TAMPA, Fla, Mar. 5.-The

ready injuries have started to
take a heavy toll among veterans
and rockies.

threatens to keep the Boston
Red Sox veteran out of action

also have received blows, al
though probably not as serious.
Bob Porterfield. Washington's
ace hurler, hasn't yet returned
to serious work after being
beaned by line drive. Alex
Grammas, a rookie who figures
to plug the shortstop spot for
the St. Louis Cardinals, is back
taking light workouts after tear
ing a shoulder muscle in his
throwing arm but he's not ex-
pected to return to the lineup for
another week or more.
Tom Aston, Cardinals first
base rookie, is suffering from a
sore back: Bob Trice, Athletics
Negro pitcher, from a bad Shout

RALEIGH. N. c.. Mar. s.
They say here in the hospitality
room at the Atlantic Coast Con-
ference Basketball tournament
where coaches and officials
meet at halftime and between
gameS--that Wake Forest is not
the team it used to be, and
Maryland should win tonights
second semifinal at $50.
Nobody is hazarding more
than a guess as to who will win
the opener between Duke and
North Carolina State, the third
meeting this season between
these arch rivals whose schools
are only % miles apart. Duke
won both games of the home
and-home Series-but by total
of three points.
In fact. after yesterdays first
round games the smart guys are
keeping quiet, or should be. The
four top-seeded teams were sup
posed to be able to name their
own victory margins. but Wake
Forest had to wait until over
time before it beat South Caro-
lima. 58-57, and N. c. State had
to use everything in the book
before it beat North Carolina,
52-51
Terps Breeze Past Clemson.
Maryland's 1853 triumph over
Clemson was nothing more than
a workout for the Terps. while
Duke had an Unexpectedly easy
time in romping over Virginia,
96-68
It was such a crazy first day
that one player. Buzz Wilkinson
of Virginia, took 19 more shots
than the entire North Carolina
team Wilkinson took A shots
and finished with AZ points.
Carolina took only 25.
The Wake Forest-South Caro-
lima game was close simply be-
cause a supposedly good team
was having a horrible day. The
N. c. State-Tar Heel game was
close because Carolina made the
most Of every opportunity. 1t
was low scoring because State
held the ball about five minutes
in the center of the court in
protest of Cardinals use of the
zone defense
These tactics have brought
about a much over written feud
between Coaches Everett Case
of the Wolfpack and Frank Nc
Cure of North Carolina It
brought about the usual shower
of paper cups in protest. The
North Carolina fans were booing
State for Stalling. and the State
fans were booing North Caro-
lima for staying in the zone. The
coaches did not shake hands
after the game.
North Carolina almost won de-
spite the absence of its star. AL

Carter Favored al rs
To Kayo Dekarco in
Title Bout Tonight
SS me Associated Press

NEW YORK. Mar. 5.-Paddy
DeMarco never has fought Is
rounds and the odds say he won't
go that far when he challenges
Jimmy Carter for the lightweight
title tonight in Madison Square
Garden.
But the same odds give Paddy
as good chance as Carter had
when he lifted the title from Ike
Williams three years ago.
Both scaled 1876 pounds, the
exact lightweight limit. when
they weighed in shortly after
noon today at the Garden.
(The bout will be televised
in Washington by WNBW and
broadcast by WMAL starting
at 10 o'clock
In what little wagering there
has been on this fight, which
hasn't stirred up much interest
hereabouts, Carter has been
favored at odds ranging from
3 to l to 4 to /. and he's a 7-to-5
choice to knock out the rugged,
charging scrapper from Brook
lyn. Jimmy was the 3-to-1 un-
derdog when he stopped Will
llams in IA rounds to become
champion.
Since then Carter has fought
for the title eight times, lost it
once to Lauro Salas and won
it back again, and has become
a vastly improved fighter.
The bout is expected to draw
about 1000 fans and $50, 900 at
reserved seat prices ranging from
$3.50 to $40. That's about what
Carter drew when he defended
the title here against George
Araujo last June.
Carter is a cool, careful fight
err. In his three title bouts last
year he bombed Tommy Collins
numerically for four rounds,
stopped Araujo in Is and Ar
mand Savoie in five.
DeMarco diSregards the odds
and the obvious facts in pre-
dieting he'll win tonight.
Paddy's style of fighting is to
put his head down and charge
in. sometimes connecting with
his skull instead of his fists.
And he thinks he can keep it
up for Is rounds as easily as 10.
Garter is slow and I'll make
him hustle" DeMarco said. "All
I hope is that he tries to bomb
me out with his right"
Replied Jimmy: II hope he
comes in swinging like he says
he intends to. I'll meet him with
the right kind of punches"
