1t was Mrs. wolcott who recalled
that Jack was in Baltimore, and not

Maybe the masked man was somebody

Investigating the fire. it was found
to have started in three separate
places in the cellar. none Of them

robber entered the basement through
the outside door, which had not been
locked for years, and started the fires
to divert attention while he dashed
in the front door and seized the
pocketbooks. But for MacGregor, he
would have succeeded in securing all
three.
At that point, Miss Wolcott an

N. c. BOXERS SET FOR MATCH
NoVdk Lives Up
To Reputation
0nC0urt

Some 5000 basketball fans who
yesterday watched Loyola (Chi-
cago) defeat George Washington
University, 36-34, today are not
at all satisfied that the Chicago
ans are the better team. The more
the fans think it over, the more
they feel that, should the two
teams meet again, G. w. would be
returned the winner.
Fans Mistake Whistle
The game was a riotouS affair
from beginning to end. To climax
the situation, the crowd, near the
end of the contest, Swarmed on
the floor miStaking a whistle for
the insertion of substitute for
the final whistle. Officials of the
contest were forced to halt the
game to send the fans back to
their seats.
Mike Novak, touted as one Of
basketball's greats, proved no dud.
On the very contrary, Big Mike
came through in astonishing
fashion. The 6-foot9-inch lad
from Chicago showed the way for
his mates throughout the game
and time and again, due to his
tremendous height, knocked down
the ball when it seemed certain
two points would be registered for
the Colonials.
Sensational Rally
A lastminute rally proved SEN
sational and had the crowd on
edge. With less than seven min
utes left to play, the score stood:
Loyola %, G. w. IT. Then things
began to happen, and it looked
very much as if the ColonialS
would win. However, Novak, by
now q tired player, rallied long
enough to knock down enough
G. w. shots to keep the G. w.
team from going into the lead.
While rallying in the dying mo-
mentS of the contest, Novak also
succeeded in scoring three points
himself, enough to give his team
victory.

To Triumph

Whipped in three of its five dual
meets this season, North Carolina's
boxing team nevertheless figures
to create trouble in the Southern
Conference tournament which gets
under way Friday afternoon at
Ritchie Coliseum, College Park,
Md, and many fans feel the idea
Of the Tarheels winning the event
is not far.fetched.
The undefeated Maryland and
Duke teams naturally have been
installed as co-favoriteS, but North
Carolina, with Max Novich, de-
Tending champion in the 1856
pound division; Joe Murnick,
crack featherweight, and julie Med
win, talented 155-pounder, included
in it's entry list of six fighters, def
nitely is a threat.
Undefeated Star
Novich, who tro unced Alex
Males, of Maryland, this season,
Is undefeated in five fights, while
Murnick has won four battles in
as many starts. Medwin, who
handed Mike Lombardo, Of Mary
land, one Of his two losses this
year, has split even in four tiffs
but generally is regarded as the
cream of a none too brilliant lot
Of senior welterWeightS.
North Carolina lost to Maryland
and Virginia by 3-5 scores, and was
trimmed by Duke, 2R-5R. The
Tarheels have defeated Virginia
Tech, 41a-31a, and North Carolina
State, SO.
Eugene Woody, a 115-pounder,
looms as the most likely of North
Carolina's other candidates, hav-
ing won three of his four bouts,
losing CAL to Bob Roger, of Duke.
The Tarheels otherwise will enter
Tom Bass, lightweight, and Lanny
Alderman, heavyweight. Bass has
dropped four of his five fights,
gaining a draw in the other, while
Alderman has earned two draws
and lost two bouts.
Every Division
Duke is the only team which
will be represented in every divi-
sion, with Maryland lacking only
o heavyweight. North Carolina
and South Carolina will send six
men each, while v. P. l., Richmond
and Citadel will invade with five
apiece. North Carolina State and
Clemson will make their bid with
four fighters, while Wake Forest
is shipping two hopefuls.
A record entry list of So boxers
will necessitate A. bouts. Contrast
ing with last year, there were A
entries and 36 bouts.
Maryland and Dukes otherwise
perfect records both we're spoiled
by Catholic University, which held
the Terps and Blue Devils to a.
draws. Maryland has won six dual
meets, while Duke has annexed
four.
Tickets to the bouts, priced at
$1.10, $1.65 and 1920 for each Of
the four sessions, are obtainable
at Spalding'S and the University of
Maryland.

Sleuths Lost Only Two
The Sleuths have lost but two
games this season while the Tailors
have won the second half honors
of the Heurich Cup League and
are tied with the Sterling A. c., in
the playoff. The final and second
feature game of the evening will
be a WPA contest with the Dis
trict WPA opposing the Federal
WPA, with the local five slightly
favored.
The District lads have not, be,
cause of illness in their ranks,
been able to display that form
which carried them to the top last
season. However they have scored
victories over such teams as the
Harrisburg MethodistS; Bureau of
Investigation; Abbotts Diaries of
Philadelphia; Rinaldi Tailors:
Naval Training Station Of Norfolk,
conquererS of the University of
Virginia; Sterling A. c.; Bloom.

The Federal WPA has played
a light schedule but it's prowess
indicates that the local five will
be in for a tough scrap. This pro-
gram should produce three of the
outstanding games locally and is
expected to attract a capacity
crowd.

PENSION PROGRAM
GOES INTO EFFECT.
over 20,O00,000 Wage
Farmers Begin to Provide
OId-Age Benefits.

More than 100000 American
wage earners today began to provide
for the future by law as the old-age
benefit provision Of the social security
act went into effect.
For all but few excepted classes
rail, agriculture and welfare workers
principally-the tax that will provide
monthly benefits when they reach IS
became effective.
Employer and employe share this
alike. For the first year it is l per
cent of pay up to $4,000 annually and
of pay roll. The rate graduates up
ward one-half of per cent each three
years until, as of January 1. 1949. it
reaches per cent from each con-
tributor.
On January 1, 1912, the first bene-
fits become due. They will range
from $40 to $85 monthly, depending
on total wages earned.
The employers are charged with col
]ecting the tax from employees and in
some cases these deductions already
are being made against the January
wages. The payments to the Govern
ment must be made monthly by the
last day of the month following that
which the tax represents. That means
that the first returns to the Bureau of
Internal Revenue must be made by
February %.
The Social Security Board expects
that 26,000,000 workers will be en-
rolled under this plan, but the total
can only be estimated until the initial
registration is completed. Applica-
tions from employees still are coming In
to the postal tipping centers which as
sign the individual account numbers
and clear the basic records through to
the Division of Records in Baltimore.
This flow is likely to continue for
some little time. although the second
deadline for receipt of these forms ex-
pired last night. When the last count
was made December % there were
q, 1851 applications in.
In the meantime, States are con-
tinuing to rush through legislation for
unemployment insurance that will al
low them to take advantage Of the 80
per cent slice of the tax the Govern
ment is applying against 1885 pay
rolls for this phase Of social security.
