And three soft ball players in the same condition Spring tootball training was also rudely interrupted by the shower, and several of the candi dates hung around the front of the gym to see whether they would go practice or build a boat to get back to the dorms in. Coach Wolf drove up, joined Coaches Lange and Vaught on the steps. Pretty soon three or four football players in short pants and cleated shoes trotted in, smiling pleasantly at the dark clouds. Steve Maronic exhibited a head slightly 'the worse for wear on the back side. He fell off the top of a double deck bed. "Well," said the coach finally, no practice. Go on swimming or do what you want." They went. Wolf and Lange went to the shower room in Emerson sta dium. "We will play some golf they announced simultaneously.

He also earned a letter in football, finishing up a brilliant career as an end under Coach Ray Wolf in 1936. Jimmy Maus, former Piedmont league catcher and now manager of the Thomasville outfit, is depending on McCarn to hold down one of the regular outfield positions.

With but one blemish on its other wise spotless record, that coming in the last meet against William and Mary, the Carolina swordsmen have forged to the front ranks of southern intercollegiate fencing circles this past season. However, Saturday night the story may prove to be much different.

In a game marked by speeches of dedication for the new high school stadium and long and short bursts of rain, Carolina's Tar Heel nine this afternoon nosed out State 7-6 to advance to a first place tie in the Big Five with Wake Forest, which used the afternoon to beat Duke. Foy Grubb won the battle with a ninth inning single that tallied Hal isissett from third base to break a 6-6 deadlock and give Daffy Dave Parker his third pitching win of the season. Bissett opened the ninth with a long fly to left that State's Honey cutt dropped like watered stock, the field was so wet. Hal went to second on the misplay, and to third on a wild pitch by Allan Green of the Red Ter ror hurling staff, and was all ready to come in when Grubb unloaded a ground hit to right field with a count of two and one. Second Time It was the second time this spring that Carolina has downed btate m he last inning. Earlier in the season, Skipper Bunn Hearn's crew pulled the fat out of the fire with three runs in the ninth to win 6-5. Today's conquest was the seventh in eight times out for the Tar Heels. Carolina opened the game after a long period of opening day oratory as if it meant to blast State right out of the ball 'park. The Red Terrors refused to be blasted, but Mr. Vic Holsehouser, State's bright young man of the mound who beat Duke Saturday, was run out of the battle in the first inning after three Tar Heel scores had trickled across the plate.
