Tar Baby Nine Rallies In Last Four Innings To Down Durham, 5-2 Bob Shaw Hits Homer in Close Pitching Duel Tar Heels Massacre Virginians? 18-1; Reynolds, Gersten, Myers Lead Attack By Bill Woestendiek A hard-playing Durham high school nine almost threw a monkey wrench into the proceedings on Emerson field yesterday afternoon, but the Carolina freshman team rallied in the late in nings to overcome the Bulldogs by a 5-2 count. Durham pitcher George Whitted's wildness and inaccuracy gave the Tar Babies .the ball game, but the real hero of the afternoon was Bob Shaw, second string first sacker for the freshman nine, who pinch-hit a home run into the left field corner in the fifth inning with a man on base to tie the score at two-all. His blow put the frosh back in the ball game and they went on to win with another score in the sixth and two more tal lies in the eighth. Webb is Winning Pitcher v Bart Lewis, George Webb and Joe Green divided the pitching assign ment among them for the home club, with Webb getting credit for the vic tory his second of the year. All three men turned in stellar mound performances, keeping what few hits they allowed well scattered. George Whitted, a right-handed twirler, did the hurling for the Bulldogs and did a good job of it. He pitched all the way, struck out three, walked three and limited the usually potent frosh hitters to six bingles. However, his poor play afield coupled with a wild pitch cost him the game. The deciding tally was scored in the sixth inning. It was a cheap run, but it was all that was needed to put the home team in front to stay. Ernie Horter was safe when third-baseman J. C. Saunders made a nice stop of his grounder but threw, wide to first. Whitted attempted to pick Horter off first and threw past the bag, allow- See FROSH BASEBALL, page h Bulldogs Are Muzzled Netters Play Semi-Finals At Pinehurst With all singles contestants idle for a day, most of the activity in the annual North and South amateur ten nis tournament at Pinehurst was fur nished by the doubles teams.

Barbara Epps, freshman sensation, won the fencing plaque. She placed on varsity along with co-captains Mary McCormic, and Alliene Brawley. Hon orable mention went to Sara Anderson and Catherine Henley. The following members of Carolina's first swimming team were rewarded with Carolina bracelets, Captain Ellen Wimberley, Mary Jane Lloyd, Polly Durham, Marty Rouse, Mary Martha Cobb, Deb Lewis, Mary Lib Nash, and Frances Ravenel. At the close of winter quarter those eligible for sweaters were Howe, Hood, McCormic, Bruns, Brawley, Martin, Winkler and Hall Duke Sends Four Stars to Compete At Penn Relays With a pair of power-laden con tingents now departed for the Penn relays in Philadelphia, the Carolina and Duke coaching staffs yesterday began to get a line on just how the new status quo will affect the out come of tomorrows Carolinas' AAU meet. On the face of things it looks as though the Tar' Heels should have the edge in the fourth meeting of the two teams. Duke has sent the larger of the two expeditionary forces to Franklin field and the men that re main to compete for the Methodists will be hard pressed to fill in all the way down the line for the men who have left. Familiar faces from Dur ham that won't be in Chapel Hill this week-end include Werner Brown, sprint and 440 star, Moffat Storer, sprint ace, Hank Profenius, middle and long distance runner, and Steve Lach, conference shot put champion. This quartet scored 26 points in last Saturday's dual meet as compared to the 22 markers counted by Mike Man gum and Warren Mengel, Carolina en trants in the Penn carnival. Gantt Leads Devils However, a potent nucleus of Devil point producers will be on hand. Bob Gantt, who captured runner-up honors in dual meet individual scoring, is slated to compete in the three weight events, while Himmelright in the high jump,' Palumbo in the javelin, and Lockwood in the distance divisions will figure prominently in the Duke scoring. The latest renewal of the Lock- wood-Van Wagoner rivalry tomorrow should develop into a real battle. Per ennial opponents, the two met for the first time this season last week with Lockwood racing home well in front in a 4:28 mile. Van Wagoner took Lockwood in camp to win the Weil mile in the indoor games in Febru ary, winning in 4:22 so that the third meeting should produce real fire works.

The Carolina hurdle king, shown in ac "tion above, has been the hottest thing in Dixie track competition this spring and bids fair to make his presence felt in Philadelphia to day. Mike Mangum is the other Tar Heel entrant in the meet. Zetes Take Tight Game SOFTBALL Zeta Psi No. 2, 11; Pi Lambda Phf 10. Sigma Nu No. 1, 3; Lambda Chi Alpha 1. ZBT 7; Kappa Sigma No. 2, 6.

Carolina hit everything in sight here this afternoon except three trains and an army airplane which passed by during the game to collect 22 hits and 18 runs for an 18 to 1 victory over the University of Virginia. Charlie Moore, curve-ball right hander, had a shut out until Charlie Merritt, Virginia's hard-hitting short stop, slapped out a four-base blow in the ninth inning. Gersten, Reynolds Pace Tar Heels Bobby Gersten and Co-captain Bo Reynolds paced the Tar Heels in their biggest score of the season by get ting four hits for six trips to the plate. Virginia was unable to solve the slants of iMoore, who, notched his third triumph of the season. He hurl ed five-hit ball and retired the Cava liers in order in five of the nine in nings. After a slow start in which Vir ginia put five men on base in the first two innings, Moore settled down and pitched four-hit ball for the last sev en innings. Sixth is Big Inning Carolina's big inning was the sixth in which 13 men went to bat, getting six hits and eight runs. Two base run ners were left stranded. Bobby Ger sten flied out to the shortstop for the third out. Myers, Moore, Hearn and Gersten went to bat twice in the inning.
