Yellow Jackets Boast
Strong Array of Runners
By Jim Pharr
Carolina's cindermen will open the outdoor track season with a
bang today, when they meet the strongly-rated Georgia Tech Yel
low Jackets on Fetzer field. The field events, which will open the
meet, will start at 2:30 p.m., with the first running event sche
duled to get under way at three o'clock.
The Tar Heels will take off on
the present schedule with only a
handful of holdovers from last
year, but with a number of re
turned veterans and several ex
perienced men from the indoor
track season.
Georgia Tech brings a team
rated by Norris Dean, coach of
the Jackets, to be as strong as
last year's Southeastern Confer
ence championship team. The
contest today will be the first
meet on Tech's schedule, so not
too much is known about their
strength in the various events.
Large Squad
Only a handful of experienced
men round out the largely green
Carolina roster. Co-Captain Ted
Haigler, from Sanf ord, and Lad
die Terrell, a veteran from Ra
leigh, are the top two Tar Heels
, i . .
The Carolina Athletic Asso
ciation extends an official invi
tation to all faculty members,
Chapel Hill High School stu
dents, and townspeople to at
tend the Carolina-Tech track
meet today at Fetzer field at
2:30 p.m.
in the dashes. Charlie Teitjen,
from Freeport, N. Y., and ex
Dartmouth miler Mark Burham
from Shelburne, Mass., carry
Carolina's hopes in the longer
distances. Floyd "Chunk" Sim
mons, returned veteran from
Charlotte, and Johnny Jones,
from High Point, are the men
expected to pick up points in the
high and low hurdle events.
The field events remain the
question mark, with very few
men of experience present to
strengthen the team. Norman
McLeod, Ted Hazelwood, and
John Handy stand out in a ra
ther green field.
Tech brings several outstand
ing performers on their strong
team. Dave Durst in the two
mile, Jack Helms in the weights,
Fred Weigel in the 440, and AI
Lansing in the 880, are the lead
ing contenders in the Yellow
Jacket lineup.

Navy at Annapolis
College Park, Md., April 12
Rained out of today's scheduled
contest with the Maryland nine,
Carolina will move on to Anna
polis to play the Middies tomor
row afternoon.
Hamp Coleman will probably
start for the Tar Heels tomorrow
as the North Carolinians, 6-5
winners over Virginia Friday, at
tempt to make a clean sweep of
their three-game trip, the second
game of which was lost to the
weather man this afternoon.
Whiteheart Hurls
The Tar Heels, behind the ef
fective nine-hit twirling of Monk
Whiteheart, jumped into a first
inning lead and fought off a late
rally by the Cavaliers to win the
opening game of their Northern
tour in Charlottesville. White
heart struck out six men in
chalking up his second win of
the season.
Carolina scored twice in the
first on a walk to George Thomp
son, a single by Charlie Cole, and
Bob Warren's long triple; Cole,
who is the leading Carolina bats
man, punched out three safe
ties in five trips to the plate Fri
day to increase his average.
George Thompson got two for
two and Cleet Cleetwood and
Rollo Frazier also hit safely
twice. Every man on the Caro
lina club hit safely with the ex
ception of Harry Beason as the
touring Tar Heels made 13 hits.
Darling, you're chic,
Your lines really scan.
But unless he's myopic
Remember your man.
Girls cease to look spic
When they've taken on span.

Tennis Match
With Indians
Is Cancelled
Carolina To Play
Greensboro Today
Because of rain and wet
courts, the tennis match with
William and Mary, scheduled
here for yesterday afternoon,
was cancelled. A last-minute at
tempt to have the contest played
off this morning fell through
when William and Mary an
nounced that it was slated to
play Duke this afternoon.
The Carolina netmen, led by
Gus Maas, captain of the Tar
Heel tennis team in 1943, will
play Greensboro ORD this after
noon at 2 :00 on the courts here.
The strength of the Greensboro
team is not known but it is pre
sumed that with the wealth of
men to choose from they should
come up with some good ma
terial, although their players
may be somewhat out of prac
tice. ,
Coach Kenfield will probably
put Maas in the feature singles
match of the afternoon, Jim
Nicholson in the number two
position, and Stan Gruner on
the third court. Mel Jordan will
take on their fourth man, Dick
Swigart the fifth, and Ed Dam
eron the sixth. The doubles
teams have not been chosen and
Coach Kenfield will probably not
make the selections until the
conclusion of the singles
matches.
Water Tolo Starts

Rained out for the past weejc,
intramural athletic events will
continue Monday with a full
slate of softball, tennis, and

pleted. The water event starts

Not since May, 1943, has there

Cards Looking Like
Championship Outfit
Tulsa, Okla. (UP) Take it
from the Tulsa Oilers, the St.
Louis Cardinals are ready, will
ing, and able today to make a
runaway out of the National
League pennant race.
The Cardinals probably won't
do as well against their big
league opponents as they did
against Tulsa yesterday, but a
20-hit, 14-0 victory in which the
Oilers got only three hits them
selves, certainly will not be ob
served with any enthusiasm by
their big league opposition.
The game found the Red Birds
at a peak of efficiency for their
training campaign. Lefty Max
Lanier worked five innings and
gave up one hit. Sophomore Ken
Burkhardt took it from there
and finished the job, yielding the
other blow.

Popular Mentor Accepts
Annapolis Coaching Job
Carnevale "I Hate To Leave
UNC, But Navy Offer Too Good"
By Carroll Poplin
Coach Ben Carnevale, Carolina's popular basketball mentor for
the past two seasons, has accepted an offer to coach the Naval
Academy's basketball team at an undisclosed salary it was learned
last night.
Carnevale, who was sought by numerous colleges, signed the
Navy contract yesterday and will probably report for his new duties
around June 15. He hopes to
May 1.
"I regret very much having
to leave Carolina and I wouldn't
have accepted any other college
offer, but the Navy bid was too
attractive to turn down," said
the highly-touted Tar Heel cage
coach. "I regard the Naval
Academy coaching job as the top
basketball coaching post in the
country and I feel fortunate in
being asked to accept it," Car
nevale stated.
Former NYU Star
Carnevale, a former New York
University star back in 1935, '36
and '37, guided Carolina to its
most successful basketball cam
paign in history last season as
his White Phantoms copped the
Eastern NCAA championship
and was nosed out in the na
tional finals by Oklahoma A &
M. In the season's final tabula
tions, the Tar Heels ranked as
the No. 2 team in the nation.
"No consideration has been
made for a new coach and there
won't be for quite sometime,"
said Athletic Director Bob Fet
zer, "since we thought we were
going to keep Carnevale. The
University regrets very much to
lose Carnevale, but didn't feel as
if we could stand in his way
since the Academy made him
such an impressive offer."
The amount Carolina offered
Coach Carnevale is not known,
but it is rumored that the Mid
die offer almost doubled that
which Carolina had hoped would
keep the 30 year-old Navy Lieu
tenant here. Carnevale has been
negotiating with the Naval
Academy for the past few weeks,
but insisted to wait around and
see if Carolina could match or
better the Middie deal.
The Naval Reserve brought
Carnevale to the campus in
March 1944 as a V-12 athletic
officer and he assumed the bas
ketball reins the following year
after Coach Bill Lange left for
another post. He built his initial
season's team around one return
ing varsity reserve and one jay
vee player and emerged with a
quintet that won the Southern
conference championship. This
team turned down a bid to the
National tourneys because of
regulations on Navy trainees
during the war.
During his second season at
Carolina the White Phantoms
wracked up an impressive rec
ord of 30 wins in 35 starts to
bring his two-year record to a
grand total of 52 victories in 62
contests, for an .838 average.

BEN CARNEVALE
A native of New Jersey, Car
nevale was one of the main
reasons N. Y. U. boasted a cage
powerhouse during his playing
days there. In his three years
the Violets, lost a total of five
games, the last to Whizzer
White's Colorado team in the
finals of the National Invitation,
48-47, which came in the last five
seconds a'fter a Carnevale bas
ket had put NYU into a short
lived lead.
Under Carnevale this season,
the Tar Heels downed the Naval
Academy in a cage thriller, 51
49, to drop Navy from the un
beaten ranks. Carolina's court
slate next year also includes a
game with the Middies.
The war came after he had
spent time as a pro player, with
NYU and also put in some time
as a high school mentor at Cran
ford, N. J. After unsuccessfully
trying almost every branch of
the service, Carnevale was final
ly accepted in the Navy Pre
Flight program in 1942. Caro
lina and the White Phantoms
soon followed and his success
reached its peak this year.
