Witnesses were his father, E.B. Sutphen, and Norman Lougee. Although Steve Copeland's tee shot wasn't a thing of beauty, an ensuing chip shot was, and he stroked a 55-yarder into the cup for a birdie.

Confederate Acres The spirit of competing on the golf course is half the fun, but Randy Isley, Larry Simpson and Gordon Smith aren't sure of this fact.

"Linebacker Ken Simmons and tackle Bobby Glenn have ankle injuries," Coach Frye said.

We might hold Simmons out, however, so that his in- jury will be sure to heal by the tone High Point plays here week after next." The Bulldogs, i Durham to just 38 yards rushing and 52 yards total offense, appeared extremely strong with its defensive platoon last Friday night. "We're going to be working more on offense this week," said the Bulldog a "Actually, our offensive line didn't block too badly against that big Durham line, but our timing was off considerably. We're going to try real hard to correct that." Coach Frye said there would be few, if any, changes in his lineup Friday night. "Mike Lemons, a 6-2, 195- pound junior tackle, probably is going to see quite a bit of action this week.

He's coming along real well." Frye noted that for Bulldog fans making the trip to Tuscola, overnight accomodations will be plentiful at the Lambuth Inn at a Junaluska, which is near Waynesville. Several a have voiced the intention of going to the game Friday night, spending the night and playing golf on one of the many mountain courses the next day.

R-D Captures First Playoff Tilt, 5-1; Teams Collide Here Tonight By JIM HODGES Times-News Sports Writer ATHLETIC PARK, Durham The end came suddenly for Dick Nold's i i streak.

a i -Durham Phillies scored a pair of runs in their half of the first inning of last night's game at Durham Athletic Park and the Alamance Senators could get but one of the runs back while the Phils were padding the lead which a stretched to 5-1, a i Raleigh-Durham a 1-0 leader in this, the finals of the Carolina League a series. The loss ended Nold's streak at nine wins Now the Senators have to do it the hard way, by winning the last two games of the series. The second game will be played tonight in Fairchild Park and Gene Baker has received the nomination from Sens' manager Bill Haywood to attempt to even the score. Game time is 7:30. Baker will also be attempting to even his own personal score with the Phils.

It was R-D who beat Baker 1-0 in Raleigh in his only start of the season in Raleign. Nold, the most consistant Nats' hurler down the stretch appeared to be just pitched out last night as the Phils hit him hard early. The big righthander had truuole keeping the ball down and" the hcme team jumped on ihe high pitches with reckless abandon. In the first frame, after getting Tom Silicato on an infield out, Nold walked Jack Earle Promises Bowls, Delivers RALEIGH When Earle Edwards recruited his current crop of football juniors, he guaranteed them that they'd play in bowl garnet in each of varsity seasons. "We play in the Orange Bowl this year (Oct.

3 versus Miami), and in the Sugar Bowl in 1970 (Nov. 21 versus Tulane), and last season we played Southern Methodist in die Cotton Bowl" a i Edwards. "By playing in the bowls early, we can relax on New Year's Day and enjoy those games," added the Wolfpack coach with tongue-in-cheek. It might be added that Edwards' Wolfpack has been the last Atlantic Coast Conference team to appear in an "actual" bowl game when state beat Georgia, 14-7, in the 1967 Liberty Bowl. Merger Seen In Future By Gardner ROCKY MOUNT, N.

C. (AP) --A merger of the rival American Basketball Association and National Basketball Association has again been predicted by ABA president James Gardner. He said he did not know when such a merger might occur. But Gardner said, "I think there will eventually be a merger. It could be immediate and then again it can be (in the) future." Gardner said negotiations about a merger were halted last month when the NBA "made certain demands that we couldn't go along with." The ABA president also said his league was not raiding when it recently signed Spencer Haywood, a Detroit University star.

Haywood "wasn't the property of anyone and all we did was help this boy in financial trouble out. This is the thing he 'knows best to make a living," 'Gardner said. When the college player was signed by the ABA. NBA commissioner Walter Kennedy said the ABA was "raiding" and 'harrasstng" to get the rival leagues to merge. Disher.

Rick Wissell singled to right and Sam Pariila, a thorn in Nold's side all night hit a high fly near the left field wall but playable. Leftfielder Cary Ratliff lost the ball in the failing daylight and when it came down Disher was across the plate. A base- running mixup on part of Wissell and Parhla caught Wissell in a rundown between third and home plate and tagged Wissell for the second out. But Nold wasn't out of the woods yet. R-D's all-star first Laver Routs Roche, Wins U.S.

Title FOREST HILLS, N.Y. (AP) --Australian Rod Laver recognized as the world's No. 1 tennis player and acclaimed by many as perhaps the greates: of all is ready at 31 to phase out his career. "I have three years to go on a Eive-year contract," the little left-hander said after beating fellow Aussie Tony Roche 7-9, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 Monday for the U.S. Open crown and his second grand slam.

"I intend to play those three years at least--cutting down perhaps on my tournament schedule. After that, well, we'll just have to see. "I love tennis--but I also love my wife. I have been travelling the tennis circuit for 15 years, since I was 16.1 think it's time I start having a home life." Laver's wife, Mary, whom he married in Francisco, June, is in 1966, Corona San Del baseman Greg Luzinski singled to right off a high fast ball, driving Pariila across for the second run. Nold finally got Bob Boone to fly out to end the inning.

Phillies' lefthander Steve Cates spaced seven hits along the way to his eighth win of the year, against two setbacks. Most of the safeties the Nats were able to muster off Mr. Cates came with two out and it became increasingly difficult to mount any kind of threat as the innings wore on. They managed to avert a shutout in the fifth inning when, with two out naturally, Sonny Bowers doubled into rightcenter, and Nold lined a single into left, i Bowers. R-D got that run back, and another with it, in one fell swoop of Parilla's bat in the bottom half of the same frame.

Disher singled, and with one out, Pariila powered a pitch over the left field wall for a 4-1 margin. Another run the eighth brought the firal margin. A third game, if necessary will be played in Durham Athletic Park a night. Haywood has already announced his pitching choice for that one, big righthander Jeff Vollweiler. BURLINGTON RALEIGH-DUR.

"It was due Sunday, Laver said, smiling when someone suggested perhaps there was a delay because of rain, as was the tennis tournament.

Laver is under contract to the National Tennis League, directed by George MacCall of Los Angeles, and is committed to play in so many tournaments. "I hope next year to start limiting myself to the bigger money tournaments," he said. "Then I hope to sort of phase out of the picture. The new guys are getting too tough." Laver, who with his $16.000 first prize in the U.S. Open! boosted his year's winning to a record $106.030.

predicted that in five years purses will be doubled and even quadrupled. "And you have a lot of good young players coming to play for them." the court king said.
