atlp Car IRA SAEASOHN, Sporfi Editor CHAPEL HILL, N. C., SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1936 E HAH LIN AND RAY HOWE, Night Editor eel SCRAMBLES IN SPORTS By F. W. Ferguson Anti-Pessimism... At the outset of this year's baseball, season, many of the diamond 3 prognosticates were expressing the opinion that 1936 would see the Tar Heels back in the top; ranks of intercollegiate competition. However, after the Richmond and Georgetown games, quite a different expression of thought comes forth from the prognos ics. Some even hope for rain on the days that Duke is scheduled to be met. Nevertheless we are not quite so pessimistic and think that the Hearn-coached nine will enjoy a fairly successful season once they get going. The losses to Richmond and Georgetown we attribute strongly to lack of practice. Incidentally a few more pitchers wouldn't hurt. aselball3 Gd13 Anadl Track TeaEnis Ena AcKon Away Todlay HEARNMEN MEET DOAK'S BALL TEAM IN RALEIGH TODAY Varsity Nine Primes for Game With Big Five Rivals in Raleigh This Afternoon HUMPHRIES FACES FLYTHE Coach Bunn Hearn and 18 of NET TEAM WINS; D0WNSSTATE9-0 Kenfield Team Loses But One Set in Eighth Consecutive Win ; Play at Raleigh The varsity netters applied the brush once more yesterday after noon at Raleigh and whitewash ed State 9-0, for the eighth vie- GOLFERS WIN OVER DAVIDSON 13 TO 5; PLAY PURPLE NEXT Team Moves on to Greenville, S.

He sort of mumbled in the affirmative and then dashed out half blushing and half smiling. The anti-climax to the story is that after Maxie left the room, some of his pals started giving him a "build up" with Melton, and the tenor remarked that maybe he should get Novich's autograph. And Maxie went backv to ask him if he did. The answer , was still yes, but no signing tbolc place. Sweet Revenge? . . .

It was a tough game to lose. Up until the eighth inning, when he tired, Watson held the States- ters to six hits., Davis, his suc cessor, appeared to be doing equally as well. Suddenly State ashed out with a suddenness that was stupifying, scored four runs on three hits and won the ball game. Carolina started off well when Nethercutt drove in Topkins with a single in the first inning, In the second, Winborne singled, Gilliam walked, Stoopack walk ed, and Topkins drove the three of them in wjth a clean single to left field- -- - Green Enters Green relieved Harper on the mound for State; in .the third Before he could settle down Car olina scored another run when Watson drove in Braeme, run ning in the place of Gilliam who had been hit by the State pitch er. In the fifth State got to Wat son for three hits, scoring one run. In the seventh they scored two more when Lucey hit a home run to deep center, driving in Green before him. Came the" fatal ninth.

The varsity track team en rained at 9 o'clock last night for Charlottesville, Va., where they will meet the Virginia Cavaliers in their annual dual meet. Suffering the loss of'Cooner and Evins in the field events, the team is out to fight harder in the other events to more than make up for-the points which these two men usually garner for the team. The Cavaliers will be led by Captain Bob St. John, star mid dle distance runner. It will be the second meet of the current season for Virginia, having tri umphed over V. M. I. in their opening meet last Saturday. The Tar Heels have one on each side of the ledger with a loss to Dart mouth and a win over William and Mary. The men who will compete against Virginia tomorow are: Bannon, Bear, Barwick, Connell, Conte, Drake, Farmer, Finlay, Gammon, Gardiner, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Jones, Juliber, McDonald, Montgomery, Rosser, Rogers, Ullman, Um stead, Van Horn, Wrenn and Wakely. Frosh Meet Duke About 40 freshmen will leave Chapel Hill this afternoon at 1 o'clock, on their first venture in collegiate track, to meet the (Continued on last page) (Continued on last page) tain Red Drake and Johnny Far mer. The time for this even should be less than 50 seconds with all three men very close to gether. In the sprints Carolina will be strengthened with the appear ance of Fred Ullman who has been out with a pulled muscle Fred last year, was . the fresh men's star sprint man and should give Dodson and Smiley of the Virginia sprint team a fit as well as his own teammates, Jim Fin lay and Red Drake. In the two-mile event Fab Haywood and Andy Jones are expected to have little trouble. The man to watch in this event is Will Wakeley who has been coming along fine and should be ready, to turn in a swell race against all entries. If St. John should happen to run this event Wakeley will probably be shift ed to the mile. PoIe.Vaulters Virginia's best pole vaulter, Call, was not in competition last week but Carolina vaulters will still have to do better than they have in the last two weeks in order to win first, or even those all important second and third places. Another hotly contested event will be the high jump. Virgin (Continued on last page) Box Score STATE. Beverly, 3b Lucey, If. . Sandfoss, ss. Beam, rf. Santore, c. Hoyle, 2b. Wicker, cf.
