C THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1940 playptnmdl EBsil psims SpFDimcDj MnniraiH SssisdDim . Straight Stuff c by BILL BEERMAN Contrary to popular rumor, the Carolina baseball team has not been banded for the season, and those 19 remaining games scheduled will be played. Played, friend, in a murderous frame of mind that will give the other fellow no quarter. Mr. Bunn Hearn of the local tobacco-chewing forces, knowing full well that catching, pitching, and hitting weaknesses have cost him three straight games, is experimenting tese lax days between contests with certain revisions on his squad. The conclusion reached by inevitable iznocent bystanders does not bode par ticular joy for Michigan tomorrow. Sophomore John "Lefty" Chesh ire has taken the long walk from monnd to bench in two games, each time before theclose of the third inning. His fire-balling tactics of last season are hibernating at pres- . A A. I ent, bat intimate acquaintances claim Lefty is just warming up to become a mid-season tornado. Little George Ralston did six in nings of chunking Tuesday, proving a few things besides the fact that Cor nell has one of the finest ball clubs in tie East Ralston had plenty of con trol, gave up seven hits, and otherwise played the role of relief pitcher in good grace. Surprise of the lot has been Red Benton, who's come up since the sea son opened as Bunn's best hurler. Red did everything but call in the Dies committee against Harvard, and was ahead of the game when he went out in the eighth inning. Then a two-run splurge in the ninth Radman pitching gave Harvard a close one. Because of behind-the-plate difficul ties, it's a good bet right now that Hearn will use George Stirnweiss there when the need is most. Stirny is just at home with a catcher's mitt as he is with a football, and caught several games last summer while playing for a northern semi-pro league. Bat taking George off second base will break up one of the hottest in field combinations -this side of the New York Yankees. He and Matty Topkins have developed a neat knack of scooping up grounders, making doable plays, and perform ing similar diamond duties which are dear to the hearts of all coaches. Should George start catching and he's been doing it in practice Jimmy Howard will probably move over to second, leaving Charlie Rich on third. This might be the panacea the team needed, in which event Duke had kst beware in the three-game series a month and a half hence.

ZETA PSI, TAKES NINETEENTH WIN A variety of every type of play ground ball play imaginable was pro vided for the intramural fans yester day afternoon as eighteen teams of ficially opened their seasons. Of these Sigma Nu, Zeta Psi No. 1, Phi Gamma Delta, Town No. 1, Everett, SAE No. 1, Mangum, Phi Delta Theta No. 1, and DKE were victorious. Today's schedule calls for BVP to make its first defense of its dormitory crown against Grimes at-4 o'clock while other outstanding games of the day are Law School against "H", Ruf fin No. 1 against MK", and Kappa Al pha against Beta Theta Pi. Defending champions for the past two years, Zeta Psi No. 1 took its nineteenth consecutive victory yes terday afternoon as it stopped Lambda Chi Alpha by a 10-2 score. The champs got off to a shaky start in the first in ning, allowing the losers their only two runs, but then settled down under the leadership of Wilson and pitcher Mordecai to play fine ball. Paced by the brilliant two-hit twirl ing of Darden, SAE No. 1 served warning to the rest of the fraternity league that it would be one of the top ranking teams as it shutout Sigma Chi No. 2 by an 11-0 score. Darden was in the peak of form as he allowed only Williamson and Barnes to obtain singles while walking none and strik ing out six. In its opening contest Everett ex hibited one of the strongest dormitory teams of the past few years, both of fensively and defensively, as it trounced Old East by a 12-2 score. Pitcher Tommy Dill was the star of the game for the winners as he set the losers down with 6 hits while fanning four batters. DKE inaugurated its season in a very convincing manner by shutting out St. Anthony by a 3-0 score. Alex ander turned in a fine pitching job for the winners as he set the Delta Psi club down with five singles. Big George Giamack started off on the right foot again as he pitched Mangum to a 4-1 victory over Steele. Giamack was wild in walking eight batters but the speed that he demon strated throughout the game indicat ed that he would be one of the best hurlers on the campus this year. Sigma Nu demonstrated the most powerful offensive team of the day by trampling ZBT by a 17-5 score. The Snakes hopped onto pitcher Usdin in the first inning for eight runs and for the remainder of the game hit him (Continued on page 4 column ) Carolina, Princeton Trackmen Clash Saturday Eight 1939 Winners Return For Meet The number of returning first place winners from last year's meet was brought to eight, four for each side, when Don Herring joined his Prince ton teammates yesterday for his first workout this spring. Their series of spring track engagements standing at one triumph apiece, the Tar Heels and Tigers tangle on Fetzer field Satur day. Carolina's victory last year by a count of 69 2-3 to 56 1-3 came when the Tigers were out of shape and com paratively easy prey for what is now considered the University's greatest track team. The defeat was the only loss Princeton has suffered on the track in two years, and it appears that the visitors will begin this season with a good start. IN 1938 Princeton won 76-50 in 1938, the first year the Tigers came here to spend their spring vacation rounding into shape. - They went on through the season undefeated. They were un beaten last year except by Carolina. Back from first places in the Carolina-Princeton meet last spring are Jimmy Davis, Tom Crockett, Harry March and Dave Morison of the Tar Heel forces, and Captain Anson Per- ina, Paul Douglas, Jim Corbett and Don Herring of Princeton. Davis and Morrison finished to gether, with clasped hands, in winning the mile in 4:30.5. Crockett ran away with the two mile in 9:41.8 to set a new Fetzer field record, better ing the mark of 9:51 he had set against the same team in 1938. March won the low hurdles, beginning a long string of successive wins over the lows. PERINA The Tigers' returning first placers are headed by Perina, for two years IC4A broad jump champion. He holds the local field record at 23 feet 5 inches, and came within a quarter inch of that performance last year. Douglas captained the Princeton frosh team in 1938 and in his starting varsity try beat his teammates and Carolina opponents to win the quar ter in :50.5. Corbett took the pole vault at 11 feet, but will probably have to jump higher to win this time. Herring, who tossed the discuss 146 feet in the meet here in his first var" sity meet and went on to reach 156' 2 1-4," may -compete Saturday. He is backed up by Bruce Alger, senior who threw 132 feet to win here in 1938. FENCING TOURNEY BEGINS TOMORROW IN WOOLLEN GYM Fencers from all parts of the South will flock to Chapel Hill today for the South Atlantic tournament which begins tomorrow morning at 9 in Woollen gym." Registration headquar ters will be set up in the gym lobby all afternoon and night today. The meet, the first of its kind ever held, will be open to the public all day Friday and Saturday morning. It will be a three-weapon affair foil, epee and sabre. KENTUCKY, GA. TECH The tournament will hardly be a one-sided affair, for the smaller schools entered present serious threats. Georgia Tech and Kentucky rank high in Southern fencing. The Jack ets have for years been a stronghold of the Southeast, along with Ken tucky. Both are primed for this meet, anxious to get a long-awaited crack at tournament honors. The Tar Heels fought the Tech men twice in '38 and Kentucky once then. Carolina won all three meets. Since then, there have been no meets between the Tar Heels and Kentucky or Georgia Tech. However, it is prob able that both teams will be on the 1941 schedule. TECH MEN Coached by Richard Morenus, the Tech team is good. Already this year they have hung up a "fine record. The team is led by a three-year veteran, Steve Bartha, who caused the Caro lina fencers no end of trouble at At lanta two years ago. In addition, there are C. P. Ivey and C. C. Davis, two very adept fencers. All are three weapon men. r Hermson May Play At Catching Post Bunn Hearn is not planning rash or drastic action within the near future. Although the Carolina baseball team has lost three games in a row, he does not intend to shoot the players and make a fresh start with new vol unteers nor is there any truth to the news that Hearn will disband the club for the season and make the fresh start next spring. Even Mr. Beerman will tell you that in his column in practical ly the same words. Great minds, etc. Hearn was a bit distressed at the none too distinguished season begin ning of the Tar Heels, but he was not particularly worried. He had no fears that the let-down would be season long and was positively indignant at any suggestion along those lines. "We've had some bad breaks. But these boys will snap out of it. They're young players and the attack of bad baseball can't last forever. ' I think they can pull out of the slump and probably be a better team for it. That is often the case with college teams. I'm not too worried about the losing streak. CONFERENCE STANDING "We like to win them all, but these games really don't count in the con ference standings. We've been experi menting in these games, making some player changes we probably won't be doing once we swing into conference Play." Did Hearn plan any changes for to morrow when the Tar Heels start a two-game weekend meeting Michigan? W&L follows Saturday). "I may make some changes. I think IH probably give Bob Hermson a chance behind the bat. Bob's a big strong boy. Hell work one of the weekend games. I may also use Popeye Jones in left-field. TENNISI.IEN MEET PURPLE TODAY IN FINAL MATCH By BILL BEERMAN There will come a day when the Carolina tennis team loses a match. Incredible fans of the honorable net sport will refuse to believe it, and! no one will blame them. If you're interested in statistics, yes terday's 9-0 shutout of Williams col lege by Carolina was approximately the 23rd consecutive Tar Heel win, a majority of which wins were also shutouts. The duty of reporting tennis meets in Chapel Hill is pleasingly monoto nous. In the editorial sanctum of this paper there is a standard headline: "Carolina Netmen Down 9-0." The night editor has only to fill in the latest victim's name. All of which is a tribute to John Kenfield, the court coach who has been around here for nearly two decades. Carolina's varsity tennis team plays Williams in a second and final match this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The public is invited. Kentucky has one standout fencer' won,t . . battin or(kr . The fellows will come out of their hit : (Continued on page 4, column S) in particular, Scott D. Breckinridge, Jr., son of the Kentucky coach. Breckinridge is a very fast man, and leader in two weapons for the Ken tucky swordsmen. He also presented a pretty solid front against the Tarj Heels two years ago in a meet here. JOHNS HOPKINS Johns Hopkins was beaten by Car olina at Baltimore 15-12 this year in the third from the lffiast bout of the meet. It was close all the way. The medicos have a first rate team and are out for revenge in general. Led by Captain Agrin in foil' and epee and Kavanaugh in sabre, the Hopkins fencers mean business. Opening Golf Match For Tar Heels Postponed : : : S . . Frosh Netters To Meet Reddie Prep Tomorrow Peddie Prep's tennis team, on it's fourth annual southern tour, will play the Carolina Frosh here tomorrow. The match with the Tar Babies will be the third one of a four match sched ule for the Peddie club. Rpfore meetine the Carolina Frosh, the Peddie team will have met the freshmen of Presbyterian college, and the Citadel juniors. After their en gagement at Chapel Hill the prep school boys will wind up their trip with a final set-to against the U. of Virginia freshmen. , 2,'"!!!'!'

Even with the opening date so close nearly every position on the team is still a toss-up, and at the most only three men have definitely clinched a starting berth on the first team. Bill Honan, a classy infielder and good stick man, shouldn't have any trouble in holding to his job at third base He annexed the bag his first day out, and it's been nearly impossible to re move him. HEARN AT SHORTSTOP Johnny Hearn, son of Varsity Coach Bunn Hearn, will be at short stop Saturday if he doesn't break a leg between now and then. Hearn has been doing some good hitting in the practice games, 'and yesterday drove one into left field that would have landed into the Fetzer field stands if Wade.Snell, playing for the second team, hadn't made a one-hand stop of the drive.

High Point college, originally carded for a match here on Friday, requested to be released from the meet because of the ineligibilty of the team's outstand ing performer. An eight-man race for the four principle berths on the current edi tion of the Tar Heel links outfit, now appears probable. The tried and test ed quartet of Hudson Boyd, Charlie Diffendal, Neal Herring, and Frosty Snow is going to be pushed to main tain their lofty position at the top of the heap. i Tom Hayes, a junior from Char lotte who saw comparatively little ac tion last spring, seems to be the out standing contender. On his' first round of qualifying play he fired a neat 73, and since then he has been conducting himself in such a .manner as to warrant much consideration when the season gets under way. Al Carr, another reserve .who was not counted in the midst of things when competition began, has surpris ed everyone with his greatly improv ed all-round play, chalking up a 76 on Tuesday.

Every year since 1933 Carolina ten nis teams have staked a claim myth ical but generally accepted to the national collegiate championship. For the sake of records and those who don't already know, here in con venient outline form is what happen ed yesterday: Charles Rider played Williams fine netman, Pete Shonk, and put him down 6-0, 6-3, in the No. 1 match. Back in Williamstown, Mass., Shonk has been squash champion for three years, and last season was New England doubles champ along with Al Jarvis, former captain. But in Chapel Hill, N. C, Shonk was just another ex cellent tennis player who met his master. On the second court, while Rider was grooving his serves with a speed matched . only by pronaeanda in Europe, Bill Rawlings met Will Barnes and it was 6-2, 6-2, for the Caro lina co-captain. In the No. 3 singles Walt Meserole faced Bill Collins of the visitors, who play a second match this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Collins gave Walt a real battle for the second set, but Miserole finished in a cloud of dust to win 6-3, 7-5. Zan Qarvea, fourth on (the lad der, was the first to finish yesterday. He used his football strength to smash balls past Sewell Corkran and won easily, 6-1, 6-0. Harris Everett became eligible Monday, licked a Dartmouth man Tuesday, and yesterday did a credit able job taking two straight sets from Jake Earle, 6-3, 6-1. That was the No. 5 singles.
