Me,
I (
Not wanting to break a precedent,
we take this opportunity to say good
bye, as has been the custom every
quarter for the past two years. It is
just a precautionary action, and more
than likely the intellectual demons
hereabouts, will see fit to pass upon
our mediocre scholastic ability ' and
permit reentrance in the fall.
The last nine months have been
just another year in Carolina ath
letics a pretty good year accord
ing to the records. Think back
through the thick fog of alcoholic
and otherwise pleasant week-ends
to the football season. Ray Wolf's
varsity won six games; only Tulane
and Duke found the amazing Tar
Heel team vulnerable. Wake For-"
est, State, NYU, Davidson, VPL,
and Virginia found the sophomoric
line and shifty backfield too hot to
handle, and the mighty Fordham
Rams were held scoreless in the
memorable contest at the Polo
Grounds in New York.
Steve Maronic, the big tackle, made
All-American. He and George Wat
son, Horace Palmer, Bob Adam, and
Jack Kraynick terminated their af
filiation with the team.
Walter Skidmore, a sick man,
guided his basketball squad to a fifty
fifty season of 10 games won and a
similar number lost. And as in 1937,
the quint was eliminated in the first
round of the conference tournament
at Raleigh, this time by Clemson. The
lads had to be satisfied with third
place in the Big Five, a position new
to them.
Chuck Quinlan, the rabbit-hunting
expert, trainer, and wrestling coach
for 13 years, saw his amateur
grunters take the state championship.
His freshman crew won its three
matches, . also getting Big Five
laurels.
The boxers licked only State and
Duke, but that was sufficient fjor
the state title. Gates Kimball, the
football player reputed to be a sen
sation in the ring, did not box but
is in line for the heavyweight job
next year. Billy Winstead won the
bantamweight crown in the tour
ney , at Columbia, and darkhorse
Carolina finished second to Mary
land in the scoring.
Dick Jamerson was imported from
somewhere in Ohio and the first
swimming team in University history
was organized. They had to get some
one to use the pool.
Mr. Kenfield's tennis- team was
most successful and remained un
beaten for the year. State honors went
to them and Bill Rood won -the
singles in the conference. The golfers,
a quiet bunch of fellows hardly known
to exist by the campus, had a bang
up season and lost only to Duke.
The baseball team also had games
this spring.
Wonderful was the performance of
Bob Fetzer's and Dale Ranson's
track team, which' climaxed the sea
son by sweeping the conference meet
over the week-end. Jimmy Davis, Bill
Hendrix, and Bill Corpening were
standouts in a field of stars.
So, one surmises, it wasn't such a
bad year, for Carolina sports. And
the ardent fan will rush to assure
you that next year will be better.
Even money can be gotten at any re
spectable betting shoppe that Caro
lina will beat Duke come November

Bad Hudson Pitcher
FiveTar HeelsPut Up Uniforms
To End College Ball Careers
By SHELLEY ROLFE
When the Tar Heels finished their
season Monday by blowing the third
straight game to Duke, five of the lads
who have done more than their share
of giving Carolina three seasons of
winning baseball teams hung up their
uniforms for the last time in college
baseball. Kissing the boys good-bye
for the season, Coach Bunn HearA bade
final, adieu to Co-captains Hal Bissett
and George Nethercutt, Frank Cox,
Bud Hudson and Sam Davis.
- Next spring when he sets about the
inevitable task of filling the gaps oc
casioned by graduation, Hearn will
have to find a catcher, two pitchers, a
first baseman and an outfielder to take
the places of the departed gentlemen.
And while it may be unfair to the de
parted seniors to say s, Hearn should
have little difilculty filling all of the
positions except catcher.
HARD TO REPLACE
It will not be easy to replace
Nethercutt. George hit over .300 his
sophomore year; banged .440 last
spring; and closed out his college
career with a mark around the .500
figure. He was the classiest defensive
man in captivity behind the bat in the
college circles, and when he gets his
diploma and is ready to step out into
professional baseball he will be able to
ask his own price and get it for
signing with a big league team. Two
men are in line for the catching job,
Elmer Sensenbach who sat on the bench
this spring after doing freshmen duty
last year and Red Benton who was one
of Ham Strayhorn's hurling big three
this season, but nevertheless is a bet
ter catcker than he is a pitcher.
Bissett leaves first base open for
either Ben Browning, reserve on the
varsitv. or Bo Reynolds who was hot
'stuff on the freshman team and hit
over .400. Being eft-handed, Reynolds
has a slight advantage over Browning.
Any number of outfielders are ready to
jump into Cox's place including Mike
Bobbitt, who was ineligible this spring,
George Radman, if Hearn has enough
pitching so he can be spared from
mound duty, and , Pete Carraway,
Hardy Thompson, Julian Miller and
Phil Moore up from the freshmen.
Hank Feimster and Lefty Cheshire,
two fellows who gave brilliant promises
of future greatness with the freshmen
this spring., should make up for the
loss of Hudson and Davis and then
some. Feimster has a swell fast ball,
and Cheshire, according to most ob
servers, has everything. And Hearn
will be able to call on Wash Turner and
Les Tomlinson, two rising juniors
whom he kept on the bench to absorb
experience all season. , Both have
plenty of stuff.

league scouts the Carolina team, in
gaining its eighth conquest of the
season, played the finest brand of
playground ball witnessed in , the
state this year. Doc Siewert took the
mound for the Carolina team and
completely baffled the State batters
as he twirled three-hit shutout ball.
Doc helped his own cause with a
smashing single in the fourth inning.
Every man on the victorious team
collected at least one hit, but Mullis,
Jamerson, Barclay, Allen and Dono
van were the big guns at the plate
with two hits each.
IN THE THIRD
Carolina's first two runs came 1 in
the third inning when Grubb reached
first base by forcing out Dunham,
who had singled, at second. Allen
then doubled and Donavan drove them
both across the plate with a single.
Siewert opened the second scoring
rally in the fourth inning by cracking
out a single. Strayhorn went out, but
Barclay scored Siewert and himself
by hitting one of the longest home
runs ever witnessed at State college.
Two more runs were accounted for in
the sixth 'when "Ham' Strayhorn,
after Siewert had gone out, smacked
a long double and scored on Jamer
son's single. Jamerson followed Stray
horn across the plate when Wolfe
connected for a single. In the sev
enth inning Carolina ended the scor
ing when Grubb and Donavan, who
had previously reached second and

Co-Captains For Next Year
GOLF IN REVIEW
SHOWS TRIUMPHS
By HARRY HOLLINGSWORTH
Doing last year's team one better,
which lost only two meets from an im
posing list of opponents Carolina's
golf team romped over nine teams for
victories this season, and was in turn
romped over by Duke in their dual
meet, by Duke and Davidson in the
state meet, arid by Duke in the Sou
thern Conference meet.
Duke beat the Tar Heel golfers at
every turn this season, and even in the
Southern tourney at Athens, Ga., in
mid-April Duke managed to slip by
the Heels to bring back nearly all the
team titles and most of the individual
trophies.
By LEONARD LOBRED
Jimmy Davis and Fred Hardy, both
distance runners, were elected co-captains
of the Carolina track team for
next year at the team's annual supper
at the Episcopal parish house.
Having run the half mile in high
school in Goldsboro, Davis set the fresh
man 880 record in his first year here.
He was shifted to the mile last year
as a sophomore and was successful im-
mediately. During last summer he de
feated Leonard Spencer in the "metric
mile" in the AAU meet at Buffalo, and
was timed in approximately 4:15.4 as
he took fifth in the National Collegiates
at Mineapolis. He was ranked ninth
best college miler in the country, be
ing the only Southern miler among the
ten ranked.
During the winter he went to the
Millrose games in New York for the
second straight year as a member of
