Irwin Smallwood, former Tar Heel sports editor and presently
3 sports writer for the Greensboro Daily News, dropped by Coach
Frank McGuire's office yesterday on his way home from Pittsburgh
and Lexington, which he had visited with a touring band of gypies
called the Wake Forest basketball team.
Irwin was full of news of his trip and enthusiasm for the Deac
ons, who had lost all three of the games they played on the road.
"vaKe would nave won if the boys hadn't
been so tired near the end of the game," reported
Smallwood on the 101-69 loss to Kentucky Mon
day night. .
"Nq, they wouldn't have," contradicted the
Carolina coach. "No one beats Kentucky on its
home court."
"112 good teams have tried and failed,"
agreed Smallwood, referring to Kentucky's un
beaten streak on its home floor. '
"Kentucky owns the court, it owns the ball,
and it owns the hoops," continued McGuire. "Alter
you win 112 straight at home you don't start los
ing a streak like that is a wonderful thins."
Irwin thought possibly Kentucky owned the referees, too.
"After the first half Wake Forest trailed by only four points and
two of those came just as the half ended," he said. "We remarked
that the referecing was very good, especially since Kentucky has a
reputation for home town refs. But the second half was an entirely
different story. The referees gave Kentucky every break, stepped
th pace of the game up to aid the Kentucky fast break, and called
jumps when I thought Wake Forest deserved the ball out of bounds.
'Right after the half ended Rupp ran out on the floor and
chewed the referees out then they choked up. Hemric heard Rupp
bawling them out, and the second half wasn't the same type of ball
game."
Upon mention of Dickie Hemric's name, the talk shifted to the
big Deacon center. He scored 28 points against the Wildcats to take
scoring honors and was outstanding in both the Deacon losses in the
Steel Bowl in Pittsburgh.
"There's no doubt about it in my mind, he's Ail-American,"
declared Smallwood.
"He's a fine ball player," said McGuire, a great ' admirer of
Hemric. "When Wake Forest wants a score it gives the ball to
Hemric. I'll tell you this: Wake Forest will never know how good
Hemric is until it loses him. Then it'll find out
"He'll beat you because he's big, tall, and strong. He's especially
good against a team like Kentucky that is liable to push you around
a lot. He can take it, and when he takes that big stride of his and
lays the ball in the basket you can't stop the shot.
"A coach will think, 'Beat Hemric and you beat Wake Forest,
and will two or three-man Hemric. Then someone else will start
making the baskets."
Smallwood was reminded of an incident that happened just as
the Wake Forest team was returning to the hotel lobby in Lexington
after the game. The crowd started booing, but a Deac player shut it
up by saying, "We sure got beat out there tonight, but we haven't
thrown one yet."
The talk shifted to the Big Four and especially Duke .since
Davidson Coach Danny Miller was there and had to face the Blue
Devils last night.
"They'll murder you on their home court," quoth McGuire. "The
crowd starts screaming for a hundred when the score nears 80, and
the pressure is terrific. Decker is my idea of a fine ball player, and
he is the eleventh man on the squad. Duke has height, and boy can
they shoot it's a great shooting team. When the second string
players go in -it's worse because they are fresh and are trying to
make a good impression."

Tar Hee
By Vardy Buckalew
Jerry Vayda, whose 22 points led
Coach Frank McGuire's basketball
Tar Heels to an 82-56 win over
South Carolina Saturday night, has
been named The Daily Tar Heel
Athlete of the Week.
The sophomore forward, who
was a regular for Carolina as a
freshman last year, has been out
standing in the Tar Heel's three
games to date both as a scorer and
as a rebounder under the back
boards. His 22 points Saturday
night was his highest single-game
total of the season so far.
In the opening game of the sea
son against McCrary, Vayda con
tributed 11 points toward the vic
tory and in the second game last
Friday against William and Mary
he scored 10. These combined to
give him a total of 43 points and
a 14 point average per game to
date.
Last season . Vayda came to
Chapel Hill along with new coach
McGuire, and gave an immediate
boost to the team. He scored 301
points over the course of the year
for an 11.1 average.
His most memorable basket of
the season last year was the one
scored in the final seconds of the
State game in the Coliseum which
gave the Tar Heeles a 70-69 vic
tory over their sister institution
the first since the ascendency to
the throne of King Everett Case
in Raleigh. By virtue of that bas
ket, Carolina also became the first
Southern Conference team to beat
State in their Coliseum.
Vayda is 19 years old, 6-4,
weighs 205, and hails from Bay
onne, N. J. He was an outstanding
high school player while playing
for St. Peter's prep in Bayonne and
was named to many all-star teams

Varsity, Freshman Swim Teams
Meet Duke, High Point Tonight
By John Hussey
Both the varsity and freshman
swimming teams will open their
home seasons here tonight in com
petition against Duke and High
Point High School squads. The
frosh meet will begin at seven and
the varsity at 8:30. It will be the
third meet of the season for the
varsity which already has two vic
tories under its belt due to wins
over Clemson and South Carolina.
Coach Ralph Casey will probably
shift his lineug considerably
against the Blue Devil mermen, in
order to give everyone experience
at different positions and on- dif
ferent races. The Tar Heels will
be heavy favorites to take their
third victory, not having lost to
Duke in a swim meet since 1939.
Not noly will the Carolina swim
mers be after their third win of
the year but they will also be out
to continue the dual meet streak
which Tar Heel teams have com
piled over the past five seasons.
Over this period, the teams under
the coaching of Dick Jamerson and
now Casey have not lost a dual
meet in 42 consecutive attempts.
This record js untouched by any
southern squad.
Coach Casey will call on Dick
Baker, pete Dannenbaum, Alex
Ray and Duke Widoff for duty in
the sprints. Widoff is the only
senior on the team and the other

NEW YORK, Dec. 15 -(IP)- Octo
ber 24, 1953. Michigan State's 7952
national football champions were
rolling alofi'g on a 28-game winning
streak, the nation's longest. Pur
due, fumbling and . inept at the
start of the season, had been beat
en four times. So they met on Pur
due's home field. Final score, Pur
due 6, Michigan State 0.
That was the most astounding of
the many upsets during the 1953
college football season in the opin
ion of the nation's sports writers
and broadcasters.
Out of 279 experts casting bal
lots in this section of the Associ
ated Press season-end poll, 143
picked Purdue-Michigan State as
the No. 1 upset. Fifty-nine others
listed this game second and 27
gave it a third place vote for a
total of 574 points on the usual
3-2-1 basis.
The season's first big upset, the
25-19 decision scored by unheralded
Mississippi Southern pver highly
regarded Alabama, came in second
fin the voting with 60 first place
ballots and 283 points. The late
season surprise, Houston's 37-7
thumping of Baylor, ranked third
with 21 firsts and 189 points.
Under Stu Holcomb's coaching
regime, Purdue has become known
as the spoiler of winning streams.
It was Purdue that wrecked Notre
Dame's 39-game undefeated streak
three years ago, 28-14.
The victory over Michigan State
was the high point of a dismal
1953 season for Purdue, which had
