Ed's note). From Coach Jim Tatum, Blue-White Notes As spring football practice reaches a climax with the annual Blue White Game tomorrow afternoon in Kenan Stadium, a check with the Tar Heels' gridiron chieftain Jim Tatum. found the husky coach a little disturbed with the results of the off-season practices. A number of things have occured during the 20-day practice period to make Sunny Jim voice a pessimistic opinion, and on the other hand, reflect a little optimism. i "I'm very displeased with the way things have gone," said Tatum." In the first place, the field has- been muddy for a good bit ot the time during spring practice and the boys just can't dig in like they should.. Another thing that has hurt us is the fact that we've had some key injuries." Tatum appear bit irritated when he stated thet, ''we've had about as many injuries in-the dorms as we have on the play ing, field." The injury list includes halfback Wade Smith, quarterback Nelson Lowe, end Paul Pulley, guard Bennie Smith, and freshman Bob Bran nan. Tatum was particularly distressed at the lost of Wade Smith end Nelson Lowe. "Smith," said Tatum, has been looking very good and we had counted on him to fill the very important right half back slot. I regret that he has had to miss a lot of practice and won't be available for the game tomorrow." Smith has a broken rib. The Tar Heel coach continued that, "Lowe will have to mis the game because of cut on his foot which he received when he stepped on a drink bottle. I hate for him to miss the experience that he could get in the Blue-White game." Reed And Hathaway To Quarterback With Dave Reed running .the blue team at quarterback it .looks like Curt Hathaway will bo the signal-caller for' the whites. Tatum had hoped to try Hathaway at fullback and let Lowe handle the quar terbacking chores. "If we had Lowe," he said "that would give Curt a try at fullback; a very weak spot at present." Tatum considers fullback and right halfback his weakest &pots at present. "They're just not shaping up as quickly I had hoped," Tatum remarked, "but I will say this, the boys who are working out at those positions are really fighting hard and there's a lot of competetion there." In fact, according to Tatum competetion and hustle have been the life-blood of the ball club. "The boys are fighting so hard to win a starting position," he said, "that it's making them all better ball players." One thing that worried the veteran coacn a great deal was the length of the practice session. "It's hard to take a comparatively ', green ball club like ours and shape it up in a 20 day period," Tatum remarked. ' "One of the main assets of thw years club," he further stated, "is depth." A good many freshmen are shaping up pretty good and once we get our team in order, we shouldn't have to. switch the players around like we did in '56." The Tar Heels were hit hard throughout the '56 season by in juries, and Tatum has seen the time when he didn't have a starter for a certain position on the day before the game. So, for better or for worse, the Tar Heels will take the field Saturday afternoon in Kenan Stadium at 2 o'clock, and the Carolina students who didn't make the trip to Philadelphia', if there are any left who didn't, should go out and watch this preview showing of the 1957 Carolina Tar Heels. It should -be a very interesting afternoon; and don't forget the crowning of the Blue-WTiite queen- and the Mono gram.

Following supper, the election of new team captains was held with Charlie Krepp, this year's captain, presiding. Paul Wrachendorfer was selected by his Reanimates as permanent freshman team captain of the 1956 57 season. Two ace sprinters, rising. seniors Krepp, Fad gen And Nauss Go For New Marks Three of the top swimmers in this area will attempt to set new American and world records in special time' trials at 4:30 this af ternoon in Bowman Gray Pool.

Ralph Casey, team mentor, was also remembered with a very "touching" and "thoughtful" gift by his varsity charges. During the course of a season, Casey walks many miles up and down the 25 yard course of Bowman Gray Pool, yelling, urging, pleading with , his swimmers during the time trials. Many ipairs of Carolina Athletic Association gym shoes are worn out in the process. His "slaves", taking into consid eration the cost of gym shoes, to say nothing of the wear and tear on their coach's health in his "ad vancing" years presented him with a beautiful pair of plastic ten-cent store, small child's, ball-bearing roller skates. The banquet was closed with short talks by Diving Coach Dick Jamerson, also presented with a gift by his divers, and Coach Casey. Graduating seniors Krepp, Charlie Parker and Dave Mclnnis made parting comments to their teammates. - San Francisco Be Quest For NCA I i D By HUGH FULLERTON JR. The Associated Press j I The San Francisco Dons, winners of the NCAA basketball champion-: ship for the past two years, open defense of their title tonight with no more than a 50-50 chance of making the semifinals. i The Dons, whose two-year win ning streak creaked to an end last December, oppose Idaho State to night at Corvallis, Ore., in their first tournament game. . This is one high spot of the four regional playoffs that will cut the NCAA field to four teams for the semifinals and finals at Kansas City next week. Others are scheduled to- night and tomorrow at Philadelphia, Lexington, Ky., and Dallas. j If San Francisco, survives these ! eliminations, the chances are the I Dons will wind up as the outsider j in a group that could include un ' defeated North Carolina, Kansas and Kentucky the nation s top three college teams in the season's final Associated Press poll. Minus the stars that accounted for their great past record, Bill Rus sell and K. C. Jones, San Francisco lost six early season games. Then the Dons settled down and won 11 of their last 12 and took the Cali fornia Basketball Assn. title to qual ify for the NCAA tournament. Elsewhere, it's top-rated North Carolina against Canisius. a team that could make trouble, and Syra cuse against Lafayette at Philadel phia. Second-ranked Kansas and Wilt the Stilt Chamberlain meet fourth-ranked Southern Methodist while Oklahoma City, No. 9 in the Associated Press poll, plays Sf. Louis, No. 10 at Dallas. Kentucky plays Pittsburgh and Michigan Shite meets Notre Dame at Lexington. North Carolina had some bad mo ments against a scrappy Yale team in its tournament opener, but won 90-74 for its 23th straight victory. Canisius, another hustling team built around one superb player. Hank Nowak, tumbled West Virgin ia mainly by getting possession of the ball and keeping it for sure shots.

BOti YOUNG . top Tar Heel sub New 20 Second Rule Brings Only Confusion ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) Baseball's new 20-second rule was introduced here yesterday-- and all was confusion. The umpire lost the , count, pitcher Herman Wehmeier of the St. Louis Cardinals lost his tem per, and the , qardinals lost the game. The rule was put into effect this year in an effort to speed up games. It provides specifically that a pitcher must not use up more than 20 seconds from the time he receives the ball from and a strike. Wehmeier was about to make the next pitch. Zernial stepped out of the batter's box to wipe his forehead. And Umpie Hal Dixon, behind the plate, call "ball,"' enforcing the rule. Wehmeier's red face turned even redder. Boiling because k he felt he had been' penalized for politeness in refraining from de livering the pitch, he rared back and fired a fast one as hard as he could throw. Zernial connected with a mighty swing. The ball sail- the catcher until the moment he I ed into Tampa Bay for a home delivers the ball back to the catch er. Wehmeier was pitching to Gus Zernial of the Kansas City Ath letics. The count was two balLs run. That third-inning homer, ac counting for Kansas City's third run, made all the difference. The Athletics won the game 5-4. Rosie Is Named Player Of Year All-American - Lennie Rosen bluth, captain of North Carolina's unbeaten Tar Heels, has . been named "Player of the Year" by the Atlantic Coast Conference Sports Writers Assn.

Pete Brennan In Good Health; No Broken Hand A' rumor saying that Carolina forward Pete Brennan had suf fered a broken hand was dis pelled last night.
