THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1949 THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE THREE i With The TAR HEELS By Dick Jenrette When handing out credit for work well done, much praise deser vedly goes to the Carolina intramural department for its fine job of encouraging student participation in athletics. But during the last few days there have been innumerable complaints about the latest sport to be inaugurated this winter, that sport being boxing. From this point it looks like the complaints are justified. Boxing is no newcomer to the Carolina intramural program, but this does not necessarily justify its continued existent Tt will hP remembered by some students that boxing as a varsity sport was banned at Carolina last year. There were numerous reasons for discontinuing the sport, such as lack of opponents in this district and also a shortage of boxing talent. But perhaps the most important factor was the belief that boxing as a sport was too rough for college athletics. And statistics verify this statement, for each year boys are seriously injured in collegiate boxing. Logic, then, would bring out the question that if boxing is too rough for varsity athletes, isn't it certainly too rough for intramural performers? Supporters of the game, though, point out that in intra mural boxing the fighting period lasts for a shorter time and also that both competitors are required to wear a mask and extra large, weil-padded gloves. But even with this arrangement the boxers take quite a bit of punishment. Entrance Not Entirely Voluntary The Intramural department probably is satisfied with the boxing program. because of the large number of entrants each year. This total doubtless is impressive, particularly in view of the fact that entrance theoretically is voluntary. Actually, however, the large number of participants in boxing results from the compulsory entrance of fraternity pledges. Most Carolina fraternities, anxious to improve their intramural point totals, require all pledges to enter. As a result many boys physically unequipped for boxing are forced to go to what they consider their "doom." If none of the entrants had had any previous boxing experience, then we would say the program would be beneficial to the students. Hut thprp alwavs arp Fnniicrh ontranto nrVin Vioiro Anna enmo Knvina previously to hand the neophytes at the sport a terrific beating. Also there is the vital matter of conditioning for the sport. We have observed several boys virtually fasting and working out daily in order to get into a weight classification below that which they really belong in. Working out is good for a person, but it can be overdone. The Intramural department should weigh all these factors before going along with the boxing precedent next year. From here, it's difficult to see that the advantages of boxing balance the disadvantages. Cagers Rank 28th Nationally Associated Press basketball ratings this week rank the Tar Heels 28th nationally, with 14 points. . .State has the best rating lfAh with 50 points. Cage Coach Tom Scott, in his search for basket ball talent, would do well to observe the play -of Bobby Goss, 6-7 center for the undefeated Needham Broughton High team in Raleigh . . .Goss is one of the best backboard players in state high school circles and says he is interested in continuing his education at Carolina. . .But Coach Everett Case at State reportedly is making overtures for his services. Seen in the Y-Court yesterday was Bill (Earthquake) Smith, rugged tackle on the 1947 football team here. , Earthquake played pro ball this past season. Paul Severin, All-American, end at Carolina in 1940, has accepted a position as freshman grid coach at the University of Florida. . . Buddy Johnson, a promising forward on Carolina's freshman basket ball team, is no longer in school. . Johnson went home to Pikeville, Ky., over the weekend and wasn't back in time for the game Mon day. . .He came in next day, packed his bag, and left the university . . .Coach Jim Hamilton has inserted Frank Eckert at Johnson's vacated forward position. Billy Carmichael III, Daily Tar Heel sports editor, is still in Watts hospital, Durham, recuperating from an appendectomy. . .He seems to be improving rapidly. . .Bill has had quite a siege in the hospital recently. . .Prior to his appendectomy he was laid up with an attack of glandular fever. He should be able to return to work on Monday. Moye Terminates Football Combo Of Long Standing One of football's oldest coach ing combinations was terminated'! yesterday with the resignation of Max Reed as University of North Carolina line coach. This past fall, Reed completed his twentieth year as first assist ant to Carl Snavely. The veteran mentor was associated with ' the "Grey Fox" for five years at Bucknell, nine years at Cornell, and six here. His announcement that he is leaving North Carolina came as a surprise. He added that an announcement of his plans could not be made at present. "One of Best" Reed, a 49-year-old bachelor, rated by Snavely as "one of the best line coaches in the business," served with the latter as a field man. While -other members' of the staff scouted on Saturdays, Reed invariably stayed with Snavely on the bench, and the two teamed up in directing their teams. The former Bucknell star guard and center, has a wide circle of friends in this area. In addition to enjoying the respect of Caro lina players, he has always been highly popular with them. Reed began his playing career at Bucknell. in 1919 and played four seasons, captaining the team his senior year. After graduating he played five years of profes sional football. He was with the New York Giants when a should er injury ended his playing career. He joined Snavely at Buck nell in 1929 and each time the latter has transferred to another post, Reed has gone with him. Reed's successor on the North Carolina staff has not been named.

Pennsylvania Takes Action Against Sports Bribery HARRISBURG, Jan. 26 (UP) Football commissioner Bert Bell's two year campaign to make sports bribery a criminal offense finally brought action today in the State senate where a special government committee approved tn anti-fix bill and sent it to the floor for debate. Passage of the bill, which has Republican support, was expected without too much opposition. Son. Harvey M. Taylor, Repub lican State chairman and presi dent pro tempore of the Senate, introduced the measure which he said was designed to "wipe out the worst thing in sports." The bill would make any at 'temnt to hrihe an athlete, either cifically that, the bribe need not be for throwing a game it would also be a crime to reduce a win ning team's margin of victory. Bell, commissioner of the Na tional Professional Football lea gue, has been trying ever since the football scandal in 1946 in volving the New York Giants, to get all states to pass anti- bribery bills. Several states promptly en acted such legislation, but Penn sylvania did not undertake to do so until the present session of RpnntP Tavlor's bill also would boost the fine for persons found guilty of accepting bribery from $1,000 to $3,000.

Because the meet, which will take place February 26, is not a University event, student and faculty passbooks are not good for admission. However, nine hundred seats are being reserved for Carolina students at half price, which is seventy-five cents, and coupon number 30 from the student passbook. Since the number of seats for U.N.C. students is limited to nine hundred, Crook recommended that those interested purchase their tickets at once. One thous and additional tickets are being reserved for the general public at $1.50 each. EQUALS RECORD NEWCASTLE, Australia, Jan. 26-(UP)-Lloyd La Beach of Pan ama equalled the world's record of 9.4 seconds for the 100-yard dash tonight but the performance will not be recognized officially because the race was started by a whistle instead of a gun. A whistle was employed when the starting gun jammed just before the race. The Panamanian Olympic star's time was the fastest ever recorded" on a grass track in Australia. Feller Holds Out; Is Joined By Mates CLEVELAND, Jan. 26 (UP) Mild-mannered Bobby Feller of the Cleveland Indians became a holdout today for the first time in his major league career and he was joined by three team mates who thought that they, too, should have a bigger reward for winning the world title. Feller crossed up his boss, Bill Veeck, when he said very frankly that "I ame not satisfied with present terms." Veeck offered Feller a contract based on a cut in his base pay nlus a bonus for attendance on Cleveland home attendance. The only trouble, Feller said, Was that "we just didn't see eye to eye on the number of people who will se us play." "But we'll get together," Feller said. "I'll be in there on the opening day of spring training. It is just that the contract is so complicated it will need a little more working out." Feller, who won 19 games last season but still failed to come up to expectationns, was joined by pitchers Bob Lemon and Gene Bearden, and third baseman Ken Keltner, as dissatisfied players. McAFEE TO DEACONS WAKE FOREST, Jan. 26 (UP) George McAfee, bruising half back of the Chicago Bears and a great college star at Duke Uni versity, signed today as a member of the Wake Forest football coaching staff. Wake Forest officials said it was not definite what his exact coaching duties were to be. He will join the staff when spring practice starts Feb. 7. The Tar Heels won their var sity Big Five match on two falls, three decisions, a forfeit and a draw. "Davidson's only victory came on a fall in the second match. Undefeated Phil Kemp, third in the Southern conference tourna ment last year, scored the most outstanding victory of the night when he pinned Rice with a half nelson at 1:11 of the first period in the 155. 4 Lone Wildcat Winner After Tar Heel Paul Edmond son had won the 121-pound class on a forfeit, Davidson's Jimmy Jung turned in the only Wildcat win of the night in the 128-pound class. Jung was originally sched uled to grapple in the 121 class, but failed to make this weight. The closest match of the even ing found Carolina's 165-pound contestant John Stoioff fighting Bill Alexander to a 3-3 draw. Joe Augustine wound up the action with a heavyweight win. Joe had to fight 225-pounder Bill Moore and won in the third per iod after Moore's war-injured leg had been hurt. Four Falls In scoring their third straight victory of the young season, coach Irv Zirpel's Tar Babies won all eight matches, four of them on falls, to win, 32-0. Tom Williams, fighting his first match for Carolina, got things started in the opening match by pinning Mattson in the 121 after . 2:45 of the first period. This was the first time that Carolina had a man to fight in that class. Tommy Coxe also scored a first period fall for the Tar Babies when he pinned Davidson 165- pounder Boyd in 2:01 of the first period. The other Tar Baby winners were McGimsey (128), decision; Dotson (136), fall; Farber (145), decision; Quarles (155), fall; Pickard (175), decision and Lovick (heavy weight), decision. There will be a match with Virginia Tech, varsity and fresh man at Blacksburg, Virginia on Saturday night. The Summaries Scortmen Drill For Friday Battle With Davidson (UNC) won li t!

SCORES UPSET MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 26 (UP) Betty Rowland of Lexington, Ky., today scored the first hg upset of the 17th annual Helen Lee Doherty Challenge cup golf tour nament by defeating Dorothy Kielty of Los Angeles, 4 and 3. Back at work after Tuesday's respite, Coach Tom Scott and his cage squad went through rigorous paces yesterday in preparation for gruelling schedule that faces them over the week-end. Tar Heel enthusiasts will ty ible to watch two vital confer nee games this weekend as th aardwooders entertain Davidson' wildcats on Friday night anc .ueet the Pallidins of Furmai iTien, after a day's rest on Sun Jay, the Tar Heels travel tl Knoxville to engage Tennessee Monday night in the only non. conference contest left on tM Carolina schedule. Cheek Big Threat Ireferring to take the game as tney come. Scott is now con cerned with stopping the ram paging Wildcats and their high scoring center, Buddy Cheek. cause Cheek is a threat from anywhere on the court with hi unerring set and jump shots, the coaches have decided to assign jne man to Cheek to hang on to him the entire 40 minutes. However two other Davidson guards, Williams and Cobb, will also bear watching. The Carolina "brain trust" now has a problem with their own squad. Rip Ryan, the Tar Heels' flashy guard, sustained a twisted ankle in the opening minutes of the VPI game and it is dubious whether the Trenton, N. J. floorman will be able to play at all this weekend. If not, the Carolina mentor will stick to his starting lineup of Coy Carson, Dan Nyimicz, Nemo Nearman and Hugo Kap pler with the last member of the Howard Deasy, John Tsantes or starting five to be chosen from Charley Thorne. Thorne took over in Ryan's place after the latter's injury Monday night and handled his chores creditably and scoring six points, but his small stature has led Scott to consider the possibility of starting either Deasy or Tsantes in the Friday evening fray against the sky-scraping Wildcats. Tsantes also saw plenty of action against VPI while con tributing 13 markers and his nerformance warrants him an- other chance.
