Maryland Takes Three Events
While Tar Heels Win Only One
On these seven men will probably rest the fo,rtunes of the Carolina baseball team this year. All through pre-season
practice it has been said pitching will make or break the club. Good pitching will make it outstanding, perhaps one
of the best in the country. The seven above are: front row: George Ralston, Cecil Wooten,Les Tomlihson. Second
row: George Radman, Red Benton, Lefty Cheshire, Fred Stallings. '

Harvard will not have to catch a
train tomorrow afternoon.
This will probably be very unfor
tunate for the gentlemen from Cam
bridge. It will mean they will prob
ably take a tremendous licking from
the Carolina baseball team at Emer
son field at 4 o'clock. It is believed
the Tar Heels are extremely sore
at all Northern teams, especially Ivy
league schools and more especially at
all clubs which have to catch trains.
Pennsylvania beat Carolina 9-8 last
Tuesday. The game broke up at
5:45 so the Quakers could get the
first train north out of Durham. It
was very fortunate they got out when
they did. It is generally believed that
had the game lasted another 15 min
utes, perhaps even another five, the
ground-keeping force would still be
looking for bits of anatomy from
maimed Penn pitchers.
The Tar Heel batters have been
practicing all week on ways and means
of getting the most distance against
all possible types of pitching. The
mound staff has been experimenting
with new and interesting ways of
throwing the ball, such as getting it
over the plate. It looks very bad
for Harvard.
Last year the Crimson went down
16-12 before Carolina. The score is
extremely misleading. Harvard scor-
!ed eight runs the ninth inning when
everyone was convinced the game was
over and it was time to be hospitable
and charitable to the visitors.
The Penn loss, in addition to caus
ing much loss of .pride hereabouts,
evened the Carolina season record at
one and one. The boys beat Mary
land 8-7 in 11 innings last Saturday.
George Kadman, fwno
innings against the Terps, will get
the pitching assignment against
Crimson. George, winner of two

"The Candy King
By HARRY HOLLINGSWORTH
The hard downpour of rain yester
day morning just before noon caused
the scheduled baseball game between
Carolina's Tar Babies and the prep
school lads from Wardlaw to be called
off, and the Wardlaw team left town,
discouraged and disgruntled about the
"Sunny South," which was just re-covering-f
rom a snow when it arrived
in Chapel Hill and which was in the
act of being drowned when it departed.
The unwanted rain, as far as base
ball circles were concerned, not only
caused the first yearling game to be
called off, but also resulted in the
majority of Carolina students not be
ing able to get a look at the 1940 edi
tion of the Tar Baby nine until April
10 when it plays Louisburg college
here. Next Saturday, while the var
sity is entertaining Washington and
Lee here, the frosh will be in Raleigh
for a game with the Baby Terrors of
State college.
With no game scheduled until Sat
urday of " this week, Stray horn and
Tatum will have more time to get a
better look at the large number of
candidates who have reported for the
team. In an effort to work 'with the
men who didn't impress at the begin
ning, Tatum announced yesterday af
ternoon that all men who haven't re
ceived a practice uniform should re
port to the freshman field at 3 o'clock.
He plans to set aside the hour from 3
to 4 o'clock for a session with the
greener hands and to issue about .15
or 20 more practice uniforms to the
men who deserve them.'
If a man has been issued a uniform,
it won't be necesary for him to report
for practice until 4 o'clock, the coaches
said, for he won't be given any atten
tion until that time. Practice will
cease at 6 o'clock.
From the looks of the team after
the first week of practice, the infield
of Saunders at first, Oswald at sec
ond, Hearn at short and Honan at
third seems to be nearly fixed. Saun
ders is a converted third baseman play
ing first, and there may be a question
of his ability to play at the initial sack.
But the others are not new at their
positions and form a fine infield.
The catching prospects are not as
god as the coaches wiuld like them to
be. Chick. Evans apears at this stage
of -the game to have an inside track

Horseshoes, Water -Polo
Will Follow
By RICHARD MORRIS
The spring intramural program
starts Wednesday afternoon with
playground ball and tennis in both
the dormitory and fraternity leagues.
The program will be the most exten
sive in the history of intramurals on
the campus. It is opened with play
ground ball and tennis, followed by
horseshoes and water polo, two new
sports on the campus, and concluded
in the usual fashion with the track
meet late in May.
The return of mural activities to
the out-of-doors is featurea by the
most playground ball and tennis en
tries m its history. The fraternity I
league again takes the front in the
number of teams taking part in the
activities with 27 playgorund ball clubs
and 22 tennis teams, while the dormi
tory league will have 22 playground
ball clubs and 18 tennis teams.
Playground ball will be staged with
eight games for each team. Special
rules and regulations for the sport are
being sent to the managers of the var
ious organizations while other rules
will be the same as baseball.
. Tennis will be played in team tour
nament fashion. When a team loses
to another it is eliminated from fur
ther play in the tournament. Each
team will be composed of seven men
and each match will consist of five
matches, three singles and two doubles.
WHY BE DIFFERENT?
Sets will be the best five out of nine
games except in the semi-final matches
when regulation sets will be played.
All matches will be played on the upper
asphalt courts and will consist of the
best two out of three sets. The de
partment will furnish balls for matches
but the contestants may bring new
ones if they like.
The schedule of Wednesday's games
will be published in Tuesday's Daily
Tar Heel and a complete schedule for
the week will be sent the managers.
NETMEN OPPOSE
TOP FTJGHTERS
IN DARTMOUTH
Carolina's twice-victorious tennis
team goes against Grade-A opposition
Tuesday afternoon when Dartmouth's
touring netters open a crowded week
of court activity. '
John Kenfield's players, who blank
ed Haverford 9-0 and Colby 5-0 dur
ing the past week, have 'five matches
with northern teams in the next six
days. Following the Dartmouth en
counter, Williams college is here for
two-day stand Wednesday and
Thursday. The Big Red from Cornell
play Friday and Saturday.
Coach Kenfield has tentatively fixed
his line-up as that which has been used
so far. It is understood Harris Ever
ett, sophomore sensation, will be eligi
ble to play sometime next week after
re-examination on a course.
SAME BERTHS
Co-captains Charlie Rider and Bill
Rawlings are still in the No. 1 and 2
positions, with. Walt Meserole and Zan
Carver trailing in third and fourth
place respectively.'"' Ham Anthony,
Aston Beadles, Blair Rice and Frank
Robinson make up a field from which
the other two spots will be filled.
The match with Colby Friday was
stopped at the conclusion of five singles
matches because of rain.
From Monday until Friday of next
week, April 8-13, Kenfield will enter
some of his netmen in the annual
North-South tournament at Pinehurst.
Co-Captain Rider will be defeat
ing singles titlist this year. In the
tourney last year, Carolina dominat
ed the play, with the finals and semi
finals in both the singles and doubles
all-Carolina affairs.
Because of tiring schedules in the
past, Carolina plays only 13 matches
this season, but will enter two tourneys.
Duke Helps Southern
Conference Men Lead
GAINESVILLE, Fla., March 30
Four University of Maryland distance"
stars formed a team here today and
won three events in the second annual
Florida relays. Carolina, defending
champion, gained only one first place
as did Duke while Southern confer
ence athletes swept the five relays.
There were no team scores.'
The Tar Heels started as though
they might go on through the program
as they did in the first staging of the
relays last spring. Jimmy Davis pulled
them out of a hole in the sprint med
ley relay, the first event, when he took
the baton in third .place at the start
of the anchor leg and ran one of the
best half-miles of the day to finish in
first place. Ed Hoffman, Royce Jen
nings and Harry March led off, March
being about 15 yards behind Duke
when Davis began. Jimmy passed
Henry Profenius, the Blue Devils' ace
miler, on the first lap and outkicked
Small of Georgia Tech to win by five
yards. The time of 3:36.4 was a new
relay record, bettering that set by" the
Tar Heels last year.
But Maryland's Mason Chronister,
Jim Kehoe, Tom Fields and Alan Miller
ended the Carolina march right there,
starting by winning the two-mile re
lay, the Carolina specialty, in 7:56.4
and getting the first of their two meet
records. Miller, Fields, Chronister and
Kehoe running in that order led
all the way. Alabama was second, and
the Tar Heel team of Tom Crockett,
Johnny French, Dave Morrison and
Mike Wise was third.
Chronister, Kehoe and Fields tied
for first in the one-mile team race and
ended any question about the winner.
Their time was 4:29.8. Tom Crockett
in fourth, Fred Hardy seventh and '
Jim Vawter twelfth put Carolina sec
ond, and Florida was third. Fields, Ke-,
hoe, Chronister and Miller ran 3:24.5
to win the mile relay and get the sec
ond Maryland record. Alabama again

South Atlantic Fencing Tournament
Here Next Weekend Is South's First
Meet Styled After
Collegiates, Nationals
When the South Atlantic fencing
tournament begins here next Friday
it will be the first of its kind ever held
in the entire South. In the days of
1929, '30, and '31, the old Southern
conference of fencing held a sectional
tournament but never before has any
fencing meet in this area been as in
clusive as the coming SAT.
Sponsored by the University and
run by the fencing team itself, the
tournament is slated to last at least a
day and a half beginning Friday morn
ing and probably going through -Saturday
noon.
NINE TEAMS
Nine teams have already entered
the meet, representing five states and
the cream of the Southern fencing j
crop. Those already entered are Geor
gia Tech, Carolina, William and Mary,
Kentucky, Emory, Virginia, Johns
Hopkins, Loyola, and Norfolk division
of W&M. Entries are expected from
two more teams tomorrow.
The tournament, styled after both
the Eastern Intercollegiates and the
Nationals, will be fought in all threej
weapons. Fencers will be divided into
three divisions in each weapon
Classes A, B and C, depending on their
relative strength. Round robins will be
held on each strip with individual
winners declared. Team winners in
each weapon are determined by the
total number of bouts won by . the
team's fencers on all strips. The final
winner, or three-weapon champ, is de-
