FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1946 THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE THREE f " " r 1 , Here's To The Phantoms, Carolina's Champs The curtain falls on a most successful basketball season for Carolina. Although they did not capture the national crown, the players and Coach Ben Carnevale deserve a lot of credit for win ning the eastern title of the N.C.A.A. which tabs them as the second best team in the country. The White Phantoms dropped a thrilling 43-40 decision to Okla homa A. & M. in the finale last Tuesday night, but they gained the admiration of the New York fans for their scrappy, never-give-up style they showed in the three tournament games. Carolina will long remember the 1946 basketball team and it will go down in history as probably the best quintet that the University has ever had. HATS OFF TO A JOB -WELL DONE! ' Coach Carnevale will head back Monday morning. Carnevale plans 1. ... Congrats to Chuck Erickson for the fine way he handled the New York trip and the special effort on his part to make every body happy as they were indeed. There was not a dull moment in the entire trip, because the assistant athletic director had things so well planned that everything went off beautifully. Most people do not believe in superstitious things, but that's not the way with Carolina's star forward, Bob Pax- ton. The NROTC player with No. 4 on his jersey sticks with the luckjr number in everything he does. When the team was introduced under the spotlight at the Garden, Paxton was the fourth man to come out. Coming back on the train, he had Chuck Erickson to assign him to the number 4 Pullman berth. John Dillon had his picture taken without knowing it Wednes day night. Jack Horner, sports editor of the Durham Herald spotted John asleep and asked Orville Campbell to take a picture while he held the ball just above Dillon's head. The picture makes you think that "Hook" is dreaming of the basketball. Well, maybe he was at that! Pete Mullis, assistant coach, had a hard time lugging around a big cake with "Eastern Collegiate Champs" embroidered on it, which was donated to the team by one of the many alumni backers in New York. Mrs. Horace McKinney cut the cake aDoarq ine irain neaamg oacK to-t;napei 'fiill. - -' Not only did the basketball team get the spotlight over the past week, but a couple of wrestlers who entered the national grapplers' meet in Oklahoma came back with a good record. Al Crawford lost a close decision in the semi-finals, while T. A. Hearn was elim inated in the second round. Both matmen were undefeated in the regular season. ' Orchids to my co-workers who did such a bang-up job of handling the sports page in my absence. That includes Howard Merry, Westy Fenhagen and Bill Woestendiek.

Ben Ward and Dick Twin ing were selected, Ward to swim in the 400-yard relay and the 50-yard freestyle and Twining to swim in the 220-yard freestyle. The third member of the trio is Bo Jenkins, backstroker, who did not make the trip. fm 1 Blue Dolphins Will In Intercollegiates Today ' : Two-Day Meet Will Commence This Morning Twining Slated To Swim in 220 With a squad . of five men Coaches Ralph and Willis Casey left Wednesday afternoon for New Haven, Connecticut, in an attempt to capture three events in ;ithe National Intercollegiate swimming championships which will be held today and Saturday 'at Yale University, In this classic the Blue Dol phins will be up against the best collegiate swimmers that the country has to offer. The Caro lina natators, however, will not be out to take the team hpnors, but will try for the 400-yard re lay, the 50-yard freestyle and the 220-yard freestyle. Relay Swimmers The 400-yard relay will see the best four relay swimmers that Carolina has, Jack Zimmerman, Co-Captain Ben Ward, Mike Morrow, and John Harvey, take the water against probable en tries from Ohio State, Navy, Army, Columbia, Cornell, and several of the western teams. All have perfected a roll turn that should increase their speed greatly. Dick "Little Champ" Twining will be swimming in the 220-yard freestyle. His prin cipal contestant in this event will be Hall of Ohio State who defeated him by a very close margin in the triangular meet held at West Point a month ago. However, he has improved great ly since that time. Morrow to Swim Mike Morrow and possibly Ben Ward will enter in the 50 yard freestyle race. Here again the favored merman is a Buck eye, this time the Hawaiian wonder, Halo Hirose. Ohio State is heavily consid ered the team to take the team honors at the meet, but each squad entry points after a par ticular event, putting their best men in that race. Dick Twining's best time this year for the 220-yard freestyle is 2:14.1 which he made against Duke. It was a new pool record. Mike Morrow has done about a 27-second time in the 50-yard freestyle which should put him well in the running for the championship in this event. i I -ST T- Carolina Diamond Squads i Hold Fast Practice Game Golf Candidates Meet All candidates for the golf team are asked to meet with Coach Chnck Erickson this afternoon at 2 o'clock in 304 Woollen Gym. This will be the first golf team that Carolina has had since Erickson coached the last club back in 1940. Present arrangements are pending a course on which to practice. Netmen to Engage Greensboro Squad In Practice Tilt Quite satisfied with the prog ress being made in the daily workouts, net mentor John Ken field has scheduled a practice match for his untried team Sat urday afternoon and expects to obtain a good idea of the sea son's prospects at that showing. The match, featuring six singles and three doubles, will be against a tennis team unof ficially representing the city of Greensboro. 1 is slated to begin at 2:30 p. m. In order to give as many men a chance to compete as possible, Coach Kenfield plans to use 12 players in the engagement. Al though the starting lineup is still uncertain, Harold .Maass, Mel Jordan, Stan Gruner, Don Skakle, Sam Daniels, and Jim Nicholson are expeeted to draw the singles assignments. Also certain to see some action are Ed Dameron, Bert Ingram, Duke Wilder, and Dick Swigart. Manager for this year's team is Don Paley, who held a like position three years ago before going into service. His assistant will be Bill Stubbs. FOR PICNICS There's nothing half-baked about our cookies, cakes, and rolls. Hill Bakery ' t A Compete A' Team Wins By 10-4 Margin Carolina's "A" and "B" squads played a practice ball game yes terday afternoon on Emerson field and practically every play er on both sides saw action as the "A" club outscored Coach Henry House's "B" nine by a 10-4 score. The" game was played with an eye more on the various per formances of individuals and combinations of individuals than on the final score. Both clubs showed a lot of pep as they went through a well-played contest. Lefty MacElreth and L. C. Couch split up the pitching duty for the winners with Jim Hay worth and Rollo Frazier sharing the catching. Boseman, Nelson, and Hauser all toiled on the hill for the losers with Varnay be hind the bat. Consistent hitting won the game for the "A" squad. Most of their hits were singles, but they were hitting often and bat ting eyes seemed to be a little sharper than they had been against Michigan State earlier in the week. Cole hit a home run J for the losers. Coach Bunn Hearn expressed satisfaction with the develop ment of the club thus far this spring and is particularly pleas ed with the excellent . weather that has cancelled but two prac tice sessions since the boys start ed throwing the horsehide around several weeks ago. Present plans call for another practice game either today or tomorrow. Both groups are showing a lot of spirit and hustle m an effort to win a spot on Coach Hearn's starting nine. A junior varsity club is going to be formed from the candidates See BASEBALL Page 4 MIDNIGHT SNACKS
