4 Tinmen AY, FEBRUARY 16, 1950 THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE THREE TALKING IT UP With Larry Fox Local Three-Ring Circus 1 WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE winter sport? Well, unless it's ice hockey, ski jumping, or the Scotch game of curling, there's a good ' chance that you'll be able to see it in action this weekend. Of course, ' you may have to go to College Park, Maryland or Charlottesville, , Virginia, but the local sports arena has arranged a goodly card this weekend and every sport on the Carolina list will have a chance to ;,ct into the act. ' , The bi item on the agenda pits the surprising Tar Heel cagers (some still can't believe it's true and wonder what Coach Torn "Svc-nguli" Scott has been feeding his charges) against the slumping . Duke Blue Devils. The Dukesters had improved a great deal since ihry dropped a 54-50 decision to Carolina in the Dixie Classic and would probably have been pretty strong favorites tomorrow night, ' but star sophomore Dick Groat dropped out of school last week and , with him went Duke's biggest scoring threat. The loss hurt and last weekend the Blue Devils dropped a pair of games to Maryland, ' which was a decided underdog, and George Washington. The Tar Heels on the other hand, have done nothing but improve j.nd with an impressive victory over William and Mary they may very well be favored over Duke. In-addition to topping one of the strong teams in the Conference, the win over the Indians showed , that Hugo Kapplcr is once again in good shape, but lor how long nobody knows. Kappler dropped in 18 points against W&M and ' that's his healthy average. If he can last out the season without an , injury, he'll be a great help to the Tar Heels in their remaining games. (Ed. note: Don't throw any programs at the officials, they're too .busy (?) to read them anyway.) While on the subject of basketball, one can't forget the freshman ' cagers, who have yet to lose a game on their home court. Like their varsity mates, they will be finishing out their home schedule ind locals fans won't see them in Woollen Gym until next year ' with the varsity. Each team holds one victory in the first two games cf the series, but the Tar Babies have been looking better as the t season has progressed. The frosh contest starts things off tomorrow night, but it's hard to call it a preliminary encounter. It ought to be quite a game. Maybe Another Record, Huh? , ANOTHER FRESHMAN BATTLE in the afternoon is the official curtain-raiser, however, and it pits the once-defeated frosh swim- mers against Georgia Military Academy tomorrow. The local 'year- lings have lost only to the Tar Heel varsity, however, and should win with no trouble at all. Bruce Fountain and Paul Godfrey of the Tar Babies used to swim for GMA, but the visiting cadets won't be able to match the freshman material. There will be a big battle against the clock in several events, however, as the Tar Babies strive to shatter a few more freshman records. The varsity gets its big chance Saturday night when the mermen r engage VMI in a league battle. VMI is pretty good and defeated Duke recently, but the Tar Heels haven't lost a Southern Confer- ente meet since the Dark Ages. Possibly Coach Bob Fetzer remem , bers when, but it was certainly before our time. And the locals also have national record holder Jimmy Thomas, who is good enough to make people forget that days when the Tar Heels just won their meets. Pretty soon the fans will be demanding a new record every week. Also on the swim card is the Southern Inter-Scholastic meet, sponsored by the University. All the best high school swimmers in the South show up at Chapel Hill every year and the local coaches are very happy to give them a pool in which to splash around. Of course, if the outstanding visitors decide that they like Carolina so much they couldn't bear to go to school anywhere else, that's okay too. Several of theis year's freshman team performed here last year. Trials are Saturday morning with finals in the afternoon. Ugh, Grunt, and Groan A SCHEDULE CHANGE has moved the wrestling match with j The Citadel to the local mat and the Tar Heels with a 1-1-1 record will end up with an unbalanced mark. If they lose, the record will be symmetrical (1-2-1 for those who have weak imaginations), but j '.a Conference win goes a long way. With the middle weights sure to j' Vicld at least nine points to the Carolina total, somebody else will have to score a few points for a Carolina victory. It depends on )t which weight range finds the Keydets most weak. ' i The out-ol-town schedule features 'the Maryland Invitation In door Track Meet, a good preliminary for the Conference- Indoor Games the following weekend. The Tar Heels won last year and are favored to win again, but the Terps have a pretty good outfit themselves and won't be far behind. The Old Liners' crew of talented runners will also be a strong threat in the indoor games here next week. And the undefeated fencers also see action with a triangle meet in Charlottesville against Virginia and Johns Hopkins. Don't worry, though, it's not two against one, but a sort of a free-for-all. It'll be a busy afternoon with enough slashing and hacking to satisfy Errol Flynn, much less Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. But you'd better be careful walking around Woollen Gym this weekend, you may be trampled by the competitors. Tar Baby Cagers Prepare For Friday Tilt With Duke Harvie Ward Wins In Second Round Of Golf Tourney ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., Feb. 15 (IP) Co-medalists Harvie Ward and Dick Chapman had the only etsy victories in today's second round of match play in the Tour nament of Golf Club Champions. Ward, defending champion from Tarboro, N. C, von over W. E. Norvell of Chattanooga, 4 and 3. Ward was two under par 72 and Chapman three under for the 15 holes each played. Bill Stark of Jacksonville, who also shared medal honors on qual ifying day, had a tougher battle before he moved into the third round. After eight holes, Stark was five up on Jack Lyons of Garden City, N. Y: Lyons rallied strongly, only to lose on the last green, 1 up. Ned Fitch of Jacksonville, who upset Jimmy Paul, the fourth co-medalist, today ousted Don Clarke of Short Hill, N. J., 2 and 1. Norman Copeland of Chicago shot the best nine-hole score, 33 on the back nine. He needed it to edge A. I. Davey of Shaker Heights, Ohio, 1 up. Davey was three up with five holes left but lost his touch at the same time Copeland hit birdie land. High School Mermen Swim Here Saturday On Saturday afternoon in Bow man Gray pool, approximately twenty teams will vie in the Fourth Annual Southern Inter scholastic swimming meet spon sored by the University of North Carolina swimming coaches. Many of the South's collegiate swimming coaches will be pres ent to witness this great array of talent in order to solicit some of the leading stars for their own schools. Two of the top teams in the tourney will be Sewanee Prepar atory school who contributed Buddy Baarcke and Bill McCord to the Tar Heel freshman squad and Georgia Military Academy who gave up Bruce Fountain and Paul Godfrey to the same local aggregation. Home Stand Ends For Cagers With Duke Tomorrow Night By Lew Chapman Woollen Gymnasium, tomor row night, will be the place for swan song, of three of the local basketball favorites as the Tar Heels will attempt to end their present home -season on a clear note with a victory over: an "in vading Blue Devil quintet from Duke. The only seniors on the Caro lina squad, Nemo Nearman, John Tsantes and Red Bennett, wll perform for the last time on the friendly hardwood floor of the famed Chapel Hill indoor arena. For Nearman it will be. the culmination of a long and color ful career as the pivotman of every Tar Heel five for the past four seasons. Tsantes andBennett have both come into their own in their last year and carry a large part of the local's cage fur ture. The game promises to be a big one for both squads. The Tar Heels seem to be clicking on 11 cylinders and can, be considered the "wonder" team of the Con- .f ,V'v i , .1 y COREN 'CEEP' YOUMANS . . . Duke Co-Captain, scoring ace would carry a lot or weight when the seedings for the Conference tourney are selected. On. the other hand, the clash ference. For them, a triumph may be a "do or die" affair for the Blue Devils. The top ranking team in the Southern loop for over a month at mid-season, Coach Gerry Gerard's lads from East Llrham have hit a snag and have lost three conference games in their last three outings. Feeling the loss of ace play maker and scorer, Dick Groat, the Devils have a rocky road ahead and too many more set backs would seriously jeopardize their chances of being asked to the tournament, an event to which they are hosts. , Still the Dukesters possess plenty of trouble-making ability. Veteran Ceep Youmans has taken over the main point-making chores with consistency in Groat's absence and stands to be the man that the Scottmen must watch. The Duke mentor can also call on a wealth of talented sopho mores, performers of , the Blue Imp cage squad last year, that bnrned up the yearling circuit and from whom great deeds are expected before too many more seasons roll by. Thinlies Entered In Terrapin Meet A twelve-man squad of Caro lina trackmen will journey to j College Park, Maryland, this week-end to compete in the an nual University of Maryland's Invitational Indoor Meet in the University Armory. The team will be accompanied on the trip by Assistant Coach Joe Hilton while Head Coaeh Dale Ranson will remain in Chapel Hill td work with the re mainder of the squad. The Mary land Meet is one which Carolina enters each year, but never sends a very large group to compete. This meet will serve as a warm-up for the Carolina en tries for the annual Southern Conference Indoor Meet here on Feb. 25. The Tar Heels won the championship here last year and rate as very slight favorites to repeat again this year. Fencers Engage In Triangle Meet The Carolina Fencing Club, af ter a week and half of hard prac tice, will go into final preparations this afternoon for the three-way fencing meet to be held in Char lottesville, Va. this Saturday. The meet will consist of teams from John Hopkins, University of Vir ginia, and Carolina. The Tar Heels victory over State and VMI, will throw a re juvenated, and more experienced team against John Hopkins and Virginia. 'Bud' Ager, who fought both epee and sabre against VMI on Feb. 4, will probably get a rest in the sabre department in the Virginia affair due to the fact that Don Williams, No. 1 sabre man, will make the trip. Frosh Swimmers Meet GMA In Bowman Gray Tomorrow Matmen Prep For Citadel; Frosh To Meet Greensboro Coach Jim Hamilton's pow erful frosh cagers yesterday began preparations for their final home game of the cam paign against Duke's Blue Imps in Woollen Friday night in the first game of a twin bill with the Hoopster from Dur ham. Tuesday night the Carolina quint ran its victory string to seven straight wins and pre served its perfect home court record by topping the Wake Forest frosh, 68-51. The victory over the Deac kts gave the locals a 3-1 edge in the four game series with Wake Forest. Against Duke the locals have been victorious in one of the two contests on record. The Tar Babies won, 58-41, in Woollen Gym, but they lost a close, 59-56 affair at Duke. In Tuesday night's game with Wake Forest, the local yearlings had a rough first half, but came back fast to swamp the Deacons after in termission. Three up and coming re serves Gippy Carter, Bill Smith, and Bob Phillips aid ed considerably in the victory. Coach Hamilton cleared the bench in the final minutes of the game, giving everybody a chance to play. BASKETBALL PLAYOFFS All mural basketball teams who are tied for league honors are asked to be on hand prompt ly at 7 o'clock tonight for the playoffs. Carolina's varsity and fresh man wrestlers have been going hard at it all this week as they prepped for their meets this Sat urday night. The varsity is sched uled to meet The Citadel after the frosh play host to Greens boro High. The grapplers have an even record in three matches this sea son with a win, a loss, and a tie.' As far as individual scoring goes, Phil Kemp leads the pack with 11 points. Wrestling in the 155 pound class, Kemp has had a pin and two decisions to his credit. Tom Coxe, 165 man, and Oscar Gupton, wrestling 175, are also undefeated and have gained de cisions in their three matches. It is hard to judge the strength of the Citadel team because com parative scores show nothing. Af ter losing to a mediocre Davidson squad, the Cadets upset a power ful State team, 14-13. Carolina holds an 18-11 victory over Dav idson and tied State, 14-14, in the first meet of the year. From the results of their match es, however, it appears that they are loaded in the lighter weights. In their meet with State, the Cadets took victories in the first three divisions. They then swept the 175 class to, win the meet. Although Coach Chuck Quinlan F-2941 F-2941 Deliveries io Fraternities and Dormitories of FRIED CHICKEN WESTERN STEAKS All Kinds of Sandwiches GRILL and SANDWICH SHOP . F-2941 has not yet decided on his team for Saturday's met, trials at prac tice yesterday showed who would go in a few divisions. Joe Augus tine will again go at heavyweight, after pinning Ray Swigart in the third period yesterday. Joe Aaron also gained a third period fall over Ken Hoffman and will re turn to 136. In the other tryout Bob Randall decisioned S. R. Young to remain top man in the 121 division. I he freshman will be going against Greensboro High in their fourth meet. The frosh are led by light-heavyweight Miles Greg ory in scoring and will be going after their third win Saturday. State handed them their only loss in the first match. , Close behind Gregory, who has had two pins and a decision for 13 points, are Ken Stuckey and Willard Ransdall with 10 points apiece. Next in line is Keith Trox ler with 8 points. Troxler suffered a defeat in the State meet when he was wrestling out of his class The Georgia Miiltary Academy swimming team will invade "Yankeeland" tomorrow when they meet Coach Bob Ousley's frosh natators in Bowman Gray pool at 4 p. m. The "Peach Staters" will be without stwo of their 1949 stars, Bruce Fountain and Paul God frey, who are now performing for the local mermen. Tomorrow's encounter will be a warm up for the GMA swim mers who will participate in the Fourth Annual Southern Inter scholastics on Saturday morning and afternoon in the local pool. Fountain, captain of last year's Georgia team, will probably face his former teammates in the 300 medley relay and the freestyle relay. The trio of Buddy Baarcke, Barry Wall, and Fountain will again splash through the twelve lap race in an attempt to lower the National Collegiate freshman record which they missed last week by eighteenths of a second Paul Godfrey, another former Georgia merman, will swim in the breaststroke against Coach Fouts' squad. Put Davis, who just missed the local freshman record in the 200 breaststroke in the meet against William and Mary on Saturday, will accompany Godfrey in that department. The distance and sprint events will again be held down by Stan Tinkham and Don Evans, Rick Levy, and. Herman Heyn respec tively. The Georgia squad's strength is not know but the visitors placed third in the strong field in the Inter-scholastic meet last year. This meet replaces the meet with Sewanee prep which was originally scheduled to face the Tar Babies. All Work Guaranteed Watch and Jewelry Repairing Thomas J.
