42 years' ago, died in 1966, but
his creation continues to the
delight of young and old.
The Globetrotters Were in
several North Carolina cities
this past . week and we in
tercepted them in
Greensboro.
We had 'never seen them in
living flesh - before, although
several television games and a .
full-length movie . had been
viewed with great interest.
Many people said, 'If you've
seen the Trotters once, you've
seen 'em a million times." '
But they had a certain magic
about them which called for
more, and the temptation to
see them couldn't be
resisted.'
We still expected to be.
somewhat disappointed since
many old, familiar acts would
-be replayed.
But the Trotters never disap
point, just amaze. ...

CAVE
. lark Lemon walked on
court and. anybody who has
seen Lemon walk can tell you
why. The famed Clown Prince
of Basketball either has no
joints or his tendons are rub
berized. He kind of just flops
along - while his whole body
moves in many different direc
tions.. His 30-foot hook shots (of
which he hit several) leave fans
dumbfounded, but he also adds
a comedy act which is mostly
for the young but entertains
all. . . : -
Then there was Freddy Neal,.
thedribbler. Neal was in his
hometown," so he threw in-a
dozen or so 40-foot jumpers for
extras.
His ' main act is th dribbling
exhibition made, famous by
Marquis Haynes, which con
sists of several minutes of fast
action ; dribbling around t
through and under his body
while'the ball never went more
than six inches off the floor.
Neal and Lemon- are both
from North Carolina, and so
meone ventured, "Wouldn't it
have been nice to have them
play for Carolina?" : ,
They could have made it too; '
but nobody, wanted them.
The laughter seemed to stop
a moirfent yhen Neal and
Lemon were viewed in their '
native setting. "
, Still today, several like them
will .leave a poor Negro high
: school, maybe play awhile for
a small Negro college if they
are lucky (Neal was, Lemon
wasn't) and sign with the
Globetrotters.
Then suddenly . everybody .
will want to see, them .'
Greensboro loves Freddie Neal
now. It once didn't and could
care less if he could shoot bet
ter than anyone else in town..-.
So while Neal e v oked
laughter and amazement .with
the rest of Ins teammates, he
also proved a point. He showed
the people Avho once didn't
want him. that he is a very
good basketball player.
He must have gotten some
satisfaction for that, but it
couldnt replace all the glory
he. ' could have had y while
playing for the hometown folks .
in a" major-college uniform.
Freddie. Neal was satisfied,
but like most of his teammates
who never got the chance to
make it big, he must have been
contemptuous.
Having to be part clown in
order to draw, hometown raves
would degrade,,, anybody. For
the man who .'exclaimed af
terwards "can't they handle
that basketball!" didn't want'
Freddie five years ago.

In Season
. With four yeterans returning
from last year's. Atlantic Coast
C.onferenc e championship .
squad, the University of North
Carolina opens a fresh tennis
season here against t h e
Volunteers of Tennessee this
Saturday.
Gene Hamilton, the defending-
ACC' No. 1 flight cham- :
pion, will lead the Tar. Heels 1
into action. Captain Bob Davis,
runner-up in the No. 2 flight
last spring; Smokey Swenson,
defending conference cham-,
pion at the No. 5 spot; and Bill
Trott, runner-up in the No, 6
position, will provide Carolina
with experienced depth. All are
seniors. -
According to UNC Coach
Don Skakle, who is now in his
tenth year as head mentor, the
Vols should be about as tough
as opener as one could ask for.
"I think we have had enough
general conditioning and court
practice to be ready for this
match. We'll have to be ready.
Tennessee has one of the top
. teams in the East. .
Besides the veterans men
tioned above, the Tar Heel
lineup will be bolstered by
sophomores Lee Langstroth,
Allen Lassiter, Fred Rawlings
and Joe Dorn. Langstroth, a
