Southern football coaches:
Gentlemen':
Somebody is in a terrible position.
Here we've been having spring foot
ball practice these many years and in
all that time not one voiee, not even a
anall voice baying in the wilderness,
tniderstand, has been raised against
the (1) vicious or (2) commendable
situation.
In all that time no one has risen up
to declare publicly spring practice was
destroying the morale and morals of
the boys and driving them into the pool
parlours and fates worse than death.
And now suddenly out of nowhere a
lot of Southern coaches are beginning
to yelp about spring practice. They
say it is terrible and should be relegat
ed to Siberia, only everybody else is
doing it so you gotta fall in line or else
fall. You know, something like sub
sidization. Well, fellows, I guess you know your
ewn mind by now. Only if spring
football practice is as bad as you claim,
well, why not do away with it? If it
is prohibited by law, then there will
be no one to keep up with and all the
coaches can sit in their offices or go
oat and recruit during the long spring
afternoons.
Spring football may be as bad as is
claimed, and it may be a time when all
the good little football players get hurt
and are rendered unfit for regular
duty, but I imagine for every football
player hurt at least seven or eight
more develop in spring practice under
the constant tutelage of the coaching
staff. Spring practice is useful be
cause it gives the fellows coming up
from the freshman team plenty of op
portunity to learn varsity tricks before
the start of fall practiced
Football in the Southern conference
is all bound up as it is now with enough
rules and, red tape to tie up a number
of pretty Christmas bundles. Anyway
a proposal to do away with spring foot
ball was voiced at the last southern
conference meeting at Richmond when
all the better minds gathered around a
conference table, pulled their beard
and decided conference policy.
Spring football may be dreary but
you gotta develop the boys so they can
fill the stands the next fall. Spring

Fred Hardy Makes Comeback
With Win In Two Mile Run
re-
- By LEONARD LOBRED
Havine plueeed all spring to
gain his old winning stride in the mile,
Fred Hardy, the most unstoppable
hunk of determination seen around
these parts for many a year, came
through yesterday on Fetzer field,
dogging Lawrence Brett, a consistent
performer for Duke in both cross coun
try and track, for seven laps, passing
him on the bell lap, and pulling away
easily to win the two mile run. AH of
the Tar Heels seemed to be ready yes
terday as they piled up a total of 95 16
points in the Senior AAU competi
tion. Other team scores were Duke 38,
North Carolina state 17, Carolina
freshmen 10 13, Duke freshmen 8,
Lenoir Rhyne 4, Wake Forest 3, and
Guilford 2.
Hardy had little trouble, falling in
to line from the beginning with the
leaders. He stepped into the lead at
the mile mark, but dropped behind
Brett as the field be
gan to string out.
With Brett leading
at the end of seven
laps, both men began
their kick at the be-
ginning of the last
440 and it seemed as
if Hardy couldn't
overcome the five-
yard lead held by the HARDY
Blue Devil runner. Hardy passed Brett
on the last turn, however, and rode
home easily the winner. His time, 10
minutes 10.3 seconds, was fairly fast
considering the dampness of the track
and the cool breezes which swept across
the field.
As a sophomore Hardy ran second
to Bill Hendrix in the Southern con
ference cross country run, his time in
that race still standing as the third
fastest ever made by a Tar Heel har
rier. In the winter of 1937 Hardy ran
the second leg' on Carolina's two mile
relay team which won its first MiUrose
games crown. Last spring he did weU
in the mile until he pulled a muscle
in his ankle and chipped a bone. An
operation !o remove the bone was ne
cessary and Hardy was put out of ac
tion. He tried cross country again last
fall but was unable to run in his for
mer style. Hard indoor work and even
harder outdoor work this spring put
him in shape for several attempts at
the mile. Yesterday he tried the two
mile and had amazing results.
TAR HEELS TAKE ALL
The Carolina men took 12 first places
out of 18 events, the other firsts being
divided into two for Duke, two for the
Duke freshmen and two to unofficial en
tries. The Tar Heels more than
doubled' the score Duke made, and the
Tar Babies outscored the Duke frosh
for the third time this year.

HANDBALL ADDED
TO MURAL RANKS
Intramurals will add another branch
to its activities this week as hand
ball tournaments in both the dormi

the actual play gets underway this
week.
Handball is considered as a minor
sport and will be conducted on a team
tournament basis. Matches will be
similar to tennis except each match
will be composed of five men, two
doubles teams and one singles. Each
doubles and singles match will con
sist of two out of three 21 point
games.
TENNIS FINALS
Dormitory tennis will complete its
semi-final stages during the week as
Everett meets BVP and Law School
plays Med School. All four of these
teams are well balanced and are by
far the best teams in the league. The
fraternity tournament will conclude
its quarter-final round before the end
of the week, and here too all teams are

gles title. Then he teamed with Ful
ler in the doubles to be victorious over
brother Carlton Rood and Bil (Red)
Rawlings 6-3, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4.
MATCHES OUTDOORS
Despite the biting wind that swept
out of the northwest all afternoon and
occasional rain, the tournament, which
turned out to be an all-Carolina event
in the finals, was played on the out
door courts.
The brisk winds kept the players un
certain at times causing them to play
a more conservative game. Fuller who
plays a fast, close game was more
handicapped by the wind than the
others. Fuller had little trouble with
his style on the indoor courts where
the tourney was held Friday.
Fuller started off strong, taking the
