INDOOR TRACK MEET
The great day of the year
dawns as far as Tar Heel track
enthusiasts are concerned and
over 400 athletes, the largest
single gathering in the south,
are straining at the leash as
they wait for the opening gun
this afternoon. The occasion will
be the seventh annual southern
indoor track and field games to
be held in the Tin Can.
For many weeks Coach Bob
Fetzer, dean of southern track,
has been busier than the prover
bial "one-armed man with the
seven years itch" perfecting
plans for the gigantic indoor
carnival. The indoor meet, which
is Coach Bob's pet hobby, is cer
tain to reach unprecedented
heights in the track world as can
be seen by the record number of
crack athletes who have enter
ed the event.

Tar Heel's Big Show
Virginia has the conference
boxing tourney and Raleigh the
basketball tourney. The scene of
the . wrestling tourney is at
Washington and Lee while Duke
falls heir to the conference out
door track and swimming meets;
but the great event of the Tar
Heels is the indoor track show.
This is a just tribute to the man
who has possibly done more for
southern track than any other.
Coach Bob has been track
mentor here since 1922 and has
consistently turned out winning
teams for the Blue and White.
During his regime he has won
14 straight State championships
and Southern Conference indoor
and outdoor titles for the past
two years.
' It is the duty of every Caro
lina man to co-operate in making
this event the success it has been
ia the past and help the Uni
versity to play the perfect host
to the visiting athletes and the
capacity crowd that should in
vade the 'Tin Can this afternoon
and tonight.
