throuRh in the pinches, of produc
ing his best Performances when
there's most at stake, and for that
reason. Tar Heel basketball fans
find it hard to suppress a smile at
mention of the Southern Confer
ence basketball tournament The
ybung man responsible for the
smiles is none other, man Vergil
Weathers, a .junior who claims Shel
by as his home.
Weathers’ play during the regu
lar season last -winter was good
enough to earn him a second string
berth on the all-state team, but he
really came into his own at the
Southern Conference tournament in
Atlanta. Weathers' plav in the tour'
nament was a revelation in speed
and accuracy of eye and served to
help raise the Tar Heels from an
"also entered” team in*o the big
gest surprise package of the tour
nament.
No one. not even tho. r ardent
basketball fans in Chapel Hill who
wonder what’s wrong if the Tar
Heels don't annex a championshw.
expected Coach Bo Shepards ag
gregation to do a great deal in the
tourney, but the Tar Heels steppe 1
out and began to show things at the
start.
Tennessee was the first victim
and then came Kentucky, a big
favorite to win the championship.
That game furnished Weathers the
biggest thrill he ever received on
the court. It was a real story book
affair with the score see-sawing
first one wav and then another
w’ith neither team ever taking anv
thing like a safe lead.
With tes than a minute to plav
Kentucky was leading 42-41 and
Elmer Johnson, the Wildcats' great
forward, drbhlcd into scoring pos
ition near the Carolina goal. The
fans thought the end had come for
Carolina, but they failed to oons'd
er Mr, Weathers’ son Vergil. for
Verg swept in front of Johnson
fri ked the ball out of his hands,
dribbled the length of the court,
and deposited the oval graceful'
and surely in the basket Almo
immediately the gup hred to end
the game, the hardest one the Tat
Heels had all season
That plav alone was enough to
cause Weathers to be picked for a
first string all-Southern berth, bill
he made his post certain by con
tinuing his same brilliant plav
against Auburn and Georgia F>
was second high scorer for the four
days competition with 44 points,
following Strickland Georgia, who
reaped 51. passed faultlessly, and
p’aved a bang-up game on defense
Vet-gil got his early training at
Lattimore high school, near Shrl -
by, where he played basketball and
baseball four years, but he came to
Carolina without anv all-star hon
ors attached to his name and was
forced to prove his ability from the
■tart. That didn't take long and h
was selected for a first string p'acp
on the all-state freshman team and
nroce-ded to win an infield spot on
the baseball club without a grear
amount of trouble
Last, soring hr nlayed second

was one of the teams leading hit
ters.
Vergil hasn't been bothered much
w!th 'injuries and Coach .Separd "
counting on his brilliant work, not
only in thr tournament hut dn'-in*
