SATURDAY, DECEMBER IT, 1954 THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE THREE Carolina Fros - Diice imps, Over I he IM ill J i v ' X f By FRED BABSON Very rarely is a varsity athlete president of his school's Phi Beta Kappa chapter. But Carolina boasts such a phenomenon in Paul Lik ins. v , Likifis, a senior, has played four years of varsity basketball, in the big-tim-a circle, and has still found time to comple the highest scholastic average of any undergraduate in the University. As if that were not enough he accomplished this feat in the field of Physics The 6'9" c'anter hails from Elkhart; Ind. He had not originally intended to make his name via the sports route. While in high school Likins (he was tall then, too) was spotted by the basketblail coach' who persuaded him to lend his "efforts to the school's cage team Playing along vith Big Paul -on the Elkhart High School team was an other current Carolina athlete, Dick Starner, senior end on this past season's football team. Further testimony to Likins' high academic standing is the fact that he is presently a strong contender for a Rhodes Scholarship, possibly the toughest of all scholarships to acquire. Its reward is study in a top European university. Today, while Coach Frank McGuire takes his cage squad up to Williamsburg, Va., for tonight's tilt with William and Mary, Likins is in Atlanta, beng interviewed by the highly discriminating Rhodes Scholarship screening board. Following the interview, Likins will catch a plane to Richmond, where he will join his teammates and continue the journey to Williamsburg with them. ; Likins left for Atlanta yesterday, missing the pre-game practice. Out of the varsity preliminary game between the UNC Frosh and Atlantic Christian College last Thursday night in Woollen Gym came one of the most amusing incidents we've seen in years. Late in the.second half," as Carolina led by a comfortable margin which fluctuated between 20 and 30 points, the visiting coach sent in a sub stitute. It was not the first substitution the Atlantic Christian coach had made; in fact he had sent in several reserves during the course of the affray. But there seemed to be something different about this lad. His gait was rather awkward, something of a lope. He seemed to glide along smoothly in his unusual stride, his mouth wide open as if he were completely awe-stricken by something ahead of him. Adding the finishing touch to the incongruity of his appearance on a basketball court was a head full of straight, red hair, of the Huck leberry Finn var'rety, except that it was perhaps a duller red. A good-natured crowd was on hand. The home forces were safely ahead, arid the crowd was searching for a little excitement. They iust stepped from behind his plow and wandered onto the basketball court. , , Immediately after his entry into the game, cries went up of "Atta boy. Red. Way to go Red." At first, the crtes were from a particular larly fun-loving few, but within a matter of minutes the whole crowd had joined in. Red, who didn't give the appearance of being especial ly skilled in the cage art, did not get the ball from his teammates as much as the fans thought he should. Cries went up, "Give the ball to Red."-When he did get the ball, spontaneous, deafening roars fitted the gym. For the remainder of the game, the fans forgot about the score and concentrated solely on Red's welfare. In the last minute of the game,' Red got the ball long enough to take two shots, both of which were accompanide by thunderous shouts of. encouragement from the crowd, which by this time had gone completely wild over this very ordinary-looking young man who looked uneasy and out-of-place on the court. When the final gun sounded, Red got a tremendous, final ovation. Throughout the clamor and excitement of the crowd over him, he remained blank-faced and unresponsive. He seemed more puzzled than anything else over this sudden adulation. It was prabably the first time in his life he had ever drawn so much attention from so many people. And it may well be the last. But I'll bet that someday Red will be telling his children about the time he played basketball in Chapel Hill. Quigg, Brerinam Spark Victors Frosh Win 4th Straight Handing Duke Loss No. 2 The University of North Caro lina freshman cagers rolled over Duke's Blue Imps, 77-64, for their fourth straight victory last night fin Duke's Indoor " Stadium.

Guard Bucky Allen was high man for the losers with 16 points, while Bobby Joe Harris and Paul Schmidt collected 14 apiece.

Newberry has a 5-3-2 record. Appalachian, which defeated East Tennessee, 28-13, in the Burley Bowl at Johnson City, Tenn., on Thanksgiving Day, has an 8-2 sea son record. The game is regarded as a toss up on ' the basis of comparative scores' of the teams against the same opponents.

Quarterback Danny Brabham, who missed four games during ' regular season play be cause of injuries, will see action SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10 (AP) San Francisco's 49ers wind up an unlucky pro football season tomor row against Baltimore-a season which in recent games has had few bright spots except the ground gaining of fullback Joe Perry. Thanks to injuries and a leaky pass defense, the dreams of a Nat ional Football League title blew up weeks ago. But before they finish off against Baltimore, the 49ers want to see the big Negro fullback crack the rushing record of 1,146 yards set by Steve Van Buren of the Phila delphia Eagles inX1949. This will take a deal of doing, i Joe has 140 yards to go, and the Colts bring a stout and stubborn defense which includes five tackles each hefting 245 pounds or more. Perry already is the first pro runner in history to rack up 1,000 yards or more in two consecutive seasons. He hit the 1,007-yard mark last Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. The 49ers whitewashed Green Bay 35-0. The crowd of 20,000 or so ex pected to turn out in Kezar Sta dium also will be rooting for Billy Wilson, the rangy, glue-fingered end, to in the league's pass re ception title. Wilson now is tied with Pete Pikos, Philadelphia. Each has 52 receptions.

Meanwhile, the sparkling play of 23-year, old Stefan Stockenberg j featured the workouts of the bust ling Swedes who hope to upset the favored Americans in the interzone finals here next week. Bill Talbert, non-playing U.

I want to keep him hungry." j Seixas, who has been playing brilliant tennis thoughout his pres-1 ! ent visit to Australia as contrasted to last year's dismal slump, beat Autralian pro Dinny Pails in a practice session yesterday and to day breezed through two sets with Hamilton Richardson. Swimmers Meet Duke In Season's 2nd Meet By BERNIE WEISS Undefeated in three games, Coach Frank McGuire's Tar Heels tonight try their hand against out side competition in Williamsburg, Va., where they tackle the William and Mary Indians. W & M, scouted by frosh coach Buck Freeman when the team dropped a double-century mark contest to N. C. State in Ralegih last week, is regarded as one of th top teams in the Southern Con ference this season and is easily potent enough to walk off with the title. Sparkplug of the team is little Pohnny Mahoney, senior letterman who made second string on the all Southern Conference five last year. Freman calls Mahoney one o fthe best players he's ever seen. McGuire said yesterday he wouldn't be surprised if Mahoney and Co. put on a good show and "knocked us off." He figures the Indians, of course, to be much stronger than any five the Tar Heels have faced this year. Carolina has won all its -games thus far, whipping the McCrary Ea gles, Clemson and South Carolina in that order. The Tar Heels are averaging better than 88 points a game, and high-scoring "forward. Lennie Rosenbluth is averaging al most 30 points per game. Rosenbluth suffered a bruised thigh Thursday night when Caro-! Una subdued South Carolina, 88-67 but is expected to be reday to go tonight. The other starters will be Jerry Vayda (with Rosenbluth) at forwards, Al Lifson and Tony Raa ovich at guards, and Paul Likins at center. Likins, president of the local chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, flew to Atlanta, Ga., yesterday to be interviewed for a Rhodes Scho- j larship. He will meet the team in Richmond today. After tonight, the Tar Heels' next game won't be until next Sat urday eve 'when they play hosts to Maryland's Terps in the Woollen Gym. Then the team lays off until the annual Dixie Classic in Raleigh, Dec. 27-28-29.

Coach Ralph Casey's swimmers topped the Bainbridge Naval Train ing Center's team 45-39 this week with two Atlantic Coast Conference marks and one school mark falling during the competition. Phil Drake broke the UNC mark of 2:40.8 in the 200-yard breast stroke with a 2:38.8 performance, while Charlie Krepp cracked the ACC 200-yard backstroke record with 2:14.4. Krepp's mark does not go into the ACC records, however, as the match was not an inter-conference one. The Tar- Heel medley relay team of Krepp, Drake, and Larry Shannon bettered the 2:58.8 conference mark with 2:54.9 in the event. Coach Casey's charges should give N. C. State's championship Wolfpack a run for the ACC titl his year, as nine lettermen are re turning to the club, along with a host of outstanding swimmers from last year's freshman team. State grabbed 11 out of 13 conference in dividual championships last winter, fight at Melbourne Stadium ton ight. Dagata, 119 pounds, completely outfought and outpointed Peacock, 11734 pounds. At the very most, Peacock won two rounds-the 9th and 11th. Dag . ata's terrific in-fighting won him the others by a big margin. and compiled a 6 0 record.
