Net Squad Plays At Durham Today , T. SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1945 eel sports Mural Track Meet Starts On Monday PAGE THREE Co ach Kenfield I Leaves Carolina For Duration; alt James Takes Over W Coach Kenfield, who for the past 18 years has been varsity tennis coach at .Carolina and during this long reign has established one of the finest rec . ords ever posted by any coaclTin the nation, has left Carolina for the dura tion of the war. Kenfield left last Wednesday for Chicago, Illinois where he will act as tennis pro at the Lakeshore Country ; wuo, a position ne nas neid lor tne past 25 years. Succeeding Kenfield for the re mainder of the season will be Walter James, a tennis admirer and Ken- field's co-worker, in intramurals. Coach Bob Fetzer, athletic director reported that no official successor has as yet been appointed to replace Ken field. It was thought that Coach Ken field would return to Carolina after the war. Kenfield came to Carolina in 1928 as varsity tennis coach and golf coa,ch. Out of a total of 240 meets since that date, the Kenfield proteges have won 227, tied two and lost only 12 for. an almost unequalable record. TX " 1 i ' 1 i ne xurnea out unaeieatea teams m 1930, 1931, 1932, 1933, 1936, 1937, 1939, 1940 and 1941 and at one time during this amazing streak, Carolina captured 66 consecutive matches with out a single reverse. During his stay at Carolina, he has turned out four net stars that have achieved national fame, being ranked in the bracket with the ten best ama teur players in the country. They were Bitsy Grant, Wilmer Hines, Archie Henderson, Jr. and Victor Seixas. Hit hard for the past two seasons by the shortage of veteran racket handlers, Kenfield's teams have had rather poor records in comparison with his pre-war teams. This season's team, with two matches remaining on the schedule have won three while dropping four. ' v Coach Kenfield has been spending four months of each year in his du ties as a pro at Lakeshore ever since he came to Carolina. He made his home in Chicago before coming to Chapel Hill. It was a blow to see Coach Ken field leave us, but we are expecting him to. pay us a visit after the war, and resume his old position as mentor of Carolina's tennis teama job which he has done well thus far.

The match will start at 2:30. In the previous meeting on the home courts, the Tar Heels grabbed a 7-z decision irom tne uiue uevus. Since then the local netmen have sub dued Virginia and dropped a thriller to. the Carolina Pre-Flight.. .... .-. Today s match is expected to be a little tighter than the last engagement since the Dukesters will be battling on their home courts. Cliff Tuttle, the only veteran on the squad, has been selected captain of the squad by his teammates. Tuttle has run into some tough competition all season since playing at the number one post. " Coach James will probably use the following line-uo against the Blue Devils this afternoon. Playing in the singles matches will be Cliff Tuttle, Duke Wilder, Mac Davis, Ed Baity, Billy Weathers and Roy Rowe. In the doubles Tuttle and Weathers will com pose the No. one team, while Wilder and Davis go together to form the number two team. Don Anderson and Baity make out the third doubles team.

July 8 Camp Lejeune, here. Julv 11 Camp Butner at Camp Butner. By Irwin Smallwood In an effort to gain revenge and erase the full game cut off their Ra tion league lead last Wednesday, Coach Bunn Hearn's Tar Heel base ball crew will travel to the Bull City next Wednesday for the second of four games with the Duke Blue Devils. Either Chuck Hayne or Red Forrest will draw the starting mound assign ment for the locals. No lineup changes are anticipated at the present,, according to Coach Hearn, but some may be made before that all-important clash. If they are made, the changes will depend on per formances against Greensboro ORD yesterday afternoon and in practices Monday and Tuesday. No game ; is slated for today. It is uncertain who Coach Jack Coombs will pitch against the Tar Heels Wednesday, but it is a good guess that he may use Griff eth, called the one-man Duke hurling staff, again. Griff eth limited Carolint to. five bin gles last Wednesday. A total of 10 errors afield and a general "bad day" told the tale as the Blue Devils turned back the Tar Heels, 10-4, here on Emerson field in the first encounter, which would have been a tight pitching duel had it not been for the loose playing. Carolina's 'Chunking Chuck' Hayne pitched an exceptionally good and steady game throughput, except for a couple of incidents, striking out 11 Duke batsmen in going the route. Duke took good advantage of two Tar Heel bobbles, two walks and a wild pitch in the initial frame to score three times without a base hit, and af- Softball Play-offs Start On Wednesday Intramural softball finals will start on Wednesday afternoon fol lowing the completion of the mural track event and the play-offs will involve the- top two teams of each circuit.

Duke left but seven men on bases and committed two miscues afield in clinching the loop triumph. Carolina retaliated in the last of the first inning with a run when Red Hughes got on by a fielder's choice and Al Elger slammed out a mighty triple over- the left fielder's head. Zeke Zien tek was also on base before Elger's triple, but the Carolina third sacker was nipped off base. It was a case of three up and three down for Carolina in the next three stanzas, but in the fifth Bob Fahey went all the way to second on an er ror on the Duke third baseman v and scored a moment later as John Greg- m ' 1 .

Bob Fahey opened the eighth with a double, but the next three men went down in order, and in the ninth and final stanza Thompson and Zientek both got on with free passes with none out only to have Hughes pop up and Elger and Mullen to hit into force plays.
