Inexperienced Tar Heel Trackmen May Set
Record In Two Mile Relay in Millrose Games
Jim Vawter Runs
1,000-Yard Event
In Garden Tonight
NEW YORK, Jan. 31. Although
represented by a group of inexperienc
ed runners, North Carolina, twice
turner of its event in the last three
years, is looked to tomorrow night
for a possible new record in its ap-
pearaace in tne two-miie reiay in me
vnirose Games in Madison Square
Garde.
Although only one member of the
Tar Heel entourage has ever appear
ed on the Garden boards, track ex
perts have picked the Carolina relay
ists either to win handily or be easy
victims of veteran teams from Man
hattan, Princeton, Michigan or Yale.
Dave Morrison, whose half-mile race
here in 1939 was one of the most ad'
mirable of the meet because he main
tained a steady pace and overcame
those who passed him in the early
part of the race, is slated to run
anchor. Sophomore Dick Van Wag
oner will probably take the mark at
the start, but Coach Dale Ranson re
mained indefinite about his other
starters.
Five Men for Selections
Mike Wise, Henry Branch and
Johnny French are the Tar Heels from
among whom Coach Ranson must se
lect two to run the second and third
positions. Their times have been al
most alike in practice this month.
Jin Vawter, another Tar Heel, S
entered in the 1,000-yard run against a
field headed by John Borican, Elberon,
N. J, Negro star, and Gene Venzke,
former University of Pennsylvania
standout He ran on the Millrose team
that was third last year.
After the Tar Heels approached
the Millrose record so closely two
years ago, they were picked to bet
ter the record last year and have been
picked again tomorrow night. The
time of 7:48 is the third fastest two
mile relay ever run in the Millrose
event, the meet record being 7:44. The
world indoor record is 7 :41.6.
Improved Playing
Of Mary Hardwick
Features Net Tour
The fine, courageous play of Mary
Hardwick is probably the biggest
single feature of the current profes
sional tennis troupe which plays a se
ries of matches here at 8:15 Wednes
day, according to Al Ennis, publicity
director of the tour, who spent the
last weekend in Chapel Hill as the
guest of John Kenfield, Carolina's
genial head tennis coach.
"Mary is getting better every day,"
Ennis said. "She has had match point
on Alice Marble a couple of times only
to lose out in a hard fought match.
She beat Alice for the first time the
other night, and I believe she will be
winning more often during the com-i

STEVE FORREST and DON TORREY were elected co-captains of the
wrestling team for the 1941 season before the varsity and freshman
squads departed for Lexington to meet VMI.
Forrest and Torrey Selected
Mat Heads on Eve of VMI Meet
Both Are Lettermen
Of Two Years' Work
On Wrestling Team
Steve Forrest of Winston-Salem
and Don Torrey of Wynnewood, Pa.,
were elected co-captains of the wrestl
ing team at a meeting of lettermen
just before the varsity and freshman
squads left for contests today with
VMI. They succeed Walter Blackmer,
captain of the 1940 team that copped
Big Five honors.
Both are two-year lettermen, and
take over leadership of Carolina mat-
men just before their toughest matches
of the year against the co-champions
of the Southern conference.
Forrest and Torrey are matched
against some of the most dangerous
grapplers they will meet all season,
Forrest being pitted against VMI's
Captain Steve Swift at 175 pounds,
and Torrey drawing as his opponent
Ray Ruett, who decisioned him last
year.
Forrest "Handy Man"
Forrest has been the "handy man"
of Tar Heel wrestling squads through
out his three years of varsity service,
having been called on to fight in the
155-, 165-, or 175-pound divisions and
on occasion as much as 20 pounds above
his own weight. Under these circum
stances, his record of five victories,
nine losses and one draw is very impressive.
Torrey was considered one of Car
olina's most promising - prospects on
his arrival here as a freshman, and
opened his varsity career by defeat
ing Captain Ernest King of Virginia
Tech in a major upset. He has con
tinually drawn outstanding men as his
opponents including Charlie Hipp of
Davidson and Johnny Harrell of
Navy, to whom he lost at the begin
ning of this year. After beating Hipp
of Duke last weekend, he faces Ray
Ruett, who won ever him last winter.
VMI Strong
Carolina has dropped two succes
sive matches to VMI, losing in 1939
by 19-15 and last year by 22-to-See

Boxers Clash
With Middies
At Annapolis
ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 31. The Tar
Heel mittmen will seek their second
victory of the season tonight when
they meet the highly-rated Navy box
ing team.
Reputed to have their best aggrega
tion of ringmen in three years, the
Middies are favored to defeat the Car
olina team. For Navy it will be the
first match of the year. The Tar Heels
have had the experience of two meets
thus far, losing the first one to the
Techmen of VPI and gaining a glor
ious upset win over the Virginia ring
men. Feature of the evening will be the
heavyweight clash in which Navy's
John Hebron attempts to prove his
ring superiority over mighty Gates
Kimball. Hebron was unbeaten in four
tests last year and should be one of
the strongest opponents Gates will
have to face this season.

Tar Babies
Get Fifth
Win of Year
By Ben Snyder
Cadet T. Fiye was supposed to be
the prima donna of last night's fresh
man basketball game, but Carolina's
Ellis Freed man stole the show as the
(local first-year men started fast to
shade Oak Ridge Military academy,
50-39.
Their fifth victory in six starts, the
Tar Heels never looked better and led
by Freed man, who collected seven
beautiful field goals from set positions
the frosh were always in the van and
had no difficulty in coasting to victory.
Surging out in front from the open
ing whistle, the yearlings had 11
points before the crowd could find
their seats and before Frank Henry
made good on a field attempt from
way out to give the preppers their
first score.
In a wild scoring first quarter which
found the locals building up an 18-9
advantage, Don Wilson started what
turned out to be the evening's finest
defensive job holding T. Frye score
less for the first 16 minutes. It was
not until then that Frye cracked the
hoop for a twin-pointer and while he
was in the game Wilson stuck to the
Ridge sharpshooter like a coat of
paint.
There was nothing close about the
first half in any respect and by dint of
Lew Hayworth's personal contribu
tion of ten points and Wilson's three
field goals, the frosh boasted a 33-17
ead at intermission.
After the beginning of the second
period, the Cadets got organized and
it was nip and tuck up to the final gun.
The opposition began to shake Pete
Nelson loose and the tall center got
rolling with the first of his evening's
collection of five field goals. Yet, de
spite the Ridge rally, Freedman began
to drop those superb set shots with
amazing regularity and the opposition
could never begin to close the gap.
It was 48-31 at the end of the third
quarter and the substitutions started
to stream in from the Carolina bench.
In the last ten-minute period Frye did
his best to turn the tide and with the
aid of Norris Griff en and Jim Martin
the speedy one got his team together
to the extent that they outscored the
Baby reserves 8-2 in the final session.
Throughout the free scoring tilt,
the frosh utilized a fast break to good
advantage and were ever on the alert
for Oak Ridge miscues. As a unit, Sie
wert's club worked well together and
the first-string made a significant per
centage of field goals in relationship
to attempts made.
Jim White looked to be the most im

Take On Imps
In Duke Pool
By Harry HoOingsworta
The question of who has the best
freshman swimming team in the state
will probably be settled this after
noon when the Duke and Carolina
frosh tank teams clash in Durham a
3 o'clock in a meet that promises to
have as fast times as any varsity meet
in the state this season.
With both teams having been
tagged the best in the history of each
institution, the outcome is not only
difficult to tell but it is also difficult
to figure out on the basis of times
turned in by the performers earlier
in the season.
Even though it is highly improbable
that one can foretell the outcome o:
the meet by a comparison of times, it
All swimmers who are partici
pating in the meet today with the
Duke freshman team are requested
to eat at 11:30 and to meet in front
of the gymnasium at 12:30. The
team bus will leave at 12:45.

decision will rest on which team cap
tures the two relays.

William-Mary
In Close Tilt
Carolina and William and Mary
encers clash this afternoon at 1:30
in Woollen gym in a battle to deter
mine ,supermacy of the south. The
contest will be one of the closest of
the season.
William and Mary will enter the
meet as favorite on the strength of
last year's victory over the Tar Heels
as well as the fact that two veteran
three-weapon men, will be leading off
in foil, epee and sabre. Jerry Glass
man, Dave Meyer and Bill Grover will
fight in all three, while Glassman,
Meyer and Sam Bessman will be in
epee and sabre.

Floor Play
Of Tar Heels
By Leonard Lobred
George Glamack's amazing success
on his first five attempts at the basket
prompted the fans to plead for more
last night against Virginia Tech. But
his 20 points didn't represent as much
superlative effort as Jimmy Howard's
14 nor the showings of many others
of the Carolina squad while the White
Phantoms were trouncing Virginia
Tech, 60-to-35.
Glamack completed his first fire
hook shots and rolled up 10 points in
a brief five-minute period, but after
missing his next four in a row and
numerous shots thereafter slipped
back into the steady form that has
characterized his play all season.
Meanwhile other Phantoms took on
much of the scoring burden and en
joyed one evening in which they
gained considerable practice at pass
ing and defense.
Prelude to Next Week
Virginia Tech was held so easily the
first half that the half time count
showed Carolina with a lead of 34-12.
Perhaps the game was only a prelude
to a stiff afternoon of drills today in
preparation for next week, when the
University of Maryland plays here
Monday and Davidson Tuesday, offer
ing slightly tougher competition.
The names of the entire bench-full
of Carolina cagemen were registered
in the score-book before the comple
tion of the game, and were it not for
the baskets infrequently made by the
Virginia Techmen, the contest would
have been uninteresting to all. Three
men Rubin, Henderson and Mont
gomeryaccounted for eight points
apiece for the visitors, but their field
goals were never dangerous because
once the ball game really got started
the Techmen never got closer than 12
points.
Glamack on his hook shots and
Howard on his set shots meanwhile
racked up points regularly. When Bob
Rose or Joe Nelson or Hank Pessar or
Julian Smith couldn't move the ball in
to George, they shot. The Techmen
just couldn't cover the entire court all
at once.
Everybody Plays
Every one of the Phantoms played,
and only three of the five who went
into action with less than four min
utes of play remaining failed to tally.
Guy Byerly at center, Wray Lewis and
George McCachren at forward and Ed
Antolini and Bill Loock at guard kept
