Bishop And Scurlock Will Have Busy Summer
Carolina track stars Wayne Bishop and Dave Scurlock
have quite a -smnmer lined ujvThercTl be plenty of running
Tor these two juniors and iii what warmer climates than Tex
as'and California. V . . ..
bishop and Scurlock will to Houston about the first
of June to begin preparations for the Houston Meet of Cham
pions on June 7th. From there they'll go to Berkeley, Calif,
for the National Collcgiates and on to Bakersfield for the
.National AAU on the 21st of June-
Both arc eagerly awaiting this big trip. Bishop's main
concern is his weak knee which has hampered him consistent
ly since last vear. The Greenville, N. C. native is hoping he'll
be fully recovered bv the summer. If he is at full strength,
look for the names Bishop and Scurlock to appear quite often
oxer the warm months as the two boys continue to add na
tional piestige to themselves and their school.

Tennis Prospects Look Better
Valdimir Chernik, the Hungarian tennis star who took
osc-r as coach here last vear. will be coming back to Chapel
Hill for another season in the next few weeks. Cemik (pron
ounced ChcrniM has been working at the Everglades Club
In West Palm Beach over the last few months.
Things arc' looking much better for the tenuis coach this
season. List vear he inherited a team that had been hit hard
bv giaduation and he and Ham Strayhorn had their hands
inll trving to icbuild Carolina tennis to its previous high
siamling.
This season, the team will be well stocked with fine po
tential and should be a much better club. Many of the out
standing high school netters of a couple of years back are now
ready for varsity action here. Ficshman prospects also look
eiy good. It should not be long before Carolina tennis again
leaches national prominence. ,
Major League Predictions
With the Grapefruit League in full swing now, the time
has (ome for sportswriters around the country to begin spe
culating about major league baseball winners come World
Series time this fall- ,
Last year about this time we picked the Yankees and the
Braves to meet in the Series, but we predicted the Yanks to
take it in six games.. So. with determination to "do better"
in to8 we'll give out prognosticative instinct another twirl.
In the American League, it looks like another great year
lor the Yanks and we figure they'll win the AL without too
much trouble. After that, it looks as though the White Sox
Kill continue their role as "always a bridesmaid" and finish
second.
Ted Williams should move the Boston RcdSox at least
into thhd place. Fourth place is a toss up between Detioit
and Baltimore but figuting the Orioles are still a year away
we'll say Detroit fourth and Baltimore fifth. It will take
more than Frank Lane to help the Cleveland Indians and we
can see no better than a sixth place finish for the Injuns. Kan
sas City and Washington should round out the cellar teams
in that order-
The team that made Milwaukee famous should keep the
suds bubbling for another year in the beer city, but it won't
be easy. We look for St. Louis to run a' mighty close second
with the transplanted Los Angeles Dodgers third. If muscle
bound Cincinnati can get some consistent pitching, the Reds
will make fourth place at least-
We see a fifth place finish for the Philadelphia Phils,
with the San Francisco Giants in sixth, the Pittsbuigh Pirates
seventh and the Chicago Cubs in the cellar.
In the scries, we'll string along wih Yanks again in seven

Billy Martin Impresses
Detroit Manager Tighe
Pesky observed. "If he continues
to improve at this rate, he's a
cinch to make a good shortstop.
I've been working with him to
throw with a three-quarters mo
tion and to sort of circle the ball
as he; comes in so that he can
get it away with more power.
"Billy learns fast and I haven't
to play shortsop like I did
cheat a little. By that I mean,
he' 11 have to move in a step or
two on certain hitters, and in cer
tain situations.
"I'm confident Martin wll fool
a lot of people and make the
switch. He wants to beat you all
the time and he's always trying
something., The others liste I to
him bencause he has tha baseball
isinct and he knows what to do
all the time.'
LAKELAND, Fla. (AP)-Jack
Tighe, manager of the Detroit
Tigers, asked a question Friday . .
"Where on earth did Billy Martin
get the reputation as a bad boy"
"If Martin is a bad boy, I'd
like to have a whole team of such
bad boys," Tighe declared. "Bil
ly's been here two weeks and al
ready he has become a good in
fluence on the club. He's the kind
of guy this club has needed for
a long time. All the guys are
crazy about him. He's pepped
them up. He's a born leader. He
has a confidence that's contagi
ous. "Martin already has done things
you don't look for from a player.
He's even got Al Kaline singing in
the bus now. Al hasn't sung for 20
years."
A question was asked of Tighe
. . . Will Martin, a second base
man all his working years, make
it as a shortstop?
"Well," replied the Little Skip
per, "Chuck Dressen says he can
not. Casey Stengel says he can.
I'll take Casey's word for it. From
what Billy has shown so far, I'd
say he can. He's quite a kid. He's
certainly fooled me. To be per
fectly frank, I had some doubts
about him but so far he's done
everything a good shortstop has
to do. He has the right attitude West, Tom Katich and Wally
and he certainly has the desire, j Prince and George Marinkov.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. The Tar Heel
swimming .team, finished the sec
ond night of competition in the
Eastern Collegiate Championships
being held - at Annapolis, Mary
land, with four individuals and the
freestyle relay team making good
showings.
Tony Schiffman, a junior from
Greensboro, led the. way for the
Tar Heels by capturing a fourth in
the 220-yard freestyle in 2:14.3. In
Thursday's action, he finished sec
ond in the 1500-meter freestyle
clocking 19:40.1. This is considered
excellent time.
Mac Mahaffey copped a fourth
in the 200-yard butterfly in 2:17.1.
He, along with Kit Mercer, will
swim in the 200-yard breaststroke
tonight.
In the diving department, Tar
Heel Ned Meekins finished fourth
and Pete Reynolds eighth:
In the freestyle relay, trie Tar
Heels finished second with Jeff
Zwicker, Bill Zickgraf, Bill Roth,
and Walt Rose doing the honors.
Their time was 3:30.4.
The times were the best for most
of these men this season-. Some of
the officials at the meet believe
that Schiffman's time in the 1500
may be enough for All-American.
Tonight, the Tar Heels will swim
in four events. The team of Brent

Last year Navy ranked second ia

in spring training, but doesn't have
any new strategy up his sleeve.

and shows me more every time
I see him in action." He was the
leading frosh scorer during a 4-1
season last year.

"a big success." He is counting on
sophomores to reach their poten
