By DRUMMOND BELL DTH Sports Writer Carolina's 64 - 55 victory ov er Kentucky is something which will be hard to forget. After driving over 1,100 miles, having a Ford agency repair a tired Mustang and recover ing my car from its impound ment in the Lexington police station, the great effort on the .part of Carolina in Memorial Coliseum more than made up for misfortunes which occurr ed. As the sports editor and I stood for the national anthem, our knees .shook from fright and our empty stomachs felt .,the tension of the opening tip off. We were lucky to be on ; court side. Thanks to Caroli na's Sports Publicity chief, Jack Williams, we had court side seats in the soldout coli seum. As Carolina moved out into the lead, we felt that we had a chance. Then, Coach Smith used his four corner offensive tactics and stymied the frus trated Kentuckians as guards Dick. Grubar and Gerald Tut tle controlled the game. Kentucky would not come out of their 1-3-1 zone and as far as we were concerned, we hoped they wouldn't. As Mil ler and Clark opened a 10 point spread, the two sopho more guards played cat and mouse with the Wildcat de fense. The first half ended. Caro lina held a ten point lead and seemed unaware of the jeer ing which they received from the partisan crowd'. The fans were used to a fast pace. They had seen their team run in their first three games.

Grubar to Tuttle to Gru bar to Lewis for four points as the senior All American raced All American Pat Riley to the basketball twice and hit the nets for two baskets. Kentucky tried to come back again, but the Tar Heel defense was inspired. Clark and Lewis blocked a Riley jump shot and sophomore Gerald Tuttle made a crucial three point play before his hometown admirers, and the game was all but over. Carolina continued their stall as the smiling Grubar dribbl ed around the Kentucky de fense and then passed off. Ken tucky fouled in desperation. The move might have paid off, but Carolina's defense contin ued to play flawless basket ball. Grubar stole the ball and scored. Kentucky rushed into the forecourt and scored. Car olina stalled and the fans were silent. Then, with the score board showing one second re maining, Tuttle hit a 40 foot push shot and Carolina's bench cleared. Carolina had won the crucial game. Adolp Rupp, "the baron of Basketball," the winningest college basketball coach in the nation and the Coach of the Year in 1966, had been beaten by sixth ranked North Caro lina. Rupp was perturbed at his team's showing. "We let the ball come in easy. We played bad basketball. We were un able to shoot, thirty seven Raff ia Cologne C and After-Shave, Lime or Bay Rum. per cent great day." "We ran into a good basket ball team. They have five good boys and I don't think we do," the Baron continued over the radio. Rupp felt the frustration as badly as his team. He was impressed with Bunting and Clark, who almost out-rebounded his entire team. "They have a good ball club and the size to go with it.

Davidson Carolina TO KffHl By JOE SANDERS DTH Sports Writer The UNC swimming team took its fifth straight victory yesterday when it edged the Navy Midshipmen, 54-41 at Annapolis. The battle was uncertain up to the last event, the 400 yard freestyle relay, where a win by Navy would have meant a 47-48 defeat for Caro lina. The first event, the 400-yard medley relay, fell to Carolina by a wide margin. Although his lead was substantial and he was never challenged, Phil Riker streaked through his leg of the relay .with a :51.7 split. Chris Johnson of Navy up set Jim Edwards to put Na vy into the ninning. Carolina and Navy then wapped wins with C a r 0 1 i na's Pete Worthen capturing the 50-yard freestyle and Na vy taking the 200-yard indivi dual medley. With the three meter diving next, Navy had decreased Carolina's lead to two points. Nor did things look bright a Surp rises atmen Lister (C) for the Davidson victory.

Carolina now led 23-20. - Phil Riker and Jack Hay den had no sooner scored a 1-2 combination for the Tar Heels than the Middies took a 1-2 win in the 100-yard free style and jumped back to trai ling by only three points. Fred Danneman and Rick Mercuri downed the Navy backstrokers, increasing Car olina's lead to a comfortable 10 points. And when Steve Hil denbrand and Jim Bernuth took first and third in the 500-yeard freestyle, the score looked deceptively secure at 46-33. UNC needed only a se cond place in the breaststroke to win the meet. Navy lashed back with a 1-2 win in the 200-yard breast stroke, however, and set the score at 47-41.

TRY OUR AIR TAXI 4 lAt style mm VPs', With one event remaining, the 400-yard freestyle relay, the Navy and Carolina swim mers went into a frenzy of spirit. For Navy, it was a chance to win and reassert their position of third in the East. For Carolina it meant remaining undefeated. The re lay, was worth seven points. Unlike the first relay, there' was no early lead for Caroli na. The foursome of Pete Worthen, Phil Riker, Jay Scat tergood, and Jim Edwards bat tled for an edge until the last leg. Jim Edwards took his slight lead on the fourth leg and clinched it for the Dolphins with a fast :48.7 swim. A mob of blue, clad athletes swarmed to the starting blocks to congratulate their team mates. Q. "Coach Earey, do you have a comment?" A. "Whew!" With DKE's tossed in 15 and Frank Kelly had 11 more. Billy Travis flipped in 13 points for KA while Randy Ringhauer had 12 and Warren Wills 11. The KA's had de feated Ruffin, 24-21, to earn the right to meet Phi Delt.
