BOTH TEAMS OPEN
SEASONS AT 3
By HARRY HOLUNGSWORTH
Having practiced only four days, the
Carolina freshman' baseball team
opens its 13-game schedule against
Wardlaw prep school of Plainfield, N.
J., this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Site
of the game will probably be Emerson
field instead of the' freshman dia
mond. Coaches Ham Strayhorn and Jim
Tatum have looked over some 75
frosh candidates in practice sessions
since Tuesday afternoon and have
weeded out a first team to start to
day's game. Selections have been made
on first impressions received in the
daily drills and neither of the coaches
jSs sure that the correct selections
have been made. Because of this the
freshmen will be shifted around a lot
in today's game.
Howard Hodges, who is. considered
one of the brightest end prospects the
school has had, will probably start
on the mound for the frosh. Hodges
is from Greenville where he played
high school football and baseball. He
will pitch only three innings, and Joe
Nelson, high scoring center from the
frosh basketball team, is slated to
follow Hodges on the mound. Com
ing from Daytona Beach, Fla., Nel
son is considered one of the best pros
pects on the freshman team. Erwinj
Mack, from Bronx, N. Y., will take
ovpr the hill after Nelson and will
probably finish the game. A tall,
slim man, Mack has shown much
promise in early practice drills.
Chick Evans or Bill Duke will com
plete the battery for the Tar Babies.
They and several other catching pros
pects will probably see some action
in today's game.
The yearling infield appears to be
the strongest part of the team with
Bill Hon an almost a fixture at third
base. Without a doubt the best look
ing man on the team, Honan is an
accomplished fielder and is nifty at
the plate. Johnny Hearn, son of var
sity Coach Bunn Hearn, is departing
from the pitching tradition of his fam
ily and is playing at shortstop. Like
Honan, he is almost immovable.
Tommy Oswald or Murphy Single-
tarv will eet the call at second. Both I
men have performed well in prac
tice and ifs a toss-up on who will
start the game. At first base the
coaches have found a problem, since
no capable first baseman reported for
the team. They have converted Bob
Saunders, a third baseman into a
first sacker and he will probably be
gin. Phil Lewis and Bill Neel should
also play.
Cam Roberts in right, George Paine
or Ed Barrier in center, and Wade
Snell or Bob Miller in left field com
plete the frosh starting team.
Wardlaw, which has almost the
eo-ma faTYi that encaeed the Tar
Babies last spring, has been in Chapel
Hill all week and the game is its
first of 'the season. The probable
lineup is Dernier, 3b; R. Barrett, lb;
J. Barrett, ss; Pawlick, c; Dexter, p;
Goddard, cf; Shuman, 2b; Loizeaux,
If; and McGee, rf.
Red Dawson Sees
Weak Tulane '11'
NEW ORLEANS, March 29 (UP)
Tulane, a powerhouse in the South
eastern conference but just a "fall guy"
for Texas schools, has begun spring
football training with high hopes for
the season and a dearth of the veter
ans who put the team among the 10
best in the nation last year.
Twelve of those men will be miss
ing this year, eleven through gradua

im because of scholastic difficulties.
Coach Lowell (Red) Dawson said
that the length of spring training 'de
pends upon the progress of the
squad." He originally had planned to
call the squad out in February, but
then changed his mind. He decided
that the boys who had participated

CHAPEL
Harvard Baseball Coach Fears
That Illness May Hurt Team
Flu Epidemic Put , .
Stars On Sidelines
Floyd Stahl of Harvard - has been
around the masterminding league long
enough to know that a good cry never
hurt anyone and so the Crimson leader
who brings his squad to Chapel Hill to
face Carolina Monday has not been
hesitant to declare with sorrowful
noises that it would surprise him no
end if he will be even able to field a
team to go against the Tar Heels.
It isn't that Stahl has had a dearth
of candidates. Far from that. The old
rah, rah spirit at Harvard still burns
as bright as ever and the fellows keep
turning out for the team. But it seems
that a flu epidemic has hit Cambridge,
Harvard and the Crimson baseball
team.
Letter-writers out of Cambridge
would have you believe that every time
Stahl looks up he discovers the boys
in the white coats trundling another
one of his manly athletes off to the
infirmary. It is all very discouraging.
Word from Harvard is that Stahl
doesn't know whom to play against
Carolina and the other foes on the
southern trip it seems that perhaps
there may not even be nine able-bodied
young merf at deah old Harvard.
If Stahl can get enough of his in
valids out of the beds and onto the
field, Harvard will have a pretty fair
ball club. The Crimson was tied for
first place in the. Eastern Intercolle
giate league last year. Only one key
man is missing from last year's club
first baseman Tony Lupien who signed
with the Red Sox after graduation and
finished the season hitting over .300

Olympic Games Believed Dead
By Veteran Coach Robertson
PHILADELPHIA, March 29 (UP)
The Olympic games are dead, in the
opinion of Lawson Robertson, four
times coach of America's track and
field forces in the international con
tests.
There probably will be international
games in the future, he feels, but "as
we knew them" the games are gone
and coming contests will consist al
most entirely of track and field events.
"Even if the war were to end to
morrow or in time to hold the 1944
Olympic games in Finland it would be
hopeless," the veteran University of
Pennsylvania mentor said.
"Would Poland want to compete
with Germany and Russia? Would
France and England care to compete
with Germany? Would Finland with
Russia? , - - i
RUSSIA IN 1936 CITED
"Remember Russia did not compete
in the 1936 games because they were
held in Germany. Well, it stands to
reason that there would be much bit
terness and that unpleasant events
would be bound to occur if you could
induce everyone to compete.
"No doubt there will be internation
al competitions again, but they will
in the main consist almost entirely of
track and field events.
"The Olympics as we knew them are
dead. And, in a way, I'm not sorry.
"I've always contended that bodily
contact sports should not be on the
Olympic roster. Too often the outcome ,

WINTER QUARTER
SPORTS AWARDS
ARE ANNOUNCED
Monograms were awarded to 48
varsity athletes for basketball, box
ing, swimming, wrestling and indoor

Bill Corpening, whose eligibility
lasted only through the Indoor games,
became the first Carolina athlete to
win four letters in one sport track.
He won letters in the spring of 1937,
'38 and '39. Track letters are usually
awarded on the basis of performances
in both winter and spring.

The officiating in various competitions
sometimes has been biased and at
other times strikingly poor. Facili

splendid manner."
LONG LINKED TO GAMES
Robertson competed in the games
m St. Louis, 1904; Athens, 1906, and
London, 1908, and feels that in none of
these was there harmony. He was
head coach of the American track
team for the games of 1924, 8, '30 and
'36.
The aging Scot also believes that no
emtihasis should be placed on team
supremacy during Olympic games.
"If a little country like Uhiie or
Portugal or Finland can produce out
standing distance runners or sprinters
let us look up to her for this achieve
ment and not bury her because she is
too small to have strength throughout

They will be sports for the sake of

TAR HEELS ARE
1939 CHATiIPIONS
GAINESVILLE, Fla March 28.
Carolina's Southern conference cham
pionship track team as well as lead
ers of the two big loops in the south
are ready for the second annual Flo
rida relays embracing five relays and
a slate of individual events.
The Tar Heels, favorites because
they walked off last spring with all
five first places and all of the cups
and medals that went with them, are
reportedly not as strong this time.
Sixteen Carolina stars made the trip
here, and four will go into the hur
dle, jump and weight events.
Two Southern conference cham
pions, Jim Davis, miler, and Tom
Crockett, two-miler, lead the Tar Heel
relay entries, and Royce Jennings,
Dave Morrison, Fred Hardy and' Har
ry March are among the experienced
men who will back them up. Norman
McLeod, sophomore standout, will try
his skill at the pole vault. Warren
Mengel is in the high hurdles and
broad jump, Pat Patterson goes into
the high jump, and Chuck Slagle is
entered in the shot put.
Davis and Morrison, members of
the Tar Heel team -that ran the third
fastest two-mile relay time recorded
in the Millrose games while winning
in 1939, are the mainstays of the two
mile team which this year is match
ed against a strong team from the
University of Maryland. Davis, Mor
rison and Crockett, and either John
ny French or Mike Wise will form
the Tar Heel-four.
Carolina's entry in the one mile
relay will be named from among Mor-
rison, March, Billy Groves, Ed Hoff-j
man and Phil Haigh. The 440-yard
relay will be March, Haigh, Groves
and Royce Jennings.
Carolina, besides taking the 440,
mile and two mile relays, also won
the sprint medley relay and the one
mile team race last year. The sprint
medley is a relay over a mile dis
tance, consisting of one quarter-mile
leg, two 220 legs, and a half-mile at
the finish. Jennings, Hoffman, March
and Davis will probably form Caro
lina's team.
The one mile team race, scored as
a cross country run, saw Davis and
Morrison placing one-two and Crock
ett sixth last year. Crockett, Hardy
and Jim Vawter are probable start
ers tomorrow.
The Carolina men here for the re
lays are Tom Crockett, Jim Davis,
Johnny French, Bill Groves, Phil
Haigh, Fred Hardy, Ed Hoffman,
Royce Jennings, Harry March, Nor
man McLeod, Warren Mengel, Dave
Morrison, Pat Patterson, Chuck Sla
gle, Jim Vawter and Mike Wise, and
Manager Tom Brafford and Perrin
Quarles, assistant.
'Amateur Tennis
Is Weak'-Tilden
PHILADELPHIA, March 29.
(UP) Amateur tennis has deterior
ated to such a degree that it is near
collapse, according to William (Big
Bill) Tilden, one of the all-time greats
of the court.
"Why, even the term (amateur
player) is a laugh," Tilden told the
Optimist club. "I could name 20
professionals playine now who are
more truly amteur than the present
crop of so-called amateurs.
"The game has deteriorated to such
an extent that the entire emphasis
is on winning. Most of these kids are
so scared of losing that they don't
play to win they play not to lose
And that makes for poor tennis.
''The same factor makes high rank
ing players use any subterfuge to pro
tect their reputations. In this day,
a player who wins a tournament
usually contracts a mythical injury
so he can lay off for two or three
weeks for fear he may lose the next
tourney. A champion in my day was
willing to meet all comers at any
time."
Tilden said an open tournament
for amateurs and professionals would
be good for the sport but that he
would not like to see it replace the
national amateur.

RAIN HALTS PLAY
BEFORE SINGL1
ARE COIflPLETED
By WILLIAM L. BEERMAN
Co-captains Rider and Rawlings
had trouble enough in winning from
underrated Colby opponents yester
day, but when the rains came Caro
lina had squeezed by with enough
points. to make the victory official
5-0.
None of the doubles matches was
finished. Action had just begun when
Chapel Hill's flood gates let go and
drenched all concerned before safe
shelter could be reached. Ham An
thony, No. 5 player, had spit two sets
with Frederick of the visiting team
before he floated away.
Charlie Rider, the No. 1 guy,
found Colby's diminutive Lord a
tough, robot-like swinger. Rider took
a long time in winning the first set,
6-4, and the second set was a drawn-
out affair at 6-2. Lord couldn't play
his own game against Charlie, but
returned the ball steadily with beau
tiful backhand shots.
t Long Bill Rawlings threw too many
oportunities. Captain Pinansky of
the Maine crew put up a fight that
sent the match slowly to Bill, 6-4,
4-6, 6-2. Rawlings messed up several
opportunities to kill the ball, but at
other times his perfect placements
had Pinansky exasperated thoroughly.
In the third singles, Walt Meserole
was less labored to win. He took
Chase in 6-0, 6-1 sets, not being push
ed to any great extent.
Zan Carver, bad knee and all, had
too much fire on the ball for Dyer.
Playing in the fourth spot, Carver
whipped his drives where Dyer wasn't
and won 6-3, 6-0.
Blair Rice, last man on the sin
gles ladder, took two love sets from
Pizzano, making the fifth Carolina
score and the match official.
Players and a handful of specta
tors were driven from the varsity
courts ' just after the doubles had
started. Water soaked up white
base lines and put the courts back
in the soggy shape they have been
accustomed to.
Rider's flashing serve was working
well, yet the match lasted too long. ,
Little Lord, even smaller than Char
lie, did Ws darndest to win a set,
but four games out of 10 in the first
were the closest he came to it. Rider
poked several returns into the net
and some of his placements dropped
outside by fractions of inches.
Red Rawlings fooled around a lit
tle, got caught flatfooted to loose the
second set, and then came back with
an offensive game that kept Pinan
sky's tongue dragging the ground.
The match, as did the one Tuesday
