football and coach of the .ev. .y or
ganized tank team.
Taking over a squad of 20 inex
perienced candidates last winter
wasn't an easy job and Coach Jam
erson knew it. But after losing the
first three meets of the season 10
Virginia, V. M. I., and Duke, the Tar
Heels beat Washington and Lee and
N. C. State and held Duke to a
closer score in the second meeting
of the two teams.
Coach Jamerson entered seven
members of his team in the annual
Southern Conference meet at Ra
leigh but the inexperienced Tar
Heel performers finished next to
last in the team scoring with seven
other Conference institutions.
Seven lettermen and a handful
of untried sophomores reported to
Coach Jamerson in January Tor
Carolina's second swimming edition.
The Tar Heel mentor went to
work right away and his charge- .«jot
off to a flying start with a 05-l:J
victory over Virginia Tech. Innvov
ing with every meet, the Tar Heel -
avenged the Virginia and V. M. I.
licking and took N. C. State and
William and Mary in stride.
Near the end of the season the
Tar Heels received their only de
feat of the season, losing 51-24 to
Florida, Southeastern Conference
champions for the last three years.
Carolina, however, finished strong
by beating Washington and Lee and
Duke, thus evening matters with
their arch rivals from Durham.
It was not until the Southern Con
ference meet that the Carolina tank
men really hit their peak. Rated
second t o Clemson's defending
champions in the pro-meet specula
tion the Tar Heels surprised their
most ardent supporters by rolling
up a record team score of 60 points
compared to Duke's 34 and Clem
son's 27, nearest challengers.
Fleming Stone, a Raleigh boy. and
Jim Barclay of Spring Vailey, N. Y.,
were Carolina's individual lumi
naries. A brilliant sprinter, Stone
scored 72 1-4 points in the eight
