Coach Bonman's face took on a wor ried look yesterday as he sent the mitt men through sparring matches. The anxious expression was not due to his men's performances, who have been showing up well in drills this week; rather it was because of the profound respect Ronman holds for the Middies' ringmen. Always strong, the Sailors this year are reputed to have their rfroxsrest team in years. In view of this report, the coach claims he is not 1r Varsity boxers are asked to re port today at the boxing room at 3:30. being pessimistic when he says the test he is hoping for is a draw. Coach Counting on Hughes One hundred and twenty-pounder Tom Hughes continued to shine in yesterday's drill and looks more im pressive every day. Gaining confi dence, Hughes has shown a potent right-hand which hitherto has been unknown in bis fighting. "With this im provement, Coach Konman is looking to Hughes to earn a point for the Tar Heels tomorrow night. In an outstanding sparring bout, Jack Johnston matched blow for blow with Hilt Harris, the regular 135 po under. A member of last year's var sity, Johnston has been giving a good account of himself of late and is pressing keenly for Harris berth. Eonman will use the same eight men that fought against Virginia, whh the exception of Grady Britt. Probable linenup for the Midship men will be: Murray Vager, 120; Bob Martin, 127; Dick O'Brien, 135; Buzzy Eetzel, 145; Bill Peterson, 165; Bill Chip, 173: John Hebron, heavyweight. f , 1 ' MiWJU. VETERAN MIKE BOBBITT will have a tough battle on his hands when the Tar Heels meet the Mid shipmen at Annapolis Saturday night. The "Mighty Mike" meets Navy's Bill Chip in the 175-pound feature. Cinder Team In New York Whenever any trackmen appear on the Madison Square Garden track. they are matched against the best opposition in the country. Carolina has always found top-notchers as its opponents whenever two-mile relay- ists go to the mark and this year's games are no exception. Princeton, Manhattan, Yale and Michigan complete the field along with the Tar Heels, presenting two mile teams that have been proven the best in the East and Midwest.

Tapering off exercises and several last minute trial bouts occupied the time of the matmen yesterday after noon. Bill Somervell and Gordon De- Loach, waging a strong battle all year for the 145-pound slot, took the mat during the afternoon, with DeLoach coming off with a slight margin. In the 165-pound class, Sam Gregory and Winston Broadfoot, both letter men, fought, and these two, with Steve Forrest, will divide the duties in the 165- and 175-pound divisions Saturday. McKeever Has Best Record In the light weight class, both Ham lin and Lambeth will make the trip. Lambeth fought against Duke last week, and turned in a fine perform ance, while Hamlin, although drop ping the decision to Navy, neverthe less made an impressive showing. It will be a toss up between the two to determine who will face the cadets. Hobie McKeever, with the best xec- ord on the team, having amassed a total of 15 points for the Tar Heels, will be in the 128-pound position for Carolina. Tfllett Wffl Fight Charlie Tillett, who has shown great improvement since his opening defeat at the hands of Davidson, will fight at . 136 pounds. Roger Weil, bothered all week with a cut over his eye, will undoubtedly De ready to oc cupy his regular 155 pound spot. Don Torrey will be in the unlimited divi sion.

At Gates Farm, 2 miles west of Chapel Hill on Greensboro Road. We Use Plymouth Cars Exclusively Hell Drivers cars on display Monday at POE AND MAILGUM DeSoto & Plymouth Dealers Tilden Still Tops In Exhibitions With Top-notcher Donald Budge, world tennis ruler, who meets Big Bill Tilden here Wednesday in one of three feature matches, has perhaps the best com bination record in amateur and pro competition of any athlete in any sport today. During the past two years Budge has retained the world's professional singles championship against such tennis brilliants as Ellsworth Vines, Big Bill Tilden, and Fred Perry. Be fore turning pro he was the acknowl edged amateur champion. Star of Davis Cup Matches Budge's performance in Davis Cup competition in 1937 and 1938 was amazing. He won 10 consecutive singles matches without a defeat and teamed with Gene Mako to win four of five doubles matches. Included in the string of triumphs were four singles vie tories over Australian opponents and two each over foes from England, Japan and Germany. Budge's victories made it possible for the United States to win the Davis Cup championship in both years. Other amateur championships won by Budge included the U. S. singles title in 1937-38, U. S. doubles cham pionship (with Gene Mako) in 1936-37 38, U. S. mixed doubles championship (with Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan) in 1937, and (with Alice Marble) in 1938, I British singles championship 1937-38, French singles title in 1938. Tilden Still Tops On this current tour, during which the troupe is playing in 65 cities and towns in 36 states, Budge is still dis playing the brilliant tennis that enables him to retain the title of world's lead ing player. But the red-head is having his hands full with the amazing 47-year-old Tilden, who -is still regarded a formidable opponent for him. A near-capacity crowd is expected for the three matches which get under way at 8:15 in Woollen gymnasium. Alice Marble, the world's leading wom an player, meets Mary Hardwick, English champion in the first singles match, and Budge and Tilden clash in the second singles contest. When the Tar Heel Baby Dolphins swim Duke's Blue Imps tomorrow afternoon in Durham, one of the many dependables performing for the Tar Babies will be Gregory Schultz, diver and freestyler. The Tar Heel swimming team has little to fear in the way of divers dur ing the next four years, for Schultz will probably be able to carry on in the same convincing way in which Don Nicholson and Johnny Feuchtenberger, varsity divers, have already demon strated. Tagged as the most likely looking prospect in the diving event that Carolina has had, Schultz has worked hard since the start of swimming and now ranks as the No. 1 diver and the fourth best freestyler on the frosh team. Casey Likes Him His coach, Ralph Casey, goes even further than calling him the best prospect ever to come here and says that he is the best diver he has ever. coached. Casey considers him superior to Buddy Crone, high school youth of Goldsboro, who placed sixth in the Na tional junior diving event last sum mer. He bases his statement on Schultz's ability to get more height in his dives than Crone. Plenty of height is a primary requisite for a well executed dive. Two other diving abilities , of Schultz's are also most helpful in aid ing him to execute properly the dif ficult dives he accomplishes. Layout Dives Good His layout dives are considered to be among his chief aids in securing a high score in a meet, and his hurdle step, the last step a diver takes before leaving the board, is tops. Like nearly all divers, his optional dives are his chief weakness, but they have improved in the past several days and he promises to develop into a sunerior diver before he leaves Carolina. Schultz attended high school at Ross high school in Fremont, Ohio, before coming to Carolina, and was a standout on the high school tank squad. He placed third in the diving event m the Ohio interscholastic meet last sum mer. A teammate of his captured first place and later on in the summer he defeated the Ohio high school cham pion. Against Duke tomorrow Schultz will do double work when he will swim on the freestyle relay team and also handle the diving event for the Tar Babies.

The freshman basketball team, seemingly on the upswing since their surprising defeat at the hands of State college last week, will take the floor tonight at 7 o'clock against Oak Ridge Military academy, one of the strongest fives in the Carolina Junior college league. The preppers, led by explosive "Tee" Frye almost assuredly Carolina's outstanding interscholastic competi tor in basketball, send a well-rounded quint against the Tar Babies in that the Cadets have both size and speed around which to build their attack. Well-Rounded Team Frye, although the springboard of the Ridge offense, works along with several taller teammates to utilize both a fast break and set formations to good advantage. Nelson and Young, center and right forward respectively, are both experienced in the Oak Ridge style of play and figured prominently in the Ridgers last triumph, a win over Belmont Abbey 50-41. Tar Babies Prepared The frosh participated in a light workout yesterday afternoon, which included a bit of spirited half court scrimmage, and will take the floor with the same line-up that has started the past three games. Don Wilson and Jim White will be holding down the S forward posts, with Simmons Andrews at center and Ellis Freedman and Lew Hayworth at the guards, while Phil Clay and Roger Smith in the fore court, Dick McElroy at the pivot and Joe Hicks, Milt Romary and Bob Quincy at the guards will comprise the reserve squad most likely to see ac tion. Marshall Chambers, injured Baby forward who yesterday participated in his second workout since the first Wake Forest game, will not be ready for play, but should come along to the extent that he will be available for service against the Duke frosh next Friday night. A Virginia Tech quint composed two seniors and three sophomores, winner of only two games this winter, plays Carolina's White Phantoms in 1 Woollen gymnasium tonight at S:20, following a freshman srame with Oak Ridge. Although the Tech men have lost all four starts against collegiate op position, they are supposedly rising in potentialities, especially after their last start against Washington and Lee. The Generals whipped Virginia Tech, 41-29, the first time out, and were held to 37-30 in the Techmen's last game. Three sophomores have shown enough ability to push Captain Keith Haff, forward, off the starting five. Julius Rubin, Guy Crawford and Frank Montgomery are leading the scoring on the squad, with Center Tom Ingram trailing. Rubin has 70" points, Crawford 60, Montgomery 58, and In gram 48. Phantoms Look Good The Phantoms showed enough spirit and excellence yesterday in practice, after a day of rest, to threaten serious ly. After an active scrimmage in which all of the Phantoms took part, the entire group was recovered enough to play tonight. Hank Pessar, whose defensive work on Wake Forest's Herb Cline last Tuesday was a highlight of Carolina's showing, appeared slated for contin ued starting assignments and George Paine, sophomore, seemed ready for more action. Ed Shytle also looked particularly good. Nelson and Severin Ready Joe Nelson, sophomore forward,. took part in practice and is ready to return to the line-up. Paul Severin, although still slightly affected by a serious cold, is able to play but not too much. Virginia Tech opened its season by topping Langley Field, 42-41, in its first engagement, but lost to Navy Training, 39-38, Navy Apprentice, 41-39, and topped Navy Training again, 67-38. William and Mary beat Tech, 54-51, W&L did it, 41-29, Virginia did it, 49-35, and W&L again 37-30. Swordsmen Ready For W&M Match Carolina's undefeated fencing team meets the William and Mary swords men tomorrow in a match which will decide the supremacy of the South. The winner of this match will enter the South Atlantic Tournament as the favorite. William and Mary has been turn ing out top-notch fencing teams for several years. The present team boasts two veterans leading the at- All freshman and varsity fencers will be required to attend a meet ing in the Tin Can at 5:45 this afternoon. tack against the Tar Heels in an at tempt to bring about the Carolina swordsmen's first defeat. Jerry Glass- man and Dave Meyer, co-captains, were both .members of last year's team which scored a 19-8 victory over the Carolina squad. Glassman looked like an "army tank" plowing through the enemy when he tramped over the entire Tar Heel foils team without a setback.' Duke Blows Four-Point Lead, Loses To State College, 37-36 Ahead At Half, Blue Devils Miss Scoring: Chances DURHAM, Jan. 30 Ahead by one point at halftime, Duke university's basketball team collapsed in the late minutes tonight and lost to N. C. State college, 37-36. Duke had its big opportunity in the last minutes when State began to freeze the ball with two minutes and 15 seconds of play remaining. The Blue Devils missed on two chances to tie or go ahead. First, Eddie Shokes missed a free throw, and then when a jump ball was called, Duke took time out to figure out a play. On the toss-up, under the State! basket, Chuck Holley batted the ball down to the Duke goal, Cy Valasek broke ahead of all the Red Terrors and with an easy shot at the basket, muffed a lay-up shot. State recovered the ball off the backboard and could hardly move to the center line when the gun ended the game. Duke went almost five minutes be fore breaking into the scoring, and slowly moved the count to 20-19 at the half. Bill Mock fouled out before the end of the half, and Holley had three personal fouls in the first period. In the entire game State had three men working under the burden of three personals, with a total of 30 being called during the evening, but only Mock was evicted. - Laneeford Dance Saturday $1.00.
