Our Tar Heel footballers wind up
summer drills this afternoon, and the
60-odd lads, who have been working
religiously on the job of developing
into a first-rate team, will have a
well-earned one-week rest before
things get going on the regular fall
practice.
These practice sessions this summer
have done a lot of good and will un
doubtedly show it in the season play.
Both coaches and players alike have
worked and worked hard, ever since
the first whistle blew in July, and
they should all be commended for the
good work. Things got underway July
2 with the first order of the day
fundamentals and basic football, but
as the practice progressed, things be
came more complex and finally got
to the scrimmage some three or four
weeks ago.
As yet no real stars have been
found, but there are a good many
candidates who are displaying very
good prospects indeed. It won't be
long now till that first eleven will
begin to distinguish itself anore and
more, and we will be able to tell to
a large extent who will be starting
for us come September 29 and the
Engineers from down Tech way.
It's been a good summer prac
tice! This thing of who is going to
clinch the American league pennant
is becoming more and more compli
cated with each passing day. The
Senators, who are making their best
hid for ton money in over a decade,
pulled up to within a half game of
the Tigers the first of last week, and
at this writing were resting in second
rung, a bare one game out . . . and
with Detroit facing Bobby Feller and
the Cleveland Indians, and the Wash
ingtonians the Yanks.
The Nats have an advantage in
that only 14 of their remaining 38
games are to be played away from
home, while the Bengals are slated
to be on the road for 29 of their 39
tilts. The Tigers have another eastern
swing, and on the last ones they have
won only 11 of 25 games ... This all
adds up to a close race, right to the
finish but with the Senators on top
(we hope).
The Cubs still hold a five and a "half
lead over the St. Louis Cards in the
National loop, but the Cards may be
able to catch up with the Bruins yet
... It's just a wide open affair all
over!
It was the Phi Gams and Smith in
the first half intramural finals yesterday-afternoon,
sb we at least got
our predicted winner in the finals. It
should have been a true champion
ship game, with Bob Fahey of Smith
and Ted Haigler of the : Phi Gams
matching pitches.

Regular Fall
Practice Will
Start Sept. 3
Next Week To Be
Spent In Resting
By Irwin Smallwood
With the season opener with
Georgia -Tech only five ; weeks
hence, Coach Carl Snavely sends
his potential Carolina gridders
through their last session of
summer drills this afternoon.
Regular fall practice will begin
September 3.
The next week will be spent rest
ing and taking mid-term and final
examinations before the local foot
ballers get back down to hard work
again. During this time the members
of the squad now suffering from mi
nor injuries are expected to recover
fully and be ready to go a week from
Monday.
Coach Snavely and his coaching
staff were out of town the first three
days of last week, but drills- were held
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Thursday was spent in a scrimmage
session with the Pre-Flight, and ac
cording to Coach Snavely, "the team
showed the most improvement yet this
summer." The Tar Heel defense was
working much better than it did in
the closed full-game scrimmage last
Saturday, and the locals "looked very
good, particularly on defense," Snav
ely continued.
Almost all the work done by the
Tar Heel in the hour-long workout
with Pre-Flight was on defense, al
though there was some consentration
on kicking. The mapority of the sum
mer practices have been devoted to
offensive action and fundamental
work, and the problems of defense
and such will have to be stressed from
here in. Yesterday and today were
slated to be given over to more work
on kicking. The majority of the sum
of various flaws which have arisen
within the past couple of weeks.
Individual stars are still a little
scarce around the practice field, but
a good many of the boys are begin
ning to stand out. In the backfield,
Don Clayton, Tom Colfer, Bill Voris,
Bill Walker, Joe Gurtis, Tom Gorman,
Flamish, Hartigj Rainey, Oliphant
and Grow are looking good, and all
of these boys are still high in the
running for first string berths. It will
be from this group, more than likely,
that the stars of the weeks ahead will
be drawn.
The line, where the majority of the
veterans are present, has been doing
a lot of hard work on leading inter
ference for the back, as well as stop
ping the onrushing opposition, and
here, as in the backfield, quite a few
lads have begun to come to the front.
Included at the tackles are Marczk,
Ted Hazelwood, Frank Curran, who
ib now injured, Szaf aryn, Kearns and
Cospito. Three of the lettermen from
last season are doing good work at
the guard positions, Ed Golding, Ed
Twohey and Del Leatherman, but this
trio by no means has any of the posi
tions sewed up. Others doing good
work, and in line as well as any for
first string spots, are Varney, Augus
tine, Wardle, Mitten and Riddle.

Slated For Mound Duty
One Of Most Successful Wartime Summer
Seasons Brought To End; Another On Deck
The Phi Gams tangled with the Smith dorm" yesterday after
noon for the championship of the first half summer softball tour
nament, but no results of the tilt were available as the Tar Heel
went to press.
This contest completed the most
successful tourney which has been
staged by the Intramural department
in years, and the interest and com
petitive spirit has been high through
out. Despite the setbacks caused by
V-J Day and the dampening capers
cut by Old Man Weather, the tourna
ment came through to finish with fly
ing colors.
During the second term of the sum
mer semester, a second half tourna
ment will be staged, Walt James, mu
ral director, announced, and, near the
end of the term there will be an Intra
mural swimming tournament held.
In Thursday's only tilt, the Phi
Gams and Leatherneck's .tangled in a
semi-final game, with the League A
team coming out on the tall end of
a 75 score. The Marines fought hard
to gain a berth in the finals, but the
Phi Gams were ahead all the way,
,nd, statistically speaking, played the
better game. The Leathernecks loaded
the bases on the top of the first, but
Haigler, Phi Gam hurler, struck out
Colones to end the threat. The win
ners came back in their half of the
first to score a single tally on the
basis of three successive singles.
Three Phi Gams crossed the plate in
the second when Lilly homered after
Reiser and Haigler had gotten on base
via the error route.
The Marines came back with two
in the fourth and another in the fifth
to bring the score' up to a 4-3 count,
but the Phi Gams came back with
two in their half of the fifth when
Carol singled and Bencini homered
to left. The Phi Gams tallied once
in their half of the sixth to pull
ahead by a four-run margin, and the
Marines, never giving up, staged a
last ditch rally in the seventh which
fell two runs shy of tying the score,
as Parker grounded to second to nip
the threat.
Joe Carol, slugging left-fielder for
the winners, had a perfect day at
the plate, with three for three and
a walk on four to lead in the hitting
department. The Phi Gams recorded
ten hits off Isaacs, the losing twirler,
while Haigler limited the losers to
seven, after holding the Marines hit
less for three innings.
In first round play four fast games
were staged by the leaders in each
league, with three of the games being
decided by a one-run margin.
The Phi Gams, of League A, rolled
over Co. 2, NROTC, by a 9-2, count.
The winners took an early 3-1 lead
in the second inning and coasted the
rest of the way to victory. Co. 2
staged an uprising in- the final frame,
but managed to get only one run
across the plate. Ted Haigler, who
had a 6-1 record for regular . season
play, limited the losers to five scat
tered hits in racking up his first win
of the tournament, while John Rich
ardson; Co. 2 hurler, was touched for
seven safe blows. However, nine Co.
2 errors provided the margin of vic
tory. Bob Friedman was the leading
slugger for the winners, banging out
a single and a double in four trips,
but Stockwell and Webb both added

two singles each to the Phi Gam
cause.
Biggest, upset of the first round
play cam Tuesday when Smith edged
out Co. 1 NROTC by a 3-2 margin
of victory. Bob Fahey, centerfielder
for the Tar Heel baesball club last
springy slammed out a home run with
two men on in the first inning to
give Smith all three of its runs. Both
men got on base by virtue of walks.
The wining team collected only three
hits off Frank Gallagher, the lead
ing twirler, but his wildness and
Fahey's homer were too much for the
Co. 1 crew to overcome. Co. 1 hit
Fahey for nine safeties during the
course of the game, but all were scat
tered well to keep the NROTC lads
under control. There was no scoring
after the third inning by either team.
Gallagher was playing his heart out
for the NROTC's even though in vain,
as he banged out a double and a sin
gle in three times at bat as well as
pitching a good game.
In another close game, Delta Sig
turned back Two Brew by a similar
score of 3-2. After the winners had
taken a 1-0 lead in the first inning,
Two Brew tied things up at 1-all in
the sixth, only to have their efforts
go for naught as the Delta Sigs came
back with two in the last of that
same stanza.
Bartling, Delta Sig winning chunk
er, spaced four hits in recording his
first playoff victory, and his mates
collected the same number off Burns,
of Two Brew. However, Booth, the
winners' third sacker, came through
with a round tripper in the sixth to
score Cooke ahead of him. This was
one of the tightest games of the pre
liminary play, as only eight hits were
made during the entire tussel. The
Two Brew ten came back in the top
of the seventh and pat in a deter
mined bid for the win, but the rally
fell short as two hits and a walk
netted only one run.
The only other first round contest
went to the Med School crew, who
topped the Ringers by the very close
score of 4-3. The Med School took
a 4-0 lead in the first four innings,
and then staved off a threatening rally
in the last of the sixth which saw
three Ringer men cross the plate.
Mathews, of the Med School, hurled a
three-hitter at the Ringers in gain
ing the win, and the Medics banged
out seven hits off the Ringers' Sie
wert. Red Forrest, one of the Tar
Heels' top-notch pitchers in the Ra
tion loop race, led the Med School at
bat with two for three, and one of
his former teammates, second base
man Tommy Thompson, of the Ring
ers, paced his team at the place also
vvith two for three.
However, the Med School was elim
inated from tourney play Wednesday,
when the Leathernecks toppled them
8-6.. The Med School held a 6-4 lead
after four innings of play, but the
Leathernecks roared passed them in
the last three to tally four times and
win the tussel going away. The game
