.SNEAD LEADING
in JACKSONVILLE

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March IS.
-PeSlammin' Sammy Snead, the
betting pro from Hot Springs, Va,
fired a brilliant eight-under-par "a
Friday to take the lead in the initial
round Of the $4,000 Jacksonville
open golf tournament.
His 1888 card bettered the Brent.
wood course competitive record by
one stroke.
In second place with 65 was Ed
Oliver of Taunton, Mass. In third
place with 67's were Pete Cooper of
Gainesville, Fla, and Chick Har.
bert of Detroit.
Playing under a hot sun, Snead
was in full stride and was unbeat-
able. He racked up six brides on
the first nine holes, and collected
an eagle and a birdie coming in.
The long-hitting pro, defending
champion of the meet, started the
round by sinking a chip shot from
four feet off the green for a birdie
three. On the next hole. 451-yard.
er, he got another birdie by sink
ing 2O-foot putt, and then pro.
ceeded to card another on the 37O-
yard par-four hole.
Snead took a uncover par four
on the l30-yard fourth hole when
he three-putted., Then he steadied
down again and knocked down bir-
dies on the 445-yard par-five fifth
hole, the 160-yard par-three sixth
and the 410-yard par four eighth.
The slammer got an eagle three
on the 447-yard 18th hole when he
sank 22-foot putt.
Snead's score was all the more
significant because the players
were required to lift them as they
lay with no fairway tee-ups, per.

Corcoran Substitutes
Bat For Bogey In Golf

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March
15-P)-For the benefit of pros
and buffers alike, PGA Tourna-
ment Manager Fred Corcoran,
Friday, coined a long-needed
golfing term.
The word is "bat'-meaning
one over par.
For many years, Corcoran
pointed out, the word DOGGY"
has been incorrectly used by bot
golf players and writer's. 1t
does not mean one over par,
but means the score which a
fair player would maxi on a
given hole.
The golf glossary, with its
new addition, stands:
Two over par-"Buzzard."
One par par-"Bat.'
One under par-"Birdie."
Two under par-"Eagle."
Three under par-"Double
eagle"
Hole in one-''Dodo."

The Tar Heels didn't win the

Ben Dilworth of Charlotte was

Pete Mullis, coached the Phantom

Tar Heels Garry Fine
Tradition To Garden
UNC Has Won 423 Games
Against 139 Lost In Past
Quarter-C Century

CHAPEL HILL, March 15.-The
White Phantoms Of the University
Of North Carolina will carry with
them fine basketball tradition
when they enter the Madison
Square Garden tourney in New
York next week in playoffs to de-
termine the national NCAA cham
pinoship.
During the last Is years, for in
stance, the White Phantoms have
won 423 games against 139 losses
Tor a percentage not to be sneered
at. During that same period they
have won the Southern Conference
championship eight times and the
South Atlantic championship OH an
other occasion.
Tourney Moved
The Conference tourney was
moved to Raleigh in 1888 and since
then the Tar Heels have won the
tournament championship four
times and have reached the semi.
finals nine times-which means
they only failed five times to
reach the second round playoffs.
Before the tourney was moved to
Raleigh in 1888, when the Southern
and Southeastern Conference we're
created as the result of a split,
Carolina had made a highly i'm
pressive record in the old Confer
ence. tournaments in Atlanta. The
Tar Heels were crowned cham
pions in the Atlanta capital in 1922
and again in 1924. '25, '26.
1922 Team
Bill Fetzer coached that 1922
team that started the championship
ball rolling, and Cart Carmichael
of Durham was captain. Norman
Shepard, now athletic director at
Davidson College, coached The 1924
Southern champions which were
captained by Winton Green of Viii.
mington. Monk" Mcdonald. now
a Charlotte physician, was coach in
1925 when Jack Cobb of Durham
was captain. Harold F. Sanburn
was 1926 coach when W. A. (BilD
Dodderer, now of Atlanta, was
captain.
Superstitions
The business Of winning the
Tournament in those days got to
be such a habit with the Tar Heels
that they INDUCED themselves in
all sorts Of superstitions.
They insisted on staying in the
same hotel rooms each year (Which
they'd have hard time doing
now), on riding in the same seats
In the automobiles that took them
to and from the tournaments, and
In wearing the same jersey num-
bers given them the year before.
Early Stars
Those early teams produced such
stars as the Carmichael brothers,
Billy and Cartwright; Jack Cobb,
Monk Mcdonald, Bill Dodderer,
Winton Green, and flock OF other
luminaries. It would be difficult
to find a smoother floor man
than Cart Carmichael was in those
days. and Brother Billy was a
great sharpshooter.
George (Bo) Shepard, of the Uni |
versity's Department of Physical
Education, coached the next South
ern Conference championship team,
in 1885, which was captained by |
Stuart Aitkin of Charlotte. The Tar
Heels won the Conference title |
again the following year, 1885, when !
