Stirnweiss graduates this June. Volf may have had some fears that wrhaps his run of extra extraordinary q-arterbacks was over, but winter practice showed that in addition to Lalanne, Carolina will have perhaps a quartet of other quarterbacks above average in ability. Frank O'Hare, a rising junior, and rising sophomores Al Remy, Johnny Pecora and Steve O'Hedy were all heard from in the off-season work-outs. It was Pecora who got most of the headlines. Johnny caused consterna tion among the first stringers by scor ing a couple of touchdowns in the practice scrimmages and got his name in the state papers. Pecora was an excellent ball car rier last fall with the freshmen, but it was always feared he was too small. Never could tell what permanent in jury might befall Johnny he was so smalL He had the ability, but his size. That was up for question. The profes sional worriers went around with fur rowed brows figuring that Pecora might be injured for life if he ever got against the varsity bruisers.

Gordon Gray, the Winston-Salem newspaper publisher and tobacco magnate, was down at practice about a month ago. He saw Pecora run as well as usual and remembered the first time he lad seen him operate. It was a high school game. Pe ,rora was with Warsaw high. Gray couldn't remember who Warsaw was playing. That wasn't so impor tant. The big story was the way Pe tora carried on, generally making life miserable for the opposing school Gray didn't forget that per formance and the first boy he asked about at practice was Pecora.

An old football injury a twisted nerve in his throwing arm will keep him off the mound, but the chances are that only a charge of dy namite applied under his feet will keep nun out oi the Tar Heel outfield. Radman has always been the most grossly underrated Carolina athlete. His blocking and pass-catching on the football field were taken for granted and greeted only with the mildest ao- plause. Before the start of the base ball season the cheers, went up for Lefty Cheshire and Red Benton when Carolina fans thought of Bunn Hearn's pitching staff. . But Hearn realized Cheshire and Benton were sophomores and would be bound to suffer the inevitable jitters that seems to beset all rookies. So he designated Radman .as his number one starter, knowing that George who won two and lost pne lastspring could be depended on in any situation. It was Radman who got the starting nomination against Maryland in the first game of the season. George went an inning of relief against Penn and was tagged with the defeat. That was two weeks ago and he hasn't pitched since. The arm in jury has kept him from bearing down. But it has not and will not keep him Finch And Aleskovsky Chosen 19'41 Fencing Co-Captains -3 FRESHMAN TRACK SLATE ANNOUNCED With the completion of the freshman schedule, Coach Dale Ranson yesterday planned more organized workouts for his frosh trackmen. The first year men will meet at Fetzer, field today at 4:30 if weather permits, and if not in 304 Woollen gym. The freshman unofficially opened their season Saturday, running a sprint medley relay after the varsity meet with Princeton. Similar events are planned this weekend when Caro lina faces Virginia here. The big event on the fnjshschedule is a meet with the Navy Plebes May 4, when both varsity and freshman teams will go to Annapolis for the two meets. The schedule: April 17 Duke at Durham. April 26-27 Jr. and Sr. AAU here. May 4 Navy at Annapolis. May 15 Duke here. May 25 Interclass meet here. Carolina's varsity trackmen, in beating Princeton, appeared in better shape Saturday yJhan had been expect-1 ed, but this weelc will De a wee oi hard work in preparation for the meet with Virginia. Heading the visitors is Frank Fuller, who ran :8.4 in the 70-ya-rd high hurdles in the Southern Conference Indoor games here last February to set a new world record (Continued on page 4, column 5) Michigan Track Star Works Out Phil Balyeat of the University of Michigan, tenth ranking collegiate quarter miler in the nation, arrived here yesterday on his spring vacation to get in shape for the coming outdoor season. He follows the Princeton trackmen and becomes the third out sider to take advantage of local facili ties. . Balveat. a junior, placed sixth last year in' the National Collegiates at Berkley, California. His best quarter mile time is :47.5. He competed during the indoor sea son at Michigan, but came nere'ior a - Vita cnnlt- warmer weatner to lmjjiuyc tion. He first" met some of the Tar Heel runners in 1938, when his coach wouldn't permit him to go to the Na tional Junior meet in Minneapolis. The Carolina entourage took him to Minne apolis and he ran :49.4 to win the National Junior AAU 400-meter cham pionship. Balyeat will probably leave lor Ann Arbor Thursday. - Basketball All basketball lettermen will meet this morning at 10:30 in 205 Woollen CHAPEL out of the starting outfield- George chased flies last spring when he wasn't pitching and managed to hit .318. Hearn had an outfield hole this spring, a gaping one through which the whole team threatened to fall for awhile. Radman went into left-field against Michigan last Friday. Carolina had lost three straight games and seemed in danger of falling out of sight and spending a quiet spring far removed from any danger of winning either the conference of Big Five titles. Rad man helped set the team back in win ning stride. He collected five hits in cluding a home run against the Wol verines, knocked in three runs and led the way to a 15-12 Carolina victory. George remained in the outfield Sat urday against W&L. It may have been due to a natural let-down from his superlative five-for-six day, because Radman grabbed himself but one in field hit. Hearn doesn't commit himself very often. He prefers to keep his own counsel and make all line-up changes at game-time. But there will be one change Hearn will not make. Radman is in left to stay. George can hit, can throw good enough to hold down a fly4 chasing spot in spite of that bad right arm, but most important of all, Rad- (Continued on page 4, column 1) 4 Team Ends Season At Banquet Sunday John W. Finch, Jr., of Saratoga and Bernie Aleskovsky of Spring Valley, N. Y., were elected co-captains of the 1941 fencing team Sun day night at the team banquet. Hen ry Smernoff was barely defeated on the i second ballot... In the season's final gathering, the members of the team heard Dr. Lin ker and Ed Coffin heap praise on the South Atlantic champions while the entire group as a whole expressed their apperication to the five grad uating seniors who revived and nurs ed fencing along to its present high place on the collegiate schedule since 1936 Co-Captains Allan Bloom and Joe Boak, Dave Malone, Richard Freudenheim, and Business Manager Jerry Stoff. EPEE Both co-captains are epee fencers. Finch for two successive years has been a leading varsity epeeist. Last year, he had one of the best individual Srecords on the team, fencing .600 and winning a first place in the East ern Intercollegiates. This year, (Continued on page A, column 6) Captain Mullis Has Physical Educators By RICHARD MORRIS All symptoms on the Carolina cam pus such as, flowers blooming, trees budding out, sultry weather, and young men's fancy lightly turning to thoughts of love, indicate that spring is defini nitely here but after taking one look at Pete Mullis, who is to act as play ing captain for the Physical Educa tors softball team, one would think that it was mid-winter. Pete contends that the problems of the major league baseball managers are simple compared with those that confront him from his temperamental squad, which possessed the best play ers on the campus last year. And Pete has much reason to moan, for with the first game on his schedule coming up Wednesday afternoon against SAE, only one player has signed to play for his team, this being E. F. Cooley who is slated to hold down the catch ing duties of the club. It is rumored that the only reason that Cooley has signed is that he is the only rookie on the club. The re mainder of the club are holding out for higher wages. Shortstop Dick Jamerson and third baseman Marvin Allen in acting as spokesmen for the holdouts when cornered by this scribe are quoted as saying "last year we all signed for two packages of cigarettes and promise of a bonus for an unde feated season, but this year we think that we are each worth four packs of cigarettes plus a larger bonus and if Mullis don't come across he will find himself without a team." HILL, N. O, TUESDAY, APRIL NORTH-SOUTH NET MEET BEGINS AT PINMJRST TODAY PINEHURST, April 8. The 22nd annual North South tennis tourna ment will begin here tomorrow, if the rains are so inclined. The tourna ment, now known strictly as an in tercollegiate event, has a record en try of 70 players. Heading the field and monopoliz ing the entries will be 40 netmen from the University of North Carolina. Duke university will send 10 players and N. C. State approximately four among other state collegiate net men. Charles Rider, North Carolina co- captain, will be defending champion in the singles. Rider last year upset a picked field when he defeated team mates Bill Rood for the title.. Other stars expected for the meet are Alex Guerry, a graduate student at Chapel Hill; Don Buffington, number one Blue Devil netman; Bill Rawlings, Carolina co-captain; Har ris Everett, Florida state junior champion recently; and a number of the East's leading amateurs. WATER POLO TO START APRIL 16 Prevented from playing softball or tennis by rain and wet grounds, in tramural outfits in both the dormitory and fraternity leagues made use of their day of rest by making prepara tions for the water-polo tournament, which makes its official debut in the Bowman Gray Memorial Pool on Tues day April 16. Team entries for this sport must be in Woollen, gym by Thursday April 11. 1 In making its first appearance on the Carolina Intramural program the sport will be conducted on the dou ble elimination style of tournament with a team having to lose twice be fore being eliminated. Since the build ing of the pool organizations have been requesting water-polo on the in tramural schedule and as a result under the direction of Coach Dick Jamerson the tournament in each league should be one of the most suc cessful of the year. To make the sport as successful as possible in its first appearance the department is sending a set of rules and regulations of the game to each organization in order to ac quaint the participants to the techni cal part of the game. Golf Instruction ' All coeds, faculty wives and grad uate students interested in taking golf instruction will meet this after noon at 4:30 at the dining hall end of Emerson field if the weather is fair. In case of rain meet in the women's lounge at Woollen gym. Trouble Signing To Play Softball Mullis had a dinner engagement with shortstop Jamerson yesterday, but as yet he. has not reported that Jamerson has signed on the dotted line, however, it is believed that he will come to agree ment with every man on the squad by Wednesday and that all will be ready to play when the game is called Wed nesday afternoon. Last year's team went through an eight game schedule without losing a game while holding their opponents to eight runs. The team exhibited .its power by stopping Zeta Psi, twice winner of the fraternity crown, in two games, one being a 5-0 shutout and the other 11-3. In winning' the Physical Educators became the first team to do the feat in two years. Other, vic tims of the powerful team were the Order of the Grail twice, SAE, Kappa Sigma, Mangum and N. C. State Physi cal Education Faculty. The team was composed of Mullis, Siewert, Stray- horn, Barclay, Jamerson, ' Ronman, Wolfe, Dunham, Grubb, Allen, Dono van and Cornwell. The only men lost to the team this year are Dunham, Grubb and Dono van and with the addition of Flucie Stewart, v Frank Allston and E. F. Cooley the team appears . greatly strengthened. The mound sftars of last year Doc Siewert and Coach Ray Wolf appear to be in the best of con dition and will be the sparkplugs of the team. If Mullis can get all of his men under the line by Wednesday Jhe will again have a wonder team. . j par 9, 1940 Wake Forest Releases 1940 Football Schedule; Meets Carolina Sept. 28 WAKE FOREST, April 8 Wake Forest's Deacon gridders will play nine games next fall, according to the 1940 schedule announced here today by Jim Weaver, athletic di rector.

FRESHMAN NINE WEAK IN FIELDING Having demonstrated that it has plenty of hitting power, witness the 13-hit attack against the State frosh Saturday afternoon, the Carolina frosh baseball team appeared weak in field ing, a division that it had looked par ticularly strong in pre-game practices. Other than the two pitchers, Bill Honan, who handled four chances per fectly, was the only inf ielder who didn't make a miscue. The infield committed a total of five errors and four of them came in the first inning when the State frosh scored four of its six runs. But to get to the pleasant side of the frosh's first game, the hitting power of the team was something at which to be amazed. Bob Saunders almost committed murder at the ex pense of the two Baby Terror pitchers with a single, double and home run in five trips to the plate. His round tripper cleared the hedge in left on the State freshman field and landed close to the Frank Thompson gym. It was a tremendous drive going at least 350 feet. Bill Honan and Tommy Oswald got two hits in five times at bat .to add their part in the afternoon's batting practice. One of the Honan's was a long double into left center. The freshman team plays two games in Chapel Hill this week, the first with Louisburg college Wednesday after noon and the second with Wake Forest Saturday afternoon.

Desich and Beers, first team mem bers of the team two springs ago when the lacrossemen were " just getting started, will probably go into first string positions and play when the Indians open their schedule Saturday with Duke at Durham. The game will be the first Duke encounter since la crosse was officially recognized at the Methodist school as an organized sport. GOOD CONDITIONER Coaches Ray Wolf and Johnny Vaught said last year they considered lacrosse an excellent conditioner for their football men, but only Desich, Beers and Art Ditt, 200-pound full back in 1937, ever tried it. VaUght advised some of the gridmen they need ed the spring work. With Desich and Beers as candidates for the team are Al Remy, Ed Mich aels, Paige Graham, Sid Heimovitch, Joe Wolf, John Miller and Bill Sigler, all of them members of last fall's fresh man grid team. Remy, Michaels and Graham reported yesterday and took part in stick drills. Remy was put in defensive formation and used his weight to advantage. Heimovitch must wait until a muscle ailment heals before he can be out. but Miller, Wolf and Sigler are ex pected within the week. Toby Webb watched practice yesterday and wish ed his ankle wasn't broken so that he might try the sport. DESICH AND BEERS Neither Desich nor Beers, linemen in football, required extra attention at practice yesterday since they are adept stick handlers. Coach Al Corn sweet stuck them into offensive and defensive drills, and few of some 35 candidates could out-manueuver them- They played thorughout the 1938 season, but were out last year, Desich with an injury and Beers because he was not in school. With these two back in uniform, Coach Cornsweet has enough left-overs from the last Iwo years to form a strong team. His big gest loss was Goalie Bob Doty, but another goal-tender has turned up un expectedly to fill his place.
