Four New Mittmen
Selected to Start
In Carolina Lineup
By Roy Holsten
Mike "Houdini" Konman reached
deep in his bag of tricks this week
and came up with four new scrap
pers to augment his depleted Tar Heel
ring squad which clashes with the
Army Cadets this afternoon at West
Point
Of late, Mike has been working
his "vanishing boxer" trick with an
amazing degree of success. In fact,
since the onset of the current season,
over eight.have disappeared. This has
been somewhat disconcerting to the
fiery little mentor but he has managed
to replace them with fighters who,
despite their lack of experience, at
least possess an abundance of spirit.
Hit by Injuries
Earlier this week, Coach Ronman
was confronted with a list of four
proposed starters who had developed
minor ailments and injuries. Undaunt
ed, he has rapidly whipped into shape
four substitute starters who will ac
company the boxers to West Point
for their last dual meet of the season.
In the 165-pound division, Mike has
been grooming Charlie Higgison for
a starting berth. Charlie boxed in in
tramurals this fall and looked im
pressive as he went through his work
outs yesterday.
The other new men include P. A.
Lee, in the 125-pound division, Tony
Payne, 145 pounder, and Glade Flake
in the 175-pound bracket. This will
be the first fight for all four.
Cadets Have Strong Squad
The Cadets have a strong outfit,

Tankmen Seek to Maintain
Eight-Year Victory String
West Raleigh Natators Heavily Favored;
Ficklen, Sper Expected to Spark Locals
By Bob Goldwater
Unbeaten in Southern conference dual meet competition for the
past eight years, Carolina's Blue Dolphins face the most serious
; threat to that streak since its start in 1939 when they oppose N. C.
State's flashy swimmers in Bowman
GJray pool this afternoon at 4 o'clock.
The Red Terrors, coached by for
mer Tar Heel mentor Willis Casey,
jre heavily favored to put a halt to
:he Carolina string of 26 consecutive
circuit victories. Led by three Bills,
Kelly, Ward and Desperes, the Ra
leigh team has rolled through seven
straight tilts and copped the Carolinas
AAU meet two weeks ago. The Dol
phins have a 2-0 record in loop com
petition. Hopes for Victory
Banking his hopes for victory on a
majority of second and third places
plus .several top positions, Coach
Dick Jamerson will call on his two
tars, Norm Sper and Co-Captain
Warren Ficklen,. in the maximum of
:hree events. Ficklen will go in the
nedley and 100-meter free-style eventa
with Sper performing in the diving
and backstroke. Both are slated for
relay duty.
Other swimmers on whom Coach
famerson is counting to annex points
against the strong opposition include
Jesse Greenbaum in both sprints, Bud
dy Crone in the diving. Pete Hexner
and Jerry Cook in the breaststroke,
and Sam McCauley in the distance
events.
State Stars
Coach Casey will also use his three
aces in the full quota of three races.
All three are expected to swim the
relay, with Kelly going in the medley
and breaststroke, Ward in the two
sprints, and Desperes in the 150-meter
backstroke and 220. Other outstand
ing Terrors include Captain Bob Rey
nolds, in the sprints, backstroker Bill
Nufer and divers Bill Cramer and
Tinker Heyward.
Ironically, two of State's stars
helped build up the Carolina record.
Both Kelly and Ward were Tar Heel
standouts during the war, being en
rolled in the V-12 program.
