Runners Prepping For Opener With Georgia Tech Saturday Time trials will be the order of the day today and tomorrow for Coach Dane Ranson's track squad as the sea son opener track meet with Georgia Tech draws ever nearer. The. event is slated for Atlanta Saturday after noon. The trackmen turned out some 30 strong both Saturday and Sunday for week-end workouts in lieu of the meet with the strong Tech cinder crew. It will be one of the toughest meets of the season, for the Georgia lads have several of the champion ship men from last year's team. Squad Working Hard x Coach Ranson is working his squad hard this week, after getting his first real look at it in the practice meet with Pre-Flight last week. The prob lem this week will be finding the right men to fill the 18-man team antici pated for the Tech trip. Several of the boys showed up well in the meet with the Cloudbusters and are practi cally sure of the trip, but the majority of the team to tackle" the Engineers will have to be .chosen through the time trials today and tomorrow. It will be an increased burden on the track candidates this week, for by a wide margin, and with the addi tion of Bill Voris and several others, they should be pretty potent. Zeta Psi is never to be counted out of the running. They have a fair ball club with potential hitting strength but a slightly weak fielding team. Med School No. 1 has the players to be in the running, but they are at a disadvantage due to the lack of their students' time. Steele Dorm, the oth er team in A league, was outclassed so far in the year, but if Dave Sobel, Dick Twinning, and a few of their oth er sluggers can start hitting the ball consistently, they could , start rolling. Ferrell Potts is the team manager. Smith Marines Tops League B has a pretty even divi sion of strength among the top three teams. The Smith Marines have about the best set-up, at this time, with Sig ma Chi showing strength at times. Med School No. 2 can be counted on for .some stiff competition, and those three teams may go on beating each other all season. 4 ATO was hampered by the loss of According to a recent announcement by W. L. (Monk) Younger, athletic director of Virginia Tech, Gene Mc Ever, head coach at Carolina last year, will tutor the VPI backfield this season. McEver, who is a former star back from Tennessee, is on leave of absence from Davidson College, where he has been coach since 1932. He will as sist his brother, MacCauley McEver, acting head coach. Head Coach Jim my Kitts is on leave as an officer in the Navy. S. D. Tilson will continue -as line coach. The coaching staff of McEver, Mc Ever and (Tilson will begin work with the 17-year-olds who will enter col lege at the beginning of the summer quarter July 2 in preparation for the Gobblers' eight-game 1945 schedule. VPI was not represented in the 1943 or 1944 seasons and therefore will have no returning lettermen to build a team around.

Despite the loss of two of the team's first stringers, the Hearnmen jumped to an early lead in the opening stanza and coasted to an easy victory along with the aid of seven errors that proved the stumbling block for the Red Terrors. Allen Elger, hard slugging left fielder missed the opening tussle due to an injured arm, but will probably be back into the line-up when the Tar Heels invade Durham for a couple of tilts with the Roanoke outfit of the Piedmont League before journeying Hearn also lost his second baseman George Thompson who is ineligible. v After State had slipped across one tally in the opening frame, the Tar Heels came back in their half of the initial inning to grab the lead by scor ing four markers. Jack Brasington, filling in at second base, obtained the first of his three walks to start the. Approximately 20 men reported to Coach Willis Casey for spring practice ball rolling. Colonis was safe on an Monday at Bowman Gray pool. Casey was quite pleased with the turn-out error and both runners advanced on ana predicts a successful season ahead if all those eligible are able to be back, a miscue by the pitcher.

Jordan Lands Berth On Second Team In Helms All-American Jim Jordan, star forward on the University of North Carolina's Southern conference basketball championship team, has been hon ored with a second team berth on the All-American basketball team selected by the Helms Athletic Foundation, one of the leading au thorities on the sport. Jordan is 'the first University star to be honored by the Helms Foundation since George Glamack was selected on its first All-American team in 1940 and 1941, and was placed on its all-time All American team. This honor comes right on the heels of the Foy Roberson, Jr., Me morial Award, which was voted Jordan by teammates at a dinner given the conference champions at the Carolina Inn Thursday night. Phi Kappa Sigma Members Edge Out Pledges in Tilt The members of the Phi Kappa Sie-ma fraternity edged out the sideration. Sigma Nu has a good out field, and pretty good hitting, with a pretty well rounded but not exception al team. PiKA has a strong pitcher in Dick Adams, and one of the best catch ers in the league in Larry Herrera. With Tom Wicker, Lew Mendler, and Gene Wilhite leading the hitters, PiKA could field a strong contender. past week-end, because the Tar Heels handed the Commodores of Bain bridge their only loss when they de feated them for the Southern cham pionship at Tarboro last summer. On a basis of this, the team cer tainly deserves to be rated as one of the greatest the South has ever pro duced.

Cliff Tuttle is destined to be the num ber one racquet handler for the Tar Heels. Tuttle, who holds a discharge, played under Kenfield when Carolina sported some of the best tennis out fits in the country. Also Duke Wilder tias a tight grip on the second slot. Wilder advanced to the finals of the inter squad tourney but was beaten by Tuttle in three sets. Other tennis players scrapping for a position on the Carolina team are Mac Davis, Roy Rowe, Larry Prob stein, Ed Baity, Vernon Cartner, Duke Wilder and Johnny May.

Schoolboy Tourney Dates Are Revealed Delta By C.E.Mcintosh er's head. State managed to slip across anoth er run in the third on Wood's sharp single, followed by a base hit by Rich kus. Their final score came in the sixth when Wilson tripled into right and came home on a wild throw by the catcher. The Tar Heels added five runs in the fifth inning as Chappell pounded a double and Frazier sacrificed him to third. Andrew singled over third to score Chappell, Brasington was hand ed a free pass and Colonis was safe on an error by Gibson. Muellen's, re placing Elger in left, received a walk to load the bases. Brasington scored on a wild pitch and the other two run ners crossed the plate when Gregory singled. Two more runs were tallied in the eighth, on singles by Brasington and Fahey and an error, which put the game on ice for the Tar Heels. This setback gives State an even record in Ration League competition with one win and one loss. The Red Terrors previously downed the Pre Flight School.
