It nisht began a long scries of tests for McGuire's young Tar
Heels as they meet the best in the land during the Christmas holidays.
This column was written before the Notre Dame game, so we can't say
anything about that specifically.
Th competition Carolina facts in tht next two weks is enough
to scare away lets hearty souls by just a glimpse at the lineup. Last
night the Heels played Notre Dame, a team that is disappointing in
its 1-3 record, but one that was rated as high as 8th before the
season began.
It is entirely possible that the Tar Heels will face Northwestern,
ranked Cth in the country last week and currently way out front in
the 15 ii: Ten. It is also posible they'll face Louisville, who owns a fine
4 2 record in a rebuilding year.
Then comes the Dixie Classic, and If you want strong teams,
you can just about take your pick. First of all there is Cincinnati,
the nation's top team at the last poll. Then comes Carolina (10th),
N. C. State (4th), and Michigan State (11th).
In addition to those there are Duke and Wake Forest, always tough
to b-at in the classic, and outsiders Yale and Louisville.
And that's not all. After the two tournaments the Tar Heels will
rm et Notre Dame in a single game in Charlotte Coliseum on January 3.
'Iliat one will be televised nationally.
Carolina has won three straight games and the rtspect of sports
writers who put on the AP Poll. They were ranked tenth last week
and serve notice they would like to move up the ladder.
It's just a thought, but if they should cop both tournaments and
lieat Notre Dame in the singleton, they'd almost have to cry for new
worlds to conquer. Of course, the chances of them doing it against
mch talent is slim, but anything can happen . . .
There is one definite thing we can say: After Christmas, we
should know, one way or another, just how good the upstart Tar
Heels are. Earlier in the season they were picked anywhere from
3rd to Sth in the conference. Now they are tied for first and look
like they have the horses to take over sole ownership of the first
rung on the ladder.
An amazing thing happened the other night. In the South Carolina
game. Dick Kepley was thrown out for fighting. While we certainly
don't condone getting thrown out of basketball games for fighting, we
think perhaps it is a good sign. Last year Kepley couldn't get excited
rnourh to set thrown out of a game. This year he is a virtual ball of
fire.
The big guy from Roanoke has really come around into the:
kind of ballplayer everyont knew he could be if he just triad.
Coach McGuire cites his change of attitude as one of the principal
reasons. Keptay, if he continues at his present pace, stands a good
chance of leading the conference in rebounds, and maybe even in
scoring.
Another sicn for the Tar Heels raised its head in the Gamecock
contest. There were four men in double figures and two just under.
That, my friends, is team work. It's happened in every game so far,
and we hope they keep it up. There isn't one big man, there are five.
Sophs York Larese and Doug Moo have turned into one of the
finest yearling duos in the nation almost overnight. Who would
have thought two men with such sparse experience in the big
time could perform like Larese and Moe? Well, perhaps nobody
would have thought it, but it is certainly pleasant surprise.
After Christmas vacation the conference race really gets rolling
merrily. There will be a battery of games just before finals, and one
right on top of another after the final'exams. There may be a winner
hiding in the dark confines of Woollen Gym, and we'll soon know . . .

Giants Ready For Browns
NEW YORK LVt Alex Web
ster was unable to work out with
the New York Giants Friday as
they completed preparations for
Sunday's playoff game with Cleve
land at Yankee Stadium for the
Eastern Conference title of the Na
tional Football League.
The Giants strong running right
halfback has been hobbled by a left
knee Injury most of the season. He
hurt the other knee In last Sunday's
M-10 victory over the Browns.
Pat Summcrall, the hero of last
Sunday's game with his 43-yard,
game winning field goal, hasn't
been able to practice kicking all
week due to a leg Injury. Don
Chandler, the club's fine punter,
has been working In Summerall's
place as a field goal kicker. Chan
dler wiU kick off but It is hoped
SirmrrteraJl will be ready for the
placements.
VOLLEYBALL CHAMPS Pictured above are the winners in the
University Volleyball League. Left to right, William "Bill" Prouty,
Victor Bowles, Pete Mullis, and James Rogers. Not shown are Don
Skakle and Gus Johnston.
Notre Dame got ithe lead back, but
Lee Shaffer jump, with 6:55 on
ithe clock, put Carolina out in front
to stay at 686. ; ,
From, that point the Tar Heels,
led by' Salz, Larese and Shaffer
spurted to a 79-68 bulge, outscoring
Notre Dame 13-2.
After Shaffer's go-ahead jump,
Larese scored four straight points
on a push shot and two free throws. ,
As soon as the Tar Heels got their
biggest lead of the night at 79-68
with 1:58 left, Notre Dame caught
fire briefly to pull within four at
79-75. But a lay-up by Salz with 20
seconds left gave the Tar Heels an
81-75 margin and a last minute goal
by Tom Hawkins wasn't enough to
pull it out of the fire for (the Irish.
Carolina again had a bad first
half, hitting only 35 per cent of its
shots from the floor. Shaffer, who
gunned in 18 big counters in the in
itial half, was the. Heel's saving
grace as nobody else was hitting.
The Tar Heels especially had trou
ble under the boards, as Notre
Dame oulrebounded them with ease
In the first half.
The big difference in the second
stanza was the much improved Car
olina rebounding and shooting per
centage. Dick Kepley kept the Irish
from pulling away early in the sec
one half on six straight points.
Lee Shaffer wound up as high
scorer for Carolina with 24 points,
18 of them in the first half. Once
again the Tar Heel scoring was well
distributed, with four men in double
figures. In addition to Shaffer's
clutch performance, Harvey Salz
had 17, York Larese 16, and Doug
Moe 15.
Carolina's Tar Heels.t railing by
as much as 11 points in the first
half, pulled a remarkable comeback
in the second half to overcome
Notre Dame 81-77 in the first round
of the Blue Grass Invitational Tour
nament. The Tar Heels face the winner of
the Northwestern-Louisville clash to
night at 10:15.
Lee Shaffer led the Tar Heel at
tack with 24 points, but it was York
Larese who sparked the comeback
in the second half. Larese had 16
points, Harvey Salz had 17 and Doug
Moe got 15.
Shaffer hit' a jump shot to put
Carolina ahead to stay at 68-66 with
6.56 left in the ball game. From
there Carolina, fought to an 11-point

Irish Game Televised
The Carolina-Notre Dame basket
ball game to be played on January
in Charlotte Coliseum will be na
tionally televised by the NBC tele
vision network in line with its
regular game of the week policy.
It's true that all things come to
hose who wait on themselves.
Many a good argument is knock
ed down and run over by progress.
Howell said the field was in "pret
ty good shape considering the
snow of a week ago. The weather
man predicted a clear, cold day
with a high of about 24 degrees for
tbe playoff to see which team will
be the host to the Dec. 28 league
championship game with the Balti
more Colts.
All reserved seats were sold in
mid-week. Whether the crowd goes
to 63,000 as it did last week or 72,000
capacity depends on the gate sale
of bleacher seats and standing room
Sunday morning. A total of 12,000
bleachers seats and about 5,000
standing room tickets are available.
In case the score is tied alter four
quarters the game will continue on
a sudden death basis. The first
team to score will win. The Giants
still are U-10 betting favorites with
no points listed because of the
chance of a sudden death ending.

Four field goals in one game
by a man who'd never kicked
one before! Bobby Conrad
himself said, "1 never kicked
a field goal in high school or
college. In fact, I never even
tried." But the amazing Texas
A&M back broke two All Star
records by booting four three
pointers, including one for 44
yards, as the 1958 college
stars upset the Detroit Lions,
35 to 19. Conrad is now a
Chicago Cardinal.
