BVP, Lewis No. 2
Battle For Title
CHAPEL HILL, N. C, THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1939
V PRINT TO FIT
By SHELLEY ROLFE
Anyway you figure things, John Kenfield was quite a success at the business
of coaching tennis this spring. He made the books balance way into the blue
and returned a national championship team for the eighth time in years, pilot
ing the Tar Heels through 19 straight wins against no defeats and only three
tight pulls against Princeton, Harvard and Yale on the northern trip.
And to cap the commendable fact of winning the national title, Bill Rood of
the local cast snatched for himself the brightest bauble the Southern confer
ence, can bestow upon a tennis player and etc. the singles championship. Of
course, Maryland's Allie Ritzenberg and Natie Askins upset the veritable
Eden by snatching the doubles title, the first time in six years it has not rested
in Chapel Hill, but after all you have to let the other fellows around the league
win once in a while to keep their interest up.
If ever a national championship was manufactured with a lot of umph,
eh very well, be academic and say determination, will to win, and the die
for dear old Rutgers, Carolina and Kenfield spirit, and coaching genius,
this is it. Of course Mr. Kenfield almost shrunk with horror when it was
suggested coaching had a lot to do with the winning. "Never," he said,
"the fellows played together and got hot'at the right time and never let
down. That's what turned the trick for us."
Now Mr. Kenfield may be correct there, but anybody with half an eye won't
have to look far to discover this year's team was far from the best Kenfield has
had to mold with in recent years. It had no really big stars who had much
chance of ever amounting , to anything in the hot limelight of international
amateur tennis.
"Well," admitted the coach, "we didn't have any big stars as we have had in
other years. In fact, the team was far from being the best we've had in re
cent years.- . Why, it really isn't as strong as last year's team. This year,
though, the boys clicked together and that was all-important in winning for us.
This year's team realized the importance of playing together. You .
may remember that last season we failed in the doubles at critical times.
However in beating Princeton, Yale and Harvard last week we swept the
doubles. You know, the doubles won for us there and they count just as
much in the scoring as the singles."
One question led to another until someone in the corner who had been listen
ing attentively perked up and asked, "what makes a good doubles player?"
"Well," Kenfield answered, "a good singles player does not necessarily make
a good doubles player. Co-ordination and ability to work together with an
other boy makes for good doubles men. A fellow with a good overhand may
not be much of a singles man but he will go over big in doubles." .
Getting away from such technical matters, Kenfield was asked what about
next year.
"Oh, we're losing both Roods and Fuller," he replied. "But Rider, Rawlings
and Meserole among others showed enough this season to give us hope for next
spring. - .
"Right now, I'd say Rawlings has the best chance to go places of anybody
coming back. The trouble with him though is that he's too erratic. He'll
play good one week and cool down another. If he can develop consistency he
oght to go pretty far." . ' .
The hot and cold charge may be true concerning Rawlmgs. He was cer
tainly plenty good up north when he swept his singles matches against Yale,
Harvard and Princeton. And he went on into the finals of the. conference
singlesJ It might be also added that when he lost the singles finals to Rood
Tuesday, Rawlings beat himself with his errors.
Rawlings, Rood and Meserole form a strong foundation for another
blue-ink team next year. Kenfield thinks a stiff summer of good tennis
will get the fellows up from the freshman team ready. He especially ukes
the looks of Harris Everett who transferred here the winter quarter and
was not eligible for frosh play this spring.
But there is no use getting alarmed over the prospects, or lack of them, for
next spring If Mr. Kenfield has any kind of material he wril produce not only
a winning team but a close to miraculous club. He did this time out.
Bo Shepard, who watches money matters of the athletic association, rushes
to tte bar to explain someone read a financial statement wrong when it was
nagged to tne Daily Tar Heel last week by Bill Beerman that the association
had a $70,000 profit for the last nscai year,

DISTANCE EVENTS
TO BE CLOSEST OF
CONFERENCE MEET
By LEONARD LOBRED
The distance events in the Southern
Conference outdoor meet here on Fet
zer field this Weekend appear to be
the closest and most unpredictable,
just as was the case in the indoor
games last winter.
Frank Cronin and Coleman Head
ley of Maryland, winners of the 440
and 880 last year, will not be back,
but Jimmy Davis of Carolina, mile
champion, and Joe Peaslee 6f Mary
land, two mile champ, are to return to
defend their titles. The field in the
quarter mile is wide open to anyone,
and six men are about equal.
Royce Jennings of Carolina and
Harold Johnson of Duke lead the
field on paper because of their race
against each other earlier this year.
Jennings' time of :48.6, a new Caro
lina' and Fetzer field mark, was also
designated as Johnson's time because
Jennings' lead at the finish was only
a few inches. Alan Miller of Mary
land, who set a new conference in
door quarter record in winning the
440 in the indoor games, and Harvey
of Washington and Lee, who won the
880 as a sophomore two years ago,
have run : 50 flat. Curl of W & L with
a : 50.1 and Ragon of the same school

perienced quarter field. Ochsensrei-

run second, to Miller in almost all of

Mr. Mann Of Duke
Spills Grid Dope
By WILLIAM L. BEERMAN
Ted Mann, Bob Madry, J. Laurence
Leonard, and Houston Lawing sat in
the bleachers yesterday afternoon and
told naughty stories in between
pitches of the Carolina-Duke heart
break. The four gentlemen are va
riously connected with the newspaper
business, the first mentioned pair
being sports publicists . and the last
two Greensboro sports writers.
Therefore the naughty stories.
vBut anyway, in the course of events
which transpired during the woefully
warm afternoon, the foursome dropped
bits qf information here and there
that might bear repeating. Well, Mann
did.
.Even with his Duke affiliation, Ted
Mann is a nice guy. "Hello," he says,
"how are you people on the west of
Heaven?" (Figure out the location of
a place once called Trinity and cuss
awhile).
Mann had more to say, and while
Leonard, Madry, and Lawing were
arguing over the comparative merits
of the two Philadelphia teams, he
divulged a bit of football news. "Y
know," he confided, "that was a bunch

VICICERY, HUDSON
LAST TO SEVENTH,
EIGHTH INNINGS
By SHELLEY ROLFE
With both sides doing their utmost
to give the game to the other, Duke
and Carolina, alleged to be the two
best college baseball teams in the
country, met at Emerson field yester
day afternoon before some 4,500 cus
tomers, and the Blue Devils, making
only three errors against four by the
Tar Heels, won, 6-5, taking their ninth
straight Big Five game of the sea
son and handing Carolina its first
home defeat of the season.
The two teams bent over backwards
to give the battle away., Carolina and
Duke alternated in making errors and
giving up unearned runs. The Tar
Heels proved better at the business,
making one more error than the
Devils and one less run. They also
left 11 men on base.
Duke hopped into an early lead
by making three runs on three hits
and two Carolina errors in the sec
ond inning. The Tar Heels retaliated
with two In their turn of the third
without the help of any Blue Devil
miscues and tied the game up in the .
fifth. After that it was every man
for himself as Duke made two in the
sixth, Carolina two in the seventh,
and Duke the final and winning run
in Jhe eighth.
HUDSON, VICKERY
Embarrassed by the fielding lapses
of their mates, Bud Hudson, start
ing Tar Heel hurler, and Bob Vick
ery, who did the opening honors for
Duke, failed to last out the game.
Vickery was removed in the midst
of a Tar Heel rally in the, seventh ,
when our boys made two runs and
threatened to keep at bat until time
for the night game at Greensboro
Saturday. Jim Tomkins came to
Vickery's aid and managed to put the
side out and hold Carolina away from
the plate the rest of the game.
Big Tar Heel winner of the sea
son, Hudson was put in the hole in
the second inning when Duke made
their three runs prodded along by two
Carolina errors. Bud managed to get
deeper and deeper into a muddle un
til he was removed for a pinch-hitter
in the eighth inning after allowing
ten hits. Sam Davis, who by actual
count hurled seven innings in the

eight games and lost none. BVP with
61 runs has five more than its oppo
nents. Both teams have been scored
upon only four times, but only one
earned run has been gained off of both
teams.
Both teams have been sparked
throughout the season by the brilliant
performances of their pitchers and the
game should be a mound duel. Fran
Gordon of recent no-hit fame over Man
gum has been B VP's leading figure
throughout the season. He has led the
BVP team to all eight of its victories,
six of these being shutouts. He has al
lowed four runs, only one of these have
been earned. In the eight games that
he has twirled he has allowed only 18
hits, an average of 24 a game, and
to top all of this he has fanned 48 bats
men. SLEBODA OF LEWIS
Sleboda has been almost as effective.
In seven games that he has won, the
eighth victory came as a result of a
forfeit, he has shutout four teams while
allowing only four runs in the other
games;' only one of these runs was
battles with the Virginia and W & L j earned. He has allowed twenty scat-
lacrosse teams Friday and Saturday
afternoons.
The Tar Heels can finish no better
than third in the circuit, a slight im
provement over last year's cellar fin
ish.' One win over the weekend will
assure Carolina of the third slot but
two loHes will sink the ten into a
last place tie with the Virginia Cava
liers. W & L's Generals will be striv
ing to tie the Duke Blue Devils for
the league diadem with a victory over
the Tar Heels and they are heavy
favorites to cop the crown.

ablished themselves as the class of the
