Carolina-Duke Rivalry Fading : What has happened to the tense rivalry between Carolina and Duke? This is a question that has been in the back of this writer's mind for some time. In our opinion, tradition has been almost absorbed dur ing the past few years. Although stell used quite frequently, the term"areh rival" rvo longer applies to the Tar Heels and Blue Devils. There is no longer that feeling of "if we can beat Duke or vice versa, the season will be a success." This was the prevelant idea for so many years, but now a contest between the two schools has almost become "just another ballgame." It is exteremplv hard tn rilsrprn ' inst what ha.f caused this obvious loss of spirit on the part of both schools. Since we have only been here for two years, we do not know whether or not the rivalry has ever flourished as much as it seemed from the outside. We, like other local fans who have observed sports in the Big Four area for some time, have always had the conception that when the two schools met, be it in soccer or football, every man on the team was keyed up and out to save the honor of their school by "trouncing" their opponent. This was the big game. Maybe Rivalry Is Spreading The possibility that interest in sports haj declined over the; past few years does not seem valid to us. Attendence, for the most part is still good in both quarters. 5 . . .- The answer to the question We can only conjecture. In our opinion the rivalry has slowly spread. The two schools no longer feel that their main purpose for 4 successful season is to beat each other. There seems to be a feeling that win over. State or Wake Forest is just as important. The rivalry between Carolina and Duke has now spread throughout the Big Four. For the mojt part this is good. Still we'd like to see some of that old tension revived. It used to be great to hear and watch the capers and conversations that took place before a Carolina-Duke affair; now there's only an empty feeling. First NC Baseball Game Televised v An interesting innovation will take place at Duke this afternoon as .WTVD in Durham will televise the Duke State baseball game; the first time that a collegiate baseball game has ever been televised in North Carolina. The televising of the game will be under a handicap from the very start, since there will be two major league games coming from nearby Channels. Continuance Will Hurt Attendence It is the hope of this column that this unprecedented action of tele vising a Big Four baseball game will end as quickly as it started. It is our firm belief that if fans convince local stations that they should continue televising collece games in this area, and there will most certainly be some talk of this. Big Four baseball will suffer a devastating blow. The minor leagues have suffered because of television, the colleges will be hurt even more. Attendence will, in all probability, hit an.'al) time low and there is certainly no room for decline in attendence ; It might seem a bit ridiculous at this point to condemn something that is completely tentative. But we simply do not want to see a move started to make this a permanent thing. It is quite obvious that the comparatively small number of fans and students do go out and sup port their teams will dwindle. It will be interesting to compare attendence at the Duke-State game today with attendence at the rest of the Duke hpme games this season. This writer sincerely hopes that thi will be a one shot affair and will rot create a demand for more.

I - - It v Jim Beatty Jim Beatty, who. was upset yes terday in his try for third consec utive two-mile title in .Perm Relays. By ED CORRIGAN PHILADELPHIA, (XV) ' Lew Stieglitz of the University of Con-; necticut upj2t North Carolina's Jim Beatty in a speedy 9:07.7 two mile run on sunbaked Franklin Field here yesterday where the Penn Relays are taking place. This effort erased the meet stan dard of 9:09.9 set last year by Beat ty. The Carolina distance runner was seeking his third consecutive title in the event. The race turned into a hum dinger that had the 5,000 opening day spectators on their feet- for the last lap. Stieglitz and Beatty were running shoulder to aiioulder, each trying desperately to get even a half step in front. . . Five strides from the tape, Stieglitz moved ahead and with one final burst, hit the tape first. It was so close Beatty also was cloc ked in 9:01.7. Elias Gilbert ran a 14 flat 120 yard high hurdles to better the meet mark of 14.1 set by Duke's Joel Shankle in 1955. However, it was done in- a heat and Gilbert jrtill could lose the final. In fact, he will be no better than the sec ond choice in the final tomorrow, for he must face Olympic cham pion Lee Calhoun of North Caro lina College. With Ronnie "Delany finishing all by himself just as he did in the same event a year ago Villanova scored an easy 10:10.7 victory in the distance medley. This was the only one of the eight major relays on the open ing day's program, and it was a foregone conclusion that Villanova which has high hopes of winning at lea.?t a couple more today, would take it. . , The Wildcats, IC4A and Nation al AAU indoor champions, lived up to expectations. TrackstersMeet Virginia Today Seeking 4th Win - By DAVE WIBLE Tbe Carolina track squad, 3-1 in conference meets this season, will be trying to get back into the win ners bracket this afternoon when they meet Virginia in Charlottes ville. ; The Tar Heels lost their last meet just before the Easter holi days when the were topped by the present conference champions, Maryland. ... Today's meet will be a real chal lenge for the Heels since, the "big four" of Jim Beatty, Dave Scur lock, Everett Whatley and Ben Williams will not be on hand to help them out. These four Caro lina track stars are in Philadel phia taking part in the Penn Re lays. . Track Coach Dale Ranson said,"' It will take a lot of hustle from the. remaining boys to win this meet with the relay team gone." The Penn Relays boys are going to run the 2-mile relay tomorrow. They are listed among the favorites in that event. The Tar Heels will have thejr full strength in the field events, dashes, and hurtles. The Penn Re lays has the Carolina backbone in the races longer that 220 yards but Coach Ranson has plenty of talent to fill the gap. Sophomore Wayne Bishop will pull Jim Beattys trick by running J in both the mile and the two-mile. John Sylvester, Dick MacFaddin J and John Fox will run in the 440 1 and along with dash man Jim Moss 1 these three will make up the mile relay team. ( Lyndon DeBorde, Charles - Sow ere, and Bill Lyons will be hop ping the hurdlers. Moss, Jim Var num, Moe DeCantis, and Larry Mc Mullen take to the straight-away for the 100 and 220. In the Field events weight men Don Kemper and John Jones will throw the shot; Clete Oakley, Ric hard McCallister and Roland Payne will throw the Javlin; Oscar Davis will Pole Vault. Jim Bryant and Bill Lyons will High jump; and John Jones and Bill Roth will heave the discus. May 4 the Tar Heels will play host to the Duke Blue Devils in the final conference meet before the ACC Championships on May 10th and 11th.

Spike Briggs quit yesterday as executive vce president, general manager and a director of the De troit Baseball Co., ending a 37 year era in the history of the Am erican League Tigers. A front office squabble resulted in his resignation. And for the first time since his late father, Walter O. Briggs Sr., bought into the club in 1920 there is no Briggs in the management No successor was named. Only Wednesday Spike, 45, was quoted as saying new owners who acquired the Tigers from his fa ther's estate for 5k million dollars la-t summer "aren't going to give me any trouble Til walk out first." - But yesterday he took his walk. It followed by a week the resigna tion of Fred Kherr, who had head ed an Il-member Syndicate of new owners, as president. Kherr said pressure of his radio and televis ion business required more time, but sports writers attached more significance than that' to it. Some reported disagreement on policy had developed. This never was confirmed. Casper Leads Derby 12 ANGRY MEN Starring Henry Fonda Lee J. Cobb L LATE SHOW TONIGHT SUN. MOM.

Crossfires of Vengeance ct Crossroads of Empire! mm ,1 hi i RESALSCOPE . NOW PLAYING GO, VAN, GOGH !; Once upon a time, when the world was really evil, and a thief lurked behind every bush, cautious men had their shirts painted on,! The reason for this is explained by a perceptive saying of those days: "Forsooth, nothing deters those rapscallions about town. They'll steal anything that isn't buttoned down." Rough days particularly for the shirt business, what with painters picking up all the profits. Until, suddenly, an idea of genius appeared. The button-down shirt!. This shirt was actually buttoned on to the chest of the wearer, making it absolutely steal-proof! Today, in these honest times, we still feel its influence. It is the true ancestor of that glori ous style the shirt with the button down collar! Isn't his tory interesting? Van Ileusen because they know so much about the button-down has done more with it than anybody else. Take our new line called the Van Ivy, for instance. Here are button-downs in tartan checks and stripes. Van Ivys look marvelous with suits and sport coats, and worn open at the neck give you a roguish look. They also have a button on the back of the collar, for authenticity's sake. See them. $4.00 in short sleeve, $5.00 "long sleeves. Phillips-Jones Corp., 417 Fifth Ave., New York 16, N.Y.
