Coming to the University in the fall of 1941, he was assigned the job of assistant freshman coach, working under his brother, Ralph Casey, The following year he became head freshman coach, and in the fall of 1943 he graduated to the varsity as as fiisfant. to Head Coach Dick Janer son. The Navy calfed Jamerson in the spring of 1944, and last winter Casey found himself in full command. De spite a stiff schedule, he guided the Tar Heels through their second successive undefeated season, and ran their vic tory string to 21 consecutive matches and their 41st win-in 42 starts. Only a defeat by Navy in l943 mars their record since 1941. In addition to guiding the winning team, taking a full schedule of scho lastic work, and handling numerous physical education classes, Casey still found time to work as assistant track coach this past spring. His numerous duties make him one of the busiest members of the athletic staff. You would nardly call Uasey an optimist. Last winter he informed sports writers that if they wanted to publicize after that. Then he proceeded to take his charges up to Annapolis and hand the Middies a 42 to 33 de feat. But this winter he may have a little more ground for pessimism. By far the toughest schedule ever arranged for the North Carolina swimming team has been carded, and several of the standouts of last year's outfit have de parted. Ail-American Billy Kelly, all-round star who set seven American records; Bill Ward, No. 2 sprint freestyle ace, and Captain Jesse Greenbaum, leading backstroker, will be missing. But, on the bright side, nine letter men, one returning service man from the 1941 freshman team, and two pro mising freshmen are among a large squad now working out daily. The squad will be built around Co Captain "Snookyw Proctor, Rocky Mount; Ben Ward, Goldsboro; and Dick Twining, Charlotte; Denny Ham mond, a veteran from Atlanta. Casey is expecting great things of Twining, an all-round star who had his first ex perience last winter. The schedule will include Army, the only outstanding undefeated team be sides North Carolina last winter; Ohio State's National Intercollegiate cham- Snavelymen Prepare For inia Tilt Virg Coach Carl Snavely will prepare his charges for the home-coming con test with the once-beaten Virginia eleven here in Kenan Stadium this Saturday afternoon at 2f o'clock. After emerging from the Duke en gagement without any further in juries, Coach Snavely's crew should be in top shape since Golding and Ru- bish who were absent from the Blue Devils tussle last Saturday will be ready for action Saturday. Virginia suffered her first setback of the season to a surprising Mary land team by the score of 19-13. The Cavaliers had their eyes glued to a bowl invitation before the defeat and still may stand in line if they get by the Tar Heels. Carolina made a j stubborn stand against Duke before ailing by a slim margin of 14-7. Carolina will have a chance to break even for the season by whip ping Virginia. The Tar Heels have won four games while dropping five ast season a strong Cavalier team defeated the Blue and White eleven by a large margin. mm .::':.Jj5: V 4 f 0 '.v.

The opening encounter will be with Camp Lee, which sports one of the best service teams in this section by virtue of two All- Americans and several other, top-flight performers. Camp Lee. alreadv victorious in couple of games this winter, is led weekly meeting on Thursday night at :30 in the Navy Hall.

Thomas Book Store Durham Five Lettermen One of the five returning lettermen from last season on hand this year, Ira Norfolk, who scored 165 points during 29 games, will be lost to the Carolina cagers for at least a week, it has been learned, as the tall mono gram man suffered a broken ankle in drills Friday. Norfolk will be out until after the holidays, according to reports. The 16-man basketball roster was divided into two teams, and the Phants played for two halves, the blue team winning the first, 56-13 and the second, 44-17. John Dillon starred for the Blues in the first half, hooking and tossing in 20 points, and Bob Paxton added 14 to the cause. During the second half of the ses sion, with slightly different lineups, All-American Jim Jordan hit the hoop for 19 markers, with Dillon coming in with nine. For the Red team, Gene Thomas was the pace-setter in both halves of the practice game, dropping in six; markers each time. Red Hughes,-Jim White, John Fields and Buster Stev ens also stood out for the Reds, and Don Anderson, Jim Hayworth and Taylor Thorn played well for the Blue. The game was taken up mostly with familiarizing the Carolina lads with the new rules introduced since last season, including the rule that states that if a man is taken out during the last four minutes of a game, he cannot go back in. Ball handling was also stressed in the tilt, which will be followed with at least one more before Camp Lee is met here December 5. Girls Gym Class Wants To Swim "I thought we were going to do water ballet work. What are we doing this group of exercises and monkey busi ness for, besides the fact that the pool is being repaired and the lights don't work at night? I don't see why we can't just sit and talk." Such might run a conversation about the girls gym class on Tuesday night, for they haven't been in the water yet. Big plans have been made for the forthcoming year for a swimming team and a water pageant. The team will be chosen largely from the girls in the Gym class and has already received an invitation from another school to compete in a meet. Pass Interception Smothers Hopes Of Gaining Deadlock By Irwin Smallwood The Blue Devils hit paydirt twice, the Tar Heels came back, but the second threat died with an intercepted pass and the Duke sters turned back Carolina, 14-7, in the 33rd renewal of the age old rivalry. That was the story as 44,000 shivering spectators watched the Carolina-Duke battle of battles go to the Blue Devils in Duke stadium Saturday afternoon.
