I Cap Trade own ILlUUfOJ T!71T0ni M PT1 AT ' 1 lLi(BS WEDNESDAY, ilAY 28? 1941 Gugert, Werner Elected Lacrosse Co-captains By Bill Woestendiek Jun Gusert and Bob Werner, rising seniors from Chapel Hill and Drexel Hillt Pju, were elected co-captains of the Carolina lacrosse team for next year at a meeting- of the squad last night. Both men starred on this year's team, and are capable and efficient. Gugert, a native of Chapel Hill, is the son of Mrs. Francis Gugert, -who -was the business manager of this year's team. Jun is prominent in many campus activities as well as being presi dent of the Chi Psi fraternity. He has also played football for three years, is an excellent horseman, and has won several trophies for horseback riding. All-around Player Gugert was the greatest all-around player on this year's team. He star red at the center position, and played consistently at all times. Suffering a severe ankle injury in the Navy game, he recovered in time to play against Duke. He was one of the big stars of the 'first Duke game, being constantly in the thick of the battle and outplaying his more famous op ponent, Duke's Ail-American center, Bay Brown. Bob Werner has been rapidly devel oping into a star defenseman. Com ing out for lacrosse in. his freshman year with no knowledge of the sport, he has shown great improvement each year, and this past season came into his own as one of the most depend able men on the team. He has shown biTngplf to be of the same steady, all around type as Gugert, and should be an excellent leader along with Jun. Full-Time Job Both Werner and Gugert will have a full-time job on their hands. They will be attempting to spark the team to its second consecutive Dixie league title, and will have to overcome many odds. Also they will have to continue to develop the interest of the students and see that it continues increasing at its present rate. It will be tough, filling the shoes of Coley Finkel and Dan Desich, co-captains this year, but both boys are well-fitted for the task and should do an efficient job.

Phys Ed Softball Team To Play Champion Kappa Sigs Today By Richard Morris Fresh from a double victory over Company B of the 60th Infantry at Fort Bragg, Physical Education tooK upon itself a man-size job yesterday afternoon when it challenged Kappa Sigma's fraternity softball champions to meet it for a pitched battle on coed field this afternoon at 5 o'clock. In making the challenge the instruc tors said they realized they were lit erally cutting their own throats for Vonn, CS-rrma ! one of the best softball machines assembled in intra mural history here. In making the challenge official captain Mullis said, "We know that for the first time this season the odds are against us. We may be biting off more than we can chew, but we just want to test our strength for the last time. Kappa Sigma has a great team, intact, the finest I have ever seen in intramur al. They beat us twice last year and will probably triumph again this time, but we are out for revenge and will not give up until the last man is retired." Slogging Line-up Mullis could not have over-emphasized the strength of the Kappa Sig ma team for they are any pitcher's headache. From lead-off man to the bottom the line-up is a murderer's row. There is no clean up man on this team which boasts a batting aver age of .303. Every man on the team is a sultan of swat, capable of clout Band Bombers Pick Sponsors For Ball Game Milt Kantrowitz, manager of the University Band Bombers, announced today that the musician-ballplayers will have a beautiful coed and a gorg eous import sitting on their bench when the Bombers tangle with the Glee Club Clubbers a week from Friday. The Softball game, which is to be an annual affair, will get under way at 4 o'clock on Coed field. Redhead Sponsor Mary Bason, vivacious little AD Pi redhead, and Ellen Williams, blonde bombshell from Swarthmore college, will act as sponsors for the Bombers. Bill Mehaffey, president of the Glee Club, said he would announce the name of the Clubbers' sponsor in a few days. Captain Slocum Earl Slocum, brilliant right fielder, will captain the Bombers from the field. When Slocum is not playing ball he plays the flute and acts as director of the Band. Clyde Keutzer, Glee Club director and concert tenor, will captain the Clubbers. All Glee Club and Band members who want to play in the Music Bowl classic should show up at Coed field a few minutes before game time. Badminton Play-off Ends Coed Murals After Kat Lineback and Eva Boat wright play their semi-finals match in the coed badminton tourney today, the winner will meet Helen Milam for the championship. Winner over Peggy Arnold by a score of 11-7, 11-4, Miss Milam has been qualified to play in the finals since last Thursday. Today, with the last semi-final matches being played off, the badminton tourney will close the coed athletic calendar for the spring quarter. Miss Arnold beat Jean Wire with a score of 11-1, 11-1, to meet Miss Milam, who qualified for the semi-finals on a default by Elaine Mitchell. ing a home run almost at will. The team is equally as strong defensive ly. The infield is the fastest and stead iest to ever perform for any student organization. The outfielders are all tar buckets and the only way an op posing batter gets on base is by a real, hard hit. The battery can not be beaten. Hambright on the mound is undoubtedly " the No. 1 hurler in intramurals while Sigler does a neat job in catching his offerings. Faircloth Leading Hitter Bill Faircloth, all-campus catcher last year, was converted to an out fielder this season and is leading the team in batting with an average' of .438. Pitcher Jimmy Hambright is runner-up with .423 while Harold "Nack" Austin is above the .400 mark with .414. Others to excel .300 in batting are Jim Lalanne, -393; Buzz Mitchell, .333; Frank Holton, .333; Leo LeBlanc, .316; and Mac Edwards, .300. Cecil Wooten, Bill Sigler and Bob Rose, the only members of the team out of the hitting race are the neatest fielders on the team. The fraternity champions have won 18 consecutive games and are just as anxious to win number 19 as they were the first. Physical Education is thus facing an all-campus team-within one organization. What will hap pen when they meet remains to be seen. r PAUL SEVERIN, Carolina's two-year All-America football end, who recently accepted the position of di rector of athletics at the New Hanover high school in Wilmington, effective July" 1, already has a head start on his new job. Pictured with Severin is 16-year-old Agnes Morton of Wilmington, who . is being referred to by many sports writers as one of the most promising women golf stars of the south. Severin appears to, be smiling about something. Maybe it's because-hell be coaching Agnes next year, for she plays No. 2 on the Wil mington high school golf team and is the only feminine member of the squad. Severin seems to be giving his driver the onceover, and Agnes looks on approvingly. In a nine-hole exhibition match recently on the Hillandale course at Durham, between Miss Morton and three members of Carolina's golf team, Agnes and Billy Peete, promising sophomore, beat Severin and Tom Hayes. She shot a 39. Par for the 18-hole course is 71. Success of Compulsory Phys Ed Plan Attributed to Student Cooperation Year's Activities Cost University Close To $10,000 By Harry Belk Members of the physical education epartment of the University of North Carolina, upon completion of the first year of the four-year plan of com pulsory physical education for all un- ergraduate male students, are declar ing success due to tne cooperation we have received from our student body." The year-old plan went into effect last September as Carolina kept step with colleges and universities all over the country in organizing a physical preparedness program to aid the na tional defense program in the best possible way. Athletic training is rec ognized by military authorities as not only beneficial for physical condition ing, but also for instilling in young men a combative spirit, discipline and a responsiveness to leadership. Faculty Committee Nucleus The nucleus for the plan was form ed last summer by President Frank Graham and a committee composed of R. B. House, dean of administration; W. D. Carmichael, controller; Dr. W. R. Berry hill, University physician; F. F. Bradshaw, dean of students; and R, B. Fetzer, director of physical educa tion and athletics. The committee considered a schedule, a personnel, budget, and proceeded further by call ing together various groups of stu dent leaders to discuss problems con nected with the plan. Staff meetings were held by mem bers of the physical education depart ment and, finally, the entire Univer sity faculty was called together for discussions. The faculty agreed "the oroblem of nrenaredness is a total University problem and the program a being instituted in physical education is likewise a total University prob lem which depends on the cooperation of the whole faculty for its success." Four Hours Weekly The faculty decided that all under graduate male students would be re quired to spend four hours two in regular classes and two at the stu dent's convenience in some physical education activity each week. Further conclusions by the faculty members were that all students, old and new, take a thorough physical examination and emphasis be placed on physical conditioning, but at the same time a program centered around student in terests, that the program should not be of a military nature, that every student be made familiar with his ex act physical condition, and that the University health service and depart ment of athletics have a free hand in - carrying out the program. 4,036 Examined During freshman week and the first regular week of school 4,036 students were examined by a staff of 20 doc tors assisted by 14 nurses, 32 medical students, and 30 physical education students and staff members. Of the total number examined, 3,000 were declared to be physically fit to take part in the program. Stu dents permitted to participate in any activity number 2,847 and received a medical rating of "A." A total of 99 were given a rating, 41 a "C" rating and 42 a "D" rating. Students with a rating less than "A" were plac ed under the care of the infirmary doc tors. If a student showed positive signs of tuDercuiosis ne was given an X-ray examination. Typhoid serum was administered students who had not received the treatment with in three years and smallpox vaccina tions were also given. Exemption Board A board was set up consisting of Dean R. B. House, Dr. W. R. Berry hill, E. S. Lanier, chairman of the self-help committee, and one mem ber of the physical education depart ment for students who wished to re quest exemption from the program for reasons other than physical unfit ness. The infirmary excused all stu dents not physically able to. take phy sical education. An eight-period day was worked out with four classes in the morning and four in the afternoon. Students were given a choice of swimming, handball, boxing, wrestSng, gymnas tics, basketball, soccer, tennis and THE FINCHLEY FOURSOME If I JACKET WAISTCOAT TROUSERS SLACKS $35 many over kinds of sports, but no stu dent was allowed to take the same sport longer than one quarter.' 4 ; v. Cards were given each student so extra hours of activity outside of class could be recorded. During each quar ter the cards were checked by the in structors and it is believed that each student averaged better than 100 min utes a week. Woollen gymnasium, constructed at a cost of approximately $640,000, had been so well-equipped since its open ing three years ago that annual equip ment costs did not have to be in creased. Cost $10,000 However, an additional $1,000 was spent for supplies. Student fees were not increased, and, as before, every thing needed by the student except shoes was furnished. The actual phy sical education staff remained the same, but a number of students ma joring in physical education were em ployed to help handle classes. Sal aries for these instructors increased costs approximately $8,000. The only other prominent increase in expendi tures was $1,000 for lights, power, water, and heat. So, all in all, the total increase in costs for carrying out the plan this year has been about $10,000, most of which has been fur nished by the state. Sadden Death Rule One of the problems in the program has been class attendance. During the fall quarter the deans of the vari ous departments passed a rule that three absences would automatically place the student on probation.
