PAGE SIX - THE DAILY TAR HEEE FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1951 7 I am Post n cores I o Idem 01 yr Strictly Ad Lib os re its Sub-Par By mm ' A Bad Situation i; MUCH,' PROBABLY TOO MUCH, has been said and written about the merits and evils of scholarships for collegiate athletes. Be that as it may, I'm taking this -opportunity to hit upon a situation which I think is very bad and it exists right here at Carolina. - The question of whether it is morally right to grant "free rides" to outstanding athletes just as they are granted to - oustanding scholars is neither here nor there in this instance, although I be lieve the doling out of grants-in-aid is a good thing to a certain extent. The problem which I want to discuss here, however, is one that has proved to be a thorn in the sides of certain members of the University athletic staff. v The Carolina swimming, golf, and track teams have been con sistent winners over the past few years. Indeed, the track team has brought home more Southern Conference championship trophies than any other team on campus. The coaches of those sports have a batch of athletes that rank with the best but the boys gl nothing except self-satisfaction as a reward for their winning efforts. Something Should Be Done ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE one or two scholarships in exist ence for trackmen, swimmers, golfers, tennis and baseball players, the secret is so well kept that even the coaches, apparently, are in the dark. ' It hardly seems fair to the boys who play the sports if football and basketball get the lion's share of the scholarships while base ball, track and other sports go unattended. We all love football, and, more than that, love a winner. Most people, of course, don't need aftyone to tell them that a winning football team is impossible without grants-in-aid in these days of fabulous bidding for athletes. If does seem, however, that our fair-minded athletic council could consider scholarships for outstanding athletes in other sports. In a recent Big Four survey to ascertain the extent of scholar ship awards, Bob Brooks of the Raleigh News and Observer found that Carolina has absolutely no '"free rides" for swimmers and golf ers. The track team has, or had at the time of the survey, one man with a half scholarship, and the baseball tsam has three boys who gjet their tuition paid. Two boys on the tennis team also hold part scholarships. Several trackmen and.baseballers get their rooms free. Sometimes It's the Coaches THE PROBLEM SOMETIMES STEMS from the coaches them selves. Baseball Coach Bunn Hearn is known to be in favor of absolutely no scholarships for his boys. He thinks that, the boys should play the game for the love of it and for pure sport. Un fortunately, however, the other Big Four coaches don't see things in the same light. . ' It is entirely posible that the coaches of tennis, track, swimming, and golf feel the same way that Hearn does, but the chances are that they would welcome one or two boys of extra-high calibre. The basketball team has seven full and three partial scholarships, according to. Brooks' figures. And, take my word, for it, those grants are none to high. Coach Tom Scott has had a number of excellent basketball players, on campus for tryouts in the past few years and most of them had high praise for Carolina until the scholarship question was broached. After that, the boys were usually very pleasant but left with a nod of disapproval. Among those who have desired to attend Carolina is All-America Bill Mlkvy, the boy who sparked Temple's fine team last year. He was interested but, naturally, took the best offer. Ed Morris of N. C. State was enrolled here in the summer of 1949, but later with drew his application and went to the Raleigh branch of the Greater University. And who's to blame him. He plays basketball and base ball and State had the basketball scholarship to lure him away. There are others, but those examples should suffice. Things have definitely come to a sad state in regard to the sports mentioned above and it seems that something could be done if the alumni groups and the CAA would pull together. Certainly, something needs to be done. Streamlined Freshman Team May Supply fireworks In Blue-White Tilt Saturday A streamlined -freshman Blue Xpam may furnish the big fire works in the annual Blue-White 'game here Saturday at 2 p.m. Coach Jim Camp"s rookies are expected to show a flashy attack and the upperclassmen . Whites will have to be potent to stop them. ' Billy Williams at tailback, Bob White at fullback, Charlie Motta at wingback and Harold David son at quarterback form a fast and powerful backfield combina tion. All four are high ranking candidates for varsity berths next fall. White, Williams and David son stand a good chance of being starters on the 1951 Tar Heel team. White's play has been the talk of spring practice. He is a power ful line smasher and weighs . a hefty 185. Williams, the former Henderson High School star, has the poise of a veteran and runs, passes and kicks well. He also hoots extra points.

Tackles Thad Eure and Francis Fredere both weigh well over 200 and are fast. Dick Lackey of Shelby is ex pected to do most of the punting for the Blues. He is considered the best kicker on the squad.

Netherlands Top Deacons By For 12th Win (Special to The Daily Tar Heel) RALEIGH, April 26 Carolina's undefeated golfers captured their twelfth win of the season here this af ternoon when they blazed around the Carolina Country Club course eleven under par to stop Wake Forest's linksmen, 18 to 8Y2. Par Busters Rodney McKnight, Bob Black, and Wake's Dick Tiddy tied for medalist honors with three under par 69's. Close behind were Jim Ferree and Lou Brown with 70 and Frank Brooks with a one under 71., Frank Eckert's 72 was the only Tar Heel score not be low par. x Carolina's first twosome, Mc Knight and Brooks, ran into trouble from Wake Forest's Tiddy and Edens with McKnight tying Tiddy W'z-Wz and Brooks losing to Edens after a close match, 2-1. This was as close as the Deac ons ever came to victory the en tire afternoon, however, as the other Tar Heel twosomes posted decisive wins over their oppon ents. The devastating sub-par play of the Carolina squad was too much for the Wakes who couldn't meet the Tar Heels on even terms in the lower twosomes. It was a hot and clear afternoon that the Chapel Hill linksmen picked to post one of their lowest team scores of the season. Play Saturday The next match for the Car olina golf team will be Saturday when Davidson's linksmen come to Chapel Hill ' and Finley Golf course for a return engagement. Coach Chuck Erickson's shot makers blasted the Wildcats 22 to 5 in the first match of the season. Next Thursday the Tar Heels meet Duke's strong golf team on the Hope Valley course. The summary: McKnight (C) tied TidcH. lV2-li,; Edens WF) def. Brooks. 2-1; Best bail: Wake Forest. 3-0. Black .(Ci del. Flick. 3-0; Eckevt ICI def. Randolph, 2-1; Best ball UNC. 3-0. Brown C) def.

(Junior) Seawell and Dave Mullens. As line backers they are expected to give the upperclassmen Whites plenty of trouble. Coach Camp believes his team has a good chance of turning back the Whites. He has been working his men hard all week and they have shown plenty of hustle in the drills. His main worry will be stop ping the demon-like defensive play of Guard Joe Dudeck, End George Norris, and Tackle Tom Higgins.

Carolina's lacrosse team will be on the spot tomorrowmorning when it meets a strong Baltimore University squad at 10:30 on Navy Field. - . ' . The Tar Heels, with a -A record to date, have a chance to avenge the 9-0 defeat suffered at the hands of the Baltimore team in 1950. The visiting Bees have three victories against one setback. Baltimore has averaged over 16 goals per game this year, while the local stickmen have registered only three per contest. Coach Alan Moore has been dissatisfied with the goal output by his charges and will endeavor to improve on this weakness by Saturday. The visiting lacrossemen will oe led by several excellent stick handlers in Bunky Swerdloff, Mike DePasquale, and Dave Pal mer. The contest may turn out to be a battle of the goalies. The Tar Heels' Nick Sowell will be pitted against Buddy Booze who turned in a sterling performance against Carolina last year. Sowell started out slow tnis year but has improved greatly in the past three games. A win for the local stickmen would boost their stock consider ably and would give them a chance of breaking even for the season.
