Pressed a little as to why he let Maranville go and replaced him with Moore, McKechnie said: -“Moore is superior to Maranville in every way, except in his hands. Maranville a wonderful pair of hands. But he has nothing- else on Moore.” It would be odd if the pennant of 1925 should come down to be de- cided on an issue of a pair of honds. Suppose by some chance Maranville's hands should prove enough to make him Moore's superior as a ball player, and it should happen that these two players met in a game on which the ssue of the season hung. There would be something new in base all—hands ve. a whole ball player. But McKechnie has his courage. He staked his chance on the change he has made and is going through with it Then there is Niehaus at first base, right-handed, as against the left-handed Grimm, and with nothing like Grimm's experience as a major leaguer. But he has youth, courage and & knowledge that he ie facing his blg chance. Also, speed is his middle name. They talk of the four horsemen of foot ball, but Bill McKechnie says he has the original four flying buc- caneers, who can outspeed any four horsemen that ever mounted a grid- iron steed And the outfield is far from slow.

TARHEEL BASKETERS KEEP DIXIE HONORS | ATLANTA, Ga. March 4.—North Carolina University basketers still are champlons of the Southern Con- ference. The Tarheels, who gained the tit'e in 1922 and again last vear, held onta the gonfalon last night by defeating Tulane. 36 to 28. in a thrilling contest that was watched by. a throng. The deciding game final pair of 15 starters met was filled with thrife. The scorsa was tied early in the game at 5-all and in the second half was knotted when each team had 22, then 24 and final- 1y at 26. With the score 26-all, Dodderer. McDonald and Cobb made sensational long shots, breaking up the game to all intents and purposes. McDonald added another, which was offset by a goal by Morgan, but the championship was returned to Chapel Hill after the three long heaves had passed through the basket. The Tarheels outsmarted the losers. Tulane devoted much energy to guarding Cobb, Nerth Carolina for- ward. who led the tournament in scoring. with 67 points, but the care devoted to him resulted in neglect of McDonald, his running mate at for- ward, whose work was a deciding feature. During the hectic battling in the second half McDonald negoti- ated five field goals. He scored 13 points in all during the contest E. Henican, runner-up t6 Cobb in scoring, with 61 points, did not lack attention from North Carolina. but in holding him to 10 points, Cobb's total for the night, the Tarheels did not relax their scrutiny on the other Greenbacks. game, in spite of the high ten- sion, was remarkably _clean.
