WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1953 THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE THREE With if nymph Down In Front by Biff Roberts: A Shoyy Of Shows IT WAS SURPRISING to learn from tennis coach John Kenfield that the student response to tickets fr the pro tennis matches to be held in Woollen Gym next Monday night was pretty slow. The show, featuring Jack Kramer, Frank Sedgman, Pancho Segura, and Ken McGregor, has been having phenomenal success in packing in the crowds for each of its appearances and it seemed to me that the meeting here would be a near sell-out by now. Seems the reserved seat sales are going pretty well but the student and general admission places don't seem to be going as well. It's going to be one of the best athletic shows we'll have a chance to see here in Chapel Hill and certainly worth the $1.25 being charged for student tickets. There have been plenty Of professional tennis tours in the past but I don't think any of them can surpass the Kramer-Sedgman duel for speed, ability and even matching. The two have been closer than Martin and Lewis in their matches so far. Sedgman has held a slim lead for most of the time but the matches could easily stand even by the time the en tourage appears in Woollen Gym. Mismatched To Matchless MOST OF THE TOURS that have performed here in past years have almost, in fact, been mismatches. When Kramer turned pro in 1947 he went on a tour with the then champion Bobby Riggs and promptly belted the little fellow, 69-20. Dick Gonzales made a stab at beating the new pro champ and was also thrashed, 96-27. Segura himself came the closest to handling Kramer but he, too, lost in a shorter series, 56-28. So you can see how evenly Sedgman and Kramer stand in this series. The question as to which is the best has been one of the hottest questions in the tennis world for the past few years. The tour might have been started last year but Australia's tennis fans took up a collection to offset the lure sl the money of the pros and both he and McGregor stayed on another year to keep the Davis Cup down under and far .away from our own Vic Seixas and his Yankee teammates. But this winter after the Aussie duo had again won in the Davis Cup matches, Kramer lured them away by guaranteeing Sedgman $100,000 and McGregor. $75,000, not a bad price for hitting a tennis ball over the net providing you can hit it as well as they can. School Ties and Tries BUT YOU DONT GET THE idea that it's a pro match. There's no lackadaisical attitude on the part of any of the four and each match is almost a modern version of do-or-die for Dear Old Rutgers. Both Sedgman and Kramer play a fast game which makes the tour have even more appeal than those in the past and does away with any loafing. Segura and McGregor, although they get second billing to the Kramer-Sedgman battle, can still be counted on to give a great display of tennis. Segura is actually the present professional champ, having won the crown last year. On top of that, he was champion in 1950 and runner-up last year. McGregor, although he has been having a hard time with Segura in singles play, has been invaluable to Sedg man in the doubles matches. In fact, many tennis experts call him a better doubles player than the great Wimbledon, American, and Australian champion. At any rate, he and Sedgman enjoy a small lead over the Americans in the doubles. On Tickets, Etc. IT'S HARD TO PUT INTO A series like this, as other attempts; in the past have shown, a feeling of true competition, but Kramer seems to have come up with a change this time. True, the tennis in all of the past matches has been good, but the scores in games, sets, and matches have all been too predominately Kramer. It's a pretty even show now. All of which points out the kind of entertainment we can expect next Monday night that is, those of us who have the tickets. The student seats and the general admission numbered only 1,500 when tickets first went on sale so you can see that there will be a limited number now. All of the rest of the seats are reserved and sell for $2.50. They have been selling well, according to ?he Woollen Gym ticket office, however, so the supply will undoubtedly be short within a few days. Tickets can also be bought at the Book-X in the YMCA in addition to the Gym. After our trouble with seating for the State .game it seems that we ought to have learned a lesson about ticket procuring by now. A word to the wise . . . ? Deacons Sure To Be !n SC Tournament By Vardy Buckalew WAKE FOREST History didn't repeat itself here last night as the Wake Forest Deacons put two very good halves together to hand Carolina its worse beating of the season, 89-63, and assure the Dea cons a place in the Southern Con ference tournament next month. ' The Deacons, who blew an 18 point lead in the second half in their other meeting with Carolina, played confidently on their own court, and after a few minutes of the second half, the outcome of the game was never in doubt. The Carolina offense was impo tent against the almost impregna ble zone defense which the Deacs . threw up, as they were able to score only a total of nine baskets in the second and third quarters. Dickie Hemrick, Wake Forest center, was high man for the game with 30 points. He also played masterfully under the backboard and, at times, almost single-handedly controlled his own and Caro lina. Jack Williams was second in scoring with 19 points. The Carolina offense, which could never get going ,was led by Al Lifson with 14 points. Bud Maddie played a creditable game under the board and scored 11 points. The first quarter was very close as Carolina came from 8 points back to within two points of the hot Deacons. The score at the quarter was 18-16. Immediately after the start of the second quar ter, Carolina pulled to within one point of Wake Forest at 19-18. But that was the closest they ever came. The second quarter was half over before Carolina scored a field goal on a hook shot by Maddy. v':.;';' - .$zr& 1 i Today's Table Tennis 4:60 PiKA-1 vs. Sig Nu-1. 4:30 Chi Phi-1 vs. SPE-3. 5:00 Zeta Psi-1 vs. Sig Nu-2. 5:30 ATO-1 vs. Kap Sig-1. 7:00 Med Sch-3 vs. Alexander. 7:30 Med Sch-1 vs. Med ch-4. 8:00 Med Sch-2 vs. Ruffin. - BRIEFS .

NIT Signs La Salle; Eyes Others The battle between the NCAA and the National Invitation Bas ketball ' . tournaments is on. The NIT jumped into the lead on Mon day by signing La : Salle, the de fending champion and . fourth ranked team in the country. In past years a school could play in both of these post-season pro motions but this time the NCAA has decreed that a team play in one or the other. The NCAA wanted La Salle, so the choice was left to the members of the team, who decided they would prefer the NTT because it was close to their Philadelphia home. They did not like the travel involved in the NCAA tournament. With the signing of the first team, the NTT will now set their sights on other top drawing cards Seton Hall, Seattle, and Western Kentucky. La Salle's coach, Ken Loeffler, in looking over the possible field for the NIT, said that if he were selecting the field, some of his choices would be "Duquesne, Seton Hall, St. Louis, and possibly North Carolina. Both Seton Hall and Niagara definitely have received feelers for the NIT, and the feeling is that Seton Hall, the only major unde feated team in the country, will accept for the same reason as La Salle.
