The coach f (censored) is a good friend ot Btine and I don't want to lick him more than seven points. Co-captains: How many sets shall we lose? We've got dates tonight and would like to get away early. Kenfield: Well, since they're going to win one doubles, well take every s&atch in straight sets.

Car olina has had its share of 'them in the past. To name a few Harry March, Bill Corpening, Bill Hendrix, Harry Williamston, and several oth ers. State has had very few star track athletes. Zori threw the discus there for a while, but now the Wolfpack has a man who seems destined to be ne of the greatest in State track history. He's Mike Andrews, a soph omore who licked Duke's Werner Brown in the Carolina Relays here April 4. He was scheduled to participate in six events in a meet with Rich mond University held yesterday at Raleigh. The events were the 100, 220, shot put, discus, broad jump and javelin. And somehow he manages to be an excellent performer. Andrews really deserves the title "The One Man Track Team." Notes jotted down on a frayed shirt cuff. . . .

Spring Basketball Is Postponed Until Next Month Coach Bill Lange announced yester day that spring basketball practice, originally slated to start this month,! would be postponed until the first of May, because of conflicts in intramural officiating duties which involve sev eral returning lettermen. At the initial meeting of the squad several weeks ago, a large and enthus iastic group reported. These men are requested to put in some time on the Woollen floor this month and to report in May for a series of practice sessions which will take place over a three week period and involve twilight practices from 6:30 to 8:15. Over Virginia Special to Daily Tar Heel CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va The University of North Carolina's tennis team staged a successful one-day stand here today walking off with all the honors and a 9-0 win over Virginia's net team. It was the 58th win in a row for the Tar Heels. The feature match of the afternoon was the No. 6 singles affair in which Bob Shay of the Cavaliers captured the first set from Hal Berk but succumbed to the Carolinian's skill in the second and third sets. Berk took the match, 3-6, 6-1, 6-1. Co-captain Harris Everett of the Tar Heels handled Bob Posnick with ease, earning a 6-4, 6-0 victory and Co-cap tain Ham Anthony lost a like number of games winning from Barton Gold bert, 6-3, 6-1.

The Kappa Sigs, defending fraternity champions, turned in their second 3-2 win of the current season when they edged out the SAE's Thursday. St. Anthony with a 9-8 decision over TEP, and Town, capturing a 7-6 win from Steele, were the other squads that col lected victories by one-run margins.

Singer of St. Anthony Hall was the leading batter of the week, having a perfect record of four hits in four trips to the plate.

Red Benton pitched the final in ning without yielding a safety. Big Jack Hussey was the hitting star. The rightfielder and football end belted two doubles out of four, trips and was cheated of a home run when a high wind blowing in from left field kept a Ruthian blow from falling over the fence. Johnson put Carolina ahead with a homer over the right field palings, scoring Gersten, who had singled, in the first inning. It was Johnson's sec ond circuit blow in two days. Whiteheart, a Winston-Salem boy, lost his own game by pulling' a boner in the first inning. With the bases loaded and one away, Monk fielded G. Car ter's easy grounder and tossed him out at first as Sizemore, who had walk ed, scored. It would have been an easy double play at the plate and at first, but the pitcher apparently thought there were two out. Carolina's third run came in the fifth when Johnson scratch singled down the third base line and scored on Hus sey's rousing double against the right field fence. Two walks and a pair of singles by Owens and pinch-hitter Nelson gave Hanes its three-run winning rally in the seventh.

The entire game was a nigtmare of hits, errors, runs and wild throws with pitcher following pitcher to the mound winding up when State's catcher took over the pitching duties for the Baby Terrors and promptly was touched for the winning runs. George Webb, last of three pitchers used by Jim Tatum, subdued the Tech lets for three innings and was the win ning twirler. Joe Green and George Sparger preceded Webb, each man tak ing a three-inning stretch. Trailing 8-7 coming into the eighth inning, the Tar Babies teed off on Joe Edwards, fifth State pitcher, for four hits and four runs. Booker, fourth State slinger who had relieved Bob Edwards in the previous inning, start ed the ball rolling in the eighth when he walked Rivers Johnson the third walk he had given up in two-thirds of an inning. Walt Pupa, who had scored Johnson in the first with a prodigious triple, promptly slapped a single to center. Frank Wideman, who also got two hits yesterday, lined a one-base knock into left field and Johnson raced home. Then Ernie Hackney, who relieved Jim Hayworth in the seventh at third base, lifted a long smash into right and Pupa moved to third after the catch. Sid Feder, second catcher to see actioin, beat out an infield hit and the bags were loaded. Grits Gresham, lanky first baseman who spent the afternoon harassing State's pitchers, driving home four runs in all, hit a sharp ground ball to the left of the infield and when the shortstop and third baseman got their signals mixed, the baU'rolled into left field and two more runners scampered home. Billy Myers' ground single to left scored Grasham a few minutes later and the Tar Babies held a 11-8 lead. ' Webb held the Baby Terrors at bay in the first of the ninth, although a three-base error by Wideman and a single by Rhodes threw a scare into the Tar Baby supporters. Rhodes was thrown out going into second by Gresh am and Kirkpatrick lifted to Hackney who made a nice running catch of the ball for the final out of the game. The Tar Babies made it very hard for themselves yesterday, for they practi cally gave seven runs to the Techlets before they got organized. State scored twice in the first on a hit batsmen, a walk and a wild pitch failing to hit safely. Then in the fourth the Caro lina infield blew up and started heav ing the ball all over the lot with the result that five State men had dented the plate on only two hits before the mning was over. The State pitchers were wilder .than the proverbial hawk, however, and the Tar Babies started their long uphill fight. After scoring three in the fourth an inniner hiehliehted by Bill Lee's double and Gresham's two run-1 Webb Earns Win For Yearlings ' In Weird Tilt 4 scoring single the home club was granted eight free tickets to first in two innings and the game evolved into a parade about the bases. Given their opening by the State pitchers' gratui ties, the hitters went to work with a vengeance and went right through the open door, with Webb closing it behind them in the ninthT" Lee played a swell game behind the plate before retiring in the sixth. He threw out two runners attempting to steal and slapped a double and a single. The stickwork of Pupa and Wideman was also exceptional, while Gresham's great performance with the wood was a revelation. Morris, State shortstop, See FROSH BASEBALL, page 4 By Ben Snyder Sweeping the middle distance events and making a surprisingly strong showing in the field divisions, Coach Bob Fetzer's Carolina track team open ed its 1942 dual meet season success fully yesterday afternoon by rolling over Virginia, 76 1-2 19 1-2. Entering the meet as slight favorites over Archie Hahn's visiting Cavaliers, the Tar Heels got off to a flying start in the mile when Rich Van Wagoner, Wimpy Lewis and Lamarr Wood romp ed home to place one-two-three over a weak Virginia field. From there in to the end of the 14-event card, Caro lina was never headed and coasted a- long on a comfortable lead throughout the balance of the afternoon. It was Co-captain Roy Cathey who stole the individual show yesterday over such headliners as Todd, Tucker and the Rathbuns of Virginia and Men gel, Lewis, Van Wagoner and Wise of the home club. Cathey notched a pair of convincing triumphs in the 220 and 440-yard runs and looked to "be in mid season shape. Warren Mengel and Rich Van Wagoner fell in behind Cath ey for individual honors, each coming home a winner in one event and tying for first in another. Mengel's duel with Tommy Todd in the high hurdle event was" by all odds the meet's outstanding race. Todd, generally regarded as the best timber topper in the South, was caught un awares by Menard's drivine finish thatbrought him in a winner by inches.
