? ismmi h /* Op(*u,>c By CLINT FULLER Most fans wish that Carolina would not cut it so close in winning the big games. The Tarheels almost gave Ouquesne the semi- final game in the Eastern Regionals. Given a few seconds more and the Dukes would have pulled it out. And Davidson certainly played as well if not better than Carolina in Saturday's Regional Championship contest. Charlie Scott's great shot with two seconds left made the difference. The average fan can only surmise that Carolina is going to have to get better to get through the Nationals at Louisville. One . of the most heralded stars in Carolina basketball history is Charlie Scott. One can think of no honors that have not come to him although he has yet another year to play. He made the Olympic squad; he was chosen to the ACC team and is an Ail-American. There seems little that Carolina could do for him that it hasn't done. In a post-victory interview Saturday, Scott, however, indicated that he may not be back for his senior year. He doesn't think the ACC sportswriters think he is as great as he thinks he is. He has accused the writers of selectihg South Carolina's classy sophomore John Roche as the ACC tournament's most valuable player and of chosing him unanimously to the All Conference squad because he is white. The Carolina star has been listening too much, to his fellow Black Student Move ment associates. Long before civil rights became a household word, sports writers were praising black athletes for their abilities. Most sportswriters are hard-nosed characters. If a player is good, they say so. If he isnt, the color of his skin and nothing else would get their approval. There can be no doubt but that Scott is one 6f the great ones at Carolina. This has been said time and time again. It is our opinion, however, that Maloy of Davidson -also black-is better. We do not think Scott is yet in the same league with Larry Miller and Lennie Rosenbluth, among others. In his senior year he may join that illustrous group of all-time greats, but he doesn't belong there just yet. It is a pity that he has felt compelled to bring race into the selection of All Conference players by the ACC sportswriters. College basketball has done much for Charlie Scott. He should be grateful. The Youngsville Phantoms hive little to look forward to ill this week's state tournament. The defending State Champs meet the number one ranked team in this section, Red Springs, in the quarter-finals Wednesday night at 7:lVP.M. Red Springs stands 24-0 for the season and seems a sure bet to be the team favored to win the title. This year's tournament is being played at Broughton High School gym in Raleigh. In past years, the state playoffs were held in Durham. Justice Fire Supper Set The Justice Volunteer Fire Department will stage its an nual fund raising supper Fri day.

Canes Split Openers With Southwood Louisburg College's Hurri canes lost a tough 3-2 deci sion to Southwood's Rams Monday in the (list game of the twinbill, but came back in the second game to down the Rams 4-1. The Canes held a The Expert "Your methods of cultiva tion are hopelessly out of date," said the youthful agri cultural college graduate to the old farmer. "Why, I'd be astonished if you got even ten pounds of apples from that tree." "So would I," replied the farmer. "It's a pear tree." 2-0 lead in the opener going into the 6th inning of the 7 inning game, but two singles and a home run by Rom Rackiey, his only hit of the day, put the Rams ahead 3-2.

She substituted for my wife on our honey moon." in the top of the 7th but couldn't push him across. Chico Montoya had 2 hits, and Phil Gray a triple to lead the Canes. E. V. Spell was the lower, giving up 5 hits and striking out 8. In the second game Louis burg scored 2 runs in the 1st and 2 in the 4th to win 4-1 behind Dave Flowers. He also gave up 5 hits and struck oat 8. He walked the first two men in the 7th, and was relieved by John Lewis. He got John Dereski to hit into a double play, and struck out the next man to preserve the win for Flowers. Montoya had two hits, and Dan West and Tom Cox powered hom ers to lead the Canes. "The first game loss was tough after leading all the game", commented Coach Russ Frazier. "Spell pitched a fine game, and it's rough lot ing a game like that. It was good to win the secpnd game. Anytime we can split away from home. I'll be happy. We did a real good job defensive ly, playing both games with out an error. This is a little unusual for opening games. Our hitting will improve as soon as we are able to get in a little practice." The Canes open their home season Friday when they meet N. C, State at 2:45. On Monday and Tues day of next week they meet Western Maryland and Friday and Saturday they take on Williams College, all at home.

C. - One summer day in the early fifties this writer journeyed out to Griffith Park, primari ly to see that great hitter known then as the Splendid Splinter, Ted Williams. The Red Sox were In town for four and Williams was, as usual, batting clean-up. It was a hot day and when the ball was tagged it sailed. Williams put two of them out of the park and the first shot was one of the hardest hit balls ever seen in old Griffith Sta-; dium. The crowd gasped at the awesome flight of the ball-at 400 feet still sizzling Date Changed For School Case Hearings Eastern District Judge Algernon L. Butler has changed the date for hear ing on motions In the Franklin County Assault (Continued from Page 1) Act. passed by Congress last April. The law prohibits racially motivated at tempts to interfere with or to intimi date a person seeking housing. At torney Tucker described Caple as a "block-buster out to cause trouble" by moving into the all-white neighbor hood. Caple charged that La wing had threatened to kill him. The case against the two Morgans is expected to be heard in District Court here Monday, March 31. school case from Wednesday, March 19, to Wee lesday, April 9, 1969. Attorneys were informed of the change last week. Reason for the change was explain ed in Judge Butler's letter as due to the filing by the U. S. Justice Depart ment of a Motion for Production of Documents on Monday of last week. The time for the hearing was moved up "to enable the defendants to file on or before April 2, 1969, a response, brief, affidavit or other document in o p position to plalntiff-intervenor's Motion for Production of Documents, if they be so advised". Judge Butler stated in his letter the change was being made "in order to avoid proliferating hearings on mot Ions in this protracted case." The school suit was brought originally in. December 1965 by eleven county Negro parents and the Board of Educa tion has been under some type of court order since soon thereafter. Last fall the Board was ordered to eliminate the dual school system. Charges were brought In January by the government and the NAACP that the Board was operating segregated classrooms within its integrated schools. The Board has vigorously denied the charges. The hearings are now slated for 2:30 P.M. on April 9 In the Judge's chambers in Clinton, N. C.

SMITH DOUGLASS BORDEN INC. ? SMITH-DOUGLASS DIVISION NORFOLK, VA. ? r By Pete Fritchie high and away. Some of these same fans will soon have a chance to watch Williams regularly in the national capital. They are a little older, and so is Wil liams. And as Williams him self says, his ten years of retirement should have help ed cool his temper as the new Washington manager. Williams was never easy on reporters hut reporters are admittedly a gritty, aggressive breed', and one can under stand it in a sensi. Williams never let them run over him and called them down when they stretched facts, which too many in Boston did, by the way. Even giving Williams his due in the long war he waged with the press, chances that he will be a top-flight manag er appear slim. Few of the great hitters have. Surely he will be sorely tried In ;hls effort to lift Washington /out of the cellar. ' But he will be a gate at traction, like Casey Stengel was with the losing Mets and he has a certain class,' which may rub off on the Senators. No man kpows as much as he thinks he knows and few are as ignorant as they think they are. :;jj IGA - SAVE YOUR TAPE GAME - $( ( ( FOR YOU ^ ^ ^ EACH WEEK. IN IGA'S SAVE YOUR TAPE GAME Be A Winner ?

Only one member of the team can almost talk equally to Williams as a slugger, Frank Howard. And one of the interesting things to watch this year will be to see if Williams helps big Frank to become an even more feared swatter than he is. ?
