GUEST STAR
In the recent issue of the Sporting
News appeared the following article
concerning- Clyde "Fireball" King's
signing with the Dodgers. "King is
the latest to sign a Brooklyn contract.
Here is a kid who really came fast.
No more had the train from the Uni
versity of North Carolina disgorged
him at Penn Station, New York, than
he was whisked over to Ebbets Field
for a private workout. Three of the
Dodgers brass hats sat in judgment
of him Rickey, Manager Leo Du
rocher and Clyde Sukeforth, the for
mer catcher and now a Dodger scout,
in an otherwise empty park.
"The rookie (King) threw 40 pitches,
kerplunk in Sukeforth's big mit.
'That's enough!' pronounced Branch.
'Buy him a ticket for Philadelphia,
Leo.' And the boy made the trip to
Shibe Park with the ball club in com
pany with Durocher."
Clyde King, the versatile Goldsboro
youth, made what some people would
call the impossible and sports fans are
still talking about it. The feat was
his jump from college baseball to the
stardom of the big leagues, without
playing any other pro ball except at
Carolina. This was a big jump, but
the Brooklyn officials were so well sat
isfied with the Tar Heelian's trial that
they signed him on the same day he
hit Flatbush territory.
Walt James, director of intramurals,
and Dr." Powder have teamed up to
gether and will be seeded No. 1 in
the tennis tournament now underway.
The No. 1 spot for the singles has not
been decided as yet, but quite a few
racquet stars are bidding for the top
post. Heath, a young Chapel Hill ten
nis player, is expected to carry out a
stiff battle in the singles race, while
Rowe, Cash and Baity are also excel
lent racquet handlers.
"Women's intramural tennis tourna
ment got underway yesterday and
quite a large field turned out for the
event. The schedule that the players
will follow will be posted in the Wom
en's gym and each round is to be
played for two days before being for
feited. Miss Helen Hyde is directing
the tourney.

Lieut. Hewlett Is
Directing Events
A special tumbling and trampoline
exhibition, under the direction of Lieut.
Joe Hewlett, head of gym and tum
bling, will feature the Sports Program
Championships scheduled for Fetzer

Some 250 cadets from the 50th, 51st,
52nd and 53rd Battalions will compete

and track, all at the same time. The
Fre-Flight band will also be present

In wrestling the 53rd battalion will

52nd will compete against the 50th in
boxing. The 50 and 53rd will compete,
in swimming, and the 51st and 52nd

Bob Fetzer Has Long Service
As Coach and Athletic Head
expected to get underway pretty soon,
so mural managers should keep posted
with the intramural department as to
the date the program will begin. Dur
ing last quarter a lot of interest was
shown among the Navy men on the
campus of the softball tourney and
several teams are being arranged to
put a large group of participants ac
tive in intramurals.
- '
It seems that Carolina will not be the
only school short of football material
this fall, since the announcement has
come out of Duke that only two vet
erans will be back on Coach Cameron's
1944 squad. You can bet your boots
that something will turn up yet. And
too, don't be surprised if Carolina gets
a few star gridsters from the incom
ing V-12 group.
Frank Alspaugh, of Winston-Salem
and former head cheerleader here, has
just been commissioned a second lieu
tenant in the U. S. Marines afterhav-
ing completed his officer's training at
Quantico, Virginia.

Came to Carolina
In the Year 1921
Coach Bob Fetzer came to Carolina
in 1921 as director of athletics. When
he arrived he had with him three col
lege degrees and a reputation as one
of the best coaches of athletics in the
country. Beside all of these he had
very valuable experience gained at
Davidson, Clemson, N. C. State and
Woodberry Forest School, schools in
which he taught and also coached
athletics.
CoacbrBob, as he is popularly called,
embodies the finest attributes of coach,
gentleman, friend and scholar. His
record at Carolina speaks for itself.
Track teams coached by him here
have lost only three dual meets to Sou
thern conference teams in 20 years and
only ten to intersectional foes. Prob
ably the most striking feature of his
phenomenal record is the number of
championships won. Since 1921, Caro
lina's teams under Fetzer have won
ten indoor, ten outdoor, and 13 cross
country Southern Conference titles
and 17 State championships. For five
straight years immediately prior to
the war when the Southern Conference
Indoor Meet was held the Tar Heels
copped honors.
One of the dreams that Coach Bob
has cherished for many years, that of
ample facilities to enable every student
to participate in some form of sport,

With the Town All-Stars scoring a
2-1 upset over the strong Steele team,
the Stars took over undisputed leader

without a defeat thus far. All six
teams swing into action this week and
a stiff schedule has been mapped out.
Teams Tied
Four teams are tied for second with
one win and a loss, while Sigma Chi
hugs the cellar with two defeats. This

The Invitational swimming meet,
which was scheduled for Raleigh last
Friday night was postponed until to
morrow night and the Blue Dolphins
under the tutorage of Coach Willis
Casey will enter the meet as favorites.
The Dolphins have a few swimmers
back from last year's unbeaten squad
to form the nucleus for another good
team. The two returning lettermen are
Snooky Proctor and Ben Ward. Coach
Casey has a star in Bill Kelley, a Ma
rine V-12 student, who is pitted as one
of the best swimmers to hit this pool
in a lew years.
Snooky Proctor
Snooky Proctor is expected to enter
the 440 event, of which he is champ.
He is holder of the Carolina AAU rec
ord in this division and should make a
good showing in this distance event to
morrow night.
Ben Ward, high scorer in the Caro
lina AAU last year, is a sure bet to
repeat his.,1943 feat. Ward, a veteran
of two season's on the Blue Dolphins
squad, will enter the 50 and 200 free
style events.
Girls Division
In the girls' division, Prince Nufer,
Frances Kenney and Ethel Laughlin
will represent Carolina in the women's
events in the Raleigh meet.

during her years of swimming, she has
set numerous pool records in the back
stroke and is touted as one of the best
girl prospects in this section in years.
Tarboro Girls
Frances Kenney and Ethel Laughlin
are both from Tarboro and are excel
lent prospective girl swimmers. Ken
ney holds the AAU 400, 800 and 1500
meter championship, while Laughlin is
tne AAU 100 meter champ, and is a
leading contender in the 300 meter
medley. She is also a member of the
medley team that held the American
record.
Coach Casey is planning on carry
ing along the rest of his Blue Dolphin
squad which includes: Bill Pritchard,
Ira Abrahamson, Sam McCauley and
