Netmen Open Season Today Against Strong Kalamazoo Team
Hornets Loom
-
As Tough Foes
For Tar Heels
By Bob Goldwater
The 1946 edition of Carolina
racquet-wielders will taste col
legiate competition for the first
time this afternoon starting at
2:30 p. m. when they engage a
team from Kalamazoo College,
Michigan, on the varsity tennis
courts.
' A stiff battle looms between
the untried but talented Tar
Heel array and the traveling
Hornet netmen, playing their
third of six contests on -a tour
of the Carolinas. Led by Coach
Allan Stowe, the visitors annual
ly have a top-flight contender in
collegiate tennis circles.
To Harold Maass, veteran of
Carolina racquet campaigns in
1942-43, goes the honor of the
top singles assignment. The
number two slot will be filled by
Mel Jordan, in his first season
as a Carolina netman. This is
the final year for both players,
Maass being a senior and Jordan
engaged in graduate work.
Three Freshmen on Team
Completing the rest of the
starting lineup are three fresh
men and one sophomore, a fact
which gladdens the heart of
Coach John Kenfield since all
four will be back in years to
come. Jim Nicholson fills the
number three position, sopho
more Stan Gruner is number
four, Don Skakle number five,
and Sam Daniels holds the sixth
singles post.
Although the doubles assign
ments are still somewhat unde
cided, it is likely that the three
combinations will be Maass and
Gruner, Nicholson and Skakle,
and Jordan and Daniels.
Following today's match, the
Tar Heels will find themselves
strictly on the defensive in their
next contest, when a powerful
William and Mary net squad in
vades Chapel Hill next week.

E. C. Smith announced late
last night that the film taken of
the Carolina-Oklahoma basket
ball game will be shown at the

"One of the best college pitch
ers I have ever seen," was what
John McGraw, former manager
of the New York Giants, said
about the late George G. Steph-
it j r i 1
ens, illustrious uaronna aiumuua
of the class of '96, who is also
credited with catching the first
forward pass ever thrown in
modern day football.
Stephens, who died Monday in
Charlotte at the age of 82, was
well-known throughout the state.
He is spoken of as Charlotte's
master-builder," and his great
foresight, energy,-and common
sense was primarily responsible
for the construction of ' that
city's leading parks and beautiful
homes, and led to people refer
ring to the Carolina graduate as
the man who never knew failure.
But this is a story about Ste
nhens' brilliance in the field of
athletics at the University, a
field in which his spirit and in
telligence were displayed by the
same great leadership and abil
ity that he used so well through-

out his lifetime.
Stephens attended UNC from
1892-1896, won fame as a great
left-handed pitcher, and also be
came one of the greatest foot
ball players in the history of the
University, being named on Joel
Whitaker's all time Carolina
eleven which was first published
in 1910 and later reproduced in
Kemp Battle's history of North
Carolina.
In 1893 Alonzo A. Stagg, ath
letic director of Chicago univer
sity originated a World's Fair
Baseball Tournament for college
teams. Yale, Harvard, Vander
bilt, Amherst, Vermont, Illinois,
Wisconsin, and Virginia entered
teams in the tourney. By special
permission Stephens was allowed
to pitch for the Virginia team,
which advanced to the finals be
fore being nipped by Yale.
Caught First Pass
The book, "On Carolina's Grid
irons," an excellent and authen
tic account of the Tar Heels foot
ball history written by Smith
Barrier, sports editor of the
Greensboro Daily NeWs, con
tains an excerpt from a Collier's
Weekly of Oct. 20, 1928, in which
John W. Heisman, national foot
ball authority describes what he
called the "first pass in football."
It was illegal at the time, but
Stephens caught it and ran 70
yards for the Blue and White to
give them a 6r0 win over Georgia.
In talking about the play later,
Stephens referred to it as an end-
around play in which the quar
terback gave the ball to the left

end Ed Gregory. He said:
"Soon after Gregory received
the ball, I remember looking up
just as he tossed the ball to me,
but I did not know it was a for
ward pass and not lateral. I
merely grabbed the ball and ran
through a clear field for a touch
down." With- Stephens starring at
left-halfback, the Carolina club
of '95 lost but one game in nine,
dropping a close 6-0 game to Vir
ginia. The club played five
games in eight days that year
and Stephens, who stood 5 feet,
8Y2 inches tall and weighed only
170 pounds took plenty of batter
ing. The teams played two 35
minute halfs, and- since a man
once replaced could not return to
the game, the players were only
replaced when broken bones or
battered bodies made it impos
sible for them to continue.
Born near Summerfield, Guil
ford county, he attended Oak
Ridge Institute from 1888-1892
where he showed ability as a
left-handed pitcher and a great
interest in physical education.
Physical Instructor
Entering Carolina in 1892,
Stephens was appointed an in
structor in physical training, by
means of which he was able to
earn his way through four years
of college. As a varsity pitcher
for four seasons, he compiled

Coleman's Fine Pitching
Subdues Visiting Hitters
Tar Heels Score Twice in Second;
Beason Drives Triple in Eighth
By Bill Woestendiek
Brilliant pitching by Hamp Coleman keynoted Carolina's first
win of the youthful baseball campaign as Coleman combined with
fellow freshman Vin DiLorenzo to weave a masterful five-hit, 3-0
victory over Ohio University on Emerson field yesterday.
The Tar Heels got two runsf
for the young righthander from
Red Springs in the second inn
ing, and he proceeded to keep
the swinging Ohioans under his
thumb throughout his seven-
innings on the hill. DiLorenzo,
southpaw from Bergenfield, N.
J., finished and kept up the
string of goose-eggs for the
visitors, although Ohio almost
tallied in the ninth.
Two Tallies
An infield single by John
Gregory and a walk to Ott
Evans set the stage for the two
Carolina tallies in the second.
Fred Ryan, who handled . the
shortstop spot well in- his first
game, sacrincea tnem along.
Gregory tallied when Rollo Fra-
zier literally hit a line drive off
of Ohio hurler Charlie Burdette's
body that rolled over to first
base in time for first-sacker
Brooks to make the putout. Cole
man then added to his own lead
by hitting a hard ground single
to right center, scoring Evans.
Ohio put on what was its
strongest scoring threat of the
day in the first half of the second
frame. After Coleman walked
Russkowski, big Ohio catcher,
Brooks hit a double off Cleet
wood's glove in left, putting men
on second and third with none
out.
Whereupon Coleman proceed
ed to bear down and get Horn
to lift to Warren, Singerman to
fly out to short right, and Barbis
to ground out easily, second to
first. Harry Beason made a nice
catch and quick throw on Sin
german's fly to disperse any
thoughts of scoring after the
catch that Russkowski might
have had.
Burdette and his successor,
Andrews, held the Tar Heels
scoreless until the eighth, when
