(' -" -.v. .-.-..: . - , :- : f Co-Captains White, Cathey Live Up to Ancient Adage Hard Work Repays Pair with Honor Of Track Captaincy By Ben Snyder If erer the ancient adage of "if you donl succeed try, try again" needs repolisiing for the benefit of some dis heartened athlete or another here at the University, it will be time to bring fortfc the stories of Roy Cathey and Dick White, recently elected co-captains of the 1942 Carolina track team. Both men furnish striking testimonials for the worth of the old truism and each haa a success story all of his own. The saga of Roy Cathey, in particu lar, reads much like a Frank Merri weH norei. Cathey, who came to .the Hill after graduating from Charlotte high school in 1938, had never com peted in a track meet prior to his ma triculation at the University. It was only at the insistence of friends that he entered the intramural ineet im the spring of his freshman year aid he is frank to admit that he surprised himself by winning the 300 yard ran in the excellent time of :35.9 and taking a good second in the broad jump. The performance was enough to get the track coaching staff on his trail ad the following fall Roy re ported with -the cross country squad for conditioning work. Last spring hard work and diligent practice brought the Paw Creek track man down to :51 for the quarter-mile run, bat it wasn't until this season that he came into his own. Catney served notice that he was ready to go in the very first meet of this season by finishing second in the 440 behind Paul Douglas in the Princeton-Carolina dual competition. From that point on until the ed of the season, Cathey was in at the finish of most of the quarter xaile events and by the end of the sea son he had amassed 30 points to fin ish foarth in the individual scoring among the Carolina trackmen. In finishing fourth in the confer ence 440 at Williamsburg, Va., Roy posted hi3 best. time of : 49.5, and came back later on in the afternoon to anchor the mining mile relay team. In the inter-class meet, Cathey finished sec ond ia the 660 behind Dave Morrison and his time of 1.21:5 made Coach See WHITE, CATHEY, page U SENIORS Have your picture made in cap and gown as you receive your diploma from the Governor.

Zeta Psi, SAE Win in Water Polo Zeta Psi defeated Beta Theta Pi, 17-5, and SAE licked St. Anthony, 24 3, in water polo matches yesterday af ternoon.

Erhard Carl Jaeger, son of a Har vard professor, who formerly served in the firman armv. fias become a trainee in the United States army. MOHJLTON Net Prospects Seem Strong For Next Year Despite the graduation of four reg ulars this June, all factors seem to point to a better than average Carolina tennis team for 1942. First two positions on next year's team will probably be filled by Harris Everett and Ham Anthony, who were recently elected co-captains by the squad. Both these men were undefeat ed in dual matches this year and as a doubles team they won the North-South and Southern conference tournaments. Behind Everett and Anthony is ex pected to be Marshall Chambers, sen sational freshman from Cincinnati, touted as the best tennis prospect at Carolina since Bitsy Grant burned up the local courts a few years back. At present Chambers can trim most of the varsity regulars and it is almost cer tain that he will play an important role for the netmen next spring. Two rising juniors are strong bets to complete the rest of the team. They are Jack Markham and Tom Wadden. Both have served in the majority of this year's matches. Wadden and Mark ham served a successful apprenticeship as reserves this year and are the logi cal men to step into two of the berths left vacant by the departure of Zan Carver, Chuck Harnden, Frank Rob inson and Don Neill. Two other players who must not be overlooked are Kenny Evenson and Harold Maas. A sophomore, Evenson would in all probability have been on the varsity this spring had it not been for his ineligibility. If he is eligible next year he will rank along with Wad den and Markham as outstanding con tenders for a regular post. Playing right behind Chambers on the freshman team this year, Maas has displayed sound, easily-produced strokes and is capable of upsetting any of the present sophomore candidates. 42 Students Pass Life Saving Test The following 42 men have passed the instructors course in life saving.

The Tar Heels won seven of eight games in the State, losing only to Duke. Other teams to defeat Carolina were Navy, Maryland, William and Mary, Cornell, Michigan and Duke.

It's past history now, but that's exactly what the team did, and it was done the hard way. With a somewhat stronger pitch ing staff but with a much weaker hit ting attack, the Carolina nine opened the season with the customary weak and ineffective showings against Northern competition. Carolina got to fapnngneid lor a 5-2 victory but was dropped a couple or so days later by Cornell, 4-2. Wil liam and Mary, one of the weakest teams in the conference, garnered a 2-1 decision in a game the Tar Heels should have won several times. Beaten Again Four games later the Tar Heels felt the wrath of Michigan, 6-3, in another game they should have "won. Les Tomlinson made his first appear ance in a regular collegiate game and hurled six-hit ball, but his efforts weren't enough. Loose fielding by the Carolina team cost Les the game. Wake Forest and Davidson were de feated before the Tar Heels played to a 9-9 tie with State and lost a 5-4 de cision to Maryland. Realizing after the Maryland game that they had a good opportunity to win the conference and perhaps the State crown, the Tar Heels buckled down and won six of the final eight games. Navy and Duke were the vic tors over Carolina in those two de feats. ' . Duke Beaten . The Duke series, in which the Tar Heels defeated the Blue Devils in two out of three games, was . supposed to have climaxed the season for Carolina, but it was discovered that Carolina and Duke were tied for the conference crown. The final game of the season be tween Carolina and VMI took on the appearance of a game for the cham pionship of the Southern conference, instead of an anti-climax affair. Responding to the occasion, Caro lina defeated the Cadets, 3-2, to cap ture the league title.

Coley received an invitation to play in the game from Coach Malney of Johns Hopkins. He is still not certain whether he will be able to play, how ever, since the game is to be played the night following commencement here. The teams are composed of 22 of the best lacrosse players in the North and in the South. Stars have such foremost teams as Princeton, . Yale, Harvard, Hobart, Springfield and many other colleges represent the North, while stickmen from such schools as Johns Hopkins, Maryland, Loyola, Duke, and Carolina defend the South's honor in lacrosse. It is largely on the basis of their showings in this game that the All-Americans are chosen. Ray Brown," Duke's center played in last year's contest, and it was his per formance in the game that won Ail American honors for him. Cohey and Ray Brown are again rep resenting Carolina and Duke this year. As co-captain of the Carolina team, Finkel sparked it to many important victories which culminated in the In dians winning the Dixie league title. Finkel was a great player all season, and gave his two greatest perform ances in the LoyoIagame and the first battle with Duke. He gave a magnifi cent display of running, passing, fak ing, and shooting to score four goals and pace the Indians in their 10-3 vic tory over Duke in the most important game of the season. In the next game, against the powerful Loyola team, he went on a rampage. Performing before a home-town crowd, he .scored five times in a sensational exhibition as the Tar Heels bowed 11-5. The North-South game will be Coley's grand finale in college lacrosse. Today's Mural Schedule Water Polo 4:30 Zeta Psi vs. SAE; K Dorm vs. Grimes.

Mural Stars Average ;395 In Batting By Earle Hellen .The powerful Kappa Sigma team which has dominated play in the fra ternity softball league for the last two years placed four men on the intra mural softball team selected by the officials this year. . This year's array of stars combines excellent pitching with a powerful bit ting attack and airtight fielding. The team batting average is .395. In the infield Roy Lee Connor of Mangum was given the nod over John Thorpe for the first base job. Both men had high batting averages for the season, Out Uonnor s neignt ana long distance clouting gave him a slight ad vantage over Thorpe, the Zeta Psi star. Mac Edwards of Kappa Sig was given the call at second base. A bul wark in the Kappa Sigma infield for the entire year, Edwards hit .300 and played a flashy game afield. Bill Con ley, last year's all-campus second sack er, is the shortstop. Conley of Pi Kap pa Alpha changed positions this year but the change didn't bother his ex pert fielding as he played a bang-up game for the Pikas all year. Nick Austin of Kappa Sigma rounds out the. infield by holding down the hot corner at third base. Austin was chosen over Ed Shytle of Everett dorm." With a season batting average of .414, Austin is the best hitter in the infield, besides being a polished performer afield. Buddy Wills of Chi Phi and Henry House form the catching department. Wills sparked the Chi Phi team this year, hitting .412 and playing an alert game behind the plate. House played for the Town No. 2 club and was the most consistent hitter on that club. Jim Lalanne of Kappa Sig was thje outstanding choice for the short-fieliT-er's post. Sweet Jim hit the ball at a .iSiM rate tms year, mciuaing several extra-base hits. A speedy fielder, he covers a lot of ground in his short field position. Toby Webb of Lewis dorm was chos en for the left-field spot. Webb led the Lewis club at the plate this year, hitting .391, and is a fast and depend able fielder. In center-field is Ed Barrier of Ay- cock who walked off with all hitting honors this year. He belted opposing pitchers for a total of 13 hits in 21 times to the plate for an average of .619. His power at the plate "was enough to put him, in center-field, but Barrier is also a speedy and accom plished fielder. Charlie Baker of Lew is takes the final outfield position in right field. Baker was one of Lewis top players of the year and had a .341 hitting average. 1 The pitching corps is well taken carer of by Jimmy Hambright of Kappa Sig, Tommy Dill of DKE, and Ed York of Mangum. Hambright hasn't been beaten in two years and his rec ord stands as one of the best in intra murals. His effective pitching baffled his opponents completely this year. The sensation of the murals this year, Tommy Dill of DKE pitched two no-hit, no-run games during the sea son, an accomplishment itself. He al lowed only 15 hits in seven games he pitched,, winning six and losing one Ed York of Mangum is the third mem ber of the mound staff. York is a lit tle left-hander who was outstanding in the dorm loop. He won six games and suffered no defeats. : - : - . - . - ? . - .s-.'.-. .-.-.--w--.--.v.i-.-.- " ft 5 A
