Nefter s Smash DairtmoiitihL Linksmen JLPele Meet The UNC tennis team methodic ally crushed Dartmouth yesterday, 9-0, before one of the largest crowds in several years. The sur prising Tar Heels swept all but two sets as they gained revenge for two defeats handed them by Dartmouth last season. In the singles competition, num ber one man Keith Stoneman set the pace for his team with a bril liant victory over Dartmouth ace Jim Biggs. Mixing a strong net game with a sweeping cross-court backhand shot, the 6-3 UNC cap tain easily grabbed the initial set, 6-1. Despite a game rally by Biggs, Stoneman hung on to win 9-7 in the second set and close out the match. Coach Don Skakle's four talented sophomores successfully followed the triumph of Stoneman as they failed to drop a set in the singles. George Sokol, playing at the sec ond position, wore down Phil Mey er with his consistent ground strokes. Ted Hoehn, son of the Dartmouth coach, won handily over Gordon Aydelott, 6-1, 6-2. Charlie Shaffer, who hasn't played regularly in almost two years, was all over the court with a relentless net game, defeating Dave Smoyer, 6-0, 6-3. Hampered by a sore arm, Bitsy Harrison fought off a determined Doug Floren to win, 6-4, 9-7. In contrast, veteran Dave Morgan breezed to a 6-1, 6-1 victory against Doug Judah. The doubles featured a sparkling exhibition by Stoneman and Shaf fer. The two completely dominat- Ind. nans Ag ami loday ed the court with a collection of shots that brought frequent ap plause from the enthusiastic crowd. Biggs and Floren were the 6-2, 6-2 victims of the Tar Heel duo. In the number two doubles Hoehn and another sophomore, Sam Applegate, struggled to a three-set marathon win over Meyer and Aydelott, 6-4, 8-10, 6-2. The final match went three sets also, as lettermen Stan Cocke and Garland Carlton com bined to pull out an uphill 3-6, 8-6, 6-1 triumph. Coach Skakle commented after the match that he thought his team played well considering it was their first outing. However, "I look for some improvement as the season wears on." It will be fairly dif ficult, though, to improve upon the perfect 9-0 score against a Dart mouth team that is annually one of the best in the East. The Indian netter coach was full of praise for the youthful Tar Heels, stating that "Carolina has certain ly lived up to its preseason ex pectations. But that doesn't mean we won't be fighting hard tomor row afternoon." The personable Dartmouth mentor added that his team came to Chapel Hill without virtually any practice, the result of a snow-filled March in Han over, N. H. Today the twQ teams will meet again to test whether Carolina is as powerful as it so convincingly demonstrated in its season's open er. The match will begin at 2:00 p.m. Both coaches hinted that there may be now pairings for the contest. VNC Baseball Team Starts Season Today At Florida By CURRY KIRKPATRICK UNC's baseball team opens its 1962 season this afternoon as the Tar Heels take on the University of Florida at Gainesville in the first game of their annual southern tour. Coach Walter Rabb's nine will follow up the opener with a second contest against Florida's Gators on Thursday and games with Vander bilt and Georgia Southern on Fri day and Saturday. Rabb, in his sixth season as head coach, plans to start untested soph omore pitchers in most of the games, while holding out the veter ans for relief chores. Soph, Andy Billesdon, a 6-3 soph from Lothrup Village, Mich, is slated to start this afternoon for Carolina with co-captain Dave iMurr in the bullpen. Junior Larry Jenkins may hurl Thursday with Spencer Willard, another sopho more, ready to go Friday. Rabb has three lettermen return ing to his infield and one to the outfield from last year's team, which compiled a 10-4 record in the ACC while finishing second to Duke. Second baseman Paul Swing and third sacker Larry Neal both of whom batted .300-plus last spring will hit one-two in Rabb's batting order. Sophomore shortstop Jim Speight will bat third with Durham senior Russ Hollers, the center fielder, hitting in the cleanup posi tion. Following Hollers, will be first baseman Len Dellolio and right fielder Heyward Hull. Dellolio swung at a .311 clip last year. Dee Frady will play left field and bat seventh with sophomore catch er Bernie Isgett, who sat out his freshman season with a broken leg, hitting in the eighth position. A" "fr Powerful Dartmouth Defeats UNC Lacrosse Club By 22-1 By MARTY KRUMIXG Dartmouth's powerful lacrosse squad lived up to coach Sal Esposi to's expectations as it rolled to a 22-1 victory over an inexperienced Tar Heel unit yesterday afternoon on Navy Field. From the opening gun the Green Wave from New Hampshire amaz ed the considerably large crowd with its deft ball control and ag gressive style of play. Capitalizing on a swift moving attack and mid field, Darthmouth rallied for five goals in the first period, five in the second, six in the third, and eight in the final. Carolina's only tally of the af ternoon came in the initial quarter when wing attackman Allie Tyler singed the nets unassisted. From that point on it was the Indian's ball game as they played a "cat and mouse" game around the Tar Heels' goal for four periods. For the first two periods UNCs attack was overly cautious as it peppered the opposing cage with only ten shots. After the halftime intermission Carolina appeared ready to cut down Dartmouth's 10 1 lead. Inspired by the aggressive play of attackman Tommy Thayer and midfielder Bob Kempner, the Heels began to pinpoint their pass es and concentrate on a close guarding defensive strategy. But the Indians soon returned to their first half style and the host team settled back to a long, frustrating afternoon. Although this was the initial game for both squads, Carolina had only had the benefit of five days practive prior to yesterday. Esposito realizes that the Tar Heels have a great deal to iron out, but many aspects of the encounter were most encouraging.

The contest played on the Uni versity-owned Finley Golf Course was never in doubt as Carolina took every individual match as well as copping all best-ball competition. Pete Green.

Points are decided on both a match and medal play basis. A golfer scores one point for a match play win on the front nine, one point for a like win on the back nine and one point for an overall medal play victory.

Dietrich LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPI) Ed Jucker and Fred Taylor, the two men most vitally concerned, de clined to go along Tuesday with a widespread assumption that their Cincinnati and Ohio State teams will meet Saturday night in col lege basketball's greatest re match. , . . Taylor, whose Buckeyes must be absolutely aching for another shot at the NCAA title against the same Cincinnati team that beat them out of it in ' overtime a year ago .blandly skipped over the mat ter Tuesday in a conference tele phone chat among coaches of the four NCAA finalists. "We are looking no further than Wake Forest Friday night," insist ed Taylor,-"you can't do much at all if you don't win the first one. Ohio State and Wake Forest clash at 7:30 p.m., EST, " in the eastern half of the NCAA univer- Carolina Caravan By Jake Wade By JAKE WADE It's no longer any secret that the University of North Carolina plans to employ the three-platoon system in football next fall. Coach Jim Hickey and his staff are excited over the possibilities of the plan, similar to that used so successfully by L.S.U. Carolina's two-way or starting team will be known as the Blues. The Offensive team will be call ed the Rams. This is the "Go" group and rams are known to do that when infuriated or inspired or both. The Defensive platoon has been tagged the Tar Heels, suggesting the stickiness of tar. More boys get to play in a system of this kind, and there are evidences here already that this program has been a big booster to morale. The Tar Heels had a hard time getting started with off-season football on ac count of the weather but they are in high gear now and com petition for places on the team is spirited. WELL PLEASED It's the tal ent that counts most, so a sys tem is no better than how the lads perform. In the first full scale scrimmage of winter prac tice, the Tar Heels generally performed well. Unless our tired old eyes de ceive us, Co-Captains Joe Crav er and Ward Marslender are heading up a squad with much more speed than recent Carolina teams possessed. The linemen seem to move well and there are backs who can get away. Maybe some of track coach Dale Ran- son's "Fleetness Running rubbed off on them. has Craver and Marslender are two of the best and the long range feeling is that both will rank high when all-star honors are passed out next fall. They are not the only ones, of course, and there is a strong sophomore ac cent on this squad. It looks like a lot of new faces will be seen in Carolina's triple-lineups. Roffiiy Jackson, for example, has put on somt weight to take him out of the midget class and he's a lad who has the equipment to break up some ball games and the color to excite the fans. Ron ny is the rising sophomore from Rocky Mount who at times was sensational for the freshmen in 1961. ALUMNI GAME Plans have gone out for the Alumni Varsity game on April 7 which will wind up off-season practice. Joe Da vies and his Carolina Monogram Club are doing a fine job in pro moting the game, proceeds from which go to the Monogram Club's Scholarship fund, used to assist deserving athletes without grants-in-aid. More than 70 "Old Grads" have indicated they will be here. Some of course have passed the point where they can play and others will be used sparingly. But it will be good to see the old heroes back on campus and they are looking forward to the vari ous festivities to be held in con junction with the game. Most of the serious play for the Alumni will be by the more recent graduates. George Bar clay will coach the Alumni. At other schools where the Alumni , Varsity games are held, the Alumni have been the winners.

Even a reminder from sports writers sitting in on the call that the Buckeyes blistered Wake For est by 22 points on the Demons' own floor last December didn't divert Taylor from the game "at hand. "We feel Wake Forest may have been too high for that game, too excited," Taylor said, "while we had just come off a tough game with Wichita and took it more or less in stride. Besides, assistant coach Frank Truitt reports that Wake Forest is improved a great deal since then. In a way this is an entirely different season." Jucker maintained much the same line in regard to UCLA, al though the Bruins failed to con vince many of their own West Coast fans even while they were winning 11 of their last 12 games and the Big Five title. "We respect John Wooden's team," Jucker insisted.
