After he completes a similar lec ture tour of duty at Duke during the next three weeks, Captain Bar nett said he would he eligible for reassignment, which would more than likely mean additional duty in the Pacific. The big former footballer -for Duke played three varsity seasons for Coach Wallace Wade, breaking into the starting lineup midway his sophomore year and keeping the post till his graduation in 1942. Captain Barnett was captain and center of the squad in 1941 and played with the Blue Devils in the 1942 trans planted Rose Bowl in Durham, which the Devils lost, 20-16, to Oregon State. "I always did have a soft spot in my heart for Carolina," Captain Barnett said as he explained that he enjoyed his short tour of duty here even though it was Carolina. He went on to say that he expected to enter law school as soon as he got out of the Marine corps, but that he was not sure whether he would return to Duke or not. He is mar ried and was living in Wilmington, Del., home of his wife, a former Duke coed, prior to entering the ser vice. ...

High Point was in the fight for Iwo Jima. . . . Coach Dale Hanson has begun the task of building a cross country team for this season. He has some few veterans from last year in ad dition to several men from the spring track team. The locals have a good slate, and from all indications they should turn up with a pretty good club. . Coach Snavely has been working his combined football squad hard this week as the summer drills continue to gain in intensity. They are still basically in fundamental work, al though plays are being run every day. Light scrimmages are expect ed to become regular any week now. . . . There are some pretty big boys out there working out, and if they turn out as good as we expect, Carolina should have a team that will be no pushover for any of our opponents. Coach Snavely has good assistants in Russ Murphey, Max Reed, Charley Jamerson and Stretch Howell, and judging from past perr f ormanees, this combination will not be represented by any club that isn't at least fair. . . . The present season opener is slated to be with Georgia Tech, but there is a chance a game may be carded the preceding week. Nothing definite yet. is known about tne strengtn oi tne Cloudbusters this season, but judging from past records, they should turn up with a fairly potent eleven. A five-man coaching staff, headed by Lt. Comdr. Paul H. Bryant, will have charge of the Cloudbuster team this fall, it was also announced. . The assistant coaches, who , will work with the varsity team on a col lateral duty basis, are Lieut. Carney G. Laslie, line coach, Lieut. John F. Druze, end coach, Lieut. Frank C.

Tennis Tournament Will Begin Tuesday The summer intramural tennis tour nament will be started Tuesday, July 31, it has been announced by Walt James, mural director here at Caro lina. The first rounds of both men's and, women's singles will be run off by August 2. ' According to James, it will be up to the individual contestant to contact his opponent, play the match and report the outcome to the intramural depart ment in Woollen gym. A list of. en tries and their telephone numbers, along with the pairings for the tour ney is posted on the bulletin board on the varsity courts, which are just east of the clay courts. Phi Gams Lead League A With Perfect Mark Delta Sigs-Rest On Top Of B Loop The Intramural softball leagues really moved into action in this, the second week of tournament competi tion, as the St. Swithen's Pay proph ecy of forty day's of continuous ram failed to be fulfilled. Jn League A, the Phi Gams took an impressive lead by winning two more shut outs and consequently winding up this week's play with a "3 won and none lost record." In the first of these tilts, Dorsett, Staff twirler, held the winners to three hits, but five Staff errors spelled the margin of victory, as Phi Gam scored a 9-0 win. Bob Bencmi, Phi Gam right fielder, con nected for a round tripper in his last trip to the plate, to lead the offensive for the winners. In their second vic tory of the week, the Phi Gam's sneaked through to a 2-0 win over the Class ! NROTC ten in one of the tightest games of tournament compe tition. The only score of the game occurred in the top of the third when the Phi Gams shoved across the two markers which cinched the contest. Ted Haigler, winning pitcher, chunked a beautiiul game, noiding tne opposi tion to only a couple of hits. Previous to this defeat, Class I had showed up very well, copping a con test Monday by a ,13-0 count. Martin and Fontineau, with two hits apiece. were the big offensive guns for the winners, as Gallagher, , RO hurler, held the opposition to only two sin gles. In the only other game played in League A this past week, Sigma Chi turned in an impressive 21-2 per formance in whipping Kappa Alpha. Borden, Sigma Chi pitcher, stopped the opposition cold in allowing only three hits, while his teammates were collecting fourteen. Fisher, the win ner's left fielder, led the offensive at tack with two circuit blows. In League B, it was the Delta Sigs who threatened to run away with the title, as the week's end found them resting snugly in top position with a record of three and nothing. In a free for all contest, the league leaders finally emerged on top of a 16-11 count. The victors won out the hard way, overcoming a 4-0 deficit to pocket the victory. A six run fourth inning sewed up the contest for the Delta Sig's. Their second victory of the week was obtained the easy way, as Zeta Psi forfeited their contest. Hard on the heels of the Delta Sig's was the snappy looking outfit repre senting Phi Delta Theta, who, at week's end, boasted a 2-0 record. One of these was also obtained by the for feit route, but the second was a well earned victory over the strong Smith aggregation by a 5-3 count, With Smith leading at the end of four inn ings, the Phi Delt's put on a three run outburst in the fifth to cinch the win. This was the only defeat suffered by Smith, as they have come through so far with twice that many wins. In Monday's contest, Smith played excep tional ball in copping a 17-4 win from the Beta crew, t ahey, the winning pitcher, racked up fourteen strike outs, allowed only hve hits,. and, as 11 this were not enough, he connected for a double and homer in three official trips to the plate. League C saw only one contest this week as Two Brews came through to avensre a previous 6-4 defeat at the hands of -the Med School by taking Steele into camp by a 3-1 margin. Hy der, the winning pitcher, allowed only three hits while his teammates ex ceeded this total by one solid single. The Ringers and the Leathernecks were tied for top honors in League D, hoth with two wins and no losses. The Leathernecks, however, have gotten their wins by way of the forfeit route, while the Ringers looked impressive in chalking up victories over SAE and Kappa Sig, by the scores of 6-5 and 9-4 respectively. In the former game, SAE took a 3-1 lead, but could not hold it as the winners scored fiveruns in the fourth inning to take the tilt. In the latter game, the Ringers scored eight runs in the second, then staved off a, vain attempt, by the losers to bridge the gap as they put on a three run spurt. ' In the only other game in League D, SAE swamped Kappa Sig by a 21-8 count. The losers took an early 4-3 See INTRAMURALS, page U mm . mm ill 4-' Ethel Laughlin, Frances Kinney and Randy Hudson, shown above, make up the Carolina girls' relay swimming team that will represent the Tar Heels at the High Point Carolinas AAU tank contest today. (Tar Heel Sportsphoto by Joe Al Denker.) Line Coach Lover Of Football, Golf By Hardinge Menzies Max Reed, the Tar Heel's line-coach, is a pro football player who has been Carl Snavely's coaching partner for the past sixteen years. He's had as much football experience as any coach could hope to have and he's all set to ing season. Coach Reed was born in Louisburg, ennsylvania and received his educa tion m his own home town at rsuck nell University. After graduation he coached high school football for a while and then decided he would turn to professional ball. His first try at pro ball was with the Pottsville Ma roons, and later with the Frankfort Yellow Jackets. While with the Jackets," that team had the honor of winning the .National unampionsmp. This was in 1926. Later oh, in '28 to be exact, Max played more pro ball or the New York Giants and then for the Buffalo AHl-Americans. During his football-playing days Reed played he position of center with all the teams. In 1929, when our line-coach accept ed an offer to coach ball at his old al ma mater, Bucknell, he was to begin a long and successful friendship with U.N.C.'s present head-man, Carl Snavely. Snavely had been coaching ball at Bucknell two years before Reed had accepted the offer and he has been Snavely's line-coach ever since. From '29 . until '34 the school witnessed this double-dose of football strategy and in '34 both partners made way for Chap el Hill and coached ball here during the seasons of '34 and '35. When Snavely accepted a position at Cornell his line-coach went right along with him and the two coached at that great school' for nine years Now that Reed and Snavely are back again Carolina feels certain of hav ing a promising team this fall. Reed is only human and when asked about Carolina, he just grinned and replied that he had "always liked Chapel Hill. It has such a good cli mate." Aside from his coaching re sponsibilities he 'finds time to study football plays and teach several classes in physical education. Of course there is never a dull moment down in the of fices at Woollen and the daily sche dule of Max Reed is no exception. When asked about hobbies and so on, Max was quick to lighten up on the word golf and said "the whole outfit plays golf at every chance we can get." Golf, as you can see, seems to be the "other love" of the majority of football coaches. No one can deny that this pro from Pennsylvania who coaches the line is " r il 11 1 T sure nre as a iootDau coacn wnen paired with his old 'partner' Snavely.

X Cross Country Team Begins Practice; 16 Boys Report Carolina's cross country team officially opened 1945 practice Thursday as some 16 boys reported to Coach Dale Ranson for initial workouts. The drills are expected to last meet will be held. until about the Included among those reporting are 15 Navy men and one civilian, and all but one have either been out for cross country before or worked with the spring track squad. However, most of the boys are still on the green side as far as cross country is concerned, and no early predictions can be made on the basis of the track experience on hand. . According to Coach Ranson, the hill-and-dale lads are working out six days a week, and something like time trials are slated for every two weeks in order to keep a close check on the progress oi the candidates, uniy- 15 Navy men can be on the roster, and be cause of this, there will be a maximum of competition all year. There are also some men working out regularly who are not included on the roster, and these boys will be given a . chance to participate in the trials every two weeks and in that way win a berth on the squad. v A schedule of six meets is already arranged, and others with service teams of this vicinity are anticipated. Twining Heads List Of Local Swimmers Out Illness Darkens Carolina Chances i By Frank Miller The Tar Heel tank team, minus the services of several of its best swimmers, will enter the North and South Carolina AAU championships at Hierh Point to day. Dick Twining, newly crowned Na tional Junior medley champion is in the infirmary, and Snooky Proctor, th defending champion in the 150 and 80 meters is also out due to illness. Ben Ward, the other co-captain, has been able to get in the pool only one day this week because of an infected ear. Entries Coach Willis Casey has announced that he will enter Mike Morrow, Jack Zimmerman, John Lord, Bo Jenkinsand Ira Abahmson in the meet. The loss of these key men, however, will make the locals the sec ond choice in the team race. Camp Lejeune, with two National "Cham pions on the squad, will be the fav orites, with Carolina and Cherry Point favored to fight it out for 'the second spot. This will be an entirely new situa tion for the Blue Dolphins who are the defending champions and have lost only one meet in the past five years. Brighter Things are looking brighter for the girl tanksters, however. Frances Kenney, Randy Hudson and Ethel Laughlin have been working out for the Women's National Junior Medley relay all week and are rated along with the Goldsboro team as co-favoriteE. These three girls will also enter sev eral of the Carolina AAU events. Casey announced that if Ward is able to swim he will probably compete in the Men's National Junior 50-meter free style. Handicap The Dolphins will be greatly handi capped with the loss of Twining, who pulled down the individual scoring laurels at Tarboro last week. Twin ing captured the 300-meter individual medley, setting a new record of 4:13.1, just 1.3 seconds short of the pace by Adolph Kiefer. In the 200-meter free style event Ben Ward, co-captain of the 1945 squad, Smashed a new record. Ward then dashed up to the distance division and downed Paul Maloney, former National champion from Buf falo, N. Y., and University of Michi gan. Carolina's Dick Morrow placed third in this race. Carolina's girl entries turned in fine performances with Frances Kinney the runnerup for the National AAU Junior women's 400-meter free style championship. She then lost a close decision to Jane Cook, former Phila delphia star and now in the Marines at Cherry Point. There will be a meeting of the Tar Heel sports staff Monday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock in the Til office in Gra ham Memorial. middle of September when the first On deck so far in the way of meets are contests with Georgia Tech, Navy, Duke and Virginia. Home and home series will be held with Duke and Georgia Tech, and single meets with Virginia and Navy. None of the dates with the exception of Navy are defin itely' set, but the complete slate is ex pected to be forthcoming any day. The schedule will get underway sometime in the middle of September if present plans materialize and last through No vember. "All I can say is that we have a lot of work to do," Coach Ranson said af ter .the first practice session Thurs day. "We hope to have a first class team," he continued, "but nothing can be determined at all till we have seen the boys in action for several weeks." Those on the cross country roster at present include: O. A. Allen, Whitey Holden, Bob Dodson, Art Lamb, John Start, J. R. Chafin, J. R. Crain, R. H. Baughman, Doug Erath, J. R. Callum, A.
