Varsity Bsiseta, eEM""Mlra)g 71 ause id re 1 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 1941 p O ft cripts By Ben Snyder The scene was Philadelphia's Frank l:n field, the occasion was the annual Penn relay carnival and the time was last Friday afternoon when a number of the nation's better sprint men took their marks for the running of the American quarter-mile relay cham piossnip. ii.siaDiisnea iavontes were the much - heralded quartets from Xorth Texas State Teachers and from Xavier, Ohio, college for Ne- eroes. Little note was made of the other finalists from Navy and from Duke, for the Texans and the team from the Middle West were expected to have things pretty much their own way. From the crack of the starting gnn it seemed evident that the ex perts were not far off center as the green of Texas and the purple of Javier qniekly moved to the fore. It was neck and neck up to the an chor leg and the large audience in the tiers of high-banked stands that rise sharply above the track' rose to its feet for the customary neck-craning which invariably ac companies a close finish. And the crowd was not disappointed. The two favorites were pounding down the final stretch, not an eye lash apart, when a blue streak, in the person of Duke's Moffat Storer, came from far back in third place, caught the two leaders five yards in. front of the tape and whizzed on by in a blinding finish to take the race away from last year's cham pionship club from Texas and the breath away from those staid Phila-' delphians who have a habit of stick ing close to the prescribed order of things. As expected, and as is quite cus tomary, the eastern journals of the following morning carried the sick ening "rave notices" that "the South has finally arrived,'' that "a Dixie athletic bombshell has broken over the sporting world," or that "the men from below the Mason-Dixon Line put on a surprising performance." The same tiresome "we are amazed stor ies" that must make such dull reading for southern fans, that went hand in hand with Tennessee's Rose Bowl in Ste SPORT SCRIPTS, Page U Mural Schedule Softball 4:00 Diamond No. 1 Phi Alpha vs. Kappa Phi; diamond No. 2 Kappa Sigma No. 2 vs. TEP; diamond No. 3 Manly vs. Lewis No. 2; coed No. 1 Steele vs. H No. 2.

Mahoney Aids Defense Work Of Indians The Carolina lacrosse team further prepared yesterday for , its coming match with Duke and this Saturday's warm-up battle against the Washing ton lacrosse club with a vigorous scrimmage and the acquisition of a new defense man. The new man is Momo Mahoney. The big, congenial Irishman has never played lacrosse to any great extent, but seems to be picking up the game quickly and should prove a valuable asset to Coach Cornsweet's defense. Fans may remember Mahoney as the clown of the 1941 swimming team. The big boy stated, "I've been wast ing all my time on street corners, and now I find that it's not only legal, but they give you sticks to do it with." The defense was the shining light in yesterday's scrimmage. Time after time the offense was turned back from the goal by sparkling defensive play. The defensive play was the only redeeming feature of the whole after noon, however. The attack was weak throughout and missing madly. The play was lackadaisical and failed to break through the defense at all. The Indians were practicing several new plays which will be worked on all this week as well as in the game at Washington Saturday in an effort to perfect them for the Duke game. It was apparent that the offense need ed of vigor to perfect the plays. Yes terday's poor showing can be excused by the long period of inactivity that the men partly have had since their ast real game. .Tony Remy was outstanding in the scrimmage, and the work of Mahoney in his first real taste of the game promised that his assistance can be helpful. - Jun Gugert was on the side- ines on a pair of crutches, eager to see action once more, but Jun will not play until the Duke battle. Frosh Box Score Frosh Swamp EMI, 12-4; Meet Hillsboro Today . Jack Hussey Takes First Win of Year; Gives Up Six Hits By Earle Hellen Unleashing its biggest offensive at tack of the year, the Carolina frosh baseball nine trampled Edwards Mili tary' Institute 12-4 yesterday after noon. Coach Tatum used his entire squad in the slugfest and when the game ended the bench was bare of the usual substitutes. In an effort to cop its second vic tory of 'the week the Tar Babies en gage Hillsboro high on Emerson field at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Xef ty Fitzgerald will go to the mound for the frosh in his first start of the sea son. The freshmen rule as heavy favorites in today's contest and before the game is over, the entire squad will probably see action. Hussey's First Win In yesterday's, game Jack Hussey did the pitching and turned in a nice piece of work to garner his first vic tory of the season. Hussey limited the Cadets to six scattered hits and fanned six. He also had six assists credited to him on the scorebook to show he had the visitors well shackled. The Tar Babies raked Bill Ratteree, star pitcher for EMI, for ten hits in cluding two home runs and a double. In all fairness to Ratteree, it might be added that he didn't receive much support from his teammates who er rored six times and these bobbles con tinually kept him in trouble. In con trast to their game with Duke last week, the frosh were hitting with men on bases in yesterday's tilt and left only five men stranded. EMI Opens Scoring JbMI opened the scoring with two tallies in the second. Corbett's single to right field sent Kaleel and Vann who had reached base via a single and fielder's choice across the plate with the first runs of the game. The Cadets' lead was short lived as the Tar Babies came back in their half of the second to tally sixruns ana go into a leaa tnat was.:, never threatened. Dub Johnson opened the inning with an infield single. After McCaskill had walked, both runners scored when first baseman Lawrence dropped a throw to first when pitcher Ratteree was attempting to throw Cheek out at first. Harris reached first on the shortstop's error and Hussey singled to fill the bases.Brant Waters promptly unloaded the bases with long double to right sending in two runners. Mac Morris drove in Hussey and Waters with the fifth and sixth runs of the frame witha line single to center. The Tar Babies added two more in the third stanza when Emmett Cheek hit a home run down the left-field line driving in Croom ahead of himJ In the seventh inning Craven Turner stepped up to the plate looking for his second hit of . the year and drove out a homer to right-center field scoring Morris before him. The final frosh runs were scored in the eighth when P. A. Lee singled to right to send two runners across the platter.

Neese Sets Pace By Downing Poole, Carolinas Champ DURHAM, April 29 Carolina's golf team came closer to beating Duke today than it has in the five past years, -but the Blue Devils had- just enough power to defeat the Tar Heels, 15 11, here on the Hillandale course. The win all but assured the Blue Devils the Southern conference crown. The defeat was Carolina's third in nine starts. Pace-setter in the Tar Heels' play was Shooky Neese, who defeated Poole, the Carolinas champion, 2-1, after trailing Poole by two strokes on the out-nine. Neese Sparks Tar Heels . Neese played a steady brand of golf all afternoon and was easily the. key man for the Tar Heels. Chuck Alex ander, Duke's great linksman, shat- See GOLF, Page U .'.a 5 Jennings, Rich Tally Runs. In Second Win Over Beacons By Harry Hoffiagswortli o WAKE FOREST, April 23 Although held to four hits by Art Vivian, Caro lina bunched two in the fifth inning for two runs and backed up John Lefty" Cheshire with perfect defensive work to overcome the Demon Deacons here today, 2-0. - Hal Jennings and Charlie Rich provided the batting punch in the fifth for the Tar Heels' two runs. " Jennings opened the frame by singling into right field. Rich followed by doubling to the left field bank, and Jennings came home with the first run of the game. Rich gained third on a passed ball and scored when Chubby Myers grounded out, third to first. After that inning the Tar Heels did not threaten again until' the eighth when they placed two men on base. Howard Hit by Pitcher Myers singled with one man out and moved to second on an infield out. Jimmy Howard, getting back into form after being out because of an injury to his finger, took first when he was hit by a pitched ball. A long running catch by Fred Eason in right field on Al Mathes' drive ended the inning. While the Tar Heels were offering only two threats and making good on one of them Wake Forest placed men 2, . ,. :' . v .v.wW.v.v.-. ... -v . l - v - :--": : '..:-. i" A N ' -l - - , i t - r J A " s A. f V' - 9 ?A - ' " 1 '1 4- lit ... .v.vvv.v.'.v. .-a-. .-.J 1 V CHARLIE RICH, Carolina third baseman and senior on the squad, doubled Hal Jennings home yester day with the first run of the Wake-Forest-Carolina game.

With men on second and third and one man down, catcher Ray Everly fouled out to Charlie Rich on third, but Vivian worked Cheshire for a walk, filling the bases.
