"1 f Budge Says He'll Win Grand Prize By Ben McKinnon Don Budge sat on the raised plat form behind the green tennis court stretched in Woollen gymna s i n m Wednesday afternoon and watched Deidre Budge play Al Ennis, the pub licity man for the tour. The tall, red-haired Californian was dressed in a brown tweed suit. The smiling Budge watching a tennis game presents a direct contrast to the grim Budge playing a game. "Tennis has been my life up to now," Don said, always ready to talk about his favorite game. By "up he may have meant that his life would now be divided into two parts. One of them for tennis and the other for Deidre, his beautiful brunette bride of eight months. , "I think I have a very good chance of winning the $36,000 grand prize on this tour," Budge mused speculatively, "I'm ahead so far and most tennis players in the past have been consist ent. I have won a majority of games in the past and see no reason why I should not in the future. But, even if I don't win, you may know that I'll be playing my hardest every night." Don, who seemed more willing to talk about the other members of the troupe than about himself, says that the fun niest thing that has happened on the current tour took place in Philadelphia. Frankie Kovacs was going to appeal on a local radio station and urged Riggs to walk to the studio with him. Bobby did so, and took a comfortable seat in the audience. Once on the stage, a ranK ie told the announcer that Bobby Riggs was in the audience and that he should be asked to speak. . Bobby refused to do so whereupon the clown Kovacs held his nose and imitating Riggs in a high pitched, squeaky voice, proceeded to tell listeners that it was Bobby Riggs talking. "Bobby was certainly burned up," Don laughed. Coeds Swim Well in Meet (Continued from first page) Telav. The old pool record held by last year's freshman team of Ham-1 mond, Shumate and Eshelman was 1:35.3. Denny Hammond, Bob Ousley and George Coxhead formed the Car olina team which led from the begin ning of the race. The three best events of the afternoon-long program of 15 races were the 200-meter freestyle, the 150-meter backstroke and the 200-meter breast stroke. The 200-meter freestyle relay, in which a Carolina team set a new pool record, was also exciting for the 400 spectators who attended. In winning the 150-meter backstroke, Denny Hammond, holder of the nation al intercollegiate 150-yard backstroke title, was hard-pressed by Bill Tullidge, Virginia Tech freshman, who dogged TTaTYitrmnfTs heels ud until the last 25 meters. The Carolina man led all the way in the race, but his lead wasn't the 15 or 20 yards as it has been in the past against lesser-expenencea swim At the 100-meter mark Hammond had put only three yards between nim TNiiliW. hut at the finish of the race he was in front by a good seven w; time 1:54.5 set a new pool record, breaking his former mark of 1 : 54.6 by one-tenth of a secona. Ousley Beaten Bill Thompson, also a Virginia Tech freshman, bested Carolina'sBob Ous ley, Southern conference record-holder in the 200-meter breaststroke, in the dorsal race by two-tenths of a second. Ousley and Thompson took an early lead and stayed together for almost the entire race. In the final 35 meters Thompson started a fast sprint and Ousley fell two feet behind him. He made up some of the distance but Thompson beat him to the bank by inches. See COEDS SWIM, page 4 , i ii i jm-- - : ..r,rrrr-----rr-r--,,,:,-T't. T : : T I .

University record holder of 24.8 in the 50-yard freestyle, has withdrawn from Carolina to enter Franklin-Marshall college in Lancas ter, Pa., swimming coach Dick jamer- son announced yesterday. Eshelman's loss to the Blue Dolphins is a big blow, especially at this time of the year with meets with Duke and Florida and the Southern conference tournament still on the Dolphins' sche dule. "His loss would have been bigger than it is if it hadn't been for the recent excellent improvement of Truman Hnhhs. varsitv reserve, in the freestyle events," Jamerson said in announcing Eshelman's loss. Eshelman,- a sophomore, entered Franklin-Marshall in order to take a flvine- course. Technicalities over a birth certificate, it was said, was one of the main reasons for his not being ahle to take the CAA course here.

The sophomores, rfrmnrs of a disappointing showing m the first meet, also have high hopes of doing better this time and beating out a frosh team that took third place ahead of them two weeks ago. It is hoped that the interclass battle, now threatening to become a weekly instead of an annual affair, will pro vide just the necessary competition to put the team at its peak for the big indoor meet February 28.

Can White Phantoms Do What Other Teams Failed to Accomplish: snlits ud to work opposite baskets. Another fertile field for speculation concerns itselv with Coach Bill Lange. Lange, who took over the coacmng reins when Glamack was but a junior, labored for two years to build an of fense around his huge center and now in three days he must devise a defense to stop his own machine, .faraiienng the immortal Frankenstein and the Monster theme, this angle opens up vast ironical possibilities. It will be interesting to note whether Lange will use any of the various defensive sys tems devised by desperate Phantom foes in the past two seasons. A dis quieting thought lies in the fact that none of these carefully laid plans ever worked completely. There was one night in Glamack's career, against Wake Forest in '39, when he was held to five points, but spectators strll re call that the Johnstown giant had one of his infrequent off nights. At any rate the Tar Heels will have their work cut out for them.
