APRIL 14, 1934 THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE RACK. -.TEH! I AC IMS JULILla iLii 1 A CIP? A If IF AD GO TEAKS Tar, Heels' Undefeated Nine To Meet Wake Forest Here Today Carolina Meets Wake Forest in Crucial Test for Big Five Dia mond Laurels at 3:30 O'clock en Emerson Field. FRED CROUCH WILL PITCH With two weeks of play be hind them Carolina's undefeated nine returns home today and will play Wake Forest in a crucial Big Five battle. The contest will start at 3 :30 o'clock on Emerson field. The game will likely feature a pitchers' battle between "Elon" Crouch, Carolina, and Bill Her ring, Deacon, both right-handers. .To date Crouch is unde feated, having twirled four - of the Tar Heel victories. Her ring's best game -to date was a 4-2 win over State, in which he set the Wolf pack down with only six hits. Crouch's Record In his four games Crouch has yielded only 23 safe blows and he has been able to finish each contest. Coach Hearn will have Ernest McKeithan ready in case anything goes wrong. The soph omore has pitched one game, set ting Davidson back with but four bingles. Both Carolina and Wake For est are unbeaten in the Big Five, the Deacons getting a victory, in their only start, over State. Carolina has twice defeated Davidson in its only state games. Deacons to Be Tough The Deacons will likely be a tougher club than any Carolina has met so far. Wednesday Wake Forest took on the Wil mington professional team and beat the-Piedmont League out fit, 14-10. Regardless of the cool weath er yesterday, Coach Hearn sent his boys through a lengthy bat ting and fielding drill. The same strong infield will perform again for the Tar Heels. So far the lone sophomore, Tommy Irwin, has fielded perfectly at short stop and the speedy blond has made plenty of fine stops and throws. Coach Hearn's supposedly weak outfield has been coming through in great fashion with the hitting of Vick, centerfield er, and Tatum, rightfielder, es pecially encouraging. These two boys are sure starters, while either Mclver or Shapiro will be in leftfield.

Although little is known of the powers of the Washington boys, they are expected to have an improved team over the last year's squad. In the recent con ference indoor meet the George town boys made a good showing. The Carolina team has shown possibilities of going far this season. Losing a close 66-60 meet to the fast Dartmouth ! crew, they retaliated with an easy win over W. and M. - Two Relays in Order Two relays are to be run but will not count on the ; official scores between the two schools. The two baton runs are the 440 relay and the 880 relay. The two Carolina captains will be looking for some new records today if the weather permits. Ralston LeGore, who set a new Dixie record in Jiis last perform ance here with a toss of 212 feet 7 inches, has his eyes out in fur ther territory. His improve ment has been steady and he has an excellent chance to come near and maybe break the intercolle giate record in one of the com ing outdoor affairs.

HACKNEY INDIVIDUAL STAR A fast Durham high team completely ran away with the State High School Track cham pionship yesterday at Emerson field, a good 15 points ahead of the runners-up, Charlotte, de fending champs, and Barium Springs. By taking five first places and following up with many of the lower positions, the boys from Durham stepped into a substan tial lead early in the meet, and after the first five events their superiority was not even threat ened. Official score : Durham, 39 ; Charlotte and Barium Springs tied for second with 24; High Point, 22; and Kernersville, 10.' Hackney Individual Star Elmore Hackney of Durham took individual honors, scoring 13 noints. He took firsts in both the dashes and captured a sec ond in the broad jump. He ran the 220 in 22 seconds flat, four- tenths of a second better than the old record. Due to the strong wind, however, the mark was not allowed to stand as a new record. Hendricks of the third place Hicrh Point sauadwon second individual honors with his 11 points from a first in the pole vault and seconds in the javelin and discus. Willard of Kerners ville, took firsts in both the dis cus and the shot to take third honors for the meet and to score all the points made by his team which finished fifth just behind High Point. Goldsboro Ties Record The mile relay record of 3:40.4 was tied by the fast-step ping quartet of Goldsboro. Each of the boys gained much terri tory on his opponent and the fourth man was nearly a hun dred yards ahead of the Char lotte man, his nearest contender. The team consisted of Graham, Davis, Porter, and James, run ning in order. Hackney was the leader of his victorious team together with Southerland who tallied eight points to his team's cause.t Mor ris Freeman, Oliver, and John son led the Barium Springs squad to their second place tie (Continued on last page) the week for the Tar Heels.

Wins State Over Strong Stars Entered Late Bulletin (Special Release) Davidson College, April 13. Duke evened up the series with Davidson's Wildcats here today, turning back the Pres byterian college nine, 12-1. Giants Favored JJoCop National League Pennant Champions, However, May Find Going Tough as Opponents Have Improved. By Jimmie Morris With the opening day of play set for less than a week away, baseball experts and writers are attempting to pick the order of the major league teams at the finish in September. This year as a result of much trading and the fine showing of many re cruits, the American and Na tional league races will likely be closer than they have been for several years. ; In the. National loop five teams are being considered for top po sition. These outfits' in the gen eral order of selection are New York, present title club, Chica go, Fittsburgn, St. Louis, and Boston. The Giants, surprise of last year, with almost the same team set to go again, are the favor ites. New York will sport the pitching staff of Hubbell, Fitz simmons, Parmalee, and Schu macher, considered by many the greatest for its size in baseball Davis, . outfielder, will be the only man missing from last year's lineup. Davis was traded for Watkins, a Cardinal and a supposedly heavier hitter. Ott and Moore will fill the other two gardens with Lefty O'Doul acting as relief man and pinch hitter. Gus Mancuso, big catcher, will likely be missing behind the bat for a couple of weeks as a re sult of sickness, Richards, a former North Carolina boy, act ing as substitute. Manager Terry has more vet erans than he knows what to do with in the infield and may even have to hold his famous spark plug, Blondy Ryan, on the bench. Besides Ryan, who is a shortstop, Terry has himself at first, the veterans Critz and Jackson, at second and short, Earl Ruth XTins Singles Crovo For 2nd Time; Charlotte TJins Doubles GOLF AND NETTiIEN TO MEET STRONG OPPOSITMTODAY Carolina Golfers Meet Furman University Outfit in Morning Afternoon Match; Tennis Team Meet Lynchburg Coun try Club. BOTH CLUBS ARE STRONG An integral part of Carolina's big four-ring"athletic circus to day will be the scheduled dual meets of the Tar Heels' golf and tennis teams. The golf and tennis teams, which are both tutored by Coach John F. Kenfield, will swing in to action in dual meets. The linksmen will meet the strong Furman University club,' the conquerors of Richmond Univer sity, in a morning and afternoon setto. Netters Meet Lynchburg But the net contingent will meet the Lynchburg Country club aggregation this afternoon in a dual match, starting at 2 :30 o'clock. The Lynchburg outfit is featured with several former outstanding stars, Alphonso Smith, great University of Vir ginia satellite, and Harry For syth, another Cavalier; .raquet wielder, plus an additional group of local talent. Carolina's netters are . fresh from their conquests in the North-South .Tennis tourney where they made a good account for the Tar Heel colors, con sidering the fast field of talent that they had to face. Harvey Harris and Walter Levitan weathered the second round op position and were finally ousted in third round play. The Tar Heel dubbers came through Thursday with their annual Duke series with a bril liant .10-8 triumph. Kenfield's links artists ran up large enough lead to all but clinch the match on the first day's play. Thurs day the Jbrilliant foursome of Captain Erwin Laxton and of Lane Fulenwider won the need ed two points. The half point needed for victory came when Harris and Michaels, although beaten, took a. half point when the Blue Devil combine of Pow ell and Budd dropped the first side. The Carolina golfing outfit has steadily improved from their early season form shown against Richmond and Georgetown and should be good to come through with a win today if improved play can be combined with con sistency. and Vergez at the hot corner. Giants Looking Bad So far in the spring exhibi tion games the Giants have been on the losing end of the score most of the time. However, Terry claims his team looks bet ter than it did this time last year and will cut loose when the season opens. The name champions may be a serious handicap to New York in its effort to repeat. Last sea son, picked to finish in the sec ond division, the big city boys flashed the greatest amount of fight and will to win seen in the major leagues in quite a while. This year, considered as the best, New York may not have this extra determination to come out ahead. Another thing, al though his batting is weak, Man ager Terry may miss the chat ter and pep of his rookie short stop when the going is especial ly tight. Ruth Meets Less Opposition Than Expected, Downing Bkk ford Long of Roxboro, 6-2 and 6-0. RUTH'S STEADINESS WINS By Mario n R. Alexander (Special to the Daily Tab Heel) With Earl Ruth winning the singles title for the second con secutive year and Tommie Campbell and Johnny Spratt writing their names on the dou bles championship plaque for the first time, Charlotte high made a clean sweep of honors in the finals of the State High School .Tennis tournament here yesterday. Ruth met with less opposition than expected, defeating Mau rice Canady of Wilmington, 6-0, 6-3, in the semi-finals and win ning the championship from Bickford Long of Roxboro, 6-2, 6-0. Ruth Is Steady Tall, rangy, and cool, with a good but not brilliant all-around game, the biggest factor in both Ruth's matches was his veteran steadiness. The 14-year old Canady, whose brilliant stroking was the sensation of Thursday's play, was nervous and off form and failed to give the champion any thing like the match expected. Win from Washington Steady play of Campbell and . the left-handed drives and over head shots of Spratt featured in the clever little Charlotte team's 6-4, 7-5 victory in the doubles finals over Gene Harrington and E. Stewart of Washington. Har rington's driving was outstand ing for Washington. Charlotte ran up a 4-0 lead in the first set. Washington pulled up to 2-4' and 3-5, but Charlotte settled down and broke Harring ton's service for the deciding- game. Campbell Takes Service After the second set had see sawed back and forth up to 5-5, Campbell won his service 60-15,. taking the last point with a pret ty drive, and he and Spratt again broke Harrington's ser vice 60-15 to take the match. Their victory reflected excellent teamwork and, like Ruth's, cool ness and steadiness. Charlotte had had a chance to run the second set out 6-4' also having match point on Stewart's service, but Spratt netted a drive that would have brought vic tory, and Washington settled! down and squared things up 5-5. In the doubles semi-finals yes terday morning Campbell and Spratt defeated Alvin Ljung and Howard King of Greensboro, 6-0, 6-0, while Harrington and Stewart nosed out Bill Rawlings and Andrew Sutton of Winston Salem, 6-4, 8-6. In the other singles semi-finals Long- beat Ted Collins of Durham, 6-4; 6-3.
