INTELLECTUAL PURSUITS occupy George Glamack, Carolina's All-American basketball center, as he re
laxed before tackling Duke last night in the crucial game of the Southern Conference basketball tournament.
It's nothing for the Student council to worry about just friendly game of bridge between George, right, Dick
White, left, and Hank Pessar, center. The ill-fated meeting with the Blue Devils last night causes George's
basketball career at Carolina to be cut short, for that was his last game he will play for the University. Coach
Bill Lange rates Glamack as Vthe greatest player I have seen in 25 years of coaching and playing."

NOW IT'S LITERATURE as George tries to get his six-foot-five frame
into his six-foot-four bed. Note glasses, which the Blind Bomber has de
clined to use while scoring more than 500 points this season. A special
pair of "contact glasses" to be used under the eye-lids were made in Eu
rope for the basketball giant but due to their misfit, George has not used
them much this year. Obviously he doesn't; need them.

Carolina Is
Glamack Gets
By Leonard Lobred
MEMORIAL STADIUM, Raleigh, Feb. 27 For the fourth time
this year and the second time in tournament play, Carolina's White
Phantoms lost by one point when Duke's Blue Devil cagers to
night scored a 38-37 victory. By eliminating the defending cham
pions from the race, Duke established themselves as favorites to
cop the Southern conference basketball championship..
Duke's well-deserved upset victory marked the second first
round defeat suffered by Carolina in two years. It was only in
1939 that Clemson, led by Bonnie Banks McFadden, bumped off
Carolina, 44-43, in the opening round and went on to win the title.
It was also the Phantoms' fourth setback by one point this year,

the facilities of WRAL and the Mu
tual Broadcasting System will carry
a series of American Folk Plays pro
duced in the campus radio studio by
the Carolina Playmakers of the Air
starting Saturday, March 8, the studio
announced yesterday.
Mainly through the efforts of - Dr.
Ralph W. McDonald, head of "the
Tradio extensioniivision, the group re
ceived an offer from Mr. A. J. Fletcher
of WRAL in January of last year to
produce a series of plays on a na
tional hookup.
They had only a month to prepare
the series last year and consequently
no program was issued. Earl Wynn,
director of the radio series, explained
that knowing in advance that a similar
offer would be made this year, his
department has been preparing since
last fall. Nearly 18 plays were sub
mitted by students and members of
the community and the worthiest of
these plays were given experimental
production, revised and recorded. The
best of these plays have been selected
to be produced over the Mutual sys
tem. The casts will be chosen from
nearly 60 student authors and actors
who have demonstrated their ability
in the experimental productions.
"In Time, In. Space" by Joseph
Feldman, holder of a Rockefeller fel
lowship in the Movie division of the
Dramatic Art department, will be the
first play produced over the nation
wide hookup. Robert Bowers will di
rect this production.
All of the plays to be produced in
this series have been written this year
especially for radio production, ex
cept the old Playmaker favorite
"Cloey" by Loretta Carrol Bailey.
House Passes Appropriation
For Fortification of Guam
By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 The House today approved and sent to the Senate
a $1,533,000,000 appropriation to bulwark the nation's domestic and overseas
defenses, including "passive fortification" at Guam.
It was the first time the House had
at Guam tiny Pacific island in the midst of a group of Japanese-mandated
islands. Congress twice previously had rejected similar proposals lor lear 01
offending Japan. -
Action today came as tension in the Far Eastern situation increased.
The measure was approved by voice vote after rejection of an amendment
which would have banned closed shop on rearmament projects financed by
funds in the bill. The amendment was offered by Represetative Howard W.
Smith, Democrat of Virginia. It was his second attempt in recent weeks to
writs such a proposal into an appropriations bill.. It was defeated 81 to 11.
The legislation fourth supplemental military measure under the 1941
budget carries funds for the army to speed construction of its vast canton
ment program and for the navy to speed construction at Atlantic base sites
acquired from Great Britain and on the Pacific island of Samoa, as welLas
Guam. r ' ' -.-,-; ' . .y ,
... Of the funds allotted to the navy, $4,700,000 will be used to build bomb
shelters and improve harbor facilities at Guam. Naval authorities testified
this work could be described as "passive fortification." " r
' Rear Admiral Harold R. Stark, chief of naval operations, said the work on
Guam must be done whether or not Japan likes it, that Guam is under the
American flag and no foreign nation can dictate what theUnited States does
there. ' - , " . ' '

The Blue Devils just were too much
tonight doubtless the best team on
the courts all day. Despite scoring ef
forts by Bob Rose and Jimmy Howard
throughout the evening, Carolina led
by two points only once and each time
the Phantoms went ahead the Dukes
matched them basket for basket. The
lead changed hands three times the
first half, and nine the "econd. But
the lead didn't change in the last min
utes of play unfortuna y for Caro

Chuck Holley did a magnificent job
of covering All-American George
Glamack, and held him to 10 points
a figure that tied f of second high scor
ing honors but not one that the 4,000
spectators had anticipated. Glamack
had Cy Valasek as, well as , Holley
guarding him, and it is remarkable
that he was able to complete his four
hook shots. "
. Added to Duke's close guarding was
Carolina's failure to make good on
long shots. Jimmy Howard, for the
second year playing great tournament
ball, swished in four set shots, but
the other Phantoms were off badly.
Their shots rolled around the hoops,
but seldom rolled in.
When the others lacked the needed
points, Howard and Rose took up the
Phantoms' burden. Smithfield's Bob
