Carolina Caravan
'Old-Champ
Of Great Cage Spor
tsmanship
by Jake Wade
Many little stories were told
about Carolina's ; Southern cham
pion basketball teams of the
twenties when the "Old Champs"
held ah enthusiastic reunion heje
the other night. " ;
Teammates recalled one of the
finals games in the Atlanta tour
nament in which all but four of
the Alabama players fouled out.
Acting Captain v Cartwright Car
michael of the Tar Heels in an
extraordinary gesture of , sports
manship insisted that the last one
to foul out "be permitted to play
so that Alabama could field a
complete ; lineup.;'-; : '
Then" there 'was the regular
season game between Virginia
and North Carolina. A Virginia
player committed a foul as the
game ended. There was some dis
cussion as to whether the Tar
Heels were entitled to a free
throw. The referee ruled that
they were. -
Superior Sportsmanship .
The same Cartwright Carmi-
chael rose on the occasion to
another peak of superior-sportsmanship.
Handed the ball to make
the free throw, he purposely let
it fly without aim against the
backboard, far from the mesh.
The crowd loved it.
Some modern, hearing the tales,
remarked that in this era of so
called high pressure college
athletics, no players would be that
sporting. Cartwright's eyes twi
nkled." "Shucks, man," he said,
"we were so far ahead in that
Alabama game, I .knew .they could
never catch up. " And that little
old point in the Virginia game
-didn't hurt us any."
Attendance Amazing
CHAMPS CHATTER ! The
'Old Champs" had a big time .
The attendance was amazing, al
most one hundred per cent . .

University of North -Carolina
Tuesday in Chapel: Hill,, stands
up with the best in the confer
ence. , . .. ,
Guard Don Cox, who ranked
seventh in the nation in average
assists per game last year," is "set
ting another hot pace for South
Carolina's Gamecocks this season.
Cox was credited with 76 during
his first 16 games, averaging near
ly five per game. - "
Johnny Peterson, center from
Elkhart, Ind., led the South Caro
lina Gamecocks in shotting accur
acy through the first 16 games,
hitting 81 of 192 attempts for
42.1 per cent.
- Pruning of fruit trees should
be completed before growth
starts in the spring. :
Only, three old players were un
able 'to attend and thev wrote
letters of regrets, and so' did the
missing coach, Norman Shepard
. . . Three sets of brothers were on
hand, the McDonald's from Char
lotte, Lineburgers from Belmont
and Carmichaels from Durham
and Chapel Hill .. ... And while
Norman Shepard coaching at Har
vard, could not' be present, two
other Shepard brothers . . . Car
ry ie and "Bo" were special guests
at the reunion festivities . . .
Carlyle played on Carolina teams
just before the championship
run and "Bo" coached a later day
championship team. . :
T'JippyV Joke
THIS AND THAT! Big Four
basketball games here are draw
ing better this season, despite
the .Tar Heels' recent skidding,
than in several years, . . . The
"Old Champs" reunion probably
boosted the Duke game atten
dance . .. The Tar Heels have a
brand new set of uniforms, to be
christened shortly, and Coach
Tom- Scott hopes they "will change
his team's luck ... Carolina re
serve center "Jippy" Carter,
noted for his antics, had his
little joke the other afternoon . .
Coaches told the players in a
practice session to stand where
they usually were stationed, and
flip at the basket . . . "Jippy"
went all the way over to the
bench and threw for the goal .". .
Incidentally, it dropped in.
Snavely's Letter
"T" TAPE! Just in case there
are some in the audience who still
are unconvinced that Coach Carl
Snavely really will break away
from the single wing and intro
duce the IT" next fall, let us
point" out that he has written his
prospective candidates to get
ready for the big change-over . . .
The Snavely communiques to his
squad are getting longer as spring
practice approaches . . . His
shortest on record was mailed
during the holidays and consisted
of 40 words, ' to wit: Dear Tar
Heel: Just a note to wish you a
Merry Christmas and .a Happy
New Year. And don't forget this
you "are" going" to play on a cjood
football - team' and" enjoy a far
happier football season in 1952."
. . V He's not with our school,
but everyone in this village who
knows ! him was mighty" happy
when Bill Gricer Chapel Hill
high school coach, recently was
named by the Jaycees "Man of
the Year" in Chapel Hill . . .
Charlie Justice was- accorded the
honor two years ago.

"breather" here tomorrow night
when it plays The Citadel, a
team which' is in dead last, place
with no victories in nine starts.
The Tar Heels ; opened - the
season against the Bulldogs and
coasted to an easy 87-69 victory.
In that game Vince Grimaldi
scored 30 points and continued
at that pace for the next week
or so, but has dropped off con
siderably since.
Jack Wallace got 18 that night
and Howard Deasy got another
12 points. Al Lifson, the leader
in scoring for Carolina at present,
was playing behind Grimaldi and
gotonly one point.
Coach Bunzy ' O'Neil of the
Bulldogs has been disappointed in
the showing of his team this year.
Before the season" he predicted
that the team would improve
of last year's .6-11 record and
possibly break -even in 2B ames.
The burden of the offense falls
on center Jim Cathcart, a six
foot, three inch freshman Jbrom
Chatam, N. J. Cathcart scored 16
points against Carolina and was
the only player for The Citadel
that gave the Tar Heels - much
trouble.
Other starters for The Citadel
are forwards Dick Zelinski and
Teddy Weeks, and guards Buddy
Seegars and Robert Fisher. Fisher
is a promising freshman from
Bayonne, N. J. who scored 10
points against Carolina .
Al Lifson, ' Carolina's cool
freshman ace from Elizabeth, N. T.,
continued . his good work last
week to remain on top of the
Carolina scoring race.
Lifson has scored 272 points in
the Tar Heels' 19 contests for an
average of better than 14 points
a game. In games in which he
has been a starter the yearling
star has hit for "an average of 18
points a contest.
Trailing Lifson is Vince Grim
aldi (241), -Jack Wallace (229)
and Captain Howard Deasy (144).
Paul Likins, freshman center from
Elkhart, Ind., has moved his
total over the century mark to
108 points. . .
Bob Phillips, Jippy Carter,
Ernie Schwarz, Cooper Taylor
and Tom Gaines also turned in
good performances against the
Blue Devils. Carter, ' showing
steady improvement, is helping
the Tar Heel cause at the pivot
position. Phillips, .
Gymnast Jerry Dorn, who cut and AAU champions
his eye and bruised his hip in
practice Tuesday, may not be able
to perform on the high bar, but
otherwise the Carolina gymnas
tics team will be in top shape
when it meets Duke tonight at
7:30 o'clock in Woollen Gym.
83-29.
Coach Bill Meade said that he
expects Dorn, a senior from Sal
uda, S. C, to be able to compete
in, the rope climb. .
The Tar Heels are still seeking
their first win of the season. They
have met three of the finest gym
nastic teams in the country so far
this-year. West Point's Cadets der
feated Carolina, 69-40, and Penn
State won - over Carolina by a
score of 78-34. In the only home
meet 2,500 people watched Caro
lina f all to Florida State's NCAA
Coach Meade predicts that, "If
the boys'do their exercises as well
as they did up North, we ought
to win. The meet will be quite
close, though.
One of the top performances of
the evening is . expected from
Carolina's Charlie . Hartly who
set a new Southern record in the
rope climb against Florida State.
Captain R. S. White, Southern
trampole king, Check Goodin,
all-around performer, and fresh
man Gordon Hudson, should also
turn in some fine performance&
' ' . "
Duke's outstanding man is
Heckerd, who will give Carolina
strong competition on. the mats,
parallel bar, and side horse. The
Duke team, though; weaker than
last year, should be a good match
for the Tar Heels.
