J PAGE 4 THE SUMMER SCHOOL WEEKLY FRIDAY. JUNE 7. 1857 SPORTS CLOSE-UP Cheek to Cheek BY LARRY CHEEK Lennie Wins Patterson Medal 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 athletic award, it was announced by Athletic Director C. P. Erick- son. Rosenbluth, who led UNC to an undefeated season and was unani mous AU-American, was chosen for "general excellence in athletics and other phases of University life." The award tops a long list of honors Rosenbluth has been ac corded for his play this winter He was named ACC Athlete of the Year, was winner of the Foy Roberson, Jr., Award as player who contributed most to team spirit and morale; Carrington Smith Trophy as the team's most outstanding player; Mrs. Dorothy O'Sullivan Award as the top foul shooter; Jeff Thomas Trophy as the University's Most Outstanding Athlete of the year.

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 Student Directories To Go On Sale Soon Looking for a lost friend?
