FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1947 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Page Three ar Heel. 0 Season Ag ain 1" niiity loday sport spins - with IRWIN SMALLWOOD NOT MANY SPORTS fans have been dreaming of a white opening day for baseball at Carolina this season, but just that seems to destined for the Tar Heels who do things with the lit tle horse-hide that represents America's favorite game. It was the prospect of that that greeted "Coach Bunn" Hearn the day aft er he made his appearance in Chapel Hill to take up the reiens of the Carolina baseball team for his 18th season. Hearn, who several weeks ago suffered a heart attack at his home in Wil son, returned to Carolina to assume his position as head coach Tuesday, and chilling winds first kept him from the diamond and then a surprising snow flurry turned up yesterday afternoon to almost assure a postponement of today's scheduled opener with the Trinity nine of Hartford, Conn. Walter Rabb, intramural director, has been working as coach of the dia mond crew until Coach Hearn could take over, and today his products are ready weather permitting to make their first appearance of the season. The 1947 edition of the Tar Heel baseball-club, which is expected to be a decided improvement over last season's team, has been battling the weather man all quarter but has nevertheless been worked into a very promising combination. The strong point of the Carolina baseball ers will without a doubt be on the mound, where four outstanding moundsmen are ready for action, namely Tommy Andrew, Monk Whiteheart, Hamp Coleman and Vinny DiLorenzo. All four of these hurlers are lettermen and have had an abundance of ex perience on which the prospects of a successful season can be based. And the coupling of a good infield combine and some good hitting with this four some of starting pitchers will almost assure just that one of the best sea sons in years. Too, there are quite a few monogram men vieing for the infield and outfield positions, adding to the potentiality of the local diamond team. However, despite these good prospects, a maximum of experimentation is anticipated in the initial warmup engagements experimentation in an effort to obtain a really well-balanced working combination. This switch ing may be the cause for a few losses early in the season, but such is some thing very necessary and will mean the difference between a winning and losing club later on in the campaign when the games mean more and more. Lineup Switches Feature Grid Drills Carolina's Silver Fox football tutor Carl Snavely has a lot of top ranking teams to "fox" this season, and the sly producer of winning grid teams is wasting no time in his spring (spring, that is, when the wintry in fluence is driven out) practices. A good example of this is the opening day moving of Jack Fitch to tailback and Fred Bauer to wingback. Fitch, the "jumping jack" scatback, saw only limited activity last season due to a shoulder injury, but during the trek ahead he will be called on more and more for action. So his weight and ability is being tried from the tail Lack spot, and footballing of Fred Bauer, a 1945 end standout, is being given a chance at wingback. These are by no means permanent changes, mind you, but are experiments and good indications of things to come namely switches galore in view of one of the best football teams ever to take the field under the Blue and White of Carolina. It was one of the finest group of prospective Tar Heels ever to take the field in spring practice Wednesday, and that's admitted even by King Carl himself. Spirit and spunk alike are in abundance as the Carolina "destiny" team gets set for all comers. NOTING MATTERS. Southern conference baseball has already com menced in full fury, and coming out of that has been two surprising de feats in the loop for State's Red Terrors, the best in the Big Four last season. Furman and Clemson were on the winning ends of the battles, Furman edging the victory on a grand-slam homer in the ninth inning . . . Jack Hussey, Tar Heel baseball slugging prospect, lifted a drive over the left field wall in practice last Saturday." Is it an indication of more to come? Coach Chunky Chuck Quinlan has accepted an invitation to address the Monogram club initiation next Tuesday night . . . What's this about the new Monogram sweaters being of inferior quality to those of past years? . . . And don't forget the Monogram club dance Saturday night. Its time for the athletes to socialize for a change.
