State is playing in the cozy surroundings of Raleigh's Reynolds Coliseum in the conference's annual champion ship tournament. But who plays the feature game of the open round Thursday night? South -Carolina and North Carolina meet in the rubber game of a three-game series at 9:30. For coach Dean Smith's Tar Heels this late starting time will be nothing new. Three times in Charlotte UNC played Notre Dame, Clemson, and South Carolina in contests which began at 9:15. All were second games of doublehead ers. ' The tournament pairings, a n nounced in Raleigh Sunday, are as follows: Lower Bracket N. C.

The Gamecocks and UNC tied for four th in the regular season with 7-7 records. They played twice during the season with UNC winning 83-71 at Chapel Hill, and the southern Carolinians taking a 97-82 win at Charlotte.

Roger (61 ) Maris Finally Inks Pact FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (UPD Home run king Roger Mar is settled his contract dispute with the world champion New York Yankees for a compromise $70,000 Monday and said he'll need "all the breaks" to hit 61 home runs again. - Maris, whose 61 homers last year wrote baseball history, agreed to terms in a lightning 5-minute con ference Monday just when it seem ed he would hold out past the of ficial Feb. 28 start of spring train ing. "I'm happy with the contract," said Maris. "If I wasn't, well, you know me L wouldn't have signed." Club General Manager Roy Harn ey said Maris did not get "a 100 per cent raise." That's what Rog er had been seeking a doubling of his reported $38,000 salary for 1961. The Yankees had started by offering him '$60,000 and came up to1 about $67,000 in the fourth Mar-is-Hamey conference last week. . Another boost Monday apparent ly won Maris signature on the dotted line. "We both made concessions to arrive at a salary we feel is fair to both sides," said Harney. "We paid Maris not only for his home runs but for an exceptionally good year." Maris, winner of the American League "Most Valuable Player" award in each of the past two seasons, still trails fellow outfield er Mickey Mantle on the Yankee payroll. Mantle, who received $85, 000, was one of the first team members to sign this winter and Maris Monday was the last. The bldnd southpaw slugger from Raytown, Mo., who was besieged by reporters during his battle with Babe Ruth's 60-homer record last season, immediately ran into an other newsmen's barrage of ques tions on whether "you will hit 61 homers again this year." Maris grimaced and said, "how long do you think a snowball would last in Hell?" Then he added, "you can say I really have no idea whether I can do that again." NIT Tourney Adds Wichita FROSH BASEBALL CANDIDATES All freshman baseball candidates are to meet at Emerson Stadium Thursday, March 1, at 3:30 dressed in Woollen Gym equipment. In case of rain, the meeting will be in 301 Woollen at the same time. NEW YORK (UPD Wichita, shut out of title contention in the Missouri Valley Conference by the red-hot battle between Cincinnati and Bradley, landed safely in the post-season basketball field Mon day by accepting a bid to the Na tional Invitation Tournament. The Shockers, with a 17-7 record and two games to play, were the eighth team picked for the 12-team NIT which will be held at Madison Square Garden, March 15-24. Of the four remaining berths, one is expected to go to either Cincinnati or Bradley, whichever one loses out in the Missouri Val ley race for an NCAA berth, and another is expected to go to the runner-up team in the Skyline Conference. The selection of Wichita, which has a tall starting lineup including 6-10 Gene Wiley, was announced by coach Ken Norton of Manhat tan College, chairman of the NIT selection committee. Teams previously picked for the tournament were St. John's, Navy, Duquesne, Loyola of Chicago, Hous ton, Dayton, and defending cham pion Providence. Wichita has appeared in the NIT once before, losing in an early round in 1954. 4 1 i 4 ::::5:fS..:: . wmmm 'A V V mr - r-"inrnWi'rMiPr-r HARRISON MERRILL By MARTY KRUMING "He is one of the finest swim mers we have ever had at the Uni versity, and should be a tremend ous help to the varsity next sea son." These were the words used by Tar Baby swimming coach Dick Jamerson to describe his star per former, Harrison Merrill. iMerrill, a Ireestyler from At- lanta, Ga., has been brilliant throughout the campaign. On Feb. 19 this Tar Baby sensation estab- 1 i s h e d three NCAA freshman swimming marks within a space of 52 hours during the freshman in vitational meet held at Bowman Gray Memorial Pool. By crossing the finish line in 18.20.1 in the 1500 meter freestyle, Merrill erased the national record of 19.22.3 set by Herb Portelance of the University of Washington in 1951. The same evening Merrill cracked the rec ords posted by Australia's Olympic ace Murray Rose in the 220- and 440-yard freestyle events. His clocking of 2:04.3 in the 220 and 4:31 in the 440 both established NCAA freshman marks. Just last Saturday Merrill clos ed out his freshman career with another sparkling performance in the 220-yard freestyle as he glid ed to victory with a time of 2.02.7 By bettering his previous time of 2:04.3, this broad-shouldered com petitor once again set a new NCAA freshman mark. my Thomas, who swam for Caro lina from 1943-1951. Thomas was a freestyler in addition to being a sensational breast s t r o k e r and backstroker. He established three national AAU records in the 100 yard backstroke and set three Eastern Collegiate records in one meet. In 1951 Thomas was consid ered to be the best backstroker in the world and was also credited with holding nine American rec ords in the backstroke. Returning to Merrill, Jamerson added that he will be great because he has the determination, confidence, and leadership which Thomas possessed. In addition to Merrill's success in swimming, this performer's life away from the pool is also reveal ing. He is a pre-med student and a member oi tne rni ueita ineta pledge class. Merrill also plays an active role in freshman class af fairs holding down the office of treasurer. As a coach rich in experience, Jamerson predicts a very bright future for young Merrill. Varsity mentor Pat Earey already has an All-American candidate in b a c k- stroker Thompson Mann and with Merrill destined for national fame, Carolina could have the finest one two punch in the nation for the next two seasons. Wrestlers Point To ACC Finals Anderson Attends Education Meeting Donald B. Anderson, vice presi dent of the University, is one of twenty-five educators in North and South America taking part in an Institute of International Education at Rio de Janiero from February 25 to March 3. - v - . Dr. ' Anderson is the representa tive of the National Science Foun dation. He is vice president for graduate studies and ' research in the three institutions of the Con solidated University. SECOND BIRTHDAY TOKYO (UPD Prince Hiro, son of Crown Prince Akihito and Princess Michiko, was 2 years old Friday. For his performances on Monday and Saturday, Merrill has been se lected as the third Daily Tar Heel Athlete of the Week. .Merrill's sensational feat in the freshman invitationals left the op posing coaches breathless as many uttered the words "amazin g "fantastic", and "stupendous".. As coach Jamerson pointed out, the 1500 usually takes so much out of a swimmer that he is below par when he tackles the other events. For Harrison this was far from the truth. Jamerson's pride and joy is de finitely an all-around swimmer as evidenced by his competition in the 1500, the 100 yard butterfly, and the 200 yard individual medley. Commenting further on MerrilJ, coach Jamerson compared him with another Tar Heel great, Jim- QUADROS ARRIVAL CAFE TOWN, South Africa (UPD Former Brazilian presi dent Janio Quadros will arrive nere trom Durban Monday by ship mart who.put natural Shoulders OfltroUSeri cum uicu win neau uacK to crazu, it was reported here Friday. fROUSERED BY Cool hens lay more eggs There's a Table of S3.S0 Books it Only iQUll . rR 4H JED I if I fW iyk' r.'-t,-iri A , j i Ml Odd Quads are our very owe name for a group of fabrics and colours made for University and young business men.

Franklin Phone 942-3356 By ED DUPREE j North Carolina's wrestling streak of 5 games without a defeat went down the drain at College Park Saturday as the Terps flattened the Tar Heels, 25-5. Only UNC's Pete Gilchrist sal vaged a victory against the peren nially powerful Marylanders. By winning on a default, Gilchrist set a new school scoring record of 36 points. Gilchrist's opponent, Sam Bos sert, the 130-pound ACC champion in 1961, dislocated a thumb in the first period of their match and was unable to continue. The five points for . a default assures the Charlotte native of being Caro lina's top scorer for the season. Dick Blackman, the early sea son scoring leader, lost at Mary land on a decision in the 147-divi-sion. Blackman still has 30 points, but has a chance to crack Perrin Henderson's old record-, of 21? set in 1959. The Tar Heel scoring sensations got their final chance of the sea son last night against Virginia Tech. A pin for Gilchrist would have given him a new record of 41, while either a pin or decision would have pushed Blackman past the original record. It'll be a rugged week for coach Sam Barnes' men. Friday morn ing, bright and early at 7 o'clock, they travel to Raleigh to weigh in for the ACC championship meet. The wrestling finals will cover two days with preliminaries start ing at 1 Friday afternoon. Semi finals are slated for 3. The con solations will be at 1 on Saturday with the championships at 3. Going into last night's match with VPI, the UNC grapplers own ed a 4-6-1 record. After losing five consecutive matches they de feated N. C. State and West Vir ginia, tied Appalachian, and beat Pfeiffer and Duke. The top Tar Heels, in addition to Gilchrist and Blackman, have been Mickey Nelson, 123-pound di vision; Willis Johnson, 137; Tom Grant, 157; Gene Record, 167; Glenn Glaser, 177, and Jerry Cabe, heavyweight. In the finals an ad ditional two events will be added the 115 and 191 divisions. Louis Arthur could be the UNC entry in the lighter division, with Bill Shipp and Gordon Appell possibilities in the big man's class. Maryland's coach Sully Krouse boasts the individual champions in each division for 1961 and walked away to the team championship with 116 points. North Carolina was second last season with 63 points in the finals. Our biggest state has the fewest people; only 226,913 persons in Alaska.
