Thursday, July 26, 1951 The Tar He Page Five Strictly Ad Lib Ed. Note: Zane Robbins, DTH Sports Editor during the regular school , c uuniie s summer session, dui win suDmit his column frnm t mo in iima Booinq the Bowl Games THERE ARE A FEW folks around the country interested in giving scnooiboy athletes one last fling at "all-star" opponents before they enter college or go out to face the cold, cruel world. All of which is a very good thing for those who are going to face the coia, cruel world and are not planning college careers. At this point, however, the question arises as to how many good high school athletes are being passed up when the college scholar- snips are passed out each year. Not very many of the good ones, certainly, and what promoter wants the poorer ones playing in a Dowl game of some sort? The athletic promoters stage all sorts of games for the eraduates They have baseball, basketball, football, and an occasional track meet. Baseball, basketball, and track are bad enough, but when the promoters take high school graduates and throw them into a foot ball game against the roughest competition , they have ever faced, alter approximately six months' layoff from the grid sport, some thing's gotta go. Games Planned for August AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, MOST of the high school erad. uates who participate in the August bowl games will be going to college in a month or so, and many of those who will go to collece owe their forthcoming education to athletics. So it might seem that tne Doys themselves would have foresight enough to bypass the August games, but if they do the sports writers, particularly if a newspaper happens to be sponsoring the bowl game, will immed iately start howling about success going to a youngster's head. You Know tne rest. As of right now Greensboro is planning big football and basket ball games with some of the State's finest schoolboy stars partici pating. The date is sometime around the middle of August. Mem phis, Term., is staging a football game with the schoolboy All Americas participating. The date there is also set for sometime in August. i It will be approximately two weeks after these two games that Southern Conference teams will open pre-season practice Sept. 1. And freshmen are eligible for varsity competition this year. Should any of the youngsters get pretty well banged up say a broken leg or arm he would be out of commission for the entire season. As Time Goes By BY THE TIME HIS INJURY healed and he got into playing con dition the better part of the season would be history. By the time he had finished learning the fundamentals of a new offense, memo rizing the signals, getting his timing down right, and becoming thor oughly acquainted with the new system it would very likely be sometime in February. All of which means the youngster would go into Winter practice far behind his freshman teammates and as green as a garden pea. It wouldn't be fair to the boy and it certainly would not be fair to any college who had handed the youngster a scholarship because of his athletic ability. Football, of course, is not the only sport in which a youngster might take a physical beating. The same is true in all sports but usually to a lesser degree. Tennis Star Vic Seixas Selected On Cup Team To Face Mexicans Vic Seixas, former Carolina tennis star, has been named along with Herb Flam and Art Larsen. to represent the U. S. Davis Cup team against Mexico m the se cond round of American zone competition to be held at Rye, N. Y., Aug. 3-4-5. Seixas, who captained the ten nis team here in 1948 and 1949, became a cinch for the Davis Cup assignment by recently winning the Spring Lake chaimpionshiD and the Pennsylvania state title. beixas, ranked eighth nation ally, defeated fifth ranked Billy Talbert for the Spring Lake title, after having eliminated fourth ranked Gardner Mulloy the day before. Although assignments have not been announced, it is believed that Seixas and Larsen. Nation al champion, will draw the singles chores, and that Seixas, a Phil adelphia product, will team with Flam in the doubles play. r Vic Seixas . . . selected Mural Summer Schedule Offers Variety Of Events ine Intramural schedule for members only.
