Caiclna deferds his iniividurl Eacn of tho eicht .UY By BILL ROLLINS DTI I Sports Writer It was e:rly n the spring, Carolina hid play.d four base Sail games, ar i Coach Walter Kabb was still Ap.rimenting with his ptchins staff. But George McRae, a strap ping 6-3, 20J-f.ounJ sophomore right -hander, had pitched to nary a batter in game compe tition. It was a pretty dismal time for George, but he could still smile and crack a joke. One day h2 was kicking around with Danny Talbott, and when the talk got around to pitching, George cracked, Danny, if he (Rabb) ever puts me in a game, I want you to show me where the mound is." around to pitching, George cracked, "Danny, if he (Rabb) ever puts me in a game, I want you to show me where the mound is." Th?y both laughed. But three weeks later, after McRae had made his fifth re lief appearance and blanked Maryland on two hits over eight innings for his second win, Talbott shook George's hand and said: "Hey, it looks like you've found that mound pretty good now!" And this time they both smiled. HAVE A SIGH GAB?? Let the Factory Trained mechanics at Crowell Little Ford diagnose and rem edy your troubles.

PHONE 942-3143 Because by then, the whole team knew that if a starting pitcher ever faltered, George would b? there to pick them up. And when Rabb has needed relkf for his starters, his cry of "let George do it," has not bsen one of dismay, but one of confidence, and all has gone well. Except once. That was when McRae work ed two innings against Con necticut during spring break and was pounded for a home run, double and single while yielding three earned runs. But that bleak day against the Uconns marked the start of something big for George and the Tar Heels. Because since then, this big, ruddy -complexioned guy they call "Swamp Fox" has simply stop ped letting opponents score wh?n hs's in the game. Almost. N. C. State did manage to score once against him, but it took the help of two UNC errors. And that unearned run is the only one McRae has al lowed since Connecticut. S2en games, 23 innings, no earned runs.

Danville Top ERA Since developing a virtual mastery of the opposition, George has lowered his earned- run-average to an ACC-leading 1.00 and upped his record to 4-0, good enough to tie for the conference lead in winning per centage. It is no coincidence that Car olina won 10 straight games and annexed the ACC cham pionship during McRae's stretch of brilliancs. Rather, as one observer noted, the big soph has been the "soul and heart's inspiration" of the pen nant drive. Heart of Drive That winning string started April 19, when George finish ed Danny Walker's 8-1 con quest of Duke with three in nings of one-hit pitching. And the conference crown was clinched when hi worked three perfect innings in relief of Beattie Leonared to get the 2-1 win over Virginia. In between thos3 two perfor mances was his eight-inning, two-hit stint against Maryland, which Gzorge insists is "the b?st pitching I've ever done." He has worked in seven of the 10 games in the win skein, gotten credit for the victory in three, and recorded the equi valent of a major league save" when he stopped a Clemson rally when the tying run at the plate in the 5-3 UNC win at Dsath Valley. Another interesting statistic is th3 .157 batting average to which he has limited opposing batters. The UNC staff's mark is a sparkling .zih. Figured in Rabb's Plans At the beginning of the sea- son, ueorge man t ngure mav he'd be very prominent in the pitching picture, but Coacn Rabb had a different view: "George had shown a lot of f t J promise as a iresnman, anu we were fairly certain ne could help us win some ball eames. Yes, we had planned to give him a very good look." Rabb looked cioseiy, iiKeu what he saw, and this is wnat h? said of his relief ace one day last week: "George has a good, smiting fast ball and just an average curve. But what makes him im pressive is that he can come into a game in any suuauon and throw strikes, with plenty on the ball. "He has a lot of poise, even more 'guts,' and he stands his ground and challenges every batter keeps 'em loose and usually makes them hit his pitch." McRae, who averaged 15-18 strikeouts per game for Rieg elwood's Acme-Delco High (near Wilmington), credits UNC graduate assistant coach Bill Haywood with developing what is now his best pitch. "Haywood showed me how to grip the ball to make it sink," George revealed, "and i FlppvT . i t v. t title and he and his Tar Heel mates seek to retain the team crown in the Atlantic Coast Conferencj Golf Tournament opening tomorrow.

It was the first tim3 anyone had ever tried to show me something nsw, and now the sinking fast ball is my most effective pitch. Shaw Provides Assist "Really," he continued, "I guess John Shaw (catcher) has been about as big a factor in my success this year as I have been myself. John lets you know he has complete con fidence in your ability, and wh?n he calls a pitch, you know he feels that you can throw it for a strike and he expscts it. I never shake off a sign any more, and if I put th? ball where John places his mitt, we'll stay out of trou ble" Likes Pressure How does George feel about his non - starting status? "I like to work under pres sure," he says, "because it makes me bear down more. It's good to relieve as long as I can s?e action pretty regular ly. I almost wasted away about a month ago when we got five straight complete games from our starters, but when the team's going good like that, it makes 'just warming up' a lot easier. Like any other pitcher, I want all th? work I can get." Ik.!,. - - - Want to be treated tike a man? Then Treat her like a lady with 4 rffl t. JvimiialuM ?
