tjhttct ay; itu n jap.y n; i o toe daily tab. heel pa en TiiHsr Another Picture By Buddy Vaden A Bad Habit ;;: an oUl habit at ihr beginning of a new year to review the f-vents of th- past 3;.' days and try and pick out the top five or ten rvvms that have been most noteworthy or most exciting. With Xh" kind of year the Tar Heels 0f Chapel Hill had, that is no small task. To try and pick only five of the top news stories of the year would eliminate many of the attraction.- that certainly topped the .rt.; news coming from North Carolina 0n many . occasions. The first choice was no trouble at all. The story started way back in January when it was confirmed that the Tar Heel football leg ion: would cot a crack at the Fighting Irish cf Notre Dame in New York City. And then ten months later the li'l ole Corn Bread Boys J rem deep in Dixie put on their Sunday clothes, hitched a ride to the city of seven million cliff dwellers, and pushed the New York prrs' back on iu ulcers lor 3, minutes before giving way to the Kirh of life in Yankeyland. The much respected newspapermen in Now York wasted galley after galley 0f type moaning about how rr,rry they were that they would be forced to sit through the dull uttrmoon while the Iri?h marched up and down the Yankee Stad um field at will. It didn't take them long to turn their typewriters inside out praising the "gallant Carolina squad" that held Notre Dame to six points the first half. And that was without Charlie Jusitce, who v.u,; sitting on the sideline as a result of an ankle linjury the prev ious week. And the football game wasn't the only news that week end. The activities of the loyal fans who made the 500 mile trip were good enough to the make the front pages of the conservative Manhattan papers. Not only was the Notre Dame game the biggest rpnrts news of the year, but it was also newsworthy enough to rank sixth in the state for all news during 1949, according to the AP. Our Ambassador Ward Wei, that's the number one story. The following four were hard lo rate any one more important than the other. But one fellow in cne sport stood out above the rest. Not only was he a champion in his own sport, but he was a true sportsman, the kind of man that can do more good for the University of North Carolina than a barrel of Cotton Bowl money. Harvie Ward is the guy and golf is nis sport. His greatest effort during the vear was out in Arnes. Inwa, where he won the NCAA golfer's title. Later in the year he wnt to the semi-finals of the National Amateur, and had prev iously reached the finals of tne North-South tourney at Pinehurst. He was a first class ambassador from Chapel Hill. The number three story of the year concerns the third person ever to win a national title at Chapel Hill. Norm Sper, the cheer leading aquabat, spent the summer in California and captured the National AAU platform diving title in a field of stars described as the best ever assembled in one pool of water. On top of that, Sper was a consistant winner on the Carolina swimming team, competing in the backstroke. He had won diving titles before, but this was the climax of his spectacular diving career. Story number four is another football piece. At the beginning of the year people in the know had tagged the Carolina football team as nothing more than a 50-50 chance a team loaded with sopho mores. But it was also a team with Charlie Justice and Art Weiner. Some had predicted a five and five season, some said the Tar Heels would be lucky to win four games. Nobody had expected a bowl bid at the beginning of the year. !

This evening's clash at the Tw,in-City will pit the Tar Heels against a potent Hanes Hosiery outfit with the opening tip-off slated for 8 o'clock in the Rey nolds Gym. Saturday night Tom Scott's lads meet Davidson at Charlotte before taking off for a brief jaunt next week for a clash with Kentucky at Xiexington on January 9 and a pair of contests with the University of Miami down in the Sunshine State. Carolina Improving The Tar Heels will take to the foreign court tonight hoping to improve on their overall four irp land four down record so far in this still young season. Carolina's fortunes hit a low in December when they lost a squeaker to Lenior Rhyne but in the Dixie Classic in Raleigh over the Christ mas Holidays, the Tar Heels amazed the sporting public with three sparkling exhibitions. Hanes again boasts a team that has held its own in collegiate competition this season, including decisions over Duke and Wake Forest. With their ace and former Carolina star John Dillon, now playing for Washington in the pro league, the Hosierymen's hopes rest on another Tar Heel alumnus. Bob Paxton, and Hugh Hampton, a veteran who gained his college experience at High Point College. ! Fred Swartzburg and Don Ander son are other agents who will see action against their alma mater. Nemo Nearman regained his early stride by netting 21 points against Maryland and Scott can point to a strong forward duo of Hugo Kappler and John Tsantes.

Tar Heel teams and athletes put irp a good showing all year round, both in conference ; and national competition, with several play ers earning positions on All Con ference and All America teams. The Tar Heel , basketball team compiled a season record victories and seven defeats, in cluding a 60-49 win over Arizona in the Camellia Bowl and victories each over Duke Wake Forest. In the Southern j Conference, Carolina had a 13-5 1 record that was good enough for third place in the final standings. In the Conference tournament at Durham, the Tar Heels breezed by Maryland, 79-61, and then al most pulled the upset of the year before losing out in the closing minutes to N.C. State's powerful Wolfpack, 43-40, in the semifinals. Forward Coy Carson led the Conference scoring with 426 points and was named to the All- Conference team." Hugo Kappler The Eyes of Texas in the the Tar Heel indoor track team returned to Chapel. Hill and captured first place in the Southern Conference Championships in Woollen Gym, scoring 52 points to second -place Maryland's 33. Bill Albans shat tered five individual records dur ing the course of the meet, an al most unheard of feat.

The Tar Heel splash- two fers had a season record of five andj wins and one loss their first in the last 27 meets to Ohio State's National champs. Then came one of the biggest athletic events ever to take place at . Carolina: the National Inter collegiate Athletic Association's championship ; - swimming meet, which was held in Bowman-Gray Pool. Ohio State captured top honors in the meet, with Carolina placing ninth on the strength of Jim Thomas' seven points.

Jan, 4 There were probably three crucial plays in the North Carolina-Rice 1950 Cotton Bowl battle which side tracked .the Tar Heels to the short end of a 27-13 score. The three plays came in the fateful first three quarters of the game. Each of them was impor tant in the Carolina defeat be- But then the Tar Heels Justice, Weiner, Holdash, Powell, and company won their first four games. Eyes opened up and opinions changed. Then came a defeat by L. S. U. and a sad, sad performance against Tennessee. A trip to New York and Notre Dame. Duke. Virginia a win and an invite from Dallas. Before the news was official there were rumors, but speculation had it that the Tar Heels would turn down a bowl bid. They beat Virginia, took the bid, and made story number four. And then there's the story of Bill Albans. Albans came to Chapel Hill last winter unannounced and unknown. His first appearance in a University uniform was in Washington's Evening Star Games, lie was entered in one event and topped the field in that. He high- jumped six feet, five and one-half inches. But that wasn't where! he made the news. About a month later, back in Chapel Hill he amazed even the most optimistic observers by winning five events in the Southern Conference Indoor Games. He set two new records and created a new record by winning five events. Still a freshman when Fall rolled around. carried the brunt of the Tar Heel, cause each helped prevent the offens ein the recent Raligh toe Tar Heels from either getting in nffpr.se in the recent Raleigh, to position or keeping the ball Not Much Experience Albans, who hadn's had much football experience, went out for ireshman football and was a first string halfback before he received a severe neck injury that put him in the hospital for weeks. People began to wonder what Dale Ranson would do during the forthcom ing indoor track season. Dale Ranson is still wondering because he wants to know how to keep Albans still until his neck heals. There were other big stories in 1949 the NCAA swimming meet at Chapel Hill, the Southern Conference basketball tourna ment when Carolina came within three points of beating State College. Phil Kemp and Oscar Gupton winning wrestling titles, Albans in the decathlon, and the Duke game. And there was Charlie Justice. Justice was THE football news all year from the time he got his first stomach ache in early fall until his last touchdown pass in the Cotton Bowl. It was his last year in Chapel Hill and it was said that the end of his career would bring with it the end of an era. He didn't get off on the long runs that had made him famous in the past years. Only once in the William and Mary game when he went 75 yards did he go for a long run. But he spent a good part of the season on tne sidelines, suffering from this and that. His most serious hurt, a chipped ankle bone, kept him out of the game that he wanted most to play in. The Charlie Justice story wasn't the story of the year it was the story of the century. tournament.

In the fourth quarter, the Blue and White warriors got inspired and cracked the Rice first-string defenses for two powerful 80 yard touchdown drives, proving they had the stuff in them to win if only given a chance. The first crucial play came in the middle of the first quarter. Rice had driven 87 yards from the kickoff and failed to score. Carolina took the ball on the 28 and marched down the field to the Rice 44-yard line. With first and 10 to Charlie Justice took over with third down and three to go. With some nice blocking to give him time, Charlie sidestep ped a few paces, looked far down the field and spotted Johnny Clements streaking into the Rice end zone. Charlie heaved a long one which missed the outstretch ed Clements' hands by inches and he was forced to kick on next down. 1 'From the press box, it looked like Charlie could have made the three yards for the first down without working up a sweat. The opening was there, but he didn't take advantage of it and on the next play the ball was handed back to the Owls, wasting Caro lina's jaunt down close to Rice touchdown territory. . On the second play of the sec ond quarter, Bud Carson figured in the next crucial Tar Heel play. Owl Sonny Wyatt punted from the Rice 27-yard line and Carson moved up from the safety posi tion to take the ball. But the pigskin, or the player one, took a wrong turn because go, Billy they passed each other about the Carolina 35-yard line.
