t i . t In Process Of Moldliim meed Team Backfield A Question Mark By PETE GAMMONS Asst. Sports Editor After losing more than 29 play ers by graduation, football coach Jim Hickey has his work cut out for him to organize an inexperi enced team in the short spring practice session. "Although we haven't gone into too much detail thus far," said Hickey, "I think things are going very well. Right now we are try ing to get people lined up as to where they'll play." When practice started a week ago there were 88 candidates, but the number has now dwindled to" 81. It appears that his biggest job will be to replace the four back field starters, all of whom grad uate in June. Since Danny Talbott is out for baseball he is using Jeff Beaver, Tim Karrs and Jimmy Byrd at quarterback. They should, as should Bud Phillips, Bill Edwards and Alan McArthur at wingback, have no problem filling the shoes of the seniors. However replacing Ken Willard C- .

Max Chapman appears to have the inside track on Wil lard's job, " but Hickey hopes to get a good look at sophomore red shirts Tom Lampman and Jim Fortune. Unfortunately both have been slowed by injuries. Lamp man was hurt the first day and re- joined the team yesterday, while Fortune, who has been crippled by a knee injury ever since he came here, pulled a hamstring muscle. Hank Barden, Leon Fonvielle and Melvin Estes are being tried at fullback. "We tried Charlie Davis there, but we think he'll contribute more to the offense at guard," said Hickey. Injuries have also complicated work with the tight ends. Both John Atherton and Jim Harring ton have been reduced to work ing out in sweat clothes, although they should be ready next fall. Bob Hume, a defensive end, is playing baseball, but Bo Weed and Steve Lister are back aided by freshman Jom Sheehan.

Darnall is also try ing at defensive back. "We are undecided as yet about offensive tackle," con tinued Hickey. "Sophomores Chuck Alexander and Lee Davis played some last year, but we have three or four big strong freshman with excellent po tential like Marc Greenberg, Ev Cowan and a couple oth ers." The defensive tackle situation shows a little more experience with Joe Churchill, Henry Sad ler, Ray Meador and Pat Shea. Despite the loss of Richie Zarro and Clint Eudy the guards should be "pretty good." John Harmon and Dave Erimias, both of whom played tackle last year, will return to their natural positions, and Charlie Davis and Pat Jessup will join them. Defensive middle guard will be strong, with Joe Frat angelo, Ronnie Kaplan and Dun can Fisher.

The situation this season is different from last year's be tate's Wolfpack Defeated 66 - 48 Bill Jarman Leads Kenny B 's To Win By BILL LEE . DTH Sports Writer The Med School II Kennie B's, led by Bill Jarman's shooting and rebounding, eliminated the NROTC Admirals from grad uate play-offs Thursday by a score of 52-40. Jarman led the scoring for the doctors with seventeen points, but it was his rebound ing which broke the backs of Navy's fast break. The Ad mirals, rated as the. best out side shooting team, had to re sort to the fast game when their shooting failed them in the first half. Their cold spell enabled the Med School to build up a 23-12 half-time lead, and the Navy couldn't narrow the margin to any less than four in the sec ond half. Tom Koontz added 11 points for the Kennie B's who earned a finals position against the Peacocks. Leading the. losers was Sam Archer with 12 points The Winston Duds came from behind to whip the.Teague Tro jans 46-35 on a 19 point effort by Brad Munday. Teague built up a 22-14 half-time lead, but went completely cold in the second. The Duds took over when the Trojans slumped, and outscored Teague 32-14 in . the second half. Aiding in the comeback was Bill Davis with 12 points. The victory earned Winston the right to meet the Craige Mavericks for the White Dorm championship. ATO earned a finals spot in jlMTEBS . .

"Sure there's a slightly differ ent attitude," said Hickey, iJBut we're not awed by the schedule. We. just make ready for the season and try to conquer what problems we have." Right now there are many questions marks which may not be answered until the Alumni, the Michigan or even the Duke game. Only time will tell. the Fraternity White division as they easily beat DKE 36-19. Stu Ellington led ATO with 13, as they jumped off to an early lefcd and held it all the way. The half-time score was 11-4, but a rash of fifteen fouls by the Dekes and fifteen foul shots by ATO ended in the run-away. The winners will meet Phi Delt 2 for the championship. Women's Intramurals In Women's intramural bas ketball action, Kenan defeated Whitehead I 50-32. Linda Brown paced the grads with 16 points while Carlton Cann was the leader for Whitehead with 10.

On one wall is the layout of the Finley Golf Course. On a table are plans for the new addition to the gymnasimu. Across the room are two samples of the pale blue seats which will fill that gym. His desk is cluttered with papers and notebooks. . 1 s 4 . ERICKSON " Erickson is short and stocky, looking perhaps like a tackle of the i930's. He, is a personable, sincere man who likes to ramble on about the past and the future of Caro lina athletics. "We're having growing pains," he said, referring to the speed with which the University is build ing and expanding. "We've lost a lot of our." tennis courts and this will be the last season for the baseball field." He said he is working to have both the courts and the diamond replaced as soon as possible. "Receipts from the football games," he said, "will have to pay for the athletic advancements. We've got to schedule these big teams to produce the revenue needed for the program. "We'll get about $94,000 from playing Ohio State. It would take about seven South Carolina games to make that much money. These games are scheduled years in advance.

He said the present gymnasium is too small to hold enough peo ple to bring a profit. "Every time we put those stands up and take them down it costs us about $500," he said. "That's why I've got to schedule maybe three games here close together, then several away." Referring to the "big time" sports label that some think UNC should have, Erickson said " 'big time means only how many peo ple are interested. You could have ' the Baltimore Colts play the New ork Giants in Kenan Stadium without any advance publicity and that wouldn't be big time." -He knows that Carolina cannot become as athletically develop ed as some schools because of the scholastic requirements. "Here the boys have to be smarter to get in," he said. "Other schools with fewer re strictions might have a more militant athletic program. Schools with lower academic standards don't make it so hard to get in." Although he realizes that the high academic requirements at Carolina cost him some fine athletics, he is far from bitter about the situation. "We may lose a good boy because he can't make the grade on the boards," ( he said. "But I wouldn't want the scholastic standards here drqpped for anything." He does feel, however, that this i intelligence among athletes may j psychologically hinder them in preparing for a game. 'The boys are smart," he said. They are hard to fool. They read the pap ers. "You can tell them 'this will be the toughest game you'll ever play,' but inside they don't be lieve it. You have to have some thing to back it up with. It's tougher to play Virginia than Duke. "Getting a team up for an unimportant game is inspiration at a lower level," he said. He added i rrniini ic not the only lildl vatviuiu - , school to experience letdowns. ..

"I know a lot of people say that Hickey and Smith are poor coaches, but that's not true," Erickson said. "The coaches will always try their best to get a team ready, but we're not dealing with robots. It's a combination of things that get a team up for a game.
