THE DAILY TAR HEEL
PAGE THREE
Bobbing in Sports
By Bob Goldwater
Probably no college in the country can exhibit as high a record
in any sport as that compiled by North Carolina in the 19 years
that John Kenfield has coached its tennis teams. Since 1928 when
the popular mentor began directing Tar Heel net fortunes, Caro
lina has registered the phenomenal total of 246 victories, only" 18
defeats and three ties. One-half of the losses came during the
extremely lean war years of 1944 and 1945.
On the winning side of the ledger, Kenfield has turned out nine
undefeated teams, including a four-year streak between 1930-33
and another three-year skein from 1939-41. It was during the
latter streak that the winning ways stretched through 66 straight
matches before being brought to a halt by Princeton. "
Heading the parade of stars coached by Kenfield would be Bryan
"Bitsy" Grant, Wilmer Hines, Harris Everett and Vic Seixas, who
achieved national ranking as number nine in 1942 while only a
freshman in college. With three years of eligibility left, Seixas
would be a welcome addition to Coach Kenfield's please for an
other unbeaten unit, next season, when most of this year's team,
which hung up the impressive slate of 15 wins in 16 clashes, re
turns for another year of competition.
Recent visitors to. the campus during the past month included
four regulars from Coach Bunn Hearn's.1943 pennant-winning
crew. Three of these, Dub Johnson, Mack Morris and Lew Hay
worth, formed three-fourths of one of the smoothest infield com
binations Carolina ever fielded and the first two had been elected
co-captains for the 1944 campaign succeeding Hay worth, but en
tered the service before the season opened. Johnson, a first base
man, and Morris, a second sacker, will probably return to action
next year, with only the former encountering difficulty, in the
person of John Gregory, in regaining his position. Hayworth,
equally adroit at short or third has signed a professional contract
and would be ineligible should he come back to college.
The fourth member of the quartet, Ken "Whitey" Black,
makes another visit here tomorrow when, he performs with
the Norfolk Naval Air Base outfit against his alma mater. A
freshman outfield sensation in 1943, Black also expects to ap
pear in a Tar Heel uniform in 1947. From reports received
from Norfolk, he has been whaling the ball at a steady clip
all season and, along with Morris and Johnson, could pro
vide the much-needed punch lacking, with a few exceptions,
in this year's nine. .
If North. Carolina's gift to,the St. Louis Cardinals, Max Lanier,
and his two teammates go through with their threatened jump
to the Mexican Xeague, there is no doubt but that it will hurt
the Cards' pennant chances, despite Sam Breadon's statement
that "we can win just as well without them." A life-long resi
dent of Denton, the big southpaw leads the National League
hurlers with a 6-0 record. There seems to be little doubt Hut that
Lanier, pitcher Fred Martin, and infielder Lou Klein, will con
tinue with their contract-jumping plans, since, when last heard
from they were headed in the general direction of Mexico.
While on the subject of the majors and Mexico, we believe that
"Babe" Ruth, currently a guest of the Mexican loop's president,
will receive more than just a slight jolt upon learning that Bill
Dickey succeeded Joe McCarthy as manager of the New York
Yankees. The "Babe" never made a secret of the fact that-he
would "gladly" accept the position, and once told owner Jake
Ruppert to "choose between McCarthy and me." Ruppert chose
McCarthy, who went on to. win seven pennants over an eight-year
period. Larry McPhail's choice of Dickey appears as wise as that
of the Chicago White Sox front office in making Ted Lyons man
ager to succeed Jimmy Dykes.
Incidentally, Taft Wright, White Sox outfielder, is an uncle
of hurler Hamp Coleman, who leads Bunn Hearn's pitching
corps with a 5-3 mark.

(UP) A new CIO campaign to

Led by a former Carolina star in the person of centerfielder Ken
"Whitey" Black, the Norfolk Naval Air Base nine will play the
Tar Heels in Emerson stadium tomorrow at 4 p.m.
The identity of the starting pitcher for the home club is still
questionable, for Coach Bunn Hearn has two big games with Duke
cominsr up this week and will want to have his hurling staff
primed for the Devils.
Monk Whiteheart, veteran ace
from Winston-Salem, is the man
wThose turn it is to take the
mound according to the way the
Carolina hurlers have been ro
tating, but Hearn may decide to
save Whiteheart for a later ap
pearance and throw another
twin city native against the
sailors in the person of John Mc
Elrath. Five. Wins
Whiteheart has accounted for
five Tar Heel wins this spring as
against four losses, while McEl
rath, left-handed pitching hold
over from last year's team, has
a one and one mark.
Black, who starred as a fresh
man for the Tar Heels in 1943,
has been playing excellent ball in
the service and is one of "the lead
ing hitters on the Norfolk club.
The game with Norfolk is one
of two remaining home games
for the Tar Heels, who will play
Duke here on June first. On
Wednesday, the Hearnmen will
travel to Durham to meet the
Devils on their home grounds.
The last time Carolina went to
Durham, Bob Houghton pitched
a fine one-hit ball game against
them to even up the Duke-Carolina
series at one game apiece.

Golfers Down
Virginia Team
To End Season
Liles Shoots 70
To Pace Golfers
With Graydon Liles leading
the way on the wings of a blis
tering par 70, North Carolina's
golfers wound up their 1946 sea
son with a decisive 21V-5! de
cision over the University of Vir
ginia linksmen at Hope Valley
yesterday morning.
This win gave the Tar Heels a
season's record of 10 victories
against four defeats, and sweet
revenge for a trouncing handed
them by the Cavaliers at Char
lottesville several weeks ago.
Smarting under that licking,
the worst they had,received this
year, the Tar Heels really went
to wTork on their Virginia neigh
bors this time. Liles, a pre-war
star who has led the Carolina
attack all year, was in excellent
form as he negotiated the Hope
Valley layout in even par figures.
His drives were right down the
middle, his putting was sharp,
and he seldom got in trouble. His
opponent, Bill Jason, didn't have
a chance to break the scoring col
umn. But the best match took place
in the same foursome when Ed
Bailey, No. 2 star for the Tar
Heels, carded a 72 in defeating
Henry Leonard, 2 V.-1.- Bailey's
terrific tee shots constantly kept
him a jump ahead of his rival,
who put up a big scrap before
bowing out.
The Virginians scored all but
one of their points in the third
foursome, where they took their
only individual match of the
day. Duke Eisemann played a
steady game to edge out William
Wood, 2-1, and prevent the Cav
aliers from taking a white-washing
in that phase of the contest.
Ed Ashby and Dan Nyimicz
produced their usual steady
brand of golf to take all but a
half point in the No. 2 four
some. Liles, UNC, defeated Jason,
3-0. Bailey, UNC, defeated
;. Leonard, 2V-i2.
Best ball:
UNC 3, Virginia 0.
Ashby, UNC, defeated Rob
erts, 3-0. Nyimicz, UNC, de
