BudgeBisplays Old Form
To Down Riggs, 6-3, 7-5
Faunce Decisions Sabin in Single Set;
Series Narrowed to 21-18 by Don Budge
By Carroll Poplin
Don Budge regained his old championship form last night and
trimmed his arch-rival Bobby Riggs in straight sets 6-3, 7-5 to
narrow Riggs's lead in the scheduled 50-match series, 21-18, be
fore a packed crowd in Woollen gym.
In the preliminary match
John Faunce outlasted the vet
eran Wayne Sabin to win 9-7 in
the only set played.
The big redheaded Budge dis
played a terrific serve along with
a well polished forehand and
backhand shots to down-the fav
ored world's professional cham
pion who lacked his usual strong
serve and was somewhat slow on
his feet.
Budge, wearing glasses, grab
bed the first set with ease. Riggs
took the first game, but the
challenger came back and won
the next four games. The king
of the court copped the next
game and Budge retaliated with
a love game. Riggs, the little
Los Angeles shotmaker took the
15th game, but bowed to Budge's
onslaught in the final game.

Riggs returned after the first
set in strong fashion by winning
the first three of the last set.
Budge evened the count by tak
ing the next three. The two net
warriors traded the next games
and Budge used his forceful
serve to sew up the match by
gaining a love game.
The real scrap of the court
program was between Sabin and
Faunce. The two "courtmen
swapped games until the score
was knotted at 7-all. Faunce,
the tanned youngster from Cali
fornia, broke through on Sabin's
serve and copped the two final
games to decide the match.

course here today to hand the
linksmen of N. C. State a 14 1-2

Leads Pitchers in Big Four
As the Big Four race swings
into its home-stretch drive with
Coach Vic Sorrell's surprising
North Carolina State Wolf pack
showing its heels to the other
three clubs, figures released yes
terday show Duke's Art Vann
and State's Curt Ramsey to be
the hitting and pitching leaders
of the loop.
Vann, fleet-footed centerfield
er for the Blue Devils, fell off 52
points during the week, but is
still pacing the field with a very
respectable mark of .406. His
closest opponent is slamming
Red Cochran of Wake Forest.
The Deacon football star is
clipping the apple at a .375 pace,
which puts him 15 points ahead
of the former leader, State's
Charlie Richkus, who is now
hitting .360. The list of leading
hitters is almost completely dom
inated by State and Duke men.
Noticeably atsent from the
list are the names of the light
hitting Tar Heel batsmen. With
the exception of Norm. Galinkin,
whose pinch single Saturday
gives him an average of 1.000

Here on Friday
Blue Devil Runners
Rated Top Entries
Temporarily halted in their
outdoor workouts because of rain
and a wet track, Carolina's
trackmen are pointing for the
Southern Conference track meet
that will be held here on Friday
and Saturday.
The conference meet is rapid
ly shaping into one of the out
standing sports events of the
week, with a record number of
177 entries already reported
from 11 participating Southern
Conference schools. The meet
is being resumed this year af
ter a two-year lay-off due to the
war.
Duke rates as the favorite in
the meet, in the basis of their
clear-cut victory over the Caro
lina cindermen at Durham last
Saturday. The Blue Devils are
expected to have strong entries
in the field events, the dashes,
and the middle distances.
Carolina is being rated as the
second strongest team in the
meet, with strong contestants in
the hurdles, 880, mile, pole
vault, high jump, broad jump,
and javelin. Individual men who
carry the highest Carolina hopes
in the various events include
Ted Haigler and Laddie Terrell
in the 100, and' Vernon Reiser
and Charles Donnell in the 440.
In the 880, Charlie Tietjen
and Tom Turner are expected to
pace the Tar Heel runners and
in the mile run, Mark Burnham
and Tietjen are counted on to set
the pace. Robert Francis is the
leading Carolina contestant in
the two mile run.
Chunk Simmons, Dick Taylor,
and Hunter Heggie carry Tar
Heel hopes in the hurdles, while
in the field events, Norman Mc-
Leod and Hank Hickman are the
two outstanding pole vaulters.
Two Carolina trackmen, Walter
Ward and Heggie, will be count
ed on in the high jump.
Zetas Top Sigma Nus
Rain yesterday caused the
cancellation of all intramural
contests, including softball and
tennis, with one water polo
match played between the Sigma
Nus and the Zeta Psis the lone
exception.
The Zetes defeated the Sigma
Nus by a 11-2 score. High Zete
scorer was Marvin Wilson who
scored eight of the 11 points
made by his team. Bill Browne
copped the remaining three
points to take second place in
Zete scoring.

cons earlier this spring due to
faulty support, is slated to toe
the rubber again today. Cole
man will be seeking his first win
in Big Four play.
Lost Five Straight
The Tar Heels, losers of five
straight league games, are now
firmly imbedded in the league
cellar and need a win today if
they are to attempt to climb out
of last place. Grandy or Skeld-
ing is expected to do the hurl
ing for the visitors. Both men
have seen action in both previ
ous Carolina - Wake Forest
games, with each one getting
credit for a win. Jake Pearce,
who has done most of the vis
itors' hurling, also may start.
After being upset by the
Deacs in the first meeting be
tween the two clubs here, the
Tar Heels went over to Wake
Forest and committed nine er
rors to kick away another game
to the Baptist nine.
It is Coach Bunn Hearn's hope
that the locals have got all of
their errors out of their systems
by now and are ready to start
hitting. Today's game will be
Carolina's first since Bobby
Houghton fllipped a one-hitter
against the Tar Heels last Sat
urday. Pitching Dominates
In a year in which the Big
Four play is dominated by good
pitching, the weak-hitting Caro
linians have been losing con
stantly by small margins in low
score ball games. Harry Bea
son, right-fielder, is the only
Carolina man hitting in the se
lect .300 circle of the Big Four,'
and Beason's mark is an even
.300.
In their previous appearance
here this spring, the Demon
Deacons showed a fast, scrappy
ball club. After dropping their
first four league tilts, the Deacs
have won three of their last four.
The Tar Heels, smarting from
their losing streak, the fact
that they have kicked away two
previous games to Wake, and
Houghton's fine pitching job
against them, will be all out to
snap their slump today.
