r ALEIGH, N. c., March 7.-south-
ern Conference basket ball his
tory has a chance to repeat itself
here tonight.
Last year the University of North
Carolina and Washington and Lee
were the finalists in the conference
tournament. North Carolina won.
This year the same teams are
finalists again. The top-seeded Vir-
ginia team, however, is favored to
dethrone the North Carolina Caro-
linians.
Washington and Lees Generals
gained the final round by a. 38-to-32
triumph over Maryland last night
the University Of North Carolina Tar
heels came through the semi-final
round by conquering N. c. State,
81 to %.
The Tarheels had narrow escape.
The teams were deadlocked 17-17 at
the intermission and the lead changed
frequently. The game was not de-
cided until the last minutes Of play.
The Washington and Lee victory
was more impressive. The Generals,
who have q perfect conference record
this season, held the lead all the way.
although a Maryland rally toward
the end Of the game proved q serious
threat.
Joe Petite, Washington and Lee
Captain, carried the brunt Of the floor
work and ran up Is points for high
scoring honors.
Wheeler, Maryland substitute guard,
not only led his club in scoring with
five field goals, but his work also
contributed largely to the Old Liners
eleventh-hour rally.

MIR. QUINN believes that his Win
AVA ter trading already has stirred
Boston fans out of the great lethargy
of 1933-1935 inclusive. The new ma
terial, most of it bearing a Brooklyn
trade mark, will change the Bee for
better or worse. Mr.. Quinn Is voting
the straight improvement ticket.
I'VE helped ourselves without hurt
ing Brooklyn" he said. That's the
only way to trade. What's the use OF
cheating somebody? We did a lot OF
square swapping, and both parties are
satisfied"
To sum up the swaps, the Bees
have acquired AL Lopez, catcher;
Tony Cuccinello, second baseman;
John Babich and Ray Benge,
pitchers; Bobby Refs, pitcher-out-
fielder, and . few more.
They have deprived themselves OF
two starting hurlers, Ed Brandt and
Fred Farmhouse, and versatile lett
handed slugger, Randy Moore.
I'VE gave up q lot for Lopez. BE-
cause we needed . catcher bad,
analyzed Trader Quinn. He'll help
us. So will Benge. Benge wasn't
much good to Brooklyn, but he's al
ways pitched well in the Boston
park.
ION the other hand, Moore. who
wasn't helping the Bees, has always
smacked the ball against the right
field fence in Brooklyn. And Brandt
will supply stengel with the SOUTH
paw pitching he needs.
