4The. Daily Tar HeelMonday, January 21, 1935 y Im- Redemption replaces frustration Dawkins CIS By KURT ROSENBERG Staff Writer The outcome had been decided minutes earlier. Another North Carol ina comeback simply was not to be. Similarly, it had become clear much earlier that Johnny Dawkins had done his part, that he had atoned for his sins ' in Duke's loss to Wake Forest Thursday night. Against Wake Forest, he scored just eight points, the first time in 52 games he failed to hit double figures. Against UNC Saturday, he had 24 points in the first 29 minutes. But it wasn't until 52 seconds remained that Dawkins decided it was time to savor his afternoon of redemp tion. To let 10,000 fans know of his satisfaction after having unleashed his frustrations against their team. Brad Daugherty missed a jump shot, the ball bounded into Dawkins' hands, and in an instant, he was gone. Daugh erty was back on defense, but it was a one-on-one contest he could not win. Dawkins drove down the left side and was fouled by Daugherty as he flew by him for a reverse layup. The score was 87-74. Then, in a moment of spontaneity, the sprightly Dawkins reversed his field and, still running, raised both index fingers to the silent crowd before returning to the free-throw line. It was an uncharacteristic display of boastfulness for Dawkins, who obviously has been well-educated in the ways of post-game diplomacy. After the game, won by Duke, 93 77, he was asked if this was his finest performance this season. "It was agood gamer he casually ans wered. "I don't if it was my best game or not." Regardless, it came exactly when it was needed the most.

And after the last loss, Dawkins considered himself partially responsible. "1 felt really bad about the Wake Forest game, that 1 let us down in a couple of situations," he said. "I felt I didn't play very smart. It just wasn't my night." But Saturday afternoon belonged to Dawkins. In the second half, he seemed intent on claiming exclusive rights to it. In general, it was Duke's intensity on defense and its domination of the boards that handed North Carolina its third loss of the season. In particular, it was Dawkins. When UNC used its normally impe netrable man-to-man defense, Dawkins often proved too quick for Steve Hale, generally considered the Tar Heels' best defensive player. When North Carolina tried to shut down the Blue Devils with a zone, Dawkins shut down North Carolina from the outside. In the second half, which started with the score tied at 39, Dawkins displayed the form that earned him a spot as an alternate on last summer's Olympic team and maybe even made some wonder why he was only an alternate. He hit two quick jump shots to put Duke up, 46-41, but Hale and Warren Martin, the latest deity in Carmichael Auditorium, were keeping things close. Dawkins made a ridiculous shot from deep in the right corner, well behind the backboard, that seemed to inject him with a measure of infallibility. If that shot could hit the bottom of the net, then in all likelihood, he could do no wrong. And even the inspired play of Martin, and the Tar Heels' penchant for second-half heroics could not stand 1 I 942-7178 FmiiBsiJiAi. nights.

"This was my night, Dawkins said. "I felt good. Our players were looking for me, and a lot of great things happened." After Martin brought UNC to within two at 51-49, Duke scored seven straight, five coming from Dawkins, who continually victimized the Tar Heels with his quickness on defense and longe-range jumpers. With 2:30 left in the game, Duke was up 10. Based on North Carolina's most recent games, it would have made sense to conclude that things were just getting interesting. Dawkins would have none of it. Again and again, the Tar Heels put him at the foul line. Dawkins simply put the game out of reach. He was placed in four one-and-one situations and made seven of the eight free throws. Eleven points in the last 2:25. Thirty-four for the game, 21 in the crucial second half. Plus four steals, four assists and eight rebounds for the 6-2, 165-pound guard, who played every minute of the game. "I expected that from Johnny," said his coach, Mike Krzyzewski. "He was the guy who was most disturbed about his play against Wake. Being the competitor he is, he just wanted to come back and play right away, and it really didn't matter where it was at. He just wanted to play." Certainly, the fact that Johnny Dawkins was two years old the last time Duke won a game in Carmichael Auditorium did not faze him on Saturday! In his last two games there, he has scored a total of 59 points. In 2xi seasons, Dawkins has moved into 10th place on Duke's list of career scoring leaders. Next year, he will be challenging the top three Mike Gminski, Gene Banks and Jim Spanarkel. But as Dawkins knows so well, it is this season that matters most now. and each game is a separate entity upon which he must focus all his attention. "I've just gotta take advantage of my opportunities," he said. "Some nights you make 'em, some nights you don't. You've gotta go with the flow." y x ) El 1 96 ELLIOTT RD at E.

Offensively, the Tar Heels struggled when Duke effectively cut off the lob pass to big men Daugherty and Warren Martin. The Blue Devils played their man-to-man for 40 minutes, producing 1 4 steals.

"They denied the lob. They've always denied the pass ever since coach (Mike) Krzyzewski has been there. We had to go to our hurry-up offense with eight minutes to go, and that's hard to do." UNC put Duke on the foul line for most of the last three minutes, but the Blue Devils converted often enough to deny a rally. "The key to the game was rebound ing," -UNC coach Dean Smith said. "Their quickness to rebounds was remarkable. At 51-49 we had four good shots and didn't make them. That's when Dawkins hit a couple of long ones from the corner. I was really impressed with Dawkins." Duke, which does not have a true center, but plays 6-8 Jay Bilas at the position, matched up well against the taller Tar" Heels. Bilas contributed 17 points and 11 rebounds while forward Mark Alarie, who scored Duke's first six points, finished with 19 points and five rebounds. Those figures compare to Daugherty's 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Martin's 16 points and 10 rebounds. Krzyzewski said the key to control ling UNC's transition game was to deny the inside moves. "In the second half we made sure we were making the adjustment of staying between the ball and their post man while putting very good pressure on the ball-handler," he said. "It worked out well for us." Kenny Smith, who had 1 0 assists, said the Tar Heels simply were not patient. "It seemed like as we passed more around them, their defense relaxed," Smith said. "If we could have passed a little more, we might have gotten better shots." Guard Steve Hale said the loss was frustrating in the sense that UNC was often forcing its own mistakes. "Every time we started to make a comeback, we'd have a turnover or miss an easy shot," Hale said. "Those are errors you just can't do against Duke." The loss drops UNC to 13-3 overall, 4-1 in the ACC. Duke, which dropped a pair of two-pointers last week, moves to 3-2 in the ACC, and 13-2 overall. Maryland Wake Forest Duke Clemson N C.
