M Thursday, March" 18, 1965 THE DAILY TAB HEEE O ! i i 1 iFrecf Seely Conference Tourney Outdated Every sports columnist and his brother has been moaning over the selection method used by the Atlantic Coast and Southern Conferences to determine, their champions. They have a right to wail the present method isn't worth a plugged basketball. This year the two leagues were represented by N. C. State and West Virginia, respectively. State finished the regular sea son in a three - way tie for second, -and West Virginia was Ot of sight. In the NCAA, State lost by 18 points to Princeton,' and the Mountaineers were almost run off the court by Provi dence. Certainly, a terrible showing. But what can be done about the selection method? The tourna ments are much too profitable to throw out the window, and "unless the championship was in some way determined by them attendance would surely drop, perhaps radically. One suggestion calls for a playoff game between the tourney champs and the regular season leaders, if the two are different; This would be ideal, as it would almost undoubtedly produce ; the best the conference has to offer. But there is a problem, and it would be hard to get around. Under the present system, each team is restricted to 23. regu lar season games, as they must allow for three tournament matches to stay under the NCAA - imposed limit of 26. Obviously, this is not good, as four teams are held to 24 games, two to 25 and only two get the full amount, but, as it is done now, it is necessary. Were a playoff game to be held, then each team in the con ference would have to limit its regular schedule to only 22 games, even worse from a revenue standpoint. So tvhy not combine the best features of both, with an added feature or two? Like The Dixie Classic The annual tournament of the conferences, should be played in the same manner as the Dixie Classic that is, played all , the way down to eighth place. Conference teams would be lim ited to 22 regular season games, but they would still be guaranteed of an almost full schedule of 25. The extra game? It would be set aside for a playoff, were the regular season and tournament champs different. AH games would be played at the same site, and the only added expense would be reiial of the arena for two. afternoons, two-day expenses for four teams and one-day expenses for two teams. Tickets for the tournament would be , sold , on a full tourney basis that is, the buyer has to purchase a seat for the whole session. There is an overwhelming demand for seats to the tournament, and it is doubtful if overall sales would decrease much. Also, prices for the loser's sessions could be made con siderably cheaper, thus making the overall costs less. A problem would ' arise if two or more teams tied for the regular season honors, and one of them ? won the tournament, then it would be champion and there would be no playoff. If another team took the laurels in Raleigh, then it would play off with the team which advance highest. So everyone would be happy. The fans, although they would have to shell out a few bucks extra for somewhat meaningless . games, would have the best team representing their conference. The conference would have even more money, and the individu al schools would be able to play at least 25 games and their pot would be a bit sweeter with the added cash. - It would be fair to all, which is something the "present meth od isn't. At least it deserves some consideration. Gimhiiigham, Moe And BLosie Will Play In UNC-Buke Ga Maryland Takes Big Lead In Carmichael Cup Race .

( By BILL LEE DTH Sports Writer Phi Delta Theta, employing a tight man - to - man defense and balanced scoring, won the Fraternity Blue division bas ketball championship Tuesday night by defeating Zeta Psi 41 32. The major factor in the Phi Delta win was the inability of Bill Harrison, Zeta Psi main stay all season, to contribute his usual performance. Harri son was held to only three field goals and 10 points. John Poole aided occasional ly by Butch Winstead were the! ones to put the hurt on Harri- son with their close guarding. ; The game started off some-, what slowly, with each team playing cautiously. Ed .Wil-! liams was the top scorer fori the Phi Delts with 12, Bob; Reagan had 10, and Poole and; Winstead added nine and eight respectively. . Scoring for Zeta Psi behind Harrison were Jim Barber with eight, and Joe Huffman and Ali Hamilton with five each. Other players for the ehamps were Dave Rowe, Miles Foy, and George Wainright. ATO gained the championship in the Fraternity White division by beating Phi Delta Theta 29 22 in a low scoring contest. Both teams had off nights as: it took quite a few shots to com pile even the low score. The half - time score was 13 - 12 in favor of the Phi Delts, but ATO, led by Terry Reeves and Ed Burke took over the lead in the second half and kept it. Burke ended up with nine points for the game and Reeves hit for seven to lead the game scoring. Others playing for the champs were Chip Young (3), Jim Canull (5), Stu Ellington rs .Tne Vauehn. and Ramsey White. Leading the Phi Delts was Ken Hightower with six. In semi - final soccer games the Peacocks topped St. Antho ny Hall on corner kicks 3-1 after the regulation game tier at 1 - 1.
