Football
Star Loses
First Round
Larry Parker, the outstanding
high school football player from
Charlottes Central High, was
eliminated from the Carolinas
Junior golf tournament in the
first round at the Greensboro
Country Club, Tuesday.
Parker entered the tournament
as defending champion. He won
last year, and if he had success
fully defended his title, he would
have become the fourth man in
history to win the crown twice.
Harvie Ward did it last, in 1941
and 1942. .
Parker was eliminated by Bill
Perry 6f Greenville, S. C, who
also won over his second round
opponent to become the tourna
ment favorite.
The 6T 184 lb. Parker en
rolled at Carolina for the sum
mer session in anticipation of a
football career. At Charlotte
Central last year Larry was the
No. 1 high school gridder in the
state and received scholarship of
fers from practically every school
in the country. Great things are
expected from him as a Tar Heel
fbotballer.
When asked which he preferred
football or golf, Larry said
hesitantly, "That's a hard ques
tion. Just the one that's in sea
son, I guess, but I'm ready for
football right now."
He was chauffered to the tour
ney by another guy who is quite
well known for his football ex
ploits at Carolina. Carolina fans
hope that Parker will help them
forget the loss of the Choo Choo.

Markham Gets Award
For Top Liar In Gym
Arthur Markham, Carolina's
vctrean rubdown artist, finally
achieved proper recognition last
week when he was presented the
Woollen Gymnasium Champion
Liar's Trophy for 1951 in a spe
cial ceremony.
, Markham, who has been with
the Tar Heels for 20 years and is
a native of Chapel Hill, was pre
sented the award duly ingraved
by Fitz Lutz, Tar Heel trainer
and John J. Keller, Jr., equip
ment manager.
Lutz, Keller and the "advisory
board" were unable to single out
any one story that earned the
award, but special favor was giv
en for his story of Red Johnson,
a Tar Heel back on the 1922 team.
When telling of the Johnson inci
dent, "Fish", compares him to
"Choo Choo" Justice, Carolina's
All-America. "Mr. Justice was
a great runner," "Fish" says, "but
he never did what Mr. Red John
son did up on Emerson Field one
Saturday afternoon."
"Fish" goes on to tell how
Johnson took the ball on an end
around and ran 465 yards with
out scoring a touchdown. Ac
cording to "Fish," Johnson start
ed on his own 15, ran to the six,
got hemmed in, reversed his field
and got trapped again. He kept
this up for 465 yards according
to the papers. But the remark
able thing as far as "Fish" is con
cerned, is that "he never did get
that ball across the goal."
Markham has quite a number
of stories to lay claim to his title.
He likes to tell about the time
Justice stood behind one goal on
Navy Field and kicked the ball
clear through the uprights at the
opposite end of the field, "110
yards on the fly," according to
"Fish."
"Fish" takes particular pride
in his story about the time Bill
Albans, Carolina's track star of
a year ago, did a 8.5 hundred. No
one was around at the time, so
Albans asked "Fish" to clock
him. "He was faster than most
folks gave him credit for," "Fish"
adds. There was also the time,
according to "Fish," that Jimmy
Davis i ran a ' four minute mile,
when Johnny Humphries threw
a baseball a measured mile, and
Charlie Farmer ran a nine se
cond hundred.
"Fish" Markham has quite a
few stories kicking around, and
although recognition was late in
Gasoline . .
Your DeSoto
comming, there is no doubt in
the minds of those who know him
that he deserves the honor.
