THURSDAY, JANUAHY 31, 1952 THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE F1V C3 hakes I hem SOnii 4 1 4 4 Blue Devils Block Way To Tourney by Bill Peacock The Carolina basketball team, which faces the possibility of be ing shut out . of the -conference tournament for the second straight year, gets no relief tomorrow night when it faces a Duke team which Coach Tom Scott says is "hotter than State." r The Tar Heels, who have lost three straight conference games, including a five point overtime loss to State, are in no position to play a team that is hotter than the champion Wolfpack. Carolina now holds a 6-4 record and must win at least five of its remain ing nine conference games to make the March 7-8 tourney. "Duke's got a real egood team," said Scott yesterday. "Everybody knows how good Dick Groat is, but they have three good men Groat, Bernie Janicki, and Rudy D'Emilio. And Dick Johnson, (the substitute guard) is a good play er. They're fast and will run around you and make the basket." "We Have io Improve" "We'll have to improve to beat them," Scott continued. After Car olina's surprising 55-46 loss to Wake Forest, the Tar Heels won't work on anything in particular, "just holding on to the ball. We don't have time to re-learn now," said Scott, "the games cpme too quick and fast." Against Wake Forest Carolina was outshot from the floor, by the Deacons, 32 to 21 per cent. After trailing 22-35 at the half, Scott benched center Paul Likins and started Ernie Schwarz as the Tar Heels went into a full court press. The Tar Heels matched the Deac ons, 14-14, in the third period, and outscored them by four points in the fourth period, but it was not enough. " Scott explained that he bench ed Likins for Schwarz and later Carter to gej; additional speed in to the lineup, but that Likins will start against Duke in order to make full use of Carolina's height advantage. "We Were Flat" - "The boys were 'a little flat af ter losing to State, but we'll have to be at our best to beat Duke," Scott said. "Duke will always be up for us." . Carolina has played Duke once, losing, 77-59, in the Gerry Ger ard game which did not count in the -conference' standings. "We just went out and played that one," commented Scott. "We'll try to have something to make the score a little closer this time." Following the Duke game, Car olina plays West Virginia Wed nesday in Morgantown.

Groat is averaging better than 24 points per game, exceeding his average of last year when he set a record for the number of points scored in one year. He was "held" to 16 points by Carolina in Ike last game with Duke, but he's always given a great exhibition in Woollen Gym. to the Blue Devils and the Moun taineers, they will return home with a 6-6 record to play The Citadel Friday and Furman Sat urday. The game with West Virginia will be awfully tough for Carolina to win. West Virginia has lost only one game this year (in ah overtime to George Washington) and no West Virginia teams lose often at home. The Mountaineers are rated 11th in the nation and have one of the finest scorers in the nation in center Mark Work man. .Sotiile Injured An indication of their strength came when forward Frank Sot tile, the team's second high scorer, was injured and replaced by Joe Shockely, a regular last year. This Mountaineer team is young and is being compared to the Cin derella team which won the NCAA title in 1244. The game with The Citadel should not be difficult, but Fur man poses a problem. Since the Pallidins defeated Duke early in the season they have improved and led by high scoring Frank Selvy, they are virtually assured of a place in the tournament, while Carolina will be playing under quite a bit of pressure. South Carolina, with its great forward, Dwane Morrison, will be here February 12, and the Tar Heels cannot afford -to have an off night against the Gamecocks. Anvthinc less than a good per- formance will mean a " T- , . i . loss tnai would probably put Carolina out of the tournament. - TON if E AT THE IE BASKET L IL E ,JI" CZJ. A c A. JV Cagers Play Eloleegh Tonighf- The Carolina junior varsity bas ketball team, which walloped Wake Forest, 72-48, Tuesday, travels to Raleigh tonight for a game with Raleigh High at 8 p.m. . The Jayvees, coached by Earl Ruth, have defeated Raleigh, 62 52, in an earlier game. However, the Tar Heels had to come from behind in the fourth period to win that one and this game prom ises to be closer on Raleigh's home court. The top man for Raleigh High is forward Carl Hayes,, who is averaging better than 0 points per game this" year and made 20 against Carolina.. The Tar .Heels are led by for wards Floyd Propst and Chuck Ellenwobd. Ellenwood got 10 points and" Propst got 15 against the Deacons.- Other "top " scorers for the jayvees are Joe. Moser, Buell Joe Mosier, Beull Mosier, Skipy Winstead, and John Dittmar. l KM " f- KUJStiO UUI-iiliib S.?. I f - - :0::::&!:::;::S.::,:v., i v.- VyjlT XL 9 , V mmmmmm MEET SYLVANUS!

He was "Monk" McDonald then, a mite of a man of J.48 pounds, but all muscle. He earned 12 monograms in three sports basketball, football and baseball. He was an All-South Atlantic quarterback in football, All Southern guard in basketball and All-State shortstop in baseball Captain In 1923 "Monk played on the state championship, team of 1921v and the Southern championship teams of 1922 and i924. He then coached the 1925 Southern champions while a medical student here. He was captain of the 1923 South Atlantic champions. He was an expert dribbler, passer, floorman and playmaker. Cartwright Carmichael was the most graceful and best shooter on the 1922 Southern champions, when his brother; Billy, "Monk", Wintoh Green and Curtis (Sis) Perry rounded out the starting lineup. Perry, now business mana ger of the Durham Bulls, was the tall man on that team. He was nicknamed "Uncle Bim", after the comic strip character, when he played in the Dixie Tourna ment at Atlanta.

Highlights of these four sea sons were the Dixie Tournaments m Atlanta wnen tne titles were decided. Morgan Blake was sports editor of the Atlanta Jour nal and Ed Danforth, who now holds that position, then was head of the old Georgian's sports' staff. The Tar Heels were the fair -haired boys in their columns and they wrote many intimate notes about them. I'm guessing that it was the Atlanta writem who first called tournaments "tourneys" and I recall, as 'a stu dent journalist here, that the Tar Heels got a charge out of that.
