TECH NEXT DUAL MEET
Hoping to chalk up another win o
offset the loss in the Va.-V.P.I.-U.N.C.
triangular meet held at Blacksburg,
eleven members of the Carolina track
squad left for Atlanta Thursday night
to participate in the annual Georgia
Tech Relay Carnival. The Heels have
won the 4-mile relay for the past three
years, and although they will be with
out the services of John Henderson,
who recently lowered the Conference
record for the five mile, they are hope
ful of taking another trophy. 'There
will be. Carolina teams entered in two
other relays, and men in two other
events.
In the distance medley Nims will
be running the 440, Evans the 880,
Pritchett in the three-quarter mile,
and Elliott or Barkley in the mile.
The two-mile relay will -be contest
ed on behalf of the Carolina outfit by
Evans, Homey,, Elliott or Barkley,
each running a half-mile. ,
In the four-mile classic Wrenn,
Fisher, "Pritchett, and Barkley or Elliott,-
will each run a mile.
"Puny Harper, who has been fling
ing the discus all over the field, will
try his. hand at that diversion, and
Jeff Fordham, former star jweight
man on the Carolina teams, will be in
the javelin contest. All events are
entered by invitation, he being asked
to compete in that contest.
In all distance affairs, Carolina
teams are dreaded by apponentssince
very few long races have been lost by
the Hillians in the past several years".
This success has been due in a large
measure to Dale Ranson, former stu
dent here and track man, who trains
and ceaches the distance men. " ,
The majority of the track squad
stayed on the Hill in preparation for
the dual meet with Georgia Tech, Sat
urday next. This meet is very im
portant, ranking with that of Vir
ginia, according to the coaches. The
Heels took the contest last year with
the close score of 65 to 61.
John Henderson, who has been do
ing excellent running lately, was un
able to go south because of an in
jured leg from the triangular meet
fn Virginia. The trainers are hope
ful of getting him ready for the meet
with Tech" Saturday.V

First of Three-Game Series with
Cavaliers in Charlottes

Virginians Hold Edge over Tar
Heels, Having 44 out of 79
Games to Their Credit; V. M.
I. Next Saturday
The rivalry that has existed since
1891 will be renewed this afternoon
in Charlottesville, Va., when Coach
Jim Ashmore's Tar Heels and Coach
Greasy" Neale's Cavaliers hook up in
the 79th baseball game of the37 year
old series. .
The Virginians have an edge in the
number 'of games won, but accord
ing to the way Carolinians are ac
customed to regard the series that
is since 1922 the Heels hold the edge.
Since the first game in 1891 the Cav
aliers have won 44 games, while the
Heels have been victors in 33 of the
contests. However, the Carolina teams
have been more fortunate since 1922,
for they have won fifteen game?
against six victories registered by
Virginia.
The first great Carolina year was
in 1922 when "Lefty" Wilson, Herman
Bryson, and Captain Manly Lewllyn
turned the Virginians back with,
goose-eggs. Last year, the Heels won
the first game 'of the series 10 to 7
in a ten inning battle. The Cavaliers
gained sweet revenge for that defeat,
however, by upsetting Coach Ashe
more's men in their own back yard to
the tune of 6-2. The last game went
to the Heels by a 11-10 verdict, thus
giving Carolina another series. .
Both teams have played good ball
this year. The Virginians being con
tent to upset Northern team's, while
the Carolina nine has played mostly
Southern teams. Both aggregations
have had a rather light week of play
on account of inclement weather. Most
of the games .scheduled on the Tar
Heel Virginia trip have been cancel
led, while the Virginians have also
been idle for the same reasons.
The Tar Heel baseball team will,
play their second game against a
North Carolina team Wednesday a
gainst Wake Forest on Emerson field.
Saturday, they are due to meet V. M.
I. on the same field.
The Wake Forest game is sure to
attract state-wide interest, as the Dea
cons and Tar Heels have established .
one of the most bitter rivalries be
