North Carolina, Duke university,
Maryland, South Carolina v. P.
I. N. c. State, Davidson and Rich
mond were chosen today by the
Southern Conference basketball
committee to participate in the an.
nual loop tournament here Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday.
North Carolina. victorious in nine
of 10 conference games, was plac-
ed in the top seeded position on the
basis of its overall season record.
Duke which lost tow loop tits to
the top-seeded Tar Heels, was CIV
en- second billing.
No other seedlings were announc-
ed by the committee, but members
of that body generally agreed that
the University Of South Carolina
and Richmond, both Navy Viz
powered clubs, would hold third
and fourth place favorite roles in
tourney speculation because OF
their better cecords.
The committee, headed by Eddie
Comeron, athletic director at
Duke arranged pairing of the
clubs for firs,-~ound games so that
the four Navy teams could ar
range travel schedules to conform
with Navy 48-hour limitation reg
ulation governing player absences
from home stations.
Under this arrangement, V. P.
l. will meet Davidson's Wildcats
at p. M, Thursday in the open
ing game, and N. c. States Red
Terriers will engage Maryland at
$50 p. m. all are civilian teams.
Two other first round games, all
involving Navy manned teams,
will be played Friday afternoon.
North Carolina will meet Rich
mond at 2:30, and Duke will meet
South Carolina at 4 p. IN.
From there on out. the pairiags
follow the us'<'l Journey schedule.
Semi-final rounds will be held Fri.
day night, beginning at 8 o'clock.
The championship affair will be
staged at o'clock Saturday
nieht.
The committee. composed OF
Comeron Norman Shepard of
Davidson, J. L. Vongloha of N.
c. State. Monk Younger of v. P.
L.. and Burton Shipley of Mary
land, agreed at y preliminary con-
ference hat the usual plan of Sc
lecting competing teams and the
regulations under which they are
seeded and paired. would have to
be abandoned this year due to wa
time difficulties.
Comeron, declaring that all con-
ference schools still active in bas-
ketball had expressed desire to
continue the annual event, said
that further changes in the present
pai-ings may be necessary if
travel complications occur at any
time during the three-day event.
The committee agreed, however.
that the caliber of play this year
will not be impaired because of
the manpowe- shortage. The equal
distribution of civilian and Navy
VIZ teams will serve to pair teams
Of comparative strength. Close
games were predicted.

NEW DELHI,-(DelayeO -(R'-
Elimination of the extremely con-
servative War Minister Ho Wing
chin is looked upon in American
circles here as a bright develop
ment in Chinese affairs - which
probably has come too late.
His successor, Gen. Chen Cheng,
was considered by Gen. Joseph
Stilwell to be one of the brightest
military men in China, and until
he was removed for political and
other reasons, was in charge
of Chinese forces on the Salween
front which StilWell had built up
to help open new Burma road.
Chang Kai-shek's cabinet shake
up appeared to be an effort to
rescue a Central Government sit
uation brought about not only by
a clash with the Americans, re-
sulting in the ousting Of Stilwell,
but by military defeats in central
China and the consequent adverse
effect on currency.
Information available in New
Delhi, the sources Of which can
not be disclosed, indicate that the
fighting in the Pacific and Asia
is going to take on strange and in
terestng turns before the war
grows much older.
Despite sparks Of dissension
among America, Russia and Brit
ain over Persian oil, cooperation
among the three nations on strict
ly military grounds is described
here as much closer than the pub
lie may suppose.
How extensive that cooperation
will continue after Germany Is IL
