With LEONARD LOBRED
Although their intercollegiate pro
gram for the school year is over,
many of Carolina's athletes will be
active jduring the summer in big-time
tournament competition.
Members of the track team already
are planning a big trip west which
will carry them through two national
meets. First on the schedule is the
National Collegiates to be held in
Los Angeles Coliseum the stadium
in which the 1932 Olympic Games
were held on June 16 and 17. Second
is the National AAU meet in Lin
coln, Nebraska, July 3 and 4.
The athletic department has made
application to the National Colle
giate Athletic association for ex
pense allotments and has made ten
tative entries for Bill Corpening,
Bill Hendrix, Harry March, Jimmy
Davis, Tom Crockett and Royce
Jennings. Although it is expected
that only two or three will be given
expenses to the coast, those who do
make the trip will stop off on the
way home to try their skill in the
' AAU meet.
Last year Davis ran fifth in the
Collegiate mile which was won by
Louis Zamperini of Southern Califor
nia in 4:08.8. Davis ran 4:15 then and
later in the AAU meet he ran 3:58
to beat Leonard Spencer in the-metric
mile.
Having run sixth last year and
missed a cup by one place, Andy
Jones, leading two-miler last spring,
is rumored to be aiming at a 10-mile
marathon run in Washington, D. C,
July. 4. The event is the Takoma
Park marathon.
Although only in their first year
here, Carolina's swimmers are going
in for the big-time competition
during the summer. Fleming Stone,
who as a transfer student was in
eligible this season, will swim the
50-meter free style in the National
Junior . AAU meet at High "Point
July 28 and ; 29. Then . in August ,
Fleming, his brother Billy, and
Otho Ross and George Meyer will
com net e in the 1 Middle Atlantic
Outdoor championships in Char
lotte. Fleming Stone probably will
swim the 50 and 100-yard free style
races, Billy will swim the 220 and
440, Ross will swim, the 20D-yard
breaststroke and Meyer will swim
the 100 and 220.
Plenty of championship also should
be on deck for Carolina's tennis and
golf stars. Carl and Bill Rood, vet
erans of several Eastern net tourneys
last summer, can be expected to do
the same this year, and Charley
Rider, Bill Rawlings and Eddie Fuller
also should be fighting for tennis
crowns in various tournaments
Neal Herring and Hudson Boyd are
set for the Southern Amateur goii
tournament which will be held during
v. cummer and Paul Severin, three
sport man, is primed for the Pennsyl
vania Amateur tourney. Other meets
doubtless will attract several other
linksmen.
That's all for this year, but we'll
see you again next fall!

Review Shows Pitching Is Drag
On Hard-Hitting Diamondmen
By SHELLEY ROLFE
Bunn Hearn, bossman of the Tar
Heels, finished the 1939 season Monday
afternoon as his boys blew their third
straight game to Duke for the third
straight year as he had opened it last
March groaning over the lack of a
jjood strong-arm pitcher to help the
team over its many rough spots and
out of its varied holes.
Hearn, who has been around the
baseball scene, both professional and
college, long enough to tell the differ
ence between an average hurler and one
of the strong-armed genus, searched
in vain to find one good fireman, and
there is evidence to show, that had he
found one the chances are that Caro
lina might have taken at least two of
the Duke games and perhaps a few
! other battles that were graciously frit
tered away during the various stages
of the year.
As it was, the Tar Heels won 11, lost
seven and staggered through to a .612
average for the season in spite of the
Devil defeats and other collapses dur
ine the season. Given one gooa piicner
1 i 1 .
they might have taken at least five more
games. Hearn almost had that animal
last winter .in John Mirabito; a left
hander who can best be described as
a wow. But running afoul of a few
eligibility rules, Mirabito decided to
chuck college ball and try his luck with
the professionals.
HIT HARD
The Tar Heels hit hard enough and
enough spirited ball to bring joy to
the heart of any coach, finishing up
with a shade better than .300 team
average and with six of the eight re
gulars not including pitcher above the
.300 figure.
I Ipnnrp. . Nethercutt, co-captain and
catcher, led the batters for the second
straight season, hitting aw alter
smacking .440 last spring. Nethercutt
fell below the .500 mark after staying
above it all season in the final Duke
game, collecting only one hit. There
was never any doubt about Nethercutt,
he was the best catcher in college ball,
hitting hard, fielding his position well,
and getting the utmost out of the Caro
lina pitchers. George also led the team
in runs batted in with 20.
Mattv Tonkins, finishing strongly
after starting the season in.the rela
tively unrespectablev company of the
low .200's, was second batter with a
.387 stick figure. Other men above .300
were Hal Jennings, George Radman,
who alternated between the outfield
and the mound, Jim Mallory, Hal Bis
sett and George Stirnweiss.
TEAM TOPS
The team was way above the usual
. -f w?4rV are
college standard except iw Vi.u-
and anywhere else in the country ex
cept the Southern conference, where
i,o fcpet college baseball in the coun-
world-beater. The hurlers were good
college chunkers, but in Wake Forest
and Duke they were running up against
strictly unordinary college teams. The
Devils and Deacons pinned on five of
the seven Tar Heel defeats, Duke tak
ing three battles, Wake Forest two,
and Virginia and State one apiece.
Bud Hudson was the number one
pitcher on the team, winning seven and
losing two games. He was knocked out
twice both times he lost. Bud finish-
ed out his college career with. 15 vie-
tories and four losses in two seasons
as a starter. He mav not have been
the best college pitcher in the country, I
but when his underhand balls were un
der control he was master of all teams
He even tamed Duke and would have
won the first game except for the field
ing lapses of his mates.
DAVIS NO. 2
Sam Davis was number two chunker,
winning two and losing four. Davis
pitched in hard luck for two seasons
and in the usual biffing Tar Heels in
two straight games he lost made a
grand total of five runs and 11 hits.
Radman won two and lost one as a
pitcher.
The infield was one of the sharpest
in college baseball circles and probably
outdistanced the Duke inner works in
spite of the claims coming out of Blue

Two-Mile Record
With 9:35 Mark

ference two mile records as he ran this
distance in 9 minutes 35 seconds yes

.This time is better than the school
record of 9:38.1 set by Johnny Hender

though two watches corresponded at
the finish, his mark was not imme
diately accepted as a University and
field record. Crockett was paced in turn
by Wimpy Lewis, John Eddy, Jim
Earle, Dave Ricks and Mike Wise.

NET TEAM ELECTS
RIDER, RAWLINGS
1940 CO-GAPTAINS
Charley Rider, Malverne, N. Y., and
Bill Rawlings, Winston-Salem, were
elected co-captains of the Carolina 1940
tennis squad yesterday.
Both men will start their third year
of varsity tennis next year. Playing
in numbers 1, 2, and 3 doubles position
this season, they finished the year in
the No. 3 slot.
RIDER CHAMPION
Rider furnished the surprise of the
year when he copped the North-South
singles championship at Pinehurst in
the annual tournament in April. Be
fore the tournament he was playing No.
3 position, but after winning the in
dividual title, he was moved to the No.
1 slot.
Rawlings, a left-handed player, was
considered the most improved man this
season. He was undefeated oh the Nor
thern tour, on which the Tar Heels de
feated the members of the Ivy league,
Harvard, Princeton, and Yale.

IEET CONCLUDING
INTRAMURAL YEAR
BEGINS AT 3:30 '
By RICHARD MORRIS
Intramural track meets in both dor
mitory and fraternity leagues this af
ternoon on Fetzer field at 3:30 will
bring down the curtain on the most
successful intramural season in Caro
lina history. Fourteen field and track
events will take place in each meet.
In the semi-finals which were held
yesterday afternoon, Ashby of ATO
came within one-tenth of a second of
tying ah intramural record as he Tan -the
60 yard dash in 6.7 seconds. He
was closely followed by Hambright of
Kappa Sigma. LaLanne and Sumner '
of Kappa Sigma won the other two
heats in this event with 6.8, and from -all
indications this should be the best '
event of this afternoon. In the dormi
tory semi-finals of the same event
Southerland of Mangum broke the tape
in 6.88 seconds.
DILWORTH TO STAR
Ernest Illman, Lambda Chi Alpha,
who led the field in individual scoring
will be missing from this meet because
of participation in varsity track dur
ing the season. Beta Theta Pi's lead
ing trackster last season, Winkler, who
took first in both hurdle events will
also be missing from the tournament,
as will the speedy Cook and Jennings
of Lewis in the dormitory meet. Ben
Dilworth of Chi Psi looms as the star
of the afternoon as he has qualified
for six events. .
