TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 1943 THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE THREE Tut YgltsM rB Freshmen est Heel . : On Bended Knee By Ben McKinnon PiK 'M. iffittf Sigma Chi 8-3 Not too many people know that Herb Porter was hteh scorer for basketball intramurals heldthis past quarter. Porter, a sophomore from Fayetteville, was a member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity team and collected 159 points in 8 games for a healthy average of v.o pomis per game. Sorter was playing a guard position and more than doubled the score of everyone he guarded. His score was particularly good because one game was forfeited to ATO which means that Herbert scored more in eight games than any of his opponents did in nine. The fraternity team won eight games and lost only one. Their lone loss came at the hands of Zeta Psi, who de feated Porter's team in the playoffs and went on to win the championship. The fact is granted that everyone has a right to his opinion about the brand of baseball played in the junior colleges. Probably the persons who have the best opinion concerning these leagues are the "big league" scouts, who are always on the lookout for potentiali ties. The Boston Braves are particularly fond of Mr. Nate Andrews who used to pitch for Presbyterian Junior College and then went to the Cardinals. Up too early, Nate went back to Rochester and had a couple of successful years. The Braves acquired him from the International League and he has been showing up well in spring practice this year. The Champion St. Louis Cardinals are keeping an eagle eye on George Turbeville, who used to pitch for Presby terian Junior College. George is the boy who held the Cleveland Indians to 15 scoreless innings one day When he was pitching for the Athletics. He is now at Shaw field, South Carolina. Nuf f sed ! The Carolina Relays scheduleld to take place at the end of the week are definitely indefinite. Word from Woollen is that Navy, last year's winner, has not entered the fold of entrants yet. Two other important teams are missing and probably will not enter. These teams were both expected to enter because of their closeness and the brand of track teams which they put out. The two schools are Duke and the Navy Pre-f light. They have a meet scheduled in Durham on the day of the relays and with Cornelius Warmerdam on hand to "pack in the customers" it is not likely that this meet will be cancelled. Add distress notes: Sam Arbes, the well known football player, was frantically sending out SOS signals for a taxi-cab Saturday night. Sam was located at Mclver dormitory and it was definitely raining. The cab which he finally got, in case you're interested, came by Mclver after depositing Roy Manning, freshman football player, and his date at Woollen gymnasium. It looks like there is no chance of getting a cab these days unless you're a football player ! The North and South Gold tournament for women starts at Pine hurst Thursday after a qualifying round Wednesday. Chapel Hill's Estelle Lawson Page, outstanding golfer and former winner of the Teague Award, will not enter because her husband is expecting a furlough this weekend. Oft runner-up Dot Kirby will be the favor ite this year. In town for the past few days was Hugh Morton of photographic fame. Private Morton is in the photographic division at Camp Davis and just received a ten day furlough. Hugh was wearing a sharp-shooter's badge but admits he still does most of his shooting with the camera. Hugh is a crack rifle shot and for several years was on the North Carolina rifle team and competed at Ohio with teams from other states. Missing from many state papers this season will be the crack action sports pictures which Hugh took when he had working agreements with many of the state papers. After helping Ben Snyder on the Yackety Yack, Hugh departed for Linville and will go from there back to camp. Post Script: A live at home policy is excellent and Ithoroughly endorse it. However, sports fans and columnists are also interested in national and state happenings in the sporting world. Many sports columnists make a habit of rewriting the most important bits of the day and adding their own opinion about them. Sometimes it makes a column worth even more ! What do you fans think Dozen Contests Crowd Schedule In Intramurals Town and fraternity teams combined their efforts yesterday evening at a twelve game slate occupied the intramural dia monds far into dusk. r Proving that Palmer's pitch ing is not invincible Pi Kappa Alpha ran rough shod over Sig ma Chi 8-3 in a game played way past sunset.

Zeta Psi outplayed Phi Alpha 10-3 with Peel's pitching keep ing the boys from Phi Alpha from bunching their hits. The Phi Gamma Delta No. 2 team gained a win over Chi Psi by virtue of a forfeit. Running away to an early ten point lead and adding the winning margin in the closing moments of play, NROTC No. 1 conquered Phi Chi 12-10. The Navy's No. 2 team, however, took a drubbing from Phi Delta Chi, as Brannock pitched his way to a 10-4 victory. The boys from Phi Kappa Sig played a hard fighting SAE team but came out in front 7-4. Guy Byerly is crowned hitting champ of the Murals so far this quarter as he banged out four hits for a like number of times at bat.

Phi Gam Leaders Believe Two Is Better Than One Double Mural Entries Help Gain First Rate Standing in Sports By Lloyd S. Koppel When a fraternity places a team in every intramural con testcredit is due. When a fraternity enters two squads in every court and field news is made! For the past few years Phi Gamma Delta has offered the advantages of mural athletics to -all of its members. With the presentation of two teams in every sport, the Phi Gams have earned the respect of the Mu ral Department and have made participation in these contests available to all "brothers" who so desire.

It was a walkaway for Phi Gam No.l when "Dreamy Eyes" Goodman stepped to the mound for TEP and found everything but the plate. He faced the home run hitting of Nisbett, and the three driving singles by Tillory, and was satisfied to leave the field when the game ended, the score reading 18-4. Another NROTC team, the "Bums," forged ahead in the early moments of their game, but this aggregation couldn't hold the lead, and bowed to the heavy hitting of Delta Sigma Pi, 4-3. Phi Kappa Sigma playedtheir second game against ATO, and Gus Byerly once more came to the front with two doubles and a triple. But the men from ATO turned on the pressure in the third inninsr to overcome the tiring Phi Rap's 12-8. fhe day's prize package was the contest between District No. See INTRAMURALS, page A ond in the mural listings.

Running Mate His running mate, and co- leader, Bert Nesbitt sports all the qualifications that go into making a tried and true athlete. Lanky, and swift, his post on the tag football team was well handled. He added his prowess Four Baggers Highlight Game For Both Teams In a run-laden ball game be tween the frosh and ther varsity yesterday afternoon, the varsity squad won by a score of 9-1. The game was hightlighted by three home runs knocked out by Rivers Johnson in the first, Horter in the second and for the freshmen, Deane who latched on to the first pitched ball and layed it far into cen ter field. Most of the runs were scored in the first frames of the eight inning contest. For the fresh men Deane led off with his four bagger, and only, score for his team. In the varsity half of the first, Craven Turner started a scor ing spree with a walk, Hayworth flied to center for the first out, followed by a triple for Dub Johnson on frosh right fielder Hoey's error. Hussey's fly out to deep center scored Johnson. Rivers Johnson's homer then made it 3-1. The scoring for the inning ended when Wideman fanned to retire the side. The next big inning came in the last of the fifth when Joe Green, varsity pitcher, singled to center followed by left fiel der Black's and Horter's dou bles. Horter's hit scored Green and sent Black around to third from where he scored on a sin gle by Rivers, Johnson. Paitys grounder was turned into the first out, second to first and the inning closed when McCreary and Pecora flied out, but not before Johnson had scored on the putouts. In the seventh, Horter led off with his homer. Walters singled through first base and Paty trip led to send him in, but failed to score himself when he was put to the famed yolleyba 1 team, and lt at home tryfag to gtretch his Will De waicneu ciuseiy mis Spring for his softball ability, the potentialities of which have been demonstrated in practice games. Green Racketmen Open Tennis Wars Against Davidson Carolina's rookie-ladened ten nis team, which faces the inevi table task of duplicating last sea son's fine record, started their second week, of drilling in quest of their fourth straight confer ence crown by - engaging in a lengthy practice yesterday. Coach jTohri Kenfield, who has readily admitted that, save some act by Mandrake, his current out fit would be a far cry from last year's national champions, sounded a note of pessimism as he discussed the issue of assembling an array to pit against Davidson Saturday and one to make the an nual northern trip the following week, which includes contests with the crack teams of the Na val Academy and West Point. Captain Harold Maass, John Markham, and Moyer Hendrix seem virtually assured of the No. 1, 2, and 3 positions for the open ing battle. Standouts among the newcomers are Dan Marks, hard wood star, and freshmen Ray Morris and Don Peck. Marks, who swings a mean racquet and handles himself equally as well on the tennis court as he does on the hardwood, seems the likely choice for the No. 4 position. UNC Club Plays Pre-f light Today The Saturday game between the Tar Heel varsity and Navy baseball teams, postponed be cause of inclement weather, wrill be played off this afternoon on Emerson field at 3 : 30.

Thorburn, next man at bat, kept the rally alive with a Texas league single to right and went to scoring posi tion at second on a nicely execu ted delayed steal. Haigwood flied out to the center fielder whose return to second caught Thor burn off the bag to retire the side. That made it 9-1 and that's the way the score was when the two teams walked off the field at the end of the eighth. Both teams looked much better than at any time previous to yes terday's play.
