the patient work of Coach Red

When Joe Goroon, Phil Rizzup

puzzled the experts. What was
Manager Joe Mccarthy going to do
with his best hitter and prize base

other wartime ball player to be
shelved when the regulars return

the answer all the time.
AS soon as StirnWeiss ended his
holdout siege and joined the Yanks
on their return from Panama, Nc
Carthy sent George to the hot
corner and asked the veteran Rolfe
to help him out. Stirnweiss could

STARTS INVASION

Phantoms "Not Overcon-
fident But Determined"
To Down Violets

CHAPEL HILL, March 10. -Re
Not a bit overconfident but de-
terrnined, the University OF North
Carolina basketball squad was re-
ported fit mentally and physically
as the team left here Tuesday for
Greensboro where they boarded
train for New York and the NCAA
national championship tourney.
Most of the Carolina supporters
here feel that the Phantoms will
be in. the underdog role, at least
psychologically, in the meeting
with New York University Thurs
day night, despite the fact the Tar
Heels edged out the Violets by a
two-point margin in their Christ
mas holiday meeting.
Reason for this feeling is that the
Violets repeatedly have shown
great improvement since that first
meeting. Moreover, they will be
determined to avenge that first
licking and they will be smarting
under the upset defeat handed
them recently by City College OF
New York. North Carolina and City
College were the only teams to
beat the Violets all season, their
record standing 25-2.
Since the first New York meet
ing the Violets have been strength
ened by the addition of Debonis,
standout at forward, who was so
good that he beat out Goldstein for
a regular berth. The Tar Heels
will also have in Bones Mckinney,
center, a regular who was not
available for the first meeting
with the Violets.
The Phantoms took their final
home workout this afternoon and
will take their last pre-tourney
drills in Madison Square Garden
this afternoon.
They will miss little, if any, time
from class work, for spring holl-
days begin tomorrow and will con-
tinue through the weekend.
Indications were that a large
number of Tar Heel supporters
will be on hand for the New York
tourney, although there would be
many more if tickets were avail
able. Only 300 tickets were sent
here to be placed on sale, and these
had been sold before they arrived.
In addition to coaches and play
ers, the Carolina party leaving
for New York tonight included as
sistant Athletic Director Charlie
Erickson, Publicity Director R. W.
Madry, Carroll Popham and Irwin
Smallwood, co-sports editors Of the
