Once In A Lifetime
HILL MCGINN A SLENDER southpaw who's boon around for
lh past couple of years, but prior to this week, had never done
,ny p.tch.nR to braC about is now the toast of the up-and-coming
lar Heel baseball team-to say nothinR of the Big Four and the
fitire Southern Conference.
Oh, sure, the 20-year-old Charlotte native, has won games
.rfre lots of 'em but he had never been outstarsdinn -T.,ct
, average ballplayer with average
.nd. loday U;e six-foot 170-pounder stands alone as the only
man in the history of the Big Four, rated by many as the fastest
(ollcgiatc loop in the country, to hurl a no-hit, no-run ball game
;nd ho miased perfection only by the narrow margin of two bases
i.n balls and an infield error.
Monday afternoon McGinn found himself for the first timr
' year. lie had finished only one game up until that time, beat
ing West Virginia's Hilltoppers, 11-2, with an eight-hit job way
rack on April 8, and had turned out to be one of the big Tar
IW1 disappointments after Coaches Bunn Hearn and Walter Rabb
hid counted on the junior moundsman for plenty of action.
Had To Happen
THEN IT HAPPENED MCGINN combined all his talents, i
Md curve, deceptive changeup, and fair speed, with an extraordi
nary amount of conrol to spin the
history, i no rcat, accomplished
wasni iewnea in lustre by the
tossed a one-hitter at the ironical
out the Blue Devils, 1-0. McGinn's masterpiece was inevitable.
Th- slim southpaw could have done just as well against "the league
leaders or anybody else on that day he had alj his "stuff" and
everybody on the field and in the stands knew it almost from the
utitsct.
If McGinn was shaky at any time during the course of the game,
it was in the opening . inning when he issued his only two free
parses of the game before striking out the side. Duke hitters
managed to lift only two HcGinn pitches out of the infield in the
first six frames, so effective was the Tar Heel's hurling, and both
were gathered in easliy by ccnterfielder Bill Reeves. '
Coach Walter Rabb was lavish in his praise for the young left
hander foTlowing his 5-0 victory. "Bill pitched a mighty fine game
and looked good in here all the way," the coach said. "He stayed
..head of the batters after the first inning and had .hem hitting
down on his curve ball which he was breaking in on the handle
(to righthanders) all afternoon," Rabb added.
McGinn And Mr. Hex
MONDAY'S BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE tacked a good bit of
added lustre to McGinn's overall record which, up until that time
had not been overly impressive. The record now reads: games
pitched 11, innings pitched 57 1-3, runs 29, hits 44, bases on
balls 47, strikeouts 48, wild pitches 4, walks 4, wins 3, losses
3.
It is only fair to add, however, that the stylish lefthanded
eurvc-baller has been dogged by bad luck all year. When it looked
like he might have a good day, a streak of wildncss would pop up,
or his arm which has been ailing periodically all year would go
lame, or the Tar Heel infielders would make like halfbacks and
start kicking the ball all over the field, or the opponents would go
(.n a hitting binge anyway, tough luck always managed to sidle
out to the mound with the smooth-working southpaw.
McGinn managed to shake ol man Hex for at least a day on
Monday, and it might be that the Tar Heel slab star will be able
to chase the old boy away for good with a couple more performances
just half as good as that climatic opus which boosted the Carolinian
into the Big Four and Southern Conference Hall of Fame.
The last Carolina hurler to make the elite circle was Vinnie
Dt Lorenzo, another southpaw and Tar Heel all-time great. Di-
Lorenzo turned the trick back in 1947 when the finest Carolina
team of recent years was burning up the'southern loop. DiLorenzo
was later signed by the New York Giants and is now pitching for

By 5-3 Count

Carolina's freshman baseballers
sent the Duke frosh away from
Emerson field yesterday' on the
short end of a 5-3 score. The
game set the Carolina-Duke
freshman slate even at this point
in the season at two wins and
two losses each.
Charlie Port did the pitching
honors for the Tar Babies, giv
ing up only three hits before he
was replaced by Bill Lore in the
eighth inning.
Duke went ahead in the top
of the second when Johnson came
in on Kramme's single, and
Kramme scored on a fly out to
left field. Don Gilleland started
the ball rolling for Carolina, how
ever, in the bottom half of the
inning when he "was forced in
by a base on balls;-and Wayne
White tied up the score in the
third by driving a homer .out to
the scoreboard.
A few minutes later Jeeter Lee
scored again for the locals on
John Stowe's single. '
Duke tied up the score again
in the top of the fourth when
Johnson tallied on a pass ball,
but the situation was remedied
in the bottom of the inning when
Don Gilleland hit a two bagger;
and Wayne White scored on a
fielders choice.
The score by innings:

Track Champs Titles
Five Southern Conference
champions from last year will
return here this weekend to de
fend their titles in the big meet,
and it's a good bet that a couple
of them will be ilieved of their
laurels.
The returning champs are: Bill
Alexion of Maryland in the 100
and 220-yard dashes, Tommy
Reeves of Duke in the low
hurdles and the broad jump, Sam
Magill of Carolina in the two
mile, Bob Kirk of Carolina in the
javelin, and Hal Holder! of Caro-
Una in the half mile. ." . '
The two most likeiy to .get
beaten are both the double win
ners, Alexion and' Reeves. Alex
ion has slowed down this year
and has had difficulty beating
his teammate Bob Johnson, a
sophomore. However, there is
some doubt as to. whether Alex
ion at his best could .beat the
fast field that will be running
this weekend.
The Carolina trio of Dave Wil
lis, Frank Scott, and Bill Crim
mins form a group that wlil be
tough to beat in either the 100
or 220. Last week Willis .tied"
the University record for the 100
doing the distance in 9.8. . In
addition there will be Tommy
Woodlee of South Carolina who
ran 9.7 last week, Herb Gold
berg of N. C. State, another 9.7
man, Sterling Wingo of VPI, Otey
Meriwether of VPI, Henry Ross
of Duke, and Sheffield of VMI.
In the 220, Alexion will face
most of the , above boys, plus
George McGowan, also of Mary
land. The biggest threat to Reeves'
crowns is Carolina's 3ill Albans.
Last week Albans defeated the
Duke man by two strides- in the

a time to beat Reeves this week
