That Winning Spirit
A few days back, we got hold of several large sheets of
paper cpntaining what are known to the trade as "fillers."
These "fillers" are usually used to fill out columns or to serve
as miscellaneous information, however, there were several
in this particular collection that we thought might bare pass
ing on in full.
' About half a dozen of these fillers point up the fact that
in addition to the "Carolina Spirit," we also have a "winning
spirit" here in Tar Heelia. In fact, so much of a winning spirit
that Tar Heel teams have won more Southern Conference
championships than any other institutionmore than 100.

has produced quite a number outstanding national champions,
and sired teams that have taken their share of national
championships.
A Few of the Boys... And a Girl
Here are a few of the champions, most of whom are still
fresh in our memories for the outstanding performances they
gave There was Harvie Ward, national intercollegiate golf
champion in 1949; Sara Wakefield, National AAU platform
diving champion last year; worm tper, jr., wno, m auumuu
to being one heck of a fine cheerleader, was National AAU
platform diving champion three summers ago; Jimmy Thom
as, who recently graduated, won three National AAU champ
ionships; Jack Milne, NCAA cross country champion in 1947;
Ralston Legore, national javelin throw titleholder in 1934;
Bill Albans, who won the NCAA low hurdles crown in 1950;
and the Tar Heels' shuttle hurdle relay team, winner of the
"Championship of America" held at the Penn Relays in 1949
ana ivov. , , ,
That's an impressive record for 'any institution, and con
sider that all but one of these champions made their fine
record since 1947. To this aggregation of great stars we have
to add the names of two Tar Heel trackmen, Harry William
son and Chunk Simmons, who were members of U. S. Olympic
teams.
I Cheaper By The Dozen
Three basketball and nine football players have been se
lected to the mythical All-America teams while students at
Carolina, and the list of Tar Heel greats who almost made the
grade is beyond count. Hardwood aces George Glamack,
1940-41; Jim Jordan, 1946; and John (Hook) Dillon, 1946,
stand in Carolina's hall of fame along with gridiron standouts
Paul Severin, 1939-40; Ken Powell, 1949; Art Weiner, 1948-49;
Don Jackson, 1935; Andy Bershak, 1937; Steve Maronic, 1938;
George Barclay, 1934; Charlie (Choo Choo) Justice, 1948-49;
and Irvin (Huck) Holdash, 1950.
And let's not forget our tennis greats. A group that boasts
the names of such stars as Bitsy Grant, Wilmer Hines, Archie
Henderson, Zan Carver, Harris Everett and the current Davis
Cup ace Vic Sexias.
' Team Records Pretty Good
Tar Heel teams have given a good account of themselves
as one would expect from the record of over 100 Southern
Conference championships. The tennis team has been the
one that carried the Carolina Blue and White to its greatest
heights, by collecting a string of undefeated seasons from 1930
to 1941, with the exception of 1934-35 and 1938. Carolina
netmen compiled a new national record of 67 straight wins
which stood until 1949.
Carolina's basketball teams have gained their share of
titles. In 1924 the Tar Heels were national champions, and
in 1946 the team won the Eastern NCAA championship, and
lost to Oklahoma A&M in the National championship game,
43-40.
The rich years for the football team have been since the
war, during which time they have played in three post season
gamestwice in the Sugar Bowl and once in the Cotton Bowl.
But it was in 1892 that the Tar Heels were really tough. Com
piling a five-one record, the team made only one substitution
during the entire season.

Mixed Sports
ToBeOffered
Students
With summer school nearly
over, the thought faitherest from
the student's mind is the fall
quarter. But that's not the case
with the Intramural Department
whose duty it is to see that Mr.
Carolina Student gets a well
balanced education. Already
nlans have been released for the
i
fall quarter program.
This fall, the same sports as
last fall will offer organizational
points. These sports wiU bp taij
football, volleyball and wrest
ling. In addition to the "point"
sports, there will be th fencing,
badminton and dancing clubs,
golf and track.
This fall, special emphasis will
be placed on co-recreation, ac
cording to Walt Rabb, Intramural
director. If enough interest is
shown in the co-recreational
sports, leagues will be formed
as in the regular Mural sports.
This past year, attempts at co
recreational nights and mixed
sports proved very satisfactory.
In the mixed sports, the coeds
and men students are on the same
team, and slightly different rules
are observed. In baseball, for
example, men play first and third
and the outfield, while the girls
olav the other positions. In bas
ketball, the girls of the team stap
at one end of the court and play
under girls rules, while the men
stay at the other end using regu
lar rules.
It has been suggested that mix
ed cook-outs and outings be held,
and according to Rabb, these
functions are under consideration
and will be held if there is
enough interest.
The formation of organizational
teams will take place after the
first Intramural manager's meet
ine early in the quarter. Rabb
has asked that students be think
ing of the men they would like to
represent them as managers so
that these men will be selected
in time for the meeting. The
time of the meeting will be an

Star Goes
To Duke
Carolina's loss is Duke's gain,
pigskin-wise, of course. David
Niven, sensational tailback from
Wilmington, was refused admit
tance to Carolina because of aca
demic deficiencies, and according
a reports has enrolled at Duke.
Niven will be remembered for
his outstanding play in the recent
West.
Niven

scored one touchdown
up two more as he
sparked the East to a third period
comeback after a scoreless first
half. The West was leading, 7-0,
when Niven took the second half
kickoff deep into West territory,
scoring later after an exchange
of punts.
This transfer breaks Carolina's
near monopoly on the outstand
ing state backs, however, the Tar
Heel squad still boasts such stand
out freshmen as Connie Gravitte,
Sonny Ridenhour, and Larry
Parker.
