Friday, March 17, 1933 Regulars Rally In Ninth To Shade Yannigans In Fast Game Matheson Scores Powell With Give Regulars 6-5 Win. GRIFFITH PITCHES WELL Big Hurler Shows Improvement In Workout; Croom, Peacock And Phipps Hit Homers. Carolina's regulars scored twice in the ninth inning to down the Yannigans 6 to 5 in a closely played practice baseball game, held on Emerson field yes terday afternoon. The regulars collected fourteen hits to ten for the Yannigans. Trailing two runs in the last of the ninth the regulars garner ed two singles and a double to count twice and take the contest. Dixon led off with a single and was forced at second by Croom, the latter being safe. Captain Powell then came through, doub ling to center field and bringing in the tying run. The Carolina captain scored a moment later with the winning marker on Matheson's one-timer. Peacock and Croom, regular outfielders, and Phipps, short stop for the Yannigans, tied for hitting honors, each getting a home run and a single out of five times up. Hornaday, Yan nigan outfielder, connected for three singles out of four times up while Captain Powell, third baseman, and Crouch, pitcher for the Yannigans, each got a double and a single. Griffith Fans Eight Griffith, twirling six frames for the regulars looked in his best form. The big pitcher was touched for six hits but struck out eight men. Crouch, who pitched six innings for the Yan nigans, although giving up ten hits, had lots of stuff and ought to win some games for Carolina this spring. "Both teams crossed the plate three times in the third inning. The rookies scored on two hits and a walk. Barham first up walked, and, after Temple fan ned, Brandt doubled driving in Barham. Phipps then got his four-bagger to left-center bring' mg in Brandt before him. The first string made their runs on a single, an error, and Croom's home run. Weathers and Pea cock got on base as results of an error and a hit respectively. Dixon forced Peacock at second, Weathers stopping on third. Croom then got his long homer over the left fielders head and three runs crossed the plate. Peacock's home run to deep centerfield in the fifth inning ac counted for the other regular marker. The last two Yannigan runs came in the seventh frame. Vick walked, and both runners were safe at second and first on an attempted double play of Phipps' grounder. Singles by Hornaday and Harrell, and Mc- Caskill's fly ball brought in the two runs. Shortstop Position Uncertain Coach Bunn Hearn seems to have found his right infield un less it is the shortstop position Captain Powell, Vergil Weath ers, and Bill Dixon look like fix tures at third, second, and first bases. All are good fielders and capable hitters. The shortstop Job is still a toss-up between Dutch Leonard and Johnny phipps and both are making strong bid for the post. Bil Croom and Johnnv Peacock are almost fixtures in left and cen terfield, while the other fielder wiU probably be picked from Jandt, Hornaday, Vick, and Zaiser. Call for Managers AH students wishing to try ut for manager of the baseball team are requested to report at Emerson stadium this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. I ONLY HEARD By Morrie Long Atonement for some of the de feats suffered at the hands of Duke's Blue Devils seems to be in the mind of all aspirants for spring athletics . . . and by the pre-season form shown by the majority of the Carolina squads, Duke is slated to be on the re ceiving end of several drubbings. Though Bitsy Grant is not re turning to aid Coach Kenfield's tennis team, the common con census of opinion is that the "Tar Heel racquet weilders are every bit, as formidable as last year when they swept to their second consecutive national title. Un defeated in four years of com petition, the Carolina court co- erie holds the collegiate record for straight victories, having 58 to their credit. Harvard with 39 straight wins had the most impressive college mark . . . but Kenfield's team erased that two i n TT years ago . . . witn nines as number one, the rest of the team is to be chosen from Wright, Morgan, shuford, Dillard, Har ris, Willis, Levitan, and Minor. From Emerson field come en thusiastic reports about Caro lina's ball team . . . if the antics of the mound performers are any criterion on which to base championship hopes then Coach Bunn Hearn should be anything but optimistic. Smoky Joe Grif fith of last year's club, Freddie Crouch, and Whitley, are all looking better every day . . . Captain Powell is still up to his throwing form while Weathers is hitting the old American rock as well as ever. Dixon at first, Phipps or Leonard at short, form a reliable infield while the catching assignments are to be dished out to McCaskill and Strayhorn. Zaiser in the out field looks good as does Croom, Brandt, Hornaday, and old re liable Peacock. Three of the four lettermen are back this year on Carolina's Southern conference golf cham pions. Captain Billy O'Brien Joe Adams, and Alan Smith, who won a flock of golf tourna ments during tne summer, are the veterans, Erwin Laxton and Carl Cramer are exceptionally outstanding candidates while Gwyn Harper, Fred Laxton, Pete Tyreem, Will Sadler, and Ed Michales are also to be high ly considered. McQUAGE ELECTED HEAD OF STATE COLLEGE QUINT Bob McQuage, three letter man, was elected captain of State's 1934 basketball team at a meeting of the squad Wednes day night. McQuage, who is from SaTis bury, has been a star for the past two years in football, bas ketball, and baseball. He plays quarterback on the grid team, guard on the quint team, and outfield and first base on the dia mond team. Gilbert Clark was captain of the season that just closed. The 1933 team followed the custom of electing a captain before each contest. Seventeen in Infirmary Seventeen persons were con fined to the infirmary yesterday They were: E. H. Jones, Ralph B. Cheek, G. L. Tillery, P. W, Marklev. Mary Waldo, J. C. irar ker, C. C. Glover, L. L. White Jisaku Fukusato, L. A. Dalton G. C. Kvker. C. C. Hartman, Jr. R. W. Baker, Jimmy Craig, H S. Sullivan, and L. C. Ashcraft Jr. THE DAILY FETZER PLEASED MTHjMPIEN Willingness of Green Material to Work Bolsters Coach's Hopes For Good Season. Coach Bob Fetzer, dean of southern track coaches and head track mentor at Carolina, is fac ing another track season , with only a handful of last year's vet erans on hand to bolster this year's willing but green ma terial. The Tar Heels' mentor s not pessimistic concerning Carolina's showing in the indoor carnival; in fact, he is optimis tic concerning the coming sea son. Fetzer is optimistic because his proteges have shown a won derful spirit for work and with this morale to build on, Caro- ina fans should not be disheart ened concerning the coming sea son's results. It is true that this year's track team will have to ive up to a great dual meet rec ord of some eleven years. Dur ing this interim Carolina has ost only two dual meets. Both osses came at the hands of crack eastern clubs, first by Princeton and then Penn State. The Tar Heels have lost three ' of the six record-holders of last i year's good aggregation. The men who graduated were Brown, discuss; Marland, quarter mile; and Farmer, sprints. The great est problem will be to fill their shoes, but the large contingent of fine looking sophomores should inflate the Carolina hopes some. Some of the men who are sophomores and have been im pressing coaches Fetzer and Ranson are: Abernethy, Child- ers, Williamson, Gunner, Prud en, Hawthorne, Marsden, Wald- rop, Bost, and Jackson. It will be their job to help fill the gaps in the sprints and the 440. Field Events Good The best potentialities that the Tar Heels will have to place their money should come in the field events, notably the javelin and broad jump. Leading the javelin tossers are LeGore and Chandler while the broad jump ers have a trio of outstanding men, Higby, Childers, and Hub bard. Although the Tar Heels will have to rebuild the team in sev eral events in order to make an impressive showing against such big rivals as Navy and Duke, the Carolina tracksters should show improved form from that dis played in the Southern confer ence indoor games.

Nelson Commended for ! Sportsmanship in Continuing As Sparring Partner. University, Va., March 16. Seddon C. Nelson of Winches ter, Va., has been awarded the Virginia major sport "V" in box ing although he has never com peted in an intercollegiate bout during the four seasons he has been out for the team. "We are recognizing Seddon Nelson as an ideal sportsman," reads the award of the athletic board signed by Fenton A. Gen try of Chattanooga, Tenn., president, and by Frank Sippley of Princeton, N. J., secretary. "While circumstances forbid entering him in competition, he continued to box for four years because of his love of the sport, benefiting not only himself but all his fellows. We should like to encourage such spirit as it is worthy of emulation." LaRowe Intervenes John S. LaRowe, coach of box ing, made a special plea to the athletic association board in recommending that the "V" be awarded to Nelson. He pointed out that in any other form of athletic competition it would have been possible to have used Nelson as a substitute enough for him to have earned a letter. In boxing this was not pos sible. Nelson weighs about 150 pounds. He could have entered either as welterweight or as junior-middleweight. But he'd have had to replace either Tom Fishburne, who won the South ern Conference welterweight title, or Hal Stuart, who was runner-up in the junior-middleweight class. Coach LaRowe did not think it wise to replace either of these veterans with a man of less ac tual experience. And Nelson continued uncomplainingly to act as sparring partner for both these men and for others, just as he had done in seasons past. Records do not show that the major sport "V" has ever been given to any other man who did not engage in competition. GENERAL REUNION PLANS CONSIDERED Tentative Plans for 138th Commence ment Will Follow Usual Pro gram of Activities. Plans are being considered by J. Maryon Saunders, alumni secretary, and other alumni of ficials, for a general re-union of alumni in classes to take place during the 1933 commencement week. In addition to the mass gathering, there will be the regu lar class re-unions that will bring together three college gen erations besides the feature re unions of the 50-year class, the 25-year class, and the class of 1932. Classes scheduled for re-union here are, inclusively, 1883-86, 1902-05, 1908, 1921-24, and 1932. Although only tentative plans for commencement, which will be the University's 138th, are arranged it is considered likely that the usual program will be followed, which will incude va rious campus entertainments, meetings, and social activities. The practice of performing the graduation exercises in Kenan stadium which was inaugurated last year, will probably be fol lowed again this year.
