Today's issue closes the first feminine
dynasty of the Tar Heel, as Kat Hill

midshipman school. Since that time
the Tar Heel has changed from a
-weekly news sheet, to a semi-weekly,
and has had four different managing
editors. , ,
Busy Life
"Katrinka" Hill has been dashing
after news and going to meetings and
rehearsals since she came to Carolina
in the fall of 1942, a transfer from
Greensboro College. Following the ex
ample of other New Bern journalists
she began her college extra-curricular
life by signing up with the Tar Heel.
From news stories, to features, col
umns and editorials, she worked her
way up.
This year, in addition to her' news
Paper work, Miss Hill has been active
in dramatics. In the Sound and Fury
show she played the part of a gum
chewing secretary. Recently the Play

Experiences Came Galore
For Adventurous Marine
Doug Horner Wounded by American
Buddy in Battle for Guadalcanal
By Richard, S. Bloch
"It was the spirit of adventure,"
Doug reflected, "I guess that's what
prompted me to join the Marines."
Douglas Horner of New Bern, N. C,
now a freshman at the University, cer
tainly received adventure if anybody
did. The story began back in the hec
tic days of 1940 when everyone felt
the tension of a mounting crisis but
were not yet embroiled in the conflict.
Doug left his studies here at the
University and traveled to Charleston,
S. C, where he enlisted in the United
States Marines in February of that
year.
After a few months training at Par
ris Island Doug was sent to Sea School
at Portsmouth, Va., where he shipped
out on the Cruiser "Vincennes." Fol
lowing a few trips up and down the
U. S. coast and to Cuba, Doug was
transferred to the Naval Operating
Base in Norfolk and then to Quantico,
Va., where he was assigned to the Fleet

V-5 Students
Get 3 Terms
By R. W. May
Chapel Hill's Navy trainees in the
V-12 program preparatory to becom
ing Navy flight officers, learned last
week that they will receive three
terms of college training in V-12 in
stead of the two that was previously
required.'
' The group which reported at the
Chapel Hill V-12 unit last November
will therefore remain here until next
November, instead of leaving July 1,
as was originally scheduled.
A Navy bulletin said that this was
due to a reduction in the future output
of the pilot training program, which
has also caused the closing of the
Navy CAA War Training Service
and the Naval Flight Preparatory Pro
grams. Students leaving the V-12
program for flight training on and af
ter next November 1, will immediate
ly enter the flight training program
at Pre-Flight schools, thus eliminat
ing the three months which previously
was spent at Naval Flight Prepara
tory schools. It is expected that the
extra semester of college work will
raise the standards of performance
and improve the quality of . our Naval
pilots. The educational standards
have thus been brought back to sub
stantially the same minimum level as
was required prior to April, 1942,
when two years of- accredited college
work was required for acceptance for
flight training as aviation cadets.

"I was put in Company H, 5th Regi

"Best outfit in the Marine Corps. The

of Belleau Woods during the last war,"
Doug paused, "I sure am proud of the
outfit."
Doug was thoroughly indoctrinated
into the techniques and experiences of
jungle warfare in his six months of
extensive training at New River, N. C.
May 18, 1942, five months after Pearl
Harbor, was a memorable day for
Doug. Little did he know what lay
ahead as the ship steamed out of the
Naval Base; at Norfolk,Va., bound for

Arch Rivals .Boast Strong Outfit
Of Potent Hurlers; Hard Hitters
' By Fred Flagler, Jr., Tar Heel Sports Editor
There will be a lot at stake here this afternoon when the Duke Blue Devil
baseball ers invade Emerson field at 3 o'clock to clash with the Carolina nine
for the first time this season in the Ration Loop contest that may decide
the leader of the four team circuit.
, All three of the top teams in the league have suffered one defeat while
State is trailing with five losses
though making improvement in 'the
last two weeks. Duke lost to Pre
Flight his week by a 4-3 score and
Carolina lost to Pre-Flight, but Pre
Flight was beaten earlier in the sea
son by the potent Blue Devils.
Carolina Weak
The Carolina nine looked a little
weak in .the game with State Monday,
managing to eke-out a win by a 6-5
count. If the Wolf pack crew continues
to play ball like they did' against the
Tar Heels they might upset the loop.
It will be a decided toss-up affair
today because both the Devils and the
Tar Heels have their weak points and
their strong points in almost equal
amounts. The Dukes probably have
the hurling advantage .-over' Carolina
and their hitting has been good, but
if Carolina can steer clear of field
ing errors along with the consistent
pitching of Crocker, who will probably
start, they ought to have a fairly even
chance with their arch-rival invaders.
Carolina had to push the game with
State this week into 11 frames before

Champion Woman Golfer Has
Phi Bete Key Among Trophies
Mrs. Page Won 1937
National Tournament
By Georgia Helen Webb
Armed with a collection of stream
lined compacts, cigarette trays plus
unusual attachments, metal match
boxes, gigantic cups and vases, salt
shakers, tumblers, flower vases, and
pitchers, Estelle Lawson Page turns
the average onlooker green at the golf
links which she commands.
Grinning as she trips over her pet
cat, "Pepper," whom she assures us
wants nothing more than the fish in the
fish bowl, Mrs. Page explains she was
forced to put all her trophies in one
room when it became embarrassing to
herd all her curious friends and ac
quaintances into the attic where she
kept her cups and scrapbooks.
Phi Bete
Born in East Orange, New York,
in 1908, Mrs. Page came to Chapel Hill
when her family moved here, and grad
uated from the University in three
years, absconding with a Phi Beta
Kappa key in the process. Incidentally,
she is the only( national women's golf
champ to have a Phi Bete key.
When Mrs. Page's father unexpect
edly became chairman of the greens
committee, the golfer swears neither
of them knew which end of the stick
to grab for. Practice makes perfect,

they could manage their win.. It is
either the fact that the Tar Heels
have slipped since their opening 24-1
win over the Wolfpack or the fact
that State has really done some work
in the last week in the way of im
provement. The Dukes suffered their first loss
this season when the Pre-Flighters
came from behind to win by a 4-3
score. Coach Jack Coombs used two
pitchers against the Navy Cadets, who
were determined to retaliate for the
defeat handed them by Duke in their
first meet.
Leading Hurlers
Talcott and Felton are the leading
hurlers for Duke, in fact they are on
top of the Ration League as far as
pitching the ole apple goes. Felton
was without loss up until the Pre
Flight tilt at which time he was on
the mound for the Duke crew. This
was his first loss.
Coach Hearn hopes that his team is
in ready shape for the big scrap today.

though, and our subject is one woman
who proved the point, chalking up a
record of seven wins in the Carolinas
tournaments, six victories in the North
South tournament, (including one a
couple of weeks ago), three triumphs
as runner-up in the Southern games,
and a rating as medalist in 1936, '37,
and '38, and co-medalist in 1939. All
the top-notchers succumbed to the vi
vacious Chapel Hillite in 1937, when
she stalked off the course the women's
national golfing champion. She was a
semi-finalist in 1941 in the national
tournament, which has been discon
tinued because of the war.
