King Back From Tour; Elger With Bums
Clyde "Fireball" King, Carolina's prize gift to the major
league baseballcircle, was a visitor on the "Hill" Tuesday night
to witness the Carolina-ORD scrap. King has just come back
from a USO baseball tour in the Southwest Pacific with the Na
tional League All-Stars.
King, a Goldsboro lad, pitched for Coach Bunn Hearn's Tar
Heels back in 1943 before signing contract with the Brook
lyn Dodgers. For the past two years Clyde has been a main
stay on the Bums' hurling staff and is slated to report to spring
training at Sanford, Florida, on February 14.
The USO baseball crew left the States last December 13 and
landed at Hickam Field on the 14th. Teams played here in
cluded Schoffield Barracks, Fort Shodford, Hickam Field,
Wheeler Field and Furlogn Field. Against Wheeler Field, King
tossed the All-Stars to a 10-1 victory. In a game with Furlogn
Field, Clyde knocked a home run off Cincinnati's Clyde Shoun.
Clyde's best game while on the tour was his 2-1 triumph
over Kirbe Higby in Manila. The contest was a 14-inning af
fair and a home run by Frank McCormick provided the margin
of victory. In this the former Carolina. hurler collected four
hits off the veteran chunker.
The National Leaguers entertained 315,000 troops in 22 games
with a record of 17 wins against five setbacks. They also made
appearances in hospitals, theaters and clubs. King personally
signed 157 dozen autographed balis on the tour. -
.Not only did King put on baseball exhibitions in Manila, but
the Dodger pitcher sparked the All-Stars to a 45-38 win over
the Manila Dodgers in a basketball game at the Rizal Coliseum
with 15,000 witnessing the fray. He tallied 17 points and Ralph
Branca got 16. Kurowski, McCormick and Voiselle rounded out
the starting five.
During the course of the tour Clyde ran across the following
Carolina boys who are now serving in the Pacific. At Hono
lulu, Pete Brown, Don Hinson, Frank Murray, Hosea Rodgers
and Billy Myers. On Guam, Dallas Branch, Buddy Crone and
Rivers Johnson. At Manila, Tucker McDaniel.
While speaking about baseball, Claude "Big Steam" Crocker
. is now-in, spring training with-the Dodgers and reports that
Allen Elger, star left fielder for the Tar Heels last season, is
his roommate."
George Stirnweiss, member of the grid coaching staff and
foremost known as a second sacker for the New York Yankees
received the Sid Mercer Memorial Award for his outstanding
achievement as a batsman and his contributions to baseball in
skill and sportsmanship.
Around the countryside: A note to the wise . . . The students
planning on attending the Southern conference basketball tour
ney should make immediate plans to purchase their tickets be
cause a sell-out is anticipated. The tourney starts on February
28 and continues' on March 1 and 2 . . . Thad Ellis is again in
civvies after being discharged from the Marines . . . Del Leath
erman, assistant boxing coach, has been elected pin-up boy by a
certain women's group on the campus. Congrats.

Trackmen Beat
Duke, 66 To 33
In Indoor Meet
Ransonmen Sweep
Hurdles, High Jump
By Bob Friedlander
I Showing a marked improve
ment in nearly every event the
indoor tracksters tangled with
Duke's Blue Devils yesterday
afternoon in an informal meet
in the Tin Can. No official point
scores were kept but an unof
ficial tabulation showed a 66 to
33 -margin for the Tar Heels
counting all but the relays in
which a series of mishaps pre
vented the Carolina quartets
from finishing.
Most of the times that were
turned in were excellent' espe
cially Mark Burnham's 3:22.5
for the three-quarter 4nile run
in a race which he won with no
effort. The Ransonmen scored a
clean sweep of the hurdles, high
jump and broad jump. Duke
scored somewhat of an upset by
placing two men in the finals of
the 60-yard dash in what had
been believed to be one of the
strongest events for the Tar
Heels. Norm McLeod vaulted
twelve feet to win his specialty.

Swimmers Rack Up 66-9 Win
By Taking All First Places
Twining, Morrow, Zimmerman And Proctor
Shatter Previous Conference Times
By Herb Bodman
While swamping the Blue Devils of Duke under a 66-9 score,
Carolina's Blue Dolphins smashed four conference records here
yesterday, and set one new pool record. Duke, bringing over a
weak team, succeeded in getting one second place to prevent Caro
lina from attaining a perfect score, but the meet was Carolina's
all the way.
. Amazincr Dick Twining, whof-
starred in the Carolinas AAU
meet last Saturday, continued
his record-breaking mania by
cutting 2.8 seconds off his 220
yard freestyle pool record that
he set last week, making the
time for that event 2:14.1, a
new Southern Conference mark.
The old conference mark, set by
Carolina's Barclay in 1940, was
2:25.6.
Mike Morrow, swimming the
100-yard freestyle dash for
Carolina, surged ahead of John
ny Harvey, his teammate, in the
last width to win and to set a
new conference record of 54.9,
shaving two seconds off the old
marker established by Farber
of Washington and Lee in 1940.
