TAR HEELS UPSET
BY DEVILS, 5l-46

CHAPEL HILL, Jan. s.-tP-
Showing surprising finesse and an
iron-clad defense, Dukes Blue
Devils handed North Cardinals
favored Tar Heels a 81 to as set
back tonight in a Southern confer
ence game which went into an
extra period.
It was the Tar Heels first con-
ference loss and their second Of
the season against some Of the ma
TONS top competition.
The Blue Devils, taking the play
away from Coach Ben Carnevale's
veterans, jumped into an early
lead, only to lose it five minutes
after the game opened. But with
Rangy Ed Koffenberger and Dick
Whiting turning in good defensive
work, the Blue Devils regained
the lead and ran the score to q
| to IS at the intermission.
The final half was a typical
Duke-Carolina battle. The lead
changed hands no less than four
times, with the Tar Heels going
into a 40 to So lead with less than
two minutes remaining in the reg
ular playing time. Then Koffen-
berger and Whiting tied it up with
field goals, with the score 40-al
when the final whistle blew.
During the extra five-minute
period, the neck and neck race
continued. 1t was tied up again
45-45 with two minutes left. Then
Dick Whiting, newcomer veteran
to the Blue Devil squad, took the
game In hand. He dribbled in
for two quick Grips to put the
game on ice for the Methodists.
The Tar Heels, rated among the
: nations best, were stymied in
their favorite domain-under the
backboards - by the fighting
Dukes. Using a "merry-go-round"
offense, the visitors overran the
Tar Heels man to man defense,
and they controlled a majority
OF the rebounds.
Together, the Tar Heels missed
II free throws-enough to have
won the game.
With Koffenberger on his heels
constantly, the Tar Heel ace, John
Dillon, was limited to but IA
points. Whiting, assigned to hold
the other scoring ace, Jim Jordan,
in check, limited the rangy Tar
Heel forward to II points.
Koffenberger, Whiting and Bub-
Der Seward returned Duke ace,
played an outstanding floor game.
A capacity crowd of $500 saw
the game.

PROPOSED PROJECT
WOULD RAISE PAR
One STROKE TO Y
Majority Of Revamping
Would Be Made In First
Nine Holes

Cape Fear country club officials
announced yesterday that J. B.
McGoveran, associate Of Donald
Ross, golf architect, will arrive in
Wilmington Friday morning to sur
vey the clubs course in anticipa-
ton of $4,000 improving and
revamping project.
The program, designed to give
the local course one of the finest
layouts in this section of the state,
calls for the scrapping or changing
of seven fairways and greens on
the clubs first nine holes and re-
placing them with seven others.
Gilbert S. Arthur, chairman of
the greens committee has been
quoted as saying that the present
first nine holes of the course would
be elimated with land comprising
No. S through 8 being sold for
building property.
The addition to the present course
will consist of land in the area be-
tween the present course and
Greenfield Lake.
Although present plans call for
most Of the proposed changes taxi
ing in the first nine holes of the
course, other plans will be follow
ed if they prove to be more advan-
tageous, Arthur said.
I Arthur estimated that the pro-
ject will take about IL months.
In detailing the program he said,
the only holes in the first nine
which will not be changed are the
first and second. The other cups
according to present plans will be
increased in yardage from the pre-
sent $500 to about 1000. Par will
be pegged one stroke higher, plac-
ing it at u.
In addition, the new layout will
Iengthen present par four holes.
The specifications call for two new
par three holes, two new five, and
three new four.
On the back nine the present No.
Is hole would be changed and re-
duced from five to four. Other
plans calls for the inclusion OF a
par three hole using the 18th green
and increasing the length OF the
present No. IA.

goes.

in the Ohio river near the town Of
Pomeroy. One morning we went

Ripley would say "believe it OF

four feet long Laundering in the
water, well hooked.
The gator was shipped to the
Cincinnati Zoo but not before two
fellows had the very Oh" scared
out of them.
The only explanation we ever
arrived at for the presence Of the
gator in the water was that it had
escaped from a show boat or a
steamboat crew had brought it up
from New Orleans way and it had
been thrown overheard by them
near the place of the catch.

BY SID FEEDER

NEW YORK, Jan. o. Up - The
National Football league says it
has no immediate fight with the
brand new All-America conference,

underneath the regular order of

Mostly, the talk was about what
Chicago Bears Owner George Halas

official pointed out today that al
though the new loop has signed up
''35 Of our players, there's only
one we really wanted" This one is
Norman Standlee, the fullback
bonecrusher. The AAC San Fran
cisco club recently announced it
had taken Norman from under the
Bears collective nose.
"They're welcome to all of the
others they signed" this official
said.
However, it was obvious that the
National league was preparing fol
any similar future moves by the
All-America. 1t was learned tina
