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

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.
