CAROLINA BOXERS
HAVE K. 0. KING

CHAPEL, HILL, Jan. 26.-Wal-
tar * o. Kraus, the human stick
NJ INT. is the current sensation
If the North Carolina boxing team,
which meets Virginia in Char
lottesville Satu1 day for the unof-
fetal Dixie title.
The 175-pound Viz transfer from
Wisconsin has scored two knock
outs so far, but his total time IN
the ring has been only 3 minutes
5 seconds.
Both clubs rank with the unde-
,feated leaders in the South and
East. Carolina kayoed Maryland,
which beat Army, which beat Penn
State And Virginia handed Caro-
lima Pre-Flight its only licking in
two years.
"Kayo," who packs mules
kick in both hands and throws
punches like windmill. exploded
all over his Citadel opponent in
his first ring appearance here,
scoring knockout in just I min
ute IL SECONDS.
Last week against Maryland was
the same story. The Tar Heels
one-man cyclone sWarmed all over
his rival, sending him down under
hail of blows in 1852.
Coach Joe Murnick says Kraus
is one Of the fastest and hardest
hitting light heavyweights he ever
saw in college circles, but Muir
nick is constantly after him to box
more and punch less.
The Tar Heels stick Of dyna-
mite will be up against Merle De-
buskey, the Virginia football star,
this week, and if he goes in wide
open and singing as usual, he
might easily run into a haymaker
himself.
From all indications. however,
it'll be scrap from start to fin
ish, and there's a good chance it
will be the featur of the whole
meet.
Kraus, who lives in Amery, Wis,
boxed one year for the University
of Wisconsin freshmen, coming to
Carolina as Viz transfer sea-
man.
He was reserve center on the
football squad for a time, but
dropped the gridiron sport in mid
season to get in shape for boxing.

SWEDE HACBERC
MAY COACH NAVY

ANNAPOLIS, Mr., Jan. 20. -(R)
- Almost everyone but the Navy is
willing to admit, or even declare,
nat sub skipper "Swede" Hag-
berg is to be the new Navy foot
ball coach, but the Navy itself
won't say thing until everything
is absolutely official.
From varied sources better than
those usually termed reliable came
word today that the 35-year-old
former Navy varsity fullback and
end as we'll as end coach, formally
known as Comdr. Oscar Emil Had
berg Of Follansbee, w. Va, had
been chosen TO succeed Capt. John
E. (Billick) Whelchel as the Naval
Academy's head coach.
Hagberg has been on submarine
duty in the Pacific for many
months
But whether it's Hagberg- or
someone else-who coaches Navy's
1914 team, one thing seems GER
tain. 1t is potentially one Of the
greatest outfits in Navy hisory.
That was the opinion of Capt.
Whelchel, who is little given to
beating the dunn and whose 1943
eleven bowed only to Notre Dame.
And most OF that squad will be
back next season.
The six-foot, one-inch Hagberg,
a native OF Pennsylvania, came to
the naval academy from Bethany
NV. Va.), college in 1928, grad
uating in 1881.
In 1882, Hagberg helped coach
the West Coast fleet football team,
then in 1898 and 1884 was varsity
end coach at the Academy as well
as First lieutenant" Of physical
training. He returned as varsity
end coach under Emory E.
"Swede" Larson for the 1899 sea-
son.

something. I cannot see how any
one can say the Reds are the
team to be beaten. Who can tell
from day to day what his team
will be like
Sure, we have some good pitch
ing. Our defense is also ok, but
it is not the safest thing to pick
a pennant winner on.
Another baseball great, Jimmy
Foxx, was turned down today at
the induction center. The reason
for his rejection was not an
nounced, but the infielder and
slugger extraordinary had been
suffering from sinus trouble which
partly forced his retirement from
professional baseball. He is now
living in Short Hills.

sinistic view OF the prospects for
the 1914 season today but only a
few wanted to use a corner OF
Breadons crying towel.
The Cardinals president said
yesterday it was questionable
whether his club would have
enough men to operate this year.
Breadon estimated that 10 players
was the minimum number with
which club could 60 through
the season and added that he could
not depend on having that many
for the start of the campaign in
April.
Other national league club heads
took Just the opposite stand, hint
ing at the same time that they
wouldn't mind being as well fixed
for players as the Cards, while
only william 0 Dewitt, vice-presi-
dent Of the St. Louis Browns, and
Roger Peckinpaugh, vice president
Of the Cleveland Indians, ap-

Dewitt added that clubs prob
ably would not assume the ex-

was a likelihood that their teams
would melt away in the draft.
