. It was a mixed bag as
far as local collegiate
cage action went this
past week.
The biggest shocker
occurred in Chapel Hill
where Wake Forest con
tinued it's almost
magical way of beating
the Tar Heels on their
home floor. This time
Wake emerged on top of
a 55-48 score pulling
away in the closing
seconds. The win by the
Deacons deadlocked the
ACC race at the top
which is now a dogfight
between UNC, Virginia
and Wake Forest.
Oddly enough, UNC
lost on the very day that
Dean Smith predicted
that there would be no
undefeated collegiate
teams this season and the
ACC winner could have
as many as three defeats.
Saint Augustine's of
Raleigh continued it's
mastery of . NCCU's
Eagles in Durham last
Wednesday with a come
from behind 70-62 vic
tory before a lively
crowd. The Eagles held
as much as a 14-point
spread in the first half,
but saw it melt away in
the second through a
combination of cold
shooting and- Saint
Augustine's capitalizing
on Eagle miscues.
Duke continued to
amaze everyone by going
on the road and beating
a good . Clemson team
50-46. Clemson shot hor
ribly in the first half, hit
ting only six of 34 shots.
N.C. State and UNC
got back in the win col
umn on Saturday as
State edged -: East
Carolina 63-53 while
UNC journeyed to
Atlanta and beat
Georgia Tech 66-54.
This week the action
flares up tremendously
with several key games
on tap here in the local
area. .
UNC takes on Clem
son in Chapel Hill on
Wednesday followed by
the feud with N.C. State
on the Hill Saturday.
Virginia Siate comes
to Durham to play
NCCU on Wednesday.
Duke goes to
Meadowlands in New
Jersey to play Holy
Cross and returns home
on Saturday to .take on
Big Ralph and his
Virginia teammates.
State plays Georgia

day and battles UNC on

As I watched the San

celebrate their team's
victory in the Super Bowl
and later heard about the
Cincinnati fans who

Holmes place team back home, 1
'felt like slithering away
and going into hiding. It
w'asi then that I
remembered that 1 had
predicted nothing good
for either team, when 1
made; my NFL predic
tions last August!
If you remember, at
that time I said "San
Francisco will still be San
Francisco, Yuk!" and
promptly picked them to
finish last in the NFC
West! I predicted a
similar . fatc for the
Bengals in the AFC Cen
tral , , (How
embarrassing!). '
My only reprieve is
, that no other forecaster
picked either team for
the big One ( whew!).
It goes to show that

the best laid, plans etc.

. As 1 said before, it was
good to have new faces .
in the NFL's showcase
game and while it wasn't
the best ever Super Bowl,
it was entertaining and it .
was definitely better than
last year's snoozer.
I thought CBS did a
tremendous job on
camera work and, the an
nouncers were good (I
didn't watch the ninety
minute prc-Super Show, .
thank goodness!).
The 49crs arid the
Bengals proved to be the 1
NFL's best in 1981 (sorry
Dallas fans, the. Nihcrs
beat you twice and the.
last time your team made
the Super Bowl they lost)
and they more than
deserved to be there. ' :
While people !in the

victory and Bengal fans
