quarter the Gainesville team was
offered free shots, any one of

count, but on each occasion the
ball fell wide of its mark.
Mahan failed to count in the
for the second semeter’s work. The
two are Kenneth “Red” Purcell,
who lettered five successive sea-
• sons as a member of the Leopard
squad, and Fred "Doggie” McCain,
holder of at least three letters
from the same outfit. Both boys
are big and husky, have had years
of experience in the sport and
should be able to make the Gentle-
men squad. Because of their abil-
ity on the gridiron they now have
, the opportunity to secure a college
education and we feel sure both
will take advantage of this oppor-
tunity. They both have many
friends here who will be pulling for
their success, none more than the
writer. “Red” informs us that
should they attend this semester
and the summer school, they’ll be
- eligible to play on the varsity team
next season. This isn't true in the
Southwest Conference, but all
conferences don't follow the same
rules. Both boys will participate
in the Spring football workouts.

WE’VE NEGLECTED to men-

squad, now busily engaged in grid
training, is Bill Culp, former star
guard and captain of the Leopards.
Bill didn’t go out for freshman
football but is taking part in the
Spring work and will be eligible
for the varsity next season. He
tells us that he’s classed as a
guard but might be used as a
blocking back. We remember he
was unusually good at blocking
here with the Leopards; even
though he did play guard, so he
should have little trouble learning

NEW YORK, Feb. 17 (AP).-
The various sectional basketball
races, objects of intense interest
since the teams ended their inter-
national “barnstorming” last
month, are approaching a settle-
ment. The next question that
arises is "who are the leading can-
didates for the 1941 national
titles?”
Obviously the teams that al-
ready have virtually clinched their
conference titles rate first consid-
eration. These are Arkansas, un-
beaten in eight. Southwest confer-
ence games; Stanford-and Wash-
ington State in the two divisions
of the Pacific Coast conference;
Wyoming-in the Big Seven; North
Carolina in the Southern confer-
ence and Kentucky in the South-
eastern loop.
North Carolina and Kentucky
can’t win their titles outright but
have to go through the ordeal of
defending them in tournament play
starting Feb. 27. They’re both out-
standing favorites, however,’ as the
Tar Heels haven’t lost in 12 con-
ference games and Kentucky has
won its last five to move into first
place after a bad start.
Other Good Prospects
Other teams that look like good
bets were Kansas in Big Six and
Wisconsin in the Big Ten. Creigh-
ton and Drake are tied for first
place in the Missouri Valley con-
ference while Dartmouth suf-
fered its first Eastern league loss
at Cornell’s hands last Saturday
and now has a battle on its hands
against Columbia as well as the
Cornellians. Wisconsin’s margin
over Indiana is slender, but the

Failure of Locals
At Free-Th row Line
Gives Era Victory
The Gainesville High Leopards
were eliminated in the playoff for
the county basketball title, Satur-
day night, when they were nosed
out, 15 to 14, by Era High on the
latter team’s court.
The victory for Era entitles that
club to oppose Bulcher, winner of
Class C championship, for the
county title. This game has been
tentatively set for Tuesday night,
but the place has not yet been an-
nounced.
It was the failure of Coach Na-
bors’ dribblers to hit the net from
the free-throw line that caused
their downfall, making good on
but four of the 19 charity shots
offered them. They likewise failed
to sink four or five crip-shots any
one of which would have won the
ball game.
Principally through Mahan's
three field goals, the Leopards led
in the first half. 9 to 6, but the Era
