THE SLIGHTLY OVERCAST afternoon gave Finely Golf Course
an early morning look- From 'the seventh green one could look Dast
uic aiCJ vi uiue nms lined by tall pines on each
side, and see the new clubhouse at the top. The
pines themselves seemed to protect the course on
all sides, with a few darting out in the fairway
here and there. It was a peaceful view, one that
every Carolinian should see before leaving here.
Probably a lot of people at this school don't even
know Carolina has one of the loveliest golf cour
ses in the state.
The smattering of a gallery following the
diuuua team in iour small erouDS marie harrUv
' it a sound and toe Tar HeeIs Boston College
Lk Payers had no noise to cope with. All fmrr fnr.
PEACOCK somes came over the hill on the seventh fairway,
some with a good lie, others in the rough, none in the narrow ditch!
They all pitched up to the green from their downhill lie, a difficult
shot, and most of them made the green. From there they teed off
for the eighth, a short, ISO-yard hole with a water hazard and a few
bunkers.
IT WAS THE BEGINNING of the golf season, a warmup for the
Azalea Festival Golf Tournament in Charleston this weekend. Bos
ton College hadn't had too much golf weather and was a little stiff,
but the Tar Heels have been practicing and were in good shape.
Buly Ford looked like the man to beat, playing in the first twosome
with George Mountcastle. Larry Parker, a brilliant golfer, and John
Frazier, a steady one, were right behind them. Ford and Frazier had
teaxed up Saturday to beat Patty Berg and pro Ed Tenny in a nine
hole match, and Miss Berg h3d remarked, "The Ford boy Jocks more
lie Sam Snead at that age than anyone 1 have ever seen," It was a
compliment and direct reference to Ford's powerful swing and dis
ance drives. When most golfers use a three-iron, the sophomore
from Charleston uses a six.
Chuck Erickson, Carolina's athletic director and golf coach, kept a
gimlet eye on his boys in. their first practice match. Erickson doesnt
miis a mistake, but he was glad the team was making some. ".Let
them get the errors out of their system before Charleston," he said.
"Anyhow, I'll get to chew them out, now," he added. Erickson's
gaze danced all over the course when his players weren't shooting.
-Look at the trap," he railed. "Cut off square at the bottom. It
should be rounded. There shouldn't be a square line on a golf
coarse, in fact. Everything should be a gentle curve." The man
speaking should know. Finley course has been his personal battle,
his pride ever since its conception. He knows golf, and loves golf,
even to the point of coaching the team when he does more than most
men can do with his director duties.
MOST TEAMS, golf and any other, are either at their peak or
rebuilding. Not so with Carolina's golf team, and such has never
teen the case. Last season the Tar Heels won the conference champ
ionship and had the conference individual champion in Jim Ferree.
The year before that was the same story. This season Carolina is
aiain favored to take the team title, though Arnold Palmer of Wake
Forest is a heavy favorite for the individual crown. It will be no
surprise if some Tar Heel pulls an upset, though. It would seem,
then, that Carolina is at its peak. There's not a senior on the team,
however, and the squad is loaded with sophomores. In golf, Caro
lina is at its peak and rebuilding at the same time.
Season's Opener
Freshmen Baseballers Open
Season At Carolina March 37
The Carolina freshman baseball
squad is quickly rounding into
shape, getting ready for its open
ing game of the season on March
31 against Cranbrook Prep School,
and from all indications, Coach
Kenry House is going to have a
pretty good team this spring.
No less than five highly-touted
hurling prospects are listed on
the roster, and the backstop posi
tion will be well filled. The in
field seems to be intact at the
present, but it is in the outfield
that the big problem lies.
Tommy Land, formerly a catch
er, has been moved to the outfield
and will probably hold down one
slot It is anybody's guess who
will grab the other two positions.
Right now Ed Sutton and Derwood
Ashworth are presumably leading
the pack. The other candidates for
the outer garden are Dick Hudson,
George Sexton, Bob McCracken,
and Don Gaffney.
Jack Holt, brother of the var
sity's Bruce, is the leading infield
prospect. He will undoubtedly hold
the shortstop position. Chuck
Hartman, an All-Stater from Gas-'
tonia, is top man at third base,
and Oscar Walker, also fronv Gas
torua, or Buddy Strouse will be
the second baseman. Big Russell
Perry, who can belt them a coun
try mile, will be on first
Jimmy Love, another All-State
selection while at Sanford High
School, is the leading catcher.
Sandy Archer also rates high be
hind the plate.
Four right-handers and one
southpaw make up the mound
corps, without a doubt the bright
spot of the team. Billy Powell, a
Chapel Hill boy, has been looking
fine. Jim Raugh, a big boy from
Rosemont, Penn., is also showing
up welL Arthur Stone, from Ox
ford Orphanage, and Hassell Hall
are the other righthanders. Mor
ris Hall, the squad's only lefthand
er, is trying to overcome a little
wildness at the present, but
should come along fast
Coach House beams when he
thinks of his pitchers but he is
much disturbed about the way the
outfield shapes up. He said, "I
don't have a regular outfielder.
Land, Ashworth and Gaffney have
been switched from other posi
tions and we don't know just how
it is going to work out. Dick Hud
son is a good fielder but he is not
hitting. Sexton can hit the ball,
but he is weak in running and
throwing. Sutton will be all right
after a few more practices."
The Tar Babies will play a 12
game schedule, with seven of the
contests slated at home. Wake
Forest will be met three times
while Duke and State will be op
posed twice. The other games are
with high schools.

Sweep All Matches
The Carolina golf team picked
up where they left off last year
here yesterday as thy won every
match while soundly thumping the
visiting Boston University links
men by a 29-1 score.
Bill Ford was the standout for
the Tar Heels. The Charleston,
S. O, lad literally tore the lid off
par for the first sixteen holes and,
going to the seventeenth tee,
found himself seven under par.
However, he ran into trouble on
the short three-par hole and took
a bogie four.
On the eighteenth hole, Ford
couldn't seem to find himself, and
took an eight on the par four hole.
However, he still ended up with a
70 for the afternoon, two under
the regulation for the Finley
Course. J
Also at 70 was sophomore Joe
Correll, a Winston-Salem lad. Cor
rell was the surprise of the day as
he tied with Ford for medalist
honors.
The Tar Heel linskmen, who will
travel to Charleston this weekend i
for the Azalea Festival Tourney,!
lost only two half points to the
visitors.

Charlie Aycock To Hurl Home Opener
Against Va. Cavaliers This Afternoon
By Dick Barkley
The Carolina baseball team, vic
torious in two of four contests
this season, face the Virginia Cav
aliers this afternoon at Emerson
Field. Coach Walter Rabb an
nounced yesterday that Charlie
Aycock, big righthander from
Washington, D. C, would start on
the mound for the Tar Heels.
Game time is 3:30 p.m.
Aycock, hurling his first varsity
game against Rollins last Saturday,
limited the Florida team to six
scattered hits, all singles, but lost
a 1-0 decision. Rollins scored in
the last inning to break the score
less deadlock. In that game the
Tar Heels had two golden oppor
tunities to tally, but failed on both.
On one occasion, with Connie
Gravitte on second base, Ken
Keller lined a hit to center field
so hard that Gravitte did not have
a chance to score. Then in the
ninth inning with two men on
base, Harry Lloyd slapped one out
of the park, but it was barely fouL
Gravitte also hit a drive which
people around the outfield said
was kept in the park by the wind.
The Carolina boys lost another
close one, 8-7 to Ohio Sate Mon
day morning in a game that could
have gone either way.
Coach Rabb said, "The four
games gave us valuable experience.
We also played a lot of boys to see

how they were coming along. The
trip down there every year is a
great thing, the boys really enjoy
it."
j
I Rabb was esDeciallv Dleased with
the" work of his infield. "They re
ally turned in some fine play. We
played three good teams, and I
was well pleased with our per
formance."
The inner defense reeled off
nine double plays in ' the four
games and made seven errors,
which is not too bad this early in
the season. Fred Dale drew the
applause of the crowd time and
again for his superb play at short
stop. The outfied came in with its
share of outstanding plays also.
The probable starting lineup to
day will have Will Frye at first
base, Harry Lloyd at second, Dale
at short, and either Bruce Holt or
Bobby Williams at third. Ed
Hooks will be the backstop man,
while Gravitte, Keller, and AI
Long will be in the outer garden.
