Carolina Engages
Maryland at 4:00
In Initial Round
By Zane Robbins
DURHAM, March 2 Eight
Dixie basketball teams, the
cream of the Southern confer
ence cage crop, will gather here
today in the "City of Exciting
Stores" for the initial round of
the annual Southern loop tour
ney. George Washington will square
off against South Carolina's
Gamecocks at 2:15 in the 1949
curtain-raiser, Carolina will meet
Maryland in the second bout of
the day at 4 o'clock, N.C. State
takes on Wake Forest at 7:30
in one of the first-round fea
tures, and a 9 o'clock battle be
tween Davidson and William and
Mary will wind up the day's ac
tivities.
The State-Wake Forest tilt and
the Davidson-William and Mary
battle are current hot-beds of in
terest ana nave arawn more
comment than any of the other
opening-day -conflicts. The other
two inauguratory games are ex
pected to be "shoo-ins" with the
Tar Heels heavy favorites to lick
Maryland, and GW the choice
over South Carolina.
Slate on Spot
Coach Everett Case's power
laden Wolfpack will be on the
spot in tonight's bout. The "Hoo
sier Hotshots," natural pre-tour-ney
favorites, have drawn the
sometimes-hot, sometimes-not-
so-hot Deacons of Wake Forest as
first-round opponents, and will
be up against their toughest con
ference jinx if nothing else.
The boys from Baptist Hollow
have had more luck against the
Statemen during the past three
years than has any other loop
team and it is not to be forgot
ten that the Deacs have already
upset the State apple-cart once
this season.
Look for this one to be a real
thriller.
An interesting . tourney side
light that will probably develop
in the early rounds of the title
struggling is the expected scor
ing battle between top confer
ence point-maker Coy Carson
and 600-point man Chet Gier
mak. Carson has had better scor
ing success against loop foes, but
Giermak has a much better over
all total.

The
Champion"
Unknowns Defeat Beta Quint
For All-Campus Cage Laurels
The Intramural department
completed its activities for the-
winter quarter last night at Wool
len gym with a rousing Sports
Carnival that started early and
ended late, providing almost four
hours of consistent entertainment
for all who attended.
The fitting climax to this gala
presentation was the final mural
basketball game of the year in
which the Unknowns topped off
their brilliant rise in the ranks
of campus basketball independ
ent teams knocking off a high
ly rated Beta Theta Pi quintet
and capturing the campus champ
ionship. The Unknowns won 38
32 in a clash that provided some
exciting moments toward the close
of the contest.
Thus for the second straight
year an independant dormitory
five took the measure of the
fraternities to annex the all-cam
pus championship. The Unknowns
replace the Blackballs as the
mural cage champs for 1949. '
victory was their all-around
height FoV once during the sea
son Beta center Kenny Powell
did not have a field day as a
pair of Unknown agents, Jack
Hobbs and Jim Landis, complete
ly covered the big Beta pivot
man which eventually proved to
be the margin of victory.
Another highlight of the eve- j
ning and the one that attracted
the most attention was the boxing
championships. Of the eight titles
decided the frat pugilists stole
the show from the dorm boxers
by winning six of the eight. All
he bouts were hotly contested
and every blow brought a mul
titude of cheers but the feature
titude of cheers, but the feature
when W. Miles of Beta was
awarded a T.K.O. verdict . over
Bob Fowler of the Town. Dave
Ferebee of Chi Psi and Karl Mat
tox of Town fought to a draw in
the 145-lb. class but Ferebee was
given the title on the basis of
better ringmanship.
The game itself was not out
standing and the calibre of play
was not up the usual high stand
ards .of both squads. Both the
Betas and the Unknowns could
n't hit the side of the proverbial
barn during the first half when
pbints tallied at the foul line ac
counted for a good portion of
the score
However, the Unknowns could
n t be stopped. 1 ney took an
early lead and held it through
out the game despite the loss
of several key men and the val
ient surge of the Betas in the
last several minutes. It may be
said that the key to the Unknowns
In the badminton singles final
match between Clark Taylor and
Ed Cloyd, Taylor emerged trium
phant and retained the title for
the third straight year. Mural di
rector Walter Rabb participated

in nis own tourney last nigm
and was good enough to take
first place in the bait-casting contest.
Other events were the foul
shooting contest won by Doug
Cooper of Manly who threw in
22 of 25 attempts to edge Dick
Jen'rette of Chi Psi. Tommy
Schienman waded through four
opponents to win the table ten

trophy.

Meredith Girls
By 22-22 Score
Carolina's coed basketball team
and a favored Meredith college
fought to a 22-22 deadlock yes
terday afternoon in the women's
gym.
The local lassies managed to
hold a slight edge during most
of the tilt; but a last quarter
rally by the visiting sextet
brought them in striking dis
tance, and Fannie Fitzgerald
sank a goal from beneath the
basket just seconds before the
final gun to tie the count at
22-all.
The Carolina cagers were lead
ing 13-10 at halftime. The two
teams were prohibited by local
rules from playing off the tie,

with 15 points. Phyllis Ferger
son was tops for Carolina, with
11 markers, while Margaret
