THUBSQAY. JULY-IS.
THE TAR. HETST.
Fifty-Yard Line
By Art Greenbaum -
; Kelso Majors Lacrosse
; Looks like Carolina's swimming team might get another shot in
the arm in the near future. Coach Dick Jamerson has been worried
over the vacancy at the diving position since the graduation of Norm
Sper and Jack Wichard. ' His troubles may be over, for if a transfer
from an Ohio college enters Carolina next Fall, the position will be
more than filled. Two weeks ago, students in the outdoor pool got a
glimpse of Joe Kelso going through his board program in Kessing
pool. Coach Don Draper also seemed interested in Kelso and gave
him a few pointers. The Tar Heel mermen could prove very
troublesome if this position, is capably filled.
With the American and National leagues past half way mark,
the leaders and pennant winners are still in doubt. In the junior
loop, Detroit holds the edge at present while New York and Cleve
land are right on their heels. The Yankees seem to be having
replacement frouble which means that the Indians with the aid of
rookies Al Rosen and Luke Easter may again bring the flag to
the Ohio city. In the senior circuit, five clubs are clawing at each
other. St. Louis, Philadephia, Brooklyn, Boston, and New (Lippy)
York are having a tight race which might not be decided until the
final week. We're hoping the subway boys don't win again.
The lacrosse team which made a definite improvement this past
season, will probably add another Yankee stick club to it's 1951
sked. Report say that MIT will make a sortie into the South to
meet the Tar Heels. Williams, Western Maryland, Virginia, Wash
ington College, VPI, VMI, Balitmore University, Washington and
Lee, and William and Mary complete the slate. The. MIT, date
may be set as the season's opener on May 26.
Football Haircuts
When you spy a Woollen Gym football flying through the air, on
Fetzer field during the afternoon, don't get upfrom your favorite
sun tan position. - Carl Snavely hasn't issued -a call , for Summer
practice. Besides being against the NCAA code, the Grey Fox
usually accomplishes what he wants during the Fall, Winter, and
Spring sessions. But if the sun is broiling you on both sides, you
might get up and view some of the talent that will grace the '50
squad; A few of the Tar Heel footballers are in summer school
and feel that a little pre-season workout might do them some good;
Especially when the Notre Dame game is the second contest. They
could be either Irv Holdash, Bob Gar.t, Fred Sherman or even Art
Weiner" who is probably working out for the All-Star game on
August 11.
The first hair cut that received publicity in Chapel Hill came
when little Ronnie Justice had his locks sheared. But now it seems
that the Indians have hit the Hill with their own brand. It's not
Cleveland, nor Hosea Rodgers, nor the lacrosse team, but specialist
... . i i i
in, the aerial football wars, Billy Hayes, we navem asitea mm
whv hut it could be that the Indians of William and Mary got
tevenge for the pass he tossed to Art Weiner at Williambsurg with
than an spennds to so to eive Carolina a zu-ii victory. j.eis
hope he uses it to scare a few of the opponents this Fall.
From All-Stars To Future Ones
Just over one month ago, two representatives of Carolina's
lacrosse members were featured on the South squad in the annual
North-South lacrosse contest. Coach Bill Darden was chosen as an
assistant choach while Grant Lynch, Blue and White defenseman.
was picked to represent the Rebel team at his regular post. Re
cently, Lynch was named to the second string on the All-South
squad.
i While grid seasons roll on, coach Carl Snavely is keeping his
scouts on the alert in order to find new prospects for his future
teams. He and several other mentors don't have, to look any farther
than Charlotte to find a better than average player. In fact, the
people from Charlotte will talk you blue in the face about him.
He's Larry Parker, sensational tailback from Central High. Parker
is big enough almost to make you think a little of Jack. Fitch,
former star at Carolina. Besides being great at the grid game, he
shoots in the low 70's in golf, plays well at first base Jn baseball,
and won many honors as a center on the basketball squad. He's
only a junior now, but in which direction is he headed?; j i
New Coaches Still Vacancies
Carolina's fashion plate swimming team is leaving very little
undone. Upon the announcement that coach Ralph Casey would
take a leave-of-absence for one year to get his doctorate at Columbia
Unwersity, the Athletic Department has engaged another young
coach to r'eplace him. Ervin Straub, formerly of Iowa who is now
completing work on his Masters' here in Chapel Hill, will aid m
the coaching of the varsity and freshmen next year. - Straub was a
member of Iowa's freestyle and medley relay teams. He became
very interested in coming to Carolina last year when the indoor
Nationals were held here. - .
' Although one position has been filled and another unofficially,
Athletic Director Bob Fetzer has not made any statement on the
vacant lacrosse job. Of course, careful consideration is the best
policy, but too long in waiting may hamper the team's chances
during the coming year. The new coach, whoever he may be,
might want to bring a few new players into the Tar Heel state.
We may not want another Everett Case, but the Bureau of Ad
missions is open only so long.
Thomas Leaves For ' Seattle
Enters AAU's; May Travel
To Japan For Exhibitions
Jim Thomas and coach Ralph Casey will depart from Chape
Hill on Saturday for Seattle, Wash., where the former will enter
the National Senior Outdoor AAUs scheduled for the 21st and 22nd
of July.
Casey stated that Thomas will
swim three events including the
110-meter backstroke, 200 free
style, and the 300 individual med
ley. The best men in each event
will make up a squad which will
travel to Japan in August for ex
hibition meets.
During the past few weeks,
Thomas has been on a record
breaking spree which saw ap
proximately 10 marks fall before
the splashing efforts of the Balti
more senior. Most of his stand
ards were set in outdoor Kessing
pool in long course backstroke
events. ,
... Both Casey and Dick Jamerson
feel that Thomas will have a bet
ter chance of making the exhibi
tion traveling team in either the
200 freestyle or the 300 individual
medley. They stated that most
of his competition will come from
Yale and some of the other out
standing teams, but that most of
the other swimmers will be con
centrating on longer distance
events.

Patty Tops
Seixas At
Wimbledon
Budge Patty of California ur
set the applecart as far as V;
Seixas was concerned. The sler. -der
smooth-stroking former Un -versity
of North Carolina temx ,
star was in the drivers seat .n ..
until Wednesday when fifth -
seeded Patty knocked hira froi..
the unbeaten ranks.
Although Seixas was not count -
ed on to even reach the semi
finals, he might have fared bett.v
against Patty, had he been able
to recuperate after his knock
down-drag out affair with En.
Sturgess of South Africa the da ...
before.
Seixas, who almost collapse !
during his victorious match wit ,
Sturgess, fought back valiant. ,
against Patty but lacked the pn.
vious zip in his service that he .1
won him four successive matcht
After beginning his foreign toi :
with relatively no success, Seix; ..
rose to great heights in his fir .
performance at Wimbledon. Tl
first two days saw him take inlj
camp a Swede and a Dutchnu .
with comparative ease.
The next day, he suffered
minor setback when he and Fre ..
Kovaleski of William and Mar,
were deteated in tneir aouDie,.
match. The following afternoon ,
Seixas came back with his fir. ,
big victory when he upset Jac.
Bromwich of Australia in f ou ,
sets. This marked the secon.
time that he had beaten the Au
stralian on his tour.
Next, he upset Sturgess. whe:
was picked to meet Alex Drobn :
in the finals. Neither reached th;
final round. The Seixas-Sturge?
match was probably the best c .
the tourney as thousands of f ar
crowded the court to witness th
spine-tingling action.
Sara To Dive
At High Point
Sara Wakefield, diving qufcen
at Carolina, will enter her biggest
tournament next month and at
present is a good bet "to capture
the women's one-meter event in
the outdoor National AAU's at
High Point on August 5.
Since beginning her brilliant
career on the springboard, Miss
Wakefield has run up quite an
impressive record. n her first
encounter with champions, Sara
did very well iri? t he "qualifying
round only to drop to sixth place
in the finals.
Soon after, she won the Nation
al Junior AAU low board champ
ionship and quickly followed this
with a triumph in the Florida
State meet. Her next accomplish
ment came in the Southeastern
Championships where she again
took first place.
Her latest victory came in the
Senior National Championships
where she annexed her fourth
successive big win Her greatest
competition in the meet at High
Point will probably come from
Miss Juno Stover who placed
second in the Olympics.
Coach Draper has put great
faith in Sara and expects her to
bring home the crown. Draper
stated that her ability to learn
quickly and her ballet dancing
'have been her greatest assets.
