TUESDAY, JANUARY 23,-1951
THE DAILY TAR HEEL
PAG2 Tim
Frankly
Speaking
By Frank Allsion. Jr.
Winning Basketball
- scctTon of ETBALL should ring State College and this
section of he country great prestige, but when the-visiting team
VIZ ?t 1 nCv atrCiOUS fficiatinS as was.LaSalle of Phil
the price. odiuroay night, we wonder if it's worth
hndUfor tt PPlG Chapel Hil1 nd. Carolina were on
f hn t HSamC SatUFday night and the almost universal opinion
f I( it w h"1 we spokft.was that the visitors had been robbed,
-o put. ;t. bluntly In fact there were probably very few people in
the Coliseum Saturaay night, with the exception of State support
ers whp dinotfeel that the wrong team had come out oV? the !
long end of the 76-74 score.
And what did LaSalle Coach Ken Loeffier have to say about
the contest? An Associated Press dispatch from Philadelphia Sun
day quoted the veteran mentor as terming the contest "the biggest
steal -since the Louisiana Purchase." v '
Loeffier went on to say that it was "the worst thing that has
happened to me in the 25 years of coaching. I guess everybody
will get the idea that I'm sore. They're absolutely right"
In our opinion, Coach Loeffier had every right to be sore.
Officials Not Above Reproach
WHEN COACHES AND NEWSPAPERMEN take to criticizing
officials for calls in which it js purely a matter involving the official's
judgment, then they are assuming a position which they really have
no right to assume. But when it is a matter of interpretation of
the rules, the officials are not above reproach.
This is not to say that' we were in complete agreement with
the rulings of Referees Dolan Hedrick and Ab Young in which
there was only a question of judgment. We weren't, but we don't
feel that the officials should be criticized for this. After all, they
are paid to go on the floor to officiate and SHOULD be in a much
better position to see the action than those of us in the stands or
the press box. - ...
On the question of rules interpretation, however, we violently
disagree with the officials, the State College "cheering section" and
Coach Ev Case.
But four technical fouls were called on LaSalle during, the
second half as the superior (in our opinion) Explorers saw a lead,
which at one . point had reached 14- points, vanish under' a hail
of boos from the State f ans and hail of fouls called by the officials.
Action of the State Fans
THE ACTION OF THE STATE STUDENTS who were in attend
ance at the contest also added to LaSalle's troubles. Not only did
the State fans cheer loudly every time Sammy Ranzino and his
cohorts moved the all legally, but booed, hissed and waved their
fists at the officials when they called the Agriculture School boys
for attempting to move it illegally.
Every time traveling, double dribbling or a like offense was
charged up against State, the reaction was something akin to that
of the average American after he heard what had happened at Pearl
Harbor.. Fouls charged against LaSalle, of course, brought approval
of the State assemblage. . .
To top it off, every time , LaSalle stepped up to the free throw
line, the State crowd would unleash" the boos and catcalls. The off i
, ciajs, however, refused to call technical fouls on State although the
rule book clearly allows for such a call against the home team when
the officials deem the action of the hometowners an impediment to
the progress of the game.
On Technical Fouls
ITS NOT HARD TO OVERCOME a big lead when there is a
parade to the foul line for free throws followed by possession of
the ball at mid-court. Twice technicals were called on LaSalle
players who raised their arms on personal fouls, but not quite
high enough to suit Officials Hedrick and Young.
On one occasion Case jumped off the bench, STEPPED ON THE
COURT and shook his fist at Hedrick. He was promptly waved back
to his seat. Yet, a few moments later Loeffier walked down the side
lines, NEVER STEPPING ON THE COURT, and spoke to Young who
was talking at the scorer's table. A technical foul was called on Loef
fier. While we realize the official had the right to call such a technical
oh Loeffier, why did he not call one on Case? Or is the exalted
Mr. Case, keeper of the Big Barn, immune to such arbitrary de
cisions by a mere referee.
The fourth and final technical was called on LaSalle Guard
Jimmy Phelan, who after making a driving lay-up shot, slapped at
the ball in the hands of a State player bringing it in bounds and
knocked it from his hands. The officials called a technical foul on
Phelan, presumably, to the fans and press box contingent, because
the ball was in possession of a man who was out of bounds.
Saturday night didn't mark the first time that a visiting team
has left the State campus with a sour taste in its mouth. The same
thing happened to the Eastern Kentucky team here in December.
Neither LaSalle nor Eastern plans to return.
And it probably wton't be the last time. Carolina fans can expect
to get a taste of the same medicine when the Tar Heels move into
Raleigh Saturday night.
You can't beat a seven-man team.
Tar Heel Five Ranks 11th
In
Conference
Stan
ings
By Ken Barton
The northern swing this past
weekend of the Carolina basket
ball team ended in near disaster
as the Tar Heels lost two straight
o George Washington and Mary
land. George Washington defeated
the Tar Heels, 76-71, while the
Terrapins edged by the slumping
visitors 56-55 in an overtime on
Saturday night at College Park.
The two defeats left the Tar
Heels with a 4-4 record in the
conference and dropped, them to
11th in the conference standings.
The overall record for the season
for Carolina is seven wins and 11
losses.
N. C. State leads the Southern
Conference with eight wins and
no losses and a 17 and 2 overall
record. Maryland with 5-1 and
Virginia Tech, 4-1, hold down the
second and third slots.
The other clubs in the loop
ahead of the Tar Heels in order
are: West Virginia, Duke. William
and Mary, Clemson, South Caro-j
lina, George Washington, and
Univ. of Richmond.
The lone shining star in the pic
ture over the weekend was the
scoring of Jack Wallace, Howard
Deasy, and Vince Grimaldi. All
three pushed over the 200 mark
for the season and placed among
the top eight places in the Big
Four scoring. Wallace leads the
team and placed 5th in the scor
ing with 220. Deasy, right behind
Wallace in 6th with 208,' and
Grimaldi (8th) with 200 are push
ing Wallace.
Carolina has nine games left in
season play all of which are con
ference games. They will have to
and George Washington.

Chances seem somewhat slim
with two games against N. C.

games will be with: Wake Forest,
South Carolina Citadel, Furman,

both games going the wrong way

game and at the time Grimaldi
