"Winner Take All" Tiff
Catches Grapplers' Eyes

The added monetary remun-
Grafton for the winner of Fridays
Ward-Coffield bout is certain to
give added action. With the CLEAN
of both purses catching their eye,
the two rowdies are definitely out
for victory. Both the bone bend
ers have agreed to meet on
winner take all'' basis, with the
victor taking both mems shares.
This angle of the bout along
with numerous other factors point
toward a bang-up affray. Ward
was very eager to battle Coffield
again, as he was not satisfied with
the outcome of last weeks scrap.
Ward took this contest on a dis
qualification of the rough Coffield.
The supporting match on the
card is meeting of Jack Dillon
and Pete Mannagoff. Dillon is
toughie hailing from Atlanta, who
makes return to the local ring
after a long absence.
Promoter Bert Causey urged
the mat fans to secure their tickets
in advance to the performance, as
it will aid in avoiding confusion.

BASKETBALL RULE
| CHANGE PROPOSED

CHICAGO, Jan. 17-R)-For the
last year, Bill Chandler, Mar
quette coach, has been champion
ing a rule change which would
permit player charged with
four personal fouls to continue in
the game after three-mlnute
'rest" on the bench.
The proposal so completely cap
tured the fancy of the Chicago
Basketball Writers Association to-
day that it arranged for the Mar
quette-Depaul game at Chicago
Stadium Friday night to be play
ed with it in effect for the first
time Chandler and the young De-
paul coach, Ray Meyer, who still
is smarting from his first defeat
in IA games at Valparaiso Uni
versity Saturday night, agreed to
the experiment.
after the fourth foul has been
called on player" Chandler
said, "he will be required to sit
on the bench Tor a period OF three
minutes before becoming eligible
to return to the game. On every
foul thereafter, he also will have
to sit it out for three minutes be-
fore returning"
Chandler believes that in addi-
ton to giving the aggressive play
err fair break it will increase
the liveliness of the game from
the spectators angle. Players with
three fouls hanging over them,
1t IS argued, will not tend to ease
Off for fear of going out. They
Will be as aggressive as ever, and
maybe more so.
The veteran official, Nick
kearns, said that Chambers pro-
posal would result in games be-
ing played mostly from the free
| throw line.

He drew the parallel of boxer

1.-The Germans are already feel
ing the strain on the eastern front,
and our object must be to tighten
up that strain SO that when the
weakest link snaps the collapse OF

enemy has made an iron ring all
around him, but it's not the same

peared to be shaping up as Ameri-
can forces consolidated their posi-

The powerful Gustav line follows
the Rapido out of the mountains
of central Italy to Casino, thence
along the south bank of the river
to St. Angelo and San Ambrogio,
and from there down the Garigi-

Ella, roughly three miles northeast
of Casino. b..
The Rapido's high banks have

DUKE-HEEL TILT
TO Be HOT One

CHAPEL HILL, Jan.-Carollna
has a slightly better won-and-lost
record. but Duke has played the
harder schedule. The Devils also
nosed out Fort Bragg, which twice
trimmed the Phantoms. Duke
looked better against common Toes
in early season, but Carolina S
margin over Richmond Ar base
last weekend was one point more.
The Devils have the edge IN VIZ
transfer stars and the Phantoms IN
home talent. And both clubs aver
age 6 feet in height and a thrill
a-second in speed.
| There. in a nutshell, is the way
these arch-rivals stack up for their
first annual classic in the Duke
Gym at 8 o'clock Tuesday night.
Duke is the Big Five and Confer
ence favorite, but the Tar Heel
hackers, undaunted as always, are
pulling for an upset. And the only
thing that's certain is it's always
great scrap when Carolina and
Duke hook up on the court, or
anywhere else for that matter.
The arch-rivals ran through their
final polishings today on their own
courts, II miles apart, and were
pronounced to be in good shape
and on edge for the big game by
Co,oboe Dill Toroo on6 Carry
Gerard. The probable lineups, as
announced tonight, were as fol-
lows:
Duke-Bill Wright and Gordon
Carver, forwards: Henry Hyde,
center; and Eugene Bledsoe and
Harry Harner, guards. Carolina
Capt. Bernie Mock and Dick Don
nan, forwards; John Dewell, CEN
ter, and Jack Fitch and Soc Cret-
icos or Buster Stevenson, guards.
Carver is the only Duke vet on
the cosmopolite Blue Devil squad.
Wright played for Tennessee's
Southeastern champs. Bledsoe was
All Southeastern at Mississippi
State. Hyde starred for George
town and Harner for Washington
and Lee. On the other hand, Fitch,
Donnan. and Stevenson are Caro-
lima sophs and Creticos a frosh.
Mock is an ex-State star, and Dew
ell from Southern Methodist is the
only outsider.
Both clubs use set offense with
a lightning break whenever posi-
BILE and a tight combination de-
tense. The Tar Heels average 6
feet IL and the Blue Devils 81,
but Duke has a slight edge in
speed if any.
The leading scorers for the first
13 games each are: Duke-Wright
100, Carver LAB, Bledsoe II, and
Harner 60; Carolina-Mock 1903,
Box 101, Dewell 70, Fitch 70. Car
yer hit q one night, and Wright,
Harner, Box. and Mock have all
hit between Is and 20. Any of the
five might get hot and break up a
ball game almost any night, and
behind them are two fine teams,
painstakingly drilled and keyed to
a fine pitch for this game of
games.

faultless.
Nelson's ch i eff rival, Harold

took second prize with 72-hole
total of 281, six shots behind the
winner but still seven under par.
McSpaden, who won the Los An
