Carolina will be depending upon the victory trio of Jack Eshelman, Den man Hammond and Ed Shumate to pace the Babies in their quest for their 20th consecutive win. All three have played prominent parts in the team's victories this season, and are ready to face the State team this- afternoon. - State, like Carolina and Duke, has gathered its top freshman team in years, and promises to be the toughest foe the Tar Babies will v swim this ." season. . - , Led by four men from the State champion Raleigh high school team of last year, the Baby Terrors will be the underdogs today for the first time Freshman swimmers are request ed to report to the pool this after noon at 3 :30. this season. Although the Tar Babies rate the role as favorites, their posi tion is very slim. Bob Reynolds and J. W. Bailey, sons of Norjh .Carolina's Senators in the United States "Con- gress, and Bryant and McCade, all of whom were members of the Ra leigh high school team last year, are leaders on the team. . .

Tar Heels traTel to Columbia, S. C.j where they will make their bid for the conference championship. Although Carolina boxing teams have failed to win the team title since 1929, they have usually, supplied more than their share " of individual champions. Two members of the pres ent team won crowns last year when Co-captain Red Sanders captured the 165-pound title and Bob Farris won in the 155-pound division. Farris will not defend his crown but will attempt to win the 145-pound championship, the weight at which he has' been fight ing thi3 seasonl . . Clemson's "Golden Boy" Wilson is making his last campaign in the in tercollegiate wars. .Last year Wilson won the heavyweight title, defeating Gates Kimball in the semi-finals in a match which some people claim was one of the biggest flukes in conference tourney. After graduation in June, Wilson plans to turn professional and become a potential challenger to Joe Louis' crown. According to the ex perts, the Clemson lad may "change lis mind" about tnrning to the pro fessional game if he runs up against Kimball in the tournament. Kimball is undefeated this season and is gun ning for another chance against the aspiring Wilson. Their meeting will e the highlight of the tourney and should produce more fireworks for one Wt than boxing fans have seen in many conference struggles.

Both hold victories over the margin between Carolina and Duke Meet with State Postponed A Week Because of the death of the father of Don Cox, co-captain of the State swimming team, the scheduled meet between Carolina and State varsity tank teams has been postponed un til either Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, Coach Dick Jamerson an nounced yesterday. The postponement of the meet re moved the last oportunity for the Dol phins to get any competition before the conference swimming tourney Fri day and Saturday in Blacksburg, Va. The meet today would have decided the wearer of the conference crown, since' the tourney will decide' only in dividual winners and not a team cham pion, according to present plans. Glamack Seeks National Record 'George Glamack, Carolina's All American center, who is gunning for a national scoring record, fin ished the regular season, according to a check yesterday with 438 points for 21 college games and 528 points if four practice games are included. The 6-foot 5-inch skyscraper, who is almost blind in one eye and shoots largely by position and mem ory, wil lead the Tar Heels into the Southern conference Tourna ment, and if he equalled his 62 point mark for the event n 1940, he would have totals of 500 and 590. Stutz Modelewski of Rhode Is land State led the intercollegiate scoring for 1940 with 509 points, but is far behind his record this year.' However, Ken Griffith of lit tle Alderson Broaddus College in Phillippi, W. Vascored 294 points in his first 13 games and still had 11 games to go at the last report.

Gardiner, Morrison, 1 Mengel, Mangum, and Wise Led Tar Heels Adrian Lee Wise of Charlotte and Carlyle Thomas Mangum of Winston Salem, both of whom are known as "Mike," were the Monday heroes of the Carolina track team following its victory over Duke Saturday night in the Southern Conference Indoor Games. This pair of Mikes, Wise a junior and Mangum only a sophomore, shar ed top honors for Carolina with two Daves Gardiner and Morrison and Warren Mengel, who accounted for outstanding performances in each of their efforts. Morrison took first in the 880, according to pre-meet ex pectations, and Gardiner for the sec ond year in a row displayed tremend ous ability in the jumps and hurdles. Wisef besides placing second in the 440 behind Duke's Werner Brown, took i a if 1 1 fT'-.i Games Tonight Decide State's Cage Champs One of the best championship pro grams in the history of the state's high . school basketball is expected in Woollen gym tonight when six teams scrap it out for the Class A, B, and C titles.. " This tripleheader will get under way at 7:30 with Cary and Hanes playing for the Class B crown. One hour later Durham and High Point will take the floor in the title-settling Class A game, and at 9:30 Green Hope and Stanley will clash for the Class C championship. The three contests match a fine ar ray of high scoring artists. In the Class A game Durham's Gordon Carver and Bill Gattis, sharp-shooters, will be matched with- "Abie" Short and Jack Preston, High Point's two point-making aces. Doug Holleman and Dillard of Cary and Bill Sheets and Jim Long of Hanes are likely to vie for high scoring honors in the Class B game. Green Hope's Junius Glover and Billy Ennis and Stanley's Ned Cannon and Jack McGinnis head the point-makers in the Class C feature. Two champions will be back to de fend titles. Durham, Class A, and Green Hope, Class C, won titles here last winter. Walnut Cove, State Class B champion in 1940, was eliminated in district play this season thus vacating the "B" championship. Chief interest is centered on the Durham-High Point game. The con test will be the rubber meeting be tween the teams, with each having won on its home court. Free-scoring, 'nip-and-tuck games loom in all three divisions with the outcome probably in doubt almost to the final whistle. .

Holding this ad vantage, it was comparatively easy for Billy Groves to increase that lead, Roy Cathey and Dave Morrison, when other runners had to travel at terrific pace to catch them, to maintain a steady pace and pull away on the back stretch and increase their mar gin of victory. Wise has been called "Little Hot" since he was a freshman, when he was outstanding in cross country and Track workouts have been sus pended until tomorrow, when prac tice will begin again in the Tin Can. the half-mile. Now captain-elect of the harriers for next fall, he seems set for a future of quarter-miling on the board and- cinder tracks. He wasn't far behind Brown in the 440 final. Mangum turned in no last-minute meet - saving efforts, but as a sopho more performed pleasantly well. With Moffat Storer of Duke he was the only second-year man who won a first place, and added to this accomplish ment by later taking a third place and raising his point total to seven to tie for third for meet scoring honors. To win the 70-yard high hurdles, he defeated Warren Mengel, who also accounted for seven points, and Dave Gardiner of Carolina, and Archie Tay lor of Davidson. ' His victory over Taylor brings to light a typical teacher-pupil story. Taylor gave Mangum his first in struction in how to hurdle while both were in high school in Winston Salem.

Tournament Draw Carolina- 9:30 Thursday Duke- Semi-final 9:30 Friday Wake Forest- 4:30 Thursday William and Mary- South Carolina- 3:00 Thursday Richmond - Semi-final 8:00 Friday Washington and Lee, 8 :00 Thursday -VMI Tournament Draw Should Aid White Phantoms in Title Biii By Leonard Lobred On the spot more than at any other time this winter, Carolina's White Phan toms took time off yesterday in preparing for the Southern conference tourna ment Thursday night when they oppose Duke's Blue Devils in the opening round. ' The tournament draw, announced Sunday with Carolina facing Duke, Wake Forest-William and Mary, South Carolina-Richmond, and .Washington and Lee-VMI, was to the convenience of the White Phantoms, but was in itself a poor method of determining a cham pion. The Phantoms will be on the spot from the start, going up against the Blue Devils in the rubber match of their series. When they met Duke in the finals, last year in their rubber match,' the Phantoms won, and this 1941 crew is supposedly one of the finest in the nation. If they lack ag gressiveness again, though, as . they did in their 35-33 setback at the Dur ham indoor stadium, the Tar Heel basketballers will find themselves left behind. . Most followers are expecting Caro lina to trounce Duke in this meeting, but" after Duke will come the winner of the Wake Forest-William and Mary contest. The Indians are champions of Virginia, while Wake Forest is strong enough to' give any team much trouble. Concensus of opinion . is thai; Carolina will face Wake Forest and W&L will play Richmond in the semi finals Friday night, with Carolina squaring off with W&L in the finals. , Tournament , officials, when they made up the draw, might as well have ordered the champions of North Caro lina, South Carolina and Virginia to play each other for the title, for this is the situation at present. Carolina, Duke and Wake Forest all in the top bracket cannot help but eliminate each other. W&L, loser only to Duke once and Carolina twice, will then meet either Richmond, another Vir ginia team, or South Carolina, the only quint representing the Palmetto state. Carolina is accustomed to drawing tough - opponents in the first-round. In 1939, the Phantoms met Clemson in the opening round, and while los ing, 44-43, gave the Tigers their clos est battle of the tournament.

BUENVIDOS SUD AMERICANOS ae , Greatly Tar Heels Lead Southern Loop In All Sports The Tar Heels of the University cf North Carolina have become the boys to beat in all four of the Southera conference tournaments scheduled this weekend in basketball at Raleigh, swimming at Blacksburg, boxic at Columbia, and wrestling; at j College park, Md. - ; . ": . x V;v-. By defeating State college in their meet postponed for a week, the BJue Dolnhins will win the, eonferenca swimming title with a perfect season in loop competition, and even should they- lose, the Dolphins will tie with State and Duke on a percentage basis. The conference swimming, tournament no longer decides the championship team, but. only the individual titlists, and Carolina is expected to dominate this competition as well, with possible champions in all but three events. Dolphins Rated Highest The Dolphins lost a close meet to Navy, but have beaten Virginia and Georgia Tech in non-conference matches, and William and Mary, VMI, Washington and Lee, and Duke in the conference.' With only the State meet remaining, the swimming team has the best chance of any University team to win. . The White Phantoms will have to dispose of Duke's "Blue Devils in the first round of the tournament if they are to go through the finals and re capture the crown everyone conceded them at the opening of this campaign. With both teams still having their most recent engagement well in mind, the game will probably be the most hotly-contested of this winter. . Were there no conference meet in wrestling this year, the Carolina grapplers would already have won the conference title. They tied VMI, one of the co-champions, and defeated Washington and Lee, the other co champ, for the nrst time since 1929, in addition to Duke, Davidson and State. Coach Chuck Quinlan's matmen have a perfect record and would share the league crown with VMI had not a conference tourney been scheduled for the first time in several years. The Tar Heels have several men who may go through the finals. Carolina boxing teams have entered every, tournament for the ; past few seasons with an outside . chance of winning, and this year js no exception. With two defending champions and a team consisting almost ; entirely of seniors, Coach Mike Ronman has one of . his most potent squads. Virginia Tech,' tutored by Jules Medwin, Ron- man's former pupil here at Carolina, is favored along with Maryland, The Citadel and Carolina. Although they lost conference engagements to Vir ginia Tech and Maryland and topped Citadel, the boxers upset such power ful ring teams as Virginia and Penn State. ' Scores were close in all matches.
