The unbeaten Tar Heels breezed through the quarterfinal round without working jp a sweat, nearly got bumped off by Wake Forest in the semis, but mopped up the floor with" South Carolina in the championship game. It was a great tournament for the Tar Heels. They set the sports world agog with the blazing brand of basketball they displayed, and won many new found friends to their cause. So many good things were said about the. magnificent Tar Heels that it would be impossible to remember them all. Ever since last Friday morning. Coach Frank McGu ire's dandies have monopolized the sports pages of ail our state papers. And rightly so. South Carolina mentor Frank Johnson called Carolina "the best team to ever come from this area." After the licking he absorbed in Saturday night's finals, this statement is not too surprising. - It was a tremendous team performance that carried the .Tar Heels to 27 straight victories and their first ACC title in history. Lennie Rosenbluth was their hero, but his supporting cast of Joe Quigg, Pete Brennan, Tommy Kearns and Bob Cunningham de served Oscars for the roles they played. These five boys dominated the ACC All-Tournament team. Rosen bluth and Brennan were named to the first unit, while Kearns, Quigg and Cunningham all drew second string berths. For Wake Forest An NIT Berth Frank McGuire told a group of Metropolitan writers in New York Monday afternoon that at least two teams should be allowed to repre sent the ACC in past reason- tournament competition. The Tar Heel Coach poined to Wake Forest as an example, saying that the Deacons should be permitted to play in the Na tional Invitational Tournament as a reward for their fine season's record. As the conference rule stands now, only the league champ as de cided by the ACC tourney can compete in post season affairs. And then the champ muX play in the NCAA tourney. Wake Forest has a strong, experienced team that deserves a chance J to go after tne Nil crown, ine jjeacuns naa a very succrwiui jej, and if four losses to the number one Tar Heels had been wiped out, they would have a truly outstanding record. Against outside competition such as Seton Hall, Temple and others, they were unbeatable. It was only against conference foes that they experienced difficulty. We believe Wake Forest could have gone places in the NIT with its comparatively weak field. In fact we think -they could have won the tournament. It would have been another argument in favor of the brand of basketball played in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Notes And Quotes On Sports The Carolina-Yale game played last night in New York City will be shown on televsion tonight at 7:30 over station WRAL in Raleigh. WTVD and WRAL-TV are negotiating for live coverage of the UNC games in Philadelphia this weekend. (Since this column was written before last night's game, we hope they're still negotiating.) The Tar Heel string of 27 regular season victories which they possessed going into the NCAA tourney was a new record. Kentucky and San Francisco held the old regular season mark at 25. If Carolina sweeps the national title, they will set a new one season record for consecutive victories at 32. Grady Wallace after Saturday night's ACC title game: "That . Rosenbluth is something, isn't he? He is really the greatest." Info reaching our ears tells us that Carolina will not win the con ference sportsmanship award as voted by the players. Yale will be almost impossible to beat in the NCAA swim championships to be held here later on this month. The powerful Elis swamped one of the nation's better teams. Harvard, 66-20 in a meet last week. Harvard's coach called Yale before tho meet "the greatest team ever," Pull In 2nd Half NEW YORK (AP) North Carolina's Tar Heels, down for nearly three quarters of the game, showed the atuff that made them the nation's No. 1 team this year by whipping Yale, 90-74 in a first round game of the NCAA tourna ment Tuesday night. It was the 28th consecutive victory for North Carolina, the only unbeaten major college team this season. Yale's red-headed Johnny Lee rivalled North Carolina's all-America Lennie Rosenbluth as the out standing player to appear in Tues day, night's three games at Madi son Square Garden. '.It wa Lee's sharp shooting that was the big factor in keeping Yale in front through most of the first half and getting the Elis back in contention after North Carolina had begun to move in the second half. Syracuse rallied to beat Conn. 82-76, and then CanU-ius outplayed lethargic West, Virginia, the South ern Conference champion, 64-56. Rosenbluth had the edge over Lee in their duel although he was benched for awhile after commit ting his fourth personal foul. The tall Tar Heel scored 11 field goals and seven fouls for 29 points. In addition he did a superb rebound ing job under both boards. Lee made 25 points before fouling out in the last minute. North Carolina's "subway South erners," whose entire starting lineup hailj from the New York area, never lost their poise when they were threatened by an upset. They had to work hard to tie the score at 40-40 just at the end of the first half. After Carolina did go ahead at the start of the second half, the scrappy Elis rallied to regain the lead three times. Bob Cunningham finally sent Carolina ahead for keeps in the ninth minute of the second half. Yale's aggressive de fense proved costly in the long run aj four of the five starters fouled out in the closing minutes. A three-point play by Lee half way through the final half marked Yale's final threat. Carolina, bear ing down harder, spurted into a 10 point lead, then increased its margin further after Rosenbluth. returned to the game. North Carolina now plays Ca uisius in the Eastern regional tournament at Philadelphia Friday, while Syracuse meets Lafatette, which drew a first round bye. t 1 : ';.'.v-" ! ill v a: 1 mi A Smile For The Cameraman Coach Sam Barnes and five of his top wrestlers flash big grins for the photographer when caught in the UNC dressing room.
