In the Middle Again
TED WILLIAMS, BASEBALL'S CELEBRATED bad boy, is in
the thick of another red-hot controversy. Thumping Teddy has
been a problem .child ever since joining the gilt-edged Boston Red
Sox in 1939. He has time and again incurred theiU wilV of , baseball
writers "and the paying public. Now the fad amorig-writers from
coast to cpast is to debate upon just .why Williams should or should
not be peddled by the'Bosoki Yl ft;l ' " . : "
Thp majority of , sports writers; none too happy with Ted's actions
toward the press, seem to favor seeing him in hew surroundings
and, strangely enough, the Boston penmasters have been known to
lead the fight against Teddy.
' According to most reports, it all boils down to the fact that Wil
liams is too temperamental, not a team player, not a hustler, and
doesn't give a damn for the fans, his teammates, or anyone else
except Mr. W. '''.
But let's examine a few facts. '
Always a Problem Child
' - TEMPERAMENTAL TED HAS-ALWAYS been a problem child
for the Bosox. Ever since the Splendid Splinter first joined the
Beantowners he has been the center of an almost-continual 4 con
troversy. By 1940, his first full year in the majors, Ted was pre
dicting that he'd win the American League batting and home run
championship by the end of the following season. He did and batted
a cool .406 in the process.
It was along about that time, too, that Teddy was causing Joe
- Cronin, 'hen manager and now general manager of the Bosox, no
end of worry. It seems that Williams had ari inborn desire to be a
fireman, and was threatening to quit baseball in order to follow
up his boyhood ambition.
Last year, you will remember, Williams departed from his usual
verbal battle with the bleacherites in Fenway Park and took to
the sign language method of communication. After a couple of par
ticularly bad days, the fans hissed and booed at the big boy and
he promptly lifed one thumb to his nose and waved a none-too-amiable
greeting.
As one might guess, the conservative Bostonians didn't take too
well to that little gesture and the B2antown newspapers frequently
printed blasts from "citizens in the letters to the ed columns. It
seems the good Boston folk didn't want their baseball-loving-youngsters
corning home from the ball park with their thumbs to their
. nose. Also, they weren't too well pleased with the slightly colored
language used by Williams in his frequent retorts to the bleacherites.
Not a Team Player
THOSE, OF COURSE, ARE only a couple of examples of the
everyday actions of one of .the most talented hitters and most con
troversial figures1 in the long history of baseball. Boston press
hounds insist that Williams' return to the lineup during the latter
part of the 1950 season cheated the Bosox out of that long-awaited
pennant. They point to the fact that the Red Hose played only
mediocre ball after Terrible Ted returned to the lineup, whereas
they had played the most outstanding ball of the season during his
absence.
They say he wrecks team morale and keeps his mates on edge
with his unpredictable actions. Nobody, they contend, can play a
decent game with Williams popping off at the nearest bystander.
His actions in the locker room are reported to rival those of an
aged-in-the-wood bo'sun's mate.
I, for one, will go along with Williams in that those long Grape
fruit League seasons probably hurt the teams as much as they
help them, but there is no need for Ted as an individual to blast the
idea as long as "everybody else has to play just as long and prob
ably a little harder than he does and without nearly so much fuss.
If there is one good thing that can be said about Williams, aside
from his fabulous hitting ability, it is the fact that he loves kids al
most as much as he hates sportswriters. Never as much a favorite
with the youngsters as the Yankee's inimitable Joe Dimaggio, Wil
liams will, nevertheless, go out of his way to do something for a
kid. He visits children's hospitals and gives 4 baseballs and auto
graphs to any number of youngsters, shunning public approval of
his unselfish actions at all times. J
Being a little too far removed from the scene of the big league
baseball wars, I am hardly in a position to take sides in the raging
Williams controversy, but it does seem as if the Sox could lose
pennants without him just as easily as they do with him and his
$100,000 salary.

Carolinians'
Doubles Play
Saves Match
By Harvey Ritch
A sluggish Carolina tennis
team, tired from playing six
straight matches last week, bare
ly managed to squeak by visit
ing Dartmouth College here yes
terday afternoon in a dull match
despite the 5-4 score.

Baseball Team To Play
Wake Forest Here Today
Carolina's hot and cold baseball team will seek its first win in
Big Four play this afternoon when it tackles defending champion
Wake Forest in a 4 o'clock game at Emerson Field.
The Deacons are currently tied with N. C. State for the second
spot in Big Four play while the Tar Heels are bringing up the rear.
Wake and State each hold a win and a loss while the Tar Heels
dropped their only Big Four start,
a 4-3 decision to State here Sat
urday. '
Again Saturday it was the same
last week, surprised the fast-
paced locals with their poop-ball
country-club style of playing and
came through the six singles
matches with three- wins.
Carolina's mastery of the
doubles play saved the day, how
ever, when the No. 1 and No, 2
teams took matches without
trouble, giving the Carolinians
the necessary points for their
10th victory in 12 outings.
Sylvia Cops
In singles play, No. 1 man Del
Sylvia came through with a 6-4,
6-2 win over Dartmouth's Ketter
ing who baffled the Tar Heel
ace momentarily with"" his friend
ly game. The visitors copped the
next two singles when Bob Lux
enberg and Heath Alexander
dropped their matches after three
sets.
Down the line No. 4 man Bill
Izlar ran into trouble but finally
emerged with a close 7-5, 7-5 win
over Dartmouth's Dey. Charlie
Lambeth had it easier in his No.
5 singles match, winning 6-1, 6-3,
but the visitors made it 3-all in
singles play , when Johnny Booker
dropped a tight 7-5, 7-5 contest
to his opponent.
Play Today
It was the fourth match the
local netters have won by a mar
gin of one point and today's re
turn match with Dartmouth
places Coach Kenfield's charges
under the pressure of another
close contest.
After today's match with Dart
mouth the Carolina netters will
have a two-day rest until Friday
when Eastern Carolina Teachers
College meets the Tar Heels here.
Thursday's scheduled match with
Wake Forest has been cancelled.
The Deacons failed to form a net
team this year. '
PITCHING . ACE
The leading pitcher for the
Carolina baseball team is "Chal
mers Port who has hit no batters,
and has no wild pitches in 18 Vi
innings. Port is also a football
player.
jinx which wrecked the Tar Heels
in their second Rollins game and
in the home opener with Virginia.
Against State, the locals held a
3-2lead going into the ninth when
the Pack pushed across a pair of
runs for the victory.
Coaches Bunn Hearn and Walt
Rabb have not announced who
will take the mound against the
Demon - Deacons this afternoon,
but it is expected to be Co-Captain
Bill McGinn ..whose most re
cent contribution of note was a
7-6 relief win over Michigan
State.
Carolina's big gunner in today's
game will probably be Bill
Reeves, slugging gardener, who is
presently pacing the locals at
the plate with a batting average
somewhere in the vicinity of an
outstanding .350.
Managers Ask
For Helpers
Coach Carl Snavely finds his
football team with pretty much
depth these days with some 65
candidates out for spring prac
tice, but his student managers
are putting up a big kick.
Seems the Tar Heel handymen'
are slightly overworked as things
stand now and expect to have
even more chores when fall prac
tices open and a batch of fresh
men gridders turn out for var
sity competition. 4
According to Head Managers
Charlie Behrens and Doug Berg
er, . "We need help badly." In
short, the managers are issuing a
last-ditch plea for help. It's a
good opportunity to get a first-l
hand view of the games next
fall and to make the football
trips with the team.
Anyone interested in applying
for one of the manager's positions
should report to the Kenan Sta
dium Fieldhouse any day after
3 p.m.

The Brains Behind the "Electric Brains"
How Du Pont Research
engineers apply electronics to
chemical manufacture
When you hear that a scientist works
for a chemical company,' it's natural
to assume he is a chemist. Oddly
enough, the Du Pont Company em
ploys about as many engineers as
chemists for normal technical work.
Many are chemical engineers. But
when it comes to basic research on
instrumentation a very important
activity both chemists and chemi
cal engineers are in the minority.
This fundamental work is largely
carried out in a laboratory of the
Engineering Department, whereelec
trical engineers, physicists and other
scientists are deeply involved in
electronics studies. They have some
amazing devices to their credit de
vices for monitoring industrial opera
tionscontinuousiyandautomatically. Some of their ideas are spurred by
a need in an existing plant. But the
design of a iiew one may also lean
heavily on novel instruments. Take,
for instance, a new Du Pont plant
that uses cyanides. Of course, these
compounds are very poisonous. So
when the plant was being designed,
engineers -were aware of the impor
tanceof detecting accidental contam
ination of the cooling water. In fact,
the whole question of getting into
production hinged on thc problem
of dealing with plant effluents.

plant effluents. But this required a
staff of experts to check constantly
on the health of the fish. It was too
slow and inaccurate. So the engineers
developed a "chemical - electronic
watchdog.'' Twenty-four hours a
day, it automatically analyzes for
cyanide to one part per million. If an
excessive amount is present, it rings
an alarm bell. Periodically, the ma- -chine
pumps cyanide through itself
to be sure it is registering. All the
plant men have to do is take read
ings occasionally and fill the tanks
with reagents once a week.
