There are 33 teams which represent
over 350 boys, in the intramural soft
ball contests. This reason should make
the program important to athletic of
ficials. There is a great deal of inter
est in these games on the part of the
teams, but we think that the athletic
department should meet this program
on a more equal basis.
It is nice to know that under war
time conditions some sort of sports
program is able to be carried out.
Credit should be given to Coach John
Kenfield and those assisting him for the
fine bill of fare in the way of intra
mural softball.
All this is very well, but hasn't the
athletic department enough money to
sufficiently finance this program. In
the first place, the balls which are be
ing used are not official outdoor soft
ball's. After one powerful hit, the
shape of the ball is no longer con
sistent. It has an outside seam which
is contrary to official softball league
rules.
Occasionally inthe play of softball
an extra base hit is scored. This pos
sibility does not seem likely with the
type of ball used at the present time.
The thing is so soft .that a player has
to have the power of Babe Ruth to get
it out of the infield.
Our apologies are offered if this type
ball is the only one available, but if it
is not, the athletic department is wast
ing money. If they continue to replace
these balls which can easily be worn
out in one afternoon, they will have
spent enough money to purchase a bet
ter type ball which would have lasted
longer.
We noticed one field yesterday. There
were pasteboard base markers which
could be easily moved with a slide of a
player. It would be a great help to the
game if these bases were improved.
Another traditional football game in
the big five pigskin competition has
been called off. This time it is N. C
State who is doing the breaking. State
College has notified Duke that the pro
posed 1944 Duke-State fray has been
cancelled. This is the third of the Big
Five games that have been cancelled
with Duke. First it was Davidson
which dropped out, then Wake Forest
followed in quick succession. With
State out, the Big Five gridiron meets
have suffered a great setback. The
Deacons and the Wildcats have also
cancelled their tilts with Carolina
There is only one consolation, perhaps
Wake Forest will resume its pigskin
relations with the Blue Devils and the
Tar Heels.
The Duke-Navy gridiron series has
been extended to six years. It was ori
ginally planned for Navy and the Blue
Devils to play three times, when the
series began last year. Now Duke has
games scheduled with Navy until 1948
Dwight Stuessy, assistant footbal
mentor under Carl Voyles at William
and Mary has revealed that he plans
to resign his position as soon as his
contract expires. Steussy was also
head basketball director of the Indians.
There is a blanket of mystery surround
ing Steussy's resignation as he re
vealed that he would not join Voyles
at Auburn and he refused to discuss
his plans for the future.

Coach Kenfield To Select
Top Seven Men Next Week
By Ira Rothbaum
Coach John Kenfield released a ten
tative tennis schedule for the forthcom
ing season today. Heading the list is
the traditional series with Duke, sup
plemented by matches with Georgia
Tech, Navy, and Virginia. The Cherry
Point marines, who are fielding a team
for the first time this year, have also
been scheduled for two matches.
Only two lettermen, Ray Morris and
Don Peck, are returning this year and
around them Kenfield will have to build
his team. Although 54 men, one of the
largest turnouts in recent years, have
answered. Coach's call for talent, there
is a dire shortage of varsity material.
Men of Promise
Bob Johnsen, Charles Hackney and
Harvey Jagoe, leftovers from last
year's jayvee squad, Watson Tebo and
Mac Watkins, V-12 trainees from Tu
lane, Roy Rowe, Larry Probstein, Don
Anderson, civilians, John Kendricks,
med student, and Al Matisse, N. L. Tay
lor, P. A. Smith, and Harry Wellford,
all V-12 boys, have shown the most
promise so far. Kenfield is holding an
elimination tournament to narrow down
the field. All of the above men, with
the exception of Anderson, who ex
tended Watkins 6-4 and 7-5, and Prob
stein who lost a heartbreaker to Smith
6-4 and 8-6, have passed through the
first two rounds without too much trou
ble. Coach Kenfield expects to have his
squad of seven men picked by Tuesday,
then he must quickly round them into
shape for the Georgia Tech match on
Saturday.
Morris and Peck are co-captains this
year and will probably hold down the
number 1 and 2 positions.
Bob Lawch, former Carolina student
and president of the Pi Lambda Phi
fraternity, is varsity manager for the
season. .

Football Star
From Ole Miss
Made Good Here
By Fred Flagler
Tar Heel Sports Editor
Barney Poole, outstanding football
end for the Carolina "eleven this past
season left the campus this week to
take a physical examination at West
Point.
A V-12 Marine trainee transferring
to Carolina from Ole Miss, Poole start
ed right in with Coach Tom Young
and came up to his previous standards
of stellar performing for Ole Miss.
Poole saw a great amount of action in
the football performances last season
and gained his letter in that sport.
Peculiar
The peculiar thing about Poole's
situation is the fact that he is a Marine
trainee who may transfer from the
Navy to the Army. One might think
that Poole would have gone to An
napolis, but he shifted to the Army
because he has a first appointment to
West Point.
While at Carolina, Poole added
another monogram. Though not such
Tar Heel Track
Not Up To Peace Time Par
By Ralph W. Parks, Jr.
Track prospects at Carolina may
not be up to peacetime par, but Coach
Dale Ranson has some promising boys
in most of the outdoor events.
Leading off with the dashes is the
dependable Ted Shultz, co-captain of
the 1944 Tar Heel squad, who tied
for first in the Southern Conference
100-yard dash last year. In indoor
track Shultz was equally hot, and
should continue to do his good work
in the dashes.
Robert G. Adams, of Morrisville,
Pa., is another good looking prospect
in the dashes. Adams attended Penn
ington Prep where he ran the 100
yard dash in 10.2, the 220 in 23, and
the quarter in 51.5. All of these tfmes
are good, and Coach Ranson expects
Adams to bolster the Tar Heels in
the sprint events.
Old-Timer
Another old-timer in the quarter
and the hurdles is George Belli, Tren
ton, N. J., who was a consistent run
ner in indoor track, and will prob
ably continue in the outdoor game.
Colin Byrd is another holdover from
the indoor track season. Byrd hails
from Kinston, and is a trackster of
note in the 220 and the 440.

Bainbridge Aces
Lead in A League
By Keith Hutson
Softball, starting but its second
week next Monday, has already start
ed the inter-dormitory and inter-fraternity
rivalries flaming anew.
Although it is too early to draw any
conclusions from the records or play
of the various teams, all four leagues
seem to be started on the way to a
tight pennant race.
In League A, the Bainbridge Aces
have two close games and a default to
their credit, and thus have taken an

POOLE
a spectacular basketball player as he
was a football performer, Poole earned
his letter on Coach Bill Lange's var
sity cage club. Poole played center
with the White Phantom cagers.
Another Monogram
Poole was all set to try for another
monogram at Carolina before he left
for West Point. In baseball drills,
Poole showed some promise as a catcher
for Coach Hearn's club. At Ole Miss,
Poole was an outstanding catcher.
Prospects
the sprints, are J. S. Ficklen, Jr.
Donald Nelson, and Robert E. Owen
Nelson is the most promising of this
group, having been a standout on the
indoor track squad. On paper, the
dash events for the Tar Heels look
remarkably good, with an ex-Confer
ence champion, oldtimers back from
the indoor team, and several promis
ing new transfers.
In the middle distances, Coach Ran
son can rely on the following men
Colin Byrd, Ted Haigler, Don Nel
son, Bynum M. Hunter, and George
Belli. All of these men look very
promising, with the majority of them
having -ack experinece here before
Hurdles
lne nurdles and again the name
of Ted Shultz leads the list. The
lanky co-captain placed second in the
low hurdles in the Southern Confer
ence meet last year, going over the
obstacles in eight seconds fiat, and
this year in the Indoor Meet he cop
ped this event, to add another feather
to his cap.
Another up-and-coming prospect in
the hurdles is Ben L. Hathaway who
comes from Salt Lake City, Utah
Coach Ranson plans to use George
Belli in this event also.
The distances are headed by three
undisputed lead. However, Old East
has come back from a weat start to
take the lead in team hitting and, to
gether with Hewes, is pressing them
for the top position.
In the second league, Daniels, cur
rently leading in both hits and won
lost records, is followed closely by
Old West. Both teams have won their
games by decisive margins.

Hearn's Squad
Battles Navy
In Tilt Today
Carolina's baseball squad will tan
gle with the Pre-Flight school in an
other pre-season practice contest this
afternoon at 2 o'clock, before they open
the diamond campaign with Camp But
ner here next Wednesday.
Today's game will mark the fourth
time the teams have met and the Tar
Heels hold a two to one edge over
the Navy Cadets. Coach Hearn's team
won the first tilt 15-0 and came back
to feke the next one by the score of
8-5. In last Sunday's battle the Pre
Flight nine caught on to a few' of
Carolina's southpaw hurlers and won
an 8-6 victory.
Rigid Drillls
Coach Hearn has been giving his
squad a series of rigid drills this past
week and has been stressing bunting,
along with hitting, and has been trying
to work out a top-notch infield for the
opening tilt just a few days away.
The only change likely to appear in
the infield will be the switch of Frank
Wideman to first and Bob Warren will
replace him at the hot comer slot.
This combination has been tried in daily
workouts, but nothing definite has been
decided on the change, the head rrfentor
asserted yesterday.
Pitching Staff
Coach Bill Fetzer has been working
with the pitchers in order to improve
their delivery and coached them on cor
rect mound-stance when trying to pick
a runner off first or third.
Either Claude Crocker, Clyde King
or Art Lowe will be called on to start
on the hill for Carolina and it is likely
that Hearn will alternate his hurlers
in today's game. "Red" Forrest will
also see action if the contest goes into
extra innings as the policy of the other
pep-up games thus far.
The probable starting line-up for the
practice game this afternoon will be:
Wideman, first base; DiChiara, second
base; Branch, shortstop; Warren, third
base; Walters, catcher, Black, Johnson,
Hoey and Gilliam outfielders.

McKenzie won the mile run in the

The two-mile event also looks good
with Jimmy Miller leading the list of
candidates. Miller took second place

But the tighest races seem to be
looming in Leagues C and D. Close
games have been the rule in the for
mer, and the team batting averages
show the fact that no team can run
away with the race. League D com
petition has pitted several strong
teams against one another, leaving
the cellar to a team having the low
est batting average on record.
