Varsity Tennis Squad Battles State Today; Seeks 56th Straight By Mark Garner Following a one-day rest, Coach Kenfield will send his varsity netters after their 56th consecutive victory this afternoon on the local courts when the Tar Heels meet State's racket men at 3 o'clock. When the season opened, many court fans were doubtful of the ability of Kenfield's protegees this year for the team had lost two of its most valued performers in Ken Eyensen and Marshall Cham bers. Evensen was called into service and Chambers' back injury of last summer has not healed sufficiently to allow him to partici pate. But the Tar Heels pulled through Tar Heel Nine Seeks Third Conference Win Against VPI Club This Afternoon Not to Mince Matters By Harry Hollingsworth One of the most important things in developing a winning team is to get the best available material; but such hasn't been true in turning out winning Carolina track teams. The University has had very few natural track athletes who had par ticipated much in competitive track before coming here. Most anyone connected or interested in track here knows the story on Bill Cor pening, who once did H)8.5 in the 70-yard high hurdles, one-tenth of a second off the world record. But few people are acquainted with the rise of Jim Kelly and Harry Lew is, both members of this year's team. Kelly, a junior, was practically an unknown on the track team before the Southern conference indoor meet back in February. Dick Jamerson, P. A. man for the meet had to ask a by stander during the quarter-mile run Kelly's name. The unknown junior surprised everyone by taking third in the event behind Duke's Werner Brown and Carolina's Mike Wise in a record-breaking race. And he topped off his performance with a brilliant leg on Carolina's winning mile re lay team. In the Carolina Relays last Sat urday Kelly ran a leg on a winning Tar Heel team. The story of Harry Lewis begins back on the intramural fields last year. He was a whiz in the mural track meet and walked off with most of the sprint medals. He qualified in the finals of the indoor meet in the 60-yard dash, and is a consistent scor er for the Tar Heels in the sprint events. Roy Catfiey, co-captain of this year's team, is another example of developing a track man from prac tically nothing. Roy was also found in the intramural track meet. There are many other Carolina trackmen who had little experience before coming here. But the examples cit ed are enough to show that track men are not necessarily born, but can be made. The credit for making the track men riehtfullv belones to Coaches Dale Ranson and Johnny Morriss They work with the team practically every day during the school year. Cross country in fall, indoor track in winter and outdoor track in spring. their first four meets losing only five matches. Two 8-1 wins over Cornell inaugurated the season, Kalamazoo succumbed by the same score, and St. Johns college of Brooklyn took two singles matches from the locals. State is not expected to offer too inuch op position to the netmen today and Elon, to be played tomorrow, should give the Tar Heels another win. Everett and Anthony as Usual Co-Captains Harris Everett and Ham Anthony will fill their usual spots as the one and two players in today's match and Harold Maass, promising sophomore racket wielder, seems to have clinched the third spot. In the matches thus far, Jack Mark- ham, Tom Wadden and Hunt Hobbs or Cliff Tuttle have rounded out the Carolina starters. Markham is prob ably the only one of these three who will definitely see action today for Kenf ield is anxious to give some of the less experienced netters a taste of ac tual competition. Thus from the large roster of eager but untried players the coach must choose his starting com bination. Hendrix Wages Battle Moyer Hendrix is waging a battle royal for one of the berths and is apt to crash the starting lineup today. Yes terday he dropped Wadden in challenge match and seems headed for the select group of starters. Other men who may see action today are Joe Greenberg and Hal Berk, who have been showing up well in challenge matches and may break into varsity competition before the season progres ses much further. This afternoon's baseball game with Virginia Tech is a very im portant tilt for the Tar Heels.

Smith Scores Impressive 10-4 Victory Smith dormitory's Softball team held down the combined team of Al derman and Kenan, yesterday after noon, 10-4, in the second game of the coed intramural competition. Hitting throughout was notably good, but Smith's Hood, in the first inning did the finest batting, although she was ruled out by - violating the safety ruling of slinging her bat. In the first inning, Smith piled up four runs, mostly on errors commit ted by the Alderman fielders. Justice, Simon, and Cameron collected one base hits from Bass, pitcher, and Ken nedy worked her for a base on balls. In Alderman-Kenan's half of the inning, Hamblen, catcher, who had singled, and Bass scored. With one walk, four singles, and four errors, Smith rounded out its scoring in the second inning, making six runs. Alderman was held score less. In the third and last inning, the losers did their finest work of the afternoon. Relief pitcher Harris re tired the side in order. Hamblen, Al derman's star catcher, homered, driv ing in Bass, for Alderman-Kenan's final runs. It was the first home run of the season. This afternoon the Chi O's meet the Pi Phi's at 5 o'clock on the coed field. Scholastic Net Tourney Here WHO IS THIS GUY HOG AN?

Under the new plan of the associa ion a player may enter either singles or doubles, but cannot participate in both divisions as has been the case in the past several years. This new ar rangement should tend to make play all the more spirited and exciting in both divisions. Entries in both singles and doubles have already been received from Bur lington, Lexington, and John W. Hanes of Winston-Salem. A number of other teams are expected to enter before the deadline on Wednesday, April 15. R. J. Reynolds High of Winston-Salem and Central High of Charlotte have monopolized most of the honors in re cent years. Reynolds made a clean sweep of singles and doubles titles in 1938 and 1939 and Charlotte copped both championships in 1940 and 1941. The tourney preliminaries will get under way the following Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. The finals will take place on Friday Zeta Psi's Take Lead For Frat Mural Crown Everett Holds Edge In Dormitory Race On a basis of the intramural swim ming meet completed yesterday Zeta Psi and Everett have taken over first place in the race for the fraternity and dormitory championships. Zeta Psi, capturing first place in the swim ming meet, pushed Kappa Sigma off the top position which it had held all year. The Zetes now have 776.4 points, a bare lead of 14 points over Kappa Sig's total of 762.4. Everett with a total of 775.5 points toppled Graham into second place with a present total of 744.5. There were several other changes in the top fraternity positions. ATO, which placed second in the swimming meet, moved up three positions to threaten the two leaders. Sigma Nu advanced over the Dekes and follows the fourth place Phi Gams. Phi Del ta Theta advanced from eighth to seventh and St. Anthony from tenth to ninth, while SAE fell in the stand ings from fifth to eighth. In the dormitory standings Medical School made the only climb besides Everett's when it moved into third place with 717.8 points.

While the seriousness of the arm in jury is unknown, his wing has been troubling him of late and the bad arm may bench the right-handed speed ball slinger for several days. Pitchers Use Curves The pitchers were curving the ball for the first time yesterday as the Tar Babies played a three-inning intra squad contest, continuing to prep for Friday's battle. The team played good ball for the most part, but many mis takes are still being made, and Coach Tatum will have his hands full for the next few days eradicating the errors. Joe Green opposed Lewis on the hill in yesterday's game, with George Spar ger taking over after the New Jersey flinger was forced out of action by his sore arm. All three of the twirlers showed up well, with the biggest im provement being shown by Sparger. George is a big strong lad with plenty of stuff, but was troubled by wildness earlier in the year. " Yesterday, how ever, he pitched one inning and struck out the side in short order, wasting -s very few pitches. His improved con trol was very noticeable and he demon strated that he ought to be able to notch a few triumphs for the Tar Babies be fore the year is over. Green May Start , Green seems to be first in line to draw the starting assignment against the Baby Terrors Friday now that Lew is has developed a sore arm. Green has the easiest motion of all the frosh hurlers. Joe has a good assortment of curves as well asa deceptive fast ball. His only weakness is in pitching with men on the bases behind him. Tatum intends to work with the right hander on this and it should be cleared up with little trouble. The rest of the starting nine is also shaping up gradually. Walt Pupa and Andy Karres have two of the outfield berths sewed up. These two hefty. footballers have been taking care of right and center field for the first string nine in practice and have handled their tasks capably. Both men are heavy hitters and Pupa especially has been slugging the apple with consis tency in the daily workouts.' Rivers Johnson, one of the few left-handed batters on the club is the logical man for the other outfield spot, but if a left-hander starts on the mound for the opposing club, Frank Wideman will probably start in left. First Base Battle' The same situation prevails at first base where a heated battle for the first Pupa, Karres Are Certain to Play Outfield Posts , team spot is being waged by Grits Gresham and Bob Shaw. Grits is a right-hand hitter while Bob bats from the opposite side of the dish, and the decision as to which man will start at first rests with the choice of the other team s starting hurler. Johnny Colones and Billy Myers have the area around second base covered nicely. Colones is a sure bet to start at second, for he has shown touches of brilliance around the keystone sack all spring. Myers is most widely known for his feats with the pigskin last fall, butthe Lexington speedboy can also do tricks with the old horsehide. Billy has done a lot of shortstopping for the frosh thus, far and promises to do more. - Third base creates another starting problem. Ernest Hackney has been playing a lot of ball at the hot corner but Jim Hayworth has also done a swell job of third-basing. Hackney is a little weaK witn tne wooa, wnue Hayworth is one of the best hitters on the squad. The High Pointers po sition seems to be that of a utility in fielder for present. Jim can play any infield position just about as well as the man already there and he will probably step into the shoes of the inf ielder who proves to be weakest at his respective position. i Charlie Moore Is Hearn's Mound Choice Seeking to find a third starting pitch er for this season's baseball nine, Coach Bunn Hearn announced yesterday that Charlie Moore, long, lean righthander, would start this afternoon against Vir ginia Tech in Carolina's third confer ence game of the season. The game will start at 4 o'clock on Emerson field. Monk Whiteheart, who was the first question mark of this year's team, has provided the answer to his pitching ability. Red Benton, the only starting hurler Carolina had at the beginning of the season, is already respected and known in conference baseball circles. And now it remains for Hearn to find a No. 3 pitcher for the team. Charlie Moore is the logical choice, but he will be appearing in the first varsity contest of his career when he toes the mound against VPI today. As a freshman, Moore was a valuable member of Jim Tatum's team. Last year, however, he hurt his foot early in the campaign and was not used at all. And then, too, Hearn had Chesh ire. Benton and Feimster and Moore J wasn't exactly needed. The junior righthander is a fast, curve-ball chunker, and in his fresh man pitching days showed the ability to keep the ball low-away from the hitters. In practice this season he has demonstrated much of the same stuff. Moore is really the only other pitcher Hearn has. Jack Hussey, sophomore outfielder, will not be able to pitch this season. And in all probability he will never pitch. An injured bone in his elbow, according to Doc White, team physician, will prevent him from hurl ing. It is the result of an old injury. Today's game is the first of three scraps in the space of four days for the Tar Heels. Carolina will oppose Da vidson Friday in an important Big Five and Southern conference game and Sa turday Carolina meets Hanes Hosiery Mill in Winston-Salem. Joe Moody, fast-ball artist, is sche duled to be on the firing line for VPI this afternoon. Moody is one of the three pitchers the Techmen used in de feating Ohio University last week. VPI's record this season is one victory in two starts. The gobblers lost the first game of the two-game series with Ohio. Carolina's probable lineup will be Hearn, ss; McCaskill, If; Johnson, lb; Reynolds, cf ; Hussey, rf; Honan, 3b; Morris, 2b; Myers, c; and Moore, p. One of the brightest things about the team so far has been the play of Dub J ohnson on first base. In the Maryland series he made 35 putouts in two days. That should be some sort of a record in these parts. His hitting, too, has been a bright feature. Coaches Hearn and Fetzer have a difficult job on their hands in figuring out where to play Bobby Gersten and Louis Hayworth. Either can play the infield or outfield at any position. Mc Gaskill's hitting gives him the edge over Gersten in the outfield and Mor ris' steady play rates him above Hay worth at second. Iowa State college enrollment for the winter quarter is announced at 5,904 by J. R. Sage, registrar.
