Beat TerpsCampaign
Pays Off for Virginia
III ACC Tournament

III ACC Tournament
tcontinued From Page c-1J
terday drew 1900 and the night
twin bill 1850.
For Maryland, 1t was a sad
ending to what had promised to
be the schools finest basketball
season. After beating N. C. State
at College Park. Maryland had
a nine-game winning streak and
was 1872 for the season. But
George Washington broke the
streak and then Frank Fuqua was
declared ineligible. The Terps
won only four out of nine after
losing Fuqua.
Overtime Jinx for Terps.
1t was the third straight year
Maryland has bowed out here in
overtime. They lost to Wake
Forest in the last Southern Con-
ference tournament and to the
Deacons again last year in extra
periods.
1t was a great victory for Vir-
ginia, the team that will have
the honor Of playing the dedica-
ton game in Maryland's 1880
capacity fieldhouse next year.
The Cavaliers twice had used
the zone defense against Mary
land in absorbing 1860 and 78-
IS defeats from the Terps during
the year. In fact, the last time
the teams played Maryland led
AIT at halftime.
Ten days ago Coach Bus Male
started on the beat-Maryland
campaign. Wilkinson. the Ma
tion's second leading scorer, was
told his man would be Bob
Kessler. Maryland's f1ashy high
scorer. Wilkinson was i'll with
the flu at the time, but he took
to the assignment, even though
1t was believed he would be sacri-
flcing some of his scoring.
Kessler Held to 7 Points.
Buzz tied Kessler in knots.
Bob made the first basket of the
game and his next one came 20
minutes later. He scored only 7
points for the night. Kessler
started playing Wilkinson instead
Of team game. and Buzz was
aided by his teammates-Who
rode Kessler from the bench.
But Wilkinson. a great stop
and-go man, didn't confine his
talents to defense. He poured in
80 points, making 10 of his %
shots. and near the end of the
game and for most of the over
time he and Bill Miller were
staging two-man freeze.
Virginia was the solid crowd
choice. one reason being the
Duke supporters were roofing
for the Cavaliers. The Blue
Devils believe they own Virginia.
but they didn't want any part
Of Maryland. The Terps beat
them at College Park.
Duke, which had little more
than a workout against South
Carolina, is bigger than Vir-
ginia. can outrun the Cavaliers,
has more bench strength, and
Virginia hardly will have the
same incentive. 1t won the big
one. In the tournament first
round here last year and in both
regular season games Duke ran
away with the Cavaliers.
The Wake Forest-North Caro-
lima game was the next best one
Of the day: The Deacons, who
played three overtime games
here last year. losing to N. C.
State in the final. hit on SO per
cent of their shots. Hemric was
as valuable as ever but Lefty
Davis 33 points were the big
dfnerence. Lenny Rosenbluth
of the Tar Heels made 20 but he
" asbadly outplayed by Hemric
The biggest hand of the night
was for outmanned Clemson,
which was 26 points back of
N. c. State at one time but cut
the margin to eight on the
combination of hot streak and
N. c. States lackadasical play.
Bill Marlborough of Clemson was
high for the game with "a
points, most of them from out
side

New Immunity RuIinq

The Supreme Courts 6-to-2 ruling in
the contempt case of New York City
policeman will be read with interest by
Federal officials concerned with enforce
ment of the new Federal immunity statute.
A challenge of the constitutionality of the
Federal act is before the high tribunal
in the Ullman case, recently decided in
favor of the Government by the Second
Circuit Court of Appeals. While the cases
involve different circumstances and diff
ferent Estate and FederaD immunity laws,
the reasoning of the Supreme Court in the
New York case may throw some light on
the majority's thinking on the broad ques-
ton of immunity and the Fifth Amend
ment.
The pending Ullman case grew out of
the refusal of William Ullman, former Air
Force officer, to testify before Federal
grand jury, although he had been granted
immunity from Standardization under
recently enacted legislation. The appellate
court upheld the constitutionality of the
new law. In the New York action, for
mer detective who could have obtained
immunity under a State law, but signed
a waiver IlSJSdu, was COIlVlCCcu Va VI
contempt for refusing to testify before
State grand Jury investigating police as
ISOLATION with gamblers. Under rules Of
the New York Police Department, the
officer could have been fired for failing to
sign waiver of immunity. The officer
charged the waiver was signed under "a
pattern of duress and misunderstanding"
He claimed protection of the Fifth Amend
ment for his refusal to testify.
But the court majority justices Black
and Douglas dissenting) held that, whether
or not the waiver was valid, the policeman
was required to testify before the grand
jury. Said Justice Reed for the majority:
1.-The immunity statute is crucial in this
case because it removed any possible justi-
fication which the petitioner had for not
testifying. If the petitioner had not
executed waiver of immunity, it is clear
beyond dispute that he would have had
to testify; the statute would have provided
him with immunity from prosecution on
the matters on which his testimony was
sought and thus his testimony could not
possibly have been self-incriminatory."
There was no waiver issue in the Ullman
case-only the repeated refusal Of the
former Air Force officer to tell the grand
jury what, If anything, he knew about the
operations Of a wartime spy ring.
