I bare been going to school here
. eere three years, and only yes
terday my freshman English teacher
rtaarLed that it seemed a shame
CartHna had to lose to Duke in both
baseball and football every year.
FrtaptJy I reminded him of the
magnificent Carolina football victory
a 1337, but try as I could I wasn't
Me to recall a recent major Caro
Bna baseball win over our nice
neighbors.
Ob, yes, Bunn Hearn did have the
satisfaction of a championship team in
1933. Bat this year, and last year, and
the year before that, and so on, Mr.
Hearn suffered terrible agony almost
every time his boys crossed Duke's
path.
Strange things have happened in
the baseball season so far. The Brook
p Dodgers are about to win a perr-
nast Duke started off like a dormitory
beer party and then lost twice to Wake
Forest and once to Maryland. Wake
Forest was therefore considered the
hottest stuff in the league, then lost to
William and Mary, Elon, Carolina,
E&adolph Macon, and finally State.
Carolina began like the traditional
Iamb by modestly beating May Hosiery
e21 in a practice game and then lick
ing Maryland. A cog drdpped out
somewhere and Harvard, Penn, and
Cornell won successive games at
Emerson. Then Carolina started all
over and hasn't been beaten since
riming 10 straight games.
No Big Five or Southern confer
ee team has yet" topped the Tar
Heels. But every game remaining on
the schedule means ' something.
State today, then Davidson, Fur
man, Clemson, Wake Forest, and
Duke, Duke, Duke.
Wake Forest and Duke are, of
course, the bigger boys. It is only
necessary to beat Wake Forest again
and take at least one game from Duke,
or win two out of three with the
Devils, to get the state title. That, by
simple arithmetic, means only two out
of four games, in the proper propor
tions, are needed assuming that
State and Davidson don't horn into the
proceedings and upset diligent calcu
lations. But such things happen.
There is one serious problem con
fronting Coach Hearn. He hasnt
dough pitchers to go around. It will
be admitted his club has done amazing
ly well on Cheshire, Benton, Radman
Kd Ralston to date, but th hardest
part of the schedule, condensed into
a couple of weeks, is coming up. Rad

STICKMEN STAY
AHEAD IN RACE
IN DIXIE LEAGUE
By Yates Poteat
Carolina's" rejuvenated and inspired
lacrossemen, by virtue of their mag
nificent 6-3 victory over the favored
Washington and Lee Generals last
Saturday, have placed themselves in
the driver's seat in their mad scram
ble with Monk Monger's contingent
for the Dixie league diadem.
Every member of Coach Al Corn
sweet's victorious squad cooperated
admirably in administering the humil
iating defeat on the heads of the proud
Generals, executing well-planned plays
that had Washington and Lee com
pletely baffled at times.
Special praise was in order after
the last game for the Indians' new
goalie, diminutive Milt Harris, who,
in the short space of five days learned
enough of the finer points of goal
tending to hold one of the country's
most potent lacrosse teams to only
three goals. Co-captain Coleman
Finkel with four goals and Ray Ros
enbloom with two, accounted for all
of the Indian's six points, but it would
have been impossible for Finkel and
Rosenbloom to have made their well
timed shots without the skillful block
ing and passing of their fighting
teammates.
The Generals, despite their set
back at the hands of the surprisingly
strong Indians, are still leading the
loop with a record of four wins and
one defeat. Carolina, having engag
ed in only three league battles, are
in second place with two victories and
one loss. Coach Cornsweet's charges
have beaten Duke and Washington
and Lee once each, but the Blue

Moore Allows Seven
Hits in 4-2 Triumph
By Harry Hollingsworth
Pitching steady ball for the entire
game, Charlie Moore, six-foot-one-inch
of gangling man, hurled the Carolina
freshman baseball team to a 4-2 vic
tory over the State frosh yesterday
afternoon on Emerson field.
' Moore had not started a game until
yesterday, although he had pitched
seven innings of relief ball in one
game, allowing seven hits, and getting
credit for the win. He started .the
game when Howard Hodges, whose
turn it was to pitch, reported to the
infirmary instead of the balj field.
Allowing seven hits, the tall moun
tain lad stayed out of trouble most of
the afternoon and never lost his con
trol. State got to him for three hits
and one run in the third inning, and
two hits, mixed between a stolen base,
gave State its second run in the sev
enth. '
Using his curve ball to advantage
when men were on the sacks, Moore
fanned seven men. He suffered his
worst inning in the third when Charlie
Wood, State's pitcher, singled through
second with no one down. While Dick
erson was sticking out, Wood swiped
second and came home when Gilbert
bingled into center field. Jim Mills
singled Dickerson to third, and ad
vanced to second when Joe Mills sacri
ficed. Bob Saunders handled the ball
and made a nice play in putting out
Mills and keeping Dickerson on third.
Moore got Rudisill, the sixth batter
to face him during the inning, on a
ground ball to Second baseman Tommy
Oswald. For the remainder of the game
State collected three hits, all singles,
off Moore.
Carolina scored its runs one at a
time from the third through the sixth.
Snell opened the' third inning with a
single and went to second when he was
attempting to steal on a error by the
second baseman. Johnny Hearn ad
vanced him to third on a fielder's

LINESMEN CLOSE
SLATE THIS WEEK
WITH FOUR MEETS
By Jack Saunders
Showing a record of four wins, two
ties, and a single defeat, Carolina's
golfers wind up their schedule this
week with four consecutive days of
links activity that will largely deter
mine the degree of success that will
mark this year's team.
Held to a tie Friday by a strong
Davidson outfit and losers only to
Duke, Coach Chuck Erickson's swing
ers return to the Sedgefield country
club course for annual state tourney
tomorrow, engage The Citadel the
next day, and then offer the finale in
the two-day Southern conference meet
in Greensboro Friday and Saturday.
The same four stalwarts who have
led the way all year will again shoulder
the load in the coming contests Neal
Herring, Frosty Snow, Charlie Diffen
dal, and Hudson Boyd. Herring suf
fered his first defeat in singles pair
ings when Davidson's Henry Pegram
pulled an upset to edge the Tar Heel
star by 2-1. Snow has offered a stead
ily improving brand of play while cap
turing medal honors on several occa
sions. He and Hudson Boyd tied for
low-scoring laurels in the 'Cat affray,
while Charlie Diffendal has showed
spots -of , superior play in his No. 4
berth.
The main object in view for the
Carolina clubmen is to stop the Blue
Devils, of Duke. Having reigned state
and conference loops for five succes
sive springs, the Dukes will be the
team to beat. A year ago, Erickson's
proteges finished one-two to the Devils
in the conference tournament after be
ing relegated to third place in the
state tourney so there is the possibi

Track Team Turns
To Georgia, Loop
After Navy Loss
Two difficult meets coming up for
the Tar Heels are the concerns for
the Carolina trackmen at present and
not the 77-49 setback at Annapolis
Saturday by Navy.
The Midshipmen were better than
the Tar Heels that day, and few will
deny it. The track, recently dug up
and remodeled, was very soft and
inconvenienced runners of both sides.
Most of the times were slow, because
both the track and the weather were
adverse to good running.
But the Navy meet is gone, and the
Georgia and the Southern conference
meets are the present worries. The
Bulldogs boast of several of the out
standing performers in the South
eastern conference, yet the meet of
fers splendid opportunity for all of
the Tar Heels to get in their last com
petitive work before the conference
meet.
The conference meets in the past
have been won and lost on fourth and
fifth places, and Carolina, with its
large number of candidates, has al
ways led. In rolling up their second
consecutive championship last year,
the Tar Heels broke into the scoring
in every event.
Chances for first places this year
are slim, and the meet can be won in
typical Carolina style at least one
place in every event. Standouts in
the conference are few this time, and
men who have missed scoring in dual
meets will have good chances to place
in the conference meet. Five places
count on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis and the
field is wide open.

Yale's leading combination, Stephens
Rutledge, by scores of 6-3, 2-6, 6-3, in
the decisive match to give Carolina
victory. The Tar Heels left after the
match for Princeton, where they will
engage the Princeton Tigers tomor
row. Although a slight drizzle fell at the
start of play, the courts were excel
lent after-the weather cleared. The
long trip from Charlottesville had
tired the Tar Heel netmen, but they
came through to remain unbeaten in
11 starts this season and take their
thirtieth in a row.
The meet was as though it were
pulled out of a hat for the Tar Heels
They trailed 3-1 in singles at one time,
and were pushed to the final match for
the second time this season before
victory was gained through Carver
and Meserole.
Early Advantage
Charlie Rider gave the Tar Heels an
advantage at the start by downing
Cutler in the No. 1 singles, 6-3, 7-9,
6-1. Cutler's performance equalled
that of the red-haired Carolinian's in
the first two sets, but he lacked the
stamina of the Tar Heel ace and of
fered little opposition in the final.
Harris Everett, the netter who has
been constantly winning for the Tar
Heels, found the going against
Stephens to be to his liking as he won
6-0, 6-4.
Thorn gave Yale its first victory of
the match as he stopped Carolina's
third singles man, Walt Meserole, in
two sets, 7-5, 6-4. Meserole's usual
steady form wasn't quite up to par or
on an equal with the winning Thorn.
Bill Rawlings, the other half of the
Carolina co-captains, was extended to
three sets before downing Freeman,
4-6, 6-2, 6-4. Rawlings' rally in the
last two sets was one of the high spots
of the match.
Steckler of Yale and Zan Carver en
gaged in a three, set tussle with the
Yale candidate winning 3-6, 6-3, 7-5..
