. Just This And That . .
The footballers get their first
real battle test today in the clash
with the unknown t Camp Lee
eleven. The Army squad is made
up of some good performers,
and unless the Tar Heels watch
their step they may find them
selves in hot water indeed. But
Coach Snavely and his crew
should bring home a win if noth
ing unexpected happens.
We were glad to see that Jack
Kirkland was chosen as head cheer
leader for the coming season. Jack
is working hard to build up his squad,
and the cheerleading team should be
in tip top shape for the collegiate
opener here next week-end. Don't
forget, it's our responsibility to give
the local grid lads all the support we
can muster, so be out there giving
your best for the Tar Heels.
We also get encouraging news that
the University band is coming along
fast. The membership has been in
creased considerably during the past
week or two, but according to re
ports, there is still a need for more
musicians. There is just one more
week left before the Tech game, so
if you can play an instrument anl
ar6 interested, by all means get in
touch with Director Earl Slocum in
Hill Music building the first of the
week.

one-game lead in the American loop,
but. even though things look hopeless,
Washington still has that one chance
of winning:. The Senators have four
games left, three after yesterday,
and the Tigers have six yet to play.
Says NROTC George Robertson,
rabid Sen fan who incidentally hails
from the capital city, "If Buddy
Lewis had just gotten back from the
service in time "to get in better
shape, things would have been a lot
different." We can't vouch for the
veracity of that, but one thing we
can say, had the Senators had a
little more hitting in the Detroit
series tney could nave cimcnea tne
pennant. We're still pulling for the
Senators, but it looks like they are
gone now . . . Carolina's Snuffy
Stirnweiss had three for four as the
Yankees beat Washington Thursday.
The former Tar Heel baseball man
hit a single, a double and a home

The Cardinals have pulled to with

'Fish Has Been Handy Man
Around Track For 24 Years
By Hardinge Menzies
"Fish," as he is called' by all the folks down at the track field house, has
been the general "handy man" around there for the past twenty-four years.
Dressed in an apron with a cap cocked on one. side of his head, a ish said
he had about worked around all the sports but had probably devoted most of
his time to track and cross country.
And although he keeps the field house

"the best in rubbin'." He learned his
tro Hp from Dr. Lawson and Coach
Quinlan and there are many boys to
day who rather have "Fish" to rub
them down than any trainer.
Fish is a native of Chapel Hill, and,

would rub down every day.
Concerning the present track and
cross country prospects, Fish said
"The track team looks well from what
we got around here . . . pretty good
cross country." Of course the war
took all the good boys away and now
the track team is building up again
from erround work. Old Fish seems
o
to like "all the sports" . . . and from
the experience he's had with so many
of them he ought to know the sports
field pretty well.
In the Fetzer field house, where
Fish is the general supervisor, there

and a complete first aid equipment

Everybody who has any connections

help influences the process of U.N.C.'s
track and cross country teams.
Sports Staff Meets
Monday Afternoon
There will be an important
meeting of the Tar Heel sports
staff in the Tar Heel office Monday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. It is re
quested that all former members
of the staff report at this time, and
it is also asked that any new boys
on the campus interested in writ
ing sports attend. Beats will be as

with Irwin Smallwood as soon as
-possible.
All ping pong champions of fra
ternities and dormitories must be de
cided by October 5 in order to enter
the intramural tourney, it has been
announced by Walt James, director
of mural activities. Winners are to be
obtained in both singles and doubles.
The tournament is now being
planned and these individual champs
from each frat or dorm will compete
for the title of the University champion.
It was also announced that the
horseshoe champion of the fraterni
ties and dorms should be decided by
the same date for the contest in that
sport to be held in the same way as
ping pong. Both singles and doubles
winners will be entered in the tour
nament.
James pointed out yesterday that
all fraternities and dormitories with
out facilities for the sports should
contact him immediately and he
would make arrangements for the
use of horseshoe pits or ping pong
tables of someone else.
Swimmers To Begin
Practices Monday
With 10 lettermen and six former
squadmen expected to report, Coach
Willis Casey will open his fall swim
ming practices Monday afternoon. In
addition two returning war veterans
who were members of the f rosh team
of 1941 will be back.
Bill Ward, who was a member of
the Blue Dolphin crew until he en
tered Pre-Flight school last June, may
be back with the Tar Heel swimmers
in November, according to Coach
Casey, who also stated yesterday that
other prospects' were in sight. Veter
ans of the 1941 team back are Ed Shu
mate and Alex Wilson.
The entire squad, varsity and Jay-
vee alike, is being taken on the trip,
and it will be the first real appear
ance of the Tar Heels under actual
game conditions this season. Accord
ing to the Camp Lee newspaper the
game will be witnessed by some 12,000
army onlookers in the enlarged stands
of the Camp football field. The game
is also slated to be broadcast over sta
tion CLEE in Petersburg.
This tilt is an official game, and
although Coach Snavely and his lads
will definitely be out to win it, the Tar
Heels will likely be working very hard
to get their offense and defense in the
best possible order in view of the col
legiate opener here in Kenan stadium
next Saturday with powerful Georgia
Tech. However, should the locals get
their minds too much on that Tech
game, things will be rough indeed, for ,
the Camp Lee eleven boasts some rug
ged players.
The lineup for Camp Lee includes
two men who formerly performed for
Brown university, one who played
with Notre Dame, one who played
with VMI, one who played with Ar
kansas, and several others of college
calibre. Standouts for the soldiers are
Paul Shu, All-Southern man from
VMI, who is at tailback, Bill Berta,
205-pound end from "Notre Dame, and
Jay Fidler, 220-pound tackle and ex
captain at Brown.
Carolina has a big job on its hands
today, that of getting keyed up to a
peak for one day against Camp Lee
and then again switching its thoughts
back to Georgia Tech immediately.
And to do this job, Coach Snavely has
tentatively picked a backfield of Bill
Voris, Bob Oliphant, Bill Walker and
Tom Gorman to start. However, two
more almost complete backfield will be
on hand and likely see a lot of action.
The line for the affair will see Max
Cooke and Chuck Ellison at the flank
positions, with a possible change to
Bob Cox in place of Cooke at the last
minute; Leon Szafaryn or Ted Hazel
wood and Stan Marczyk at the tackles ;
Ed Golding and Ed Twohey at the
guards; and Burl Bevers at center.
Coach Snavely is expected to send
his boys through a last minute drill
at Camp Lee today before the game,
the team having been there since last
night. The locals left Chapel Hill for
the Virginia city yesterday about
noon.
Several of the promising men on the
squad have been slowed up a little with
minor injuries during the past week
or so, but the only real casualty left
behind was Del Leatherman, a mono
gram guard who was hurt in practice
earlier in the week. Two other men
have been lost, though, because of a
new Marine rule against participation
in extracurricular activities until a
man has been in the unit one term. This
pair is Ed Mead, 200-pound first re
lief at end, and Ralph Widell, reserve
euard.
Nonetheless, the loss of Mead was'
