Hail the Unsung Heroes
LITTLE HAS BEEN WRITTEN about the Tar Heel swimmers
this year, or in the past but the Carolina meraen have been turning
an all sorts of record-breaking performances. They have splashed
their way to three consecutive wins this season which, added to the
3G straight wins compiled during the past two-and-one-half years,
gives them an impressive victory skein of 39 straight. The Tar Heels
formerly called the Blue Dolphins, dropped their last meet to
Georgia Tech in 1946.
Since then they have romped, or rather caddie -aii
position with a minimum of effort. Last year the Carolina swim
i 1 mers had an exceptionally easv ti
" " v winning men ten uuai
rr.cets. In none of the encounters did they yield as many as 25 points
u their foes. Virginia Military institute came closest to surpassing the
quarter-century mark with 24 points.
The elongated win streak hasn't been compiled against second
rate opposition, either. VMI, Florida Navy, LaSalle, Virginia,
Georgia Tech and other perennial pool powers have met and bowed
to the Tar Heels in the course of their amazing accomplishment.
Galaxy of Stars
THE CURRENT TAR HEEL tank crew boasts enough aquatic
stars to rival the astronomical "milky way." Norm Sper of Holly
wood, California and Dick Twining of Charlotte are, a pair of
nationally-recognized swim stars. Jesse Greenbaum and Jim Thomas,
both of Baltimore, Buddy Crone, of Goldsboro, and Steve Osborne
of Southern Pines have turned in stellar performances in supporting
roles all season and have done much to keep the Carolina squad
near the top of the national swimming heap.
Sper is the holder of the Southern conference diving champion
ship, and was the conference backstroke champ in 1947. He won
the National AAU diving championship in 1944 and 1945, and last
summer missed the Olympic diving team by the narrowest of
margins, .29 points. Norm has deserted the already-strong diving
ranks this year to bolster the comparatively-weak backstroke crew.
Twining was named to the All-America swimming team in 1946
and 1948 and seems a sure bet for this year's AA squad. He is a
105-pound Senior and holds sprint records all over the country.
Dick is captain of the present Tar Heel aggregation.
South Atlantic Title-Holders
Thomas and Greenbaum, aside from being home-town buddies
have another thing in common. That being the fact that they both
hold South Atlantic AAU records.
Greenbaum, former Tar Heel captain, holds South Atlantic
records in both the 50 and 100-yard freestyle. He has received honor
able mention in the All-America balloting in past seasons and is
looking better than ever this year. Thomas is the holder of the South
Atlantic 220-yard freestyle record, and the 100-yard National junior
backstroke title. He has deserted the backstroke ranks, however,
and now is used exclusively in the distance events by Coach Ralph
Casey.
Other outstanding performers are John Bippart, South Orange,
N. J., a junior backstroke artist; Ronald Basescue, Brooklyn, N.Y.,
sophomore distance man; Sam McCauley, a Chapel Hill lad who
won his letter last year as a diver, and Robert Hutton, a senior
distance man from Greensboro. Dan Breeden, Bennetsville, S. C,
lettered in the breast-stroke division last year along with Jerry Cook
of Chappaqua, N.Y. Tommy Drew of Raleigh, James Merika, Shaker
Heights, Ohio, and Eston Norwood, Bennetsville, S. C.
In the Beginning
SWIMMING AT THE UNIVERSITY began back in 1939 when
tho first varsity crew was formed. Since that time the Tar Heel mer
men have licked every Southern conference team in sight and
branched out into other sections in order to schedule tougher op
ponents. The Carolina tankmen dropped their last dual meet to a
(conference foe back in the year of the sports inauguration here.
They lost to the hated Blue Devils of Dook that year, but haven't
vjbeen successfully dunked by a loop competitor since.
J ' The Tar Heel record against non-conference teams is equally
impressive, and the Carolinians hold an advantage over every team
they have ever met. Few, if any, other schools can make that state
ment. Of the numerous opponents the locals have met the most
outstanding foe of them all is the Naval academy. The Navy series
has always been interesting and has provided more than its share
of excitement down through the years. Carolina now holds an oh-so-slender
edge over the Middies. The series stands at 4-3.
Although defeat has been almost arT unknown thing to Carolina
swimmers, they have enjoyed only four perfect seasons; those being
in 1942, 1944, 1945, and 1948. The Tar Heel tankers have turned
in excellent showings in national events. National college freshman
records are held by former Carolinians Denny Hammond, Percy
Mallison, Jack Eshleman, and Bob Ousley. The latter ran out of
eligibility last year and is now the frosh swimming coach.
Davidson Here,
For Loop Meet
In Woollen Gym
By Frank Allslon. Jr.
The Carolina wrestling team
will entertain the Davidson grap
plers in Woollen gymnasium this
evening in an attempt to gain
their first win of the season.
Oscar Gupton and Carrol Fish
er, holdovers from last year's
squad were elected co-captains
of the Tar Heel team in an elec
tion held yesterday afternoon
preceeding the final pre-meet
practice.
Freshman squads of the two
schools will meet at 6:30 with
varsity action scheduled im
mediately after the conclusion of
the frosh meet. The meet is open
to the public and pass books are
not required.
Coach Chuck Quinlan's Tar
Heels, losers to State in their
only other competition this year,
will go into tomorrow's meet as
underdogs to the also winless
Wildcats. Davidson's only other
action was a defeat at the hands
of Maryland. Several of David
son's top men, however, did not
wrestle in that meet.
Guplon's Status
Oscar Gupton, '48 holdover
who was recently injured in an
auto accident, is scheduled to
compete in the 165-pound classi
fication tonight. This will mark
Gupton's first competition of the
year.
Joe Augustine has been select
ed by Quinlan for the unlimited
match. Augustine worked the un
limited in the State meet, losing
to Musser.
Big John Stoioff will take the
floor in the 175-pound match.
Stoioff was victor by decision in
the State meet.
Others grappling for Carolina
tonight will be Paul Edmondson
(121). Charlie Harless (128), Ed
Turnley (136), Carrol Fisher
(145), and Phil Kemp (155).
Freshman action will find the
undefeated Tar Babies in a match
against the yearling Davidson
Wildcats. This match is t rated
as a toss-up.
The frosh matmen, coached by
former varsity star Irv Zirpel,
hold wins over the State fresh
men and Greensboro high school.
Both Tar Baby victories were
by large margins.
Frosh lose Boardman
Barney Boardman, who had
been a standout in previous
meets in the 165 weight group,
recently quit the freshman squad
due to a conflict with his studies.
The Tar Babie's will doubtless
feel the loss of Boardman, but
Tommy Coxe, former l'75-pound-er,
is down to the 165 class and
will take Boardman's place to
night. Zirpel has also found a man
to grapple" in the 121 class. In
both of their previous meets, the
Tar Babies were forced to for
feit that event due to the lack
of a participant. Tom Williams,
however, will do battle with
Davidson's 121 -pounder tonight.

Davidson Is Next
For Local Cagers
In Friday Battle
Carolina's Tar Heels will try
to make it victory number 13
Friday night when they meet
the Davidson Wildcats at 8
o'clock in Woollen gym.
The cagers seem to have awak
ened from their "State dream"
and last night found their win
ning ways again as they made
.it two victories over their Virginia
foes by swamping VPI, 78-59.
The set shot seemed to be the
thing and Carolina's quintet really
poured them in.
Carolina has a six-two record
in the conference now and a vic
tory over the Wildcats would
keep them within striking dis
tance of the 'Conference leaders.
The Carolina rooters seem to
have come to life in the past few
games and Woollen gym really
rocks now with shouting and applause.
With three more games before
the all-important scrap with
Duke in Woollen gym on Feb. 5,
Coach Tom Scott's charges will
have time to iron out all the
wrinkles and be ready to give
the Blue Devils a rough night
With their minds on one Big
Four defeat that was a hard
pill to swallow, they should be
just right to turn the tables on
the Devils.
The team has come through
fifteen games so far without any
serious casualty and will be in
tip-top shape for Davidson Fri
day night. The man to watch
and the man Carolina will have
to bottle up will be Davidson's
all - conference center Buddy
Cheek.
Two Big Four Players Dropped;
Professional Grid WarRagesJ
Choo Choo Okay
Infirmary officials reporled
,yeslerday that Charlie Justice
has had a complete physical
checkup, and that no serious
ailments or bodily defects had
been deiecled.
From United Press wire reports)
Bob Duff, Duke basketball for
ward, has been dropped from
school for academic reasons, Ted
Mann, director of athletic publici
ty said today. Duff was one of
Duke's best ball-handlers and was
regarded as one of the most pro
mising players in the Southern
conference.
The Wake Forest basketball
squad today mourned the untime
ly loss of star guard Willard
Kaylor, the team's high-scorer.
Kaylor scored 163 points in 15
games, but school officials said
he was ineligible for further
play.
Grid War Continues
The professional football bat
tle between the All-America con
ference and the National league
took on renewed vigor today as
Anthony Morabito, president of
the San Francisco Eorty-Niners
of the AAC, warned the Nationals
of a "battle to the end." Morabito
warned all that the AAC would
be stronger in 1949 as a seven
team league than at any time
in its three-year history.
The selection of Ivan William
son as head football coach at
the University of Wisconsin to
replace Harry Struldreher has
ended a month-long search for
a man to bolster the Badgers'
sagging grid fortunes.
While contradictory statements
flew back and forth regarding
a June title fight offer made to
Joe Louis, the heavyweight
champion battled Elmer (Violent)
Ray last night in an exhibition
bout in the Orange bowl. Ray,
a hard-hitting Negro from Hast
ings, Fla., had long waited the
chance to prove his fitness for a
championship bout.
Audrey Patterson Honored
Audrey Patterson, sprinter from
Tennessee State college who
raced in the Olympics, was singled
out yesterday for the greatest
number of honors on a 13-mem-
ber feminine All-America track
and field team picked by the
National Amateur Athletic union.
She was picked in the 100-meter
and 200-meter runs and was also
named to the 400-meter relay
team for a total of three positions.
Manager Lou Boudreau of the
champion Cleveland Indians, ac
knowledged as one of the top
shortstops of all time, signed his
1949 contract yesterday and be
came one of the top-salaried
players of all time.
The 31-year-old Boudreau sign
ed a pact calling for more than
$80,000 for the coming campaign.
Veeck is expected to have
somewhat more difficulty in sign
ing Southpaw Gene Bearden,
who won 20 games as a rookie
last year and added another
triumph in the World series.
Bearden, who was guest of
honor at Monday night's annual
dinner given by the Cleveland
baseball writers', said he would
have to receive more money in
1949 than he had been offered.
He suggested that a bonus clause
based on attendance be inserted
in his contract.
Wildcats Shift Game
With Methodist Quint
Coach Bill Grice announced
yesterday afternoon that the
game scheduled last night be
tween Chapel Hill high school
and the Methodist Orphanage in
Raleigh has been cancelled.
The game scheduled for the
Orphanage gym was postponed
because of exams. It has been
re-scheduled for Saturday night
in Raleigh.
The Wildcats play host to Ox
ford here on Friday night in
a Class A encounter.
