Memories were carried back to
the "Golden Era" of Carolina'
sports yesterday afternoon as one
of the brightest stars of that era,!
Vic Seixas, currently the number i
one amateur tennis player in the!
nation, returned to the Carolina'
courts for an exhibition. He de-!
feated Del Sylvia, newly crown-!
rd Southern Conference singles!
champion in a singles match, andj
teamed up with Herb Browne in!
the doubles to defeat Bob Payne!
and Clark Taylor, Carolina tennis'
captain in 1950. Payne and
Browne are the new doubles
champions of the Southern Con
ference. Seixas, who was a star tennis
player here in 1948 and '49, was
not pushed to take victories in
both of the matches. However, at
times he displayed flashes f the
game which got him the number
one ranking among amateur ten
nis players in the nation this
year.
A crowd of approxirr.ate'y 2000
was on hrmd for the mat'h as
threatening weather held the ex
pected number down. Morning
rains almost caused cancelling of '
the exhibition but the weather
cleared up in time to get the
courts in shape for the match.
However, the courts were very
slow &xl hampered the play to
some extent.
At one time during the doubles
match, the rain started to fall and
sent some of the spectators run
ning1 for cover. But it didn't last
long and is was not necessary to
halt play.
