Page C Thursday, March 12, 1064 Opens 'unite r leJld roil -Boasts 00 11 11 il NEW YORK (UPI) The granddaddy of post-season bas ketball classics the National Invitational Tournament opens tonight at Madison Square Garden with one of its Bob Bettis The Tennis Scene Story Of Suffering Don Skakle is an expert. More specifically, he is an expert at winning tennis matches. As a UNC tennis star from 1946-50, he won 60 of 61 matches. As the present UNC tennis coach, he has captured five consecu tive Atlantic Coast Conference Championships, and has yet to experience a loss in conference competition. On the 24th of this month Skakle and his Tar Heel netmen will attempt to add to their remarkable record by inaugurating their 1964 season. They open hostilities with the Indiana Hoosiers, and the match will be played in Chapel Hill. But be fore action begins the casual observer may want to know some thing about this year's squad. How does it compare, for ex ample, to the 1963 champs? What players will comprise the starting six? And what ACC teams will provide the toughest opposition to Carolina? A talk with the amicable coach produced the desired answers. "Overall we are going to be just a little weaker," Skakle Said. "Keith Stoneman graduated in June and Bitsy Harrison is 3iow in the Army." Stoneman, lone senior on last year's team and ACC doubles champion in 1961 and 1963, was a smooth, steady player who lost just five matches in his three-year career here. He was seeded number 47 in the country. Harrison, a 6-7 Virginian, rated number 40 in the U.S., was a threat at all times because of his big serve and excellent timing. Had he not been drafted in September, Harrison would have continued to be a starter. "Naturally it hurts to lose two players like Stoneman and Harrison," remarked Skakle. "That means the shoes for our number five and six positions are left open. For that reason we will not have the great overall strength and experience of last year, even though we will be somewhat stronger in our re turning positions." Big Four Brings A Mississippi Smile And when Skakle talks about his returning lettermen, his face exhibits a smile that is as wide as the Mississippi River. George Sokol, Ted Hoehn, Charlie Shaffer, and O. H. Parrish all lettermen and all very good tennis players are back again. Just who will join these four to make up the first six is not cer tain. Two individuals who might see action, however, are Pete Myers, a senior and top reserve last year, and Carl Evans, the 1963 freshman champion in singles and doubles. Sokol, of course, is the team's pride and joy. A blonde, 5-9 stockily-built kid, Sokol has performed on the number one Carolina court ever since he joined the varsity. Last May the Czechoslovakian-born netter won the ACC singles crown for the second straight year. Surprising as it may seem, Skakle says that little George has improved his game during the past eight months. "George should have a good year. He gained experience . last summer while playing in the Eastern Collegiate Championships and the NCAA finals. His overall game is stronger now, and his back hand stroke is nearly as strong as his forehand." Hoehn, a red-headed senior who formed, with Sokol, the brilliant one-two freshman punch three years ago, also has im proved, if that is possible. "Ted is already better," explained Skakle. "His service, volley, overhead shot they've all been im proved. Overall he's much above average in comparison to last spring." In practice sessions this month Parrish, too, has displayed a progressing game. As a sophomore during the past season, Par rish broke into the starting lnieup and at one time moved up as high as number three on the team ladder. Parrish, like Stone man, plays a stable game and can hold his own against anyone in the conference. Shaffer, the fourth letterman to return, was- delayed in join ing the team because of the overlapping basketball season. Thus Skakle does not yet know if Charlie has progressed as much as the other players. But he adds that Shaffer, a quick, strong, un usually agile athlete, "should be as strong, if not stronger, than last year." 'We9 re Looking Forivard To Season" As he talked Don Skakle was receiving telephone call after telephone call, and there were other business matters to attend to. But would he please give us a quick synopsis of ACC tennis competition this spring. "Ciemson has a veteran team and should be near the top of the conference," Skakle expounded. "And Maryland may have a pretty good group too. It's a toss-up between Duke and Virginia as to which will follow these teams." How about Carolina, coach? "I'll just say that we're looking forward to the season and that I expect us to do extra well in conference play." Few tennis enthusiasts hereabouts will find reason to doubt his words. DJJ Wins Ping-Pong Crown By PETE GAMMONS The All-Campus Championship game between the Ehringhaus-B Aces arid ATO has been post poned until next Tuesday night at 7:30. Both won in their re spective classes Monday over their White opponents. In what turned out to be some thing less than an exciting day Tues, day, the picture was highlighted by Table Tennis. In the Fratern ity Blue Finals DU won both singles matches and walked off with a 2-1 upset over DKE. Brick . Oettinger and Morgan Dennis each won their singles, and clinched the title before Bryan Simpson and Bobby Gray could win the doubles for the Dekes. In the Dorm finals Battle-Vance-Pettigrew defeated the Parker Panthers, also by capturing the strongest fields in recent years and a favorite that is not even seeded. In the opening first-round doubleheader, Miami, Fla., the highest scoring team in the singles. Gene Corpining and Lar ry Edwards won for Battle, while the Panthers' Ralph Howe and Mike Joyce took the doubles. Phi Delt-1 took the Frat White title by shutting out the TEP Tepids, 3-0.

They will meet St. A's Thursday, who Monday defeated Physics, 2-0, with Hal Minis scoring both goals. Tuesday's top game saw Chi Psi defeat SAE by virtue of two more corner kicks. The act ual score was 2-2, but under in tramural rules the team with more corner kicks wins in the event of a tie.

President John Hammett says that it is essential that all com mittee heads and all members be there, because final arrange ments will be made for the Varsity-Alumni game set for March 21. Hammett reports that many former Carolina greats have al ready been lined up for the game and invites everyone to come out and watch the varsity get "slaughtered." Steelemen Open First Varsity Year By PAT STITH At North Carolina, Lacrosse is the sport for boys strong enough to play football, fast enough to run track, and rough enough to play ice hockey. Men of Steele, they're called. Coach Cony Steel recruited his team with those qualities in mind. After years of fielding a team on a "club" basis, UNC granted the sport varsity recognition this spring. Coach Steele is anxious that his boys get off to a good start. The schedule offers a tough row to hoe. Steele's men face Virgin ia, the third ranked team in the country, and Maryland, ranked number four. Other opponents are Duke, Washington & Lee, Swarth more College and Washington Col lege. Cony didn't begin this year from scratch. His "club" last spring played seven matches, winning three and losing four all in over time. His starters this year are all veterans off that team. Several would be standouts anywhere. Sophomore Harvey Stanley, an All-Maryland goalie as a prep, is the defensive take charge man. He handles his job as well as any around.
