Carter Burwell
Stars in Track
Meets for Citadel
Carter Burwell, a 19-year-old
freshman member of the Citadel
track team, took four first places
for the freshmen in the Georgia
Tech-Citadel track meet in
Charleston two weeks ago. He
won the 100 yard dash (9.7 sec
onds), the 220-yard dash (21.7
seconds), the 220-yard low hur
dles (24.0 seconds), and the hop
step and the jump (42’ 111^”). He
paced the freshmen with 20
points as they went on to win 90
to 46.
The following week, he dupli
cated this feat of scoring four
firsts and a third on a very soggy
track at Purman U. in Greenville,
S. C. He took the 100-yard (10.0
seconds), the 220-yard dash (22.0
seconds), the 220-yard low hur
dles (24.9 seconds), the hop, step
and the jump (4r914”) and a
third broad jump with (21’ llVi”).
The 5’8”, 160-lb. sprinter lost
20 pounds to sacrifice weight for
.speed, and it has greatly improv
ed his times. He is becoming a
threat within the conference in
the dashes and is alresidy known
around the coaches’ circles for his
lightning-fast starts.
Coaches at the Citadel are look
ing for a fine performance from
him at the State and Conference
meets in Columbia in May.
Cadet Burwell is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Lewis C. Burwell, Jr.
of Pinehurst.

TEEING OFF WITH deNISSOFF
Wilton Garrison, Charlotte Ob
server sports columnist, here last
week for the North-South Wom
en’s Golf Championship, in his
Sunday column delivered a well-
deserved pat on the back to Joe
Roddey, Pinehurst Country Club
tennis professional.
At 68, Roddy, as Garrison
points out, can give pupils of all
ages a good fast workout.
We were surprised to learn
from Mrs. Roddey that her hus
band, a Princeton University and
Davidson College graduate, for
merly in the banking and textile
business in his native Rock Hill
(S. C.), had been a professonal
teacher of tennis for only three
years.
During the past two seasons at
Pinehurst he has resurrected the
formerly popular sport out of al
most total extinction here, and it
is a pleasime to see action once
more on the courts, which have
ex;panded to four with the com
pletion and opening last month of
two additional courts.
We think Mrs. R. teams beau
tifully with her husband as a real
partner in the endeavor to re
turn tennis to the Pinehurst
sports scene. A former physical
education instructor, she is al
ways gracious and friendly and
often lends a hand in helping, the
young beginning players.
And, with true Southern hos
pitality, she dispenses gallons of
hot cocoa or iced tea, as the
weather demands, to competitors
and gallery alike whenever tour
naments or exhibitions are in
progress.
Anyone Can Play
'The week of May 1-7 has been
designated by Gov. Terry San
ford as “International Typo
graphical Union (ITU) Week in
North Carolina.” The ITU, the
Governor noted, on May 5 and 6,
Will celebrate its 110th anniver
sary with more than 2,000 work
ers in N. C. represented.
In this connection, we think
there should be a “Let’s Bait the
Editors Week,” because that is a
field where the typographers, and
compositors, are reaUy expert
and anyone can, and usually does,
play.
In the constant bickering which
seems to go on, in small weeklies,
between the editorial nad com
posing room staffs, tension is
built up gradually during the
week and reaches its peak as the
clock races toward the deadline
on “press day.” That is the time
when the delicately adjusted tem
peraments of the editors are
strained to the breaking point,
and do “the boys in the back
room” know it!
When we first began this col
umn, with the trial run of the
Pinehurst Page in the fall, one of
the gentlemen from the compos
ing room ambled up to us just
about at our noon deadline
Thursday and asked, with be
guiling (and sadistic) innocence,
“what does ‘teeing off mean?”
“It means,” we snarled, “that
we get mighty teed off at you and
your tricks and your so-called
sense of humor.” Or words to that
effect.
We also asked for criticisms,
both adverse and otherwise, on
the new page. We received none
from our readers but quite a few
from our fellow workers—one of
whom particularly objects to our
describing pine trees as “allur
ing.” He says they aren’t.
A former associate editor of the
paper, now sweating out his last
year at the UNC School of Law,
takes issue with what we consid
er most innocuous—the asterick
in our “teeing off” headline.
And so it goes.
Actually, though we wouldn’t
want them to know it, we are con
stantly amazed that the typog
raphers, compositors, and all
those who have to do with the
mechanics of the paper not only
put up with the editors week
after week, but that they do such
a clean, deft, and remarkably
uniform job—^week after week.
