But we played the best and that's the way we wanted iL" Duke's Tom Harp is one head coach who doesn't try to bottle up his feelings of bitterness and disappointment after being fired. The Duke Athletic Council dismissed him Wednesday after five years in Durham, where his record was 22-28-1 . Mike McGee decided to leave his post at East Carolina and return to his alma mater to replace Harp Thursday. McGee was a guard of the 1 959 Blue Devils and was named the conference player of the year. , But why was Harp fired anyway? The Blue Devil football' program made sharp improvement in thepast two years. If Duke had overcome Don McCauley and the Tar Heels on Nov. 21, it would have meant a conference title, the first one at Durham since 1962. - "We already had 20 high school players ready to sign with us this Saturday," Harp said after his dismissal. "In prior years, the most we ever had was three." . - ..

And despite outstanding individual efforts by Searl, Dick BiddJe and Bob Matheson, Harp's defenses at Duke rarely got the job done until this year. Harp has much reason to be bitter about the timing of his dismissal, after the coaching job he did this season. The Devils started the season by fumbling away a chance to upset Florida in Jacksonville 21-19, then plodded past Maryland and Virginia for their first two conference wins.
