..I 1 is - a S 1 E 1 b 4. a L17.i 1 Sandy Treadwe 11 Often it's not how much you lose by but who beats you that's most significant. The Tar Heels trailed at halftime in Lexington, Kentucky last Saturday by seven points. When the gun sounded thirty football minutes later they'd lost their first game of the season by a final score of 10-0. That score wouldn't have looked so bad a few weeks from now on a scoreboard in South Bend. But the Tar Heels weren't playing in Indiana last Saturday night. And they didn't lose to the Irish of Notre Dame. They lost to the Wildcats of Kentucky. Kentucky was ranked ninth in the Southeastern , Conference. The Wildcats were inexperienced both of fensively and defensively. They went into the game with an inexperienced quarterback standing behind a line of sophomores who'd never played against col lege competition. IT DIDN'T WORK OUT THAT WAY Coach Charlie Bradshaw wasn't exactly looking forward to the game. "We have the utmost respect for North Carolina," he said. "We'll have to play our best brand of football to contend with them." t It didn't work out that way. :: The Tar Heels just couldn't get started. They ran the ball up the middle and got nowehre. And when they tried to pass to keep Kentucky's secondary hon est they got nowhere. jx The Wildcat's defense was tough. The gang tac kled and hit hard and time after time made Carolina give up the ball. ;i In the second half Carolina began to drive. They had a good chance to score, and just when a touch down seemed inevitable they were driven back. ':: And when it was all over the noise started back in Chapel Hill the noise started where it left off last year. "IT JUST WASN'T OUR NIGHT" The noise is louder now because the expectations of Carolina's supporters were high too high, ic And the noise is pointed at one man rather than at football team. The sporatic hate Hickey campaign starts all over again. :: It's too early for the noise to start. If you listened to the game on radio or if you hap pened to have a seat in Stoll Field the chances are you agree that your team had a bad night. And if you've thought about it, maybe you realize that if a team's going to have a game when just about everything goes wrong it ought to be the first of the season. . . Notfv&opefuUyrtf m ' a- 11 1 footoan team. At Kenan Stadium this Saturday the holes should .nor, ,in for the running backs. The passes should find the targets and numbers should start mounting up on the home team's side of the scoreboard. And until then the noise continues.

By BOB ORR DTH Assistant Sports Editor Once upon a time 47 foot ball players, their coaches, trainers, managers, the ath letic director, the chancellor, four boy cherleaders, a few alumni arid some sportswriters boarded a beautiful airplane.

There was JII no excitement running through . our ranks. Things didn't work -y right. . k . And across the way the cheering section went wild as a blue clad player suppea uuu the end zone. The big scor- board rang up sven pomts. And soon the minutes had ticked away and the score board read, Kentucky 10 - Vis itors 0. And the clock hhow ed only seconds remaining and then one. ThR rest had to stay behind due to lack of space on the plane and in the motel. At tending the game were head cheerleader Dick Starnes, Jim ; mie Womack, Ray Lyles, and Bob Gardner. Larry Rhodeman decided at the last minute to go, so he , drove up there. That's a long trip just to let the players know that you're behind. them -' As soon as the cheerleaders got into their room, they na turally turned on the radio. Five minutes later Starnes was talking to a DJ who in vited him to call back at 10:30 to tell all the listeners about the Tar Heels. You have to know Dick to appreciate him. Enthusiasm is a trademark. Before the con ersation had ended he had told the radio audince to be prepared for defeat not only ifl football but also in basketball. As he later said, "It never pntered mv mind that . w e moment' hesitation Dick re plied, "Well I-ZIGGA-ZOOM-BA is one of our big ones." After a quiet Friday night of hanging banners the cheer leaders embarked on what was suppose to be the big night. The four boys attended an alumni reception that after noon encouraging everyody to come out and yell the Tar Heels1 to victory- r -' ' , 4f, It was four very disappoint ed boys who put aside all plans for an after game par ty and dejectedly trukiged back to their rooms.
