SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1955 THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE TURFS 1.1 n n y r- n J CUFF NOTS By ; BERNIE WEISS Carolina's basketball cam paign, brought to at abrupt Iialt by. the unpredictable Lowell '"Lefty" Davis Thurs day rifght in Raleigh's Rey nolds .Coliseum, was unsuc cessf ul from the point of wins ana josses. i The team wound up with a ip-n record,, but to hear the ITXC coaches talk, you would think they are satisfied with the team's showing. "The record should have been .8-13," says fresh mentor Iiuckj Freeman. "I think, we did very well," says varsity coach Frank McGuire. As .reasons for these state ments, they of course gave the class of competition against which Carolina was faced. Mc Guire says the Big Four teams, as they were this past season, were just too much for the under-manned UXC five. So the cry of "Wait 'til next year is going around now. c McGuire 4a n hardjy hardly wait. Sitting with ants in his pants in his office yes terday and reflecting over the past three and a half months, he said' next season would be the first real one for Carolina. "When one of our big men isn't playing well temporarily, we can put him on the bench for a' while. There will be many - good players fighting for that' starting position and the competition will be such as to make the starters strive harder to keep their places." Srj basketball fades from the Carolina sports scene for a few weeks. Spring cage drills open -March 22 for one month. - . . Pity Frank Goodwin, the reserve who, sat on the bench for a large part of the season and finally got into a game early Thursday night against the Deacons. Goodwin was in the game less than five minutes before he got into a scrap under the basket with Davis. Accidently he came up with an inch gash over his right eye when Davis' ring caught him. Goodwin was forced to leave the game, never got back in, and found that four stitches were neces sary to close the wound. -This was the second eye in jury of the season. Farlier, Bob Young rolled out of the sack in the wee hours of the morning and banged his fore head on a bar-bell carelessly left 011 the floor near his bed. 'Three factors spelled de feat for Carolina in the tourn ament, which goes into its final round tonight. 1. Carolina was able to make only 18 free throws to Wake Forest's 31. '2. The Deacon Davis, who had siiown practically nothing agamst UNC in two other games'!, this season, came through with 32 points and creneraily played an excellent name in all categories. Davis hit on 13 of 22 He,d al tries and six of . nine free "throw"!.': 3. 'Carolina's Lennie Ros Vnbliith fouled out early, and Vwherpie left, the UNC scoring punch went with hnn. He scored 29 points before leav ing tjfie game. For- those who are wonder- in-r about 'ninth's setting a -new 'sthool scoring record lie didh't make it. The mark of George Glamack (19I8) "still Stands at 578. Rosen i.u.tWc .on aerainst Wake l or- 3est gave him a seasons total Ed's Passing Shows Polish In Grid Drills Ken Keller, McMullen, Williams First Backs By JACK MURPHY The tremendous improvement of Eddie Sutton at the yet unfamiliar quarterback post is the big news on the spring football front. On the first scrimmage of this week, the converted halfback con tinually fumbled, stumbled, and generally jumbled up the plays un til the backfield looked like a Sun-, day school playing drop the hand kerchief. Since then the Morehead Schol ar has developed almost overnight into a much more polished ball handler and is rapidly ganing con fidence. His passing has also ira? proved to double his potential. Sut ton's greatest forte' is his ability to carry the ball. WITH SUTTON in the present first team backfield are: Ken Kel ler and Larry McMullen at the halfbacks and rising sophomore Howard Williams at fullback.-The line has Will Frye and Buddy Payne at ends, Captain Roland Perdue and Jack Maultsby at tack les, John Jones and Bill Koman at guards, and George Stavnitski at center. A Backfield coach Steve Belichik has been drilling the backs in vic ious tackling sessions all week, possibly foreseeing the need of a strong defensive secondary in the wake of such threats as Oklahoma, Notre Dame, and Maryland, to name only a few of the national powers on the '55 schedule. William (Rattler) Boyette is the most recent casualty. The sotcky guard had fourteen stitches taken in his upper lip after Tuesday's scrimmage. THE STEADY improvement of Sutton has added new hope to the picture as the gridders end their second week of spring prac tice which has featured a great upheaval of spirit in the daily hour long scrimmages. N.C. State-Duke Meet Tonight In ACC Finals RALEIGH, March 4. Ut Ronnie Mayer, a 6-4 junior forward, pour ed 34 points through the nets, six in the overtime period, to lead Duke to a 90-77 victory over Vir ginia tonight in the semi-finals of the Atlantic Coast Conference bas ketball tournament. Duke thus qualified as ACC rep resentative in the NCAA Eastern playoff against Villanova in New York next Tuesday. North Carolina State, which meets Duke tomorrow night for the conference title, is ineligible for NCAA play this sea son. State advanced by whipping Wake Forest 85-70 with a 25 point blast in the last 10 V2 min utes. North Carolina State, serving a one-year suspension from NCAA competition for violating the. rule against trying out athletes, has beaten Duke twice in regular sea son meetings, by five and six points. State will compete in tht National AAU tournament at Den ver late this month. Virginia, playing its second suc cessive overtime tournament game after a 13-14 season's record, gave the second-seeded Blue Devils of Duke a grim battle tonight. Duke had run up over 100 points in tak ing two from the Cavaliers earlier in the year. It was a basket by Mayer 75 seconds before the end of regu lation that enabled Duke to tie the score at 74-all. A Virginia basket that might have completed the major upset was nullified when the Cavalier bench called timeout with a min ute left. When play resumed Vir ginia waited until eight seconds were left for one winning shot, but the try by Buzz Wilkinson, who scored 32 points, was wild and brought on overtime. Duke's big running team pour ed 16 points through in the five minute overtime to win going away as Virginia's bid collapsed under the pressure. s Freshmen Are Favored In Tank Tourney Today By BOB COLBERT The first annual Freshman In vitational Swimming Champion ships will be held in Bowman Gray indoor pool at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

There will be more competition for team berths than there has 'been in several years, since there ar many returnees from last fall's varstiy and freshman teams capa ble of nailing down starting jobs. All but five of 20 lettermen will return from last season's varsity squad which finished second in the conference with a 3-2-1 record and ended the season with an ov erall record of 3-4-1. Calvin Lane, who has lettered for the past two years, will cap tain the squad. Lane's action was cut short last season when he 'broke a leg in a match against Duke, but Allen said he is capable of playing any position' and will use him wherever necessary. Last year Lane alternated between the goalie spot and a fullback post. GROVER BROWN, a fullback. and Pete cothran, who occupied a forward line slot last year, are two other stalwarts who will be hack for more duty. State's Mattson, Out For Records N. C.

THE SQUAD will go through drills from 4 to 6 o'clock in the afternoons, concentrating on the fundamental aspects of the game and learning to work better as a team.

O, BOCA CRANDE ' . t I BOCA GHANDE, FLORIDA I CQMPttmr AtCONlmCU0 I WRITE FOR RESERVATIONS ' or contact: JIM FURCHES 301 Cobb Dorm 9-8000 Chuck Hartman May Be Answer At Second Base By MARSHALL WALDMAN Baseball Coaches Walter Rabb and Bunn Hearn, who have been scurrying around for the last two weeks searching for a replacement, for injured second sacker Harry Lloyd, may have come up with the man to fill the bill. Chuck Hartman, an outstanding performer at third base for last year's freshman squad, worked out yesterday at the keystone sack. Hartman played second base while in high school so the post is not unfamiliar. Hartman presents a tough tar get for a pitcher because of his small size. He collected a good many walks with the freshmen and Coach Rabb hopes that he can do the same for the varsity. He is a left handed batter, which gives him the advantage of that extra step when running down the first 'base line. Chuck's speed and size could give Coach Rabb the leadoff man that he is looking for. Hartman's move to second increases the num Iber of candidates to three. Buddy iStrause, of Charlotte, and Bill Brake, a transfer student from ICampbell Junior College, have been working at second since train ing began. COACH RABB has just about resigned himself to the fact that Lloyd will not be available to op en the season at second base. He will continue experimenting with Strause, Hartman and Brake and one of the three should get the nod on opening day. Rabb said that he could not pre dict how the Tar Heels would fare this season. He did say, "The Tar Heels will have a good, aggressive faall club, but we'll have to wait and see what the other teams have 'before we'll know how we stand." Robb sent each of his charges to the batting cage for some hitting practice yesterday. The field was still slow because of the recent rain, but today he hopes to get in a good long workout, which will Etart at 2 P.M. and wind up the 'third full week of practice. Another sidelight of the cham pionships will have North Caro lina's 300-yard medley relay team shooting for its own national in tercollegiate record of 3:45.9 set earlier this season against Michi gan. Charlie Krepp, Drake and Dick Baker make up the relay team. N. C. State and North Carolina, Winner and runner-up respectively during the regular season, are ex pected to dominate the championships. J th i 1 " Finals In ACC The first Atlantic Coast Confer ence wrestling tournament will move into its final round this aft ernoon at 3 o'clock in Woollen Gym. The first four preliminary matches were held yesterday aft ernoon before a sparse gathering of 100 spectators, but the evening session saw a much larger crowd.
