THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 1946 THE DAILY TAR H KF.1 PAGE THREE Sport Loops Here and Afar .T TT X TJ liiiiimiiuauiniiunciiiiiiiiiiauiiiiiiii: The past week in the national sport picture saw the Buckeyes of Ohio State come through to cop the laurels in the National AAU swimming championships held at Bainbridge Naval Base in Mary land. This makes it the second year in a row that the Ohioans have dominated the swimming in this country; last year they also started off with the Big Ten championship, moved up to take the National Intercollegiates, and topped it off with the honors in the AAU's. The star of the meet, however, was a little-known swimmer just released from the navy. Joe Verdeur, swmming for the Philadelphia Turners, broke two world records and one American mark in the 220-yard breaststroke trials. He did 200 yards in 2:19.5 to break the world record set in 1939 by Dick Hough of Princeton, and went on to shatter the 200 meter time. In 1936 Jack Kasley set the 200 meter record at 2:37.2, but Friday af-' ternoon it fell to the strokes of Verdeur and will now be listed as 2:35.6. That same time will also be posted as the new 220 yard world mark since the two distances are so nearly equal. Jack Hill, the Ohio State swimmer who bested Dick Twining of the Blue Dolphins both in the triangular meet at West Point and in the National Intercollegiates, finally went down in defeat to Wallys Ris of Great Lakes. With him in this event went also his compatriot from the Buckeyes, Halo Hirose. We had 1) een won dering whether these two flashes were invincible, and at last it seems there is someone to do the trick. But he has to swim the 220 freestyle in 2:11.3 to make it. There is a. crying need for some more tennis courts on the campus, yet the University is considering scrapping the present courts and putting dormitories in their place. To play a game on weekday afternoons you have to be a member of the team, in a coed physical ed class, or good enough to be on an intramural team. With the publicity that the University devotes to its ath letic plant they could drag cash out of the coffers, refinish the rough roads they have for some of the courts and build several more. The Big Four league in college baseball, started this year by Carolina, Wake Forest, NC State and Duke to replace the war time Ration League, looks definitely as though it will be packed with action and thrills, for so far as anyone can seem to deter mine, no team is much above any other. -One might say that NC State seems to be the top team on the basis of comparative scores since the Red Terrors swamped Ohio University by a 12-2 score while Carolina took them 3-0 and Duke 4-3. But this must leave Wake Forest out because the Deacs did not play them, and the boys from Wake Forest must be reckoned with, especially Red Cochrane who is known as a slugger from way back. Carolina is the defending champion but has had a very shaky start. Four losses out of six is not impressive, but Duke is also no sparkplug team except possibly for Lee Griffeth, a holdover pitch er. At this early stage it is conceivable that State may come through and win the pennant, but they will certainly have no easy time. " Much credit for spirit must be given to the tennis players of Eastern Carolina Teachers College for scraping the barrel and com ing up with a team to give the Tar Heels a fight. They were way out of their class and they knew it, but tried their best. . . . lhe Mexican League received two blows in quick succession when their major hauls from the Nationals, Stephens and Owen, decided that they didn't like the climate down there and jumped back home. Now Pasquel says that he is going to play all year round, but we still can't see how his league will take. . . . The St. Louis Cardinals have hit their stride at last with 19 wins out of twenty games, and with all their wealth of players they should be doing something like that. Phaiitoms Picked No. 2 Team In Nation Jordan Chosen On Helms All- American Five Dillon Is Named On Third Squad North Carolina's White Phan toms, whose brilliant basketball campaign just past wrote a new and shining page in Southern Conference sports history, have been rated the nation's No. 2 team for 1946. Also accorded to the Tar Heels in the 10th Anniversary Helms Athletic Foundation Selections, released this week, was a spot on the first All-American team for Ensign Jim Jordan, former NROTC cadet, of 4 Chester, W. Va. Jordan, stellar Tar Heel guard, was chosen on the second Helms team last year and this year as cended to the select first 10 as a "defense" man. John Dillon, Sa vannah, Ga., forward, was named on the third team, but his selec tion for top honors by the Sport ing. News and other listings give the Phants two All-Americans on the same team, an unprecedented occurrence in University history. Rated ahead of the Phantoms in the final team rankings was only Oklahoma A. and M., to whom they lost, 43-40, in the finals of the NCAA Tournament. Other honors given to North Carolina included a spot on the Ail-Time All-America for George Glamack, Tar Heel center in 1941 and 1942, who also was named Player of the Year for both those seasons.

With such nationally recog nized stars as Bernard Bartzen, last year National Junior final ist; Brandon Mackin, former Canadian Junior king, and Bobby Doll, outstanding Tampa, Fla., prospect, the Indians figure to rank with Navy as the Tar Heels' toughest opponent of the season. Carolina has taken all three meets thus far with a team headed by Harold (Gus) Maass of West Palm Beach, Fla., Tar Heel captain in 1943.
