T7: DAILY TAR HEEL. TUESDAY. APRIL 291952 - own1 in rronl by Biff Roberts, Looking Bcclc For Awhile BLUE-WHITE WEEKEND is a time when Carolina fans get hepped up over the coming football team and start looking toward the fall with rose-colored glasses. New names flash on the gridiron pic ture, some to become well known in the Carolina sports, scene and others to fade just as fast as they came up. . . But Blue-White weekend is also a time when Carolina fans look a H bask oeruthe -past y ear, glance at the record, and see just where Carolina has placed in the American collegiate sports world. It would take more than rose-colored glasses to make the over-all sports record for the year look impressive. But in passing, we can sea that there were some bright spots. , The Monogram Club saw those bright spots, too, and Saturday when the Club made its annual presentation of tropiiies to the coacl: of the year, two men who have contributed much to the athletic system here at Carolina were chosen as the outstanding . coaches of the year. Dick Jamerson, who led the swimming team to an undefeated season, was presented the trophy for being the Coach of the Year and Bill Meade, who has built the gymnastics team from nothing to a major sport in three years, was given a special coach ing award. The Monogram Club couldn't have picked two men more worthy of the honors. '.-.'. Coach Jamerson has brought Carolinaswimming teams national honors in the past years and this last year his coaching ..gave the .Tar Heels their undefeated record. In addition to his fine work here :at Carolina he has helped the sport nationally and has given aid to .the sport here in the south where it was so. weak for many years. A Construction Job FOR THE MOST PART he has taken swimmers who had very jittle previous experience in competition and built them into stars. He has had great swimmers like Norm Sper, Jimmy Thomas, and present team members Donnie Evan and Buddy Baarcke but for the . most part he and his assistants have had to build the team from boys who had little coaching in the sport before they came to Caro lina. Bill Meade's job has been an even tougher one. He came here in 1949 from Penn State and, finding that there was nt set up for organized gymnastics competition, set about to add the sport to the many which are advanced here at Carolina. He first organized a club and when that caught on he set up the school's first team in 1951. It functioned well for a first-year team and during this past -season it gained even more favor. This fapt was brought out by the 2,500 people who turned out to see the meet with national collegiate champions, Florida State. - - Part of Coach Meade's hopes for gymnastics was reached two weeks ago when it was decided that the sport merited a major letter. Thanks to the efforts of Bill Meade, gymnastics has come a long way since it was first introduced as entertainment between halves of basketball games. It is fitting that the Monogram Club picked these two men as their Coaches of the year. They have added much to Carolina athletics. ::-;:p:jp:$:i;; , :,..i;;:: ', : w., t Yn nr i r?r, mm, ... r-finllliiV.M'iril vinatMtiHttttttm&A. FOOTS ALLERDICK WEISS will be behend the plate ihis after noon when Carolina's resurging baseball team meets Wake Forest at Wake Forest in a Big Four Game. Weiss has turned in a capable job behind the plate all season, although his batting has not been up to his mark of last year. Carolina now has a 2-4 record in the Big Four. Golfers Leave Here Today For Athens, Ga. Tourney Carolina's golf team, winner of 11 straight dual matches, will leave this afternoon at 1:30 to drive to Athens, Ga., for the an nual Southern Intercollegiate golf tourney. Making the trip with Coach Chuck Erickson will be Lew Yesterday's golf match be tween Carolina and Duke was postponed because of rain and wet grounds. The dale for a future match has not yet been set. Blue-White Wrap-up JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY, including the coaches, was pleased by the performance of the team in Saturday's Blue-White game. The .backs looked good and the linemen too, and outside of a few to-be-expected mistakes the two intra-squad teams worked to gether well. There was just one thing hanging over from last year's not-too-successful team which won two while dropping eight. Fortunately, that was the punting. Bud Wallace, Dick Lackey, and Billy Williams all did some fine punting, although they were bothered frequently "by bad passes from the centers. It's a long. way from the center to the tailback, especially with the ball' as wet as it was. Under better conditions the centering and punting should be even better. We've got to remember that observers were pretty optimistic this time last year, too, before we start making any rash predictions. But judging from the performance Saturday there's a lot of basis for looking forward to a winning season. Weightlifting Team Takes Second in AAU Tourney T.h e Carolina weightlifting team took second place in the North Carolina-South Carolina ". AAU Weightlifting Champion- ships held in High Point Satur ; day afternoon. The Tar Heel squad racked up 18 points for their second place mark.

Aber nathy in the middleweight class, JLewall McCulloch in the light ;heavyweight division and heavy-weight Walter Phillips. RT7inston Salem placed first in .O? tournament with 22 points, Carolina was second with 18 points, High Point took third with six points, and Spartanburg was fourth with five points. Also competing were teams from Duke, Greensboro, and Charles ton. . n . : j - " : Abernathy and McCulloch plac ed second in the individual com petition with Phillips taking a thirdand Dorn " a seventh place. Sixty entries competed in the in dividual event. yalter Phillips placed fourth 'in the "Mr. Carolinas" physique contest. ' : : ' . Brown, Bob Black, Bill William son, Jim Ferree, Bill Thornton, and Pete Parker. Tommy Langley" High Point sophomore who advanced to the third round before being elimin ated in last week's North-South Amateur, will be unable to make the trip. His place is being taken by Thornton, who has played number - six man in many of the team's matches. The team is scheduled to get in a practice round tomorrow be fore competition starts Thursday. The medal tourney will have 18 holes on Thursday and Friday with the low 50 going into the final 3ft holes on Saturday. North Texas State, winner of the team title last year, will be back to defend it and will rank favorite. The Texans lost but one player off last year's winners. Billy Maxwell, their number-one man and winner of the National Amateur last summer, will be one of the favorites for the in dividual crown. - Other top teams. in the meet will be Florida, victor over Duke earlier in the season, LSU, Geor gia, and Duke. Carolina is given more than an even chance to be at the top, too. i en n is i earn Plays W&L On Thursday The Carolina tennis teainy aftei two consecutive defeats, will try to get back into the win column Thursday afternoon when it meets Washington and Lee. The team was scheduled to play a match with Davidson on Satur day but rain forced its postpone ment. No information was avail able as to . whether the match would be rescheduled. The Tar Heel's victory streak was interrupted at fifteen when they vere beaten at the hands of Duke, 5-4. Last week they suf fered their second defeat in a row, bowing to a strong Rollins team, ,9-0. Washington and Lee is not expected to be very strong and should prove to be the Tar Heel's sixteenth victim. Coach Kenfield's lineup will be intact again when Herb Browne returns to the number three posi tion after a short absence due to a case of measles. His absence weakened the team a great deal in the match against Rollins and the defeat . would probably not have bee nas bad had he been playing. TKe lineup will probably be Sylvia, Payne, Browne, Handel, Izlar, and Kerdasha in the singles and in the doubles, Sylvia and Handel, Browne and Payne, and Izlar and Kerdasha.
