L adjective slingers, but some
how somewhere along the line,
Dashiell never developed according
to schedule. He and Little gave the

a little, round man named George
ctirnweiss was on hand to under

brilliant chapter in southern foot

mother outstanding sophomore,
Jin Lalanne. Stirny and Lalanne
the past fall. Both of them All

time with each other.
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.
Well Johnny ran the varsity rag
red this winter. He always has been
an elusive ball carrier. . 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. Well,
Johnny didnt disappoint anyone

Baseball
Radman 's Pitching Is Over
But Outfield Berth Cinched
George Radman probably won't
pitch another game for the Carolina
baseball team. 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

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

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

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 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

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

ties. .
Balveat. a junior, placed sixth last
year in' the National Collegiates at

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

arm, but most important of all, Rad-

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

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.

OFLACROSSETEAM
By LEONARD LOBRED
The Carolina lacrosse team will be
a heavy and tough gang this spring
even if some of the candidates aren't
experienced, for yesterday Dan Deskh
and Bud Beers took over their berths
on the team and several other of Coach
Ray Wolfs gridmen were ordered out
to join the stickmen and get into con
dition. 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.
