TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1955 THE DAILY TAR HEEU PACE TMRE1 1 ? r .Ji u f r 1 h i H Tigers Upset Favored Tar ee I si Take o4J- vsr 1 o . By FRED BABSON II H H IJ I , .' , "jt yy i II 7 Once again there is a Big Four in basketball around this neck ' of the woods. For the past few years it has been the Big Three and Carolina, reading from top to bottom. Coach Frank McGuire's Tar Heels surprised everyone but them selves in the Dixie Classic. The victory over Duke was McGuire's first. Now serving his third year here, the affable Irishman holds single wins over State, Wake Forest, and Duke. The victory over the Deacons was last year, while the win over State came two years ago when Jerry Vayda, then a freshman, potted a jump shot at the final gun sounded to upset the mighty Wolfpack in their Coliseum. Although Carolina fared well in the tournament, high-scoring sophomore Lennie Rosenbluth relinquished his individual scoring lead to Wake Forest's All-America Dickie Hemric. Rosenbluth en tered the tourney with a 30.2 average, emerging with a 27.6 mark. Hemric's 29.4 points per game is tops. A good reason for Rosenbluth's falling behind Hemric in the point-making department is the slow-down brand of ball UNC plays. Against State the Tar Heels were under orders to play possession and slow down the 'Pack's devastating fast-break. Consequently, Rosenbluth shot less than usual and scored only 13 points. Despite Carolina's strong showing in defeating Southern Cal, (at the time ranked 12th in the nation) and Duke, (ranked 18th) and playing second-ranked State down to the wire before losing by three points in the final minutes, the Tar Heels were not placed among the top 20 teams in the Associated Press poll released yesterday. Duke, however, is tied for 17th with Villanova, conquerors of State, which dropped from second to third. Kentucky and Duquesne are one and two, respectively. Tonight the Tar Heels tackle a strong Alabama quintet in Tus caloosa, Ala. The Crimson Tide is tied with Notre Dame and Seton Hall for 20th. This Christmas was an especially good one for ex-Carolina tennis star Vic Seixas, who finally turned the trick down under as America took possession of the Davis Cup from Australia for the first time in five years. Formal practice for indoor track gets under way today in the Tin Can. The tracksters worked out informally for a couple of weeks prior to the Christmas vacation, but today they go under the careful eye of veteran coach Dale Ranson. Their first meet will be with N. C. State, January 15. Tickets for Saturday night's basketball game with Wake Forest are being rationed out on a reserve basis. Pass book holders must present their books at the ticket office in Woollen Gym in exchange for a ticket. The operation is being conducted on a first-come, first serve plan up until noon Saturday. s s l For Your Best Buys BuyAtVARLEY'S S 1.,MM,B L...7J e f AT EMS . 3HOP s Coach Frank McGuire will be depending heavily on these three mainstays when the Tar Heels tangle with Alabama tonight in Tus caloosa.

Clark got 26 rebounds, high for the night. Carolina's Tar Heels continue their swing through the Deep South, as they journey to Tusca loosa, Alabama tonight, to take on Alabama's Crimson Tide. LSU took a 36-32 halftime lead after the score had changed hands six times and increased its margin to as high as 18 points until a late North Carolina forecourt press closed it. Sophs Roger Sigler of LSU and Lennie Rosenbluth of North Caro- j lina tied for scoring honors with Tar Heels, With 3rd Place, Surprise Of Dixie Classic By BERNIE WEISS Rehashing the Dixie Classic, one is reminded of a statement Caro lina basketball coach Frank Mc Guire came up with early in the season v. . something to the effect that the Tar Heels would produce a basketball team which would be 20 percent improved over last sea son's quint. Already his prophesy is holding true, and the proof came during the Classic, in which Carolina won two of its three games and finished third in the eight-team tourna ment behind N. C. State and Minn esota. Compared with last year's tour ney, when Carolina lost all three contests and finished dead last, the team is far better than 20 per cent improved. Last week the Tar Heels played against three teams all of which were ranked among the top 20 in the nation. Southern California held the No. 12 position, Stale was No. 2 and Duke was No. 18. The Tar Heels unranked and with no major victories to their credit, upset the Trojans, lost by three points to State in a posses sion battle and won from the Blue Devils going away in the finale to capture third place. Everett Case's Wolfpack, after defeating Carolina, went on to edge Minnesota, 85-84. in a thrilling finish to the sixth annual Classic. Carolina lost its control game to State at the foul line. That game was close all the way, and at one ! lime McGuire was enjoying a five point lead. His strategy of not running with State, though dis pleasing to the fanatical Reynolds Coliseum crowd, almost paid off, Lennie Rosenbluth, as usual, drew a large number of foul tosses but was unable to cash in on the out above the rest. Fortunately, they fall in at the right positions. Shavlik and Rosenbluth would oc cupy the forward positions; West Virginia's Rod Hundley and Gar maker the guard posts; Wake For est's Dickie Hemric is an easy choice at center. Hemric set a four-year national 23 points each. LSU hit for 35.2 per cent of its field goal attempts, while North Carolina hit on 36.5 per cent of its tries. breaks. He missed seven of 10 free I scoring record during the tourna- throws, more than enough to' make up the point spread. ' Against Duke, however, Rosen bluth set a new Dixie Classic re cord for foul tosses made good. This brings to mind another' state ment Coach McGuire made recent ly, when "Bluth" established a rebounding mark against South Carolina. He said, "Rosenbluth can break any record he wants. lie just ueeds some time." . ment. Hundley, flashy Mountineer who almost chose a Big Four school, tallied 47 points against Wake Forest to tie another mark. T Hundley was the Classic's bright spot, his play being characteristic of the Harlem Globetrotters. He even had some of the officials laughing at points with his fancy dribbling.

To many, Minnesota's John Garmaker was more deserving of the award. Garmaker was the outstanding fea ture of an otherwise mediocre Go pher attack, and his play in the final game was the only thing which kept the Big Ten represen tative from being snowed by State's crushing power. Pickng an unofficial all-tournament team would be a chore, but there were five players who stood : Carolina's Jerry Vayda played well throughout the meet. His de-; fensive play against Duke was one of the big factors in the upset. Vayda rode the backboards for most of the game. Wake Forest plays here Saturday night. Watch Lefty Lowell Davis. When he gets hot he can be as tough as Hemric. GRAHAM MEMORIAL BARBERSHOP STUDENTS GET YOUR HAIRCUTS AT THE G. M.

Midwinter Sports Assn. of ficials, who sponsor the Sugar Bowl, said the whole operation was carried out "perfectly." B. J, Grenvvood, president of the association said he knew of no commotion or disorderliness in the huge Sugar Bowl Stadium at Tulane University during the game. "The Navy was satisfied and we were satisfied," he said. Nothing "ebarrassing" occurred for eith er side. The Sugar Bowl offical said, Halftime score: LSU 36, Nortn 1 Carolina 32. Free throws missed: North Car olyina Vayda, Rosenbluth, Lifson 6, Goodwin. LSU Sigler 2, Holt, Clark 2, Magee, Jones. however, that only Negroes were seated in the section usually re served for Negroes. The desegregated Sugar Bowl crowds resulted from the Navy distributing 13,000 tickets without regard for a racial stipulation printed on them. Earlier, the National Assn. for Advancement of Colored People protested because the tickets could be used only by Caucasians. Secretary of the Navy Charles Thomas ordered the tickets sold tS midshipmen, recruits and others without regard to the stipu lation. Grenwood said he had no way of knowing how many Negroes attended the game.
