THE SIXTH ANNUAL SOUTHERN INVITATION TRACK
MEET has been- written into the books and all the records will now
he history as next year the meet will be back under the banner
cf the 14th Annual Southern Conference Indoor games.
I The meet was a big success and no little credit should be given
I to Coach Bob Fetzer, Director; Marvin Allen, Meet Manager; the
maintenance crews fiat moved the track and kept the pits in good
order, all the ofifcials who gave their services; and to the runners
from the 37 institutions who made the whole show a terrific night's
entertainment.
If there were an award to be made to the outstanding athlete
in the meet it would go unanimously to Roger Neighborgall of
Duke, who won the 440 and the 880 and set a new record in each
event. Big Roger showed plenty of ability and will to win as he
drove down across the finish line well ahead of the nearest man in
either event. He also wanted to run the anchor leg on the Blue
Devil relay team but the coaches decided that he had done his
share for the day.
While on the subject of coaches, those that were on hand might
make up quite a track team, Percy Beard, the University of Florida
mentor, was top hurdler of his day, Spec Towns, the Georgia Boss,
still holds the World's record in the high hurdles, Archie Hahn,
Virginia's coach, held most of the world's records in the sprints,
Earl Thompson of Navy was the 1920 Olympic High hurdle champ
ion, Carleton Crowell of Tennessee was Big Ten champ in the 440
in his undergraduate days at Wisconsin, and most of the other
coaches held their share of records in competition.
Records remind us of the performance of Jack Moody who
sailed over the high jump bar at 6 feet 3 and eleven-sixteenths
inches to better any mark that can be remembered in these parts.
It was in the high jump that Carolina gained the impetus to cop
the meet. Billy Joyner came through with a leap of 6 feet one and
five-eighths inches for second while Doug Smith who had never
bettered 5 feet 9 came through with a jump of six feet one inch
to give the Tar Heels nine out of eleven points in this event.
Navy Star
The other record in the college division was set by Jim Ober
holtzer of the Naval academy, who cruised to a first place in the
mile in 4:19.8. This mark was better tljan the time that Gerry
Karver of Penn State ran in the IC4A mile in Madison Square
Garden Saturday night. Oberholtzer looked very good all the way
and had the situation well in hand. Last year he led for all but
the last 220 yards and lost out when Alvin Smith of Carolina came
up with a terrific kick to beat him out. Bob Palmer of Maryland
and George Troxel of Virginia staged a thrilling duel for second
place with Palmer winning by the narrowest of margins. Carolina's
Sam Magill was fourth.
Coach Dale Ranson made the remark Saturday night that his
team had won the meet last year with 46 points and that six boys,
who contributed 30 points to the Carolina score last year were no
longer with the team. That list included Chunk Simmons' 10 pointst
in the hurdles, Alvin Smith's five in the mile, Jack Milne's five irr
the two-mile, Norm McLeod's five in the pole vault, ; Tommy
Turner's three .in, the 440, . and Dick .Hollander's two ..in .the. 880
Thus- the win. was. a credit to the squadwthb individuf star cipu
every oae trying his best. A good example Was Dave Willi's, fresh-S
man sprinter, last week at Maryland he failed to make the finals,
but after a week of work he came through in third place to beat
out a much better class of competition. Magill did a fine job in
the mile and two-mile as did Jimmy Miller. Ted Shultz proved to
be the big helping hand with his first m the low's. Dick Taylor
came back from a defeat last week and took the highs. So it's hats
off to the Carolina trackmen and Coaches Dale Ranson and Joe
Hilton.
Track Splinters
The University's Veterans Club came through in fine fashion
with an open house for the Annapolis lads. . . .The talk of the
crowd was Bobby Jones' of George Washington high school, per
formance in turning in a record performance in the scholastic 1000

hours before the event, became a
Duke relay team showed plenty of
a dropped baton last to back in the running position.
None of the North Carolina high schools managed to score -a
point in the scholastic division. . . .There were six teams entered
. . . .Coaching and interest is the answer. . . .Starter Frank Dobson
had trouble with both of his guns and had to recall a heat after
they had already finished. . . .Upset of the night almost went un

Snoddy of Georgia in the Freshmen high hurdles. . . .Snoddy had
gone to the semi-finals in the Senior National AAU championships

Matmen Close
1948 Season
With 4-2 Mark
By Buddy Vaden
Closing out the 1943 wrestling
season, Coach Chuck Quinlan's
mat squad chalked up a record
of four victories against two de
feats as they collected a total of
93 and one-half points in South
ern conference dual meet com
petition. After getting off. to a rough
start due to ineligibility rulings
and minor injuries, the locals
came back after their initial de
feat to win three meets in a row
before losing their second con
test to Washington and Lee, the
probable new Conference champ
ions. In their last meet of the year,
the Blue and White crew eked
out a two-point victory . over
Duke when Bill Kemp earned a
fall in the final and deciding
match to give the Tar Heels, a
14-12 advantage.
Kemp Undefeated
Captain Kemp led the scoring
by winning all of his matches,
four on falls and one by a decis
ion. Wrestling in only five of
the six meets, he amassed 23
points.
Second-place scoring honors go
to 136-pounder Tom Urquhart,
who garnered 17 points, 12 com
ing by way of decisions and the
remaining five on a pin.
Following close behind Urqu
hart is Oscar Gupton, 165-pound
muscleman. Gupton won three
decisions, one pin, and fought to
a draw in his first match against
VPI's Rosen.
One-half point behind Gupton
is freshman 145-pounder Phil
Kemp, younger brother of the
team captain. Phil gained his
points on two pins and an equal
number of decisions.
Fisher Triumphant
Following Kemp in the fourth
spot is Carrol Fisher, intramural
wrestler who joined Coach, Quin
lan's squad this year. Fisher won
four matches, all on decisions.
Doug Thompson, at 128
pounds, Lyn Bond, who wrestled
against Davidson in the heavy
weight class, and Corky Blue
thenthal, who joined the crew for
the last three meets in the 175
pound division, round out the
tallies with six, five, and three
points respectively.
Marvin Wilson, remaining
memhet; ;6fy thsquad see
action, -was -unaMe:.to stare.any
points. Despite this fact, however,
Wilson proved his worth to the
team by putting on superb per- .
formances against some of the
best wrestlers in the Southern
conference.
Entering the new season with
the Conference title under their
belts, the Tar Heels dropped then
first meet by one point to VPI.
After this defeat they came back
to down State, Davidson, and
VMI before losing to the power
ful Generals at Lexington.
Unable to defend their title
this year because of conflicts be
tween the final exam schedule
and the Conference tourney in
Lexington, the local crew will
send only two representatives to
try' for conference crowns in the
145-pound and 165-pound classes.
Phil Kemp, out to get the title
in the 145 class, and Oscar Gup
ton, who will try to avenge his
single defeat of the season, will
be Carolina's lone representatives
in the tournament, scheduled for
next week.

THE ABOVE PICTURE of swimming Coach Willis Casey, right,
and his number one star. Bill Kelly, was taken in 1945 when the
two led Carolina to a very successful season. They still occupy
the same roles of coach and star, but the location has changed
from Chapel Hill io the West Raleigh campus of N. C. State,
where the Blue Dolphins will be in action tomorrow.
Dolphins Prep for Important Contest
Against State Mermen on Wednesday
By Bill Kellam
Carolina's itinerant Blue; Dolphins were back home in
Bowman Gray pool yesterday afternoon stroking out a
lengthy practice session after
in Atlanta, G. A. Although
mermen scarcely exerted them-
selves last week in swamping the
Deep South's two top swimming
teams by well over 40 points each,
the locals' first real test of the
season comes tomorrow afternoon
in the pool of Cow College's
Frank Thompson gym where
they'll splash out the champion
ship of the South against the
unbeaten aquatic Aggies.
Not only will tomorrow's clash
between the Old North State
chlorine giants decide the South
ern conference dual champion
ship, but its conclusion will also
find the nation with one less team
sporting a spotless record.
Twining vs. Kelly
The meet's big attraction will
be the individual battle which
is slated tob e waged between
Carolina's , versatile- Dick Twin
ing and State's " one man team,
Bill Kelly. Since both coaches are
planning to pick their lineups
according to their fortunes as the
meet progresses, the events "that
the tank terrors tangle in won't
be.knawn until they come up. v.

Saturday night, the Dolphins con
tinued their winning and pool
record-breaking
ways as they
buried the Educators under a

one might expect, Dick Twining
set half of them.

SC Tourney Opens Tomorrow;
Phantoms Face VPI Thursday
Virginia Tech, sixth-place
finisher in the Southern con
ference, will provide the op
position for Carolina's White
Phantoms in their opening
game in the annual loop tourna
ment in Durham this week.
For the second time in 16 years,
the tournejr this year is open to
more than the customary eight
teams. The conference directors,
faced with the problem of choos
ing between three teams that
finished in a tie for the eighth
spot, voted to allow all three to
participate in the tournament.
Hence there will be ten teams
in the affair, and two additional
games will be played.
In 1939 a similar tie prompted
the loop chiefs to allow 11 clubs
to get in the action. Clemson, one
of the clubs that barely qualified
for the tourney, went on to take
the title that season.
Teams That Qualified
Making the grade this year are
jN. C. State, George Washington,
Carolina, Maryland, Davidson,
Virginia Tech, Duke, Wake For
est, William and Mary, and South
Carolina. An' unusual feature is
that for the second time in his
tory all five of the North Caro
lina teams in the conference were
able to gain berths.

for the current tourney has Duke

point producing rampage and
now they represent the leaders
in the conference in this first
annual poll.
The quintet was picked from
the ballots sent out by Associa
tion secretary Norman Shepard,
Davidson athletic director. Votes
were counted on basis of two
points for a first team nomina
tion and one for a second team
berth.
No one . received -a - runaway
-margin but. Dickey got '"-first:, place,
voles on all 15 ballots returned.'
He barely nosed out big Bob Pax
ton, the Carolina cage king, who
polled 14 top spot votes and one
second.
The guard ilots went to Co-
Capt. George (Buddy) Cheek of
Davidson and George Washing
ton's Capt. BiJl Cantwell. Bar
