CHAPEL HILL, N. C, SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1938

FIT
By Shelley Rolfe
Al Cornsweet, former All
American, Phi Beta Kappa, and
ex-International lacrosser, lean
ed up against a goal on intra
mural field six the other after
noon, gendered at his lacrosse
candidates, and said, "We ought
to have a pretty good team this
year."
His lacrosse team will get un
der way this afternoon out on
the coed hockey field when it
meets Duke in the first Dixie
league encounter in the history
of the budding league. The Dixie
league, formed to foster lacrosse
in the mid-south, like everything
else on the local lacrosse scene, is
a Maryland product. Dinty
Moore of Navy is the guiding
light of the circuit.
Five schools make up the
loop. In addition to Carolina
and Duke, members are Vir
ginia, American university,
and Washington and Lee. Re
ports up from South Carolina
indicate that perhaps South
Carolina, Furman and Clem
son would like to take up
the stick game. Some far
looking college sports writer
from the University of Mary
land, even sees the day when
lacrosse will be played on a
Southern conference basis.
Cornsweet was an Ail-Ameri
can lacrosse man at Brown. He
played at Oxford on the team
that won the International
championship. He's an instruc
tor in the psychology depart
ment at Carolina, and last year
he and his boys started playing
lacrosse out on the intramural
fields. This year, heartened by
the opening of the new gym, the
athletic council granted lacrosse
funds for the season.
That was the signal for the
Dixie league and a Carolina la
crosse schedule. The schedule
lists seven games, and Cornsweet
and all his boys expect an un
defeated season if they can get
by an experienced Virginia team.
I didn't know anything about
the game except that it was
mighty rough when I went
down to Cornsweet. He told
about the game, and . , this
seems to be the general idea
of lacrosse. It is pretty rough.
Nothing can keep a player
from creasing the brow of an
opposing player if the stick
handling is unintentional. If
it is intentional, and for the
life of me I can't see how any
body is going to tell the dif
ference, the player will get
himself shipped to the penalty
box for a period of from two
to five minutes, in which time
he is supposed to repent for
his sins and think of how to
De a good boy.
With a penalty box and a
nebbed six-by-six-foot goal, la
crosse resembles hockey. And
jU it should, for lacrosse like
ckey is a Canadian game. The
Canadian Indians started play-
the game, and the name of
'Indians" still hangs on lacrosse
teams.
Ten men make up a lacrosse
team. There are four attack
men, four defense men, a center,
and a goalie. Two thirty-minute
periods make up a game. Each
ore counts one point. The ob
ject of the game is to put a rub
b(ball through the goal.
Carolina will field a veteran

es, and he hopes next year

when all the members of the varsity
squaa, and Archie Henderson, Jr.,
start play in the annual North-South
tennis championship at Pinehurst.
Archie Henderson, semi-finalist for
the past two years, will bid strong
for the title honor this season. Hen
derson has been practicing on the
courts for more than two weeks, con
sistently, and appears ready to go.
It is believed that Gil Hall, last year's
titlist, will not compete in the tourna
ment next week, probably leaving the
field wide open for Henderson. It has
seemed that Hall just proved to be a
jinx over Henderson, stopping him
last year in the semi-finals and then

BVP CAPTURES
BOWLINGCROWN
Dorm Champions
Beat Law School
Duckpins flew in all directions yes
terday afternoon as a strong BVP
bowling team came through to defeat
Law School No. 1, 1144 to 1085. To
the winner, BVP, went the dormitory
bowling championship. This was the
hardest fought match of the entire
tourney and the victorious team was
forced to bowl with the greatest of
skill.
BVP jumped to a 78 point lead in
the first game by defeating Law
School No. 1, 432 to 354. It was this
big lead that enabled the BVP boys
to turn back a late Law School rally
and win the match. Andrews led the
victors in scoring in this match with
157 points. Next in line in scoring
was Harford of BVP with 144 points.
Ellis tallied 136 points to lead, the
losers. Other individual scores were
Skeen, BVP, 131; King, Law School,
121; and Boney of Law School, 97.
In the second game BVP again de
feated Law School, this time 365 to
358, and increased its lead 7 points.
These 7 points gave the victors an 85
point lead. Ellis of the losers again
tallied 136 points and led the scoring
for the game. He was closely followed
by King, of the same team, with 131
points. Harford with 128 points was
the high scorer for the victors. Other
individual scores were Skeen of BVP,
123; Andrews, BVP, 114; and Boney
of Law School with 91.
Law School rallied to take the final
match 373 to 347, but it was still far
behind the BVP boys in points for
the entire match. Boney of Law
School, broke his low bowling streak,
and came through to score 152 and
to lead the scorers for this game. He
was trailed by Harford, BVP, with
122 noints. Next in line in scoring
was Andrews, of the BVP team, with
117. Other personal, scores were Ellis,
Law School, 111; King, Law School,
110; and Skeen, BVP, 108.
High scorer for the entire match
was Harford of the champions with
394 points. He was trailed by a team
mate, Andrews with 388. High
scorer for the runner-ups and next
high in the match was Ellis with 383.
Fourth place in the scoring was a tie
between King of Law School and
Skeen of BVP, each man tallied 362
points. Boney, Law School, with 340
points was last in the score column.
The fraternity finals will be bowleg!
Monday afternoon with AE Pi meet
ing Sigma . Nu in this match. The
dormitory champions, BVP, will meet
the winner of this match Tuesday in
the campus finals.
The BVP ' team, - dormitory cham
pions, has a 399 bowiing average for
the tournament. As its average indi
cates this team has expert bowlers
and will give the fraternity cham
pions much trouble in the campus
finals Tuesday.

Philadelphia Game Off
Yesterday will go down on the
sports record books as Black Friday,
for every sports event for miles
around was washed out by the days
pelting rains.
In Chapel Hill, baseball, tennis, and
golf went by the boards, while over at
Duke, the home-coming baseball game
between the Duke men on the Phila
delphia Athletics and the Duke men
on the Blue Devils varsity was called
off.
Second Time
ine lar Heel Baseball nine was
ready to play Jim Tatum's Cornell
team, but two days of rain trans
formed Emerson field into the grand
canal. This was the second straight
year a Cornell game was rained out.
The Big Red have a game today, so
the 1938 Cornell-Carolina game is all
off. The next varsity ball game will
be with Wake Forest on Emerson
field Tuesday.
The tennis team was to conclude its
week of play with Yale, but the
matches had to be called off. This
afternoon the Kenfielders will battle
Elon at the courts in a match that
will start at 3 o'clock. The Christians
should not be any trouble to the Tar
Heels.
The golf team was supposed to play
State but Hope Valley was too wet
for any golf except that kind played
on the nineteenth hole.
An attempt will be made to play the
match with State either Monday or
Tuesday. The Carolina line-up will
be Kirven, Boyd, Diffendal, and Carr.
After State will come a match with
Pennsylvania Thursday.

As you might have gathered else

chance to play against Jim's old
coach and team, namely Bonn Hearn

played, as Cornell moves on to face

Two Tar Heels
Out Of Line-Up
With Injuries
Undefeated and crippled, the Tar
Heel fencing team leaves this morn
ing at 8 o'clock for Williamsburg
where it takes to the strips against
William and Mary tonight.
The Indians have also stayed in the
win column so far this season but
boast of many lopsided victories
while the Carolina swordsmen have
had a none-too-impressive season so
far.
Three injuries this past week took
as many first stringers out of the
fencing lineup, one of whom returned
yesterday and will probably fence to
night. Bernie Aleskovsky and Rich
ard Gips are both unable to compete
tonight, and possibly neither in the
Georgia Tech meet finale on the 23rd
here. Aleskovsky will make the trip,
on crutches, as an official during the
meet. Bill Kaplan, who received a
minor iijjury Thursday, is back in
condition and will fence epee with
Richard Freudenheim, alternate in
Aleskovsky's place.
Comparatively
Comparative scores give the invad
ing Tar Heels very little chance of
victory. William and Mary handed
VPI a 14-3 drubbing while the best
Carolina's fencers could do was a
10-7 defeat. The night before Mary
land was trimmed 13-11 by Carolina,
the Indians turned the Terps back
10-7. Presenting one of the finest
teams in the country and the leading
fencing aggregation in the South,
William and Mary is rated for an
easy victory tonight.
', Probably starting in the foil posi
tions for the Tar Heels, will be Cap
tain Allan Bloom, team mainstay, fol
lowed by David "Dutch" Malone who
has proved to be a valuable asset in
foil with the best record of any of
the Tar Heel foilsmen. James McCal
lum is slated to fence number three
foil with Joe Boak on the side if
needed.
Epee Prospects
For the first time this season, in
four starts, the Tar Heel epee weapon
will probably come out on the short
end of the score. Without Aleskovsky.

NEW GAME WILL j
BEGIN AT 2:30
RAIN OR SHINE
Coach Cornsweet
Introduces
Sport Here
By Mabty Kalkston
Today, rain or shine, will see the
long-awaited unveiling of the 1938,
as well, as the first, edition of the
Carolina lacrosse team as it goes to
"war" with the Duke "Indians" out
on the coed hockey field at 2:30 this
afternoon.
This is the first time in Carolina
history that a Tar Heel aggregation
will engage another institution in la-
crosse competition. The contest will
inaugurate a stiff seven-game sched
ule which will wind up with a return
engagement at Duke May 28.
Big Question
Not much can be said as to the-
probable outcome of the skirmish. The
Blue Devil "10" is definitely of un
known quantity. However, speculative
word from 'the Durham front has it
that the visiting outfit is reputed to ,.
be blessed with a stalwart, aggressive
offense but a none-too-robust defense.
How these reports will stack up in
actual combat is yet to be seen.
How the Tar Heel "nethandlers'
will fare in intercollegiate competi
tion will also be answered this after
noon. After three weeks of intensive
training, Carolina seems set for their
initial fray. The squad's last practice
yesterday afternoon was devoted to
the "ironing" out of defects in team
play, with emphasis being laid to the
attacking phase of the game around
the goalie's net. Broadfoot, Budden,
Sullivan, Finkel, Pearlman, and Kess
ler all participated in a snappy pass
and goal-shooting drill, and upon
their performances it looks like
Johnny Sullivan is the man to watch.
Spearhead Brilliant in his stick-handling and',
deft and accurate in his f iring-at-the-net,
Sullivan seems the spearhead of"
the Carolina attack. "Walt Budden is
the main cog on the Tar Heel back
line and is being depended upon to
bear the brunt of the Blue Devil at
tack around the Carolina net.
Today's Carolina-Duke game will
officially start the race for the Dixie
League title. Other league members
will be engaged in non-conference
tilts, Virginia meeting the strong -Dartmouth
