This is the time of year when
people count up the big ten" stories
of the year, and it's interesting to note
that disaster, glowing accomplishment
in science, transcendant political up
heaval and like deeds or accidents of
nature are usually near the top.
There are national big stories, and
there are statewide big stories, and 10
cal big stories.
1t would be possible, also, for each
individual, or each family group, to
make up his own list of the top stories
of 1868. Such list would often be quite
different from the stories we see in the
papers--for conspicuously mentioned
would be the birth of a grandchild, or
the final payment on a mortage, or a
two-weeks personal illness, or an opera

the feeling that this years Tar Heels

to that group.
Losses such as these, you may say,

respectable 18 won, lost record. And
maybe you're right; for certainly this
years young squad will take some beat
ings. But this team is different from
the great 1857 team of Rosenbuth,
Quigg, Brennan, Kearns and Cunning
ham in that there is no standout star
such as Rosenbluth upon whom you can
depend to pull your team out of the
hole.
And yet, it is sometimes better to
have five men who are good scorers
than to rely on one man who is a great
scorer, such as Rosenbluth was. One
reason is obvious: If your scorer goes
out of the game or can't start, then
you're in trouble. Other reasons are
that five men are harder to defense than
one, and one which is impotant but not

We might write down an account of
the most insignificant" or most trivi-
all events of 1868, or we might jot on
a sheet of paper the most rountine, or
average or repetitious of events, such
as PTA meetings, reports of streets
that are paved, court dockets, basket
ball upsets, and Junior Chamber of Com

OF one thing we can be sure the big
stories of 1858 will assuredly be follow

TV and Newspapers

Next Sunday, for the first time in
almost month. Chapel Hill people will
be able to get their Sunday New York
Times.
The STRIKE Of delivery men is over,
and the New York newspapers which
have been denied to their subscribers,
will again be available.
1t was interesting to note the need-
ing announcement of National Broad
casting Company commentator Chet
Huntley the other night when he re-
vealed on his broadcast that the strike
was nearly over and that the newspap-
ers would re-commence publication
Mr. HuntIey INDUCED his talent for
humorous satire His words put in the
form Of prediction were something
like this After the New York newspap-
ers again begin publication, the editors
will assign their best writer's to pen
an article welcoming themselves back,
say how much they have been missed,
declare that no other medium Of news
gathering has been able to take their
place because only the newspapers can
give the news in breadth and depth, and
that no other medium can compare in
effectiveness.
Perhaps Mr.. Huntley's humor will
be lost on New York publishers who
have dropped millions Of dollars in
Christmas advertising the past 20 days.
Certainly the tongue-in-cheek predic
tion struck the newspapers when they
were down Possibly there is more to
the New York television-newspaper
feud with regard TO newsgathering than
meets the eye from this distance
Nevertheless, despite Mr.. Huntley's
spoofing at the expense Of the press,
what he predicted the newspapers will
say is just about right. And they will
say it because it is true.
The fifteen or twenty minutes a
day of listening and watching the news
over television (Which necessarily fea-
lures the briefest highlights- very
well done) cannot serve the publc's
curiosity and need for news that the
daily newspaper is equipped to supply.
II is too bad that it takes a national
strike to reveal a need The recent air
line strike pointed up the reliance we
have come to place on aviation trans
portation Several years ago when the
railroads were tied up with national
strike, it was clearly shown how eco
nomic life as we know it can quickly
come TO grinding halt in a few days
if the trains are stopped. The public
suffered from effects Of recent bus
strikes.
This is not a criticism Of strikes or
strikers. 1t is only to say that in our
complex society, in competition and
alternative means of communication
and transportation, each public institu
ton has assumed its own vital role in
the minds and needs of the people.
The newspapers are here to stay. So
is television. The public will hail the
values and particular worth Of each
medium, and enjoy the friendly digs,
even though the New York publishers
and working newsmen may not at this
moment have full appreciation of the
joviality.

Now and Then
By Bill Prouty

quite SO obvious, is that it's more fun
for everybody to score than it is to de-
pend on one man
And that's the kind of personnel
Carolina has this year-seyen men who
will score in the double figures if they
stay in the game long enough. A squad
that's fast and likes to pass the ball
around and likes to 90 up for rebounds,
squad whose only real weakness is in
experience.
At the present Cardinals first team
Is still not finally established; but after
five wins in as many games for the
year to date, it would seem that Dick
.Kepley is fixture at center and that
Lee Shaffer is set at one forward spot
and Harvey Salz will be one of the
starting guards. Through the first five
contests, Capt. Danny Lotz has been
starting at the forward with Shaffer
while Ray Stanley, York Larese and
Doug Moe have been used alternately
IN the other back court spot along with
Salz.
These are the seven who will play
the most, but there may be many
changes and experimentation by
Coaches Frank Mcclure and Dean
Smith before the season is over. Lotz
Is the only senior, while Kepley, Shaf-
fer, Salz and Stanley are Juniors.
Larese and Moe are S6phomores.
Capable substitutes will be John
Crotty, Gehrmann Holland, Grey Poole
Lou Brown and Hugh Donohue, the
latter two being sophomores
To date the Tar Heels have beaten
Clemson, Virginia, South Carolina in
regular season games and Notre Dame
and Northwestern in the Kentucky
Festival Tournament at Louisville.
Their fine showing must be attributed
to their team play, to the improvement
in the shooting of Kepley and Shaffer
and the rebounding efforts of both and
in remarkable ball handling and outside
shooting of Salz, Larese and Moe.
1t would of course, be foolish to
predict at this time that the Tar Heels,
Dixie Classic champions for the past
two years, will repeat this year. 1t
would be little short of sensational for
such young team to win over teams
such as senior-loaded squads of Gin
cinnati, Michigan State and N. C. State
College.
But no matter how the 1958-59 Tar
Heels come out in the Dixie Classic,
they'll be giving somebody trouble by
the end of the year. And they'll be pleas
ing the fans with their fast break and
clever passing attack. There may be
no super star, but there are seven good
basketball players playing for a good
basketball school. And that's what real
ly counts.
