Harriers Prepare For Bute Saturday Not to Mince Matters By Harry HoDingnrorth Amid all the fuss and flurry of thfc Carolina football team losing four straight games and attempting to find the reason why, another fall team has gone practically unknown to the ma jority of the students and has won every match this season. That team is the cross country squad which has won the Southern conference title so many years hand running that it's getting to be a hard job to keep account of the championships annexed by the team. Cross country is a gruelling sport and not very exciting to a spectator who can't go out on the course and watch the progress of the runners as they battle for favored position over a four or five-mile course. The men run for only about a half mile in front of the spectators and as a result not many students are attracted by cross country meets. ' But cross country is a very im portant phase in the development of a track man for the winter and spring seasons and whether a man runs on the team or not he must still do some fall work to be ready for real competition during the in door and outdoor season. Coaches Bob Fetzer and Dale Ranson preach that doctrine to Carolina trackmen annually and 'the results have been amazing. Carolina doesn't always come up with a crop of bright freshman run ners. In fact, it's something unusual for the Tar Heels to get a man who has an unusually good record in high school or prep school track, but be cause they work hard under the di rect supervision of Ranson and Johnny Morris and the general supervision of Fetzer, Carolina always comes up with champion track teams. At the start of the cross country season prospects for' the team weren't so good. Dave Morrison, last year's ; student body president and one of Carolina's most consistent trackman, Wimpy Lewis, who still has indoor and outdoor eligibility left, and several other men either were graduated or didn't return to school. On the surface of things the Tar Heels appeared to be in for a lean session of cross country this year, but what has occurred is now recent his tory. The team started off by defeat ing State and Roanoke AC, followed up those victories with a successful Northern tour in which Maryland and Navy were defeated in three days and See MINCE MATTERS, page U A light workout was in order yes terday for the all Carolina cross coun try runners a light workout of five miles. Varsity and freshman runners alike covered the old five mile Spar rows Pool course. Mike Wise, Doug Moody, Frank Har dy, Arthur Truxes, Dick Hollander, Jim Perrin, Jim Earle, Tom Jewett, Chuck Howe, Charlie Johnson, Lamar Wood, Sim Nathan, Zenny Riggs, By num Klegg and Dan Gross were the varsity harriers running five miles, while first-year men Marvin Fairchild, Buddy Grins tea d, George Lewis, Wade Edwards, Arnold Pestronk, Neal Gil bert and Bob Williams kept pace with the easily-jogging first string runners. Coach Dale Ranson gave the harriers a brief talk, expressing satisfaction on the Tar Heels' showing against Guil ford and Wake Forest and emphasiz ing the need for easy, -relaxed running. Men such as Jim Perrin, Dick Holland er, Lamar Wood, ..Buck Marrow and Mervyn Lentz all turned in noteworthy showings against the Guilford club in the reserve ""meet and Doug Moody, Mike Wise and company turned in stellar performances against the Deac ons Monday. Doug turned in a time against Wake Forest that was equal to that of Rich Van Wagoner's against the strong Navy team. Foremost in the minds of the Caro lina runners now is the dual meet with the. Duke Blue Devils this Saturday. Duke will bring a strong-running squad of harriers to the Hill Saturday with but one purpose in mind that of spoil ing Carolina's undefeated record. The Duke team will be led by Wendy Lock wood and Henry Prof enius, star South ern conference milers and two-milers. Both of these boys finished ahead of everybody on this year's Tar Heel team in last spring's Carolina-Duke dual track meet, with only Dave Morrison of last year's Blue and White squad finishing ahead of Profenius. Henry led Rich Van 'Wagoner to the wire in the mile race, and Carolina's "Flying Dutchman" will be out to avenge that defeat this week-end. The return of Van Wagoner to the Carolina squad will greatly bolster the Tar Heel chances for victory over the Devils. Rich was on the track yester day for the first time since the Mary land meet, having "been on the sidelines since then with an infected foot. v ,' .. .

Mat Team Shows Promise Prepping For Navy Match Trying to get his. wrestling squad into the physical condition required of a team opposing Navy in its opening meet, acting Coach George Zink round ed out the first month of fall wrestling practice by putting his charges through a toUgh exercise and calhsthenic drill yesterday. Zink seemed pleased with the results of the pre-season practice and said, "With the addition of some new men out for the heavier weight to. offer com petition for the returning varsity men, Carolina's mat prospects look very good." The wrestling mentor has- empha sized physical shape through every practice session and has concentrated on teaching the grapplers the impor tance of being able to stay on the mat for the full nine minutes. Zink is con stantly improving the mat work of wrestling candidates and keeps stress ing the value of driving for a pinning hold every minute of the bout. With the assistance of varsity men he has tried to teach the newcomers some of the tricks of experienced men Newcomers Jack Jarvis, 185, and Len Levine, 165, show promise of giving Swif ty Shapiro, John Sasser and Bick ett Idol, who have been helping ,Zink with the new men, a good fight for their varsity slots. Frank Mordecai, Max Rohn, and Tom Ellis, returning varsity candidates will be pushed hard by numeral winners Ken Henderson, Stud Gleicher, and Ben Townsend for their starting assign ments. These men, all in the middle weights, are looked to in filling the gap left by Steve Forrest, Don Cle ments and Sam Gregory. Bill Redfern, numeral winner, and Hobart McKeever, runner-up in the Southern conference, look like the start ing grapplers in the lower weights. Both these men have seen action m intercollegiate wrestling and will prob ably represent Carolina when the sea son opens against Navy. Tar H Trek; Lewis eels Prepare for Richmond eturns to Action !

Rose bowl f tl ( . f SUCCESS WITH THIS FORMATION HAS INFLUENCED NUMEROUS OTHERS TOTRy IT THIS VSAR BUT not With SUCH GOOD RESULTS FAR Myers to Wright Combination Forms Chief Threat of Frosh Passing Twosome Brightens Hopes Of Coach Tatum Out of the gloom that is Carolina's general football situation today has come a ray of light in the persons of Lexington's Billy Myers and Ashe ville's Joe Wright, This yearling tan dem combination with Myers at the passing tailback position and Wright on the receiving end, has made Carolina jfans think back to the golden days of the Lalanne to Severin scoring com bination of 1939. Right now, the Myers to Wright air line doesn't begin to approach those of the famous varsity duos of the past years for, quite frankly, Coach Jim Tatum's flashy back isn't as adept in passing marksmanship as a number of his predecessors; nor is Wright as able a receiver as George Radman or even Joe Austin of the present eleven. But what Myer's lacks in consistent accuracy can be made up by hard work, and Wright has been coming along fast all season in the receiving department. Thus far this season the Tar Baby blocking back has caught seven aerials for a net gain of 79 yards and has shown a marked ability for shaking himself loose from the defensive secon dary. Myer's has thrown 31 passes this year, completing 14 of them for a per centage of .448 and for a net gain of 166 yards. This has been compiled against the N. C. State and Wake For est frosh earlier in the season and Mars Hill last Friday. On the whole, the freshman passing attack with Walt Pupa, Joe Winner and Gus Hamilton aiding Myers has shown up particularly well this far this season. The Baby backs have com pleted 26 passes out of 53 attempts for a percentage of .491 and a gain in yardage of 469 yards. Yesterday the squad worked out on Emerson field until late afternoon. The See FROSH FOOTBALL, page U Frosh Gage Squad Cut as Daily Workouts Begin , After holding only two practices a week for the first three weeks, the freshman basketball team under the direction of coaches Doc Siewert and Pete Mullis have started working out daily and settled down to real work. From the total of 75 boys who re ported for practice the first week, the squad has been cut down to around 45. The coaches expect to work with this group for a while longer before a further weeding out is done. Coach Siewert says he doesn't ex pect to have a great first year five, but the team will be an aggressive com bination. He has several boys who are looking good in practice and show promise of developing into cage stars. He said that it was too early to say who would make up the personnel of the top team as he expects several boys to show improvement and be in the run ning for the top positions.. Among the candidates who have shown up best during early practice and from whom the boys who will do the most of the playing this year are Warren, Weinkle, Gresham, Kaylor, Lance, Nidiff er, Winborne, Hayworth, Carnes, Johnson, Arning, Rouse, Hart ley, James, Henson, Vlahakis, Brown, Grouse, Bowman, Hart, Sussman, Seix-as.

One of Carolina's football cripple returned to action yesterday, but two more were left in light uniforms &a the Tar Heels went -bout the task of preparing for their jnvasion of Ricln mond and their game with Richmond University's Spiders Saturday. Wray Lewis, guard who started has first game against' State Saturday, re- ported back in beavy equipment aad took part in the: scrimmage with thet freshmen, but Howard Hodges, iied4 with Hugh Cox for Ecoring honors, and Joe Wolf, guard who missed the State game, still stayed on the inactive list. Wolf, however, looked mighty active passing the ball around the field and it, was felt that he would be ready to go, Saturday. Dr. Foy- Robertson, team physician, said he was "pretty sure"" that Wolf wocM be ready for action against Richmond. - . Hodges, with a bruised leg, took lit. tie part in the activity and looked on" as the varsity reele- off yards again!" the frosh.
