Doubles Win ' (Special to Tks Daily Tar Heel) DAVIDSON, May 17 A strong rally by Del Sylvia in the last two sets of the finals of the Southern Conference singles championship here today brought him victory over top-seeded Tom Boys of Wil liam and Mary and gave Carolina a clean sweep of the tournament for the second year in a row. A victory in the doubles cham ionships was already assured to Carolina yesterday as both of their teams advanced to the finals. It was won today by Herb Browne and Bob Payne over teammates Sylvia and Sam Handel in four sets. It was the first time in the history of the conference that two freshmen havewon the tile. The first match of the afternoon was between Boys and Sylvia and it went the full length of five sets. Boys started out as if he was go ing to do a repeat performance of the match between he and Sylvia earlier in the season at Williams burg as he took the first set 6-4. However , Sylvia came back to win the next one 6-3, but Boys took the third one 6-4 to take the lead at intermission. After Inter mission it was a different story though as Sylvia, always a great competitor when the chips . are down, came back strong and Boys just couldn't keep up witR him as he won the last two sets 6-0, 6-0. Sylvia's overhead was sharp again today as he continued to "put them away." Coach John Kenfield of the Carolina tennis team commented " -(r:,.

The youngsters just didn't want to get beat as they showed a great com petitive spirit in beating the old er and more experienced team. The two will have three . more years to develop and should they continue to improve seem sure bets to dominate Southern Con ference doubles play for a long time. The sweep of the tournament was the eighth for Tar Heel teams and the second in a row. Last year's singles championship was won bv Buddy Agar, number two man of Carolina who beat this year's champion, Sylvia, in the finals. He then teamed up with Bob Luxemburg in the doubles to beat Boys and Barnes of Wil liam and Mary, this year's top seeded combination. The temperature today was well above ninety, as a relatively small crowd of 500 turned out to watch. The size of the crowd was held down by the fact that there were no Davidson players in the finals.

Duke's amazing freshman sen sation, Joel Shankle, was easily the outstanding competitor of the afternoon. He took firsts in the 120-yard high hurdles, the 220 yard low hurdles and second in the broad jump. His 14.7 in the highs, 23.4 in the lows and 23 ft. .3 58 in. broad jump were all creditable performances. Larry Hunt, West Virginia's top wcightman, won first places in both the shot put and the dis cus to account for 10 of his team's 15 points. His winning throw in the 'shot put was 49 ft. 7 in. and his discus throw was 139 ft. 6 in. Duke's Henry Poss, an alleged Olympic sprint prospect, lived up to his reputation to some slight extent in winning the 220. He sped the furlong distance in 21.5 after placing second in the 100 to Virginia Military's Herm Deck- j er in a 10.1 race. Poss susposedly had run 9.6 in previous meets. The final race of the day, the mile relay, provided the fans with a fitting climax to a very suc cessful meet. Maryland took the lead on the first lap and had stretched it ' to about 25 yards on j 2 Jim Baker and Ashton Violette closed down the gap' to six yards on the final exchange. by Martin Jordan , Carolina has claimed another national honor as Lew Floyd, sen sational goalie for the Tar Heel lacrosse team this year, has unH officially broken the national goal saves record.

Park in Maryland, is a junior and will return next season for his last year of eligibility. During the regular season Floyd broke the University single game goal saves record five times. Lew warded off 23 attempts by the Dartmouth squad, saved. 24 against Williams, stopped 25 Lehigh tries, and saved 26 goals against Yale early in the season. Last week Floyd stopped 33 attempts by the Washington and Lee club for his highest sin gle game mark. The Tar Heel goalie entered the Duke game Thursday with a total of 196 saves which topped the old national record by about ten. Coach Al Moore explained that as soon as Lew broke 200 they would claim the record, and with 22 saves in the Duke match the to tal jumped to 218, making Floyd new saves champion. All-American mentian may. be in line for Floyd due to his sen sational mark but there will be keen competition ." in the goalie departmeht'of the big honors. Sev eral goalies in the Maryland and New England leagues, where. la crosse is a veteran sport, have outstanding records this year and going will be rough for Lew in the All-American selections. Carolina has an improved rec ord this year having won five, lost six, and tied one. The -Tar Heels took the season opener from Georgetown but dropped the next three games to potent teams from Williams, Dartmouth, and Yale. The Carolina stickmen tied Le high and defeated the Norfolk Naval Air Station in the next two games. During the remainder of the season the. Tar Heels defeat ed the Norfolk Air Station again and beat' VPI twice while drop ping games to Washington and Lee and Duke.
