PAGE FOUR THE TAR HEEL TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 1944 Poire Yp Upsets Carolina All-Stars By 72-50 "-i Sum I ! T171 irnaeir One of the leading sports writers in the country suggests a Gridiron Hall of Fame similar to baseball's at Cooperstown, N. Y. Why not? Base ball is, of course, the main sport, the game that attracts more fans than any other, but football has a definite place and a Hall of Fame would not be a bad idea at all. The idea is to dig into football his tory and select a list of the top rank ing gridiron stars from the time the sport began. This would be a good size job, but it should not be too diffi cult. Coaches would also be listed in this potential hall of fame. There will be a host of football greats to select from and not all will be All-Americans, but one All-American that should make this national recognition is Andy Ber shak. Not just because Bershak was a Carolina man, but because, in our estimation, he represented the finest qualities of true sportsmanship. If he had lived longer, he would have prob ably made even a better record as a coach. He is our number one candi date for the Gridiron Hall of Fame. Tennis fans will get another chance to see one of the greatest tennis stars of all times, Don Budge, the only man who ever held titles of four countries at the same time. Lt. Budge, now of the Army Air Force, will perform in Madison Square Garden for the bene fit of the Red Cross. The tennis star was not given leave by the Army for the purpose of playing the exhibition match, he is taking time off from his regular leave. This is only one of many -incidents which prove that American sportsmen are among the greatest Americans. He probably could have spent time with friends. A short period of relaxation might have been preferred, but Budge gladly wel corned the chance to do his bit for the Red Cross. '-..' - Though the Carolina athletic pro gram has come through the fight for existence during war time with flying colors, one of the popular minor sports, golf, goes into its second year on the war casualty list. Last season was the first time in several years that Caro lina failed to field a golf team. With no plans made as yet by the athletic officials, it is almost certain that Caro lina will be less golf another year and possibly for the duration. A freshman, who had played varsity baseball in high school, was pessimistic about his baseball prospects here at Carolina. Jerry Pence is the fresh man's name. He thinks that his chances are too slight with the V-12 trainees around. Just to inform Pence, we will take it upon ourselves to speak for Coach Bunn Hearn and say that any boys whether they think they can make the grade or not will be welcomed to baseball tryout sessions. If enough interested freshmen are around this spring, who knows, there might be a chance for a freshman baseball team. This would be another feather in Caro lina's sports cap. Only one Southern team is in the Na tional Invitational Basketball tourna ment which gets underway March 16. St. John's is pitted against Bowling Green in the first round. Bowling Green is the only Southern quint. DePaul meets Muhlenberg the same night, From what the dopesters say, the usually high class St. John team should not be counted on to go very far. The reason, the other teams outclass the Dragons. Other teams in the tourney are Utah, Canisus, and the Oklahoma Aggies. Long Island U. is beefing mildly because . they were not con sidered for the NCAAA tourney. The Blackbirds feel that they should have been in the pie.

Dopesters Expect Selection Of Head Football Mentor This Yf eek Snavely Remains 5 Probable Choice By Fred Flagler Carolina athletic officials are ex pected to come to a definite conclu sion early this week, 'possibly before the Tar Heel hits the campus, on just who will be selected or asked to accept the head football coaching post here. D wight Stussey, assistant coach at William and Mary under head coach Carl Voyles is a possible candidate for the coaching nosition. Stussev made a name for himself under the capable Bob Zuppke at the University of Illinois. He has not held a top ranking college mentorship, but his associative coaching work has been creditable and prognosticators think that Stu'ssey is a likely candidate. No Mention No mention has been made by local officials as to who has been approached on the matter. The rumor persists on the possibility of Carl Snavely's re turn. Snavely was surprised at the rumor, stating, "I have heard some astonishing news in my day, but this is the most astonishing." (referring to the rumor). Though dopesters and leading alumni of Carolina think that the Cornell mentor would be Caro lina's best bet, Snavely stated that he would remain at his present pos. This statement, however, conforms with the ticklish position which Snavely is in. Any statement he might make would, of course, cause friction with Cornell athletic bosses. William and Mary head coach, Carl Voyles, said that he thought Carl Snavely was the best coach in the country and that Carolina would be ucky to get him. Voyles is also likely candidate for the post, None of these coaches will be too en thused over duration contracts. Wolf has a head coaching contract, if, how ever, he resigns, there will be a dura tion contract open at Carolina. Voyles Voyles, a full professor at William and Mary, has a permanent tenure of office. At Carolina, he explained would have more boys to draw from as it has a much larger student body. Speculation has it that Voyles would give serious consideration to a nve year Carolina contract plus terms con sistent with his ability as a big time coach. He has had a feeler from Au burn, but he has refrained from mak ing statements about either possibil ity. At press time there was no word from the ones in the know here. Offi cials kept quiet as a mouse, pending definite decision sometime this week Prognosticators around North Caro lina continue to have the opinion that Carl Snavely might consider Carolina These fellows will find out how potent their guesses are, possibly this week when the final decision is made. WIGGINS ( Continued from first page) he subscribed to the theory that in creased production could be facilitated by the use of deficit financing, bu that such a procedure was mortgaging the present without regard for the fu ture. Public debt he divided into two catagories: "dead" debt and debt that results in a continued benefit to soci ety and is, hence, applicable to amor tization by the government. The lat ter is desirable, the other undesirable. Private Enterprise Mr. Wiggins concluded with a spe cific statement as to his opinion on how private enterprise could be pre served after the war. Included in this plan was a revised tax structure, gov ernment regulation of monopolistic institutions in the society, and a fiscal policy that would restore the "faith of the businessman in order that he will "energize" the economic .commun ity with the productive use of the funds he now holds idle. The speech was followed by a short question and answer period and an informal reception in the lounge. Main St. Hearn Begins 35th Season Around Baseball Diamond Yesterday afternoon at 5:30, Coach Bunn Hearn officially began his 35th season in the capacity of professional baseball player, manager, and college coach. . An All-Southern in football and baseball during his college days at Elon and Mississippi A&M, the pop ular Carolina baseball mentor has had wide and varied experience dating back to 1910 when he began his major eague career. He pitched in the ma jors for six years and played with such .top baseball clubs as the New York Giants, St. Louis Cardinals, and the Boston Nationals. In an exhibition jaunt with the N. Y. Giants and the Chicago White Sox, Hearn set world records both in the box and at the plate. He had the dis tinction of hitting three homers in one game. Two of these were in the same inning. In 1913, he set up a pitching record for consecutive score less innings in one game by going 20 innings without allowing Jersey City a run. During the first world war, he PORTIA Continued from page two) of the Nazi party in Germany since the first World War, covering the early days of its obscurity and its slow rise to power by bribery, treach ery, murder and blackmail. Foster ing the meanest elements of the Ger man nation, the urge for world power, they were encouraged to be physically brutal, morally corrupt and to take part in intrigue, deceit and bargaining with the tottering Republic to gain the seat of the Chan cellory, An attempt is made to psycho- analyze Hitler in a bold insidious manner, revealing the literature on which the nihilistic philosophy was nursed and tracing the gradual pro cess by which the party gained the support of the German people by promising them what they wanted. For "in the long run only those can be coerced who really want to be, and this was the secret of Hitler's whole policy of successful coercion." Heiden concluded his book with an observation that the real degrada tion of the Germans lay in the fact that they preferred being in league with the devil himself to being adrift in an age of faithlessness, willing to give themselves without question to a corrupt leader in whom they could put their unthinking, self -abasing faith. No greater indictment can be found than this against the German nation, and for this they must some day answer. Incredible World (Continued from page two) quarter-giver tugged gently at his sleeve. The usher turned back to him. While the organ played the amen to the offertory the man fum bled through his pockets and finally succeeded in finding a penny which he dropped, without ceremony, into the plate. The usher looked a little confused and raised his eyebrows in question. "Forgot the tax," the man whis pered in a serious tone. I don't think he was joking. I am sure there is a place reserved for him in the sales tax section of paradise. In order to make a fine appearance in business . . . your clothes must be letter-perfect in neatness.

Af ter the war, he went into professional ball at Winston-Salem. In 1932, he returned to Carolina as head baseball coach and he has been here ever since. Most Successful Probably the most successful Caro lina diamond squad under Hearn was the crack 1934 outfit. Losing only one game out of 21 tries, the Carolina nine that year took state and Southern Conference titles. For the last three years, Hearn has done equally well. The Carolina nine boasts state and conference laurels for the past three seasons. Last year Coach Hearn whipped up a team that came out on top of the war time circuit, the Ration League. Only six lettermen were on hand for Coach Hearn to build his team. But with a host of sophomore hopefuls, Coach Hearn lived up to his tradition ally fine standard. This year wartime difficulties will be greater, but you can be sure that if it is at all possible, Coach Hearn will field another win ning baseball club.

In the first two encounters the highly spirited Tar Heel frosh rolled over Fairchild Gunners of Burlington and the Oak Ridge cadets by big scores, but were unable to overcome the High Point "Y" in the final test. Tar Heels Favored Coach Don Anderson's freshman crew were favored against the High Pointers, but the work of lanky George Nostrand, the tallest player in the tourney and a versatile mem ber of Coach Virgil Tow's High Point College Panthers, was too much for the local club. The High Point "Y" team started off by finding the range and hitting set shots right and left. At the end of the first half, the High Pointers were out front 36-22 in the high scor ing tussle. Anderson High Scorer Don Anderson led the scoring in the final fracas by racking up almost half of the Carolina " points. "Anderson scored 24 points.
