THE DAILY TAR HEEL SATURDAY, MARCH 27 Page 4 Nett B Jtiee. Prints . . . By Owen Davis Stepin Fetchit, who has entertained so long he carries his birth certificate to prove he's the same person who made films with little Shirley Temple, was in Louisville last weekend, contemplating everything from Black Power to the Creation of mankind. Fetchit wasn't in town to watch the NCAA tournament. He was picking up a buck here and there at a nightclub and planning strategy for a two million dollar law suit he will soon file. But between acts Fetchit, named Lincoln Monroe Perry when born in Key West, Fla., 77 years ago, munched a few peanuts and reminisced about the days when he was tight with the first crowd. "If The Champ quits messing with the draft, he'll be back," said the comedian, who for more than 50 years has performed in everything from plantation road shows to Hollywood films. "The Champ is the greatest of all time. Nobody can hit him." Fetchit should know, because he was intimate with many of the old boxers, from former heavyweight king Jack Johnson to The Champ years later. And The Champ showed Monday that not even the federal government can land a solid punch against his unmarked chin. Muhammed Ali; once known as Cassius Clay, got a reprieve from the Supreme Court which eventually may put him back in the ring. Ali's conviction for draft evasion may be overturned in lower court, because evidence against him is possibly inadmissable. If so, fight promoters everywhere would like to have Ali throwing his left before huge crowds in September. His requiem would put pizzazz in a sport which has been slowly succumbing since his departure. Ali is to boxing what a shepherd is to his flock. When he isn't around, the sheep stray. And. when The Champ isn't fighting, many fans go elsewhere to get their kicks. Most folks don't exactly adore Ali. The majority despise him, but at the same time secretly envy his feats. Who else could taunt Sonny Liston, the mean, old Bear with the suffocating stare, and not look like a bull at the slaughterhouse afterwards? Who else besides Ali could tell the faithful he doesn't care for boxing, and then go out and kayo every challenger with 10 knuckles from London to Lewistown, Maine? 1 - ' mini i I i I t '"" '"" " "' 1 " maw.. ski IM " rm-mt II , i in n avmM mm mmm i ' f"l ' .'-zzs-- , ' x vn 1 ,v . - 1 y S v. i o- I ys . j. s' , ,, - f V - , .-:' . 1 v i ' " , ; By RUSTY CARTER DTK Sports Writer the second position with a quick 6-1, 6-1 win over John Good. f A change in weather brought ytbA Rawlings finished on an even better change in Coach Andy Voliweiler 6-2, 6-1 as did Don Skakle's netters Friday jimmy Corn over Michigan s afternoon as they blanked the number fourman John Bufe.

The UNC netters play their fourth match in four days when they face the Toledo team at 2:00 this afternoon. Diamond Men Host Virginia Tech By OWEN DAVIS DTH Sports Writer Larry Kiser, a sophomore lefthander with the physique of a defensive tackle, will have retaliation in mind this afternoon when he starts on the mound here against Virginia Tech. Kiser, a 6-4, 220-pounder, took his only loss last season to the Gobblers, and this is his first opportunity to pay them back. Gametime is 3 o'clock at the UNC diamond. The Carolina pitcher is making his second start of the season. His first against Yale The government, which has more power than 50 Joe lasted onty three innings, and Louis rights to the nose, hasn't even floored him. He has wobbled slightly, and for awhile he appeared a goner, but Ali has more buoyancy than an ocean liner in a lake. "That's why he's' so good,', said .Fetchit. "When someone misses him, that's just like he has thrown a punch himself. When they start missing and missing and missing, they can't stand it. That sets them up for the knockout." And Ali dodges once left to miss Uncle Sam and again right when a spectator aims a bottle at his head. Thousands pay good money just to jeer him. He isn't the typical American hero. Few say, T would like my boy to grow up like Cassius Clay." But Ali smiles through it all. He figures Allah is on his side anyway, so there isn't much that can harm him. , The Muslims are another reason Ali is not revered as most great fighters are, as Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Henry Armstrong or Rocky Marciano were. "Since the Muslims got hold of him, he, hasn't been bllver Springs, Md., defensive the same," said Fetchit. "He's scared of them now." wLnJate f But Ali continues to preach Islam religion, and a lot offence back Geof Ha'mlinof of fans are uneasy about that. They feel threatened.

Joe Frazier is a slugger, which the crowds love, but he lacks the aura of Ali. Jerry Quarry, the Bellflower Bomber, has bombed out in the big ones. Wherever you start, you always get back to Ali. His record is perfect, but more importantly he has a following. Whether he hears huzzahs or the ugly taunts, which fight crowds can hurl best, is immaterial. Because if boxing is to ever fill the outdoor stadiums again, where night fighting during the summer was once a tradition, Muhammed Ali must return. He will smile, laugh, fake dodging the haymaker and then chortle, "Ain't I the greatest?" he gave up two runs, three walks and struck out three. He has no won-loss record. "Well let Kiser go as long as he can," said Coach Walter Rabb. "I hope he can -go all the way." Previously Rabb has limited his hurlers to three or four innings, since it is early in the season. , their two games, UNC winning 5-2 at home and losing 5-0 in Blacksburg. "They've got a veteran ball club," said Rabb. Last season they were one of the better independent teams in the Southeast and were in consideration for the NCAA regional tournament in Gastonia.

Last year the teams split in Gridders Hold Open Scrimmage Saturday CHAPEL HILL, N.C.-Four newcomers drew top praise from Coach Bill Dooley at mid-week as the North Carolina Tar Heels capped one-fourth of their spirited spring football practice. The Gridders will hold a special open scrimmage this afternoon at 2:00 o'clock in Kenan Stadium. Defensive lineman Bud Grissom of Elkin, N.C., linebacker John Bunting of "I've been very well pleased with the attitude and effort of VPI is hitting a strong .295 as a team. After four games, Carolina is hitting better than . in past seasons, averaging nearly 10 hits a game. "The boys are moving the ball pretty well," said Rabb, "but they are not hitting as aggressively as I would like with men on base. We're leaving too many men on. "I think some are a little too anxious and are overswinging, but that will eventually, iron itself out."

Dooley also singled out three veterans for special praise. They are tight end Tony Blanchard of Falls Church, Va., halfback Saulis Zemaitis of Hamilton, Ont., and linebacker Bob Hanna of McKeesport, Pa. The Tar Heels have only seven seniors on their entire roster.
