Friday, March 18, 1966 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Page 5 F amntlerov I'm worried. Rumors have it that I'm to be fired and replaced by some unknown by the name of Sebastian. All I'd like to know is, who's going to fire me? You see ballfans, this kid is his own boss. Sure, pa pers can refuse to print my column. But you know and I know that in so doing they'd be throwing all their readership right out the window. I'm worried for a different reason. Today I face the supreme test of my career. All week I've been here at College Park, Maryland. All week I've hung around camera crews and NCAA of ficials trying to find out information about tonight's games. See, I have this string going. Seven for seven in the ACC tourney. I'd kind of like to close out the basket ball season with four more correct picks. But it's really tough. I've been flipping coins all week. I even dressed up as an old lady and sneaked around to local motels reading the palms of sleeping players. Most of the people around here are going with Kentucky over Texas Western in the championship game. They predict close games tonight, but they're sure of the outcome. I'm not so sure. Last night I sacked out hoping for some edifying vision to seep into one of my dreams. But some guy in the next room had a TV turned up to a glass shattering level. For the first time in my life my confidence is really shook. To tell the truth ballfans, I just can't be sure who is going to win. However, I've been watching Duke all year. They play up to the standard of the competition and they refuse to choke. Pick DUKE. So I guess I'm out on a limb. The next question is, who will face Duke in the final game tomorrow night? I'm betting on Texas Western. - Now that I've made up my mind my confidence is flowing back to me. I haven't flipped my lid, ball fans. DUKE over Kentucky and TEXAS WESTERN over Utah. Then Duke will beat Western and Kentucky will beat Utah and that will be that. See if I'm wrong. If I am I'll step down from my throne and Sebastain can take over. But I'm not worried (much) .

Rabb is beginning his 10th season as head coach at UNC, and Talbott hopes to duplicate or im prove on last year's totals, when he batted .362 with 24 RBI. By SANDY TREADWELL DTH Sports Writer The Tar Heels journey to Greenville today to face East Carolina College in the sea son's opener. An old hackneyed phrase says that "ya' can't win 'em all unless ya win the first one," and the first one looks pretty tough.

On Tuesday, Med White de feated Med Yellow. sophomore forward who aver ages in double figures, re bounds well, and does a good job defensively. Unfortunately, he suffered a pulled tendon against Oregon State and may not be at full strength. Jeff Ockel, 6'7 sophomore, replaced Fisher and provided the spark in the regionals. Against University of Pacific's high-scoring Keith Swagerty, he scored 10 points and check ed Swagerty at 16. More im portant, Ockel, a 225 pounder, held his own on the boards with the nation's third leading rebounder. Ockel has appeared in all of the Redskins' games and carries a 7.0 average. Sophomore guard Mervin Jackson, 6'2, is the potential , energy in Utah's attack. Jack son threw in 19 against UNC, several on spectacular "stuffs." ! A great leaper, Jackson must play to his potential if the ' Utes are to take the crown. Richard Tate, 5'11 senior guard, is the key to the Utes' attack. He directs the offense and alerts the defense, A fine -outside shooter (12.5), Tate is a flawless ball-handler and pin point passer. His size, 180, makes him tough in close sit uations. Tate's denfese of Tex as Western's Bobby Joe Hill will be vital to the outcome. .; The most dominating player 1 in the tourney will be 6'4 sen-j ior Jerry Chambers. At 27.7, 1 Chambers finished tenth among the nation's scorers. His 73 points in the Far-West Region als (2 games) lifted his over all average to 28.3. More than a great shooter, 56 per cent from the floor, Chambers gath ers in 11.9 rebounds per game and plays a ferocious denfese. Another great leaper, Cham bers was Player of the Year in the Western Athletic Confer ence and earned MVP in the regionals. Jerry, who needs 69 points at College Park to sur pass the four-game tourney mark of 141 set by Clyde Love lette of Kansas in 1952, hails from Washington, D. C. Al though overlooked by selectors of Ail-American teams, Cham bers has been looked-over by pro scouts. Utah loves to run and shoot and tallied triple-digits eleven times this season. The Redskins hit their high mark with 131 against New Mexico State. Utah connects on 48 per cent of their field goal attempts. If the sophomores continue to blend with Tate and Chambers, Utah could keep the NCAA crown in the West. UJ it n Z. 3a " 5 (A w 2 P 3 CD LU f U H o o.
