JULIAN BEALL J HIGH POIN University Football Sta The North Carolir A NNOt'NCBMENT of the app football coach of High Poii climaxing a great collegiate foo center and captain of 1929. Heal with the opening of the 1930 gridi Julian Beall has starred for four years at Carolina. After playing two winters with the Columbia high school Capitals, Beall entered Carolina and won a berth on the freshman team. He played varsity ball regularly in his Sophomore and Junior years, and, leading the Gamecocks as a Senior, he rose to his greatest heights in Southern football. HIGH HONORS Last fall, besides being placed on the all-state team, he won recognition on the Associated Press second allSouthern team and was chosen to share the pivot duties on the Upper Conference team with Finney of Tennessee in the annual New Year classic between the Northern and Southern divisions of the conference. Beall is not only a brilliant football player. He earned a letter on the track team, and is at present fighting for a position in the outfield of the Gamecock baseball aggregation. Other than his virtues as an athletic, Beall has achieved prominence in the University scholastic and extra-curricula circles. He is president of the f student body and a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. During his junior year lie served as vice-president of tlie class. U.H.O. AYERS STARS IN GRIDIRON FINALE With Hollis Ayers, fast stepping freshman halfback, providing most of the thrills of the afternoon with his numerous twenty and thirty yard dashes off tackle, and with Brantley receiving a long pass from Parrott accounting for the only score of the game, the last scrimmage of the spring football grind was held last Friday afternoon. Both tea played brilliantly 011 the defence, but their offensive tactics were unable to threaten the goal, other than the pass that Brantley tucked under his arms and carried across for a touchdown. Brantley had recently been shifted from tackle to a position on the flanks. LAVAL PLEASED Coach Laval looked 011 with smiling approval as the men cavorted on the gridiron and showed worlds of improvement due to their six weeks of spring practice. Numerous freshmen and reserves have come out during the winter drills and have placed themselves among the leading prospects for the WHO machine. Coaches Thrash and Rawl have been working with the men since Coach Laval shifted over to the baseball diamond and have concentrated their efforts on improving the fine points of the line and backfield. The lineup for the game last Friday was as follows: First Team Second Team Jones c Richard: Furr t DeVaughar Freeman K \rensoi C'oriel) c (iilmorc Correll lenkim Adair I Pniilkenhurj Kwing e Ilrantle; Reynolds <| I'uiTott Fleming Ii \vers (}.

I Sports Parade BY MELVIN KARESH JJIGH POINT college athletic authorities, who chose Julian Beall to guide the gridiron destinies of their Panther eleven next fall, should sit back, rest peacefully through the summer, and forget all of their football troubles. They have chosen wisely, and are getting a man who has a broad knowledge of the game from all standpoints. Beall can look back on a career of six brilliant years of service on the gridiron, four at the University and two in high school competition. He has played consistently, sometimes with teams of championship caliber, more often with teams of mediocre proportions, but whatever the strength of the team, his genius on the gridiron has never diminished. ?: * All-Round A I/PHOUGH center has been liis only position, lie has played enough football to understand the ; other positions 011 the team thoroughly. A strong line will be assured tlie High Point eleven, but not . only a line. Beall knows enough about , backs from his experience in stopping them to give them some valuable in. struction in elusiveness. We are glad to see Beall get the foothold in the coaching profession that he is bound to gain with such a responsible job immediately upon his graduation, and we are certain that his value to the game did not terminate with his last game for the Game, cocks. ? Rumor, We Hope Vyi l KTHKR there is anything to the rumor that Coach Billy Laval will coach basketball next year is yet a secret, but it is our hope that it will remain merely a rumor. For one man to coach three major sports in a university the size of South Carolina, is not only an almost physical impossibility but it borders on the ridiculous. Football itself oc| cupies the whole year's time for most of the Southern conference gridiron [ mentors, but some of them vary the menu and coach one other sport, such as Mr. Laval does baseball. Rarely ever, however, does one man take care of more than two sports. Athletic seasons have been extended 1 to such a point that they tend to overla)) and if the same coach is in charge 1 of three different sports there is bound ' to be a conflict and one of them will ' inevitably suffer. South Carolina is really suffering from a dearth of coaches right now. If there were a sufficient number, the present staff could concentrate more ' on their favorite sports, and better | teams in each division would be on the way. Besides that, other sports that are sadly neglected in the University, could be brought into the athletic curricula. Wrestling, golf, swimming, and fencing are only a few i that fall in that category. U.H.O. GAMES MOVED UP TO AVOID CONFLICTS Due to a conflict in the track schedule, the two baseball games scheduled with Clem son college on May 1 and May 2 have been changed to April 28 and April 20. to be played in Columbia. Carolina will engage the Tigers in four games this spring, the two above mentioned, and two others that will be played i:i the Tiger lair on April 18 and April 19. '[tfjpl ^. > JULIAN BEALL Captain and mighty center on the Gamecocks last fall who has accepted the^ position of head coach at High Point college. He was named second all-Southern last year. Heated Games At Field House When Tourney Moves On Another Week Of Basketball Begins As Fast Tilts Feature Monday Card With Tenement 15, Kismet club, and Phi Kappa Sigma scoring victories over Tenement 22, Phi Epsilon Pi, and Phi Beta Delta, respectively, the beginning of another week of hectic intramural basketball competition shuffrom behind the curtain last night. Tenement 15, in the first game of the night rolled up a total of twentytwo points and with Cruni and Vaughan leding the charge, snowed the Tenement 22 team under, allowing it only sixteen markers. Kismet club then ruled the court over the Phi Epsilon Pi boys and, except for a final spurt by the latter, held them in hand throughout the game. The game ended with a 22 to 14 count in favor of the Kismit club. HAIRLINE VICTORY 1 he third game of the night between Phi Kappa Sigma and Phi Beta BASKETBALL SCHEDULE The following schedule has been released by Jack Crawford for the week's intramural basketball activity: Tuesday night: (at the gym) 7:00, Phi Pi Phi vs. Lexington; 8:00, Ten. 19 vs. Chemistry Assistants; 9:00, Ten. 1 vs. Ten. 20; (at the Field House) 7:00, Shandon vs. Yankee club; 8:00, Sigma Alpha Epsilon vs. Alpha Tau Omega; 9:00, Kappa Alpha vs. Pi Kappa Phi.

Delta favored the latter crew until late in the game when the I'hi Kappa Sigmas gained a two point lead and refused to yield, the game terminating with a 2'.\ to 21 score in their favor.

Freshman Baseball Squad Answers Call : Numerous Candidates Turn Out For Initial Practice And Limber Up Freshman baseball material turned out yesterday afternoon and Coach A. B. Stoney sent them through a light workout, limbering them up and letting the men get the "feel of the ball" before they undertake any hard drills. Many of the Biddies have been working with the spring football squad and baseball practice has been delayed for several weeks, but they arc in excellent physical condition due to their football training and should be ready for competition in a very short while. Newman and Fleming seem to be the leading candidates for the pitching jobs on the frosh nine. Both of them have had experience in high school and amateur league hall. Among the other candidates to report were: Harry Freeman, Brantley, Whitton, and Hartin for the outfield positions; Atwell and Reynolds, at second base; Jimmy Jones at first base; and Joe Benton, at third base. Ernest Correll and "Moon" Musselwhite are backing up the plate and should lend plenty of strength to that position. 17. B.C. l!r<|iiflliurt (2) ?

JK PREPS [S FOR SEASON es Baseball Squad And 'actiee Games J KARESH enuous conditioning with a full day afternoon the Gamecock diaend and rested for another liard or the Clemson game on March 28. Coach Billy Laval divided the squad into two teams and sent them against each other in a hard practice Saturday afternoon. The game ended with a deadlock on the scorecard, 7-all, neither team being able to gain a comfortable lead at any period of the afternoon. TWIRLING GOOD Stoddard and Brighatn opposed each other on the mound for the first five innings, and when replaced by Nolan and Keels, the score was tied at 2-all. All four hnrlers worked well as may he indicated by the smallncss of the score. The line up of one team that seems to be of first string caliber was: DoneIan, catcher; Sikes. first base; Vaughan, second base, Edens, shortstop; Laval, third base; and Nolan, Boineau, Harley, outfielders. Captain Barney Smith and N. B. Hicks, leading candidates for the catching post, were out for a few days last week on account of injuries, hut they will return soon and bolster the prospects considerably. SUBS WORK At present Holman is pressing Sikes for the first base position, and Porter s hard on the heels of Vaughan around the keystone sack, but Laval at third >ase and Hdens at shortstop seem to be sure bets. Beall, Smith, and Wallace are three promising candidates for the outfield, and when they develop some power at the bat, the outfield will be strengthened greatly. Outfield candidates are none too numerous, and the outlook at present depends largely upon the pitchers to perform in the outfield when not on duty in the battery. U.8.O. ALLEN FIRST IN TENNIS TRYOUTS With the first college match of the season scheduled here next Saturday afternoon with the netmen of Clemson college the tennis elimination matches were replete with keen competition last week and the leaders suffered some drastic upsets. Oscar Allen, the tall net sensation from Charleston, defeated Captain Oulla last Monday and advanced to first position. Elliot Crum, however, found Allen penetrable and shoved liim into second place, but Allen recaptured the lead when Crum forfeited a second match. Marion Holman, another strong contender for a place among the leading four, has been advancing steadily and he now holds third position. NEW MAN A. Collins, a new man in the University tennis circles, was nosed out l?y "Chick" Foster Saturday afternoon, hut the diminutive star showed a withering drive that will be hard to resist with a bit more experience behind it. Tryouts for the doubles team will begin Monday afternoon and continue until Saturday, Jack Crawford, tennis supervisor, announced. Dr. Reed Smith and John Roddey will coach the doubles teams. The ranking of the men in the singles elimination at the end of last week was as follows: Oscar Allen. Elliot Crum, Marion Holman, Jack Oulla, "Chick" Foster, A. Collins, Oscar D. Black. u. 8. o. Smith and J. W. Green; middleweights, Hartin, J. R. Gillespie, G. R. Griffiths, David Peele and Paul Martin; light-heavyweights, "Cowboy" Urquhart and T. F. Brantley; heavyweights, (none yet listed). "Bang!" went the rifle at the maneuvers. "Oo-oo!" screamed the pretty Kirl?a nice, decorous, surprised little scream. She stepped backward into the arms of a young man. "Oh," said she, blushing, "I was frightened by the rifles. I beg your pardon." "Not at all," said the young man. "Let's go over and watch the artillery."
