I tl .1 n N li 1. 11 w OFF THE CUFF Some Short Shorts About Spring Sports 1 Will Pete Ircnnan sign a professional basketball con trad? Will North Carolina's baseballers ever repel a trey of losses to Georgia, of all people? Will Tar Heel track star Dave Scurlock break any records this year? Is Harvey Salz reallv lW)b Consy in disguise? , The day North Carolina students become enthusiastic out the Spiinj sports schedule will.be the same day that the 1U11 Tower riivs out a shrill version of "Lolliop." . . . That is to sav the "Twelfth of Ncvcr."v What's wronn with baseball, golf, tennis, and track? Maybe it's just the spring of the year and young man's fancy is turning to thoughts of "gettin the hell out of s( hoo 1." Anyway, the following at a Carolina baseball game is about as dismal as the crowd that graces Griffith Stadium in September to watch the Nationals play Kansas Citv. Nothing short of major league baseball, the. Jack Kramer tennis tour, the Masters tournament and our Olympic track scpiad could reie the lerver of the Carolina sportsmen to lootball and basketball heights, once the sun sinks low on the Chapel Hill hot iou. In Int. sometimes the situation is so bad that the pkoers foiget they hae a game to play in the afternoon. Some guy in a (omcrtible suggests a beach trip and not even an Atomic blast at South Building can divert the beach bound neurotics. To the extreme. Duke could steal back the victory bell and it would probablv take a se ries of well-executed .pep rallies to ieic the Tar Heel sports spirit. "Who nixes a damn?" most folks xvould say. "Football paxs all the bills any wav.'" That's what the great Carlisle Indian school All American Jim Thorpe used to sax too, until one dax he reached in his pocket to pay lor a ham I. limit and the lootball money was gone. Jim was also a nood track and baseball star, but that cupboard xvas always bate. In the Spiing. it seems that everybody wants to take an aitixe p.ut in the sports pie tine at Carolina, but nobody wants to see the stars pet hu m. I'm sure the stars share that compulsion. Mirror. Mirror, on the wall, who's going to .sutler the most of all? Why. baseball, track, golf and tennis, of course Whist anyone? Yanks Beat Boston BOSTON Yoi Berra hit a two-run homer as the New York Yankees collected all their runs in the seventh inning to defeat Bos ton 30 yesterday in opening d.' fense of their American League championship. The stocky New York catcher spoiled what had been a fine pitching job by the Sox' Willard Nixon and decided the contest when he pulled the ball into the screen near the top of the ri?ht field foul pole on a two-strike pitch. Nixon, who had yielded only one hit a Berra single and had allowed a mere three balls to be hit out of the infield over the first six innings, had just walked Mickey Mantle. Orioles Take Senators BALTIMORE The Baltimore Orioles winded a 6-1 victory over thf Washington Senators Tuesday behind the batting of third base hope Brooks Robinson and veteran catcher Cus Triandos. j The game was Baltimore's first j season opener at home since its return to the major lcaguess The 20-year-old Robinson from Little Rock. Ark., and Triandos, in his fourth season with the Orioles, each slashed three hits. 0 : DRUGS IWITH A REPUTATION v t hormocUH riiii Ovm 4,000,000 Prescript! t 1957 Tigers Edge Chicago CHICAGO New shortstop Billy Martin, after three consecu tive strikeouts, singled across the winning run in Detroit's 4-3 open ing day victory over the Chicago White Sox before 28.319 Tuesday.

Tex., a week ago, Coach John Fitz patrick made some helpful ob- ! servation from the bench, Hanev I 1 said "something like, 'if there's anybody in your way, ask for ; help.'

YOUR NAMI HERI Telephone MIU.M.C Carolina's George Coxhead was one of New York Life's leading agents last year, qualifying for membership in the industry-wide 1958 Million Dollar Round Table ... A tribute not only to him, but to this school's overwhelming acceptance of New York Life's modern protection. The honor of being one of New York Life's leading agents for 1957 is one George Coxhead worked hard to earn and richly deserves. We extend not only heartiest congratulations to him, but sincere thanks to the many, many Carolina students whose acceptance of New York Life in surance protection made his record possible. Since joining New York Life in 1955, George Coxhead has achieved an enviable reputation as one of his Company's foremost representatives. He is carrying on the tradition as a leader set while an undergraduate at Carolina. As a student he was a member of Golden Fleece, Order of the Grail, Phi Beta Kappa, and Co-Captain of the Swimming Team. We believe that George Coxhead's outstanding record of service to the students at Carolina is typical of the quality of service rendered by New York Life agents everywhere. That, is why, throughout the U. S. and Canada, we so confidently say, "The New York Life Agent on Your Campus is a Good Man to Know." - 1 V day, Carolina's lone conference win came over South Carolina, 5 3, last week, and the single loss was against co-leader Clemson 2-1.
