SoftbaUPlay Nears Conclusion Cloudbusters Begin Grid Work Monday me SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1945 PAGE THREE i eifftamm 0 gin Pre-Flight Footba Drills Open Monday Emphasis To Be On Fundamentals During First Week; Opening Game September 23 A group of some 50 cadets is expected to be on hand tomorrow when the 1945 edition of the Navy Pre-Flight Cloudbusters be gins fall football practice under Head Coach Paul Bryant, in prep aration for the opening tilt against the Georgia Pre-Flight Sky crackers at Athens, Ga., on September 23. During the first week emphasis will be on f undamentals, with work, work, and more work on the elements that go to make good football blocking, tack ling, passing, running and kicking. Alabama "Offense" The CloudbUster eleven will operate this year from the Alabama type of fense, using a balanced line and box, Coach Bryant stated today. Varia tions will be used, he said, to adapt the attack to the player material on hand, something he'll know more about next week. ' Lt. Comdr. Bryant is well prepared to institute the Alabama style of play at Carolina Pre-Flight, having him self been a star end on the Crimson Tide's Rose-Bowl team of 1934 and having served later as assistant coach at his alma mater. Most of the half hundred or so can didates who will begin drills next week are players selected from those who have showed most promise in class in structional football, which is a regu lar part of the Pre-Flight physical conditioning program. ' Experience Lacking From the information available at this time, the squad Will be short on experience, with jonly a handful of players with any college. This is a natural result of the fact that for the past three years youths have been entering the naval aviation training program right from high school, and the supply of college trained youths available has been greatly reduced. Carolina Intramural Tennis Meet Swings Into High Gear The intramural tennis tournament was swinging into high gear at the week-end as the men's singles advanced well into the second round. Walt James, intramural head, asked that all contestants report the results of their matches to him in rodm 307, Woollen Gym, and as yet there are no results reported on any of the women's singles Pairings for those two divisions m which competition has not yet begun, the men's doubles and the mixed doubles, have been announced by the intramural department. These matches must be arranged, played and report ed in a manner similar to the men's and women's singles rules as pre viously announced. In the only first round match in the men's doubles, Cowden and Jor dan will meet Gregory and Wren. All ntJier nntestants will receive first round byes. In second round matches, the fol lowing pairings have been announced: Ahrendts and Stockwell vs. Bauder and Brinkley. Townsend and Savich vs. Owens and Lepper.

REHDER'S CHAPEL HILL FLOWER SHOP Opposite Post Office Corner Some of the disadvantages of in experience, however, may be out weighed by the excellent physical con dition of the cadets and their keen com petitive spirit. Among the quartet of candidates with previous college football experi ence will be a trio of backs and one lineman. Warren Plays The back are Bob Warren, freshman back with the University of North Carolina last fall ; Ed McMillan, of the University of South Carolina and a substitute back with Duke a year ago; C. E. Holt, substitute back at Dartmouth. The lineman is a center, R. E. Stewart, who played freshman football at the University of Missouri. Other promising prospects for back field assignments are expected to be: Jimmy Allen, from Hillsboro high school, Coram, N. Y.; W. D. Poling, from Ohio; Vic Turynf Logan high school, Holden, W. Va.; D. E. Swen son, Stadiun high school, Tacoma, Wash., and J. B. Gregg from Monroe, La. Expected to make good bids for line jobs are D. M. Wilkins, Little Rock, Ark.; E. J. Schwarz, Strong high school, Erie, Pa.; R. N. Chase, Ham ilton, Mo.; Francis Evans, Springfield technical high school, Springfield,. Mass.; Ed Jackson, Augusta, Ga.; E. P.- Kinney, Xavier high school, Louis ville, Ky., and B. A. Winkler, Temple high school, Temple, . Texas. matches Locals To Enter N. C. Net Tourney Carolina will be well represent ed in the North Carolina Closed Tennis tournament being held in Greensboro this week-end, as some dozen netters from the University and the Pre-Flight School pit their skill against the field of 62 entries. Top contender from Carolina comes from the Pre-Flight School and is Lt. Barney Welsh, present titleholder who won the tourney last year. Also from the Pre-Flight School will be Cadet Clarence Maybry, one of the outstanding Ju nior players in the country. Cliff Tuttle and Duke Wilder, No. 1 and No. 2 man respectively on the Tar Heel varsity team last season will also be in the fight, as See NET TOURNEY, page U Lot Of Work Required To Run Big Woollen Gym By Harding Menzies When a green freshman walks into Woollen Gym for his first day alize the tremendous forces which are and have been working to en able him to walk into that gym. The unity of management and coor dination by which the physical edu cation dept. works here at Carolina is certainly an achievement which any school in the country could well be proud. The vastness of its pro gram, always working for the phy sical well-being of UNC students, is certainly something which we, as students, should educate ourselves in a little more. In an information bulletin printed in 1942, the policy of the athletic department is put down for every one to read. "The athletic policy of the department is to provide such a bpad athletic program that every student in the University will find some sport which commands his in terest." And the student has just that opportunity to play any kind , of , sport which man has invented. 1 1$3. s f " " CHUCK IS HOW A ' " K-vw iiEaiTENAnrw-mg- W 3 I y ARMY MR FORCES.' i 4J ; Buy Carl Snavely Coaching Clinic Program Affair Is Sponsored By Charlotte Quarterback Club; To Be Aug. 20-21 The program has just been announced for the Carolinas Coach ing Clinic, which will be held by the Quarterback 'Club in Char lotte; August 20-21, and which will be in charge of Carl Snavely, head coach at the University of North Carolina and his staff. The completed schedule is carried in a handsome four-page brochure, which has just been mailed out from Charlotte to high school coaches throughout the two Carolinas and which has just been received here. "We are fortunate to secure the services of Carl Snavely," the open ing statement reads, "who after nine years as head football coach at Cornell University, has returned to the Uni versity of North Carolina. Snavely's Method "Everyone knows the thoroughness of Mr. Snavely's coaching methods. This is his first public appearance in the interest of the game since return ing to North Carolina. We are also fortunate in that he will bring with him his complete staff of five well known authorities, who will serve as his aides during -the school." The assistants referred to are Line Coach Max Reed, who has been Mr. Snavely's right hand man since 1929; Backfield Coach Russ Murphy, who joined the gray fox's staff in 1939; and End Coach Charlie Jamerson, who is on leave from his duties as head coach at Memphis Teachers Col lege; Irvin Howell, Navy Chief Spe cialist Athletic here; and Coach Chuck Quinlan, who has been head trainer here since 1926. The sessions, which will be held at Central high school gymnasium in Charlotte, opening 'at 10 o'clock Mon day, August 20, and closing at 5 o'clock Tuesday, will be open to any interested coach or fan. A nominal fee will be charged to cover expenses, and registrations should be mailed to Bill Brannin at 1141 Elizabeth Ave., See COACHING CLINIC, page U In the physical training program, the student is given a chance at foot ball, basketball, baseball, track, box ing, wrestling, cross country, tennis, swimming and golf. There are also facilities for handball, water polo, volley ball, table tennis, foul shoot ing, softball and horseshoes. No matter where a student comes from or what his interest may be, you can be sure he'll find some sport at Carolina to interest him. Of course today, during wartime, things aren't just exactly as they were planned but with the coopera tion of the Navy, the department is functioning just as well, or better, than it did in years of peace. Not only is the department blessed by having a reputation as one of the best physical programs in the South kut also it has for its heads lead ers in the country in each of their particular field. Oliver CJornwell is the wise and able head of the physi cal education program and Robert A. Fetzer serves as head of the Ath letic Department. To Conduct Gridders Ironing Out Many Kinks Coach Carl Snavely and his newly acquired North Carolina Tar Heels, heading into the last lap of the 1945 summer grid practices, are shoving full speed ahead each afternoon be fore they take a week off prior to the heavy fall drills. Dummy scrimmages are at present dominating the Blue and White work with Snavely and staff putting special emphasis on new plays and ironing out kinks made in last Saturday's battle with the Pre-Flight. The Carolina mentor seems to be faced with the big problem of inex perience more than anything else, as. the green Tar Heel group is greatly backing in coordination and team play. With only five returning lettermen, Coach Snavely is hit hard by the lack of vets and there is still much work to be done before the lads will be in top shape for their initial encounter on September 29. In the Carolina-Pre-Flight scrimmage, the Blue and White aggregation showed their in experience to a large degree and there were many mistakes to be cor rected. Ed Golding, one of the few left overs of last year, hailing from Pel ham, N. Y., is showing up very well at his whipping guard post, and may prove a spearhead in the Carolina forward wall this season. Golding held a first-string berth on the '44 eleven and proved plenty tough, as Army lauded him high enough to be placed on their all-opponent team. All of the rest of the entire pro gram down at Woollen falls under the guidance of these men and the program is so closely net together that it functions smoothly even" with the Navy and Marine programs here. Sub-headed under physical Education Department are the Serv ices, the teacher-training division, the hygiene section, and the intra mural. Each part of the program has its own head and staff, such as Clyde "Pete" Mullis, who is the hygi ene instructor and under whose guidance students have become en lightened in the field of health. Other instructors are Bunn Hearn, Henry House, R. B. Lawson, C. P. Quinlan, M. D. Ranson, F. T. Sie wert and George E. Shepard. Those who aue absent on leave, in military or naval service are Marvin Allen, C. P. Erickson, J. H. Mor riss, M. Z. Konman, H. W. SchnelL and W. Jamerson. -This does not include the football coaches who also come under the head of the depart ment. Carolina is fortunate indeed Frank Gallagher Pitches No-Hit Tilt Phi Gams Continue Winning Ways With 12-1 Win Over Staff; Haigler Hurls By Dick Seaver With scarcely a week remaining in the regular softball tourna ment play, the respective teams of all leagues dug in for the home stretch games which would make or break their pennant chances last week. The final games of the League Round Robin will be com pleted on Monday, August 20, and play f o rthe first half champion ship will begin on Tuesday, August 21 and continue through Thursday, August 23. In the first no hit ball game of the entire tournament, Co. I NROTC's fast stepping crew scored an 8-0 victory over Kappa Alpha, in a one. sided contest. The winners had a field day at bat, scoring 13 hits against Mack Hobkirk, the losing twirler, but the big news of the contest was the. neat hurling job turned in by Frank Galla gher, who carved himself a niche in the tournament hall of fame by pitch ing a sweet no hit game which was marred by only five walks. Phi Gams Roll On Phi Gamma Delta kept right on rolling during the past week as they racked up win number six by scoring a one sided 12-1 win over the Staff. In winning their sixth game in six starts, the league leaders ran their total number of runs scored up to 69 as compared to a minute total of two runs scored against them. Ted Haig ler once again pitched beautiful ball in allowing only three hits while his teammates were banging out nine. Webb, Phi Gam center fielder, had a perfect day at bat' to lead the offense for the winners, while Paty, the loser's left fielder, had a double and single in three trips to lead the Staff in that department. In one of Monday's tilts, the Staff handed KA its second defeat of the week when they scored five times in the first inning to coast to an 8-1 vic tory. Durin pitched good steady ball for the winners, and he received good support afield from his teammates. Qwens, with 3 for 4, and Tabbutt, with 3 for 3, led in the hitting depart ment for the Staff, as Hagy and Car navale aided the cause by blasting out round trippers for the winners. In League A's only remaining game, Sigma Chi scored a decisive 12-0 win ever BVP as Bowden limited the los ers to five scattered hits while strik ing out a similar number. Alden, Sigma Chi backstop, led the offensive with 3 hits in 4 trips. In one of the week's most important contests, Smith downed the Phi Delt's by a 6-1 count to slip into top posi tion in League B. The winners scored four runs in the fourth inning to ice the contest, after taking a 2-1 lead in the previous frame by scoring a single tally. Fahey, winning chunker, struck out nine while spacing three Phi Delt hits. C. 2 Wins In one of the week's closest contests, Co. 2 downed the Delta Sig's by i 4-3 count. Staging a Frank Merri well finish, the winners scored two big runs in the last half of the final frame after the losers had gone out in front, 3-2 in the first half of the same inning. Both teams were evenly matched, with good pitching and steady fielding being the order of the day. Bouncing back from an earlier de- to have such a staff of well-trained and hard-working men for its physi cal program men who have car ried on through war and peace to maintain a high calibre of attain . ment. When the student reports for phy sical ed he must have a privilege card which is issued to him at the infirmary upon registering. He is then handed a basket with a lock and clothes in it, supplies amount ing to a sum of $8.65. The "tote" basket system is used and each stu dent must take a shower before leaving the building. So, from the time a student en ters Woollen gym until he leaves, the wonderful and rather compli cated physical ed program is so di rected to meet his every need. From the well-trailed instructors down to the soap which he uses for show ers, the student is given all possible aid so that he may attain the high est type of physical fitness, whifch is an essential part Of any man's education. Against KA's - Cross Country Ahead Of 1944 Candidates Run Initial Trials "We are a good six weeks ahead of last year,1 Thursday afternoon as he viewed his potential Carolina cross country team in the first preliminary time trials of the season over the three and five eighths mile course. Sixteen candidates for the 1945 squd participated in the first Teal workout of the season, and although the times turned in were not by any means exceptional "they did very good for early running," according to Coach Ranson. The first meet of the season is ten tatively slated for September 15 here, but the opponent has not been named as yet. Something like six or seven meets are already on deck, including races with Georgia Tech, Duke, Vir ginia and Navy. Others with service teams from this vicinity are expected to be added at any time, however. Real surprise of the day came when Red Forrest, former top-notch hurler for the Tar Heel baseball team and a Med student, finished second in the field of 16. Forrest is without any previous track experience, but the fleet red-headed youngster showed that he was really game in coming in close on the heels of the leader. Bob Dodson, one of the top men on the local spring track team, came in first, some 11 seconds ahead of For rest, and this first pair was followed by Art Lamb in third rung. The trials are held in an effort to let Coach Ran son keep tab on the progress of his lads, and to give boys who are work ing out but not members of the squad a chance to gain berths on the roster. And the trials did just that as Mack Hobkirk and Hank Spurlock came in well to make the team. "From the looks of things now, Coach Ranson said, "we should have a relatively strong team by mid-season, that is in relation to the team of last year." Coach Ranson was quick to point out that this did not mean the team would be too sensational, though, and he added that another of these trials will be held in two weeks. Those running, in the order in which they finished are as follows: Dodson, Forrest, Lamb, Holden and Straight (tie), Erath, Allen, Hobkirk, Hatch, Spurlock, Bolch, Hester, Eagle, Crane and Hughes (tie), and Harding. feat at the hands of the Smith, the Phi Delt's scored a 5-1 win over the Beta ten to stay in the thick of the pennant fight. Neither team could do much with the opposing pitching, with the Phi , Delt's outhitting the Beta crew by a 3-2 count. The win ners were aided in their victory march, however, by five Annie Oakley's is sued by Tootman the losing hurler. In League C, Med School continued their winning ways by scoring a deci sive 18-5 victory over DKE in one of Tuesday's contests. Forrest, with two homers and a single in five trips, led the Med School in the slugging depart ment, as the entire winning team found their batting eyes and rattled the boards with 22 bingles, six of which were for extra bases. Following up this slugging victory, the Med School showed they could come through in a pitcher's battle by nosing out Co. 3 by a 3-2 count. The winners scored once in the third and twice in the fifth, while the losers scored single tallies in the fourth and seventh innings. C. 3, previous to this heart break ing decision, had given away Tues day's contest by a 10-0 count via the forfeit route to the Steele crew. The Ringer's also continued their winning ways in League D during the past week as they snowed under a determined SAE ten by a 15-3 score. Siewart, winning twirler, spaced five SAE hits to picket the win, as the booming bats of the league leaders ac- See INTRAMURALS, page I
