The failure of the Tar Heels to control the' backboard on the re bounds. Throughout the campaign this season, the top-notch control by the Phants of this stage of the game has meant nearly everything, espe cially against NYU's tall five,- but "Wednesday night things were re rersed and it was the opposition who had things under their control. (Note: It was their ability to take possession of the ball off the Carolina backboard after Don Anderson's last 25' second shot that gave them a tie and a sub sequent win.) 2. The failure of Phantom shoot ing, thus far one of the major ad vantages. In only two games had the Tar Heels gone under 55 points, but the Blue Devils' tight defense held the Phants to a bare 15 points during the first half. Also, during the overtime five minutes, not one of nine shots was good, one free shot giving the only point. Last ly, 11 free throws were missed out of a total of 23, netting a foul shot average of just barely over 50 per cent. 3. The all-around aggressiveness of five Blue Devils, and smooth ball handling and shooting. Ed Koffen berger, who incidentally, transferred to Duke in the Navy just before last season got underway, and Bubber Seward were tops for the Dukesters, See SPINS, page i.

The long space between the halt in the schedule, due to that awful flu plague, last term, plus Christmas and all of its pleasures makes physical exercise almost tor ture. Ah, but remember, chickens, keep fit and healthy, and stay (?) beautiful. Me thinks I see a rush for the gym already. Some people got so eager that they're taking their required stints on Monday evenings. Between the splashings in the pool from those water pageant addicts and the sounds issuing forth from the upper stories of the merry little boys and girls in Social Dancing, the gym rings out merrily even after sunset.

The lineup includes Jim Jor dan, Bob Paxton, John Dillon, Don Anderson and Tee Thorne. Jim White, who turned in one of his best perform ances of the year against Duke, and Red Hughes,- tall first reserve who has been counted upon heavily all the way, will be held in reserve to fit into the first string combine. Long Road Slate Coach Ben Carnevale will take his Phantoms to Davidson in Charlotte, High Point, and South Carolina before returning to home grounds to play North Carolina State here in Woollen gym Wednesday January 23. It is a six game road trip for the Carolina crew, who still have 16 games on deck before the conference tournament. The Tar Heels' record so far stands at nine wins and two losses, one to Duke and one to Greensboro ORD. A fast moving, good shooting Duke University cage crew, paced by the smooth ball-handling and shooting of Ed Koffenberger and the aggressive ness of veteran Bubber Seward, hand ed Carolina its first loss in collegiate competition 'Wednesday night. The tilt, the best of the season in these parts, was seen by some 5,500 fans, and scores were left standing at the doors awaiting admission. . Pull Ahead Carolina was behind virtually all the way until with four and a half minutes before the end the Tar Heels grabbed a momentary 35-34 lead. With but one minute and 36 seconds to play, Duke was back in the lead, 42-' 41, but the Phants put on a last-minute spurt to pull ahead 45-43 with less than 30 seconds to go. Field goals by Jordan and Dillon sent the Tar Heels out front. Within that fatal last 30 seconds, Carolina had control of the ball, with a two-point lead, but while freezing it, Don Anderson took a pass inside and went in for a seemingly good shot, only to have the ball roll off the hoop and Duke gain control. The Blue Devils took the ball down court, and Koffenberger bucketed a field goal to tie the game up, some 20 seconds from the final gun. The Phantoms got a last ditch long shot from about mid-court, but it was no good and the game went into over time. In the overtime period, Duke's good shooting paid off in big dividends, and Dick Whiting, second string Ail American for Muhlenberg last year, hit the hoop twice and Gordan con nected once to send the Dukesters into a decisive lead. In that exfra five min utes, Bob Paxton's foul shot was the only Tar Heel score, 15 shots at the basket failing. Duke hit three times in six tries. ' High scoring honors for the night were divided equally Detween uaro- lina's Dillon, and Duke's Seward and Koffenberger, each getting 14 points. Sarge, Jr." Takes Over His Father's Tfe . g-t Jf OSlllOIl AX The name of "Sarge" Keller is al ready known to hundreds of Carolina athletes over the last 15 years, and it may be known to countless more for the next 25 or 50 years. "Sarge", who has been manager of the University athletic equipment room since 1930, has resigned, but his place was taken by "Sarge, Jr.," who recently returned from 34 months overseas also a sergeant. It's a standing joke around Woollen Gymnasium that "Sarge", as he is known to one and all, just held onto his post long enough for "Sarge, Jr.", to get home so his name would stick to the Equipment Room indefinitely. "Sarge, Jr." was in the ground end of the 12th and 15th Air Force in Africa and Italy for 'Oiree years, but that's nothing compared to big "Sarge" who served for 30 years with the regular army 'round the world.
