It'e t?n two years now since John noEild Badge, then as now the great- terris player of the age, decided hlt We loving cups, other" assorted of crockery and flannel pantied tige wearers were all very nice and the true, noble spirit of amateur encis. a man could not eat them.

That is the same ary Mr. Koosevelt received last year for being president of the United States. The war shot hell out of the pro fessional tennis business just as sorely as Mr Budge had done the same for the amateur net swingers through the simple process of being so very good that there was little nse of trotting out on the court and, tryiag to match cannon-balls with buckshot Without a market for his pro play, Mr. Budge, now engaged in the very sordid business of sell ing sporting goods for a living with muscle-flexing only an incidental, will play Archie Henderson this afternoon at the tennis courts in an exhibition match. Mr. Budge will probably annihilate Archie. Henderson is a brilliant tennis performer but it is alleged with all iinds of authority that even William A. Tilden III would have had diffi culty keeping up with the red-headed beamish boy. Archie is a bright young man in the amateur set, but this is business for Mr. Budge and anyway, Archie hasn't been on the big-time for two summers. ARCHIE WAS WHIZ Bat to keep at the peak in any sport, you have to play every day. Henderson missed all of the big tournaments last summer. He was sick and remained in Chapel Hill working towards his master's de gree. Archie spent the past winter afternoons in the Tin Can trading shots with the members of John Kenfield's tennis team, but it takes competition to sharpen a man's game. Henderson has promised to get back on the tennis map this snmmer and perhaps he should ask Mr. Budge to return some time in September. Budge may have to by then, anyway, just to get some com petition. Don was through Chapel Hill last January when he and Ellsworth Vines were on their triumphal tour of the provinces. The general idea was that the winner would travel through Eu rope, get to Australia and stick his hands in a pot of gold to the tune of $25,000 which ain't mean pickings considering the wages you get these days in the cotton fields.

The frosh team went through almost the same actions as in the State game, but instead of making its mistakes in the first inning, made them in the third. Louisburg put together three singles, a base on balls, a stolen base, an error and a hit batsman to score four runs almost before the frosh could collect their wits. But the Louisburg scoring gave the frosh ideas of their own and they went to work on Ed Kimball, the Junior col lege starting hurler, in the fourth. They were then behind 6-1 in the scor ing. Cam Roberts poked a hit through first and second that rolled to the fence for a triple. Bob Saunders fol lowed up with another triple, after Roberts had scored on a passed ball, into left field that stopped rolling when it hit the fence.

A letter quartet of Frosty Snow, Charles DuTendal, Neal Herring and Hudson Boyd holds the answer to Coach Chuck Erickson's dream of golf ing fame for his linksmen. These four stalwarts carried the major part of the burden last spring when the Tar Heels went through a tough slate like a house afire, murdering all opposi tion save Duke. EXPERIENCE Although Carolina gained little in the way of spoils last season, the ex perience should stand them in good stead, and some hot scores by the "Big Four" wouldn't be unexpected. All four of these players have led the way in practice rounds conducted at the home Hillandale course, and that, together with their previous record, has led Coach Erickson to believe that the boys have "arrived.' Charlie Dif fendal went over the Hillandale lay out in par 71, while Frosty Snow, the only Carolina performer to survive the first day of tourney play last spring, was close , behind. - .37 10 9 27 11 3 x Batted for Roberts in sixth, xx Batted for Barrier in fifth.

DRIVE IN TODAY Texaco Products Firestone Tires Marfak Lubrication University Service Station Trackmen Other Than Placers Last Weekend Now Have Their Chance Tar Heel track fans saw their old reliables come through last Saturday to help in the defeat of Princeton, but it is probable that few onlookers noticed how close other Carolina middle dis tance men finished in their events. Princeton swept all three places in the quarter mile, but Jim Davis and Dave Morrison in the half, Tom Crock ett and Jim Vawter in the two mile, and Davis and Crockett together in the mile outscored their Tiger oppo nents 22-5 in the three longer running events. Since Davis and Crockett, seniors, Morrison, a junior, and Vaw ter, a second-year man, were consis tently dependable last year, the coaches are watching the runners-up who were almost in the scoring. Davis, Princeton's Eddie Burrowes and Morrison ran away from the half mile field, Davis' time being 1:55.6 splendid for the first meet of the sea son. Less than a stride separated these three, and close behind were Mike Wise and Johnny French, 880 men who are looked to in the future. Davis will probably be running only the mile later in the season, and Morrison, the only other monogrammed 880 man, and Wise and French will be counted on for other places. Davis had a double portion of work last weekend, as did Crockett, but it is likely that when Holt Allen, Henry Branch, Bill Gordon or Jim Toy are ready, Davis will run only the mile. Allen and Branch are cross-country lettermen, and Gordon has won awards in both cross country and track. Crockett and Vawter may have been (Continued on page 6 column 6) Frosh Intrasquad Meet Scheduled Tomorrow Carolina's frosh trackmen will par ticipate tomorrow in an intersquad meet in order for the coaches to see exactly what they have. Regular dis tances will be run in only two events the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Other track events ate 70-yard high hurdles, 120-yard low hurdles, 330-yard run, 660-yard run, three-quarter mile run, and mile and a half Each contestant will be given six tries in the shot put, discus, javelin and. broad jump, and the pole vault and high jump will be conducted in ordinary fashion. LACROSSE TEAM APPEARS READY FOR DUKE OPENER When Carolina's Lacrosse Indians tangle with Coach W. H. Person's Duke Blue Devils in Durham Satur day, the Indians will be out to open their 1940 Dixie League schedule with a victory. Carolina's Coach Al Corn sweet has been scrimmaging his charges at a fast clip for the past two weeks, and the big fellows appear as though they could give any team in the league quite a tussle, including last year's co-champion Blue Devils. With only Co-Captain Fred Berdan missing from yesterday's stiff work out due to illness, the boys banged each other around in grand fashion during the hour-long scrimmage ses sion. Beers, Fink'el and Clark were all over the field, fighting for the ball almost constantly. Bruised thighs and skinned knees were much in evidence, as the Indians were quite intent upbn demonstrating their individual wares for Coach Cornsweet's benefit. Not withstanding the fact that they have been out only a few days, Dan De- sich and Al Remy were in the cen ter of most of the afternoon activi ties. Both men whacked away with the big sticks in the accepted manner, and proved that they would have to be reckoned with when the. starting (Continued on page 6, column 4) Zeta Psi Softball Team Beats Sigma Chi, 11-0, For 21st Win In A Row YESTERDAY'S RESULTS Tennis Kappa Alpha, 3; Sigma Nu No. 2, 1.

Most of the second round matches between Carolina players were held here yesterday, and the favorites again came through. Remaining in the tour ney for Carolina are Archie Hender son, Charlie Rider, Harris Everett, Ham Anthony, Zan Carver, and a few others not regular members of Ken field's team. In the first and only fourth round match yesterday, Henderson licked Meserole 6-4, 6-1. Walt is still left for participation in doubles, however. For the first time in history a coed went to the tourney for Carolina. Eleanor Stroud lost to Alice McDon ald, the Chicago player, 6-2, 6-2. Over half of the original entry list of players was from Carolina, and the proportion remaining is still heavily in favor of the Tar Heels. Finals will be played Saturday, and results to date indicate the singles crown, now worn by Charlie Rider, will probably lie between Archie Hen derson and Martin Buxby, Miami sen sation. Harris Everett is breezing through early competition and will be in the running. Quarter-finals will be played this (Continued on page 6 column 5) TEMPORARY SEATS PUT UP FOR LARGE CROWD EXPECTED By BILL BEERMAN It's all free, so pick out a nice, near by tree in case you don't arrive on, or before 3 o'clock, when the thing starts. Last January fans paid Madison. Square Garden admission prices to see Donald Budge, the tennis wizard,, in action. This afternoon, at the stroke of 3, the same gentleman, com plete with red hair and freckles, will give a public demonstration of his sport absolutely free. Budge meets Archie Henderson of" Carolina in a featured singles match,, and will probably participate in a doubles engagement. The tall pro fessional arrives in Chapel Hill about noon today, the guest of John Ken field, Tar Heel net coach. Temporary bleachers have been set up on the varsity clay courts, and the first 1,700 persons to reach the scene will get to see the goings-on in comfort. Provisions will be made for overflow crowds somehow, but trees are still the best bet. J.
