O C gnoll Golf Club North Carolina Voted College Champions of Year by Coaches By NORMAN MILLER United Press Sport Writer New York 'U.f?) North Caro lina's "Yankee Tar Heels," who carry a spotless 27-0 record into the NCAA tournament this week, were voted the national college basketball champions for the 1956-57 regular season today by the United Press Board of Coaches. In their final ballot of the season, the 35 outstanding coaches whose ratings generally have become accepted as the most authoritative in the game selected North Carolina for the honor over twice-beaten Kansas. Twenty-six members of the United Press rating board voted the Tar Heels tops in the coun try, eight picked them second and one fourth. That gave coach-of-the-year Frank McGuire's men 339 out of a possible 350 points. Award on TV McGuire will receive the United Press championship tro phy for his team on Ed Sulli van's nationally-televised (CBS) program next Sunday flight. New York U.R North Carolina, just named today as tha nation's No. 1 team at the nd of the regular season by the United Press Board of Coaches mutt add five more wins to its glittering record in order to capture tha NCAA crown. If the Tar Heels can do it. ihty will also break tha all-time collegiate record of 29 straight victories in a sin gle season set by last year's NCAA champion, San Francisco. Kansas (21-2). the Big Seven champion which is favored to win the western NCAA playoffs, was runnerup in the final rat ings. North Carolina, with a squad that included nine players from the New York area imported to Dixie by Brooklyn-born Mc Guire, proved an exceptionally pressure-proof team. In sweep ing through an undefeated sea son, the Tar Heels played only nine games on their home court at Chapel Hill, N.C. 80-Point-Per-Game The 80-point-per-game aver age compiled by North Carolina this season was not high, com pared with other teams. But the Tar Heels' 65 point defensive average was enough to put them on the long end of the score in every game. All-America Len Rosenbluth and his teammates proved standout "clutch" play ers in the close games. The coaches, in pre-season se lections, accurately predicted five of the teams which eventu ally finished among the top 10. Kentucky pulled a big surprise by finishing third after winding up 14th in the pre-season ratings. Seattle also surprised the ex perts, placing fifth after being rated 39th before the campaign began. San Francisco wound up 21st after topping the final rat ings the past two years. Burgess Prefers Catching For Redlegs; Says Tebbetts 'Best1 By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor Tampa. Fla. (U.R) Stocky Smoky Burgess, flattered be cause other clubs are seeking him, hoped today he will be catching fcr the Cincinnati Red legs for years to come because "we have the best manager in baseball in Birdie Tebbetts." "I'd rather be a second-string catcher on the Redlegs than the first-stringer on another club," Burgess declared. He said he knew the Giants, among other teams, had made a bid for him. "But I understand that as soon as the other clubs mention the players they will give up for me. they get no further," he added. '"It's nice to know those other teams think well enough of me to keep after me. I'm not starting to pack my bags because I want to stay with the Redlegs as long as Birdie is manager." A Vital Cog Admitting that his chances of wofking regularly, as he prefers. are not bright because he ranks behind Ed Bailey, Burgess point- more injuries than any other po sition on a team, so in my book the No. 2 catcher is a vital cog." Appearing in 90 games, many of them only as a pinch hitter because Bailey was going so well both at bat and behind the plate. Burgess slumped to a .275 aver age in 1956. He hit .301 the sea son before when he caught reg ularly after being traded to Cin cinnati by the Phillies. Getting back to Tebbetts, Bur gess declared he was fortunate in that "I've always played for good managers, but none as good as Birdie." Says Pitching "Deep" "You know exactly where you stand with him," he added, "and there isn't a player on the club who doesn't back him 100 per cent. I've never seen a manager who can handle so many differ ent types of players as well as Birdie and I've never seen one either who could handle pitchers the way he does." On the subject of pitching, Burgess let out a blast "because every time I read something ed out that "in catching you get about our team, they say our O o waits: Wer Jl. track -x A ewcei L Skx .!er at. 3 515 522 i22 425 Sll 5 'tax.fi tet. i L as singer 593 C aVasamer 519 V. erinkl 493 C X'wa Ml ,r, ft-a.ua a exit F. t.

Tuesday. March 12. 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE Single Vote Prevented PCC Agreement on Athletic Aid Portland (U.R) The Oregon Journal says that only a single vote prevented the Pacific Coast Conference from reaching agree ment on an aid to athletes pro gram at its meeting a week ago. In an article by Hal Laman, executive sports editor, the Jour nal said Monday the PCC facul ty representatives agreed in principle to an aid program based on a sliding scale of liv ing costs. The Journal said the plan that missed gaining approval by a lone vote called for maximum aid of $110 a month at UCLA, USC, Stanford and California; $95 at Washington; $90 at Oregon State, Oregon and Washington State; and $85 at Idaho. Under the present system, an athlete can receive a maximum of $100 a month at all nine schools for 50 hours of work. "The biggest objection cen tered around the $110 figure for California and Stanford," La man's article said. "A general feeling indicated that these two schools should not be allowed quite as much as their south neighbors." Laman said indications were the scale for California and Stan ford would be trimmed. - Meanwhile, Al Masters, ath letic director at Stanford, denied that objections to the California and Stanford aid scale were the reason the aid program failed to pass. "We had a vote on the ath letic aid program," Masters said, "but the rates figured, for Cali fornia and Stanford were not the reasons it failed to carry." He declined to say what the reasons were. Greg Engelhard, athletic direc tor for California, refused to discuss the matter in detail.
