"I'm very proud of my boys for the showing they have made this year," Itanson, continued. "We have a lot of young boys on the team, and we should have a fairly good season next year going by the performances turned in this year by returning men." The Tar Heel track team proved itself at least a strong third in, the conference, and with a host of outstanding boys coming back, Hanson can expect a good season next year. Carolina did as pre dicted in- the Southern Confer ence Indoor Games, taking third place behind powerful Maryland and Duke to kick off the 52 sea son. - . Los To Princeton The- Tar Heels lost to the fin est . team in the Ivy League, Princeton, to start their . dual meet schedule, but Coach Ranson wasn't ! dismayed because; the Ti gers ; had beaten Duke by the same score, 81-50. Carolina track men ' had already 'put in a ' few outstanding individual perform Whe el "Of Athletic Fortune Spins Right N umbers For UNC Finally by Jake Wade That wheel of fortune we've been hearing so much about re cently, with its eternal spinning, spinning, spinning, finally got around to "turning out the right numbers for the Tar Heels last week. Consequently, great was the rejoicing in the sabbatical calm on the Raleigh highway sec tor of the campus, sometimes known as Sports avenue. As you may have heard - by this time, although., tennis and golf do- not. capture too many headlines, ' Carolina teams ' . in those sports made a 1 clean sweep . in the " week end conference championship.' 'Ateeter Ironically, the Tar Ileel stay-at-homes vwere unable - to see ihe shows. Golf was at Winston-Salem, tennis at ' Davidson' -'''; ' 1 There asj; indeed, a show here, too. ; That :wa$ ', the conference track meet, a jyery splendid and well conducted , spectacle. . The only trouble was, ; the Tar Heels had to ' be satisfied with third place in that one. Our side had to sit r , stand in agony , as both Maryland's champs, and Duke's runners-up came out ahead of us. Not inT 20 years had a Tar Heel track team failed to finish at least second. And there was i Coach Bob Fetzer, the great win iHer' of the past, on his last stand j j & Carolina track mentor, unable j j 16 do i Anything about it, a cir- ! cumsiance . that made the occa iiphfeyen! rnore sombre. ; . !

In the relays', Bill Walker started "one If the finest and most amazing track careers in the. history of Carolina," accord- ling to Ranson. Walker, a senior, inrew ana won the javelin for the i first time in competition in the relays, and he won six more times in a row before losing. Walker had the enviable record of seven wins and two seconds at the end of the season. "We had a lot of boys that didn't get much credit," said Ranson, "but a good deal of our team was built on them." Ranson cited such work horses as Bob by. Bell, Sam Jordan, Bill Cor nell, and others. Outlook Dims Maryland University beat Car olina in a dual meet for the first time in history in the track team's second dual .meet, arid the out- look for. 1952 dimmed a good deal.. One bright spot in the meet, was Carolina's Bobby Barden, who won the two-mile run. Barr den, was - only a freshman, and has proven to-be one of the best ticed Joel Shankle, a Duke fresh .distance men in the Conference, man who nearly beat ' Carolina breathing on Buehler's neck and I then shouldering him on the stretch until he crossed the finish line ahead by a whisker. The 440 was Stu Johnson's race in a very large way, with that blonde speedster making the most of it with a 47.9 victory, as fast as it has ' been run in the nation this year, according to the latest .NCAA - stax. Johnson was run ning -.--under Y.PI's: spooky, Hal-, loween colors. : His team, inciden tally, took, more first places than any in the meet although ; it fin ished only fourth in ,the scoring. West . ; Virginia's ix Larry; Hunt; dethroning the veteran Jack Un terkofier of Maryland in the shot I put and ; also winning the discus, and more especially- a strapping lad named Joel Shankle of 'Duke, who scored; 16 points Jfor 'high in dividual honors,' were big shows. Shankle appears to be the closest thing to Bill Albans, who used to make these conference meets one man spectacles, to appear on the locaj scene. Closest, in talent, un derstand, and not 'temperament. Joel is a preacher's son and not given to those quaint Albanisms which always enlivened but to.6 often embarrassed.- ; "- ----' " ' - ', ' Other Injuries ! - Brigham was not5 the only Tar Heel cripple to ' come through handsomely in the spring sports w'indups. Del Sylvia; in breezing through a .passel of tennis matches at Davidson Friday, pulled up lame with an' aggrava tion of an old Wound he sustained months ago in a' Wrestling match. -Moving rCrating VrSIiippirtg -frSforcgc Phono -2159 for .Frco ' Estirnate -j- George Morris indicated things to come by giving Maryland's great shot-putter, Jim Unter kofler, a fit before barely losing. Eatery in the Southern Confer ence Championships, Morris set a new Carolina record and beat Unterkofier, but he still didn't win,. West Virginia's Larry Hunt throwing close to 50 feet. , The Tar Heels. broke into the win column in its third meet, swamping State, and showing great power in the hurdles and dashes. Frank Scott, slowly re covering from a collapsed lung, was a standout, as was Sonny Beall, Harry Brown, and Bill Cor nell. Beall ,had already fooled the experts by beating the, Terp's j great hurdler, Marty Cohen. . Even Record Carolina evened up the record against VPI a few days later, and the Tar Heels were exceptionally strong in the field events, with Barry Rizzo and Bell putting in fine performances.- Carolina - opened the month of May by bowing to the arch enemy Duke always a tough one to lose The Tar Heels first, no- It's one of those things that comes and. goes and Coach John Kenfield was afraid it meant a finish to him in his bid for . the Southern Conference singles crown. - As it turned out, Del woke up in good shape, the next day and disposed of Tommy Boys of Wil liam and Mary with a brilliant performance.' This week the on ly tennis hand hereabouts hob bling on a cane has been Coach Kenfield, himself. He came baek from Davidson with an -attack of the gout or reasonable facsimile, right when he was celebrating Carolina's singles and doubles tennis win and , rigging up the Vic Seixas dinner. . Then there -were the Carolina golf- victories, Tommy Langley's Lindividual conquest and the team win,: fashioned - on Jim JFerree's papa's swank playground at Win-ston-Salem. i.AU very;-very nice, teyen if -we. didn't get invited io the baseball playoffs, whiciv Duke handled 'so sensationally. .

Gene Brigham, a 'fine quarter miler, ran the. half for the first time against Duke, and almost won in spite of a pulled muscle in his leg. Brigham practiced the half after that, and in the Conference Championships he won with the fourth best time in the 2$ year history of the meet. Swamp Virginia The track team pulled its aver age back up to .500 a few days later by swamping a weak Uni versity of Virginia squad. Romas White continued to be a pleasant surprise, and he did a fine job of pole vaulting against the Cav aliers. 1 In the final dual meet of the season, the Tar Heels were to face Pennsylvania famous in the east for its powerful track teams. Carolina was on a strange track, and had a nine point" handicap, because Penn insisted that the hammer throw be one of events. There was. no Carolina entry- to stop Penn from taking, a clCan sweep. The Tar Heels came through in fine style, though, to beat Penn and bring in a credit able, 4-3 dual meet record In the Conference Champion ships Carolina took third, but it wasn'ta case of not improving. The Terps had too great a team for the Tar Heels to beat, and Duke's Shankle kept them in sec ond place. ) ft Mr T-O-PrA-Y ONLY is Oingbam Sport Shirts t i -l j ( t '.1 -: , 1 !
