Matches Arranged For Coed Tennis Team Tar ;; IBEeel Sports Tennis Schedule Lists Five-Game Slate lie SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1945 PAGE THREE CAROLINA CHATTER By CARROLL POPLIN Intramural softball got off to a flying start last Wednesday with a series of five games on docket for each day as a hot race is expected, for the campus championship. Coach Kenfield and Walter James are doing a splendid job m getting this tourney underway and it looks as if Carolina is in for one of the best intramural diamond programs on record. senting almost every fraternity and men's dorm on the campus and plenty of keen competition is in store before the tourney draws to a close some time in June. Smith Due Back Bill "Earthquake" Smith, stalwart lineman pn last year's football team, might be headed back to Carolina for another season of prepping on the v gridiron before he goes to West Point. Smith, who was only a freshman, re ceived the appointment last fall and was scheduled to go to the Academy this month, but the gridster will not be able to enter until 1946 . . . Doc Blanchard, former Carolina freshman grid sensation won the IC4A shot put championship by heaving the steel ball 48 feet and six inches . . . Blanchard made the All-American team last season while performing for the potent Army eleven and was regarded as one of the best players in the nation. Kelly Overlooked The men who picked the all-tournament team in the Piedmont Invita tional tourney, which the Carolina All-Stars won, surely missed the bucket by not naming . Al Kelly on the selected team. Kelly was high high scorer in the Class A division and paced the All-Stars to the tour ney crown. Al was definitely one of the best all-around players in the event, yet he was overlooked when it came around to the all-tournament team. Alexander Henry Carver III, one of Carolina's greatest tennis stars and now a major in the Army Air Corps, was a visitor on the campus this past; week. Zan, as he was known at , Carolina, was the Southern con ference tennis champ while playing under Coach kenfield and last year he was beaten in the quarter-finals of the national men's singles tournament by Pancho Segura . . . Carver has served in the South Atlantic theatre. Fritz Nagy, former Tar Heel fresh man eager, has been named on the Sporting News second team Ail- American basketball squad. Nagy is starring for Akron University and was among the leading scorers in the nation . . . Eddie Kahn, guard mate of George Barclay under 'Carl Snave- ly in '34, died recently of wounds re ceived during the invasion of Leyte . . . Rufus Pannell, one-armed soft- ball player for Delta Sig, clouted a home run during an intramural game Thursday against Med School No. 3. Ration Loop Play Opens On April 2 Two New Coaches Meet In Inaugural Two new coaches, both former pro fessional diamond stars, will clash in the inaugural game of the 1945 Ra tion League season at Raleigh on Eas ter Monday, April 2. The card calls for Carolina Pre-Flight to meet the Red Terrors of N. C. State in the open ing encounter. This will bring together the charges of Coach Wes Schulmerich of the Pre- Flight and Beattie Feathers of State. Schulmerich, a slugging fly-chaser, played in the majors with the Boston Braves, Phillies and Cincinnati Reds and starred for many seasons in the Pacific Coast and International lea gues. Feathers, likewise an outfielder, played in the Southern, Florida State and Southeastern- circuits: 'His last pro engagement being as manager of Kingsport in the Appalachian league. These two newcomers to the Ration Loop managerial ranks are successors to Glenn Killinger at Pre-Flight and Doc Newton at State. mI ' A 20h Century-Tbx Picture NOW PLAYING Tentative Net Schedule Has Five Matches Already Fixed Kenfield Starts Tourney To Name Players On Squad The 1945 edition of the Tar Heel tennis team will resume practice in high gear next week for their first match against William and Mary on April 14. Coach Kenfield has started a tournament with all squad members participating, in an effort to deter mine the top players for the team. The first twenty men will be seeded ac cording to their tournament play, and the boys will be paired off in various doubles combinations. Leading Prospects After the first full week of practice some of the boys who look promising for varsity material are Duke Wilder, Cliff Tuttle, Roy Rowe, Bud Sandlin, Larry Probstein, Johnny May, Vernon Cartner, and Art Stammler. However, no positions have been definitely de cided, and many boys are competing for the top positions. The Tar Heel courtment may play a practice match with the Pre-Flight racquet squad this afternoon, but nothing definite was known at press time. The tentative schedule includes matches with William and Mary, Vir ginia, Navy, Georgia Tech, and Duke. The boys are rounding into shape for the season, and with plenty of prac tice, and good weather the team should be all set by the first match. Softball Tourney Opens In Fast Pace Strong Teams Are Entered In Event The intramural softball race, which started last Wednesday, has had some hot games in the first week of play. The leaders in the intramural, race, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, and Pi Kappa Alpha, all fielded strong teams in the hope of taking the fra ternity cup. Strong Teams Some of the other leading contend ers for the softball championship are Phi Kappa Sigma, Vance Dorm, Pet tigrew, Zeta Psi, and Kappa Sig.' The intramural leagues promise some close - races and hard-fought battles before the close of the sea son, if the first week's play is any indication of coming events. A lively, inseam ball is being used this season, which means plenty of long power hits, and a snappy game all around. Teams will play about three games a week for the remainder of the regular season, after which a "Campus Series" of each league will compete for the 1945 softball title, and a chance at the fraternity cup. The softball league is a part of the spring sports schedule, which in cludes tennis, swimming, track, ping pong and other events. Patronize Tab Heel advertisers. 1 vvc r&&- WHO ESTABLISHED H.'MSELf?

Coach Willis Casey, varsity men or, is planning to take Ben Ward, Bill Ward, Jack Zimmerman, and Dick Twining for the men's events, and Prince Nufer for the women's. In this meet Ben Ward will swim in- the men's open 100-yard breast stroke; Twining will enter the men's open 100-yard freestyle; Zimmerman will swim in the service men's 100 yard breaststroke, and Bill Ward will enter the service men's 100-yard free style. Miss Nufer will take part in the women's 100-yard backstroke event. Ben Ward and Twining are civilian students, while . Zimmerman and Bill Ward are members of the University V-12 unit. This group has been working out daily for the past several weeks so as to be in top condition. There will be no team scores just individual competition in the various events. Ben Ward, a Goldsboro boy, was the hjgh individual scorer on the Tar Heel team this past winter, and is co captain elect of next year's club. In three years at Carolina he has lost only one sprint race, and that was to a Navy man as a freshman in 1943. Twining, who comes from Char lotte, came out for swimming for the first time in December, and at the Carolinas' AAU meet in February won the National Junior Champion ship in the 220-yard freestyle event. Zimmerman and Bill Ward, from Brooklyn; N. Y., and Raleigh, respec tively, are in their first year at the University. Miss Nufer, who comes from Golds boro, is one of the nation's leading girl backstroke stars, and is the win ner of three different National Junior Championships. The Goldsboro meet will be a tuneup 'for the National Championships scheduled for Chicago in April, which she plans to enter. pROM THE L EMININE ANGLE By Laura Parker Letters were received this week from William and Mary College and the Women Marines at Cherry Point ask ing to schedule tennis matches with our coeds. As yet Carolina does not have a girls' tennis team, but tryouts are being held today to find the best feminine talent our school possesses. Coach Kenfield will be on the upper clay courts this morning at 10 and this afternoon at 1:15 to help Miss Blanchette select the official women's tennis team of Carolina. Prospects look good for a fine team. In the Ten nis Club there are now fourteen ad vanced players, and much more talent is expected to come from the coeds at large. William and Mary wrshes to bring a girls' team to Chapel Hill on April 21 when their men's team journeys this way for a match with the Tar Heel netmen. Miss Blandhette plans to have a crack girls' team whipped into shape by then, and she also plans to take her team to Williamsburg for a return match. Carolina has accepted the invita tion of the Women Marines from Cherry Point to schedule two matches with them. The dates for these meets will be announced in the near future. "Coach" Blanchette urges all girls in terested in a position on the coed tennis team to be on the upper clay courts today at 10 a. m. or 1:15 p. m. for tryouts.

Another tilt may be played to morrow afternoon, but no definite an nouncement has been made. Pre-Flight nosed out the Tar II eels last Saturday by a 12-7 score, but the game today is expected to be much closer since the players on both teams have had a chance to polish up their play. As was the case last week, both coaches will more than likely use three or four pitchers and possibly two complete teams during the af fray. Approximately 40 boys are still working out every afternoon under the direction of Coach Bunn Ilearn, and it is hoped that through these practice encounters with Pre-Flight a winning combination will be picked. However, the final starting nine for the regular season probably will not be chosen till one or two Ration league tilts have been played. Both teams appeared fairly loose in their performance last Saturday, as it was their first start of the year, but with an additional week's drills behind them, the diamond lads should look much better today. Coach Hearn made one major switch in his lineup in practice last week, moving Cookie DiChiorra from his second base posi tion to catcher. ' In the tilt this afternoon eyes will be focused on Allen Elger, hard-hit-DiChiara from his second base posi ting left fielder who connected for three hits in four tries last week. Also, Gregory, first baseman, and Di Chiara, catcher, are expected to figure in the starring both at bat and in the field. Array Of Talent On Tap Tonight At Club's Opening The 24 Below Club will stage its New Spring Opening tonight in the basement of Graham Memorial from 9 till 12 o'clock.
