lie .Bite m CT9 MmIHIl Phantoms Taper .Off Captain Rose, Gersten, Smith To End Careers Bill Lange's White Phantoms "called it a season" yesterday afternoon in re gard to heavy practice sessions. The Tar Heels, preparing for their tourney opener with Wake Forest in Raleigh to morrow night, went tfirough their paces yesterday afternoon and from here in will taper off to the climax of the sea son this week end. There is a calm determination evi dent down at Woollen these days. Car olina is not looking ahead of the Deacon tilt and is concentrating simply on tak ing the rubber game of the series from the Baptists. The club is in good physi cal shape and should be ready for a full game of hotly contested, bruising bas ketball against the Deacs. Three Seniors Play Last Game The tournament games will mark the last appearance of varsity regulars Bobby Gersten, Julian Smith and Cap tain Bob Rose. The trio has furnished Bill Lange with a fine nucleus this year and their loss in June will be keen ly felt Too much cannot be said of Gersten. Bobby has played four years of splendid basketball for Carolina. As a com petitor he is without a peer. Time and again "Goatskin" has come through when the going was toughest for the Tar Heels. Prime examples this season of Gersten's timely play can be found in the game against the Goodyear Wingfoots, when, in the last five sec onds he dropped a game winning foul, and against Duke, just last Friday, when his field goal with less than three minutes left to play, pulled Carolina up on even terms with the Devils. Al though one of the smallest men on the squad, Gersten is regarded as one of the Tar Heel's best men off both the defensive and offensive backboards. Smith's Success Story.; ... .. . Julian Smith, who has moved into a regular forward post this season, can tell a surprising success story. Smith quite frankly was no great shakes as a freshman eager and spent the balance of his first year's competition on the bench. The coaching staff had faith and stuck with him for three years. That faith was justified as early as last season's NYU game when "Smit See BASKETBALL, page 4 Indoor Trackmen Have Photo Taken The Southern conference indoor championship track team will have its picture taken at 5:30 Thursday.

North Carolina, defending team champion, is favored to win the event and set a new mark. The Tar Heels' crack trio of Denman Hammond, Bob Ousley, and Whit Lees is undefeated this season and has turned in consist ently fine performances all along. Last winter in the Conference meet at Blacksburg Carolina's team of Roy Gibson, Ousley, and' George Coxhead easily won the medley relay and in doing so racked up a new. Conference short course record of 3:12.2. Gibson won't be on hand this Saturday but his sensational successor, Denman Ham mond, more than offsets his loss. Ham mond already has bettered the National Intercollegiate long course record for the 150-yard backstroke this season. .

Carlson, Representative Indoor Games ' Thrills, Aches Are Recorded By Bill Woestendiek The piled-up sections of Carolina's famous indoor track in the Tin Can are the only visible remains of Satur day's great track classic, but one cer tainty is that the events which took place here Saturday will not soon be forgotten by that gallant group of men who played their, parts to perfection in Carolina's mighty triumph and there are many such individuals. Mengel and Van Wagoner There is Warren Mengel, blond sen ior from Greensboro, who wasn't too particular in wrfich event he partici pated, but was definitely certain about what to do. Warren started things off in the afternoon by placing second in the broad jump and fourth in the high jump. Later in the evening the graceful timber-topping specialist raced to victory in the high hurdles and then filled up his score sheet with a third in the low hurdle race. There is Rich Van Wagoner, junior cross country man, who gave Duke's Wendy Lockwood his conqueror in the cross country championship, last fall a lesson in running the mile as he notched his name alongside of the other great milers who have taken the mile run and the Lionel Weil trophy. Ashby and Wise There is Percy Ashby, Durham sen ior, who outdid the hopes of some of his fondest supporters with his fine performances in the broad jump and 60-yard dash. Conceded a good chance in the broad jump, Percy leaped to first place. Given very little chance in the sprint, the Tar Heel ace almost upset VPI's Paul McMullin in taking second place. His total point scoring of eight points was second only to Mengel's. There is Mike Wise, senior leader of the conference cross country champ ions, who gave a great performance in his last appearance on the Woollen boards. Although he failed to win the 440, "Little Hot" chased Duke's great Werner Brown to a new conference record. Then he came back in the mile relay and ran the first leg for Caro lina like the Chicago Limited to give the Tar Heel quartet a big lead. And credit is well due to the other three baton carriers Larry Holzman, James Kelly surprise junior sensation and Ike Taylor who set a new con ference record running their first re lay. Profenius Really Runs There are many others Wimpy Lewis, who had the misfortune to meet Henry Profenius on a night when the bespectacled iJlue Devil flyer was really flying; Arthur Truxes and Frank Hardy, sophomore harriers, who ran well in their first conference two- mile gallop; Dick Hollander, Harry Lewis, Jim Lloyd and Truett Bennett who gave his greatest vaulting perfor mance in tying for second also de serve recognition for their parts in the smashing Carolina victory. On the other hand, disappointment and heartbreak did not pass over the Tar Heels without touching some of them. Mike Mangum, conference low hurdle champ last year watched that title go glimmering when Davidson's Archie Taylor upset him by the nar rowest of margins. Then there was Roy Cathey's performance in the 880. The big senior runner had the race well in hand, when he suddenly tight ened up in the last lap. Runner after runner went by Roy in the home stretch while the struggling Tar Heel captain saw his victory disappear See TRACK, page U Sports Staff Meets Tonight -There will be a collection of sport staff members tonight at 7:30 in the Night Office for the purpose of taking pictures for the Yackety-Yack.

Durham Tops To Win Class A Title, 33-32 Hanes Beats Cary, 28-26, to Take Class B Title A foul shot by Co-c"aptain Kenny Turner with only 15 seconds left in the game gave Durham high its fifth straight Class A high school cham pionship as the Bulldogs beat a fight ing Greensboro five 33-32 last night in Woollen gym. In the first game of the night Hanes high of Winston-Salem nosed out Gary, 28-26, to take its second straight Class B title. The Class A tilt was' a thriller from start to finish and the Greensboro team had a chance to tie the game up after the final gun but muffed its last chance. Gus Paschal, Greensboro center and high scorer of the game, was fouled just as the gun went off and awarded one free throw.

By Harry Hollingsworth Proving what was already thoroughly believed by its coach and the team members, the University of North Carolina swimming team pasted Duke's undefeated tank squad with a 54-21 beating here yesterday afternoon before nearly 650 jubilant Carolina stu dents who packed and jammed the seating facilities of Bowman Gray Memorial pool to its capacity. Large numbers of students turned away from the pool when they sawthe over-flowing mass of fans who watched the meet. The victory one of the most com- plete ever turned in by a Carolina swimming team over Duke University was evident nearly from the begin ning. And the" big star of the triumph which gave the Blue Dolphins their second Southern conference dual meet championship was none other than Denny Hammond, sophomore back stroker, who scored 15 points for the Tar Heels with victories in the 50 and 100-meter, freestyle races and in his specialty the 150-meter backstroke. Hammond Demonstrates Dexterity Hammond's performance was all the more superior because after winning the 50, he rested during the diving event, came back to cop first place honors in the 100 and five minutes later, tiring rapidly, he turned in an excellent race in the backstroke. Although the Tar Heels would have won tne meet witnout Hammond s triple participation, the margin of vic tory would not have been so much. Hisul5 points not only gave Carolina a greater advantage over the Devils, but it also demonstrated his stamina and dexterity in swimming the differ ent events. Other Standouts But there were other standout men for Carolina other than Hammond. Truman Hobbs came up with a third place in the 100-meter swim which hadn't been expected in pre-meet pre dictions; Co-captain Jim Barclay and Bill Elmore kept Co-captain Bill Brooks of Duke from placing in the 200-meter event; Billy Stone and An dy Weiss did likewise in the 400; John ny Feuchtenberger came up with his best diving exhibition this year; and "Little Chip" Henry Ortland put on a surprising fast finish in the breast stroke to capture second place behind Carolina's Bob Ousley. In all, the team Greensboro Five foul shot, Paschal missed his chance to become a hero. Durham, the Eastern champs, took the lead at the outset and led 14-12 at the half. Greensboro, Western title holders, came back in the second half to go out in front of the Bulldogs. The Purple Whirlwind sported a six- point lead, 25-19, at the end of the third quarter. In a hectic final quarter Durham put on a great rally and tied the game at 26 -all. The lead changed hands al ternately the rest of the game. Bright sent the Bulldogs out in front 32-30 with two minutes left, but Al Koefle sunk a long shot for Greensboro to tie the game at 32-32. With only 15 sec onds left Turner was fouled and he made the game-winning point. Previ ously he had missed five free throws. Kenny Turner was the leader of the Durham attack with nine points.

FRANKLIN ST. 1 A NEW THRILL IN PICTURE TAKING did its best job of the year, and Caro lina's coach Dick Jamerson said at the conclusion, "Give the boys all the credit. They did a fine job." And. it also might be recorded that "the boys" did a fine job of throwing Jamerson in the pool at the end of the race. Ten Records Smashed Ten records were smashed in the meet with two Southern conference long course marks falling by the way side. Duke's Gene Schuman, who prom ises to win both the conference 200 and 400-meter swims this weekend in the loop meet here, set new confer ence mark of 2:26.4 in the 200-meter race and won the 400 to score 10 of Duke's 21 points. Schuman jumped in the lead in the race at the 150-meter mark and sprint ed home in front of Carolina's Jim Barclav bv a couple of feet. Bill Brooks, Duke, who led the way for the first 100-meters, fell far back, and finished a poor fourth in the four man race. Schuman's time was also a new dual meet record. New Freestyle Record A second Southern conference rec ord was established in the 400-meter freestyle relay when the Carolina team of George Coxhead, Truman Hobbs, Jim Barclay and Whit Lees--an all-senior team whipped through the race in 4:19;6, bettering not only the conference mark of 4:20.6 by a full second, but also the pool record, the meet record-and the University mark. Other records were Bob Ousley's dual meet mark in the breaststroke; the Carolina medley relay team of Pete Hix, Ousley . and Lees which set a meet record; Hammond's dual meet mark in the backstroke, and " Schu man's dual meet time in the 400. Frosh Tankmen Swim Durham High In Finale Today Carolina's freshman swimming team will win its 27th consecutive victory this afternoon when it swims Durham high school in what will certainly be the climax of the season. The frosh thought last Friday when they defeated Duke's freshman team, 54-12, that they had completed the sea son, but frosh Coach Ralph Casey ar ranged the meet for today in order to give Percy Mallison another crack at the national freshman 100-meter long course record and George Whitner a similar opportunity at the 400-meter mark. The meet will start at 4:30 Casey announced. also stood out for the Bulldogs. Gus Paschal topped Greensboro with 10 points. Al Koefle and Tom Aydel- ette with seven points each were out standing. '..
