Tar Heels Top Devils In Three Sports Duke's Gym Baptized Officially Last Night CHAPEL HILL, N. O, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1940 , FOUGHT GATES Straight Stuff r by BILL BEERMAN mmlv Car ports 9 TB L(E&(pII(B u- were o fortunate as to be , to Mr. Bill Bailey the ,v night on a dus oui oi ureens jr Bailey was returning to the campus from High Point, where fis currently courting the girl he erects to marry in April. I: will be recalled by sharper minds .v-t Bill Bailey is the All-Southern fctball star at Duke who was man oWh to get in the same ring with Gates Kimball- Interesting results followed. Eailey eased his 6-foot-four-inch anie into one of the Carolina Coach 'company's lush, velvety seats (sar casm) and stuck a finger in his nose, "tee, he said, "This is where Gates Judged me in the .second round." . neat cut,: not yet healed, was oh the undersurface of Bill's proboscis. The 225-pounder from Lexing ton continued. I believe I could have 'stayed three rounds with Kimball if I hadn't gotten excited. I left my self open, he cracked me on the jaw, 1 was dazed, and then he let me have it Gosh, whatta punch he's got." But Bill admitted that he didn't think he could have possibly licked Gates. "I wish him all the luck in the world in the conference tournament. " x r I'm sure hell win the heavyweight itle. He knows too much about box- leg and has too much power, to get teat." Eailey, while describing the golden hair of his lady friend and telling he 'tent $75 a month commuting between Durham and High Point, discoursed briefly on his own boxing career. "I fought in Lexington high school as a light-heavyweight,' he divulged lington. "Until I met Kimball, I had lost only one fight in my life." Mr. Bailey got "excited." This is likely to happen to any fighter who nixes with Gates, and is just a pre lude of bigger and better things to come. Seriously, Kimball meets cap able competition in the Columbia tournament today and tomorrow in Warren Wilson of Clemson and Dick Baxter of South Carolina. Both gentlemen are bruisers who know how to box. Still, since Kimball also knows how to box, well be loyal and stick by the old alma mater in picking a winner . Unless Clemson, Citadel, South Carolina and Maryland are excep tionally in the groove during the next 48 hours nd Carolina badly eff form the conference title should really be the Tar Heels' for the first time since 1929. Billy Winstead can defend his 120-pound crown efficient ly, Andy Gennett will spring an up set over Maryland's Nathan Askin at 135, Ed Dickerson wants the title he narrowly missed last year, Red Sanders is out for real blood, and there's always Gates Kimball. Also, Jack Johnston and Bob Farris will be wanting to make their first tourney a successful one.

After holding the Duke frosh to two points for the first half here tonight, the Carolina freshman basketball team coasted, except for the final two min utesof the game, to a; 27.23 win over the Blue Imps. The score at the half was 16-2. " .... , The Tar Babies guarded almost per fectly for the first half limiting Duke to a lone field goal and that came with only two minutes left in the half. The win gave the Babies a clean sweep of their two-game series with the Imps for the season, and they fin ished the season in top place in the Big Five freshman standing, having lost only one game. Duke never seriously threatened. The closest that they came to the Babies was in the final second of the game when Starke's field goal drifted through the basket as the gun sounded. They had previously pushed the score to 25-20, but Fred Moore's field goal lifted the Babies' total Joe Nelson and George Paine were the top performers for the frosh. Nel son led the night's scoring with 11 points, while Paine played one of the finest floor games that he has played. Nelson fouled out with 20 seconds re maining in the game. The Imp's big, gun, Larry Coyte, was nearly silent, although he did play a good floor game. Bill Wetmore, a tall, slim lad, took the honors for Duke with six points. The game started slowly and after six minutes of play Carolina had only a 6-0 lead. Moore, Kenfield, Paine and Nelson combined and made it 14-0, and then Wetmore scored the Blue Imps' lone points in the first half on a shot from the side court. The half ended a couple of minutes later with Carolina leading, 16-2. Duke came out strong at tne start of the second half and scored four goals in succession. Outscoring the Tar Babies 21-11, in the second half, Duke made up for its bad first half.

MIDNIGHT SHOW TONIGHT Large Crowd Expected To See Ilth Annual Indoor Carnival GLAMACK GETS 20 OF 24 POINTS BEFORE RETIRING (Continued from first page) best he has ever been in his two years of tremendous varsity play. He col lected 20 points although fouling out five minutes before the end, and when he left the Phantoms were holding to a 24-21 margin and all but four of the points had been contrib uted by Mr. Glamack. It was a great personal triumph for George and strengthened his posi tion as the top of the conference indi vidual, scoring race with 221 points. George has made 62 the last three contests against State, Clemson and Duke which is to be considered big league point gathering of the highest sort against any and all grades of competition. There is no telling what disastrous feat might have befallen the White Phantoms had not Mr. Glamack risen to the occasion as nobly as he did. The team had trouble getting started and it was up to George to personal ly unhitch it from the post and keep it in the race. He did the job very adequately to put it mildly. Duke hopped off to a two point lead after almost' five minutes of play when Bill Mock tap ped in a field goal. In came George with two fouls. George flipped in. a two pointer that sent the Phantoms ahead. They remained in the lead the rest of the way. except for a brief moment in the second half when Duke moved three points ahead but Glamack took ample are of the situation with two rapid field goals. It was George all through the first half. He sent Carolina ahead 4-2, made it 5-2 with a foul shot and 7-2 with a hook try. After that Duke limped home very dejected and pained and finished at half-time at the short end of an 11-8 count. But there was not an "all is lost" attitude around the Blue Devil camp.

A two-year veteran and only se nior on the squad-, Blackmer has fought both 136- and 145-pOund fights this season and come out with major successes, losing only to Washington and Lee's .Tommy Fuller. Up at An napolis last month, Blackmer saved the Tar Heel matmen from a shut out with, his inspiring fighting in the 136-pound spot. A transfer from Ap palachian State, Walt was ineligible his sophomore year, but came out for the varsity last season-' and ' . turned in a victory in the opening meet against VPI and went on to "fight in the rest of the contests with only two defeats to his '39 record. Coach Dick Jamerson Coach Dick Jamerson's Blue Dolphin swimmers, only two years old, yester day captured first place standing in the Southern conference by whipping Duke, 51-24. The coach was happy, the Dolphins were happy, so they dropped him in the pool in celebra tion. - TAR HEELS HEAD CONFERENCE FOES IN RING TOURNEY COLUMBIA, S. C, Feb- 22. Cap able college boxers from many South ern conference-schools arrived here early tonight by bus, train; and au tomobile as time drew near for the opening of the league's official fight tournament tomorrow afternoon. Coach Mike Ronman scheduled to make his first appearance on the ra dio tonight when conference digni taries have an airwave confab, brought under his wing the boxing squad which, won for Carolina its third consecutive state championship last Saturday by decisively doing away with Duke. . . Defending 120-pound champ Billy Winstead, only one of four Tar Heel finalists last season to win a crown, will weigh-in tomorrow mornincr with teammates J ohnny " Johnston, Andy Gennett; Ed Dickerson, Bob Farris, Eldon Sanders, and Gates Kimball. Kimball, one of the best conference heavyweights -since the league began holding tournaments 13 years ago, was a minor sensation-all by himself. Boxers of rival teams introduced themselves, admired his physique, and wished him luck. That is, all but the few heavyweights wished him, luck. The bigger fellows either began con templating the wisdom of a forfeit or considering the chances of getting away with plaster of paris in their gloves. Gates is the only one of Ronman's boxers to finish the season with six straight wins, two of which were for feited to him for reasons apparent. Dick Baxter, huge University of South Carolina fighter, is the only man expected to give Gates any concern whatsoever. Winstead, beaten once and drawn once this year, is rated an even chance to keep his title. Last year, twice defeated, the classy little boxer came back to decision every man his weight. The Appalachian " State Teachers college wrestling team -has won 54 straight matches. : iV.V.V.'.'.'.AV.'v.'.V.t '.'. ..'-'. ...:. --vw.-.:--.-.y .-..v.v:-.v. .

Iiniliuiiliiiiiii SWMilERS AMASS SECOND HIGHEST SCORE OF YEAR By LEONARD LOBRED Carolina's varsity mermen, tugging points away with almost surprising regularity, rolled up their second highest count of the year here yes terday, ' sent Duke home in complete rout," and took first place in the South ern conference standings. The score was 51-24. The Blue Dolphins, already hav ing taken five league victories, were but to get their sixth and especially wanted to make the Devils their fi nal victim, and they succeeded in a fashion that pleased even the most optimistic Tar' Heel supporter. They " Carolina's frosh swimmers meet Duke at Durham today to take their seventh straight win. They leave Woollen gym at 2:30. gave up four first places, two of them very close, but Duke failed completely to ' get any seconds at all. The Tar Heels meanwhile broke two Carolina records and equalled another. Only the Southern conference cham pionship meet remains to close the Carolina swimming season, and the Tar Heels will doubtless ener that meet, to be held here in Bowman Gray pool next week-end, favored to knock Clemson Duke and VMI out of the orie-two-three ranking they won last year. v The Dolphins , smothered Duke in a big way, outswimming the Blue Devils and overcoming the master minding of Duke's Coach Persons, and showed their enthusiasm at the finish by tossing their own Coach Dick Jamerson into the pool. Lou Scheinmah got" off to a very small lead in the 300-meter medley relay,1 the first event, Murray Drucker fell behind on the breaststroke leg, and Captain Ed Mueller made up six yards on his anchor 100 to put the Tar Heels in the lead at the start. Captain Dave Emmett of Duke then won the first of his two first places, going oufc very 'fast on his first 100 to beat Billy Stone and Buzz Mitchell in the 200, but Carolina was still ahead and moving fast. .
