North Carolina State Upset By Duke Quintet NEW YORK (INS) — Time and Duke having caught up with North J Carolina State, Dayton no* i» breathing hot down San Franetaco’e neck in the race for the National Collegiate Basketball title. The Dons, who hope to equal the sport’s all-time record of 39 straight victories by Friday, are ranked the country's No. 1 team for the fifth consecutive week. But Internationa) News Service's latest nationwide survey finds similarly unbeaten Dayton in second place and North Carolina State dropped to third. WhilQ the Dons eat idle and skyscraping Dayton blasted lona, the Wolfpack got caught in a wave of upsets which washed lowa State and George Washington out of the “top ten” and which sent North Carolina skidding to tenth place. The nation's second longest winning streak, 23 straight went down the drain Saturday when Duke, which jumped- from 17th to ninth place as a result, upset the Wolfpack, 68 to 58. With high scoring forward Vic Molodet sidelined by a virus infection. State trailed by a 27-to-20 score at the half and wound up hopelessly behind by the end of the third quarter. It was State’s first setback in 12 games this season and the ninth win in 11 starts for the Blue Devils. Dayton, which had beaten Duquesne earlier in the week, ran its skein to 11-0 by downing lona, 83 to 61. Seven-foot Bill Uhl helped Flyers into the runnerup spot with 26 points and a record 26 rebounds. The Dons made Pepperdine their 11 th victim of the season Friday and can tie college basketball’s longest win streak — set by Long Island U. In 1935-37 and matched by Seton Hall in 1939-41—by beating Santa Clara Tuesday and Fresno State Friday. The rest of the order this week goes like this: 4—Vanderbilt (9-1), s—lndiana5 —Indiana (8-1). 6 —Kentucky (72), 7—Temple (8-0), B—Ohio State (74). 9—Duke (9-2), Iff-North Carolina (8-2), 11 —Holy Cross (92). 12—Xavier of Ohio (8-1), 13— SMU (12-2), 14—Illinois (7-1), 15— lowa State (8-2), 16—Seton Hall (10-1), 17—St. Louis (8-2), 13rLoulsvllle (104). 19 — Brigham Young (9-3), 20 —Rice (11-2).

Jim Tatum Accepts North Carolina Post COLLEGE PARK, Md. (INS) — Coah Jim Tatum is leaving the University of Maryland "like an ol’ br’er rabbit goin’ back to the rabbit patch” to make North Carolina a major football power once again. Tatum, whose ten-year record at Maryland stands as the best in the nation, gave up a promise of lifetime tenure in College Park in favor of a 10-year-contract at Carolina—at a amaller salary. At least that was the official report. At Maryland, his 10-year record was 73 wins. 15 losses, one tie — plus five bowl games, three undefeated seasons and one national championship. It was marred only by Orange Bowl defeats at the hands of Bud Wilkinson’s Oklahoma Sooners in 1954 and again this year. He was paid $17,000 a year, plus an expense account He also made various TV, radio and lecture appearances for cash. North Carolina was understood to offer only $15,000 plus the added sidelinea. . Tatum, who takes on his. new job Jan. 31. contended that the reason he was returning to his alma mater at Chapel Hili — where he coached in 1942 — was because of concern over his family. He also said he was finding burdensome the combined job of football coach and athletic director at Maryland, but declared, as he has before, that he had "the beet coaching job in America.'’ - However, he added: “Chapel Hill is a wonderful place to raise my three children. I figured this was my last opportunity to go home. My family is my big concern. “Os course, Washington is a nice place, too. and so are the people here, but it’s like an ol’ br’er rabbit going back to the rabbit patch.” Pro Basketball Saturday’s Results Fort Wayne 108, St. Louis 97.
