This may be a little repeti
tious of last week, but we would
like to take time out again to
toss orchids at the Blue Dolphin
swimmers, coaled so well by
undergraduate Willis Casey. The
Tar Heels , were lacking their
main punch from the start this
past wek, but they wouldn't say
die and subsequently walked off
with top honors again.
The scene of action this time was
High Point municipal pool, and the
oon test was the Carolinas AAU cham
pionships. The outlook was extremely
dark Saturday as the Dolphins em
barked for High Point, their fresh
man National titleholder, Dick Twin
ing, out due to illness and one of the
co-captains, Snooky Proctor, being a
doubtful swimmer due also to sick
ness. .
But the local tank crew fought
hard, doubling up in the events,, and
the result was an upset win by; the
girls over the famed Goldsboro las
sie team and a victory by the boys in
their circuit. Ben Ward, co-captain of
the Dolphins, paced the boys, captur
ing the National 50-meter Junior
Men's freestyle title as well as set
ting a National record in the event.
Probably the biggest vote of com
mendation of the day, however, should
go to the local girls Randy Hudson,
Frances Itinney and Ethel Laughliri.
This trio of Carolina girls fought
hard and consistently against a pow
erful Goldsboro girls crew and came
through in championship order with
an upset triumph. The climax of the
girls' competition came when the Tar
Heel trio combined "-after competi
tion all day to beat the vaunted
Goldsboro medley relay team and thus
cop the Women's championship, 59 to
56. :
It was a nice job, swimmers, and
we're, sure the whole campus joins us
in saying "well done." It kept Caro
lina's record up in the running as
probably the best in the nation, that
of one lone defeat in five years of
competition.
Football is beginning to come to
the front more and more these days.
We notice from a report of our good
friend Jack Horner in the Durham
Herald that the Duke Blue Devils got
down to work yesterday under their
head coach Eddie Camerdh ... The
Dukes will be building their team
around Bear Knotts and George Clark
this year, as their other stars of
Sugar Bowl fame last season Tom
Davis and Gordon Carver have since
left the region of Dukedom . . .
Speaking of Duke football, unless we
miss our guess, one Wallace (Lt. Col.)
Wade will be peering into the situa
tion a good bit from his postf Ath
letic Director . . . Add State and Wake
Forest to the list of schools in this
locality now drilling their gridders.

Four Unbeaten
Teams To Meet
During Week
Phi Gams, Delta Sig
Record Three Wins
Well into the third week of com
petition, the intramural softball tour
nament will be fighting this week to
make up for lost time caused by the
persistent rains of the' past fort
night.
Six teams in the four leagues still
boast unblemished records in tourna
ment competition, but it is expected
that this week's activity will diminish
the number of undefeated clubs. The
two games which should top the
week's contests, and two which will
assuredly knock off two of the un
beaten teams, are Tuesday's contest
between the Ringers and Leathernecks
on Alexander 1, and Wednesday's tilt
on Alexander 2, where the Delta Sigs
battle Phi Delta, Theta.
All four of these teams have yet to
lose a game, and thus far in the tour
nament, this quartet of clubs has
racked up a total of nine wins in
nine r games. Thursday's schedule
shows two top flight games on tap,
as unbeaten Med School takes on
once beaten Two Brews in League C,
on Intramural 1, and Phi Delta Theta,
another all-winning aggregation,
takes on Smith, with a 2-1 record,
in a battle for League B honors on
Intramural 4. '

ChuckHayne Hurls
Pre-Flight To Win
In what was probably his last per
formance of the season, former Caro
lina hurjer , Chuck Hayne scattered
nine hits to pitch the Pre-Flight base
ball team to a 6-4 victory over the Er
win Auditorium nine of Durham on
Emerson field here Sunday afternoon.
Hayne, who led the Tar Heels to the
Ration League championship back in
the spring, was touched for three runs
in the first three innings, but after
that held the opposition scoreless till
the ninth when the Durham lads man
aged to eke out another tally when Roy
JTalcott, third sacker for Duke univer
sity last spring, tripled and then
scored. Although giving up nine hits,
Hayne pitched good ball all the way,
four Pre-Flight errors having figured
iii the scoring in the first three frames.
Pre-Flight also tallied three times
in the first pair of stanzas, but added,
two in the sixth and one in the eighth
for the win. Ken Olsen, who has been
leading the Cloudbusters time and
again since reporting here a month
or two ago, led the locals at bat with
two home runs. He banged out the
round trippers in the sixth and eighth
innings, with no one on base each
time. Hayne also added some punch at
the bat, slamming out a timely triple.
Pre-Flight will officially end the 1945
season here Wednesday afternoon
when they tangle with the Maxton
Army Air base on Emerson field at 4
o'clock. "

Another week has flown by in the
majors, and Detroit still clings
tenaciously ahead of the American
League pack by a four-game mar
gin, while the Cubs remain on top
in the National by four and a half
games . . . Big news of the week
was the purchase of Big Hank
Borowy from the Yankees by the
Cubs, for an estimated cost of
$100,000 in players and cash. It
was not the purchase itself which
caused the big noise, but the after
math of prqtests by owners of
junior circuit clubs, who claim the
Yankees' Larry MacPhail pulled a
fast deal via the waiver route in
selling the former Fordham univer
sity flash. Biggest gripe came from
Washington's Clark Griffith, but
Hap Chandler, baseball's recently
appointed commissioner, says that
the transaction will stand. No mat
ter what the results, Borowy, who
boasts a 10-5 record with the
Yanks thus far this season, will
be a definite asset in the Cubs'
pennant drive . . . Red Ruffing, in

Ben Ward Breaks Record
To Lead Carolina To Win
Tar Heel Girls Pull Big Upset To Beat
Goldsboro Lassies For Women's Title
Coming out on top for the second straight week, Willis Casey's
Carolina swimming team captured both the Men's and Women's
championships in the Carolinas
Saturday and Sunday. The Dolphins were working without the
services of their freshman ace
the infirmary for a week.
The local girls' team, making a
valiant comeback after the meet at
Tarboro last week, turned back the
highly favored Goldsboro medley
relay team and win the team title,
59 points to 56. The boys over
whelmed the competition in their
bracket, walking away with 83 points
while the second place Camp Le
jeune team got only 37.
Ward Outstanding
Co-Captain Ben Ward was the
outstanding performer in the meet,
winning the Men's National Junior
50-meter free style race in 27.6 cs
onds, one tenth under the former
National record in this event. Manny
Alquist, captain of the Purdue uni
versity team last year, was second
with Mike Morrow, of Carolina
third.
Pressing Ward for top honors,
however, were the three Tar Heel
girl swimmers Ethel Laughlin,
Randy Hudson and Frances Kinney.
These three lassies won the only wo
man's National title of the meet,
the National Junior 150 meter med
ley relay, in the good time of
2:00.3, only 2.6 seconds over the
National record.
Girls Shine
The most spectacular thing,
though, about the girls was the fact
that they three in number de
feated the power-laden Goldsboro
girls squad for the North and South
Carolina championship. The Golds
boro crew was composed of nine
members, and boasted such Nation
ally known swimmers as Evelyn
Barbee and Peggy Pate. The local
girls refused to give up under the
odds, however, and Ethel Laughlin
won the individual medley and
back stroke, and Frances Kinney
swept the distance free styles to
pull the biggest upset in the history
of southern swimimng.
Randy Hudson was also outstand
ing for the locals, scoring a total of
13 points, and little Ann Umstead,
12-year-old Chapel Hill girl, swam
a leg on the free style relay in or
der that Carolina could have a com
plete team entered.
In addition to winning the Na
tional Junior 50 meter free style
race, Ward took the AAU district
championships in the 100 and 200 '
meter free styles and the 100-meter
breast stroke. He also won the open
100 meter free style and the 100
meter breast stroke, beating Pat
Hayes, intercollegiate record holder
from Michigan, in the latter event.
Proctor Swims
Snooky Proctor, the other co-captain
of the Blue Dolphins club who
was a doubtful starter until the last
minute due to illness, exceeded all
expectations by scoring a clean
sweep of the distance free style
In The Majors
his initial debut against the A's
last week, looked impressive in
holding Philadelphia scoreless for
six innings. Red tired in the sev
enth and was relieved by Al Gettel,
but the Yanks had piled up a safe
enough margin to insure the for
mer ace of the Yank mound corps
of his first victory of the '45 cam
paign . . . Buddy Lewis' return to
Washington's second-place outfit
may be the spark needed to pull
the runners up one more notch.
Lewis hit safely in his return to .
the lineup, and drove in a run with
a long fly in another trip to the
plate to give indication that his
term of service has not dimmed his
batting eye . . Dave Ferriss, the
hottest twirler in the majors,
finally was nicked for his third de
feat last Friday when the Sena
tors bunched four hits in the eighth
to score three runs an pocket the
victory by a 3-1 margin. This loss
brought Ferriss' record down to a
lowly 17-3 count . . . We often
wonder if it wouldn't be a nice ges
ture on the part of all the other

titles. He was triumphant in the
100, 800 and 1500-meter races. Bo
Jenkins, frosh star, won the 100
meter breast stroke crown and
teamed with Ward and Mike Mor
row to win the 300 meter med
ley relay. Jack Zimmerman,
NROTC cadet, won the servicemen's
backstroke championship and was
runnerup for high scoring honors.
John Lord and Ira Alrobson placed
third in the distance free style and
breast stroke titles, while Mike Mor
row showed that he is now ready to
join the now famous line of Tar Heel
tank greats by his fine work in the
sprints and free styles.
Coach Casey to put it mildly was
amazed at the results of his team
especially the girls under the cir
cumstances, and all he can say is
that "he still can't understand how
they did it."
Team scores are as follows:
Men Carolina, 83; Camp Le
jeune, 37; Cherry Point, 18; Char
lotte Y', 16; Lincoln Turner, Chi
cago, 6; High Point, 5; Camp Mac
kall, 2; Greensboro ORD, 2.
Women Carolina, 59; Goldsboro,
56; Cherry Point, 11; Knoxville,
Tenn., 10; Tarboro, 3.
This meet officially ended the
summer season for the Carolina
swimming lads, under the able
coaching of undergrad Casey, and it
kept Carolina's record intact with
only one defeat in five years of com
petition. It had been hoped that
some of the members of the Blue
Dolphins crew might journey to the
National meets in Ohio in August,
but the liklihood of this at the pres
ent is none too good. The Dolphins
will get back to work in the fall
when competitive swimming again
hits the limelight.
