WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1946 THE DAILY TAB HEEL PAGE THREE 1 i f Filling In By Fred Flagler Conference Rules Ought to Be Explained It appears that all the products manufactured by the rumor factory concerning Tony Yovicsin, the Pennsylvania football pros pect who was tabbed ineligible for the Carolina gridiron in various newspaper accounts, have been quelled by the truth of the case. But even though there is a part of the real story, there is much left for speculation and questioning. One thing is sure and that is Yo vicsin will net play football for Caro lina unless the eligibility board re verses a decision which declared Yo vicsin's connection with Duke Univer sity a violation of the spirit of the rule, even though it was not an actual breach of the Southern conference rules. Now if the board Jias made an un just decision it is up to that body to make amends for any wrong done. Coach Snavely doesn't want to raise a fuss with the eligibility board; neither do the students or alumni un less there is apparent need for some one to put in a two cent piece now and then for justice (not Charlie this time). There are those of the student body who simply can't understand the workings of the eligibility board. They can't figure the way this group acts, but they, for the most part, feel that the board has made a rather hasty decision. The peculiar thing about the mat ter is that Yovicsin, himself, didn't voice much of a protest. The rumors flew thick and fast, arid the imme diate result was rather a smelly sit uation. The unpleasant aspects were brought to light mainly because there never was any authoritative view point revealed by the board stand. It is true that the board has opinions, but what John Q. Public wants to know is what they are. As it stands, the board caught a lot of criticism from Carolina supporters while Yo vicsin received the same amount of sympathy. The matter is by no means closed because the board has made no an nouncement in regard to a change of ruling on the case. Yovicsin has left Carolina for awhile. He will probably come back in a couple of weeks. In order to be Carolina gentlemen about the situation, the board should have a decision ready before his return and not later. ' One might think that Coach Snave ly has an indifferent attitude about football players who are declared in eligible. It does appear that the ath letic staff has a rather defeatist at titude in that they would rather re main in the back room than to come out and play cards where the dea changes hands once in awhile. The truth of the matter is that athletic officials don't desire to have conflicts between eligibility boards and them selves to jeopardize the athletic pro gram, lhis makes sense. It would be a nasty mess if there were a big conflict between the coaches and the board. This will probably not happen because the Old Fox is sort of anxious to produce a leading foot ball team, and he fully realizes that one of the best ways to do that is have harmony all the way around. Snavely is back at Carolina to do things with football. The reason for his leaving the last time (1935) need not be brought to light again, but if he is to produce a winning team he can't be fussing with academic tophats. So, the matter rests with Yovicsin and the board, even though athletic officials would like to do all in their power to make it possible for Yovicsin to play. Yovicsin has voiced his opinion of what he did. He discounted the rumors and made an attempt to clear himself of some rather embarrassing remarks. The board has remained quiet. Now is the time for all good board members to explain themselves publicly so those who are interested as well as Yovicsin will have both sides of the question. E. A.

(St.-nc) In order to eliminate the number of misunderstandings similar to the Yovicsin case, not only the Southern conference but other conferences will have to deal with the public whose simple minds demand a lot of ex plaining. The officials of the confer ence will have to act out in the open. This is not to imply that there is a shady tone to their actions, it is simply that John Q. Public can easily be left with that opinion unless mat ters are handled so they can see and understand them. Only last week an official of the Southeastern conference made an off- the-record remark in which he stated that he thought a certain pair, of foot ball players would not be eligible for football at a certain institution. That sort of talk "in itself breeds ill will because the public feels that the players aren't being given a fair and just opportunity to play where they desire.

The senior men eralloDed off with the team swimming championship at High Point with a 96-point total that head swimming coach Dick. Jamerson said was a Carolinas AAU record for first place in all district events. Big Guns Snooky Proctor and Mike Mor row continued to be the big guns in Carolina's assault on the dis trict swimming records. Proctor swam the 1500 meter distance in 22.24 to notch a new record in that freestyle event, while Morrow best ed the old individual medley record in the time of 3.42. The two swim ming aces shared honors for the in dividual championship in the High Point meet. The Carolina tankmen opened the season in Kessing pool here on July 13 with an impressive performance that gave warning to future oppon ents of the Tar Heel swimming ag gregation. Mike Morrow stole the show in the season opener with two clear cut individual victories. He swam through the 100 yd. free style for men in 56.2 seconds and copped the 50 yd. free style in the winning time of 24.8 seconds. Other swimmers who have notch ed individual victories and greatly aided the Tar Heel cause in meets thus far include Bill Ward, winner of the national junior 55 yd. free style for men, Garnett McCoy, win ner in the 100 meter men's back stroke, and Theodore Moseley, win ner in the 3 meter diving contest for men. In addition to the regional AAU meet here August 23-24, Tar Heel swimmers will participate in several swimming meets during the re mainder of the summer. Regional AAU Frances Kenney and Snooky Proc tor will represent Carolina in the Southeastern Regional AAU for women and the National Junior AAU Meet, to be held in Atlanta, Ga. on August 10-11. Proctor, Morrow, and Don Demp sey will swim for the Tar Heels at the Southern Open Invitational. Swimming Championships at Wilson on August 30-31. Most of Last Year's Squad to Be on Hand Athletic Department Says Duke Game Tickets All Sold Football practice starts in a couple of weeks, and by the weather it seems just about the right time. A few days ago football drills wouldn't have been so bad. The thermometer was ranging at a rather pleasant de gree then, but the real hot weather . way now. seems to be well on its There's where another , ruling comes J in. You can't practice football just when you want to, so says the South ern conference. Through the haze of old faces on the campus now there appjrs Ted Shultz, a star trackman for Carolina a couple of years back. Shultz will probably run again for Carolina. He was in the Navy ROTC here. Though Carl Snavely has the jump on him because most of the old faces belong to former Carolina football players, Coach Dale Ranson will be more than glad to welcome Shultz back to track drill.

The Carolina-Duke sellout means a record attendence for Kenan Stadium, the previous high having been in 1940 when some over 40,000 witnessed the contest between the same rivals This also marks the first sellout in the his tory of the University before the open ing of falls drills. Athletic Director R. A. Fetzer and his associates have utilized just about every foot of available space in Kenan Stadium in order to provide as many satisfactory seats as possible. In round figures there will be 24,000 seats in the concrete stands, 10,600 in the upper and lower portable grand stands, and 7,500 in the portable grand stands at the east and west ends of the field.

Duke and Carolina, including 1575 to season ticket buyers, who got top priority, leaving only 1000 complimentary tick ets and 600 for the Negro section. Enough orders had been received by June 12 to take up all tickets in the concrete stands, and by July 1, when the public sale opened, less than 9,000 tickets were available. There were only 7,000 tickets available in the con crete stands between the 20-yard lines. Application blanks went to 33,374 Carolina alumni, and the average alumnus ordered five to six tickets.

(Continued from page two) the issues raised by many persons throughout the United States are a challenge to be met with thought not hot-headed denunciations. The arguments that controversial discussions injure the prestige of the University in the eyes of the state are always advanced. That they apply -to the Di's discussion is stretching an issue beyond the breaking point. The argument that the Di wastes time in such discussions is often raised. Those who attend do so volun tarilyif they think their time is wasted, they need not attend. The argument that the discussion is adolescent or ridiculous may be valid every man has a right to judge for himself what he thinks is adolescent or ridiculous. I would like to submit the opinion that some of the discus sion Wednesday night was of a low caliber while some was very interest ing and as informative. . In conclusion, let it be said that the Di is meeting tonight to discuss another bill about which there will be a sharp clash of opinion. Visitors are again welcomed, but the Di urges its visitors to use a little common sense. If a visitor is disturbed by the dis cussion,, he should be sure that he knows the score before he. gallops to the student press with revenge in his heart and blood as his object. Housing Appeal Issued The University housing office si sued another appeal to all residents of Chapel' Hill, Carrboro, and vicinity to notify Mr. Wadsworth at 207 South building in the event they will have rooms for rent to students this fall. Save your copies of the Daily Tar Heel and let us have them bound for you. KILTER (Continued from page two) 4. In short any part of the campus but the present location. The proposed planetarium is another example of the idea oh go ahead pile another building, on the other. I believe that if some thought and consideration were afforded the stu dents in the planning of these dorms the campus would be well satisfied. The crowding of more than two stu dents in a room in one constructed for just two is deplorable but neces sary. Let's not cram buildings in the same way. A building is something fine, individual, and beautiful. Please give them enough space to breathe and be appreciated. LeRoy L. Little By Clarke Stallworth Coach Carl Snavely said yesterday that the summer football practice would begin August 16 and that he ex pected 100 or more football aspirants to show up. Assisting him in his coaching duties will be Max Reed, Jim Gill, Russ Mur phy and Crowell Little. George Stirn weiss will help after the baseball sea son is over. Coach Snavely expects most of last year's sqaud back for this season but some will be missing. The draft law claimed Al Bernot, lankey center; Bill Wardle, a stocky guard and Paul Rizzo and Joe Gurtis of the backfield. Co Captains Bill Voris and Bill Walker were discharged by the Navy and Ma rine Corps, respectively, and went else where and Bill Pritchard and Ed Gold ing entered the Naval Academy this last July. "Veterans returning to school, bar ring injuries, will be better ball play ers than they were before, being older mentally and physically," Coach Snavely said. In the front rank of these returning players are Chan Highsmith, All Southern center here before he enter ed the service; John Tandy, an end who coached and played with a Navy team in Hawaii which won the Pacific Championship; Ham Strayhorn and Max Spurlin, guards; Billy Myers and "Shot" Cox, tailbacks who played under Coaches Tatum and Young; Walt Pupa, big blocking and plunging back; Jack Hussey and Sparger, two ends, and Joe Kozsinki, a blocking back. Snavely discounted the rumor that Felix "Doc" Blanchard was flunk ing out of West Point and coming to Carolina to play ball, adding that he would be ineligible anyway, under the Southern Conference's new ruling con cerning men who have played at West Point and the Naval Academy. According to Snavely, the backfield will run mostly from the single wing attack, with the "T" formation held in reserve. About the Tar Heel's tough 1946 schedule, Snavely said, "It gives us a chance to .show how good or how bad we are." Camera Club Meetings Will Resume Tonight The Chapel Hill Camera Club will resume its regular meetings com mencing this evening, at 7:30 o'clock in the Wootten-Moulton Studio down town. All members are urged to attend, as one of the primary matters on the agenda is the problem of locating new quarters for future meetings. Sammy: "Won't you thing off for cash?"
