To Strong Nine
For Heels In 34
Willie Powell, captain of this
year's Carolina baseball team !
signed a contract with the
Richmond . professional base
ball team of the Piedmont lea
gue yesterday according to in
formation received last night?
The Richmond team played
Durham there last night and
there is a chance that the for
mer Tar Heel third baseman
saw action. - ' .
The work of Captain Powell
has been watched by baseball
scouts for the past two years
and he has received favorable
recommendations from most of
them. He is considered the best
fielding third baseman among
college teams m the state.
Powell has a strong, and accur
ate arm that any infielder in
baseball would be proud of.
Powell is one of quite a few
Tar Heels that have been sign
ed by professional teams dur
ing the past few years, and
will be opposing two former
teammates in the loop that he
is getting a trial in. Louis
Whitehead and Maus, center
fielder and catcher, respectively,
play with Greensboro of the
Piedmont league. Maus was
also a former Carolina captain.
Other Carolina stars of recent
years with professional teams
are Burgess Whitehead, shorts

out on top with a 2-1 decision,
the first win for the Tar Heels
over the Blue Devils since 1931.
Titles at Stake
Although Duke has no chance
for any of the championships,
Carolina will be battling for two.
The Tar Heels are sure of a tie
with State in the Southern Con
ference even if they lose. How
ever a win will give Carolina an
undisputed championship in the
Conference with ten wins and
only one defeat. South Caro
ina has a perfect record but has
nlaved onlv three conference
contests so will not be counted.
In the Big Five a win will put
Carolina in a tie with Davidson
for the title, while a loss will
give Carolina a tie with Duke
and Wake Forest for second
place honors.
Leonard will be at third for
Carolina, the University dusi
ness office putting a stop to Cap
tain Powell's college - career as
a result of a mixup. Besides
Powell, who played his last game
ae-ainst Randolph - Macon last
week, and Griffith, Johnny Pea-
cock, centerfielder, will be tne
only Tar Heel who will play nis
last college contest today.

Shepard Chosen As
Director Of Athletics
( Continued from first page)
the breach left by Rex En
right's resignation and coached
the Carolina freshmen to a Big
Five title. During the same
year he served as assistant
graduate manager and director
of intramural athletics. .
Basketball Coach
He was appointed varsity
basketball coach two years ago
and his 1932 team went to the
finals of the conference tourna
ment, while his team this year
went to the semi-finals. He has
shown conspicuous ability both
as administrator and coach.
Mr. Woollen, who has been
connected with the University
in an administrative capacity
since 1901, has been identified
with the management of athlet
ics since 1910, when he accepted
appointment as treasurer of the
Athletic association. In 1913
he was also named graduate
manager and continued as
treasurer.
When he was asked to take
over the management of ath
letic affairs in 1910, Mr. Wool
len, with the hearty support of
faculty and alumni committees
on athletics, formulated a policy
calling for increasingly higher
standards for athletics and im
mediately set out to arrange the
most attractive schedules pos
sible and to place the Athletic
association upon a sound finan
cial basis.
During this period there have
come to the institution more at
tractive schedules, steadily in
creasing attendance at games,
better coaches, and better
equipment, to mention a few of
the improvements.
Mr. Woollen directed the
movement which led to the gift
by William Rand Kenan, Jr., of
Kenan Memorial stadium.
His program of extension has
also called for an adequate gym
nasium, which is still greatly
needed, but largely through his
efforts the legislature . was per
suaded to alleviate congested
conditions in the old gymnas
ium, built in 1904, by the con
struction of the large - indooi
sports arena known as the Tin
Can.
Along with these improve
ments have come additional
prestige and influence resulting
from a wide administration of
the University's athletic affairs
and active participation in the
Southern Conference and other
organizations looking to the
highest standards in scholar
ship as well as athletics.
The record shows that under
the management of Mr. Wool
len, University athletics took an
upward turn and have never
changed their course.
Notice To Athletes
R. A. Fetzer, director of
athletics, requests all students
with University athletic equip
ment to return same to Ser
geant Keller at the store room
Wednesday and Thursday
from 9:00 to 5:00 o'clock.
Prompt cooperation is ex
pected in this request.
Famous Old Baseballer Enjoys
Two Weeks9 Stay At Carolina
- : : o
Bill Bradley, Former Big League Star and at Present Scout for
Cleveland Indians, Takes Rest in Southern Clime and
Becomes Ardent Tar Heel Fan During Sojourn.
One of the most integral units
of a big league baseball club is
its scouting organization. In
fact, several noted baseball au
thorities have said that a major
league club is no better than its
scouting system.
At present there is in Chapel
Hill, in the capacity of an Amer
ican League scout, one of. base
ball's greatest luminaries in the
person of ; Bill Bradley, ivory
hunter for the Cleveland In
dians. As Bradley says, the past
two weeks that he has been in
Chapel Hill are among the fin
est that he has spent on the
road, and he should know, for
he has been hunting rookies for
the past six years.
Rises From Sandlots
Bradley's career reads, like a
Horatio Alger novel ; it was a
rise from the sandlots to a point
where he ranked with Jimmy
Collins as the game's greatest
third basemen. Bradley was
born in Cleveland and played
with some amateur sandlot clubs
there when he attracted the at
tention of a Chicago National
scout. After . serving a four
months apprenticeship in the
minors, Bill broke in with the
Chicago club in 1899. At that
time. Chicago was a member of
the twelve club National League.
In 1901 Bill was sent to the
Cleveland Indians where he
reigned supreme as guardian of
the hot corner for ten years.
At Cleveland he had to over
come handicap after handicap.
One year he was laid low by a
severe attack of typhoid fever
and in 1906 when the Indians
and the Yankees were fighting
for the pennant, BilFs arm was
broken by one the New York
pitchers, Hobb. But in spite of
that Bradley was a consistent
.300 hitter, which was no little
feat with the dead ball. In fact,
in 1903 Bill was nosed out by
Buck Freeman, an outfielder
with the Boston Red Sox, for
the slugging championship of
the league, and that was by one
base; That year Bradley out
slugged such hitters as Ed De
lehanty, Nap Lajoie, his team
Remaining Veterans and Prom
ising Freshmen Should Fill
Positions Left Open.
With the last game today, .
Carolina baseball fans begin
looking forward t6 a strong
team next season. Only three
men will be lost by graduation
this year and things look even
brighter for a great team next
season.
Joe Griffith, ace pitcher, will
be the only loss from the .Tar
Heel pitching staff. Captain
Powell, star a third base, and
Johnny Peacock, centerfielder,
are the other losses. Although
thest positions will be hard to
fill, several good freshman
prospects are coming up and the
other men will have profited by
experience this year.
Contrary to information al
ready given out, McCaskill is
eligible for another year, and
the hard hitting catcher should
show up even better in his final
season as a Tar Heel. Both
Matheson, a junior, and Stray
horn, a sophomore will be back
to assist Lamy in the backstop

shown their worth as . hurler s

mate, Charles Hickman, and
Chick Stahl.' - '
Goes to Brooklyn
In 1914 when the Federal
League was formed, Bradley was
one of the "rebels" who jumped
the old association and went to
Brooklyn where he served as
manager until 1917 at which
time he dropped out of organ
ized ball. But the yearning was
too great and in 1928 he signed
up as a scout for the Cleveland
