SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1944 THE TAR HEEL PAGE THREE Open Iinformal Grid Drills MdMay I v mm a f 9 t I (mil ill TM' Maw For Steele Bormiior hdzups I jfii i r from I Clyde King is ably proving his worth with the Brooklyn Dodgers from his showing made in relief roles in the past week. In last Tuesday's contest against Cincinnati, the former Carolina hurling star faced the Red's batters for three and two-thirds innings and allowed only a single hit, while fanning two. In last Thursday night's tilt, King, a Goldsboro youth, relieved another Dodger rookie in the eighth frame and retired the side in order. Reports coming di rectly from Brooklyn show that "Lip- py" Leo Durocher is well pleased with his Tar Heel twirler and might give the ace a starting assignment soon. . Craven Turner, last year's football captain and now a PFC in the Marines, was a visitor on the campus this past week-end. Turner is now waiting to undergo an operation, so he will be able to finish his work in the Officers Train ing School. Craven suffered a broken leg while playing football last season, -and cut his play short before leaving for Parris Island. Second Lieut. Fred D. S tailings of Reidsville, a former Tar Heel football player, has been reported missing in action over France since June 14. Stal lings received his degree in 1942, and later entered the Army Air Force, and was co-pilot of a Flying Fortress sta tioned somewhere in England. Mark Harford, an all-state fullback star from Norfolk High school, has an- swered Coach Gene McEver's call for gridiron prospects and is expected to be a leading contender for a position on the squad this fall. Harford is a two semester freshman in the V-12 and had several football scholarships of fered him including William and Mary and Washington and Lee in Virginia. From the turnout to the first foot ball meeting, Coach McEver should have some outstanding gridders among his 145 man squad. Only a few are holdovers from last year's squad, while most of the group are new and trans fers from other colleges. With infor mal practice getting underway Mon day, the McEvers should have the large squad in good condition at the end of the five weeks training. Coach Gene McEver hit the nail on the head the other day when he predicted beforehand the exact number that was present at the football meeting- last Wednesday. His guess was 145 and when the cards were counted the totals were exactly alike.

The new comers are Bill Ward, of Raleigh, a good sprinter; and Jack Zimmerman, of Brooklyn, who was a high school sprint champion.

Softball will highlight the summer activities for the Navy and Marine trainees. All teams who wish to enter the champion ship play should elect a team manager and the manager must attend a meet ing Monday night in 304 Woollen gym at 7 o'clock to make plans for the tour nament. If a team does not send a representa tive to that meeting, they will not be able to enter a team in the play. At this meeting Walt James will explain all rules and other important questions will be answered to the new men now on the campus. The V-12 will also be able to par ticipate in swimming, tag football and in the tennis intramural program plus other minor sports. The slate for the other intramural activities will be an nounced at a later date. - Last semester a lot of interest was shown in the mural softball play and a large number of teams participated in it. The Commandoes, a strong Ma rine ten captured laurels after defeat ing a stubborn Med School team in the finals. at Store McCauley Boys Victim Of Wild ScoringJSpree Town All-Stars Beat Sigma Chi By Jerry Schwartz Climaxing the end of the second week of intramural play, Ted Haigler, Steele Dormitory's ace pitcher, unwound his second no-hitter of the younsr season. Pitching brilliant ball throughout the contest, Haigler struck out nine oppos ing batsmen, and allowed only two to reach base via the walk and error route. The game on Thursday itself was secondary to the pitching feat of Ted, but the final score was Steele 14, Mc auiey street .Boys, 0. scoring 2 runs in the first, five in the third, and. 3 in the sixth, the powerful Steele nine walked off with an easy win. On Tues day, the Steele men had defeated the 2-A Dodgers 9-2. In that contest Haig ler gave up only 4 hits. The, game was clinched in the sixth inning, when Steele pushed 3 counters across home plate. As a result, Steele is now tied for the top position in the league with the Town All-Stars. Sigma Chi Wins On Tuesday, the Town All-Stars went down to surprising defeat at the hands of Sigma Chi. The final count read 6-3. Scoring in pairs, ' Sigma Chi snatched the lead in the first and led from then on in. But on Thursday, the All-Stars trimmed the 2-A Dodgers 7-2. By virtue of this win, the Stars kept pace with Steele and are now tied for first. Their win over the Dodgers was mainly due to a 4 run burst in the first inning. Dodger errors in that inn ing greatly aided the winner's cause. Owen Hall buried the McCauley Boys by a score of 10-2. Owen scored 4 runs in the fourth, and three in the fifth, thereby sewing up the game Larry Probstein limited the losers to 3 hits, in chalking up his second straight wint But on Thursday it was an entirely different story. A revised Sigma Chi team that now has promise of being the dark horse of the league snowed the Owen team under by a score of 11-1. Handicapped by the presence of only 8 players, Owen Hall nevertheless scored first. Lone Tally Their lone tally was produced in the first frame. But Sigma Chi came to life in the third and punched across runs and followed this up by five runs in the sixth. The Owen outfield was held down by two players instead of the usual four. The defeat dropped Owen into a tie with Sigma Chi for third position in the standings. Steele Tied for Lead With each team now having com pleted two full rounds, the race shapes up as a fight between Steele and pos sibly the All-Stars. Sigma Chi and Owen Hall still have a chance to chal lenge the leaders, and inthe next few weeks the possible - winner may be clearly decided. Softball Standings Won Lost Pet.

As a chief specialist in athletics Lieut. Kaplan taught physical education courses in boxing, wrestling and judo fighting. Popular with the men in the unit he first came to Carolina in June ? to make preparations for the incom ing V-12 reservists. His classes proved interesting to the men who were eager to hear stories of boxing greats and famous wrestlers from a man who knew them personally. Better known as "Champ" since the time he was holder of the Eastern In tercollegiate Boxing championship title for 1933 and 1934 at the Univer sity of Western Maryland, he was also All-American football player. Kaplan was chosen as American rep resentative in the wrestling and box ing units for the Olympic meets in Pal estine. Unfortunately he missed the luxury liner because of visa complica tions and reached his -destination too late to compete for the international title. However, he accompanied the other contestants through the balance of the European jaunt to the near East, through Italy and France. When Lieut. Kaplan returned from abroad, Joe Jacobs offered him a con tract to commence training for a pro fessional career as a boxer, but foot ball appeared more appealing, and he signed with the New York Giants pro football team. He has played with the Jersey City Giants, Philadelphia Eagles and the Wilmington Clippers. Some of his teammates during some eight seasons have included Ken Strong, Grenny Lansdel, Tuffy Leh'man, Ed Danowski, Mel Hein and the Singer Twins Lt. Milton Singer, Navy Pre Flight Officer in Chapel Hill until a few months ago. He has coached at St. John the Baptist in Philadelphia, and assisted at Carolina in football last season. Shortly after December 7, 1941, Lieut. Kaplan enlisted in the U. S. Navy and was sent to Physical Instructor School at Norfolk, directed by Lieut. Comdr. Gene Tunney. Kaplan made the rating of chief specialist in ath letics and his navy life began in ear nest. His first assignment was the naval air base in Daytona Beach, where he assisted in setting up an athletic pro gram and coached the boxing team. and Russell in the second round after both teams had advanced via a bye. Baity and Cash Win Baity and Cash defeated Probstein and Schwartz and then went on to top Kendrick and Lippard and thus reach the semi-finals. Both Gill and Carnival, and Black and Andrews advanced through byes and will now meet each oxner. The mixed doubles tournament has also advanced in the last week. Cow den and Gutmann defeated Kendrick and Robinson. They then took on Gill' and Hyde and came out victorious. The two wins place them in the semi-finals. Mullis and Parish advanced with a bye only to meet disaster at the hands of Mangun and Dickinson. Lippard and Foster took the deci sion over Andrews and Brewster and then defeated Murnick and . Wright which also placed them in the semi finals. James and McWane were de feated by Carnival and Hutchinson which placed the winners in the semi finals. The winners will now meet to decide the two combinations that will match ability in the finals next week. Sandwiches Candy PHARMACY Commissioned This duty was interrupted when the V-12 program opened, and after a week of indoctrination at Bainbridge, he came to Chapel Hill as a member of the athletic department for navy V-12's. Upon graduation from high school, Kaplan was offered a music scholarship from the Curtis Institute of Philadel phia, for he possesses a fine baritone voice and is also an outstanding vir tuoso of the harmonica. But instead he chose to attend Western Maryland where he could play football under the able utelage of famed Dick Harlow, who subsequently coached at Harvard University, and is now a lieutenant commander. An alumnus of the University of North Carolina, Kaplan has in his spare time been working toward his Master of Arts degree in Physical Edu cation. His wife, a student at the Uni versity, and child will remain in Chapel Hill.
