The University of North Carolina baseball mentors are anxiously watch ing a green mound squad . in indoor workouts, hoping to find at least a pair of capable pitchers for the Tar Heel's tough schedule ahead: The Tar Heels take on more than 30 games this spring and Coach Jim Ashmore has just one letter pitcher to handle the mound burden. " "' Even that one letterman, Jim Ball, a lanky southpaw, was. not a regular last spring. Ball did yoeman service, sandwiching in on the easier, games to gain experience for the "season just ahead. None of the freshman box artists are back and now. Coach Ash more -is digging for young hurlers with might and main. Ray Farris and Jim Magner, both varsity, football stars, are the only boys frpm last year's varsity squad with any mound ambitions. Farris worked as a scruV hurler in practice games last spring, while Magner handled utility assignments in both the" infield and . outfield. Both - boys are of powerful build and may develop into dependable pitchers. The mound candidates are almost an .unknown quantity to " Tar Heel coaches and diamond fans. Jim Burt and .George Hinton both played in field and outfield with the freshman squad last spring, but neither pitched any, not even in practice ball. Burt is a. younger brother of Ed Burt, varsity second sacker for the past two years. ' Other , candidates include Henry Johnson, former high school star from FENCERS MET BIRDS TONIGHT .

University Junior May Obtain Patent On New Invention Complete Plans Have Been Submitted; Will Not Divulge Details Instances of a girl of one religion marrying a man of another are f re quent. And it is often that Irish and Jew ish families are brought together through the bonds of matrimony. "In those instances, a wonderful spirit of tolerance is displayed by, the men and women of the families," de clares Anne Nichols, author and pro ducer of "Abie's Irish Rose," made into a Paramount screen attraction, and now showine at the ' Carolina theatre. ; , "It was from such a case that I got my inspiration for the story of 'Abie.' "After I had written it, I assembled a cast of able players, among them Bernard Gorcey who had been doing a big part in 'Katinka,' an Arthur Hammerstein production. " I explained the plot to each of the players, and it was then that I learned that Gorcey, who went to the synagogue regularly, had - some time before married Josephine Con don, an Irish girl. "The story of Mr. and Mrs. Gor cey reads not unlike that of iry cen tral characters in 'Abie's Irish Rose.' "Gorcey kept secret from his par ents the fact that he had married one of another religion, and hi3 wife did likewise. When.it came to the "dis covery of the marrige, efxh family took the news like Trojans and took the girl and boy into their hearts. "That spirit of tolerance is just what I have been trying to further for years. There is too much bigotry and racial misunderstanding in this country. It should be eliminated, and if I can help with 'Abie's Irish Rose,' I will be extremely happy." Anne Nichols was, the advisory supervisor on the .Paramount Pro duction of "Abie's Irish Rose," which was directed by Victor Fleming, with Charles Rogers and Nancy. Carroll as the featured players. : Earlie Sanderson, a junior in the University, may soon obtain a patent from the United States Patent Office on Jan invention which he has worked and studied upon for about , three years. Now, after thorough experi mentation, he believes that he has it perfected. " A complete plan of the, invention has been" submitted to apatent at torney in Washington, who tells. San derson that it is subject to patent protection. He says that it would be much "to' Sanderson's advantage to get the patent as soon as possible. The inventor' refuses to announce the exact nature of his invention, but it will, he claims, have universal ap plication. He believes that he has something "worked up which will, be a success and that if it .does it will revolutionize a certain phase of in dustry. . . v. "'.

This game, a full sixty-minute tussle, is. carded for Kenan Memorial Stadium here on Saturday after noon at 2:30 o'clock. " v. Pete Wyrick, field general for the "Monogram' Men," broke in , as varsity quarterback last fall, and though just a sophomore he rates among the coolest young generals in. the Southern Confer ence. Practically all of the Tar Heel scoring last fall was done with Wyrick at the helm, and his cool judgment will be a valuable asset for the University veterans next Saturday. ' Stacked against Wyrick, the "Youngsters" will present the sawed-off Johnnie Branch. Branch called signals to the freshman team last fall and was a big fac tor in the Tar Babies' emerging from their schedule as undef eat- ted South Atlantic champions. In addition to his quarterback duties, Branch represented close to fifty percent, of the Tar Baby running attack. Football experts -who saw Branch in action in several games last fall classed him as one of the. outstanding backs in the East, and already Tar Heel backers are talking of his prob able value to the Carolina varsity next, season. He is much the same type of runner as the fam ous "Stumpy" Thomason, Geor gia Tech ace, and he is built on much the same model as Thomason... .
