The Tar Heel Friday, May 24, 1S74 A CC mile champion o 4 m nun I i if i allnjio by Bill Kay Sports Editor One of the nation's most respected and talked about collegiate athletes returns to action this coming Saturday. Tony Waldrop, premier miler of the track world, heads a demanding field when he runs in the California Relays at Modesto, Calif.. The Relays annually draws the top trackmen on the West Coast and also attracts most of the other top performers across the country. To no one's surprise, Waldrop is the headline feature of the event and everyone will be trying to defeat one of the most successful runners in track history. Waldrop's most recent win came in the Atlantic Coast Conference Championships held last Tuesday in Chapel Hill. Although weakened by a chest cold, Tony showed his hometown faithfuls why he's the best as he sprinted past Duke's Steve Wheeler in the race's last 220 yards for a winning time of 3:59.8. 7L mmmTm shots at UNC Staff photo by Stow Oaris Tcnv VIdrop In Atlantic Coast Conferonco:rnilo,co,mpetitlon UNIVERSITY OPTICIANS ; DCM REGISTER St STAFF Reg.

Described by UNC basketball coach Dean Smith as "an intense competitor, along the lines of a George Karl", Carolina has signed its second grant-in-aid basketball player for next season. Tom Zaliagiris, 6-5 swingman from Tommy Lagarde's alma-mater Detroit Catholic Central High has become the second player along with Rocky Mount's standout Phil Ford to receive a basketball scholarship from the University of North Carolina. "Credit belongs to Tommy Lagarde.' Smith says. "He's the one who's been telling Tom about Carolina all year. .Lagarde is happy with the Carolina situation and he didn't ; see why Join couldn't fir right in.

Goaded by the sneers and skepticism of his nanow-minded colleagues, Dr. Shatterly was soon confronted with an astounding discovery: THAT WHEN A FINELY POWDERED BLEND OF SELECT TOBACCOS WAS COMBINED WITH SUCH PURE ESSENTIAL OILS AS ATTAR OF ROSE BERGAMOT, MENTHOL AND EUCALYPTUS, A NEW AND MYSTIFYING SUBSTANCE OF INVIGORATING QUALITIES WAS CREATED! Ceremoniously dubbing his triumph "my secret sniffing snuff," Dr. Shatterly pressed on as would a man possessed to perfect the formula making secretive notations and speaking to no one save himself. Then at last arrived the moment of truth. Taking a small measured pinch of the pungent, mind-boggling powder between his tired, trembling fingers, the good doctor held it momentarily under his proud nose. Then sniffing quickly and deeply with both nostrils, he intoned loudly: "Let my toad-brained colleagues at the University scoff at me now!!!" The rest is history. Today, thanks to a band of dedicated followers, Dr. Shatterly 's Secret Sniffing Snuff has been carefully preserved in its original unaltered form for those who dare seek its pleasure - And so, a word to the adventurous: if your mind seeks new nourishment ... if you say "Fie!!!" to those who insist that there are some doors that man was not meant to open ... if you, like Dr. Shatterly, are steadfastly convinced that the way to a person's head is through his nose . . . then perhaps, just perhaps, you too are ready to experience the unique stimulation, invigoration and gratification that only Dr. Shatterly s . And there is but one way to find out. Heh.Heh.Heh.

He is an excellent student and competitor." Smith first saw Zal as a junior while he was scouting Tommy Lagarde in Detroit. "Carolina doesn't usually go as far for most players as other schools do," Smith said. "3ut after recruiting Lagarde we thought we were making a good decision." Zal could be a sleeper as he didn't make A!l-American in high school but is described by his coach, Bernie Holowicki, as "one heck of a competitor." Zaliagiris, in addition to 22 points, 12 rebounds and awesome defensive responsibilities, managed five steals a game and eiht assists. -He was forced to play center this year on defense arid combat 6-10 centers since Lagarde had left. Central was expected to fall flat on its face after the departure of Lagarde but Zal picked up the slack and the team finished with 19 wins and only three losses. "I don't know whether I could call myself an all-around player," Zal said, "but that's the way I like to think of myself. 1 visited UNC on the weekend of May 5-6, and I decided to sign with Coach Smith because 1 think he is the best basketball coach in America." Zaliagiris has been described as a great competitor, an exceptional student and a terrific leader. At times he's so competitive he's violent. THE GOOD TIMES PLACE IN CHAPEL HILL I rn !.

Smith emphasized that Zal is the Carolina type-team oriented player and is impressed with his competitive drive. "We think that Tom has all the tangible skills such as passing, shooting, defense and rebounding to be a success in college, but more importantly, he possesses the intangibles much like George Karl in that he has a great competitive spirit and is truly a team player," Smith said. Coach Smith continued, "When I saw him as a junior I could tell he possesses that inner quality of a leader as he displayed an intense desire to 'wjn." t;.:v.:.''';'r , - With the addition- of Tom Zaliagiris, Carolina will have depth in the backcourt along with Hoffman, Kuester, Ford, Harrison and some junior varsity standouts. - Smith doesn't expect Zal to move right in to a starting berth but is optimistic that his addition will add depth not only to the backcourt but the frontcourt as well, much in the same way Walter Davis is doubling how. Asked about the range of talent that he has available to him. especially in the backcourt. Smith merely said, "We have very good talent as does everyone in the ACC." That is precisely the problem, but then again in Coach Smith's words, "next year should be a very interesting one." "People will never know how really sick Tony was at the ACC meet "Tar Heel Coach Joe Hilton said. "I don't believe he would have even attempted to run the race had it not been here in Chapel Hill. "It is amazing that he was even able to run. It is unbelievable that he broke four minutes." Waldrop, record breaking UNC senior, will be shooting for his 10th consecutive victory in the mile this year when he takes his position in the starting blocks in California. His previous nine wins have all come in less than four minutes. Seven of those victories were indoors. 11 Straight Counting his last two races of the 1 973 season, Waldrop has now run 1 1 straight sub-four minute miles, a feat never before achieved in the track world. Besides his convincing victory in the ACC Championships, his only other outdoor mile this year was a 3:53.2 clocking in the Penn Relays. Only the inconsistent Jim Ryun, who holds the world outdoor record at 3:51. 1, has ever run the milefaster than that. Waldrop is expecting another tough race Saturday. "I'm not really sure who will be in the race, but I do know that the field will be a strong one," Waldrop said. "I'm just glad I've got a few days to rest and get rid of this cold." Waldrop Modest As usual, Waldrop is modest about his chances of breaking the four-minute barrier again. "My only goal in each race is to win," he says. "Of course, I would like to break four minutes if I could. But that's not really important. 1 just hope l can run well enough to win," he concluded. The race at Modesto Saturday is one of three left in Waldrop's sensational Tar Heel career. He will also compete in the NCAA Championship in the important meet at the University of Texas on June 6-7-8, and the AAU Championships in June.
