UNC victo BY BETSY WILCOX Of The Gamecock staff The USC men's tennis team was handed its third loss in 21 outings as they were defeated 8-1 by the University of North Carolina. UNC, the number one team in the ACC, and the number seven team in the 1974 NCAA's, has a season record of 23-1. In singles competition, Clyde Skaflestad posted USC's only win against the Tar Heels, as he downed UNC's number one seed, Bill Brock, 6-7, 6-4, 6-3. "Clyde played his best match of the year," said coach Ron Smarr. Skaflestad is 15-9 on the season. Three other three-setters proved to be the downfall of the Gamecocks, as Jeff Kefalos fell to Joe Garcia, 7-6, 1-6, 7-5. Phil Dukes was defeated by Earl Hassler, 6-1, 3-.6, 6-4, and previously unbeaten Jeff Hull was downed by June Chatman, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4. Hull's singles record is now 20 1. "Phil had a ten day lay-off and he was kind of stale for Sunday's match. It hurt him," said Smarr. "Kefalos had Garcia at match point twice, but couldn't win," he added. In doubles competition, UNC's Bill Brok and Tom Dixon defeated Clyde Skaflestad and Andreas Hufschmid, 6-1, 6-3.
