Thursday, June 29, 1950 THE TAR HEEL Page Two The official summer sessions newspaper published by the students of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, where it is issued weekly on Thursdays by the Colonial Press, Inc. Editor ROY PARKER, JR. Managing Editor : ANDY TAYLOR Executive Editor JOE CHERRY Sports Editor.- ART GREENBAUM Ward Scores Poor 74 In NCAA Golf Harvie Ward, winner of the 1949 NCAA golf championship, shot a poor 74 in the first round of the 1950 championships at Albuquerque, N. M., on Monday to fall far behind the field. Morris Williams of Texas Uni versity burned up the University of New Mexico course with a f ive-under-par 67 to take a safe lead in the 36 hole qualifying trials. Arnold Palmer from Wake Forest shot a smart 69 to gain fourth place in the first round. Par took a beating as many of the top collegiate golfers had trouble in keeping pace with the boiling temperature of 97. There were ready w predictions that a two-day total of 150 would be necessary to qualify. Vic Seixas Beats Swede Vic Seixas, captain and star of the 1949 University of North Car olina tennis squad, survived the first round of men's, singles in the all-England Lawn Tennis champ ionships Monday as he bested Sven Davidson of Sweden, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 6-3. Seixas, playing the circuit from Africa to Europe, has been able to post impressive victories in the opening matches but has faltered in later sessions. Ranking 12th in the English tournament, the fair haired lad from Philadelphia is rated as one of the best in lawn competition and possesses one of the fastest serves in the tennis game. Two weeks ago, Seixas pulled an early match upset in the Neth erland s championship as he swamped the Australian star, John Bromwich. -ART'S-Sports Shots Chuck Erickson, assistant ath letic, director and golf coach at Carolina was named second vice president of the National Col legiate Athletic Association Golf Coaches' Association in the an nual meeting held at Albuquer que, New Mexico, on Monday. Jim Gill, recently appointed freshman football coach at North Carolina State and former line coach at Carolina, wedded Miss Edna Woodard of Chapel Hill yesterday. Miss Woodard is sec retary to Dr. Oliver Cornwell in the physical education depart ment. Irv "Huck" Holdash, Carolina's strongest nomination for All American in 1950, received his first piece of publicity in the July issue of Sport magazine Bill Stern plastered a facsimile of Holdash on the first page of his "Crystal Ball" article. We thought that Irv did all the plas ter work around Chapel Hill. Remember the Emerson Mis fits? Probaby the closest team to challenge them is now blasting it's way through the first session of the intramural softball tourn ament. Led by Ben Perry, Ernie Williamson, , Gene Turner, and Bob Rockholz, the Victory Vil lage squad has overwhelmed it's first two opponents by large scores and should waltz to the finals without very much oppo sition. Hosea Rodgers, former bull dozing fullback for coach Carl Snavely's grid forces seems pleased with his transfer to the Philadelphia Eagles for the 1950 pro session. Rodgers broke into the All-America Conference with the Los Angeles Dons and pleased the fans and the sport's writers with his block-busting tech nigues. He was drafted by the Eagles in the National league when the two leagues merged. Sporting Preview For 1950-51 Appears Good By Art Greenbaum Although the University of North Carolina's athletic teams have just completed their 1949-50 sessions, another great year in the sporting field looms right around the corner. Rpffinninpf with t.hp Greatest spectator sport of them all, king football should again produce the thrills and chills for the local fans during the coming season. Coach Snavely will have to have his grid forces in high gear when the 23rd of September rolls around. The following week, the Tar Heels will travel a long way to South Bend to meet Notre Dame. Here is where the season really begins. The soccer team under Marvin Allen's ' tutelage will run up against the best in Maryland, Penn State, and Habanna. Coach Tom Scott's fast-breaking basket ballers go back into the Garden this year and should again force their way to the top although inexperience might hamper the sophomores. The swimming team, with the addition of several outstanding freshmen, will probably be classed with the best in the coun try. Thomas and company should reign again in the South. Mural News The Intramural Department's summer program has gotten un derway after the rain washed out last week's initial softball games. Approximately forty games have already been played while more than sixty contests remain to be played. Ben Perry, intramural director, has announced that the entries in the horseshoe tournament are scarce and that anyone interested in signing up should call the office at F-424 or sign their names to the lists posted in the dorms or in the gym. Thomas Wins Four Places At La Grange The people of La Grange, Georgia got a good look at Caro lina's Jimmy Thomas on Friday and Saturday as he took four first places and set a new National Junior record in the Southeastern AAlFs. Thomas was awarded the men's individual scoring trophy. The splashing senior from Bal timore, Md., won the hearts of the people in La Grange as he demonstrated his prowess in all three forms of swimming. His first places came in the 220 yard freestyle, 150 yard individual medley, 100 yard backstroke, and the 800 meter freestyle. In the latter event, Thomas broke the existing record of 11.17 which was held by Matt Mann of Michigan. The new record is now 10.18:8, almost one full min ute's difference.
