Chapel Hill, March 3.-The Uni

The Tar Heels won one Southern
Conference championship and two
State titles.

in accomplishments. The 1889 track

victory over II of the Leagues out

Lawrenceville here in the first meet
ing of the teams. -....s
The squad scored total of 759
points during the season, 344 through
field goals, II by free throws. The
team committed 149 fouls.
The team is one Of the best in the
history of the school, and many who
can recall the great ter.sas of 1923
and 1924 think the present aggre-
cation topped those.
On the early teams were. such stars
as Lefty Finch Payne, Ruth John
son Prillman, center and side-center;
Mary Lou Fuller Blackwelder, and
Daisy Lowry Breedlove, forwards,
and Alice Falkner Allen and Doris
Shearin, guards. This team was
coached by Mrs. Ruth Roth Rypins.

Coach Bob Harrison, who made
the compilation, stated the young
lady scored 207 field goals, Il free
throws in the So quarters she par
tlcipated. A total of 70 quarters were
played by the Henderson team, and

II ERE'S an encouraging word to
IL the woman whose wardrobe up
keep must needs be held down to
limited budget. The skirt with con-
trast tops leads the style program
this season. With the separate skirt
or simple foundation dress and
flock of f1attering sweaters, jackets
and blouses tuned to occasion you
can dress as well as the next one
and not be extravagant especially if
you make your own"
Here's hoping the suggestions Of
fered in the accompanying illustra-
ton will prove an inspiration to get
busy sewing, knitting and embroi-
dering on a wardrobe of pretty
things that will carry you trium-
phantly through the season from the
dress standpoint.
Let's start with the right skirt
to wear with the right top accom-
paniment. It is easily possible te
carry on well-dressed appearance
with two skirts in ones wardrobe,
a wool or crepe for routine wear
plus velvet or handsome crepe or
slipper satin weave for more for
NAL wear. However, you can 60 as
far as you like in laying in a supply
of skirts and then not have too many
if you go a lot. A tweed, a colorful
plaid, pleated-all-round type, a
smartly fashioned crepe or satin for
day with a floor-length velvet or
crepe for evening formality, are
none too many.
Of course, with your tweeds and
your plaids you will want a swank
utilitarian sweater. The model pic
tured to the left in the group is cas-
lily knit. You will love it because it
is so unusual. 1t has style distinc-
ton written all over it in that it is
knit in different way, using two
patternings that contrast a vertical
and horizontal handling. A soft
wool yarn in delectable deep rasp-
berry pink is used for the knitting
of this clever sweater.

reaching for that additional inch.
There are new goals to shoot at,
however. Glenn Cunningham ran
the mile in. 4:04.4 to establish a
world record, and Johnny Wander
Nicer electrified the baseball world
by pitching two successive no-hit
games.
The United States had a banner
year in international competition,
aside from the loss of the Walker
cup and two or three other scat
tered reverses. 1t defended the Da-
Wis cup in easy manner, and its
track team showed under the NaZis
in a dual meet at Berlin, winning
IA to first places and losing
only one track event.
The English grand national went
to Battleship, an American-bred
jumper, and Flares, with no rating

ship, and the native American-in-
tested Chicago Black Hawks came
through in the playoffs to capture
hockey's Stanley cup.

Speeding of Sports-
Sports Veterans
Duplicate Wins
In 1897 Events
By ROBERT McSHANE

I OOKING back over the past year
~ in sports, Mr.. Average Fan is
somewhat amazed to see so many
champions stay at the head of the
field. Though there were many up
sets, equally as many topnotchers
increased the prestige which they
had gained in previous years.
That does not mean that there
were no new champions crowned,
no records broken. 1t does mean
that 1888 lacked some of the ex-
plOsivenesS of other years.
For instance, Joe Louis didn't win
the heavyweight title in, 1888, he
merely kept it well in hand, and
gave good accounting of himself.
America merely kept the Davis cup
again this year, and didn't bring it
to this country. Don Bulge again
cannonaded his way through the
opposition, repeating his victories
of the previous year. The Yankees
certainly did nothing new in blanket
ing the rest of baseball. At least
nothing new for them. Ralph Gull
dahl won the open golf champion
ship for the second consecutive
year. Seabiscuit (and this is a
touchy point) stayed at the top, and
beat new competition in driving
down the track ahead of War Ad-
miral.
Two marks which were threat
ened during the past year, but which

If it's something a wee bit dress
Ter you are wanting, touch of gay
hand-embroidery will do just that.
See what can be done in the way of
intriguing embroidery in the sweat
er blouse below to the right. The
model pictured is knitted of rust red
wool and the embroidery is done
in riotous flower colors.
Coming to the dressier modes,
handsome laces of every type and
description make the news head
lines for blouse and jacket and boz
lero fantasies in big way. It's
almost like magic the way bit of
lace transforms into a jacket or
blouse masterpiece and even if you
are not an expert in making things,
charming jacket-blouse or bolero
as pictured can be put together with
little effort. A collection of lace
tops will array you DANGEROUSLY
wherever you go.
A lace bolero does wonders in
dressing you up, and does it click
charmingly with last years frocks!
It is never so welcome and useful
as at the tail-end of winter when
you are feeling a bit jaded with
dark dresses and feel the need of
something to perk them up. Tae
carickmacross lace bolero which
you see pictured above to the right
will sound a refreshing new note for
your wardrobe. Scalloped all around
the edges it silhouettes effectively
against the background of black
dress in either street or evening
length.
A dress-up jacket-blouse to be
worn with skirt or suit lends allure
to your formal afternoon or eve
ming costume. You can get the fine
leaf-patterned lace that fashions the
jacket-blouse pictured below to the
left in ravishing colors or in black.
The glittering rhinestone buttons
complete the formal look.
