...... r ., SUNDAY, JANUARY 17, 1943 THE DAILY TAB HEEL PAGE THHIZ2 ft A A 1 Mi Meets Mr Urquhart Tops Varsity Men With 1:40 Pin In a startling display of early season power, Carolina's wrest ling Tar Heels downed an out classed Duke team 23-3. The Tar Heels looked very impres sive in their initial match of the year, and they gave warning to the rest of the Southern confer ence that they are out to dupli cate last year's fete of walking off with the conference crown. Burgess Urquhart led the var sity by pinning Nicholson in 1 :40 of the second period. In the first set of matches of the night's battling, the Tar Heel "B" squad took the Blue Devils into camp by a 27-3 count to set a hard pace for the "A" squad to follow. "Beef" Efird led the "B" squad in their win by pinning Izzler in 1 :50 of the first period after taking his man down with a standing switch. In the first varsity match of the evening T. A. Hern got the Tar Heels off to a flying start when he copped the decision from Bobby Stroup by a . 4-3 count. Hearn showed plenty of wrestling sense and managed to keep his opponent on the defen sive throughout the match. Conference champ McKeever came through with a win over Wick Richardson, tough Duke ster by a 9-5 count. The blonde Blue and White grappler dis played the form that has made him the most feared wrestler in these parts at 128 pounds. It was a close match throughout, and Hobie had to hustle to top his man. Ole man "Mose" Robinson proved he was far from dead by overwhelming Larry Phelps in the 135 pound class. Phelps, for mer Maryland state champ was no match for the smart Tar Heeler. Urquhart's pin the 145 pound tussle was the feature of the evening. Burgess fiver was ob tained with a reverse nelson and crotch hold. In the 155 pound scrap, Art Bluethenthal, undefeated fresh man star of last year continued his victory, march when he gain ed a 4-1 decision over Sid Gul ledge. Bluethenthal held a 7 minute time advantage and was never in danger. Frank Mordecai topped Bill Haines 6-1 in the 165 pound bat tle. Mordecai shows promise of following in brother Sam's foot steps, and turning into the top See WRESTLING, page 4 Mural Schedule Intramural director Walter Rabb announced the basketball schedule for Monday : Games played at 6:00 p.m. Woollen Court 1: Sigma Nu No. 2-Pika No. 1; Court 2: NROTC No. 2-Carr No. 1 ; Court 3: Phi Delt No. 2-Kappa Sigma No. 1 ; Court 4 : Phi Kappa Sig-ma-Beta No. 1.

Coach Casey Sees Trouble Freshman Swimmers Upped to Varsity Coach Casey is on the spot, to put it blandly. Due to the new Southern conference rule per mitting freshmen to participate in varsity sports events, he can not tell when some of his brighter swimmers will be whisked away to the varsity. With a winning streak of twenty- nine meets to defend, he must field a potent team in order to stem the tide of challengers. So far three of his stars have been placed under the guidance of Coach Jamerson. They are Snooky Proctor, ace long-distance natator; Ben Ward, cham pion sprinter; and Jesse Green baum, a good man on the middle distances and the backstroke. To replace these he has brought up Ed Bond, Ira Abra hamson, Joe Algranti, Alan Kaufman, and Henry Huse. Bond, although overshadowed by Ward, did very well in the sprints last fall and is steadily improving. In the time trials yesterday afternoon he covered the 50 meter course in the good time of 29.8 seconds. With a lit tle more practice he should take his event against all comers. Al granti has been posting better times consistently. His. latest and best was 30.8 seconds for 50 meters. Abrahamson, however, beat out this time by 510ths of a second and is probably a few steps ahead of Algranti. Huse, who just decided to come out for the team is probably a starter in the 100 and 200 meter events. Kaufman is also a middle dis tance swimmer. Yesterday he covered the 100 meter course in 1:08 minutes, a good time for this early in the season. In an effort to develop some new freestylers - Coach Casey tinid the yearlings on the 50 and 100 meter distances. Ex cepted from this were the back strokers. The times mentioned above were the best turned in. evils -7t If l0 Winter IntrMhural Schfeiliile To Get XJnderw With 12 Basketball Contests The winter intramural schedule will get under way tomorrow when 12 basketball games are played in Woollen gym and the Tin Can, Intramural Director Walter Rabb announced yesterday. The basketball intramurals will be run off in the form of a partial round-robin tournament with each team slated to play five contests. At the completion of the schedule, the four outfits lead ing in both the fraternity and dormitory leagues will engage in an elimination percentage tourney to determine the loop winners. Two games will be played on six courts each day with the first six slated for 6 p. m. and the rest at 6 :45 p. m. v'; " 7 r " : ' Many of the organizations turning; out' cage quintets have been practicing in the gym during the past week in an effort to put out a strong team. ' Some, such 7as Carr and; the NROTCliriit in the dorm loop and Sigma Nu, Pika, Phi Delt, Kappa Sigma, Beta, SAE, Zeta Psi, Chi Phi, St. Anthony, and Phi: Gam in the frat league, are entering two clubs in their respective divisions. '. 77? " ' I Two other activities will also be held during the coming quar ter, volleyball and. foul shooting. The former will start next Mon day with the teams engaging' in a double-elimination tournament, in which an outfit must lose twice before bowing out of the compe tition. The foul snooting, for which no definite date has been set as yet, is-to be conducted in a meet form' Y 7 : None of last year's dormitory titleholders will defend their lau rels. The basketball champ, Graham, and the foul shooting win ner, Grimes, are now both Navy Pre-flfght quarters. The volley ball titleholder, the Medical School, has not entered the intra murals this year. The fraternity winners last year were' Kappa Sigma, in basketball, Phi Gamma Delta in volleyball, and Zeta Psi in foul shooting. . 7 . , " Coach Rabb wants any boy living in town who wishes to play with an intramural basketball team to come to his office at 307 Woollen. The intramural director also desires that the players stay off the main floor until 5:45 because the janitors must clean the floor after the Navy men leave. Freshman Ruling Bolsters Cavaliers' Boxing Strength By Sam Whitehall The use of freshmen in var sity sports competition in the Southern conference has set the University of Virginia boxing team up as the strongest in the South and even the most chau vinistic Carolinians hold advance wagers giving the Tar Heels not more than 4 bouts against the Cavaliers in Woollen gym next Saturday. Of course, Virginia isn't "a member of this conference, but coaches and athletic officials have maintained a policy of do ing as the conference does in re gard to the freshman question. The Daily Tar Heel went to press last night before results of the Virginia-VPI contest in Blacksburg could be obtained. Odds were in favor of the boxers from Charlottesville, however, and if they lost the bout, mark it off as one of those things that didn't go exactly according to schedule. Just the one bout last night added more experience to Vir ginia's team than Carolina's has yet seen. Experience isn't the only advantage that the Old Dominioneers hold over Joe Murnick's fisters. All but one weight on Carolina's squad goes into Saturday's bout without previous competition. Coach Murnick's long chance lies in judicious placement of the right men in the right weight berth. Thad Ellis, heavyweight, has the hardest punch in the cir cuit, but he was moved up from 175. Whizzer White might fight 165, but he might fight 175. Al Sirkis, freshman, 127, is sure of a varsity berth. He will come against a Virginia freshman who met and defeated some of the best talent in the conference last season. Two distinct teams will box for Carolina, an A and a B. The best men in their weights will fight, regardless of whether they are freshmen or upper classmen. Freshmen Branch, Benbpw, Weinberg, Wulf, Kohn, Snow, Griffeth, Hammer, Saund ers, or Sykes will get a chance to show their ability on the B team, anyway. Promotions to varsity may come with greater experi ence. Coach Truman P. Southall, of Virginia, had more than a dozen varsity candidates return to Charlottesville the final week of Christmas holidays for inten sive preliminary training. Long a producer of top-notch boxing teams, Virginia has look ed forward to a once-and-for-all thorough trouncing of the Tar Heel mittmen. This year offers them their greatest opportunity. Opinion of Carolina boxers, pepped by Coach Murnick's rah rah poster campaign in training headquarters, is : "Over our dead bodies." It's not easy to kill a man with boxing gloves. Coed CVTC Picks Drill Officers The following coeds have been appointed temporary officers in the woman's advanced section of military drill and are asked to be prepared to take over drill begin ning with Tuesday's class: Lieu tenant, Kat Hill ; platoon ser geant, Georgia Logan ; guide ser geant, Martha Heygel; corporal first squad, Gloria Tinfow; cor poral second squad, Helen Clon inger ; and corporal third squad, Elizabeth Fraziei. - i Bill Woestendiek, dean of the Daily Tar Heel sports staff, leaves Carolina this week to en ter the army.

V Raese Hits Hoop Here Navy Coach Uses Break, Control Lieut, (jg) Dyke Raese, coach of the Cloudbusters, is one of the youngest and most successful basketball coaches in the busi ness. Last year his West Virgi nia University team won the Madison Square Garden invita tional tournament defeating such formidable opponents as Long Island University, Toledo and Kentucky. Only 33 now, Raese was grad uated from West Virginia in 1932. While there he played foot ball but, as he states, was not in terested in the hardwrood sport. Following graduation he re turned to his hometown of Davis, W. Va. (population 3,500), and became head coach and athletic director at the high school. His basketball teams won 140 games and lost 35. For four straight years they were in the finals of See RAESE, page 4 T Navy Plays State Tomorrow; Students to See Game Free It was announced yesterday that Carolina students would be admitted to the Cloudbuster State game at 4 o'clock tomorrow by showing their passbooks. The Cloudbusters, deprived of some of the best basketball talent in the East when a ruling was put through forbidding the use of of ficers, will be gunning for their third victory of the campaign. Four losses make their record a rather unenviable one, consider ing what the club might have been. , Yet Coach Raese, employing a paradoxical fast-breaking and painstakingly set type of offense, has done an admirable job consid ering the obstacles he has had to overcome. None of the four losses which the team has suffered have been by more than ten points, and two of them have been games which might have gone either way in the closing seconds. Little is known about the cali Smaller Meet Is Scheduled For Feb. 27 Space in Woollen Curtails Feature The annual Southern confer ence Indoor Games, held here for the past 13 years, have been call ed off, but the University will hold a small Invitational Meet in their place on Saturday, Febru ary 27. This will have only one divi sion, Athletic Director R. A. Fetzer said in his announcement and will be open alike to confer ence and non-conference per formers, both varsity and fresh man. The regular games, long regarded as the "indoor classic of the South," had four divisions, conference, non - conference, freshman and scholastic. The curtailed program, Fetzer said," was due to the difficulty of transportation, and the busy, crowded schedule in Woollen gymnasium due to its combined use by the University and the Navy Pre-flight school here. "We couldn't clear the floor long enough to put on the regular meet," he said. "It took too big a setup." The list of events, time sched ule, and other details for the new Invitational Meet are now being worked out, Fetzer said, and the University plans to begin mail ing out the invitations to the se lected teams in this section right away. Coed Swimmers Hold Tryouts Try-outs for the coed swim ming team will be held in Bow man Gray pool tomorrow from 2:50 to 3:30 p. m. and again Tuesday at the same hours. Officials for the prospective swimming tournament urge all girls interested in participating to enter the try-outs. They stress that form, not speed, will be the basis on which the team will bf? cTiospn. Tentative plans for the tour ney call for a meet, every Fri day afternoon between a dormi tory and sorority squad. Further details , w i 1 1 be announced later. bre of this year's Wolfpack cage team. One thing is certain, how ever : they'll be out there Monday trying desperately to make amends for the football victory which the Cloudbusters had at their expense last fall. Coach Raese, who, on more than one occasion this winter, has awakened to find that the boys who were running up and down the court for him the night be fore were somewhere in Kansas the morning after, is likely to start a team composed of Bro berg, Krat, Caldwell, Jones, and the diminutive McMennamin. Monday's contest presents Carolina students with their first opportunity of seeing the State team, which plays host to the Bantams next Wednesday eve ning. Last year Coach Lange's boys split two games with the Wolfpack, losing by a single taliy at Raleigh in the most hectic game the Bantams engaged in all season.
