PINEHURST, N. C., April 9.
—The twenty-second annual
United North and South cham
pionship tennis tournament start
ed today on the clay courts of
the Pinehurst Country^ Club with
a record field of 76 contenders
in the men’s singles and twelve
in the women’s singles.
The men’s field is composed
almost entirely of collegians, an
enthusiastic group, and they are
all keen to win, and paying
their own expenses, something
of a rarity in these days.
Forty-one of them are Uni
versity of North Carolina stu
dents, and that is explainable by
the fact that they can motor
from Chapel Hill to Pinehurst
and return every day. They
carry their own lunch boxes or
patronize hot-dog stands en
route, with a “coke” or “pop”
to wash it down. * '
in all the history of intercol
legiate tennis, there has never
been a time when so many en
tries have been received from
one college. John Kenfield, the
coach, who has sent out year
after year the finest tennis
teams in the United States, is
proud of the school’s spirit, and
has high hopes of carrying off
the title. ■* ' \
Martin Buxby of Miami, a
Class A national ranking play
er, is No. 1 in the seeding, fol
lowed by Archie Henderson,
Charles Rider, defending cham
pion, Bill Rawling, Don Buf
fington, Walter Meserole, Zan
Carver and Harris Everett. All
hut Buxby and Buffington, of
Duke, are from North Carolina.
More than forty matches were
wiped off the schedule today.

RUMOR BREMEN SUNK
(By the Associated Press)
Adolf Hitler’s mighty German1
army yesterday streamed into*
Denmark and Norway by land,,
by sea and by air, seized the
capitals of Copenhagen and Oslo,,
and brought about a new, Nazi
directed government in Norway
and extended the “wartime pro*
tection” of the third Reich to*
two kingdoms—3,750,000 .Danes:
and nearly 3,000,000 Norwegians.
Denmark did not resist; Nor
way met the invasion with scat
tered v fighting, principally at
Oslo. .
After the Norwegian capital
had capitulated in mid-afternoon*
DNB, the Official German news
agency, reported that the regime
of Premier Johan Nygaarsvold
had turned oyer its powers to st
cabinet headed by Major Vid
kun Quisling, Norwegian Nazi
deader, as premier and foreign
minister.
German authorities today said
they knew nothing concerning
rumors circulated in Amsterdam
that the German ^ liner Bremen
had been sunk.
Dread of a quickly spreading,
war gripped neutral nations of
southeastern Europe today as
the German invasion of Scandi
navia was coupled with reports
that the Nazis ^ had demanded^
the right to police the" Danube;, _
pressing Rumania, Yugoslavia
and Hungary.
