November 14, 1947 THE TWIG Page Three SportA the By B. J. JOHNSON The hockey team was literally “on the ball” this past Tuesday, November 4, at Chapel Hill, despite the slippery turf. In the first two minutes of the game Marty Davis “chalked up” a 1-0 score. Besides the forward line, starring Peggy Patrick, “Lefty” Pugh, Catherine Carpenter, Imo- gene Narron,and Marty Davis, who played well throughout the game, the two fullbacks, Jane Middleton and B. J. Shuler, turned in creditable perform ances. According to a report of The Daily Tar Heel, “a pair of Meredith goalies came up with a total of nine saves.” Incidental ly, this certain Tar Heel article has stimulated the players and presented such a challenge that the “angels” hope to redeem themselves by having the Caro lina Coeds return “the bow” that we were said to have given them when they beat us 3-1. The final curtsies will be made soon when the two teams will meet again on the Carolina hockey field.

"THOSE ALMIGHTY PLATTERS" By SAM DONAHUE As long as your Editor has given me this space to fill any way I please, I’d like to get off my chest a few things that have been in the back of my mind for quite some time. I’m going to try to discuss a subject matter that for the past few months has been a major top of conversation throughout the music trade — records, disc-jockeys, and juke boxes. As far as I am concerned, rec ords, disc-jockeys, and juke boxes are positively the powers behind the making of a band, a vocalist or any musical outfit to day, and there’s no getting away from that fact. There was a time when bands were built strictly through the medium of late-at-night network broadcasts. Some pretty well- known bands wouldn’t hesitate to work for peanuts at any kind of a spot where network broad casts were included in the deal. Times have changed, however, and those stations that used to carry remote airings now have a disc-jockey spinning the platters and have an even greater listen ing audience than ever before. I was with Harry James’ band in 1940, a year or so before he made a record called “You Made Me Love You.” The public just didn’t pay any attention to Harry’s band, and on many oc casions Harry was just about ready to call its quits. Well, Harry stuck with it and hit the most to the Equitation Club. A cup, now on display in the show case in the library, was given to the winner, Mary McCoy. Doris Witherspoon, Monogram Club president, awarded mono grams to the following girls who have obtained one thousand points by participation in ath letics. Sunshine Bellamy, Ann Josey, Ruth Summerlin, and Jolene Weathers.

The members of this quartet are Guilio Gari, tenor; Attilio Baggiore, tenor; Vernon Sanders, baritone, and Bruce Mackay, bass. Gari, who made his American debut at the New York City Center in Wagner’s “The Flying Dutchman,” is not only a singer but is an athlete, who loves swimming and fishing and who collects stamps in his spare time. Baggiore, who is an American tenor, has appeared on the Swift, General Motors, and the Chase and Sanborn radio programs in addition to his own weekly pro gram. He is a confirmed bache lor, who professes a liking for good food, good painting, good books, and good movies. Vernon Sanders, baritone has a typical American back ground. He spent his boyhood in Hooper, Nebraska, where he got his very early training singing in the church choirs and in gram mar school and high school op- perettas. The last of the four, Bruce Mackay, a six-foot Scotch-Cana- dian, who became an American citizen and graduated from Po mona College in California, has done radio work, as well as op eratic work for the San Fran cisco Opera Company. As to his other accomplishments, he is considered to be a wonderful cook. These four, as a quartet, have developed a repertoire of familiar classics and ballads; their music varies from opera to operetta. top when he came up with those records. If you look back, you’ll note that every one of our top artists came into prominence on the strength of a hit record, or a series of hits. Try as you will, there’s no definite formula for the making of a hit record. On the contrary, it’s usually the arrangement that you think the least of when you record it that busts wide open and becomes a hit. And, some where along the line, you’ll usually find one or more disc- jockeys connected with the suc cess of a hit record. Imagine my surprise when my manager came to me a few months ago with a copy of “I Never Knew,” telling me to make up an arrangement in a real sweet vein and excitedly declaring that the song was to be revived as the background mood music in two new pictures, “Johnny O’clock” and “Blaze of Noon.” We went ahead and re corded the thing for Capitol, but I never thought “I Never Knew” would have any appeal in a sweet arrangement. Well, I got an awful big surprise when our record of “I Never Knew” clicked with the pubhc, and the success of this record has cer tainly meant a great deal to us. So, that’s the way it is with those records, and whenever I hear anyone make a disparag ing remark about records, disc- jockeys or jukeboxes, I feel Rke inviting that guy to meet me out in the alley to straighten out our differences of opinion.
