jJL NotWiii Here About Aid for Athlete Not to I Mince Matters S -A By Harry Hollingsworth f 3 , Nope, we haven't seen visions dur ing the holidays of Bill Dudley raising hell on Kenan stadium like many of the Carolina students have who stayed over for the game Thursday, and we are glad we haven't. We saw enough Thursday. But for the sake of the record, let it be stated that Carolina was beaten by Bill Dudley and other Virginia play ers. Dudley, the Bluefield Bullet, per sonally accounted for 22 of the 28 points racked up by the Virginia team by scoring three touchdowns and kick ing four extra points. And he passed for the fourth Virginia marker. Dudley was by far the best Tf fensive back seen on Kenan this year orin many years for that mat ter. He ran, passed, and kicked his way through the Carolina eleven. When he left the game late in the fourth quarter, his teammates rush ed on the field, shouldered him and carried him from the field as thous ands of people stood up and cheer ed with open-mouth amazement, as if to say: "Can this be true, or have we been seeing things?" Coach Wolf said after the game that Dudley "deserves anybody's All American team." ,o But to tear ourselves away from football for a while, let it be said that the tennis team started all over again See MINCE MATTERS, page 4 Phys Ed Boxing Tourney Starts Thursday in Gym The annual boxing tournament for; freshman and sophomore physical edu cation classes will get underway Thurs day in the boxing room at 4:30.

The weights for this tournament will be the same as in intercollegiate boxing, beginning with 120-pound weight and continuing to the heavy weight division. During the past years the fights have produced several fine varsity boxers including Andy Gennett, last year's co-captain, "Red" Sanders, Johnnie Johnston, this year's captain, Bob Far ris, Ed Dickerson and Joe Murnick. All candidates for the freshman team will take part in the tournament and those who show any prospects will be asked to come out for the team. A new system for scoring an inter collegiate fight has been developed by Coach Ronman and will be turned over to the National Intercollegiate Boxing Board in hopes that in the future it will be universally used among college teams. The new system provides a definite score chart for each blow and gives the spectator a chance to know what the score is after each round and puts boxing in the same realm as other team sports as far as scoring is con cerned. All varsity and freshman boxers are asked to report to the boxing room for workouts every Thursday between 4 and 6 o'clock- i-4 .0 r' it r i n 9 yZyy. i V ' ...

The medley relay team and the freestyle relay team of the frosh also received national rankings. Hammond was ranked the second best backstroker in the country. Dilley of Purdue was ranked first. Last summer in a national meet Dilley placed third in competition with top notch swimmers in the country. Ham mond as a freshman was nothing short of a sensation. He was undefeated and could have easily defeated any varsity backstroker in the conference. Shumate No. 5 Ed Shumate in the individual medley was ranked No. 5 nationally.

There Exists Much Confusion About Score There was great confusion yester day at the close of the football mana ger's football game between the soph omore managers and the junior and senior managers on the staff. One side the sophomores claimed that the final score was 19-18 in favor of them, but the junior-senior team thought differently about the matter. It claimed that the final score was 18 all. It all came about like this. The junior-senior team was leading, 18-12, with night approaching and the game far from being completed. Feeling happy about the way things were happening, they offered to give the ball to the sophomores for two downs and then they would take it for two downs and the team which ad vanced the furtherest would be the winner. But the sophomores scored a touch down which made the score 18-18 if the junior-senior score given the Tar Heel sports staff is correct. The sophs claim that they scored an extra point how was not explained and the fin al score was 19-18. It was well established that Whid Powell, captain of the sophs, and Bo Kennedy and Johnnie Walker scored the touchdowns for the soph team. For the junior-senior squad Graham Carl ton tallied twice and Dan Thomason once. Cy Hogue and North Hinkle were co-captains of the junior-senior team. Sleight-of-hand trickery is known as legerdemain. Mural Mat Meet Begins Tomorrow Intramural wrestling gets under way tomorrow with the weighing-in ceremonies being held in the afternoon. Actual competition will start Thursday, when first round matches will be run off, and will continue for about 10 days. Last year there were approximately 300 entries in the dorm and fraternity tournaments and well over this number are expected to participate in the sport this year. In last year's competition Zeta Psi captured its third consecutive team championship by amassing a total of 52 points. The Phi Gams captured the runner up honors with 43 points, nine less than the winners. In the dorm itory class, Town placed champions in two weights to take the team title with nine, points. Alexander, runner-up in this division, with 7 points, took the crowns in three weights, the 128, the 175, and the heavyweight classes. Kimball Wins The heavyweight division furnished the features of last year's tournaments. In the dormitory tourney George Spransy of Alexander won his second title by downing Lewis' representative in the finals. Gates Kimball of the Dekes, co-captain of last year's foot ball team, defeated teammate Dick White of the Betas for the heavyweight crown of that division.

Tar Heel Fencing Team Has Great Record Since Revival of Sport in 1938 by Students Squad First Formed in 1931, But Died in 1934 By Morty Cantor Back in 1929, Hinky Hendlin and a group of interested fencers got togeth er for a little s wordplay, and this in formal gathering resulted in the for mation of North Carolina's first fenc ing team. Following a highly successful begin ner's tournament, an official team was recognized which entered into inter collegiate competition in the spring of 1931 and won the conference title. In 1932, the Tar Heel fencers ranked second to VMI and in 1933, paced by the Wardlaw Brothers and Hendlin, a northern tour was made on which only one bout was lost out of 16. In 1934 the last flicker of the dying embers of fencing at Carolina and epi demics, lack of interest, and other fac tors downed its attempted revival unt'l the spring of 1936 .when John Elmen dorf and Ed Coffin, both experienced fencers, began a class for freshmen Students Personalized Xmas Cards VARSITY fencers with the aim of developing a team. Throughout 1937 Coffin devel oped his budding fencers after Elmen dorf had graduated. Active revival of the team came in an impressive ceremony in the Main Lounge of Graham Memorial on Febru ary 19, 1938. Dr. Frank Graham first gave a welcome address to guests and VPI fencers who had been invited for this important meet. Robert A. Fet zer, director of athletics at Carolina, then gave an inaugural address to the fencing team, which won over VPI, 10-7. Of the seven meets that season, the Carolina only lost one, and that to the strong William and Mary team. The Tar Heel team won six of their ten meets in 1939, this time defeating William and Mary 14 one-half-12 one half and whipping Duke 12-1. At the Eastern Intercollegiate fencing tourn ament of that year at Hanover, New Hampshire, the Carolina team got sixth place in each weapon, with John Finch taking first place in Class C epee, Cap tain Allen Bloom tying for second place in Class B sabre, and Joe Boak coming third in Class C foil. Continuing their fine record, the fencing team in 1940 won five of their eight bouts and at the beginning of this year, under the able coaching of Dr. R. B. Lawson the' team lost only two of their nine bouts, and those to the two strongest fencing teams in the country, ' Sophomores Make Prospects Good For Coming Season Seton Hall and CCNY. Although some of the best fencers graduated this June, this year's team looks especially good and the new crop of sophomores particularly promising. With Coach Lawson and Co-Captains Larry Hutton and Tom Deering, the team is sure to add many laurels to its record. However, in spite of the fact that the Carolina fencing team has 26 victories out of 36 meets it still does not have the full support of the Athletic Coun cil. . Athletic Managers Meet Tonight There will be an important meeting of all intramural managers tonight at 7:15 in 304 Woollen. Plans for con ducting mural wrestling will be dis cussed at that time. Personalized Xmas Cards VARSITY Coaches Express Amazement At Reported Alumni Plan By Harry Hollingsworth Carolina athletic officials expressed surprise yesterday at a story appearing in Sunday's Charlotte Observer that a group of in terested Eastern North Carolina alumni were starting a movement to provide worthy athletes with scholarships to attend the Uni versity. The story, written under a Raleigh dateline, stirred many com ments in the athletic department, but no one in Woollen gym nasium was able to explain who was behind the movement. The article said that "as many as 50 scholarships would be established. Alumni Secretary Maryon Saunders said the move- ment was news to him, but "he had an idea who might be behind it." Graham's Approval Needed The plan, the article said, would have to be submitted to President Frank Graham for his approval. A committee, it said, would confer with 12 Lettermen Form Tract Team Nucleus Although there are 12 returning lettermen, Carolina track prospects are worse this year than they have been in several seasons. The team has suf fered in a fashion similar to that of the cross country squad in that many men have been lost by graduation and the army. Hanson issued an urgent call for all track candidates to report to Fetzer field today. With the exception of the hurdles, all events are wide open this year with many a spot for a good man. He announced that fall track practice will continue outdoors for the remain der of the week unless the weather sud denly turns colder. Lettermen returning this year be sides Co-Captains Roy Cathey and Dick White are Warren Mengel, top-notch hurdler and jumper and one of the few outstanding performers on the squad; Mike Mangum, another front rank hurdler; Ike Taylor, hurdler par excellence in past years who will prob ably be one of the leading sprint men this year; Mike Wise, cross country captain and speedy half-miler on the track team; Rich Van Wagoner, an other star harrier who specializes in the half and the mile on the cinders ; Wim py Lewis, two-miler; Jim Lloyd, pole vaulter; Bill Olive, discus man; Stu Richardson, javelin; and Percy Ashby. sprinter and broad jumper. Dunkle Receives Honorable Mention Harry Dunkle, Carolina's Co Captain, was honored over the week end by being named to the honor able mention list of the NEA AI1 American football team. Steve Lach was named on the first team and Bill Dudley on the second team. Coach Ray Wolf of the Carolina football team issued the following statement yesterday: "I want to thank again the stu dents for their fine spirit and loyal ty to the team and the coaching staff during the football season. It really meant a lot to me, the staff and the team to know that the stu dent body was behind us win or lose." Dr. Graham in the near future con cerning the proposal, but Dr. Graham could not be reached for comment last night. "At present alumni contribute to a fund, a part of which is used to assist athletes, but the men proposing the new plan, believe the present system lacks the proper organization and is not aggressive enough," the story read. "Discouraged by the poor showing of the Carolina football team during the past two seasons, this group has made considerable investigation and found various factors which they at tribute to the disappointing play of the team," the article further stated. The article , said that persistent re ports had been made that the Caro lina team was lax in its training this fall and that there had been several instances of players breaking training rules. Blame for this was not laid en tirely to the coaches, but "it is believ- , ed to be the result of certain alleged defects in the athletic situation at Chapel Hill," the article stated. Coach Ray Wolf yesterday de nied emphatically that any Carolina player broke training rules during the season. "As far as I know, I saw no one break rules and I had no report that any of the players were breaking training rules," he said. "If anyone had broken rules, they See SCHOLARSHIP, page 4 r- c How to Win Friends in one easy lesson Treat yourself and others to wholesome, delicious Wrigley's Spearmint Gum. Swell to chew.
