Spring Sports Count, Too
Most of the publicity and interest generated by college
sports centers around football first and basketball second. Such
emphasis is only natural. Football has been played on cam
puses for nearly a century, longer, for example, then major
league baseball has been played. Basketball also has a long
history as a college sport.
Most importan, both of these sports became popular as
college sports. Professional football and basketball developed
later and used college players ofr material almost exclusively.
In contrast with the big sports, spring sports tend to be
played down. Collegiate baseball, tennis and golf get little
national publicity. The primary area of interest for these
sports is outside the colleges professional baseball, profes
sional and amateur tennis and golf. (There is interest in col
lege track, but it is the individuals, not the teams, that re
ceive most of the attention.)
There's nothing really wrong with playing up the "Big
Two" sports, but the little sports shouldn't be forgotten. A
school with mediocre football and basketball teams is brand
ed as weak athletically, despite fine records in other sports.
At Carolina, the football and basketball seasons were not
exactly resounding successes this year. The gridders were 4-6
and were crushed, 34-7, by Duke. The basketball team did
wind up with a winning season (16-11) but lost three straight
to the Blue Devils.
The Tar Heels may be able to recoup some lost glory
this spring. The tennis team is having its usual outstanding
season. Coach Don Skakle's netters have reeled off six straight
wins since having their 33-match win streak snapped by Flori
da State. Next month they will defend their ACC title in the
tournament at Clemson.
On the diamond the Tar Heels are currently in a tie for
third in the Conference. Walter Rabb's boys have lost only
one ACC game by a 1-0 count. Three conference games
this week, with Duke, Maryland and Virginia, should give a
clearer line on the Tar Heels' title chances. Danny Walker
and Buddy Cahoon showed some top-caliber pitching in the
weekend series with Clemson and South Carolina, and the vic
tory over the previously unbeaten Tigers gives Carolina fans
something to get excited about.
Spring could be a bright season for UNC sports.
Meaningless Rankings
Speaking of college baseball, one of the more interesting
exercises in nonsense is the bi-weekly ranking of the top ten
college ball clubs. The teams are ranked by a poll conducted
by a national newspaper devoted to college baseball.
Football and basketball polls don't mean much, but at
least the people voting have had an opportunity to learn some
thing about what they are voting on. They can see some
games live and others on television or film, and what they
don't see, they can. read, about. ; . . V-
Baseball balloters, on the other hand, are really voting
blind. They probably see some of the games that take place
in their area and are familiar with the merits of the teams
around them. About teams from other parts of the country,
however, the voters can know very little, if anything. Sports
writers in North Carolina know which teams are good in the
Atlantic Coast Conference, but what about the South West Con
ference or the Big Ten?
The tendency, cf course, would be for the voter to rate
the teams in his area high, since he knows them. He may
feel like giving his team a boost if it is any good. The only
way he can rate teams from the rest of the country is by
their won-lost records, which may be out of date when he
gets them. Caliber of competition is impossible to assess.
The ratings themselves are rather old when they come out,
since the publication is a bi-weekly and balloting is done by
mail. They are subject to wild fluctuations; teams can go
from seventh to first to tenth in three polls.
The baseball rankings don't really hurt anybody,
of course. They can be nice if your favorite team gets a
high rating. Remember what they are, though, and take
them with two grains of salt.

Danny Weaves A Spell
Walker Controls Tigers
By BILL ROLLINS
DTH Assistnat Sports Editor
And then there was Danny
Walker.
Clemson had breezed to an
unbeaten record through 13
games, and had everybody
fearing that the ACC title race
would become a shambles be
fore it got started.
But last Friday the Tigers
ran into an old nemesis, and
they never had it so tough.
An old nemesis? You'd bet
ter believe it.
When Walker beat the big
boppers from Death Valley by
6-1 the other day, it wasn't
the first time Clemson had
seen the Tar Heels' senior
righty. Their formal introduc
tion took place April 30, 1965
on old Emerson Field, when
they tried to hit him for a full
13 frustrating innings, man
aged only five safe blows for
their trouble and got beat 4-3.

THE NEW WAY to watch baseball at the
bright green, fresh field is demonstrated by

ball club faced Louisburg, but lost the first
game of a doubleheader, 2-0.
DTH Photo By Jock Lauterer
Last Friday wasn't the sec
ond time for Walker and the
Tigers either. He pitched three
innings of hitless relief against
them at Clemson later in the
'65 season in a game the Tigs
finally won off another UNC
pitcher.
In fact, Coach Bill Wil
helm's team had not been beat
en (19-0-2 record) by anybody
since that April day some 50
weeks ago until they came
back to Chapel Hill.
Quite A Spell
And then there was Danny
Walker on the hill again, rock
in' and firin' and weaving his
spell.
And quite a spell it was, too.
The six - foot, 185-pounder
struck out nine and walked but
one while, working his second
straight complete game in as
many starts. He allowed eight
hits, only four until the ninth
inning.
Although he lowered his
earned-run-average to a solid
3.12, that is still a ballooned
figure when compared to the
type of pitching which is the
21-year-old's usual standard.
He worked 44 innings in
three, he struck them out in
order. The third time around,
he whiffed third-place hitter
Jack McCall also.
The only man to reach bac
from the fourth through the
seventh was opposing pitcher
Charlie Watson, who smashed
a single off Walker's right foot
with one out in the sixth
and then was killed on n dou
ble play.

Louisburg Tops Freshmen
In First Game Of Two, 2-0
By BILL HASS
DTH Sports Writer
Carolina's freshman baseball
team could not take advan

the first game of a doublehead

In the second game, Tar

The game was scheduled for
seven innings, but went eight
before Louisburg managed
two runs off of hard - luck
pitcher John Yancey. Both
runs were unearned.
In the eighth, pitcher Eyer
got on base when UNC short
stop Joe Swain let the ball
go through his legs for an
error. More bunted, but
Yancey fielded quickly and
nailed the runner at second
for the first out. Sears pop

looked like the Tar Babies
were out of trouble.
But Moore stole second and
went to third on catcher Skip
Hull's throwing error. Lanier
then walked. Cleanup hitter
Vick drilled a single to left,
scoring Moore and Queen fol
lowed with a single to center,
scoring Lanier.
The Tar Babies had a great
opportunity in the seventh inn
ing. Koch pinch hit and singl

him to second with a sacrifice.
Clem Medley drew an inten
