FRIDAY,1 FEBRUARY '23 1952 THS DAILY TAR HEEL -PAGE TI121EI Strictly Ad Lib By Rcbbfrts eighvo n Loses I o Jones Coach Bob's Big Meet ATHLETIC DIRECTOR R. A. (COACH BOB) Fetzer will be in jU;. glory tomorrow, you can bet your bottom buck on that. He'll liet a little and worry some, but he'll love it. The occasion is the 16th annual running of the Southern Con ference Indoor Games, an event which Coach Bob has fathered since ils infancy. The amiable Tar Heel athletic boss gets more kicks sr. -n a first-rate track meet than most people do from a three-ring t-nrus. And, speaking of circuses, that's exactly how the big indoor shindig has been billed for the past several years. Most of those who've seen the indoor classic agree that it is (;u- of the most colorful athletic events to be found between here am! Tnnbuctoo. Picture Woollen Gym with pennants waving from ih.. rafters, spectators shouting, and some 600 top-notch track and f .-Id artists at peak performance and you have something of a ten tent idea of a 98 cent show. Track stars like Chunk Simmons, Bill Albans, and a host of other nationally-ranked aces have helped build the meet into one of the finest in the country but no one has done more for the meet tiuii has Coach-Bob. Man of Many Miracles COACH BOB CAME TO CAROLINA 28 years ago when Southern .-porUs were rather closely akin to one of Aunt Nellie's quilting poi-ties. During his stay here, the Southern Conference has rocketed i.; an all-time high and has gained national prominence with UNC at the prow. SC Swimmers In Close Race In First Event RALEIGH, Feb. 22 Mal colm Jones of Virginia Tech sent the Southern Conference Individ ual Swimming Championships off to a surprising start tonight by winning the 1,500 meter freestyle race. Jones beat out another sur prising performer, Bill Leighton of the University of North Caro lina, in a stirring finish after both had changed up on the pre-race favortie. Bill McCready of Vir ginia Military. , The three, racing in the final heat, staged a bristling contest. For over two thirds of the dis tance they raced almost as a team, each taking his turn at holding the lead. McCready finally fell well out of it in the final few minutes and the two underdogs went at it hammer and tongs, with Jones having just enough finish ing kick to nose out Leighton. The modest, unassuming Fetzer was the mainspring in a 1933 j The winning time was 21:05.9 as - - SC Indoor Games To Be Held Saturday; Carolina Is Favored To Win 13th Title By Frank Allston. Jr. Carolina's largest and most col orful athletic event of the year will be held in Woolen Gymnas ium tomorrow with the 16th an nual running of the Southern Conference Indoor Games. Some 600 trackmen represent ing 50 schools will be on hand for the action which begins with a morning session at 9:30, an after noon session at 1:30 and the iinal events, starting at 7:30 in the evening. Carolina will be seeking her 13th conference title and her seventh in succession in the con ference division while Duke and Maryland are expected to be Car olina's chief contenders. Navy will be on hand to de fend its title- against favored Georgia Tech in the non-conference division, Carolina's fresh man team will defend its fresh ed number of Indoor Games tick ets available. They will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis at $1.50. Carolina students may purchase tickets at a special price of 75 cents upon presentation of passbooks. Maryland won the Invitational Games at College Park last week and unveiled several strong per formers who should rank as fa vorites in. their events. The Terps' Jack Unterkofler is the defending Indoor Games champ and holds the record of 49ft. 7 3-4 in. in the shot put. Tar Heel Tonight Cagers Face Duke In Crucial Contest Carolina's basketball team tra- j to hold down Groat in an attempt vels to Durham tonight to play to give the Carolina five a chance that split the unwieldy, 23-team Southern Conference into two i compared with the event record man title and wasnington-r.ee xugn oi nrungiun, va., win ue lend in the scholastics bracket. Carolina will go into the meet with only one indoor dual meet, a 90-14 victory over N. C. State. However entries in the Washing ton Evening Star Meet, the Phil adelphia Inquirer Meet, the Mill rose Games and the Maryland , In vitational have shown that the tntirely separate groups, the new loop being known as the South eastern Conference. That, however, is only one of Coach Bob's major accomplish ments as desk general of Tar Heel athletics. He has molded the Caro hr.ii Intramural athletic program into one of the finest in the nation with the able assistant of Walter Rabb and a dozen other interested :, miotic men, he has put Tar Heel athletics on a firm pay-as-you go basis: he has built one of the nation's track' strongholds at Carolina; (.nd he has won for himself the overwhelming admiration of all who know and associate witn him. Prizes the Individual ABOVE ALL HIS PERSONAL accomplishments, however, Coach Bi ib looks upon the indoor extravaganza as the greatest thing that ever happened to Southern Conference sports and he has plenty of justification and plenty of people who will back him up on that view. Fetzer is a man with his heart as well as his mind deeply rooted in the athletic structures of this nation that teach sportsmanship and fair plaj' to all. Coach Bob piizes the individual for what he is and never looks down on an opponent. He gets as much pleasure irom watching one ol his boys finish last as ne does irom seeing cortecr him pace the field if the boy gives the game all he has. That's ah the likeable old fellow with twinkling eyes, penetrating grin, and a deep-rooted philosophy of fair play asks of his boys. That, Fetzer believes, is all anyone can ask. He "has piloted Carolina" 6 1h without stepping on. anyone's toes. He has never pushed the little man back on his way up the ladder of success, and he has never denied any boy the opportunity to participate in sports at Carolina. He has. in fact, fostered move after move to encourage the less talented young men of the school to make use of their time to good advantage and he can think of no better use of a boy's time than playing the game. He has done more than any other man for the furtherance of Southern track and is generally conceded to be the. "Dean of South ern Track and Field Coaches." He was deeply hurt by news of the recent basketball scandal and holds the view that such oc naerces can not 'help but harm collegiate sports in one way or an- It is more than a temporary mot ol me leager, ne says, n that will be there until the colleges prove to one ana of 19:36 set last year by North Carolina's Jimmy Thomas who did not enter the race this time. McCready was runnerup last year, and on that basis, was fa vored tonight. Jones, Leighton and McCready all bettered the times of the win ners of the first two heats, Duke's Stuart Vaughn and Francis Pep per of Davidson. N. Y. Scandal Spreads Fast its final and most crucial contest of the year as it meets the Duke Blue Devil cagers at 8:30 in the Duke Indoor Stadium before an expected capacity crowd. The game for Carolina will all j but decide whether or not the Tar i Heels will be able to gain a berth ; in the Southern Conference play j oft's scheduled to start next week ; at the Reynolds Coliseum in Ra-, leigh.
