Tar Heel Club To Cro .Bate Witlu Camp I .J Not To Mince Matters By Harry HoUingswrtii Tired and a little rusty at the edges after a long train trip, Coach Dick Jamerson and five members of the Carolina swimming team Co-captains Jim Barclay and George Coxhead, Captain-elect Bob Ousley, Truman Hobbs and Denny Hammond returned to Chapel Hill and classes Monday morning after a 10-day invasion of the northern states during which they participated jd the Eastern and National intercollegiates swimming contests. Jamerson reviewed both contests for us yesterday afternoon in his office in Woollen gymnasium, and he said exactly what we expected him to say. And he said it with enthusiasm enthusiasm of a coach who knows that his team has accomplished a lot., "The boys, Harry, he said sincerely, "did an excellent job. They were a little disappointed at times, but I'm sure that they did well. I had too many coaches and officials at both meets to tell me that they never ex pected such swimming from the North Carolina team even to think for one minute that they were not a credit to the University. In my ow mind, I know they were. "Those five boys really put Carolina on the swimming map. Most coaches who take a team to either of the two meets is satisfied if he can get one man to qualify in eithermeet. We qualified in five different events in the two meets. And that's an indication of how well the team performed." All coaches, naturally, give credit to their teams after a fine performance. But not many can make it as sincere as Jamerson did yesterday. Few students and fans realized the calibre competition Carolina faced in either meet and criticized the efforts of the men when they first read the results of both meets in the papers. One state sports editor went so far as to say that the Tar Heel swimming team was slipping by scoring only 10 points in the Eastern meet. And those 10 points' were more than any team from the South has ever scored in an Eastern intercollegiate meet! When a team gets in competition as fast as the Blue Dolphins were meeting, most anything can happen. And it nsually does. One instance of that was clearly shown in the Eastern meet. A sprinter of one of the Northern schools came within a tenth of a second of tying the world's record in the 100-yard dash in the preliminaries. That same sprinter got third in the finals. Two of the backstrokers who licked Denny Hammond in that cloM blanket finish in the Easterns had never done under 1 :42 in a meet But with the pressure on they tame up with performances of a few tenths Of a second below 1 tlth Hammond did 1 :39.6-. They Were tenths of sec onds ahead of him; The University of Minnesota's swimming coach tbld Jamerson before the t&stern meet that if the Blue Dolphins qualified even one man he could con sider the trip worthwhile. Carolina qualified two relay teams and Hammond in the finals. University of Michigan's coach showed Jamerson a new way for the touch off in the relays two days before the start of the Nationals. The Blue Dol phins mastered the technique so successfully and added a touch of their own that they were the fastest team getting away in the relays. And none of the old-timers recognized the Michigan style which the Tar Heels had copied. All of the coaches asked Jamerson what was the new style touch-off Carolina was using. ODDITIES OFF THE TEE!

DROVE MORS THAN 200 VARDS WHILE BLINDFOLDED AT PINE HURST, 929 On the basis of the showing the Tar Heels made in the meets they rate among the top 10 teams in the country. Jamerson said thai he believed the only teams strong enough to lick Carolina in a dual meet are Michi gan, Yale, Dartmouth, Ohio State, Princeton and probably Iowa State. And Jamerson, just as we did, saved the best news until last. Authori ties at the National meet inquired as to the possibilities of having the contests in Bowman Gray pool next year. Nothing definite, naturally, has been decided as yet, but when the time does come for the awarding of the meet Carolina will have a good opportunity of getting iL Al Blozis' Entry Adds Color to UNC Relays The impetus given Carolina's first annual relay carnival by the announce ment of the entry of world's champion shot-putter Al Blozis has been re markable. Almost over-night papers throughout the state have picked up the possibilities of the meet and Coach Bob Fetzer's latest brain child is re ceiving welcome reams of publicity. And Blozis' entry may bring other famous figures of track and field to the Hill. Although the relay competition is that with which the committee is primarily concerned, it often falls to the lot of individuals to furnish the greatest box office attraction.

Open to Service Men In line with recent University poli cy, the relays will also be open to service men. Competing against the collegians, army men may come through with valuable points and .throw the meet wide open. Although the official entry list has not as yet been released at Woollen gym, it is expected that some of the great ath letes stationed at the various defense points in this section may be on hand. As Saturday approaches the first Duke-Carolina bout of four scheduled meetings this season, takes on added interest. Transferring their early season competition from Gainesville, Fla., where it has been for the past few years, the Devils and the Tar Heels should be even better matched in their own back yard. There's no long trip to undo the advantages of early training this year and several outstanding performances may be ex pected. The mile and the two mile re lays, the mile team race and the med ley foursome will be among those events most hotly contested between the home team and the visiting Meth odists and it is almost certain that one of the two contesting rivals will race home with the meet diadem. The other collegiate team entries are uncertain in both quantity and quality. N. C.

The Iinksmen are showing signs of great improvement after only eight days of practice and will be ready to tee off against anything Penn's Quak ers might have to offer this Saturday in Pinehurst. Several berths on the team are wide open with over two dozen golf sters burning up the fairways in an effort to fill the vacant slots. "Shooky" Neese, Dick Doeschler, George Case, and Grayden Lyles look to be sure things for the starting six, with Lyles turning in better scores with each suc ceeding day. This quartet has been leading golf hopefuls in their daily practice stints at the Hillandale course in Durham. The Tar Heel pill-pound ers have become a steady fixture on the Hillandale course and will play several of their home games there. Coach Ericson will pit the putter pushers against each other in Wednes day's practice session, after, which he will make his selection for the starting team. The intra-squad tourney will enable all of the Iinksmen to exhibit their prowess with the irons- and matched woods before final selections for the team are made.

"If Evensen and Chambers were available, we would have five strong men, but now nothing of definite ex cept the two top positions." The coach was full of praise for sophomore Harold Maass who has "been coming along fine." Maass was the second-ranking yearling netter last year and in the fal tourney went to the finals of the upperclassman divi sion where he lost a hard-fought match to Evensen. He will probably occupy the No. 3 slot. Looking ahead, . Kenfield intimated that any defeat the Tar Heels might suffer this year would come on tlfe Northern tour when the team clashes with such tennis powers as Princeton and Yale.

Duke Nine Displays Power On South Carolina Trip By Earle Hellen Duke's high powered baseball team has just returned from a devastating invasion of South Carolina during which they ran rough-shod over three er who hit only .288 last year. Byam blasted four home runs in the five games and hit one triple which shows that opposing pitchers had better be Palmetto schools for five victories, all i careful when the handsome keystoner of which serves to indicate in a big way that Coach Jack Coombs has developed another diamond powerhouse over on the Methodist flats. The Blue Devils marched through the teams of South Carolina, Clemson, and Furman like Sherman marched through don't like to think about. To Clemson goes the distinction of nearly beating the Blue Devils . . . they lost 5-2 in one game. In the other four contests the big guns of the Dukes blasted opposing pitchers all . over the lot, hitting the high spot by walloping Furman 19-13 Saturday. McCahan Heads Pitchers Before the season opened Duke was of unknown quality, having only four lettermen back from last year's club. Bill McCahan, the basketball star heads the pitching staff, with long, lanky left-handed Bill Weaver, who was out last year but beat the Tar Heels in 1940, the only other experienced hurl er in the camp. Coach Coombs came up with three reserves, Underwood, Hes sler, and Simons and three sophomores, Palmer, CarrolL and Curtis to help Mc Cahan and Weaver and all performed creditably last week. The brightest spot of last week's comes to the plate. Tommy Burns, the football guard, whom Coach Coombs has inserted at third base, also hit some powerful wallops. Rounding out the Duke infield are a pair of sophs Bill Ingham at first and Roland Sailer at short. boroueb . prominent New York prep school from which comes Carolina games for Duke was the slugging of f rosh Scott Stickle.

How ever two Wilson boys have stepped into the other two spots and are fixtures. They are Tom Davis, the football tail back, and Grady Stott, a hefty slugger' and both boys are sophs. Another of Wallace Wade's gridiron stars has won the catching post. He is Bobby Rute, a soph, who is a heavy hitter. Letterman Hap Sphuler, the basketball captain, is also on hand to share the receiving duties. Duke's five victories make it the early favorite in the Big Five race, but the other four clubs have not started action. It must also be remembered that college baseball in South Carolina is not the best in the world either. All indications point to a close fight be tween Wake Forest, Carolina, State, and Duke. What the hard-hitting Dukes can do against such opposition remains to be seen, but they have a head start on all the other Big Five opponents.
