1t isn't enough that North Caro-
lima State is the No. 2 team in
college basketball and has an 11-0
record. They want to score a slew
of points too.
What's more, you can bet the
Wolfpack will try to do just that
tonight when it runs into Minnesota
for the Dixie Classic title.
States preference for high
scores popped up yesterday when
the Wolfpack had to scramble for
a 47-44 edge over North Carolina.
The Tarheels just didn't have the
bench to cope with the likes of
State, so they Stunned a running
game and went into freeze.
1t almost paid off. State had to
overcome a five-point deficit in
the second half to win. At one
point in the first half, Coach Frank
McGuire's TarheelS held the ball
for three minutes without trying
shot.
Minnesota moved into the finale

the consolation title.
In other tournament play last
night, Louisville (No. 13) won the
Kentucky Invitation 93-77 over
Eastern Kentucky. Western Ken
lucky defeated Murray $3.50 for

Play Key Roles

Rx HAROLD cLAASSEN

NEW ORLEANS R-Both were
substitutes when the football sea-
son started in September but come
Saturday the outcome of the annual
Sugar Bowl game may be decided
by the play of either Navy quarter
back George Welsh or Eagle Day,
the Indian who directs Mississippi.
The quarterback job in the grid
iron machine built by Coach Eddie
Erdelatz was up for grabs when
the Midshipmen started practice
in September. John Weaver, a
senior, received most attention.
Before the sailors had q full head
of steam, Welsh was doing the
signal calling and Weaver was the
regular left halfback.
Day, one-fourth Cherokee Indian,
still isn't the starting field general
for Coach Johnny Vaught's South
east Conference champions but
he's the player who gives the
team its Verve and dash.
Erdelatz is satisfied with the
162-pound Welsh and approves the
daring shown by the junior from
Coaldale, Pa. AS an example, he
points to a fourth down play in
the first period of the Army-Navy
game. Navy needed yard for
first down and was on its own 30.
Army expected a punt but Welsh
Squirmed through for two yard:
and Navy retained possession Of
the ball.
Playing all games except the
Stanford contest, missed because
of rib injuries, Welsh completed
80 of 81 passes for 527 yards and
seven touchdowns. AS a runner he

The 14O-piece Buckeye band was

some contact work would be on

The Ohioans, in contrast to Mon

SYDNEY, Australia Up Re-
bounding from three straight de-
feats, Australia's Ken Rosewall
and Rex Hartwig whipped Amer
ica's Tony Trabert and Vic Seixas
today in the final two singles of
the Davis Cup Challenge Round.
But since the United States had
already won the cup, symbol of
world tennis supremacy, the
matches furnished only a measure
of consolation to Australia'S pride
and made the final score for the
record books, United States 8,
Australia 2.
With the pressure off, the little
southpaw Rosewal crushed Ira
bert 81, rs, 6-3. Hartwig, playing
his first Challenge Round singles,
drubbed Seixas 46, 6-3, 62, 63.
Hartwig, who recently recovered
from an attack of the mumpS, was
substituted for Lew Hoad, and his
brilliant play today started Aus
tralians Second-guessing the Selec-
tors who passed over him in both
the opening singles and doubles.
"Well, there goes my prediction
of five to nothing" said us. Cap
tain Bill Talbert with a broad
smile. "But we should worry. We
have won the cup, and that's what
matters"
Talbert said both Trabert and
Seixas suffered a physical and
mental letdown after reaching
their peak to score victories in
the first two singles and doubles.
Trabert himself said he had
little heart for his match because
he wanted Hamilton Richardson,
his teammate, to be given a chance
to play in the round.
'I have a pretty mean cut on
my racquet finger and l didn't
want to play today" he said. II
thought it would be nice if Ham,
who has been out here four times,
could get chance for some Chal-
lenge Round experience.
"But the officials wanted no SUBJ
stitutions because they feared it
would disappoint the sellout crowd.
Then we were told today around
noon that Australia was Substitut-
ing for Hoad."
Hoad Sprained a groin in his
right thigh in the third set of yes
terday's doubles match, won BY
Trabert and Seixas, and the doctor
advised him to lay off tennis for six
weeks.
Hartwig, a 25-year-old country
boy whose record over the last
SIX months probably tops that of
any amateur gave a slashing ex-
hibition against Seixas, who was
outsped and outmaneuvered.
Only in the opening set did
Seixas show superiority. In the
last three sets, Hartwig was in
full command all the way. In the
fourth set he ran through the first
four games with the loss of only
three points.
