Ail PERSON SLANTS By J. S. MERRITT Carolina Has 23 Games The Carolina baseball team will play twenty-three games this season. Among the intersectional foes will be Pennsyl vania, Harvard, Navy, Cornell and Michigan. Penn, Harvard, Michigan and Cornell will come to Chap el Ilill, while the Tar Heels will go to Annapolis. Carolina will also meet Duke, the Southern conference champions, in three games. Prospects, it seems, at Carolina are only fair. The boys will have a good infield, good outfield and good hitters, but pitcning and catching will hardly be above the average. It is hard to make a team unless that team has a good pitcher or two that can deliver. George Radman is about the only hurl cr that Carolina has who has seen much work in the box. o—o—o—o Finland Says “Yes” Not long ago Finnish officials announced that they would hold the Olympic games this year if their country was not actually at war. Now that the war is over it is thought that Finland will hold the Olympics and we have an idea that the Finns will do a good job of it. If Finland does this it is up to America to cooperate in every way possible by sending a splendid team. Finland is a great country and deserves the best o—o —0 —o Ed. Hamlin Here Sunday Ed. Hamlin, former sports editor of this paper and now a married man, was in Roxboro last Sunday. Ed. is pounding out a sports column for the Burlington Times and is doing a good job of it. Os course, he does a little more than the sports column, but maybe not too much more. o—o—o—o Spring Football Games Right now a number of spring football games are being staged in this section. Fans are not permitted to see these games and we suppose that there is a good reason for that. On the other hand we will wager that the Duke-Clemson practice game yesterday could have attracted over 10,000 fans. . ' _ Good Fresh Hamburgers ....

He used to beat out his five or six grand a year in tough fights wherever he could find one and was perfectly happy with his lot, assuming all the time that this was about as much as he could expect. He didn’t lose of ten, either. Then he suddenly finds himself thrust into a match for the title and he winds up now among those furtive citizens who dread the morrow—'good lold income tax day, with Uncle Sam standing there quite determined to play some tunes on the cash register. And if yuo don’t think Mr. Whiskers has got Godoy, you don’t know Mr. A1 Weill, Godoy’s manager. He quite unreasonably has made for for Mr. Weill—close to $30,000 as a re sult of Godoy’s having permitted himself to be exhumed from the pugilistic graveyard and sent out with Louis at Madison Square Garden last month. He has oapu italized right up to the hilt on his having stayed the limit with the champion and the money is Still rolling in. Moreover, he may 'box Louis again during the sum mer at Detroit for still another payday. Besides the purse he received from the Louis fight here, Godoy has made a movie which netted him $5,000 and a whack at the re. cepits in SpanfeKapeaklng coun tries, he has done some broad casting and appeared in vaudeu vflle with his wife in a song and dance act, end wQI cash in mfore on a tour. Mr. Weill expects Godoy to grass around $75,000 on* way and another.

Lost by graduation are the colorful Rd:d twins, Carl and Bill, and smooth -stroking Eddie Fuller. Bill Rood and Fuller won a! majority of the state and confer ence titles last season.

Dave Early, letterman and ca pable reserve, abb will not be available this season. Early did not enroll in the university this year. Strong Nucleus Co-Captains Charlie Rider and Bill Rawlings, Walter Meserole, and Wilford Gregg will form the nucleus for the current team. Rider, who won the North-South amature singles at Pinehurst last spring, will probably be the No. 1 player. In 1939 he alternated with Carl Rood at the Nos. 1 and 2 posts. A Winston-Salem boy, Raw lings is expected to be at the No. 2 spot and Meserole at the No. 3 post. The remaining three singles positions are wide open with Gregg and a quintet of promis ing sophomores waging a nip and-tuck fight for starting assign ments. The sophs are Harris Everett, Melville Jordan, Ham Anthony, Blair Rice, and Joe Greenberg. A transfer from Kenyon col lege, Everett was ineligible for freshman competition last season. He is generally considered one of the most promising players of the younger crop. Jordan, a form er state high schcl-1 singles chanp ion, Anthony, Rice and Green berg all starred en Carolina’s team last spring. o 56 Settings For “Strange Cargo” A penial colony covering four acres, and including the streets and whaTf of a South American seaport in addition to the prison buildings, giave Metro-Goldwyn- Myer construction crews one cf their most extensive outdoor jobs when sets were built for “Strange Cargo.’’ the film which -> s '<-' jm A 8 ' ■> > : -v ■: v wKmsm. t Erie Tipton Here is one of Duke university’s baseball players, Eric Tipton, wbo went straight to the majors.
