are regarded as lined up against pop?

with tho Democrats against the closed

Recognizing that Mr. Borah had the

Tarheel Quint Defeats Wake

Chapel Hill, February ?In a game ,
* 1 f busketball, Carolina won from Wake 1
Forest to-riight, 31 to
Tho game, was llorce from the first
whistle, and throughout the socorid
half it was anybody's game. Carolina
bad the lead alt the way. hut seldom
lor more than three points.
At tho end of the tlrst half the score
stood, Car/tllnn, 16; Wake Forest, 0.
Although the game had been close,
Carolina's lo.vi had boon safe nil the
time, and the excitement hud no;
reached the pitch to which it got when :
the visitors eurho hack in tin: second
half and brought their score up to
within two points of Carolina. Caro?
lina's defen.se had strengthened, but
Wake Forest's offenso had become more
formidable. Time and again Carol inn
would race down the flour for a load
ot four points, only to hnvo the Bap?
tists score a difficult goal, and put their
lead in danger again.
ft was hustle, fight, nil the time, and
it was in the fighting that Carolin;;
was superior. Wake Forest, undoubt?
edly knew more basketball, they had
better team work, and went down the
floor more easily, but thoy missed ;i
lot of ons.y chances.
Carolina's defense tva ? ragged in the
first, half, and Wake Forest's failure
to score more points, was due to their I
inability to shoot goals under fire.
Turner starred for Wake Forest ami I
Dowd did well. !r was the whole team
for Carolina; When the. time came
every rnbn was there. They got the1
bankets when they had to have them.
In the last two minutes, Wake
