GUEBORD INJUN SCORER
The Carolina netters scored
their second .victory of the sea
son yesterday afternoon, over
powering the visiting Dartmouth
team, 7-1, on the cement courts.
More than 200 enthusiastic spec
tators were . on hand to see the
famous; Tar Heels crush their
strong opposition.
Walter Levitan, captain, suf
fered the lone defeat for Caro
lina in the opening match of the
day. The other five singles
matches were ably handled by
Harvey Harris, Ricky Willis,
Eddy De Gray, Frank Shore, and
Ike Minor, no player dropping
a set in their string of victories".
The two doubles went to Caro
lina. The third doubles match
of the afternoon was stopped by
darkness with the Dartmouth
"combination in the lead.
Guibord Errorless
Paul Guibord, Dartmouth lead
off man, gave a splendid per
formance as he polished off Lev
itan in straight sets. ' Playing.
steadily and with unerringrj con
sistency, the Indian star out
played the Carolina captain
from start to end.
Levitan misstroked repeated
ly and never hit his stride. He
did rally in the final set and with
a cautious lob and effective an
gle drop shot, he closed in on
his opponent but was unable to
retain the pace and Guibord's
virtual service ace ended the
encounter.
On the other court, Harvey
Harris was in the midst" of a
masterful exhibition against
the Indian captain, Bob Husted
Husted failed to reach any sort
Play Again Today

turn match has been granted
the Indians, and although it
will not be official, both teams
are anxious for another en
counter. The men will be shifted to
day. Levitan will face Hust
ed, making the match a bat
tle of captains, and Harris will
meet the star of the Indians,
Paul Guibord.

Days
Dartmouth Boys Especially Im
pressed with Good Food and
Cheap Rate of Swain Hall.
Evidently the Dartmouth ten-
nis team, from way up north in
New Hampshire, finds southern
hospitality very much to its
liking. Since last Saturday
morning the Indians have been
m Chapel Hill and they still
plan, to spend one or two more
days here before starting home
by Virginia.
Carolina was the first oppo
nent of the Dartmouth netsters
who are spending their annual
spring vacation by -taking the
tour in this section. On their
way back to New Hampshire
the Indians have a meet sched
uled with William and Mary,
Thursday, and a tentative one
with Virginia, Friday.
In an interview with . Paul
Guibord, Dartmouth number one
man who handed Captain Levi
tan a licking, it was learned that
the Indians were especially -impressed
with Swain hall, the
campus dining hall.
Can't Figure It Out
The tennis ace said that he
and his mates were used to pay
ing from eight to ten dollars
weekly, for meals and, not even
receiving as good food as Swain
hall serves for five dollars per
week. The northern boys have
been "eating at Swain , hall since
last Saturday.'
Guibord said thai the boys
were fond of the beer they had
obtained in Chapel Hill and
think the girls here are ex
tremely nice. ;
Jn sneaking of the weather
Guibord stated that since it was
still, cold and bare up north the
flowers and trees blooming m
the warm south were especially
noteworthy. .
v The Dartmouth team was not
greatly upset over its loss, the
boys feeling that they were
fafjrom top shape due to; the
lack' of practice.; Guibord said
the team had only-been able to
work out, twice indoors before
starting the tour. - ;
TAKE SNAPPY WORKOUT
Despite the fact that a heavy
rain throughout the early morn
ing left the track in a very sog
gy condition," the varsity squad
went through a snappy workout
yesterday afternoon in prepara
tion for its opening with the
William and Mary team on Sat
urday.
Last year the Tar Heels won
the annual meet at Williams
burg by a 7214-0314 margin, and
with several of last year's per-
iormers on notnteams bacn a
fine meet is expected.
Outstanding for the. W. & M.
color bearers is "Monk" Little,
who is rated as one of the great
est non-conference athletes in
Dixie. Little is exceptionally
well versed in the track art and
competes with equal ability in
the dashes, broad jump, javelin
throw, and the quarter-mile.
Take Three Firsts
Last year Little took first
honors in the 100, 220. and
broad jump, and runner-up to
Carolina's mighty LaGore with
a heave of 197 feet, six inches
in the javelin. If Carolina is
successful in holding "Monk" to
but 18 points, they will be ac
complishing a real afternoon's
work.
mt f t i 1
rnougn .Little is without: a
doubt a "one-man team," the
Williamsburg squad also boasts
other fine material. In the
quarter-mile they will present
Smelzer as leading opposition to
Carolina's Conference title-
holder, "Red" Drake. Smelzer
won the event m lyd4 with a
51.4 performance.
- Another ace for the Virgin
ians will be Piatt Bullard,.who
last year placed second in the
440 event. This season he is
rated as greatly improved, but
what events he will participate
in are as yet unknown. In the
Charlotte Jay-Cee meet this past
winter, after failing in the .880
event, he went out later to finish
well up in the two-mile race, fin
ishing ahead of Bird of Duke,
former S. I. C. champ.
The fourth shining light for
the W. & M. team is Plummer,
a strong competitor in both the
one and two-mile runs.
FIRST YEAR NINE
CANDIDATES TAKE
REST; TILT TODAY
Wet Grounds Force Postpone
ment; Players Disappointed.
The yearling nine candidates
were given a holiday yesterday
afternoon due to exceedingly
wet grounds, the field being fit
for swimming purposes only. De
spite the inclement weather the
squad turned out en masse and
was rather disappointed to hear
that practice had been called
off.
Practice will be resumed as
usual today beginning at 3:30
sharp, and the opening inter-
squad game will most probably
be held late this afternoon. Al
though the batters are still far
away from their peaks, Coach
James will be able to get a pret
ty good idea as to how his
charges stand up in competition.
The wealth of good material
on hand has led to some closely
contested fights for the respec
tive positions, and, the team
which is chosen finally will un
doubtedly be a formidable ag
gregation.
Although the squad has been
divided up into four outfits, a
definite regular nine , has not
been picked, and will not be- un
til Coach James is sure that he
has seen every one playing the
best baseball that -he is capable
of. " - -
With its .initial scheduled
game, but two weeks away, the
frosh club will start hard prepa
ration this afternoon, and the
rest of its' training program will
probably be devoted to daily
practice games. - .,-

SPORTS MEETING
There will be an important
meeting of the sports staff
this afternoon in the Daily
Tar Heel office at Graham
Memorial.. AH members of the
staff and other students who
desire to try out, are urged to
attend.
With the Tilden troupe comes
Ellsworth Vines. Tall, poker
faced and earnest, this gangling
California youth has been an
amazing figure in tennis for the
past few years.
Five years ago Vines idled into
the foreground with his magni
ficent game. After but a few
months tournament tennis his
name became a household word.
National Champ
In 1931, with the plaudits of
thousands of admirers ringing
in his ears, he culminated his
efforts with the annexing of the
United States singles champion
ship. ' .
He crossed the ocean and be
came an international sports
figure when he drove, his way
through the competition at Wim
beldon. The world's greatest
players fell beneath him and he
was recognized as the greatest
amateur of the day.
The next year, 1932, he re
peated at Forest Hills to capture
his second United States crown.
He made-it a banner year by
teaming with Keith Gledhill,
and capturing the doubles title
as well.
Then campe the tragic slump
of the popular champion. In de
fense of his title in 1933, Vines
bowed to little "Bitsy" Grant,
Carolina pride, before ever
reaching the finals.
Turns Pro
He was through, and after a
few more eatings, a masterful
stroke of the pen made Vines a
professional. His addition
brought pro ball tremendous
popularity within a few months
Back came his former skill and
at present he possesses the most
effective game in the world
Only Fred Perry can dispute
that question but their meeting
will have to be delayed at least
one more year.
On the present tour he has
been a whirlwind. Lester S toe-
fen' was completely outclassed
in every match and how Vines
is continuing his mad pace
against Hans Nusslein.
, His crushing game makes him
a master exhibitionist. His
powerful serve, his consistent
bombardment with his forehand
and his all-around brilliance
combine to put Vines at the top
of the tennis world. Many con
tradict this statement and offer
Tilden as their choice.

SPRING PRACTICE
IN TIN CAN TODAY
Drills Start at 4 O'clock; Boys
Will Take Light Work.
NO FROSH NET TILT
The freshman tennis open
ing match with Presbyterian
Junior College, scheduled f or
today,' has been cancelled. In
stead, the Duke meet, origin
ally scheduled for Monday,
has been advanced to Friday,
April 5, and will be the open
ing meet. It will be played
I at Chapel Hill.
At a meeting held yesterday
afternoon in Emerson stadium,
Coach Crayton Howe assem
bled his veteran and novice box
ing talent and announced that
the first spring practice work
out will take place this after
noon at 4 o'clock in the Tin
Can. Light workouts will con
stitute the routine until the boys
round into shape.
The team next year will be
captained by Ernie Eutsler,
scrappy little featherweight.
Eutsler showed up extremely
well in his first year of varsity
competition as a featherweight
and will be expected to do even
better next winter. Eutsler will
finish his career this coming
year.
One Champ
The 1935 Carolina leather
pushers turned in a creditable
season and brought home one
Southern Conference winner,
Captain Sam Giddens, the lone
Tar Heel boxer to survive the
tournament, ended his career in
a brilliant and fitting manner.
Sam has been in search of a
Southern Conference crown for
three years but could not quite
bear down enough .before. How
ever, his perseverance assisted
long enough : for conference
fans to see his hand raised as a
token of victory over Lombardo
of Maryland in the finals of the
165-pound class.
Many of last year's sopho
mores will be back with a year
of experience- under their belts.

For Player to Fill Third
Base Position.
OPEN AGAINST DAVIDSON
The Women's Tennis Club will
hold its first meeting from 7 to
7 :30 tomorrow night. The meet
ing was postponed from Mon
day because of the conflict with
Dr. Groves' marriage address.
It is important that all inter
ested be present at this first
meeting.
With Emerson field in a slop
py condition due to April show
ers, Coach Bunn Hearn's base
ball team took only a light work
out yesterday.
All members of the pitching
staff warmed up their hurling
arms with Catchers Tatum,
Cook, and Strayhorn.
Coach Hearn told the players
to expect extra hard work be
tween now and the opening
game, since the wet diamond
hampered yesterday's practice.
The team has only three more
days in which to prepare for the
initial contest with Davidson.
Problem at Third
The Tar Heel mentor is still
faced with the problem of find
ing a "man to start at the third
base position Friday. Bullardr
Jones, Schriver, and DashieB
are the leading candidates for
the post.
Coach Hearn has a well
rounded veteran outfield in
Captain Thurman Vick, Ed Sha
piro, and Gus Mclver. This trio
will likely get the call to start
Tommy Irwin, sensational
shortstop, should have no trou
ble breaking into the lineup
against Davidson. Buck McCarn
and Trip Rand should land
starting berths at the first and
second base positions, respec
tively, while Jim Tatum seems
to be first in the running among:
the catchers.
