PAGE . TTI3 DAILY TAR HEEI. TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1952 C Battles Tough Deacs On Thursday by Bill Peacock The Carolina basketball team, which is currently sharing first - place in the conference race with State and South Carolina, has only one game this week, but it is with dangerous Wake Forest and is, played on the Deacons' home floor. 3- The Tar Heels, whose 65-59 victory over Clemson here, Satur day gave them a perfect confer ence record of five wins and no losses, . will have to be at their best to defeat Wake Forest. A Carolina loss would leave State (5-0) and South Carolina (2-0) as the only undefeated teams in the conference. Tonight Carolina will become the co-holder of the conference lead because State and South Carolina play, in Charlotte. The Wolf pack, ; present conference champions, will be a heavy favor ite to win. Deacs "Are inexperienced The Deacons have an inexperi enced team dependent largely on freshmen and; sophomores, but they are very tough in the cramp ed confines of Gore Gymnasium They have not done well on the road (their last game was an 80-' 61 pasting by Georgetown in r Washington, D. C.) but they have given. State and Duke " close shaves at home. ' West Virginia, led by All-. America center Mark Workman, is looming larger each day as the team that State must win to keep the title. In their last two starts, the Mountaineers have blasted undefeated NYU, 100-75, and highly-rated Niagara, 74-71. Against Niagara Workman scored 36 points. Conference fans will get a line on William and Mary (1-2) Sat urday when the Indians play State in Raleigh. Ex-coach Bar ney Wilson said before the season that he expected to have one of the finest teams in the school's history.

' A 6 foot 2 inch, 185 pounder from Elizabeth, N. J., Lifson has been one of the big men in Carolina's steady climb to the top of the conference race. The Man To Waich Lifson was branded as a boy to watch when he went on his scoring spree in the Dixie Classic, leading the Tar Heels to a surprise third place finish. He scored 46 points in three games. In his . last two outings ; he was high - scorer against Mary land with 14 points, and tied .jC:-.V. sy. .w mmmm :":";':::::::::::X::::;'' liiiiiil Chi-2 vs Phi Tfan 5I9 7:00 p.m. Cburt No. 1-Chi Phi-1 vs Phi Gam-1; 2 Phi Kap Sig-3 vs Lamb Chi-2; 3 SAE-2 vs PiKA-1; 4 Zeta Psl-4 VS rK-R5 8:00 pan.

A real scrapper, Lifson gave Coach- Scott the needed fifth man for his fast moving attack, something the Tar Heels have been trussing since ; . Hugo Kappler was injured early last season. Second In Scoring At. present the youthful Lifson is second in the' Caro lina scoring with 147 points in 12 games for a 12.3 average. His 17 point output last Satur day night moved him ahead of Jack Wallace who used to hold the number two spot. Wallace took second place in the voting, beating out Howard Deasy by a single point. . Wallace led the Tar Heels last season as a sophomore, and is near the top this year. He has 145 points in the twelve games thus far. His real value to the team is shown in the' fact that he leads the squad in assists with 39 and is second in rebounds with 77. Wallace Improves The tall forward seems to have finally found his form of old as he scored 17 points against the Tigers. He played the entire game against Clem son. - (See LIFSON, page 5) ( IIe's not the handsomest bar fender in the world, but he' t generous with the Angostura."

To you as a student chemical engi neer, what does this statement bring to mind: Nearly two-thirds of Du Pont's cur rent sales are in products entirely " or virtually unknown in 1930. , Likely it suggests years of solving intriguing engineering problems, the designing of unique equipment, the carrying out of reactions under ex traordinary conditions. But it should also suggest the op portunities that will come to chemi cal engineers in the future. For at Du Pont, new and better products are continually being developed. From today's extended program of fundamental research you can expect more neoprenes, more nylons, more plastics like "Teflon" te'trafluoro ethylene resin. As these products come out of the laboratory, they will bring with them" a succession of interesting and chal lenging problems for the chemical engineer. Problems that will arise : out of their very newness. For instance, take nylon, the first ' P. , .rm..rilll..ft A. i.... w , , , ,.r. a. . ... - ,a. ,V. .

Peter-son,-B.S.Ch.E., Northeastern University '42. wholly synthetic organic fiber. In working out techniques for its com mercial manufacture, there was practically nothing to go on. The compounds of which it was made, hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid, were essentially laboratory chemicals. Processes had to be de vised to make them from cheap raw materials benzene, hydrogen, air and ammonia. Large-scale prepara tion of nylon salt from amine and acid required going beyond the clas sical unit operations. Here for the first time-it was pro- . posed to extrude a fiber with extreme accuracy from a melted polymer at j 290C. At this temperature the poly mer decomposes slowly. It had to be melted, pumped at 5000 p.s.i. pres- -sure through microscopic holes and! cooled in a hurry. Otherwise the fibej would emerge discolored. The Du Pont chemical and me chanical engineers' and other men and -women who worked with them ran into one difficulty af ter another. More than once they thought that the CHARGING experimental polymers to spinning machine: O. C. Wetmore, Ph.D.Phys.Ch.,New York U. '44; D. A. Smith, B.S.M.E., Purdue 40; and C. O. King, Sc.D.Ch.E., Michigan '43. project would have to be abandoned. However, it is basic in Du Pont people's philosophy not only to take on diflicult pioneering problems, but to see them through. With nylon, this persistence paid off handsomely! Is this the kind of problem you'd like to attack, the kind of people you'd like to work with? NEXT MONTH Opportunities for" chemical engineers in research and de velopment will be discussed in the sec ond article in this series. Watch for it!
