Glenn thinks there is much cause for alarm over the penetration of Fifth Columnists in South America. There is no question about it," he says. The Germans are waging an intensive propaganda campaign, have been at it for some years. I know be cause I have conducted a number of confidential investigations. They have in their diplomatic corps, for instance, twice as many persons as they actual ly need. The Italians and other nationalities are not so bad about Fifth Column ac tivities." ne said, inere s a reason for the difference most of the Ital ians left home because they were dis satisfied and don't want to go back.

(Continued from page three) Hughes, who missed the Virginia bouts because of influenza. Hughes has shown a marked improvement dur ing this week's practice sessions and Coach Ronman is confident of his abil ity to come through with a victory over Navy's Murray Yager. Co-captain Andy Gennett will han dle the 127-pound assignment for the Tar Heels, meeting the Middies' vet eran Bab Martin. If Andy can show the form that earned him a decisive win against his Virginia opponent last week, he is almost certain to contrib ute a point for Carolina. In the 135-pound bout, Milt Harris will match gloves with Dick O'Brien. Because of points lost on fouls, Har ris dropped a decision last week. Not withstanding this loss, Harris "fought one of the beet fights of his career and will be out to prove his ability in his match with O'Brien. Farris-Marion Battle Feature Conference champ Bog Farris will have a tough nut to crack when he faces Navy's star 145-pounder, Jim Marion. Marion hasn't lost a fight in three years and was picked by Coach Spike Webb for the all-time all- Navy team. Appearing for the first time this season against the Cavaliers, - , , .. .

FROSH BASKETBALL (Continued from page three) proved man on the floor and with Sim mons Andrews more than holding his own under both the defensive and of fensive backboards, the freshmen may be expected to give a good account of themselves in their big test next Fn dav against the undefeated Duke w frosh. FROSH SWIMMING (Continued from page three) events while Carolina is conceded slight advantage in the diving. And because the winner will prob ably be the victor in the relays, Coach Ralph Casey of the Carolina freshmen has changed his lineup in order to get the most power in the relays. Jack Eshelman, No. 1 sprinter, will not perform in the 50-yard freestyle in order that he may be used in the 100-yard event, the medley and free style relays. Gregory Schultz, diver, and Denman Hammond, Ed Shumate and Eshelman form the 200-yard freestyle relay team which has already bettered unof ficially the University freshman mark of 1:47.1. The quartet has covered the distance in 1:43.5. The male-female ratio at the Uni versity is revolting. Likewise, the 150-yard medley team of Eshelman, Hammond and Shumate has bettered unofficially the Univer sity freshman record for the distance with a 1 :24 performance. The mark is 1:30.2. Duke will be paced in today's meet by Johnny Shaw, former Oak Ridge swimmer who caused the last year's frosh much anguish in the 1940 meet. Shaw has been clocked at 23.8 in the 50-yard freestyle and at 54.2 in the 100-yard event. Bill Shuman,? middle distance swimmer, has been timed in 2:22.5 in the 220-yard freestyle event. Faced with the prospects of match ing strokes with those two top-notch performers and many more just as good, the freshman team appears set for its toughest afternoon of the year. The meet will be the 16th dual meet that the Carolina freshmen have had since swimming was started three years ago, and the team will be seek ing its 15th dual tilt victory. Carolina's lineup will be: 50-yard freestyle Shumate, Pilling; 100-yard freestyle Eshelman, Lippman; 220- WRESTLING (Continued from page three) Ihi. Now, in addition to 175-pounder Swift and Heavyweight Ruett, the Cadets have another grappler Car ter Beamer, undefeated in 1940 at 165 pounds who won his match over his Tar Heel opponent. Probable starters for Carolina list Walter Lambeth at 121-pounds, Hobie McKeever at 128, Charlie Tillett at 135, Gordon DeLoach at 145, Roger Weil at 155, Sam Gregory at 165, Forrest at 175, and Torrey in the un limited class. Some hope of victory is enjoyed by the Tar Heels because in the past two seasons their freshman teams have licked the Cadets. Charlie Tillett cap tained the freshmen who won over VMI two seasons ago, and Hobie Mc- Keever led the Tar Baby team that scored, 15-to-12, last year. Tillett was joined by Gregory and Weil m 1939, and McKeever's class included Bill Somervell, who made the trip but probably will be replaced with Gor don DeLoach.

The sabre team, which supplies the major share of action and thrills, will have five starters: Lome Payne, Bob Harrington, Larry Hutton, Tom Vance and Hank Smernoff, who will fight in that order.
