THE DAILY TAB HEEL PAGE THREE Carolina Whitewashes OHo' University (0 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 1946 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.

Smith announced late last night that the film taken of the Carolina-Oklahoma basket ball game will be shown at the Carolina Theatre today and tomorrow. ; pwBWWWWmi.'W "'Vf'j9k 'v.vf.".w. j . n in i, 1 1 . i j.j -i mm .:. - i mm I yS.-.-.:-.yS.-.'.Q 7 iff, V- : y '..v.-v.-vs.'M. tmiSHb.

George Stephens Compiled Athletic Record Thai Never Will Be Forgotten At Carolina PRESCRIPTIONS FILLED o GLASSES REPAIRED o Durham Optical Co. 215 W. Main St. Phone F-2141 Durham By Bill Woestendiek "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- TYPEWRITERS - ADDING MACHINES SALES and SERVICE . UNDERWOOD CORPORATION CP. ROWE, Representative Durham, N. C. 118 Morgan Street Phone J-23T3 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 Meals For The Pause that Re-"Fleshes" HARRY'S Beer Sandwiches 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.

J. 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 See BASEBALL, page U 0 for Ohio AB 4 3 1 4 1 Ohio Turk, 2b Brady, rf Sayre, rf Treager, cf Russkowski, c ...
