THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, f 57 FAGE SIX THE DAILY TAR HEEL; D -NY OS Matroe.0 An Old, Old Adage, But Never Truer A team that won't be beat, can't be beat. It's an old time worn phrase, but it never fitted more perfectly than it dues right now when applied to the North Carolina "Tar Heels. The Carolina quint, unbeaten this season and ranked as the nation's number cne team, literally refused to be beaten Tues day night in Winston-Salem as they came off the floor" to whip Wake Forest, 69-64. . ' It was beyond a doubt the toughest game of the season for thef Tar Heels. In fact, they were rated as underdogs by some observers going into the game' even though they had beaten Wake Forest on two previous occasions. ? .. . But this time the Tar Heels didn't have Jo Quicg their 6-9 center. The entire squad numbered 9 men, not even enough" to scrimmage with. Wake Forest, with four talented seniors in tne starting lineup, had been practically unbeatable on their heme floor, and wanted to knock the Tar Heels off very badly. The victory celebration was planned. Dishpans, cowbells, Confed erate flags, cheerleaders and insulting chants were all plentifully in evidence. There was even a banner reading, "Goodbye, Number One." ; All was in readiness for the big upset. But somebody forgot to tell Coach Frank MiGuire and his Carolina basketball team. Many UNC fans ha.i given up, but the nine cagers and their coach were of a more optimistic turn of mind. A Dogfirht From Start To Finish The i'ir half was a bitter dogfight with both teams feeling the ' intense pressure. Wake Forest, even with their four supposedly nerve- -less seniors, ctuhin't hit form the flcr or the loul line in the .early ; minutes. And Carolina seemed intent on hitting a home run each time they got the ball. Eight bad passes in the first ten minutes testifies to th: The lead s?e sawed back and forth. Carolina held a five point lead at 29-24, lost it st 25-30, then gained it back to lea'at half time, 33 32. Then Wake cams cut for the second half and began to pour it tm. Socn they had an 8-point bu.e, 47-39, and the end of a 22 game win ning streak appeared in sight. But the Tar Heels and their ace, Lennie Kosenbluth refused to foM, and came surging tack to knot the game' at 54 all. About that time Wendell Carr and Jack Williams fouled out, and Wake lost4thiir advantage under the boards. The ensuing ! few rruncnts were hectic as the Deacons hung grimly on to the lead. i But with the score 63-64 in favor of Wake with 46 seconds left, Rosenbluth sank two free throws to put the Tar'IIeels on top'by one. Then Bob Cunningham, the unsung hero of the UNC team, '.stole a pass, and everyone knows what happened after that. I i i 'Wait 'Til Next Time' - I It was the third time this year the .Tar Heels have downed Wake j Forest, but 'the Deacs still ,ccm to have that "wait 'till next .time" j spirit. From Bones McKinney and Murray Greason on down, the bat- 1 tling Baptists think they can break the Tar. Heel spell. Seems to us j like "three strikes and you're out" would be a better way of sum-1 ming up the situation 1 - v ! There hae been many champions of the , Carolina rcause .all year long and many reasons why they are still unbeaten. One name, that of Lennie Rosenbluth, is known to all far and wide. But the other. Bob Cunningham, is sometimes lost in the soaring scoring columns. j Cunningham scored 2 points against Wake Forest Tuesday night, i but he was to a larg2 extent the man responsible for beating the Deacons. McGuire called Cunningham's important interception of a I Wake pass in the dying seconds "the key play." And Bones McKinney j remarked after the game that "this is the cond time this year Cun- j ningham has beaten us." He(was referring to the Dixie Classic game in Raleigh when Bob pulled another of his famous stolen ball plays, j Pete Brennan and Tommy. Kearns were also invaluable Tues- day night, and Danny Lotz, Bcb Young and Kenny Rosemond never played better in the face of such intense pressure. It wa a team victory, one of the biggest and bravest team vie-' tories in the history of Carolina basketball. The air in Memorial Ct- j scum was thick with pressure, and nerves were on the thin edge of breaking. But nobody cracked except 8,200 fans. And one delirious ; spcrtswriter. How Much Heart? How much heart can one bunch of boys have? Just ask Frank Mc Guire, He'll tell you. Friday night: Duke. Another impossible task, and without Joe Quigg, who may be sidelined still, the iob grows doybly diffi cult. Bones McKinney issued a warning earlier this year that he'd hate to walk into Duke Gym in the last gam of the season un beaten. Well, the stage is set. A win over Duke will make this the winningest team in UNC j basketball history ,and will give the Tar Heels an unbeaten regular season. With these goaL to shoot for, not to mention such things as ACC and NCAA championships, how can these transplanted Yankees be beaten? We don't believe they will. And we know about 10 other guys who would concur. v By RON MILLIGAN The Duke wrestlers proved to be too strong for the Tar Heels yesterday afternoon as the Blue Devils . handed the locals .a 20 to 8 licking in the Duke Gym. With a crippled, substitute team, Coach Sam Barne's squad fought all the way, but the more experienced Duke team was just too much for th;m to handle. The only Tar Heels to win their matches were 137 pound Perrin Henderson and 167 pound Bill McGehee. Inciden tally. McG:hee's opponent, Menefee. was runner up confer ence champion last year. Dave Atkinson, 177 pounder, was determined not to loss his bout yesterday and althcugh he didn't win over his opponent, Atkinson fought him to a draw. Duke's regular 137 pound Espcsito didn't get to face Tar Heel Perrin Henderson yester day as was Jscheduled. Both were frosh grapplers last year, and they met on two separate occa sions with: both bouts ending in draws.; Esposito defeated Carolina's ,'Bob Wagner in the 130 pound division yesterday. Next Monday the Tar Heels will fight their last match when they meet: the State Wolf pack in Raleigh. The individual results of the UNC-Duke match are as follows: 123 lb: David Wall was pin ned by Bergensen (Duke), V3Q lb. Capt. Bob Wagner was pin ned by Escgsito (D). 137 Jb.
