Murray’s Thoughts Were On A Clock
By W. H. SCARBOROUGH
The little rituals which attend
the playing of a football game
become each year a bit more
rigid. And as they do, several
observers have noted, they bear
an increasing resemblance to the
bullfight.
No one has quite figured out
what part of the bullfight a foot
ball coach’s post-game dressing
room interview corresponds to.
Although they follow a pattern,
they vary with the coach—from
the wake-like laments of a los
ing Jim Hickey to the richly
textured, florid exultations of a
Winning Frank Howard.
OT them all only Duke’s Bill --
Murray continues to ignore
fancy capework in his inter
views; he dispatches the bull
with a gentlemanly drumfire that
brooks no nonsense.
Yet even he found his detach
ment strained after Coach Jim
Hickey’s Tar Heels had horned
his Blue Devils out of victory.
As the game died with his
team battering its way back
down the field from a decisive
Tar Heel field goal, he advanced
a few paces onto the playing field
and a mound of Carolina play
ers bearing Jim Hickey sailed
unheedingly right past him.
Coach Murray turned, shook
and then proceeded alone to-

is the new 1964 SAAB in the same boat as Volkswagen?
As for styling or body changes, yes. They’re few and engine, and room comfortable room, So it’s not
far between. And both cars make a fetish out of -really in the same boat as Volkswagen. Nor is the
sound engineering. But SAAB mechanical changes price. SAAB costs about S3OO more. Value-wise,

ward the tunnel that led up out
of the stadium to the Duke
gymnasium. Passing the east
goal he noticed a group of Caro
lina fans who had downed the
goal posts, but continued to
twist one uprigit in a futile ef
fort to get it out of the ground.
“Here. Pull it out. It comes
out easier that way,” he said.
Then he plunged into the gloom
of the tunnel, trailed by a brace
of reporters, moving swiftly but
without haste. At the gym he
excused himself, ducked into his
office to change his football
shoes for a pair that more nearly
matched his grey herringxme
suit, and struck out for his
dressing room, where emotions
still leaned toward overwrought.
He ducked into the guarded
door, remained alone with his
players for several minutes,
then attempted to emerge A
weeping player clutched him
and wept on his shoulder. A few
soft words, a few more pats on
the shoulder and he broke away
for his conference room.
The businessman’s coat came
off, the tie was unknotted in
short order, and he began:
“Somebody just told me that
North Carolina has received and
‘accepted an invitation to the
Gator Bowl. Those of us here
at Duke hope it is true. They
gave a great account of them
selves today. I think UNC is one
of the fine teams in the country.
I’m certain we’ll be proud of
them—a great team. They’ll
foake a fine representative for
this conference.”
There was no doubt that Bill
Murray had his heart in his
words, but his thougits were
elsewhere, back on the final
minute of the game, on o clock
that didn’t stop when it should
have.
“I don’t know why, but it
(the clock) did continue to run
for a goodly number of seconds
after Carolina kicked its field
goal. I don’t like to be (critical of
the circumstances under which a
game is played, but my concern
is with the timekeeping official.”
He had gone on the field to
have the clock stopped, he had
not been happy with the ruling
which gave him twelve seconds
more. He was totally unsatisfied
with the timekeeper’s claim
that only sue seconds had elap
sed.
“There were approximately
50 seconds left in the game just
prior to Carolina’s field goal)
attempt. There were only 20
when I finally got the clock
stopped. In a football game one
or two seconds can be the dif
ference in winning or losing.”
But that was of little mo
ment now. Coach Murray was
“satisfied” with the twelve
seconds refunded him.
It had been a bruiser in which
his boys had acquitted them
selves to his complete satisfac
tion. They hadn't quit, they
were moving at the same break
net* pace toward a score that
had characterized the Tar Heels’
frantic field goal drive. Coach
Murray did not say it was fate
that had prevented them from
pulling within field goal range,
but you knew that was what he
meant.
He confessed that “a strange
series of things had happened”
during the week of practice
leading up to the game which
hobbled the Blue Devils some
what.
One of his key starters,
Chuck Drulis, pulled up lame in
mid-week. Jim Scott mysterious
ly developed what Murray call
ed a “crick in the back" the
morning of the game. Injuries
to most of his extra fullbacks
forced him to use a fourth
stringer in the position for most
of the game.
“It reminds me of another
game, I won’t mention the year,
when 13 of my 22 starting play
ers couldn’t play.” He meant
the 1959 UNC game, when the
point spread was a hair wider
than on Thursday.
But 'Bill Murray was proud
of his team, especially the grad
uating seniors. He didn’t have
to, but he singled out halfback
Jay Wilkinson’s cross-country
efforts, plus Chuck Crisson and
Stan Walker for special mention.
He also seemed comforted by
the work of quarterback Scotty
Glacken.
THE CHAPEL KILL WEEKLY
On the Carolina bench, he cast
covetous eyes at Junior Edge
and Bob Lacey, who “kept them
going the whole afternoon."
“They’ve got one of the great ■
players In Ken Willard, too.
“Edge has an outstanding
ability to throw the ball, and
he’s got poise.
“Carolina’s got depth, and
they played well in the fourth
quarter. They make fewer err
ors than most folks you see
playing.”
Had the postponement of the
game hurt Duke's play?
“No. The laspe didn’t hurt.
The team was awfully tired after,
the Navy game, and the delay
let us rest and heal our wounds."-
Had he expected UNC to pass
as much as it had? “Yes.”
Had Duke saved up the long
pass play that gave it its first
touchdown? “No. UNC had been
doing an effective job against
it, but they got a little careless
toward the end of the game.”
Nobody asked him what he
thought had given Carolina vic
tory. No one had to. Without
putting it in that few words,
Coach Murray had already said, •
“luck, hard playing and time
just a few seconds.”
Housing
Authority
Will Meet
The Chapel Hill Housing Authori
ty tomorrow night will hear a re
port from a subcommittee on the
possible uses cf a community
center proposed as part of the
Authority’s planned low-rent hous
ing project. The Authority meets
at 7:30 in the community room
of Home Savings and Loan As
sociation.
The committee, consisting of
Authority members Mrs. Robert
Mace and Dr. Sidney Chipman,
was appointed to study the possi
bility of a community center as
part of the housing project. Their
report will concern the communi
ty’s needs for such a building,
and community lacks in this area
which might be fulfilled by a
community center.
The center, if built, would be
i opened for use by the entire com
munity.
The Federal Government has
authorized an aditionai loan of
$12,000 for construction of the
community center, if the Housing
Authority finds that such a facility
is needed. Funds for construction
of. tire center would be loaned to
the Authority in addition to funds
already authorized for construc
tion of the housing project, and
would not be taken from funds
already authorized.
Mrs. Sarah G. Rains, the Auth
ority’s executive secretary, said
the Authority would also discuss
progress to date by appraisers
of the land proposed as a site for
the housing project.
The land is part of a 9.3-acre
tract which the Board of Alder
men has been asked to annex.
The Aldermen last week consid
ered the annexation proposal, and
tentatively agreed to it. The land
in question adjoins the northwest
boundary of Chapel Hill, in the
corner formed by this boundary
and Carrboro's east boundary.
Not all the 9.3 acres would be
used by the Housing Authority
for the housing project.

‘See You Later At The Gator’
By JAMES SHUMAKER
The afternoon was one of
sharp contrasts.
It started on a somber note.
Already delayed from the
Saturday before because of the
President’s death, the 47,500
people who had come to the Duke-
Carolina games to cheer stood at
the beginning for a full minute of
silent prayer for John Fitzgerald
Kennedy. Voices could be heard
in the distance, but inside Duke
Stadium the quiet was funereal.
At the end, those 47,500 were
nearly berserk watching as wild
a finish as could have begh plot
ted by anyone / including the
creafor of Frank ’MerriweA
Joy-drunk Tar Heels uprooted
both goal posts in seconds. UNC
fans broke from the stadium
seats and streamed onto the play
ing field where Coach Jim Hickey
was riding shoulders.
It was several minutes before
the Carolina players could gain
a yard through the crush of fans
to the buses which had brought
them into the stadium from Chap
el Hill.
The finish was a far cry from
the beginning. Spectators trudging
into Duke Stadium for this all
important season-ender were sub
dued.
The sky was heavy and grey,
in keeping with the events of the
past several days. The American
flag in the bend of the horseshoe,
the only one flying in the stadi
um, had been dipped to half-staff.
The Duke and Carolina bands
had been reduced to about one
thirxi strength by the Thanksgiv
ing holiday and weren’t in uni
form.
The only bright notes were two
signs, one under the scoreboard
saying GO DEVILS! and another
strung across the press box say
ing THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE
FOR VICTORY.
There was no programmed half
time entertainment. But the Duke
Blue Devil mascot and several
Carolina students gave an im
promptu performance.
A Carolina student started it
by swiping the Devil's pitchfork
and steaking across the field
with the Blue Devil .in hot pursuit.
The student was brought down
with a flying tackle but manag
ed to get off a pass 'clearly an
illegal forward lateral) and the
pitchfork quickly disappeared in
the Carolina student stands.
About 50 Duke reinforcements
scrambled from the stands and
dashed across the field. They
were intercepted by a policeman
who had been laughing his head
off and a Duke cheerleader and
hustled back to their seats.

THE FAMILY THAT PLAYS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER
Except for the pitchfork caper,
the crowd was absorbed in the
game. The timekeeper became so
absorbed in the play during the
first half that he forgot to stop
the clock when time had been
called for an injury. The clock
kept running until the public ad
dress announcer finally got the
timekeepers attention.
Hie timekeeper miscued again
right at the nreve-wracking fin
ish. He let the clock tick off 12
seconds after Carolina had kicked
its winning field goal, and play
had to be halted for nearly ten
minutes while the officials got
that one straightened out. For
the spectators, who didn’t know
what was going on, it was an
agonizing wait. A man on the
