Lemcheomi At The
By SANDY TREADWELL
DTH Sports Editor
There's a room at the Pines
Restaurant where every Tues
i.day aftermoon in the fall
sportswriters from the state
gather to eat a buffet luncheon
with old friends and to listen
to a football coach.
The room itself never chang
es. Every Tuesday its small
bar is well stocked with chil
led beer. There is a long table
covered with a clean white
cloth. And on the table platt
ers of southern fried chicken,
sliced turkey, and potato salad
are laid out. Crossed swords
and huge improbable axes de
corate the panneled walls.
At twelve-thirty the writers
arrive. There's Charlie Har
vel from Channel 8 and Hev
ner from WCHL There's Jack
Horner from Durham and
broadcaster Bill Curry. And
there are writers from Raleigh
and Charlotte. All gather in
the same little room. They
talk -together about friends,
memories and football.
Always the setting is the
same. The room, the writers,
the talk. But the atmosphere
of the luncheon changes.
Two Tuesdays ago the same
group of writers ate the same
mi
1966
lunch and listened to the same
football coach.
It was the week after Carol
ina's Kentucky loss. During
lunch the writers sat uncom
fortably at their tables and
waited for Jim Hickey to begin.
The Coach got up from Triis
chair and walked to the center
of the room. He looked tired
and uneasy. He looked like he
wished he wasn't in the room
facing the press.
"I don't have a whole lot to
say. We played a bad ball
game." "Could you speak up, Jim,"
Chuck Erickson, Carolina's
Athletic Director said. "We
can hardly hear you back
here."
"I'm sorry. I've got a bad
sore throat. I'll do the best I
can. We had a bad night
against a real good defensive
team. That's about all I have
to say."
For the following fifteen
minutes Coach Hickey answer
ed questions. He explained
that the problem wasn't men
tal, that the team was up for
the game. He explained that
on almost every play an as
signment was missed on the
line. And he said that his team
had a lot of work to do if they
were going to beat State.
Tucker Frederickson, former All
American from Auburn University,
now star fullback with the New York
Giants. During the 1965 season, he
carried the ball 195 times for a total
yardage gain of 659. His shirt is one
of Hathaway's Club Wicker Stripes.
About $8.00.

It was a relief when the
questions ended, and it was a
relief to leave the room and
head back towards Chapel
Hill.
Yesterday, the reporters
met again in the room. The
ritual of conversation, lunch,
speech and questions was re
peated. But yesterday there
was something to talk and
smile about.
Yesterday the writers laugh
ed more freely. Canned music
was piped into the room. Even
the meal tasted better.
When the coach began to
talk his voice was clearly
heard. He looked almost as if
he was enjoying himself.
"Anytime you win the State
game you're happy. We saw a
lot of definite improvement
over the way we played in
Kentucky. We blocked, threw
and caught a lot better. We
didn't run up and down the
field, but we ran better.
"The defense played as fine
a brand of football as you'll
ever see when they had too."
"Where was your best im
provement," someone asked.
"The offensive line. They
blocked much better."
"Did you give any instruc
tions for the team when you
fell behind 7-3."

fortable fit and casual flare. Result: Every Hathaway Club button-down
looks equally well with or without a tie. (Also note the perfect pattern
matching around the tip of collar. Also on pocket and seams.)

much like the seams on a traditional jacket. This makes the seams
extraordinarily strong and flat and neat.

"Yeah. I told them to get
back ahead."
Everyone in the room laugh
ed. ,
"It's hard to say how much
we'll have to improve to beat
Michigan. They're awfully
hard to stop when they run
and pass. But we aren't going
up there just to make the trip.
We'll have to play better
football, and we expect to."
Next Tuesday the Michigan
game will have become his
tory. And at half past twelve
there will be another buffet
luncheon in the little room.
Maybe the room will be
filled with laughter and the
words of a happy coach. May
be they'll be canned music.
Or maybe the room will be
filled with routine questions
and quiet answers. And maybe
they'll be no musical accomp
animent, only an agonizing
silence.

This Barbershop Quartet
Sings All Sports Songs
By OWEN DAVIS
DTK Sports Writer
The crevice beside Sutton's
Drug Store looks insignificant
enough from the street. To a
stranger it would not appear
to be much more than an or
dinary alley. But on this cre
vice opens the nerve center
of the Chapel Hill sports
world, the Tar Heel Barber
Shop. As barber George To
masic put it, "We don't let
anything slip by."
The four barbers at the Tar
Heel, Tomasic, owner Jack
Doutbit, Eddie Goddard, and
Jim Clark can recite most any
statistic ever compiled in
sports The foursome is con
stantly talking sports and it
is educational just to sit
around the shop and hear
them swap opinions on Caro
lina's chances at Notre Dame
or the World Series. .
"It is a very moderate es
timation to say that Notre
Dame will beat Carolina by
30 points," said Goddard.
"Notre Dame looks like a pro
team. They have two great
sophomores."
The shop is full of discuss
ion on current college football
if
and Saturday's Notre Dame -Purdue
game caused quite a
stir. "I think it will be a
tossup nationally between UC
LA and Notre Dame., and of
course Alabama would have to
be included," commented To
masic. "Watch the California
teams, Southern California and
UCliA."
Goddard said he thought
that Bob Griese of Purdue is
the best quarterback in col
lege football but Tomasic dif
fered. "Gary Beban of UCLA
is the best all - around quar
terback. Griese is the best
passer in the nation and Jim
my Raye of Michigan State is
the best running quarterback.
Clint Jones of Michigan State
is the best runner in col
lege," he stated.
They all agree that Caro
lina has good material but
Goddard said, "We need Bear
Bryant or Paul Dietzel here.
With Bear Bryant we could
have a winner. The quality of
players in the Atlantic Coast
Conference is as good as any
where else but I don't believe
that the caliber of coaches in
the ACC is as good.
'Boys do not seem to im
prove much when they get to
the ACC. Some of the best
players in pro football are
from mis conference but it is
not ever real strong in foot
ball. Saban at Maryland, Diet
zel at South Carolina, and
Harp at Duke tare all real
good and they should improve
the conference."
Doutbit has been cutting
hair in Chapel Hill for 30
years. He had such a great
affection for Charlie Justice
that he followed him where
ver he played. Goddard told
the story.
"Jack hired a chauffeur and
bought a car for the first
time and followed Justice all
over the country. He had ne
ver had a car before Justice
graduated and he bought one
and followed him to Louisi
ana to a bowl game and
went to Washington all the
time when Justice was with
with the Redskins. He still
has newspaper clippings from
the days when Justice play
ed." .
Goodard said that the Balti
i more Colts are the ibest teank
i inlthe National Football Lea-,,
gue but Tomasic answered,
"Yeah, that's why Green Bay
has braten them four times.

The World Series is just on
the horizon and Douthit said
Baltimore will win it. "Naw,"
said Tomasic, "Los Angeles
will take the series. They
are great on fundamentals."
And the discussion continu
es at the Tar HeeL Names,
records, and plays are
thrown around for any listen

should drop by. A lot can be
