(f7 rmms TOP mm, Ruling Is Suspended By Conference Committeemen By Rip Slusser GREENSBORO Atlantic Coast Conference Commis sioner James Weaver yesterday ruled that basketball players Larry Brown and Don Walsh of the University of North Carolina and Art Heyman of Duke have been de clared ineligible to compete against other ACC teams for the remainder of the regular season. However, Duke officials appealed the decision and the conference executive committee temporarily suspend ed Weaver's ruling until they can gather more detailed infor mation concerning the incident leading to the suspensions. It is hoped the committee can meet this afternoon. Normally, Weaver's decision would stand, irregardless of an appeal. The executive commit tee's actions in this case are very unusual. Heyman played in last night's Duke-Wake For est game. Carolina meets North Caro lina State in Chapel Hill to night, but it is not known whether or not Brown and Walsh, will be permitted to par ticipate. Walsh, Brown and Heyman were all involved in the fight in the Duke-Carolina basketball game held in Durham, Febru ary 4. This touched off a near riot in which spectators, play ers . and police entered. Commissioner Weaver took one week to study the case be fore passing any ruling. The suspensions were stated as fol lows: . "Larry Brown of Carolina, Art Heyman of Duke and Don Walsh of Carolina were by. their actions in this particu lar game in violation of Ar ticle XIV. Section 9 of the Atlantic Coast Conference By-Laws. !The" penally for this vio lation is that the above named student athletes are as of this dale, February 13, 1961, declared ineligible to compete against other Allan lie Coast Conference teams for the remainder of the regu lar season 1960-61. (This rul ing does not apply to tourna ment play.)" If the decision stands, Brown and Walsh will not, after the decision has been passed upon, play in any of the remaining five games the Carolina team is scheduled to play. All of the Tar Heels games from here on out are against conference foes "According to the phraseology of the ruling, Heyman will be permitted to play in two of the remaining four Duke games. The Blue Devils play out-of-conference opponents Navy on Saturday at Annapolis, Md. and Seton Hall in New York City on February 23. North Carolina did not ap peal the decision. In a telegram to ACC Commissioner Weaver, Chancellor William B. Aycock said, "The University of North -Carolina accepts your rulings as stated. . . . Therefore, no ap peal will be filed." When asked to comment on the decision, North Carolina Athletic Director C. P. "Chuck" Erickson said: "I regret this whole thing occurred. The chan cellor has decided to accept the ruling as made." Erickson continued, "While these things happen, and they have happened in the past, I hope they won't occur in the future." Neither head basketball Coach Frank McGuire nor any of his players had any comment.
