Wednesday, November 20, 1929 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Pa2 Hires ryan. Hjrranc JUei-eats Jan Yeomans In Tennis Mate Atlanta Star Defeats Varsity Player 6-2, 6-2, 5-7, 6-3; Meets Hines Tomorrow. i D. K. E, DEFEATS PI KAPPA PfflS Bryan Grant - of Atlanta de feated Ed Yeomans of Washing ton, D. C, 6-2, 6-2, 5-7, .6-3, here yesterday afternoon in the semi finals of the University tennis tournament. This victory "gives Grant the right to meet Wilmer Hines in the finals Thursday. Grant, who holds the South ern men's titie, played a brilliant defensive game throughout the match, and his consistent return ing of Yeomans' fore- and back hand drives drew repeated ap plause from the gallery. Jump ing into the lead by winning Yeo mans' first serve, the Atlanta youngster retained his advan tage and was never in much dan ger of being overtaken. Although rather weak on his service, Grant more than offset this handicap by his ability to return Yeomans' most difficult strokes, chopping them back un til Yeomans made a misplace ment. In the four sets Grant served a total of -twelve double faults, as against six for his op ponent, and at the same time failing to score a single service ace. Yeomans was not especial ly dangerous oh his serve, but his placement was accurate and on three occasions he was able to serve aces. - The playing was close during the entire match, with only one love game. Grant held Yeomans nointless in the fifth game of the first set, during the tatter's serve. Yeomans played an of fensive game most of the time, with Grant chopping, lobbing and volleying them back with rnmm end able persistence. The play was reminiscent of that en gaged in last -spring in -the state intercollegiate finals between Yeomans and Grady Frank, di minutive Duke star. But Yeo mans failed to break through Grant's defense as he did Frank's and as a result took the short end of the count. Yeo mans pulled in his wild strokes and by close, conservative play was able to take the third set 7-5. The rest of the match was easily Grant's. . . Wilmer Hines. whom Grant plays in the finals Thursday, is a player of swift serves and skill at the 'net. Hines, who. hails from Columbia, S. C., won the southern amateur title last year and ranked fifth in the national iunior lists before he passed the I junior age limit. Both Hines and Grant are freshmen. Four Good Reserves r n Meet Betas In Finals For Fra ternity League Championship; Chatham Is Star of Game In the semi-finals of the fra ternity league D. K. E. won from Pi Kappa Phi 13-0. This score does not represent the real dif ference in strength of the two teams as the Dekes presented a consistant, powerful attack and a strong defense, while the at tack of the Pi Kappa Phis was extremely erratic. T, K. E. threatened early in the first quarter, carrying, the ball inside the 15. yard line, but at this point the Pi Kaps .braced and the ball went over on downs xnc,y were neia ior aowns on the 12 yard line and the Dekes got the ball again on a poor punt. A long pass, Chatham to Dunn, put the ball on the eignt yard line as the quarter ended. On the first" play of the second quar ter Chatham ran the ball across. His attempt to kick goal failed by inches. Pi Kappa Phi began a drive after kick-off which was ended when Chatham . intercepted a pass on his own 15 yard line. His pass to Dunn was good for 40 yards, but Pi Kappa Phi took revenge by intercepting another as the half ended.' The second half was marked by the number of intercepted passes by both teams with D. K. E. haying a slight advantage over their Opponents. ' Late in the third quarter McAllister intercepted a pass and was final ly downed on the 15 yard line. Chatham passed to Lineberger for the touchdown. .Chatham kicked goal. Little of interest occurred in the fourth quarter with Deke fighting to hold their lead and Pi Kappa Phi making a desperate attempt to score. The game ended with the ball in the possession of the Dekes on their own 40 yard line. The play of Chatham, Gray and McAllister was outstanding for the Dekes, while Williams and Glenn were best for the Pi Kappa Phis. The Dekes, by virtue of their victory in this game, will meet the Betas today to decide the championship of the fraternity league. 16 Qualifiers In Golf Tournament x X V & m y&tc r 'Heinie" Anderson THERON BROWN GEORGE THOMPSON c4K-::.'.. iKwAcy ii MiiMMMiiMiiiMirimiiri iiinirriiiii'iTninrrifiiiitiiiiiiiBiTiiiiiiwg.iiBwiii n i i.l si WITH eight games scratched from the 1929 schedule and only one of those lost the Tar Heels easily outclass other members of the Big Five. In addition to their probable receipt of the state title, the varsity is by no means entirely out of Southern Conference running. TULANE and Tennessee are at present the leaders in the S. I. C., but they still have other games to play. Tulane plays its last conference game of the sea son with L. S. U. Sports writers predict a Tulane victory, but up sets are still in style. Tenn essee has two conference games left on the schedule, and wins are predicted for the Vols over both South Carolina and Ken tucky, but a slip in either game would cause a new deal. A Correction The Tar Heel wishes to cor rect an error in yesterday's write-up of the freshman game with Maryland. Abrams scored the first Carolina touchdown, and not McNeil, as was stated. Deacons lamed the Wildcats but lost to the Woifpack. The Wildcats clawed the Woifpack for a victory, and which two games are to be taken in fore casting this game. Wake Forest is conceded as having a chance to win, but not much more. RED" PARSLEY ELLIS CREW During the past few games these Tar Heels have proved themselves of varsity calibre. George Thompson has been a val uable tackle while substituting for Koenig. Theron Brown has proven himself an able pass received. Ellis Crew has helped Cap tain Farris take good care of left Guard. Red Parsley has been looking very good at left end here of late. BACKS GET HARD WORK YESTERDAY Three Backfields Used By Coaches In Hard Drill; Mag ner and Wyrick Work. Sports Editor Of Atlanta Journal Lauds Tar Heels The North Carolina Tar Heels have just comeln for a nice piece of praise from Morgan Blake, sports editor of the Atlanta Journal. Commenting on the Tar Heels' showing in general and the Geor gia disaster, Blake wrote in his column, in part: "North Carolina has looked like a million dollars m every i game except the Georgia battle, and they faltered only in the fourth quarter of this contest. ' "The writer believes that North Carolina, playing in top form, might be able to beat either Tulane or Tennessee. It seems, somehow or other, that fate played a strange prank on this great club, which may be the strongest team in Dixie." Blake also paid a splendid tribute to the Tar Heel attitude after their defeat. He said: "They took the defeat with splendid sportsmanship,-made no alibis, and proceeded to carry on brilliantly against other op ponents." In the qualifying round of the U. N. C. golf tournament yes terday, afternoon at Hope Val ley country club 16 out of 22 candidates qualified. Charlie Chatham turned In the lowest qualifying score of 82, while Paul Carter followed close behind with an 83. Bill Petty with an 85 took third honors but will be given second place as Carter will drop out. The lowest score for nine holes was turned in, by B. L. Goodes who shot a 38 coming in. The first round of the tourna ment will be played this after- 1 TT TT 11 -. 1 noon at iope vaney country club. Each succeeding day the survivors will compete. Out of the 16 men qualifying there were eight freshmen, six varsity and two' transfers. Thnse Qualifying and their scores are as follows: rhnrliA Chatham 82. Alex Brown 98; V. L. Goodes 86, R. J. Mebane 91; W. C. Crawford 85, E. G. Ballenger 90; Aubrey Brooks 87, Frank Sample 95 Bill Petty 85, C. V. Barkley 89 Meade Willis 86, J. A. Hudson 94: Luther- Stuart 86, Billy Rornps 91 : W. J O'Brien 89 George Saunders 102. One of the largest nuggets of Oregon weighs 80 ounces. Intramural Games CAROLINA is given the mar gin over both Virginia and Duke in her last two conference j games. Although Duke has a clean slate in the S. I. C. and it is possible, but not probable, that she may finish the season with a-1.000, per cent average in the southern conference. Even if this should be the case it would not give the Blue Devils a very strong claim for a share in the title of the conference due to the small number of confer ence games played by the Dur ham aggregation. '. i TENNIS at U. N. C. has some brilliant prospects for the com ing season. The varsity has a good team, but the freshman team will be almost unbeatable. The semi-finals of the tennis tournament was between" Grant and Yeomans, one of the varsity outstanding members, and showed the rank of this frosh with the varsity. Wilmer Hines, another freshman, plays the winner of the semi-finals in the finals. Other prominent freshman players are: Abels, Barnett, and Wright. REPORTS FROM THE BOX RING show that another Sou thern Champion team is in the making. Led by Captain Archie Allen, Light Weight Southern Title holder, the mitmen are mixing things up in preparation for another hard season. Thinking in terms of the heavy lines of Virginia and Duke, the Tar Heel coaches con centrated attention yesterday on drilling their shifty stable of backs in new tricks at side-step- ping, nip novmg, ana last but not least, blocking. i It was the first " day's work after the Davidson game, and there was plenty of it. Coach Cerney drilled the backs, while Coach Collins worked the line men in another sector of the field on taking out opposing line men, bucking, and so on. Pete Wyrick, veteran quarter, was back on the full-time, hard work list. Jim Magner, of eight- yard fame, had to be content again with only a light work out. BotK have about recovered from injuries. A new backfield combination appeared in the practice yes terday which puts together four of the flashiest stars in the Tar Heel camp and which might become permanent. Johnny Branch, the sophomore broken field ace, was quarterback, with Jimmy Maus, stellar passer, at left half ; Chuck Erickson, brok en field ace, at right half; and Henry House," hard driving plunger, at full. , Pete Wyrick was quarterback for the veteran outfit of Ward and Nash, halfbacks, and Spaul- ding, fullback. A third backfield showed Jimmy Moore, quarter ; George Houston and Redf ern, alternating at left half; Rip Slusser, right half ; and Pap Harden, fullback. . The blocking looked good on the whole, but quite ragged in spots, and the Tar Heel mentors probably will be stressing this item on the training menu fdr the seven days left before the Virginia game. Rip Slusser gave promise in the . day's punting drill of tak ing over that duty for the -Tar Heels. The stellar sophomore was getting long and high spirals down the field for an average of more than 40 yards. Zeta Psi won from Sigma Al pha Epsilon 7 to 0. Manly won over Ruffin 6 to 0. New Dorms won from Mangum 18 to 0. Sig ma Nil won from Sigma Phi Sigma 1 to 0. Beta Theta Pi won from Phi Delta Theta 7 to 0. Epsilon Phi Delta announces the initiation of the following members,: E, R. Hamer, Beverly Moore, Clyde Dunn, T. B. Rector and Lawrence Hammond. Membership in the Boy Scouts lost 10,000 last year. THE Tar Heels will rest until the annual Turkey Day classic with Virginia. Perhaps this "rest" may show some good scrimmages between the varsity and the Tar Babies, and give on lookers a chance to size up next year's prospects from the frosh. WAKE FOREST and Duke will settle their arguments when they meet in Durham thjs Saturday. The Demon Deacons are hoped to succumb to the wiles of the Blue Devils. . The . THE SOUTHERN CONFER ENCE CROSS COUNTRY MEET to be held in Chapel Hill this Saturday will bring the news spotlight to Chapel Hill in spite of the absence of football games here. In the meet this Saturday, some of the most out standing Cross Country and dis tance runners in the South will compete. Young, of Georgia, and Barkley, of Carolina are ex pected to lead the field. THE CAKE RACE this Fri day will be one of the largest that has ever been held at Caro lina. The number of entries so far has seta new Cake Hace at tendance record and no doubt several Cake Race records will be approached in the coming event. - Yesterday Wake Forest and P.
