Old Conference Rivals
Prior to the Christmas holidays it was conjectured here that by the
resumption of classes a relatively solid appraisal of the Carolina bas
ketball team could be made. The first half of the vacation was nothing
for the McGuircmcn to write home about it was downright miserable
in fact.
Through the West Virginia game in the Kentucky Invitational finals
uhere their 37 game winning streak was snapped, the Tar Heels had
r.to played a real good game all season. Consequently many Carolina
followers were beginning to think this might turn out to be a disas
trous year.
Cut along came the Dixie Classic and along came the Tar Heels
looking like national champs again as they 'breezed through to their
second straight Classic title. Now the consensus cf opinion is that
THE TAIl HKfXS WILL BE ALL RIGHT. -
By BILL KING
Carolina's Tar Heels, their great
winning streak snapped! . and am
; other one started since , the begin
j ning of the holidays, will be gun
' i;ing for victory number nine and
' their fourth straight since West Vir
ginia Woollen Gym tonight against
a surprising ' young Wake Forest
club.
The eight o'clock tipofl will throw
the Dixie Classic Champs into com
petition with the only Big Four
team it hasn't encountered yet, and
the G9.200 fans who saw the Dixie
Classic will vouch for the danger
of Bones McKinney's, assemblage

Duke and N. C State in the Classic.

admiration of fans and coaches

tAt TrV tAt
Thoe studants who watchad Frank McGuire's machine wrap St.
Louis, Duke and N. C. State on the way to the title saw a gTeatly im
proved ball club one which is capable of winning national honors
again in 57-5&
The going, naturally, will be tougher than it was last season. The
Tar JIccIs are more inexperienced than a year ago. Also, they have
been hit hard by injuries and sickness. Few teams could lose such
valuable men as Joe Quigg, York Larese. Danny Lotz and Ray Stanley
without feeling it tremendously.
But if the Dixie Classic is any indication of the rate of improve
ment which the Tar Heels will show this season, then it should turn
out to bo a very good year.
For one thing, the boys are learning to "think" together and con
sequently are improving greatly in the vital offensive rebounds de
partment. We're speaking primarily xl three sophomores, Lee Shaffer,
Dick Kcpley and Harvey Sail. Thus far, these have been the key men
in the success or failure of the club. All have improved tremendously
since the season began.
' v 'V j
LEE SHAFFER
He'll Start For Carolina
it it
In the Classic, w war particularly imprassad with tha perform
ances of Shaffer, lie did a beautiful Job In all departments and his
elforls were almost good enough to put him on the second all-tournament
team.
But what impressed us most about big Lee was his poise and con
duct. As a freshman last season, he was a bit cocky and the fans
often gave him a rough time. This.season however, he has mellowed
considerably and could easily become one of Carolina's all-time greats.
The N. C. State garni; was a good example of Shaffer's attitude.
Against the Wolfpack. he was shoved around quite a bit, especially
by State center John Richter. This was an attempt to rattle Shaffer.
But he never once lost his temper. Lee simply overlooked this and
went ahead and played a fine ball game.
Kcpley is looking much better now and appears to have won him
self a starting post. His rebounding is much better and he is rapidly
shaking the "sophomore jitters" that plagued him during the opening
games.
Salz is perhaps one of the steadiest replacements that any team
could have. He is a fine defensive player and can shoot with the best
of them. - ' ,
around the country with their trem
endous efforts in the Classic. De
scribed as the ACC's "weak sister"
in pre-season speculation Wake
Forest came into the Classic and
whipped through , Duquesne -: then
dropped a couple of real close ones
to N. C. State and Duke, the latter
going an overtime.
Sophomores Click
But what impressed Classic-goers
most was the work of the outstand
ing group of sophomores at Deacon
town. They failed to choke in the
clutches and that's saying a lot
for a team of second year men. Mc
Kinney also proved that he had the
depth, even if it is of the youthful
vintage, by substituting frequently
with equal efficiency.
The soothsayers figure the pres
sure is off the Tar Heels now since
that loss to West Va. in the finals
of the Kentucky Invitational, but
the Chapel Hillians aren't buying
any of that. The pressure now, they
feel, is to prove to the world that
they can get off the floor and roar
back in defense of their national
crown. "-
- . ' i
Chance To Develop
The pressure is reduced in one
respect. Now that their fabulous
winning streak no longer protrudes
before the, public eye, there won't
be as much attention focused on
the Chapel Hill contingents and that
could be the greatest thing to hap
pen to this ball club. Now the im
portant sophomores will be able to
develop without having the entire
nation watching their every move.
This game tonight could turn into
a real rock and roller as the in
spired Deacs attempt to do some
thing : that they, or anybody else
failed to do last year. The Tar Heels
know they'll have their hands full
against their hustling cousins from
Winston-Salem.
Probable Starters
The Dcac's starting lineup is as
hard to predict as Jack Benny's
age since McKinney usually decides
his starters according to the type
of game he"ll play. .
A probable starting five would
consist of, George Ritchie and Char
lie Forte at '.guards, David Budd at
center and Wendall Carr and Olin
Broadway at forwards.
For the Tar Heels, it will be Tom
my Kearns and Bob Cunningham at
guards, Lee Shaffer and Pete Bren
nan at forwards and Dick Kcpley at
centerThere is a chance that Cun-1
ningham will go at forward, Shaffer
will be at center and Harvey Salz
will run at guard. .

Deacon To Watch
Buck Freeman's
Been Scouting
If you're one of the many Tar
Heel basketball fans who have beta
wondering about the absence of
assistant coach Buck Freeman dur
ing the early part of the season,
rest assured that Frank McGuire's
valuable aid )s right in there with
the national champs.
Freeman has been on the road
for the past few weeks scooting
Tar Heel opponents. Freshman
coach Ken Rosemond has been
McGuire's game assistant during
his absence. Now Rosemond is out
looking around at opponents and
Freeman is back at his usual post.
Rt RtlSTY'HAMMftNn !
The Carolina Tar Babies seek to
improve a 4-1 season record tonight
against the Wake Forest Baby Dea
cons in a contest getting underway
at 6:00 in Woollen Gym.
The yearlings have swept their
last three in a row, including a
101-61 romp over Pfeiffer. Their last
encounter, just before the holidays,
was with EMI and they won it going
away 95-80. The frosh have an 88.6
point average per gajne against
their opponents 73.6, which exem
plifies their strong offense . and
stingy defense.
Moe Top Scorer
Doug Moe continues to be the top
scoring threat, with a 24.1 average
over the first five games. His big
gest night was against High Point
when he hit for 32. Jim Donahue,
close on his heels with a 20.8 aver
age, pumped in 30 against EMI
In addition to these, footballers
Lenny Beck and Russ Hollers have
come on strong at the guard slots.
The squad is still awaiting the re
turn of Lou Brown, now on the in
jured list with a broken hand.
A preliminary contest between
the freshmen of the two schools will
begin at 6:00.

CLASSIFIEDS
it it
Th work of th vataran trio. Tommy Kaarns, Pttt Brannan and
Bob Cunningham in the Classic was tremendous. Brcnnan was the
outstanding player in the tourney and Kearns made the first all-tour-namcnt
team. Cunningham was his usual brilliant self on defense
especially in the opening round against St. Louis Jack Mimlitz, He
made the all-tourney second team.
This Carolina club is quickly assimilating into another power. The
talent, of course, has always been there. All that was needed was a
little experience for the younger fellows and certainly they're coming
along beyond expectations.
McGuire also has some mighty good material on the bench. Fellows
like Danny Lotz, Ray Stanley, John Crotty, Roy Searcy and Grey Poole
will help considerably before the season is over. '
r it i?
Tonight In Waollan Gym lha Tar Haals will mtat lht only Big Four
rival they haven't faced yet. Wake Forest. The young Deacs won the
hearts of the fans in the Raleigh tourney as they beat Duqucsne in
the opener and fought to the wire with N. C. State and Duke.
Bones McKinney is putting together a fine ball club up at Baptist
Hollow. The sophomore-laden Deacons exceeded anything anybody
thought Vhcy could do in the tourney.
i -
This Wake Forest club cannot be counted "out" as was predicted
earlier in the season. Spirit and hustle has always been an earmark
of the Deacons and this squad exemplifies this to the utmost.

Pete Brcnnan was the Unanimous choice for the Dixie Classic's out
standing player award and there was a record field of sportswriters
participating in the selection. .Many have now decided that Brcnnan
is quickly becoming a sure thing for All-Amcrican honors. Pete was
also selected on the all-tourncy team in the Kentucky Invitational.
Sophomore forward Lee Shaffer is hitting for an amazing 53.9 ac
curacy from the floor and has an 86.2 mark from the free throw line.
. , . Brendan's fX) rebounds leads the team in that department but
' ' there's a close race for second1,,place. Shaffer has 61 and Bob Cun-
ningham and Diet Kepler carir-have-59.
