HOWE No Rowe. ; . The only athletic situation at present on the campus that is the least bit indefinite is the boxing situation. With the resig nation of Crayton Rowe as head coach, the Athletic Council is faced with the task of finding his successor. However, with Norment Quarles and Sam .Gid dens outstanding in the field of possible candidates and under the leadership of Maxie Novich, next year's boxing team ought to do the old University proud. Harry Again. Harry Wil liamson has got ten that urge again and will once more run against Chuck Hornbostel, Hoosier track flash, in a spe cial 1000 yd. race at the I. C. 4 A meet in Philadelphia this weekend. The race will feature the 60th anniversary of the annual track meet. Joe Man gan of Cornell was forced to send his regrets to race of ficials because of pressing exams. His place will be taken by Ernest Federoff, former Temple distance runner. ATHLETIC OFFICE DEMANDS RETURN OF AI1EQUIPAGE Director Fetzer Asks Students to Co-operate by Turning in all Equipment This Week Dare Devil Speedsters Will Compete In Indianapolis Auto Race Saturday Twenty-eight . Drivers Entered In 500-mile Competition Over Famous Course Grant or Allison?. ... The Bitsy Grant argument reallv comes to a head tomor row with the appointment of one of the Davis Cup team's singles representatives for the match be tween the United States ana Australia in Philadelphia. Though Don Budge seems to have ons of the singles spots al sewed up, the choice for the other lies between Bitsy and Wilmer Allison. The Australian lads have looked good in practice and will offer no mean opposi tion. Though we would like, to see our native son get the appointment, common sense points out that Allison is a bit steadier by virtue of his experience in Davis Cup tennis play. With the controversy comes out the story of Grant's match with Dr. McAuliffe in the Cres cent Athletic club's tournament on Long Island in 1932. The wee laddie labored through two los ing sets with a bad ankle and then settled down in the third and fourth to show the, good doctor that there was still some tar on his heels. In the all-important fifth set, Bitsy rushed through the games till he reached set point and then very calmly walked up to the net and defaulted, giving the match to McAuliffe. It seems that for his own pride he wanted to win the match and settling that point, he defaulted to McAuliffe so that worthy miVht fro into the next day's round, Bitsy's bad ankle spoil ing his chance to compete fur ther. With the closing of school, the athletic department is making an attempt to round up all its equipment now in the hands of students. Two notices have ap peared in the Daily Tar Heel with rather poor general re sponse, and so over 500 letters will be sent out tody to stu dents still in possession of equip ment. If the liberal allowance of equipment is to continue next year , every piece that has strayed or was borrowed from Sarge" Kellar must be re turned this week, according to Director Bob Fetzer. -"Sarge" has promised to keep the store room open from 9 to 12 o'clock in the morning and from 1 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon to re ceive all equipment. Inventory After all the equipment is re turned, an inventory will be made. Dirty equipment will be washed, mended and put in shape for next year. Old and worn out equipment will be dis carded" and replaced with new equipment. However, before such a reconditioning of equip ment takes place every article must be accounted for. The following are some of the more important paragraphs of Coach Bob's letter explaining the movement to recover the equipment. "The athletic department has followed a liberal policy in re gard to the issuance of equip ment for all varsity and fresh man squads. We are always anxious to have as members of regularly organized squads dur ing the college year any students who will attend practice,-maintain a reasonable degree of training, take care of and return their equipment. Equipment Retained "In pursuance of this policy we have issued equipment to more than 700 members of var sity and freshman squads. Sev eral hundred of these men have ailed to measure up to the re quirements for maintaining membership on their respective squads but have retained their equipment for personal use. "Besides those who have been issued equipment, there are snmp students in -possession of equipment who acquired it by picking it up from the held, ocker rooms, dormitory rooms, the Tin Can or from fraternity houses. We are making a spe cial attempt to secure the re turn of this borrowed equip ment, and we are making appeal to you squad members to assist. "We shall appreciate your im mediate compliance in returning your equipment to the store room and in helping us rounu up that which has been ac quired unfairly.' By Fletcher W. Ferguson Twenty-eight racing dare-devils have already qualified for the annual Indianapolis 500-mile automobile classic, to be run Saturday afternoon over the fa mous 2 1-2 mile track. Only 33 are allowed to start, and officials indicated that the five remain ing places would be filled this afternoon. In order to qualify, the driv ers must successfully hurdle the 25-mile test run. The last four to qualify were Ray Pixley of Fullerton, Calif., Deacon Litz of Dubois, Pa., Roy Pointer of De troit, and Harry Macquinn of Indianapolis. Pixley headed the Monday's qualifiers with an average time of 116.73 miles per hour. For one lap, the Detroit driver turn ed in a speed of 117.44 miles per hour. Meyer in Trouble Louis Meyer of Huntington Park, Calif., the only two-time winner of the event, experienced considerable trouble with his car on practice runs, but thinks that a new motor block will remedy the situation. He has sent home for a new unit and will probably make his official trial this after noon. The race is an annual feature of the Memorial Day weekend, usually coming on that holiday Hardly a year escapes without tragedy wiping out the careers of one or more drivers. No more spectacular event from a spectator's viewpoint- dots the American sporting cal endar than this, as smashups blowouts, fires, and drive-offs combine to keep the onlookers "on edge." Particularly is this true for those who have seats on the curves of the track, for any moment they may see a car fail to make the turn and come shooting off the track di rectly at them. Entered again is "Wild Bill" Today's Tennis Card Carolina Belts A suitable remembrance of' your school. Buy one before, your departure. Someone is graduating whom you should remember. Send them a GIFT. A Ledbetter-Pickard Cummings, 1934 winner of the event. This mid-western driver is a big favorite with the fans. He throws caution to the winds and is always up with the lead ers at the finish. Hundreds of times he has miraculously es caped death, but seems to re gard it as just being "in the game Petillo Has Record KellyTetillo, who swept across the finish line first last year, holds the record for the classic. He completed the 500-mile grind in 4:42.22.71, averaging 106.240 miles per hour. Cummings' win ning time two years ago was 4: 46.05.20, for an average of 104. 863 miles per hour. Limitations are placed on the amount of gasoline used in the race, and only 25 quarts of oil are allowed each car, thus caus ing many to be eliminated be cause they have burned up too much gas or oil,, or because their cars have caught fire after their quota of oil was used up. One trait that these drivers have is that they never want to quit. Of course no one can blame them as a goodly purse awaits the winners, and a great deal of expense is involved in preparing for the race. "Products Competition" Not only is this event a com petition between drivers, but it is also a "products competition." The various gasoline and oil re finers, tire manufacturers etc., supply many; drivers with their products, hoping , that the latter will be successful and a good amount of t advertising may be obtained thereof. The race is undoubtedly the hardest test to which a car or its accessories could be put. A couple of years ago, one driver had the brilliant idea of using pneumatic cushions in the drivr er's and mechanic's seats be cause it would eliminate a great deal of shock.. However, after 300 miles or so, the terrific heat caused the cushions to collapse and the driver could not con tinue. Dormitory Champioashin Ruffin No. 1 vs. Manly No 1 Courts 1, 2, 3, 4, 6.

That which ; is , to be loved long must' be loved with reason rather than passion. Dr. Jonn son..., -. . . . .. By Bill Lindau There are those who believe that gymnasts are born not made ; but Dr. R. B. Lawson, di rector of Bynum says that this is( just so much sheep dip. Suc cessful performance m gymnas tics, the doctor states, depends on the development of co-ordination between the mind and the muscles. This development is brought about by constant prac tice. Work oh the" side-horse is per haps, the best medium for de velopment. Figures on the horse require fine control of the weight, besides speed and thought. - After the successful try for a - - 1 J monogram jvionaay, uymnasi Jesse Parker stated that his most worried moment came when he was to do the front roll to a" handstand on the mat. This figure is among the most diffi cult in the whole list. It requires timing, muscle, and balance. These factors occur in order as the figure is done. Dr. Lawson said that Parker is not the finished gymnast he would like to see. He lacks the polish and confidence of the ex pert, but these deficiencies can be eliminated through practice ; and if Jesse's own words are any indication, these deficiences will hex piim inn fori tTa intends to keep on with his gym work. Speaking of difficult stunts, the boys at Bynum were exceed ingly aroused after the showing of a sports "short" at the thea ter one night last quarter fea turing a couple of U. S. Olympic gymnastic champions. One of these daring young men did a horizontal handstand on a stanchion of a horizontal bar, and then proceeded to chin him self with disconcerting facility. Getting into the horizontal hand standwhich makes one' look like a flag at half mast in . a stiff breeze is hard enough; but chinning in this position is an animal of an entirely differ ent odor. Exhibition The first exhibition in ten years was run off Monday after noon, in conjunction with Jesse Parker's trial for the monogram. About 50 spectators appeared a small crowd ; but every one of them stayed till the last figure was completed. More of the same will be found between the lines of the basketball menu to be served in the Tin Can next winter. In these, a different piece of apparatus will be used for each game. The exhibitions will be run off between halves; the programs will be varied. Clown events also planned. , By Ray Simon "What's wrong with those Cleveland Indians?" has been a favorite question among base ball fans for the past few years. Annually the Indians appear to have a good chance to win the pennant, and yet when the time to cash in comes around, the In dians are found somewhere around fourth place. That seems to be the favorite roost of the men from Cleveland -fourth place. At present they are a little behind their usual position, but may come up in short time. .pourtn place, tnougn, is no spot for a team which has a logical chance for being at the top of the league. Barring one or two spots in the line-up the Indians have a pennant-possibility team. Pitchers Their mound staff is a strong one, just about on par with those of Detroit, New York, and Bos ton. The three H's, Harder, Hudlin, and Hildebrand, make up as good a trio as any in the league. The outfield, with the possible exception of Gleeson, is a pow erful one. Vosmick and Averill are sluggers of unquestionable ability. For the last few years they have been up among the se lect batters in the American league. The infield might be young as far as major league experience goes, but it has already made it self known as a erood one. In the . key position of shortstop Knick erbocker holds forth, a sensation as a rookie and keeping up the good work this year. Pytlak ' ' Pytlak, the catcher, might not be the most sensational in the world, but he knows his business and would be a firm pillar on any team. Thus, at a glance, the Indians appear to have the stuff neces sary for a team with pennant hopes. Yet, they are residing in fifth place in the standings. In such a case the blame is usually placed on the manager. The Cleveland front office, seems to have realized this, judging from the rumors coming from that city. To all appearances it seems that the face of Steve O'Neill will be missing in the In dian's dugout within the next couple of years if he doesn't pro duce the desired results. Band Concert The University Concert Band will leave this morning, to play at the annual Gallopade in Rocky Mount today. In addition to playing at the concert the band will participate in a . gala parade with bands from five other leading state colleges. There wrill be no campus con cert Sunday afternoon.
