THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1953 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Carolina Caravan Net Team Is Duke's Nemesis By Jake Wade Tennis fans will be given their last opportunity to see the fine University of North Carolina team in action here Thursday when the Tar Heels meet strong Rollins College. Following the engagement with Rollins, Coach John Kenfield takes his squad on its annual northern trip for seven matches, and that winds up the season excent fnr the Southern Conference cham pionships at Davidson May 15-16. The Tars may be the strongest team on the Tar Heels' schedule this year. Those of us who have the notion that this possibly is Carolina's best team in history that is, for depth and balance all down the line will watch the out come of Thursday's battle with great interest. And we hope this bullish notice doesn't put the whammy on our boys. Correction It has been pointed out that our bureau was a little too enthusiastic in one of its recent dispatches, which noted that Duke's tennis win over the Tar Heels last year was its first in a quarter of a century. We stand corrected. Duke did, indeed, win a match in 1944, by 6-3, and another in 1945, by 5-4. But that's all. We are glad to set the record straight for those who read the earlier dispatch. Prior to 1944, the last Duke wins were in 1927, two by 5-4. That was the year before John Kenfield began coaching here. Up to date, over all, Kenfield coacneu teams uo-iycm now show the following dual-meet rec ord against old rival and highly respected Duke teams: 36 vic tories, three defeats. For the record, actually Ken field was not in charge when the the Tar Heels dropped the 1944 and 1945 matches to Duke. They were played in June both those years, after Kenfield had left for his summer job in Illinois. When Kenfield was here, in both 1944 and 1945, the Tar Heels defeated the Blue Devils: by 8-1 in 1944, and by 7-2 in 1945. After those decisive wins, he read with some chagrin, while he was in Chicago, of their subsequent defeats by Duke . A Different Story It hasn't been that way in golf, another spring sport in which the Tar Heels have consistently fielded first rate teams with a winning tradition over a long period. We bring this out just to show you that we are willing to print the bitter with the sweet. From 1927 through 1937, the Duke and Carolina golf teams plyaed on even terms, the decade showing nine wins for Duke and nine for the Tar Heels. From 1938 through 1950, how ever, during which time North Carolina had some of its finest teams, led by great Harvie Ward, Duke rolled up an astonishing winning streak of 12 in a row over the Tar Heels. Duke added its 13th straight in the first match between the two teams in 1951. The Tar Heels broke the jinx, however, in the second match that year, played at Finley, and then went on to win twice over Duke last year. The Duke-Carolina golf rivalry is keen, as in tennis, and as in all spheres of athletic activity, for that matter. They have only one match scheduled this year, that on May 11 at Hope Valley, Duke's home grounds. The Tar Heel golf ers, who, like the Tar Heel net men, are undefeated and excep tionally well balanced all down the line, will be seeking their fourth straight win over Duke j linksmen. Whammy, stay away! Tennis Team Meets Rollins; Lore Scheduled to Face Duke Big Four First Team To Be Decided Today In Important Contest By Tom Peacock Big Four baseball standings will be at least temDorarilv decided here today when Duke and Caro lina meet on Emerson Field at 3:30. Carolina and Duke are tied for first with 3-2 records, way ahead of State and Wake Forest. The Tar Heels are leading the southern division of the Conference, and a win for Duke will put it right in the fracas for a playoff position. The two top teams in the South Home Schedule Ends For Netters Today Against Rollins Tars By Vardy Buckalew Rollins College will close out Carolina's home tennis schedule today and the match should be the best one of the year to be played here. The match is scheduled for 3 o'clock. The Rollins 'ineup is studded with champions and the Tar Heels will have to call on their depth if they are to win this one. The Tars have been defeated once this year by powerful Miami. Carolina, on the other hand, will Play Al Horn : ' ' : ; ; I A ' " $ J J"'' -v " J s- - -"--. ::-?, .-." v -.r"-JAj- - x LJi " ' " 'i ' .

Blue Devil coach Ace Parker will probably start his fast balling righthander, Joe Lewis, today, while Walt Rabb is expected to go along with another righthander, Bill Lore. Lewis is still smarting from a 5-2 licking the Tar Heels gave him here last week in front of his par ents who had come all the way from Falls River, Massachusetts to see him beat Carolina. The big redhead was uncommonly effective against Carolina last year, however. Lore lost his last start, a six hit heartbreaker to Wake Fores,t 2-0. It was his first game after an ankle injury, and he seemed completely well. Lore has a 4-2 record and is one of the leading hitters on the squad. The Tar Heels, supposedly strong at pitching but weak at the plate, have become the hardest hitting team in the league. Their latest outburst was a 13-3 romp over State here Tuesday in which they banged out 17 safeties including a homer and three triples. Coaches Rabb and Hearn have the personnel, too. When Carolina faces a lefthanded pitcher the coaches may change their lineup all around and insert a whole new outfield. There is no lack of pow er, either, most of Carolina's hits being crisp line drives, many for extra bases. Carolina's lineup may be strengthened by the return of third baseman Bruce Holt. Holt was out with an ankle injury, and though a remarkably good fielder, has had trouble unseating the hard-hitting Bobby Williams since his recovery. Williams went hitless Tuesday, however, and Holt may get his chance. In the rest of the infield, Ed Hooks or Will Frye will catch, Bobby Henning at first, Harry Lloyd, second, and Fred Dale at win. rne tougnest match for the Tar Heels so far was the one with Duke which they won 7-2. Alfredo Millet and Calhoun Dickson are the two top men on the Rollins squad. Both have played the number one position at times, but Millet is expected to be the one to face Del Sylvia in the feature match today. Millet de feated Sylvia in the match last year. Dickson will play number two and will face Herb Browne for the Tar Heels, who has moved up a notch since the last match. Coach Kenfield made the switch after Browne defeated Tom Bradford in a challenge match. Millet is a member of Mexico's Davis Cup team and Dickson is Florida's public courts champion. Also in the lineup is Eduardo Gar cia, Chilean national junior cham pion, and his brother Memo. Other international players on the squad include Mexico's Alberto Danel, another Davis Cupper, and Paul Driscoll from Canada. The only other American in the Rol lins lineup besides Dickson is freshman George Longshore from Anniston, Ala.; last year's Alabama State scholastic champion. The Carolina team will start on its annual northern tour after this match, opening the trek with a match with Virginia on Saturday. Following that they will play six northern schools, finishing against a strong Princeton team on May 9. fr vP.L..r THIS PICTK3, RELEASED FROM an official Soviet news agency, shows American prisoners-of-war taking part in "inter-camp Olympic games," according to the original captions accompanying the photos.

Jersey Joe, training in virtual Privacy for his return shot at the man who knocked him out in September, didn't want to start slinging mud as he sat in his closet-size dressing room having his hands bandaged.

By the end of his Freshman year he had trained one girl to wave at him, but she never waved until four minutes till eleven, and she lived in a Dormitory. In his sophomore year he just gave up and played Field Hockey. This year he was a junior, and pretty desperate. Every time he listened to a radio program he used a different soap but no wonderful thing happened to him. And then he saw our ad for THE UNFAIR SEX. Now C. Alphonso wasn't so slow as you might think. "What's sauce for the goose," he said, "is duck soup for the gander." Pal, he bought that book, and he's already memorized Line I and Line II. But we doubt if he'll finish it. His evenings are that busy! THE INTIMATE BOOKSHOP 205 E.
