Humphries, Choice of Fans To Play Gehrig in Movie Ex-Carolina Star Leads Poll Held By Sporting News If baseball fans have their way about it, the man to fill the role of the late Lou Gehrig in the forthcom ing film to be produced by Samuel Goldwyn will be Johnny Humphries, star pitcher on the University of North Carolina's 1936 baseball team. This choice of Humphries was the result of a poll conducted by The Sporting News, official baseball week ly newspaper feature, and the survey showed the fans definitely, favored a ball player for the role rather than a movie star. However, in the event a screen performer is selected the vot ers designated their choice as Gary Cooper, one of the movies' leading actors and a former Academy Award winner. 44 Candidates Forty-four candidates were nomi nated for the Gehrig role and the se lections were strictly on a basis of physical appearance. The. question put before the fans was which one of the diamond and screen stars most closely resembles Gehrig. The Sporting News collected many photographs of all the nominees, and the decision narrowed down to two ball players and one actor. The ath letes were Humphries and Albert Hol lingsworth, pitcher of Sacramento in the Pacific Coast League. The actor war Eddie Albert, whose head and face greatly resemble Gehrig.

Chan Highsmith with seven tallies and Bruce Bales with six paced the once-beaten Everett club. However, it was the teamwork of the squad that overcame the undefeated Med School ers.' Boo Walker was best for the Doc tors and tallied three points. Byron Sherman and Denman Ham mond shared scoring honors for the Phi Delts with each man accounting for eight markers. The Phi Delts' more experienced swimmers were on the of fense most of the contest holding the ATO's to eight points. McClintic played well for ATO and scored two points.

According to its producers, this film will emphasize Gehrig the man rather than Lou the ball player. The ' pic ture will reveal the personal story of Gehrig as a boy and show how he, with the help of his mother, overcame physical handicaps, went on to re ceive his college education at Colum bia and became one of the. great stars of the sport a hero to old and young, who bore all his honors modestly.

Varley's MENS SHP MM M m m M BASKETBALL MENTOR St. Joseph's One of East's Cage Powers in Recent Years Philadelphia Five Plays Carolina January 3 in Intersectional Tilt By Ben Snyder When Bill Lange's White Phantom five invades Philadelphia's Convention hall ton January 3, they will be stacking up against one of the outstanding basketball teams in the nation. St. Joseph's college, whom the Tar Heels oppose on that date, perennially field a quintet of championship caliber and this year will be no exceptibn. Giving up football four years ago because it interfered with the playing of basketball, St. Joe's was one of the first of the smaller colleges in the country to abandon the more expen- sive grid game in preference to thewhich includes games with Colorado, cage sport. ( . The Philadelphia school came into basketbaJ prominence six years ago when Coach Bill Ferguson brought forth on hardwood one of the finest clubs ever to be seen in the East. Led by giant center Matt Guokas, and featuring four men under 5' 10" in height, the "Mighty Mites," as they were dubbed, swept through sectional and intersectional competition for four years the freshman rule not be ing recognized at St. Joseph's dur ing their first year of competition. Carolina Wins in 1937 The Mites went unbeaten for three years, dropping such court combines as Pennsylvania, Temple and NYU with regularity. Then in the middle of January 1937, Carolina sent a ball club up to Convention hall that stag gered the Hawks, 36-34, ending their sensational streak and inaugurating a red-hot intersectional rivalry. Follow ing that defeat, St. Joe's went on to rack up another successful season, but Hawk teams since that time have been doing their level best to avenge that set-back. The following season saw Fergu son's team win over Carolina 34-29 and the series was broken until last year when St. Joseph's won a thrill ing 42-41 decision at Philadelphia. Everything points to another great game this season. Both squads have lost their last year's stars through graduation. Bill Lange's George Glam ack, who scored 18 points against the Hawks in the defeat last winter, has departed as has Larry Kenney, who paced the St. Joe's five with 14 mark ers against Carolina. Veteran Team Unfortunately the comparison ends there, for Ferguson has a full squad reporting back, while Lange has been forced to experiment with a green team. George "Doc" Senesky, ' at guard, will lead the home team against Carolina, while Butz, Kraft, Kelleher and Coughlin, who round out the start ing five, all saw plenty of , action against the Phantoms last year. -That game will open an all-star in tersectional schedule for St. Joe's Frosh Basketball Team Opens Season Against High Point High January .8 Coach Doc Siewert's freshman bas ketball team will open its season against High Point high school here January 8. The Tar Babies meet 13 opponents this winter including frosh teams from Wake Forest, State, and Duke, five high school clubs, and one junior college outfit. Besides High Point, which has been in the Class A high school finals for the last two years, the frosh cagers will meet Durham, Class A champions for four straight years, Greensboro, always a strong high school team, Hanes high of Winston-Salem, which was in the Class B finals last year, DUTIES AS HEAD -v BASKETBALL COACH AJD AS OHSOf tm BEST 6 IN 12 1AMSOay SUPPED IN THE PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE Back im39 his Bote V ENDED LXlS GRcXf V WNNING STE2AK Oklahoma A & M, West Texas State, Virginia, and De Paul. Ferguson has been quoted as saying in reference to the stiff schedule attempted by his team that "my club this year will not be defeated without a struggle; they have plenty of fight and ability and will only be forced . to fight against overconfidence." Again this year, St. Joe's will feature a fast breaking of fense and a man-to-man defense a method of play that has stood them in good stead throughout past years.

The meet .will start at 4:30 in Bowman Gray swimming pool in Woollen gymnasium. Three other events the two distance swims and the backstroke will be marked by duels between members of the varsity team. The contest, which brings to close the W i tti unapei mil Five Plays Men of Mullis The Mighty Men of Mullis open their season against their ancient and bitter rivals, the Chapel Hill high quint, tonight at 6:45 o'clock in Wool len gym. The Men of Mullis are the third and fourth string freshman basketball players who are coached by Pete Mul lis, the assistant frosh cage mentor. Coach Mullis has been working his squad hard for the last two weeks preparing it for the big game to night. Starting with approximately 35 boys at the first practice, the squad has decreased to its present strength of 12 as the others have dropped off the squad. Mullis has rounded into shape a flashy first five with a capable reserve team ready to relieve it. Chapel Hill Tough In the past the games with the Chapel Hill Tigers have been hard fought and the Men of Mullis have a definite lead in victories in the long I series. Reports from the Chapel Hill camp last night stated that the high school boys have one of the best teams in recent years and are confident of winning tonight. Coach Mullis was hard-pressed to issue a statement but finaljy consented. He said, "My team has been looking good in recent prac tices and it will be at top strength for the game tonight. I am confident of a victory." The starting five for the Men of Mullis will be Snag Clark and , Frank Wideman at forwards, Arthur Bow man at center, Bob Rouse and Joe Wright at guards. Other members of the team are Williard Kaylor, Sam Ward, and Wallace Womble, forwards; Monroe Burrus at center; and Ed Johnson, Harold Weinkle, and Delmar Williams, guards. A special scholarship is maintained at Dartmouth college for a "religious man from Missouri." " I v,v, ,,,,,,, , , I J (Hi XM AS js i GIFTS For Your Old Books BRING your gift problems to the Varsity.

(fall practice session, has been termed the "best swimming meet to be held in the pool this season" by both Coaches Dick Jamerson and Ralph Casey. And that statement covers a lot oi swimming meets, for the University of Florida, long-time champions of the southeastern conference, brings its crack squad here this season. Shumate and Weiss Probably the best' events tomorrow will be in the distance and sprint swims. Ed Shumate, sophomore, and Andy Weiss, junior, will tie up in the dis tance events and a new Fish Bowl rec ord will probably be set. Last Saturi day they tied in the 200-meter swim in the time of 2:29.5 and Weiss edged Shumate out in the 400-meters by a bare six inches in the time of 5:34.5. There are no freshmen on Ralph Cas ey's team which can compete with Shu mate and Weiss. But the story is not the same in the sprints. Wa rner Mallison, a tall, lanky freshman, won both the 50- and 100 meter events in the freshman-varsity reserve meet last Saturday and may possibly repeat tomorrow. His chief competitor in the 50-meter event will be Jack Eshelman and in the 100 Whit Lees, senior lettermen, will offer the frosh star the most competition. Ousley and Whitner Another good race looms In the breaststroke. Bob Ousley, varsity per former, is Southern conference cham pion in the event, but George Whitner, freshman, has turned in better times this year than Ousley. In a practice meet two weeks ago Whitner did 1 : 12.9 for 100-meters, some 1.1 seconds better than Ousley has marked up this season. An indication of how close the div ing will be is the fact that there were 'less than five points difference in the scores of Buddy Crone, Mac Earle, and Johnny Feuehtenberger last Saturday. Crone won, but when, the diving is that close it's difficult to predict the winner of a forthcoming meet. Don Nicholson, Southern conference diving champion, will be out until after Christ mas recovering from a broken wrist. Denman Hammond, the best back stroker in the Southern conference, has the backstroke event already won, but See FISH BOWL, page U OUR iist; mm College Pets Pennants Stationery Merchandise
