State Beats Tar Heels,
84-77, In Wild Contest
Total Of 74 Fouls Committed In Rough Game
As State Wins With Accuracy At Foul Line
By Vardy Buckalew
What it was was almost football last night a Carolina and N. C.
State, both employing the full court press, met in a basketball game
in Woollen Gym which State eventually won, 84-77, after the teams
had literally battled it out for almost three hours.
A total of 74 fouls were called on both teams and the difference
in the final score was- a result of
Board Lauded
For Enforcing
Frat Fire Law
The Board of Aldermen has re
cently been lauded by the State
Insurance Department for its ac
tion in condemning local fratern
ity and sorority houses until ade
quate fire escapes had been
installed.
Referring to the recent Pi Kappa
Phi fraternity house fire, which
came a- year and a day after the
houses had been condemned, Kern
Church, engineer and deputy fire
marshal of the State Insurance
Department, wrote Town Manager
Thomas D. Rose as follows:
"I shudder when I think what
might have happened in this fire,
or in a lire in one oi tne oiner
fraternities or sororities, had the
fire escapes not been installed
and had the students not been
aware of the hazardous condition
of these buildings. The action tak
en by city officials on December
16. 1952, when all but two of the
frfeterniiies and sororities were
condemned until fire escapes, etc.,
were installed, brought public at
tention to this hazard.
"I personally think the city
State's superior accuracy at the
free throw line. Both teams made
23 field goals, but the Wolfpack
made 38 foul shots good to the Tar
Heels' 31. A total of 111 free
throws were taken in the game by
both teams.
State's hustling forward, Mel
Thompson, was the high scorer for
the night with a total of 30 points,
20 of them coming in the second
half when Carolina came out of
its zone and he was shifted to the
pivot spot. Thompson made 16
out of 24 free throws.
Carolina's leading scorer was
again forward Jerry Vayda who
tosed in 23 points, 13 of which
were scored consecutively in a
spectacular display of shooting in
the fourth quarter. Guard AI Lif
son was runner-up to Vayda for
the Tar Heels with 20.
The second leading scorer for
State was Ronnie Shavlik, 6-7 cen
ter who scored fourteen of his
points in the first half when he
was the center of the State of-j
fense employed against Carolina's
zone defense. The Wolfpack was
able to penetrate the fTar Heels'
zone by throwing it to Shavlik, who
was passing off brilliantly and
shooting just as well.
At one point in the wild and
woolly contest the game was
brought to a halt when the crowd
began throwing paper on"lhe floor

By the time the game was over,
both teams had almost all of their
starting teams on the bench be
cause of fouls. State lost Whitey
Bell, Dick Tyler, Vic Molodet, and
Shavlik, while Carolina had to do
without the sen-ices of Tony Rad

the game.
Carolina led throughout most of
terday in Connor Dormitory's col
lection of classical and popular
records.
Dormitory authorities reported
the loss of some 68 records from
Connor's social room console
to Assistant to the Dean of Stu
dents Ray Jefferies yesterday.
They said the theft occurred some
time after 2:00 a.m. Sunday morii
ing, when the "last residents left
the lounge."
Dorm advisor Earl Diamond, in
a letter to Jefferies, said: "When
the dormitory advisor and the
dormitory president were straight
tening up the lounge late Sunday
night, Jan. 17, it was noticed that
all of the phonograph records
which belong to the dormitory
were missing . . .
"The president and the advisor
searched through the dormitory
but could not find the records, nor
could they find anyone who knew
of their whereabouts."

Diamond, questioned in his
room, also stated, "Who . . . why
. . .? They were certainly not taken
for resale. They're probably in
somebody's record collection.
"We'd like to get them back," he
added, "and if they should sud
denly appear at ?:0O some other
Sunday morning, there'd be no
questions asked."
I Charles Bryan, of Baltimore,
Maryland, said, "We're one of the
few dorms that have one (record
player). It was sure nice on week
ends." Another Connor resident,
B. J. Campbell, said he didn't know
anything about the theft, and that
the thieves or thief "are sure
operating."
"We were going to have a dance
in February," said Rodney Moak
of Charlotte. Moak said the theft
might affect dance plans.

Concert Sends
Listeners Away
Wanting More
The University Symphony Or
chestra gave its first concert of
ihe year to the campus last night
a popular, varied, and all too
short program that sent the audi
ence away wanting more.
Under the always-capable baton-
of Earl Slocum, the orchestra of
students and faculty members
moved through a Bach fugue, a
Mendelssohn symphony, three
dances from a Smetana opera, and
an overture by Brahms.
The Brahms piece his Aca
demic Festival Overture seemed
an audience favorite. Based on a
German student song, the Over
ture was written by Brahms for
presentation at an academic occa
sion at Cambridge University in
England. (Cambridge had offered
him an honorary degree which he
never received because he dreaded
seasickness and did not make the
voyage across the channel to Ens
land to be present for the festival)
The orchestra translated the al
ternating subtlety and drive of the
Overture to near-perfection.
The program opened with Bach's
(Little) Fugue in G Minor. It's per
formance was distinguished by the
bright-sounding violins led by As
sistant Conductor Edgar Alden.
After a competent performance
of Mendelssohn's Italian Sym
phony, the orchestra ripped off
three dances from Smetana's "The
Bartered Bride." We noticed the

During his visit to Chapel Hill,
Frost will stay at the home of his
.good friend, Dr. Clifford P. Lyons,
dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences and member of the Eng
lish Department, which is sponsor
ing his appearance here.
Frost was born in San Francisco
"; in 1375 but he has spent most of
his life in New Fngland, the idiom
and folk-ways of which are reflect
ed in much of his best poetry. A
man of many talents, he was edu
cated at Dartmouth and holds nu
merous honorary degrees (the
latest a LittD. from the University
of North Carolina, in June, 1953).
Although best known as a poet,
he is also a distinguished lecturer
and teacher. After a beginning in
Pinkerton Academy, Deny, New
Hampshire, most of his active
teaching years were spent at Am-
herst College and the University of
Michigan. From" 1912 to 1915 he
was in England, where the English
poets Wilfrid Gibson and Lascelles
Abercrombie were his neighbors
for a time.
Few poets have received more
honors during their lifetime than
has Frost. He was named Phi Beta
Kappa poet at Harvard in 1916 and
was elected to a fellowship at
Pierson College, Yale, In 1933. He
was awarded the Levinson Prize by
the Magazine "Poetry" in 1922; the
Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1924,
1931, and 1937; and others.

All of these are colorfully and
clearly explained in the exhibit.

Frr Account Of Accident
Hugh B. Barwick, the sophomore
from Clinton whose car collided
with a telephone pole in Durham
last weekend, said yesterday that
he had a few "corrections" to an
account in The Daily Tar Heel.
He said his accident occurred on
Chapel Hill Street in Duraam, not
Duke Street. "My unfortunate ac
cident also occurred about 12:15
a.m. Saturday, not 3 o'clock," Bar
wick added.
Barwick, who wasn't charged
with law-breaking by Durham po

wet street and crashed into the
pole. He wasn't injured.
