Ray Wolf
Six-Man Athletic Staff
Gets Six- Week Workout,
Instruction at Annapolis
By Mark Garner
Responding to Uncle Sam's call for experienced coaches and trained ath
letes to condition America's fighting men, Carolina has sent six men from
its athletic staff to Annapolis where, following a six week's training period,
they will be commissioned as physical instructors in the navy's ever-widening
effort to develop physically-perfect airmen and sailors.
Leading the Tar Heel contingent is Head Football Coach Ray Wolf, popu
lar pigskin mentor at Chapel Hill since 1936. Along with Wolf will go his
righthand man, Line Coach John Vaught,
assistant athletic director, G. E. "Bo"
Shepard, assistant track and frosh foot
ball coach, Johnny Morriss, Ralph Casey,
frosh swimming coach, and one of Caro
lina's all-time greats, Jim Lalanne. La
Ianne, Vaught and Casey have already
returned to Chapel Hill to assume their
duties as instructors for the air unit here.
Coach Wolf, known to his closer asso
ciates as "Bear," leaves Carolina after
six seasons as head football coach, a po
sition he has held since Carl Snavely
left for Cornell. Wolf -coached teams have
won 38, dropped 17 and tied three since
he took over the reins.
Before coming to Carolina Wolf serv
ed as line coach and athletic director at
Texas Christian University, and when he
moved to the Hill he brought the South
west's gridiron weapon, the forward pass,
with him. Here he developed the same
style of wide-open play he had taught
in Texas and his first season as head coach saw the Tar Heels capture eight
and lose two on a tough 10-game slate, the pair of losses coming at the hands
of such football powers as Duke and Tulane. In 1937 the Tar Heels dropped
only one contest a 14-0 game to Fordham and the following year hung up
a record of eight wins, two losses and one tie. Last year Wolf had hi3 poorest
season since coming to Carolina. His squad annexed a trio of victories and
were dealt seven setbacks.
But the man is as interesting as his football record. Contrasting with his
plain manner and dress, he is forceful and direct in his approach. His humor
,.,.,.,, .,, ii.iuiM.iui ....I ... . anci pleasant personality coupiea wun nis
f - - . - 1 fondness for story-telling have won him
many friends here at Carolina.
Wolf's understudy and head line coach
during his stay at Carolina, Johnny
Vaught, has already returned here as a
full-fledged lieutenant, junior grade.
Vaught was one of Wolf's most apt pu
pils at Texas Christian from where he
graduated in 1933 after playing four
years of spectacular football. Vaught
was a unanimous choice for a guard po
sition on the annual All-American teams
in 1932 and was rated by many observers
as the greatest guard ever developed in
the Southwestern conference. After
graduation he coached a Fort Worth
high school team and operated an elec
trical supply business before he took the
job here with his former coach.
"Bo" Shepard graduated from Carolina
in 1929 and has been associated with
John Vaught the athletic ' department of his alma
mater ever since. In 1931 he served as tutor for the yearling basketball squad
and coached the Tar Babies to the Big Five title. At the same .time he di
rected intramural activities and fulfilled the duties of an assistant graduate
athletic manager. In the spring of 1932 Shepard stepped into the shoes of the
varsity basketball coach and the next
season led the Tar Heels into the finals
of the conference tournament. . After four
years of grooming his court squads, Bo
developed a state and circuit champion
ship team in 1935 but soon resigned his
coaching position for the pressing duties
of the Athletic office.
Since 1933 Shepard has been filling one
of the most important offices in the ath
letic department. His duties range from
arranging schedules for Tar Heel teams
to selling tickets and paying bills.
Johnny Morriss came to Carolina in the
fall of 1936 as assistant football and track
coach. Morriss graduated from South
western Louisiana Institute in 1930 and
took his MA in physical education at
Louisiana State in '38. He formerly held
the American and National AAU records
of 14.7 seconds in the 120-yard high hur
dles and still claims the Junior National G. E. "Bo" Shepard
record of 14.7 in the same event. Morriss has developed some of the best
v.i-.1ot3 pvpr sppti in the Southern conference. His latest contribution is
I1U1 UAVA - --
Warren Mengel, loop title holder.
Coming to Carolina with a record of 18 wins out of 19 starts as coach of
the Goldsboro high school swimming
team, Ralph Casey, Goldsboro native,

Experimentals
To Highlight
CWC Festival
Carolina Playmakers will continue
the Carolina Workshop Council Festi
val's five-day program tonight with
three new experimental productions.
The PlavmalvPrs' R?nH bill nf M-npri-
rf
mentals will begin tonight at 8 o'clock
in the Playmafcers tneatre. Written by
students of Proff Koch, the three
plays are "Real Trouble," a domestic
comedy of Maine by Ellen Pillsbury,
"Boer Commando," a play of the end
of the Boer war by Robert Schenkkan,
and "Shee Shih: the Aching Heart." a
historical romance of Cathay by T'ang
Wen Shun, young Chinese playwright
who has been studying here during the
past year.
The plays are being directed by
graduate students in the department
of dramatic art. Elizabeth Trottman
is in charge of "Real Trouble," Marion
Gleason is directing "Boer Commando
and the author of "Shee Shih, the Ach
ing Heart," is directing her own work.
There will be no admission charged
for those productions, which will be
judged for CWC awards Friday. Proff
Koch will conduct discussion meetings
after each play, during which the au
dience and the author will discuss and
criticize the new plays. Seats will be
held for those with tickets until 7:50,
when the doors will be opened to the
general public.
Last night Graham Memorial's
lounge was packed to capacity and
standing spectators gaped as the Work
shop presented its first Festival hit
a panel of five famous artists, discus
sion "The Artist in War Time."
Miss Clare Leighton asserted that
"It's a sign of degeneracy when art is
looked upon as a luxury. . . .Every
human being is a potential artist. . . .
Deep down everyone has the urge to
create. . . . Never was there such a time
as this when art is needed."
Paul Green praised the CWC Festi
val. "Never before in this section
have people gathered in this way to
talk about art. The fact that it's war
time makes it even more remarkable."
"If we'd solved the problem of the
artist in peace time less snobbishly,
there would be no question of the Ar
tist in War Time," Lee Simonson said.
"We are under double responsibility
now, with the values that we artists
try to express being challenged. . . .
We should carry art to the factory as
well as the campus."

of Jim's career was the 6-3 victory over

winning score.
Segal to Defend
Browder Petition
Before Di Tonight
Harvey Segal,' student who recently
directed circulation of the Free Brow
der petition, tonight will join Profes
sor H. K. Beale and Phillips Russell
in defending the Free Browder move
ment. t
The three Browder defenders will be
recognized by Roger Mann, president
of the Di Senate, at the Di meeting to
night at 7:30 on third floor of New
West.
According to Mann the Di will of
ficially petition President Roosevelt for
the release of the Communist leader if
Di members vote affirmatively on the
main bill, "Resolved, that the Dialectic
Senate petition the President of the
United States for the release of Earl
Browder."
Russell is one of five faculty mem
bers, including President Graham, who
signed the petition. Beale is one of
several faculty members who publicly
stood up for the signing.
At least five other professors and
instructors will attend tonight's meet
ing and are expected to take verbal
stands, Mann stated. Opposition ar
guments by faculty and student visi
tors also will be recognized.
Dr. Graham, first signer of the pe
tition, expressed his apology to Pres
ident Mann yesterday that he would
not be able to attend the meeting.
The pialectic Senate has invited all
professors and students to sit in and
argue at tonight's session in order to
"clear away the emotional hullabaloo"
of the Free Browder case.
Debate Groups Meet
To Elect Councilmen i

tonight in the Grail room of Graham
Memorial at 9 o'clock. Voting mem
bers must elect members to serve on

be discussed.
director for this week's national cam
paign.
With the recommendation of Mary
Caldwell, the Coed senate last week
voted to donate the $200 originally in
tended as dance funds to the relief
society.
Their goal set at five million dol
lars, the society asks contributions
from many small groups. In this way
the American people can indicate their
support. The society was incorporated
in 1904 to take care of the needs of
widows and orphans of navy person
nel lost in action. Collecting a mini
mum of $200,000 each year, the so
ciety has immortalized the slogan
"The Navy Takes Care of Its Own."
Military leaders have uttered a plea
to an American nation at war. A con
tribution to the society's relief fund
will help to distribute some . of the
sacrifices of war. It will be a tribute
to the fighting American fleet, its
men and their families,, and will dem
onstrate that the American students,
and the American people are behind
the Navy men and their families.
