FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1S51 THE DAX TAR fHEEIi "S'i 1 S 8 ! High- 0)C Chosen D TO 4f W 1 U 11 Va ;v:::::;::::::::x;:::::::: FORWARD JACK WALLACE PLAYED the best game of all the men in the Carolina-Duke game Wednesday night in Coach Tom Scoll's opinion. Wallace, the Tar Heel high scorer last year, oi 12 points in the first 10 minutes of play, and enabled Carolina to take a 17-16 lead at the end of the first period. "Wallace Was Best" by Ed Starnes Vince Grimaldi, the 6-foot junior forward from Philadel phia was a unanimous choice as the 22nd Daily Tar Heel Athlete of the Week yesterday. Grimaldi won the award for his scoring in the three Caro lina basketball games this past week;; He was followed in' the balloting ' by forward Jack Wallace, and guard Howard Deasy. . In the season opener against The Citadel, Grimaldi pushed in 30 points to lead both teams f in the scoring columns. He hit for 24 points against .Furman as the Tar Heels romped to their decisive 100-57 victory. Against Duke Wednesday night he pumped nine points through the cords. Vince's 21 -point average makes him one of the top scor ers in the nation. He fell off badly in the Duke game, but played one of the top floor games and was largely respon sible for holding All-America Dick Groat to one field goal in the first half. .. .. i'rr ft ifi$! n fb 17 R A ff ere jy uu ee We Dldnt Do As Well As We Could Have Done Says Scott ... b.y Ed Starnes 'We played a good team against Duke, but we didn't do as well as we could have done," said coach Tom Scott, in a review of Wednesday night's 77-59 loss to Duke. "We can and have played better ball. We weren't getting the ball in the middle to the post, forcing us to shoot from outside. And we couldn't hit from outside," Scott said. "Wallace played a good game. He was the best boy on thefkxr in my opinion." Wallace was very hot at the first of the game, scor?ng 12 points in the first 10 minutes. Then he fell off, n6Y getting another point for 26 minutes. Grimaldi and Wallace on Gro&i The Tar Heels ued a man-to-man defense against the Blue Devils. Vince Grimaldi end Wallace split -assignments on Groat, each man taking him when Groat was on his side. "Vince took over by himself in the second quarter," Scott aid, "and did a fine job. Groat scored only one basket against lim before Vince fouled out." Groat did most of his scoring after Grimaldi left the game and Bob Philips tocc over the defensive job. Speaking about the Blue Devils, Scott said, 'UUKe nas an outstanding ball club. That Troy Janicki is good, and so is D'Kmilio." (Janicki got 16 points, and D'Emilio got 12). - The team has a lot of hustle, ' and they have some fine players to go with Groat, giving them jnorc scoring power." There are four games com ing up during the Christmas holidays and Scott is looking foi-waid to them. "Illinois and Bradley have good teams. I don't know if we are in their league, but it will - help us against some of thegood teams later in the season. Southern Cal is an Unknown "Southern California is one ; team we don't know much about. (Carolina plays Sou.CaL Mmp of the Dixie m. mm VINCE GRIMALDI Wallace, the 200-pound, 64" junior from Elkin, W. Va., has scored 53 points this season to remain close behind Grimaldi in he scoring race. His best was against Furman when h scored 21 points. Jack was high man for Car olina against Duke with 14 points and his 12 points in the iirst quarter carried the Taf . Heels to a 17-16 lead. When ' Wallace slowed down-the en- . tire team fell off and Duke took a substantial, lead which they never lost. . ; - Deasy has been doubly vali able, not only for his scoring, but his outstanding rebound work. The senior captain from New York was one of the na 1 , tional leaders in rebound sta- tistics last season, and is off to . a fine start again this year. His i 31 points in 3 games give him a 10-point per game average J Deasy was hit on the brow against Furman and three stitches were takfen, but it didn't slow the Tar Heel eap: tain down. His play against the Blue Devils was very aggres sive and his work off th backboards was outstanding. Classic) They tied for the title in the Southern Division of the Pacific Coast Conference, last year. They play Oklahoma A&M twice, and Kansas Uni versity once, on their way East, so we can get a. line on them." The Southern California cagers won 21, and lost 6 last year. They split two season games with UCLA and lost the title in a post-season playoff. The Trojans lost both guards from last year's fine team, but still have two 6 6" centers in Bob Boyd and Jerry Pease. Also ; returning are forwards Ken Fowler and Don Elby. Illinois was one of the na tion's top learns last year with a 22-5 record. They won the tough Big Ten Conference title with an outstanding 13-1 record, their only loss coming at the hands of Indiana who finished second in the race. Illini lost only Sunderlage The only man the Illini lost was captain Don Sunderlage, and they still have such boys as Clive Follmer, Bob Peterson, and Max Hooper, a highly re garded sophomore. Bradley was the number two team in the' nation last year. The school's basketball team 1 1 It. .-v -v-v-k 4- was rocKea Dy me icvcih basketball scandals, which centered for a short time around Bradley and its All America guard Gene Melchi- ' orre. The team's 32-6 record was tainted by these "Fixes" and the graduation of the entire starting team leaves this year's squad a big question mark. .DIXIE CLASSIC TICKETS TiVnt for the Dixie Classic basketball tournament, which will u ninvpd in Raleigh, Dec. nre on sale at the ticket office in ntjvnvniii ffvmu V UUV" KJ . pniina will olav Southern Cal tJ.v." - . . .1 A and is in tne in uc liii. wv..-... i,rsirVnt - with State aryi fllavy.
