out of 10 times, Tar Heel teams have been catching it from every! in a Southern Conference contest
angle. The ole timers have, quick to remember how things use to be,
let us know about the Golden Era of Choo Choo, Vic Seix'as Harvie
Ward, Norm' Sper, and company. A lot of us here now saw those fine
athletes in action at some time or another and there's no getting
around it they were great. .
"But, wait a minute. We've got a couple of tearms in action right
now 'that fill into any great ear, golden or otherwise. Both the tennis
team and the golf team are undefeated right now and from all indi
cations they're going to go on that way for a good while yet. Maybe
the boys aren't as polished as the members of those "Golden Era"
- teams but then you've got to remember that the players on those
post-war teams were vets for the most part and .held about four more
years 'experience on most of our present day. athletes. Anyhow, when
you come right down to -it, I'll take the present day tennis and golf
teams over the boys of the Golden Age maybe they aren't as good
right now but potentially, they're way ahead.
Take the tennis team. The boys of Coach John Kenfield have
swept to 14 straight victories and whereas . an undef eated season - is
something you don't predict when a team has 26 matches on the
schedule, the tennis team should come mighty close to that record
this springThe Tar Heel netters are the defending Southern Con-
frence champions and this year's team looks ever better than last
yar's winners. .
Golfers MaftG A Pretty Picture
As far as individual stars go, Coach Kenfield has three young
players who can stand just about even with the "Golden boys." Del
Sylvia, last year's runner-up to teammate Bud Ager for the SC
singles title, is the captain this season and Kenfield's number-one
man. He was the favorite in last year's loop tournament, losing to
Agarin an upset, and will probably be the top man wnen tne con
ference tourney comes around later this spring. ,
The real prides and joys and the ones who may turn the Golden
Era into the bronze age are a pair of freshmen, Herb Browne and
Bobby Payne, Browne won the Interscholastic championship this
past summer' at Charlottesville, -Va. and has been playing in the
second nosition behind Sylvia. Browne is the number three man
but there's not a-chalk line's.difference between the two. Browne and
Payne have been' playing-doubles together, too, and to watch them
play" together is -better than seeing a TV program without the static.
The best part about it is that they've bothgot lots of playing time
to go before they reach their peaks. Browne and Payne both have a
few more years around the Southern Conference and there's no tell
ing what they'll do in those years. After all, regardless of the great
record he's posting, now, Vic Seixas didn't win the Southern Confer
ence championship until his junior year when he beat Fred Koval
eskie of William and Maryland he lost the crown his senior year
ot the same Kovaleskie: . " '
We've Got The Individual Stars, Too
As for golf the picture, iit's just as bright. Coach Chuck Erickson
has a team made up of four juniors, a sophomore, and a freshman
this year and if they don't fake any conference or national honors
this year then who ever does win had better lock up the trophies
next year. You might say that there's no Harvie "Ward on the team
but even that's questionable now. Tommy Langley, the sophomore
member of The team, is showing the same promise that Harvie
showed when he was a sophomore, if not more. Langley holds the
Finley Course record along with 'Lil Harvie andfootballer Larry
Parker at 65 and with two more years to go eight wHl get you five
that he'll take that mar kdown a stroke ortwo. The High Point
blaster has been averaging under par 72 for the eight matches the
Tar Heels have won ana o nas Deen nis oesi rouuu m w.c&
petition. That's good for any era. - "
Bill Williamson hasn't quite reached his peak this year but the
fact that he went to the semi-finals of the Southern Amateur this
past summer shows that he's, got what it akes. Coach Erickson is
also blessed with something few coaches ever find strength down
the line. ' .
The Golden Era looks like it's on the road back. Or better, maybe
it never went away. Any way you look at it the prospects for Caro
lina teams don't look too bad. Take a look around. The sun still
shining in Chapel Hill. i : . i - -': '.li s
Pitcher Chalmers Port turned
in one of the best mound perfor
mances seen this year, holding
Davidson to four hits, striking out
seven, and allowing only one
walk.- Port, who has had poor luck
all season after leading the team
last year, Was ahead of the bat
ters all the way. He retired the
side in order in six of nine in
nings and- had trouble with' the
Wildcats only once.

The Carolina tennis team will
lay its fourteen game winning
streak on the line Friday after
noon when it meets the team from
Kalamazoo College of Kalamazoo,
Michigan. On Saturday afternoon
the team will face probably- its
strongest competition to date
when it meets Duke in Durham.
According to Coach Kenfield,
the Kalamazoo team, will be fair
ly strong, being led by-their num
ber one man, Dick Cain, who
beat Del Sylvia last year in two
quick sets. Coach Kenfield, how
ever, is optimistic about this one
and will -be depending on his
depth to win.
About Cain, Coach Kenfield
says, "He is not a spectacular
player but is very steady." This
will be the fourth time that he
has been to Carolina on the Kal
amazoo team and so far he has
won two and lost one. Sylvia will
be out to even things up.
Coach Kenfield is not as op
timistic, however, about the match
Everett Vins :
Chess Matches
Both teams from Everett dorm
won matches Monday night in the
dormitory chess tournament.
Everett 2 won from Graham on
a forfeit while Doug Kahn of Ev
erett 1 defeated Bill Little of
"Stacy and Tom Makens drew with
Robert Hubbard of Stacy for the
other Everett victory.
In another match David Med
ian beat David Moose, Jr., of Lewis
while David Moose, Sr., was win
ning from Carl Howard, also of
Lewis, to give -Old West a 2-0
win.
In the final match Alexander
and Winston tied when David
Evans of Winston defeated Ralph
Pugh and Kit Crittenden of Al
exander defeated Lewis Alread.
with Duke on Saturday. Although
he expects to win the number one
match, he says that they may be
stronger on down the line. "Ac
cording to comparative scores,"
says Kenfield, "they have a bet
ter team than we do. However,
you can't count too much on that,
the outcome, will depend on the
frame of mind the boys are in
and how well they play."
Washington
Lacrossmen
Here Friday
The Carolina lacrosse team
will resume play Friday after a
week's rest from its tough sche
dule when they meet Washing
ton College here. .
. Coach Al Moore's stickmen
have a season record of two wins,
three losses and one tie, having
defeated Georgetown and Norfolk
Naval Station while losing to
Yale, - Dartmouth, Williams, and
tying Lehigh.
Goalie Lew Floyd, who has
broken the Carolina saves record
four times this season, will be
one of the leading man on the
Tar Heel squad. Freshman Dickie
Harrall, holding down crease pos- '
ition, has been the Tar Heel's
main scoring threat but may miss
the game due to a chest injury
received last week.
Washington College, which
was best in the Maryland league
last year, won ten and lost two
last season. The strong Washing
ton squad is expected to have a
powerful, team this . spring and
will furnish the Tar Heels with
more than enough competition.
The game will begin at 3 p.m.
Friday afternoon on Navy Field.
