Pago Four THE DAILY TAR HEEL Saturday, January 14, IG31 EH3 O " nxo n n n Matmen Meet State For 2nd ACC Win State College is the next ob stacle of the North Carolina wrestling learn in a match which could see the Tar Heels climb over the .500 mark for the second time this year. Carolina's record is presently 3-3, and not 2-3 as erroneously reported for the past three days. The grapplers swamped Pfeif fer Junior College here last Monday by a score of 24-6. State, which sports a 1-3 sea son mark, also defeated Pfeif fcr, turning the trick last Sat urday by 19-8. It was the first and only victory for the win hungry Wolfpack. Their losses came at the hands of Maryland, Virginia and an out-of-confer-ence foe. Sparkplugs for the Pack crew this year have been Bob Rey nolds in the 147-pound class and heavyweight Paul Iaegert. These men have captured a majority of the State wins in their four matches thus far. Carolina. 1-0 in the ACC, will lead with Pope Shufcrd in the 157-pound class and Cole Kort ner the heavyweight. Other members of the team who de serve watching are Tom Alex ander, Glen Glaser, Reg Booker, Dick Blackman and Frank Lon don. Today's contest opens a four match road stand for the Tar Heels. Their next match will be against the team which Barnes formerly coached, Virginia Military Institute. uvi mm o o MM ism -I r i UUUUll T . : : x-x Jl-: mm::. , f 'is ? it J I IF IE Mfe&miBE I By Milton Gross Frk McGvtr Reprinted by permission of The New York Post Copyrighl 1960, The Post Frank McGuire's 9-year-old son is a cerebral palsy victim. It is a pathetic thing to see the kid trying to communicate with his parents or having to be carried from one' place to another. It is a happy thing to see how little makes the boy happy a word of recognition from one of the basketball players his father coaches at North Carolina or the re-run of a film of a Tarheel game in which little Frankie recognizes one of the players who are kind to him. One of these is York Larese. Ihe Greenwich Village boy who plays for Frankie's dad at North Carolina but even maybe York doesn't appreciate how deeply a little kindness goes to this afflicted child. Earlier this season, for instance, McGuire's players gave ihe child a basketball sweater on the back of which was No. 10. ihe number worn by Lennie Rosenbluth when North Carolina won ihe NCAA championship in the 32 game undefeated 1956-1957 season. Carolina retired the num ber afier thai. Bui No. 10 has continued io mean Rosenbluih to little Frankie. It was Larese who picked up Frankie in his arms when they put the sweater on the kid in the warming ceremony at McGuire's home in Chapel Hill recently and the t-'vy- " , , kid smiled in his tortured way at Larese and vl said, "Reesey, baby." M Something like this should have told the ; v ' NCAA council a whole lot more about Frank McGuire, how he recruits basketball players from New York and what kind of relationship develops between this unique coach and his players than their investigators uncovered. Over the past year and a half the NCAA probers have built u case against McGuire, who is charged with b:fn overly generous with fringe bent-fits to the players. A good deal of the alleged evidence against McGuire came from rival Southern coaches, who only too happily blew the whistle. They, like the NCAA, live in a two-dimensional world. McGuire has won too much and he did it only because he wan guilty of excessive entertainment. Hut there in another dimension even in the frantic world of college Pports. It is the side of McGuire which makes a player a pari of his family and he become a pari of their. It is ihe lhlng which is so lacking too often in other colleges where recruiting is undertaken just as intensively as at North Carolina, but they seek to acquire and build a baskeiball player without building a man. Fringo benefits.. Is understanding a violation of the NCAA's principles? Is concern for the player's fuluro a ires pass on ihe law? When Pete llrcnnan went to North Carolina his teeth pro truded so badly his guuw and lip4 were t ut any time a stray elbow caught him in the mouth. The college cinith.t repaired Brcnnan's teeth. There wiin iio d al that Ihl i would be part of Brennan's benefits. It had to 1m- Hone and it was done. Bobby Cunningham, another plnyer on NC's championship team, played for All Hallows High. A half dozen colleges made higher bids than McGuire, but ihey shied off when Cunning-, ham fell through a glass door in his senior year. He cut his hand so badly that 38 stitches were needed lo close the wound. The word went out that Cunningham wouldn't be able lo use his fingers. McGuire didn't core. He visiled Dob's home and told him that whether or not he could play he could go to North Carolina on a scholarship. Another player no longer at college hml a brother in trouble with the police. McGuire made the player'n family problem his own problem. Through his friend: in the New York City Police Dept. he was able to make it easier for the boy, Still another got into a fight at Greenwood Lake, N. Y., where McGuire has n summer home, and was picked up by the topi. The Judge con tacted McGuire. Frank got the player ofT, but fired him ' olT Ids team. A month later the player's father called McGuire, begged him to take him back again because the coach was the only one who could handle the boy. Somehow ii seems a lot more than geographical ccinci dence thai every key man on Frank's championship team is now nicely pieced. Cunningham works for IBM In Jackson. Miss. Tommy Kearns is with a brokerage house in Greensboro. Rosenbluth is managing a bowling alley in Chapel Hill. Jo Quigg and Danny Loiz are attending dental school at North Carolina. None of them came from New York bonus which could have assured them any decent future. The families of some know from experience that a police blotter had nothing to do with ink. The NCAA has found this so hard lo understand. Their investigators asked Frank in tones of skepticism how he pos sibly could get so many of the best from New York to come to Chapel Hill. They could have heard ihe answers in so many places and from so many different kinds of people, who long ago discovered thai McGuire is more than a basketball coach. In Mendel's chuleni parlor, a Lower East Side restaurant where the guy, McGuire. was at home with the Jews, on the West Side waterfront, in the Police Dept. and Fire Dept.. in Green wich Village, in settlement houses and churches, all around the town, there are those who have feli McGuire's warmth and concern for others who needed help as he once did when he was a tough Mick from the Village, So they asked him in Pittsburgh on Sunday when he made kis last plea how he could recruit so successfully without doing it illegally. "Through lifelong friendships," McGuire answered. Friendship would seem io be a dirty word. gss"-' 4- , , V 1 i TOM D'ARMI, Man of Experience Coach Earey Hoping For Upset- B'Armi:A-A, Coach, Trainer And Guard A young man with a wide andment by band leader Fred War- colorful background has played an important role in the suc cess of North Carolina athletics this year. He is Tom D'Armi, assistant soccer coach and phy sical education instructor, a former All-American with nu merous contacts in the sports world. D'Armi is a native of Mary land who attended East Strouds- burg, Pennsylvania, State Col lege. As a high schooler, he played three varsity sports soccer, basketball, and baseball. He earned a first team berth on the All-State soccer team. He was the top scorer in eastern Maryland during his senior year of basketball play, and was voted the most outstanding player in the region. He drew some attractive professional of fers after batting .383 for four years of baseball play, but de cided instead to work for u col lege education. His athletic career enjoyed continued success on the colle giate level. In 1956, he earned the All-America honor for his soccer play. As a goalie, he played in 24 consecutive games without allowing a single goal. lie starred as a basketball player for East Stroudsburg, and set a school record in the javelin throw on the track team. He participated twice in this event in the Penn Relays. After completing a hitch in the Army and finishing his undergraduate education, D'Armi began a string of inter esting jobs that carried him over the United States. He joined the Atlantic City Beach Patrol and the Delaware River 1 leach Patrol. Later, he became a Held representative for the Itcd Cross First Aid and Water Safety division. This position led to employ ing as pool manager at his re sort in Pennsylvania, "Shaw- nee-On-Delaware." His interest in athletics spread into the field of training, and he became a partner of Whitey Bernstein, one of the foremost trainers in the country. In 1956, he was an assistant trainer of Tommy "Hurricane" Jackson, and was Jackson's official body guard during the training per iod before the World Champion ship fight with Floyd Patterson. He appeared on the Ed Sullivan TV show twice with Jackson. D'Armi has also helped to train such well-known fighters as Willie Besmanoff, the Ger man heavyweight champion, and Cuban boxer Nino Valdes. Before coming to UNC as a graduate student and assistant soccer coach, D'Armi worked with New York Yankee star Phil Hizuto as a public relar tions executive in Union, New Jersey. Currently, he holds summer employment at "Broad stone," a boys' athletic camp in Western North Carolina, where he coaches soccer and swim ming. During holidays, he was cm- ployed by the staff of the Or ange Bowl. OI irir n 0 1 Doumern ill. Mere For 8 pin Tank Meet By GARY DALTON Carolina swimming Coach Pat Earey has hopes of upset ting Southern Illinois College when the two teams tangle in Bowman Gray Pool tonight at 8 p.m. Southern Illinois is the defending NAIA champion and has a 3-1 record this year. Their only loss was to Indiana, one of the strongest, if not the strongest, swimming team in the nation. Last night Southern Illinois swam against the Wolfpack of N. C. State in Raleigh. The NAIA champs are led by Ray Padovanr the new Ameri can and NAIA champion in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle. His times are 21.9 and 48.7, respec tively. Walt Rogers, 200-yard indi vidual medley champion, is also a top threat in the 220 free style, which he has done in 2:10. Carolina Coach Earey said yesterday that his boys "have really caught fire this week. Track Season Starts Today North Carolina and N. C State tip off the indoor track season today at 2 o'clock in the Tin Can, as Coach Dale Ranson of the Tar Heels unveils a lot of new faces on both his varsity and freshman squads. The two teams will participate in simul taneous meets. Among the newcomers on the varsity will be Jimmy Brown, a fine sprinter and hurdler, who transferred from SMU last year. Also in the blue and white col ors will be Gerry Stuver, the sophomore who was runner-up to Rett Everett in the ACC cross country championship this past fall. Ranson is concerned with filling spots in the dashes and in the shot put. "We just don't have anybody ready for those positions," he said. He added, however, that he is fairly well pleased with the other spots. They have worked hard and are ready for competition." Earey plans to counter the Southern Illinois sprint team of Padovan and Rogers with Harry Bloom, Barry King, and Bob Bilbro. Bloom's times in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle are 23 and 49.9 seconds, respectively. King, a sophomore, has swum the 200-yard individual medley in 2:14.6. Bilbro has done the 220-yard freestyle in 2:14. Al though he is short on exper ience, the junior has improved with each meet and may come of age in this meet, according to Coach Earey. Carolina's other outstanding swimmers include Co-Captain Harv Hamrick (backstroke), Jim Huffman (backstroke), and Co-Captain Vin Simonton (butterfly). Tar Heels 9. ror ww HO Oil Rank Collegiate Skate Teams Play Today Carolina meets Duke today in a game of ice hockey that is the result of two years of work by both players and sponsors. The match will begin at 2 p, m. at the Holiday Ice Rink, on High way 70 west of Durham. Both teams are members of the Sportsmen Club, an ama teur organization that has sup plied new uniforms to the play ers and has outfitted the rink for hockey play. Jerry Can tini, former All-East goalie at Brown, is the president of the Club and a performer on the Duke team. The seventh-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels, in second place in the Atlantic Coast Con ference, will try to improve a bit on both of those positions tonight when they face the Cavaliers of Virginia in Char lottesville. Coach Frank McGuire's ta lented cagers know that they may be stepping into a hornet's nest when they enter the small Cavalier gym, for they well re member how unpredictable the Wahoos can be. For example, the twice victorious Virginians forced Duke into an overtime period before losing by 92-90. With as little as 2:45 to play, Duke was behind by eleven points. The two Virginia wins came over V MI m me Kichmond Tournament and over South Carolina Monday night. Laquiniano Leads Tony Laquintano, a 5-11 jun ior from Philadelphia, has been the top scoring threat for the Cavaliers. When the Tar Heels trounced Virginia here by 81- 47, Carolina guard Don Walsh did a fine defensive job on the small shooting whiz, holding him to eleven points. Latest fig ures available show him sixth in the ACC with a 19.5 average. The second high scorer has been John Hasbrouck, who wasn't even listed on the roster strong men in the lineup are guard Lou Farina, center Walt Densmore, and forward Gene Flamm. Coach McGuire will go with the same lineup that h..s started the previous eleven ?ontets. York Larese, who played in the pivot against the Wake Forest man-to-man defense Tuesday night, will probably return to his outside slot against the Cavaliers. Walsh will see fust duty at the other guard, but top replacements Larry Brown and Yogi Poteet should see plenty of action. All-America Doug Moe is a mainstay at one of the forward positions, but three men have regularly filled the other posts under the basket. Dick Kepley opens at center and Jim Hudock operates at the other forward, but M odse McComb, a hustling rebounder, has been doing a lot of duty under the boards. McGuire can also call upon reserves Dieter Krause, Harry Jones, and Marty Conlon for the tough rebounding work. Freshmen Play The Carolina freshmen will play in a preliminary game. Coach Kenny Rosemond's boys defeated the Cavayearlings here in an early-season match. Start ing for the frosh will be center Jim "Duke" Fisher, guards Mike Cooke and Tom Ryan, and for wards Bryan McSweeney and at the start of the season. Other Art Katz.
