
Carolina defeats at the hands of the
Cavaliers.
Ronman said sadly that his squad
would not be at full strength. Though
Andy Gennett came for a light work
out after being in the infirmary over
a week, Billy Winstead and Red Sand
ers stayed away with bad colds. Al
Rose, suffering a slight ear injury, will
not fight. "He's got a little ear trouble,"
Ronman commented, "and I don't think
it's worth the chance to use him Sat

coach marveled over the progress 175
