SUMMER SCHOOL: A TIME FOR BOOKS
Action on the Carolina sports front reaches a low ebb during
the summer months, and picks up only with the beginning of fall
football practice on Sept. 1. About all summer school students can
look forward to is sports on a participation basis, that is intramural
activities.
Bui the respite from intercollegiate athletics with all the
accompanying tension and pressure comes as quite a refresher for
a number of Tar Heel athletes. It gives them a chance io worry
about the books for a change, and forget about showing up at
practice every day. And it gives them an opportunity io make up
hours and quality points lost in ihe flurry of varsity competition.
Pacing the summer school parade of athletes will be several of
Coach Frank McGuire's varsity basketball players. Because of varied
items such as trips to Philadelphia and Kansas City, the cagers lost
valuable academic ground.
Also on hand will be representatives from Jim Tatum's football
squad, some of whom will be seeking to regain lost eligibility. Mem
bers of various minor sports teams will round out the summer session
athletic menagerie. t - I
UNC TRACK TRIO TO TEXAS
A trio of UNC athletes will carry the blue and white colors in
NCAA competition this summer. Dave Scurlock, Wayne Bishop and
Everett Whatley, outstanding Tar Heel distance men, will run in
the NCAA track meet in Texas next week.
Scurlock. ihe best middle distance runner in University
history, will match strides with a crack collegiate field in ihe 880
yard run; Bishop, sophomore iwo-miler, will go in thai event
against ihe naiion's best; and Whatley. nexi fall's cross-country
captain, is slated io go in ihe mile run.
Jim Beatty, UNC's prime running attraction, will in all probabil
ity sit out the meet with an injured instep. Beatty was forced to
forego the ACC Championships because of the foot, and it is doubtful
if he will compete in the NCAA event.
SUNNY JIM SMILES AGAIN
The Don Coker case has at last been settled, and Sunny Jim
Tatum has reason to smile again. Coker, an A-l schoolboy footballer
from Reidsville, was declared ineligible by ACC commissioner Jim
Weaver when he matriculated to Carolina. Seems a country club
membership constitutes illegal aid to athletes in Weaver's eyes..
Then a couple of weeks ago Commissioner Weaver had a
change of heart and declared Coker eligible for two years of
varsity competition beginning this fall. Taium termed the move
"ihe first break we've received since I came here", and prophesied
that Coker would be in ihe starting backfield come football season.
Coker has been called by those who saw him play in high school
"the best since Charley Justice", but this remains to be seen. The
Reidsville native is big, strong and fast, but it's a long jump from
high school to college. ,
Coker reportedly can play any backfield position, and if Dave
Reed runs afoul of scholastic requirements, he may prove io be
Taium's ace in ihe hole at quarterback. Otherwise he will probably
split iime with Wally Vale ai fullback. Vale was not in school dur
ing the spring semester, but should be eligible again by fall.
Speculation concerning Lennie Rosenbluth's replacement in
Frank McGuire's starting lineup for the next cage campaign has
centered around Lee Shaffer, the magnificent rising sophomore from
Pittsburgh, Pa. But for our money it looks like the new fifth man will
be Harvey Salz, the New York lad who sat out last season because of
scholastic deficiencies. Salz will be back in school come September.
All-America Lennie Rosen
bluth, captain of the NCAA
Champion North Carolina basket
ball team, is winner of the Joseph
F. Patterson Medal, UNC's top

A Glance at the Majors
Go Sox Gone!
The Chicago White Sox, paced
by the superlative hurling of lefty
Billy Pierce, who has a record of
9-2, are leading the New York
Yankees a merry chase in the
American League through games
of Tuesday night.
The Chisox enjoy a five-game
lead over the Bronx Bombers and
a six and one-half game bulge
over the third-place Cleveland
Indians. The Boston Red Sox are
in fourth slot with the Detroit
Tigers holding fifth position.
Rounding out the standings are
the Kansas City Athletics, Balti
more Orioles and the Washington
Senators.
Phils Surprise
The Cincinnati Redlegs hold a
game and a half edge over the
surprising Philadelphia Phillies
in the National League through
games of Tuesday night. The
Brooklyn Dodgers, defending
league champions, are in third
place, only two games behind the
Cincy club.
The Milwaukee Braves, picked
by many to be a shoo-in for the
senior circuit's pennant this year,
are floundering around in the
fourth slot. The rest of the
league is balanced in the order of
the St. Louis Cardinals, New
York Giants, Pittsburgh Pirates
