THE DAILY TAR HEEL
Pasre 5
LiZ
Various claims and counter-claims have been kick
ed around concerning North Carolina's disputed loss to
Virginia in Charlottesville on January 15.
The dispute came when the buzzer sounding the end
of the game failed to go off-reportedly allowing a few
extra seconds of play.
Virginia's Buddy Reams flipped in a shot in those
final disputed seconds to hand the Cavaliers a 70-69
victory.
Of course the big controversy is did Reams score
the winning basket after the game was over?
Sports writer Bill Rollins, who covered the game for
the DTH, believes that shot did come after the game
should have been over.
On February 2, Bill expressed his views in a story
entitled "Neat Clockwork, Man."
Well, to put matters mildly, his story had quite
critical readership among members of The Cavalier
Daily the student newspaper at the University of
Virginia.
Staff members Alan Friedberg and Dick Dyas ex
pressed their opinions in a letter to the DTH yesterday.
Here are their comments:
"We feel that the article in the February 2 Daily
Tar Heel deserves some second thought on your part
and perhaps the recognition that it was a poor perform
ance for a newspaper of the DTH's caliber.
"We want to begin by admitting that we heard no
buzzer sound, and that the winning shot for Virginia
may or may not have been scored after time ran out.
Whatever the case, it must be agreed that the officials
had no choice other than to decide as they did. No
amount of physiological and sociological study could
prove conclusively that time had or had not run out.
. . . Virginia-Carolina games are usually closer than
the experts predict and it's a shame this one ended
as it did."
The letter contains more including a short, con
cise appraisal of DTH sports policy: "That article was
the weakest example of newswriting and sportmanship
we've seen in a long while."
This is the summary they offered: "Yes, Virginia
fans were happy to have won. If you were watching
the clock, you (Bill Rollins) were a minority of one.
What do you want us to do, give you the game? If
Virginia fans knew as certainly as you do that the shot
came too late, they undoubtedly would."
On the brighter side of the mail-bag picture comes
a non-prose rebuttal from Duke University.
If you will recall, we ran an original poem (by
Shakefellow and Longspeare) which summarized cer
tain of the Duke basketball players and offered a pre
diction of the outcome.
Of course the game is history but Blue Devil fans
are a hearty lot.
Frank Manola and Cam Penfield with "deepest
sympathies:
"Bobby Verga really hit
He gave the Tar Heels quite a fit
Up and down, just like a streak
He made the press look really weak.
"Poor" Jack Marin had quite a day
The Tar Heel offense didn't pay
Lewis' score was held down low
Which filled the Tar Heels full of woe.
"Bib" Mike Lewis, the mountain man,
Grabbed those rebounds with either hand
They groped for every ball in vain
With Big Mike standing in the lane.
They meet the captain of our team
Steve's play was enough to make them scream
There team was looking everywhere
But the Win they sought just wasn't there.
Bob Riedy played some real good ball
And to Carolina he looked twice as tall
They jumped and jumped to no avail
As against our team they were bound to fail.
The rematch should be lots of fun
We've got the Tar Heels on the run
And all will know at the final gun
Why our team is number one !"

Ready For Season
By JIMMY FIELDS
DTH Sports Writer
The University of North
Carolina Lacrosse team is
only beginning its third year
this spring, but Coach Connie
Steele believes that this year's
team will rank among the top
ten in the nation.
Three years ago, when la
crosse first became a major
sport here, the team won only
one game. They improved
their record last year to five
wins and two loses and finish
ed 19th in the nation among
the colleges that recognize la
crosse as a major sport.
This year's team will be
lead by All-American candi
dates Jeff Parker and Har
vey Stanley, the teams co
captains. Parker was a third
team All-American last year,
and Coach Steele regards him
as one of the finest players
in this area.
"Stanley was one of a rash
of fine goalies in the country
last year," said Coach Steele.
"But I believe this year he
could well be the best."
Jake Hubbard and Sandy
Reider are two more players
Coach Steele sighted. "Both
boys are real fine players, and
I expect quite a bit from them
on attack this year," he said.
Coach Steele said that even
though several valuable play
ers from last year's team
graduated, that he still be
lieves they will have an out
standing season because of
the added depth the team now
has.
"We don't have any real
outstanding players up from
last year's freshman team,"
he said, "but we do have a
whole rash of real fine play
ers from it that will add a lot
of depth to the team."
This year's team will play
a real tough schedule. Five
.How
By BILL ROLLINS
DTH Sports Writer
The Tar Babies became fa
miliarized with the hazards of
playing a good team in a
small gym with a frenzied
mob of students screaming in
opposition last Tuesday night.
They ventured to Johnston
Gym on the campus of David- .
son College and very nearly
had their unbeaten status
wiped out.
They hung on in the face of
team-wide foul difficulty, the
thunderous roaring of the
Wildcat frosh partisans, and
some almost unbelievable out
side shooting by a much-improved
Davidson five to pre
vent the "Wildcatastrophe"
from becoming a reality. And
it is a credit to their first-time-tested
mettle that they
were able to escape with an
80-76 win.
The following is a chrono
logical highlights recap of the
struggle. Tomorrow there will
be an analysis.
Joe Brown got the game's
first basket on an eight-foot
jumper at 18:58, but Cross
white hit from the left corner
to tie it at 2-2. After Clark's
tap-in, Moser connected to put
Davidson into its first lead,
54, at 17:09.
Tuttle scored a free throw
and Grubar drove the lane for
a 7-5 UNC lead, but three
Davidson foul shots pushed
it back on top, 8-7, at 15:33.
Bunting and Clark scored
for UNC to knot it at 11-all.
Then Grubar connected and
fed Tuttle on a beautiful fast
break for a 17-13 Tar Baby
lead at 12:04. Baskets from
outside by Spann and O'Neill
tied it, but UNC reeled off
seven straight points, four by
Clark, to assume its biggest
lead of the night at 24-17 with
7:48 left in the half.
Bill and Rusty did it again
for UNC, but Davidson rallied
to a 28-27 deficit with 3:56 left.
Bostick then hit from the
right corner for 30-27, but
O'Neill and Moser hit 20-foot-ers
and Huckel canned a free
throw for a 32-30 Wildcat leat
at 2:54.
Bunting hit from the left
sideline and Moser tallied
again for Davidson, and then
Clark picked up a three-point
play for a 35-34 UNC lead at
1:29.
Dodson stole the ball and
laid it in for 37-34, and after
two Huckel free throws.
Brown hit from the left cor
ner for 39-36 at 0:36. Dickens

Team Is
of the eight teams they play
this season are ranked high
er than we were last year, and
games promise to be with
Maryland and Virginia.
Maryland was rated third
in the nation last year while
Virginia was sixth. Both
teams beat the Tar Heels last
year, but Coach Steele feels
that this year's team is capa
ble of turning the score
around.
Coach Steele had the follow
ing remark to make about
this year's schedule: "Every
game we play this year is go
ing to be close. We could go
all the way and win or lose
them all. It just depends on
how the ball bounces, and how
good a job we can do be
tween now and then."
The team opens its 1966
schedule against Yale here on
March 21. All home games
will begin at 3 p.m. with the
exception of the Dennison
game which will begin at 2
o'clock.
The games will be played
on Navy Field with the ex
ception of the Virginia game
and that will be played in
Kenan Stadium.

Halftime: UNC - 39, David

Brown hit from the top of

exchanged two - pointers for
six or seven possessions, with
Bunting getting eight points
and Grubar four to hold the

NEW YORK New York Uni
versity hit ten-of-12 free throws
in the closing minutes to knock
off a North Carolina rallv and
beat the Tar Heels 83-78 last
night in Madison Square Gar
den. The Violets hit a spurt in
which they outscored the Sou
thern visitors by 15-2 midway
through the first half, and held
up under repeated rallies to
deal UNC its seventh loss in 19
games.
The New Yorkers, man-for-man,
were a smaller team, but
throughout the game they dom
inated the Tar Heels' offensive
board, while moving up on
theirs for several key tip-ins.
Bobby Lewis made a sensa
tional Garden debut, leading all
point-makers with 34 tallies. In
fact, he was all the Tar Heels
had to white home about in the
early going.
Maneuvering and hitting as
only he can, Lewis hit three
field goals and four free throws
to move his team into a 10-5
lead before the Violets could
get untracked.
But when Coach Lou Rossi
ni's boys did turn it on, they
raced to a 15-2 domination
which pushed the Tar Heels in
to a 20-12 hole, out of which
they could never quite climb.
Lewis scored Carolina's first
12 points. Bob Bennett hit a
couple of foul shots at 9:12
which made it 14-20, and when
the Stick made a follow shot at
6:08, it was the first Tar Heel
field goal not counted by Lew
is. The Tar Heels pulled to with
in 26-28. But here, the Violets
Duke Loses Rating
As 'Number One9

Tuesday was a gloomy day
for our neighbor, Duke Uni
versity. Not only did they
lose their number one rank
ing which they had for eight
straight weeks, but also Duke
suffered its second loss of the
year to West Virginia 94-90.
The Blue Devils had al
ready lost their ranking be
fore they took the court
against an improved West Vir-.
ginia team coached by Bucky
Waters who was Vic Bubas's
assistant last year.
Duke's idleness and Ken
tucky's continued winning
swung the vote.
Adolph Riipp's Kentucky
Wildcats captured 20 first
place ballots and 314 points
opposed to 12 first place bal
lots and 304 points for the Blue
Devils in the Associated Press
poll.
Kentucky is undefeated in
18 games while Duke now
stands 15-2.

ran off 10 straight points, and
UNC trailed by 38-28 at half
time. Larry Miller went to work at
the start of the second period,
as he hit three goals, Bennett
got a couple, and Lewis threw
in three points to pull their
team to 41-44.
Carolina stayed close to
NYU, a drive by Lewis cutting
the deficit to 51-55 with just
over ten minutes to play.
But when Lewis hit a three
point play to make it 58-61, the
Violets made their move to put
the Tar Heels out of it.
Dick Kaplan, who shared the
NYU scoring lead with Stan
MacKenzie with 21 points, scor
ed, and Mai Graham converted
a three-point play to move out
to a 66-58 lead, at 6:03.
UNC called a time out with
4:53 left, NYU in a 68-62 lead
and stalling, but the Violets
promptly got a free throw, and
then Richie Dyer stole the ball
and hit a lay-up for a 71-62 New
York lead.
Carolina, despite three bask
ets by Lewis, and a long one
each by Gauntlett and Miller,
couldn't catch the Yankees as
they parade to the free-throw
line as the result of Carolina
pressing tactics, and converted
10-of-12 times to hold the lead.
UNC was down by 83-72 w hen
Miller and Jim Smithwick
(twice) hit buckets to make
the final margin respectable.
Miller finished with 16, Ben
nett had 10, Gauntlett 8, and
Yokley 4. UNC shot 45.6 per
cent from the floor and hit 16-19
at the line, while NYU hit for
48.3 from the field and canned
25-30 foul shot attempts.
How will this affect Duke
which leads the Atlantic Coast
Conference race?
In an interview with John
Wallace, sports editor of the
Duke University newspaper
yesterday, he said. 4The team
is unhappy about losing the
number one ranking.
"However this should make
them work harder and realize
that they can still improve for
