BEERMAN Carolina's 1940 boxing team, : fav ored to cop the Southern conference championship at Columbia next week, is out to annex its third straight Big Five title tonight in a ring battle with Duke. Freshmen, in a prelimi nary .meet at 7:15 in Woollen gym nasium can get a tie for Little Five honors by blasting . Blue Devil frosh. The meet is the last of the year for all concerned, other than the final big" show in the conference tourna ment. Maryland, current conference champion, was throughly licked by the Tar Heels last Friday and con sequently Mike Ronman's fourth Uni versity boxing team is out in front among leading contenders for the crown. CLOSE WIN Duke won over State in a close meet, while 'Carolina took the Terrors 6-1. The State championship, al ways a three-cornered affair in box ing, belongs to tonight's winner. State frosh fighters tied Duke, beat Caro lina, so a win for University fresh men over Duke puts theLittie Five title ina tie. " '' . . . .' Co-Captains Billy Winstead and Ed Dickerson close out three years jof dual boxing against Duke opponents. Winstead, conference 120-pound champ, meets Dan Brandon in the opening bout of the evening. Dicker son fights a 145-pound battle with Tom Latimer, a rugged newcomer. , UNCERTAINTY j Nothing definite is yet known con cerning the heavyweight class, but, a decision will probably be made at 1:30 this afternoon, when the two teaitts weigh-in. Gates Kimball,., certainly the imest heavyweight-boxer in the conference and a probable contestant in the national intercollegiate tourna ment this spring, is supposed to meet Frank Ribar, an excellent football player like Kimball but not as ex perienced boxer. Bob Eldridge, reg ular Duke heavy, injured his hand several weeks ago and Ribar took his place. Ronman hinted he might possibly use Chuck Slagle if Duke didn't want to fight against Gates. Several other hot scraps are due to be fought. Andy Gennett, loser in his second fight at 135 last week, is out for a comeback against Phil Mit chell. Gennett is biding his time until the conference meet, wanting another crack at Maryland's Nathan Askin Faison "Shanghai" Jordan, prob ably the Blue Devil's best boxer, goes in the ring with sophomore Johnny Johnston, who isn't exactly slouchy himself. Johnston has proved him self a capable fighter, and has an ex cellent chance of beating Jordan.. BUT NO COLD FEET Red Sanders, nursing another of his many colds, fights a fellow named Kirkman in the 165-pound weight, (Continued on page 2, column 5) Cheer Up, Students Of Bibical Days Didn't Pass Either Students of the Biblical, era had a tough time of it also. Note the ob- stacles they had to overcome which were such harrowing hazards as to rate their being recorded in the Good Book. "Thou shalt not pass" (Numbers 20:18) has been preserved to this day, which is probably not news. Narrow ing the field down slightly, "The wicked shall pass no more" (Numbers 1;15), confines itself to a majority, but at least the minority has a chance. That margin is erased, however, with this discouraging epithet, "None shall pass" (Isaiah 34:10). . Brightening the future somewhat and giving posterity a chance at any rate, Mark 13:30 comes through with "This generation shall not pass." Coeds get. a break though "Neither any son of man shall pass" (Jeremiah 51:43). Here's one that settles the nature of the obstacle to promotion explicit ly, accurately "No man shall pass through because of the beasts" (Eze kiel 15:15). And, anticipating opposi tion, the biblical pedagogues coined this decisive nifty, "Though they roar, they shall not pass" (Jeremiah 5:22).

Mid-Winter Dance Set Closes ERNEST KING IS ELECTED TO HEAD TOWN BOYS CLUB Boemanns, Williams, Lubmann Are Chosen As Other Officers Ernest King, University senior from Troy, was elected president of the new Town Boys club at its organ izational meeting Thursday night at 10 o'clock in Gerrard hall. . The group also elected Herman Boemanns vice president, Lewis Wil liams secretary, and Seymour Lub mann treasurer. In his keynote speech, Lewis Wil liams, who called the meeting, said, "The new deal in 1932 pointed out the forgotten man in the nation, but the forgotten man on this campus is still forgotten the town student. Approximately one third of the stu dent body of the University lives in town, they are capable of making themselves heard from the library to Graham Memorial and from the lower quadrangle to fraternity row. "We have to organize to take our rightful place on the campus to com pete in intramural athletics, to hold social events of our own and to choose our own representation in student government." A vote of thanks was given by the group to Williams for calling the convention. The date for the next meeting was set for Monday at 10 o'clock in Gerrard. Fred Edney made a motion that the new group choose someone to fill the vacancy in the Student legislature left by the dropping of one of the town representatives.
