1 f I ? . , " f f 'a ers Wednesday, November 2, 1968 ....v. By Jlieiiiiis Sain : DTH Sports Writer $ Blindfolded and tied to a post atop Mount Ever est, Frank McGuire would be a two- point favorite to land in the middle of a controversy. Now head basketball coach at the University of South Carolina, McGuire has once again hit feet first, and with the venom of a python in the center of a flare - up that might be his last. When head coach at North Carolina (he led the Tar Heels to the national championship with a 32-0 record in 1957), the Irishman often foound public con troversy a useful outlet for his wild Irish temper. He stayed true to form in the professional ranks. In both cases, McGuire took all he wanted to take, then left. He left North Carolina for the pros, he left the pros for public relations, and he left public rela tions for South Carolina. Now, he claims, they're trying to hurt him again. But he won't say who "they" are. The "they" to whom McGuire refers may be the Atlantic Coast Conference executive committee, which consists of three men: Dr. Fadum, of N. C. State University, Dr. E. M. Hedgepeth of UNC and Sterling Reid of the University of Virginia. It was this committee, in a meeting last Friday, that upheld ACC Commissioner Jim Weaver's ruling that Mike Grosso could not play basketball at South Carolina. They did by changing for the third time the wording of the conference bv - law which says a prospective athlete must make at least 800 on his col- . The advent of the twc-pla- lege board scores to receive financial aid from a con- foon system in football has frence school. In this case, the committee decided an athlete must make the 800 score to "participate" in varsity athletics. "This move is being directed at me, and taken out on the boy (Grosso)," McGuire said when in formed of the decision. He was visibly angry when he met with the executive committee last Friday. He almost blew up. , But the fact remains that until someone decides whether to leave the rule as is with "participate" the key word making it retroactive to include Gros so, the 6-8 Raritan, N. J. sophomore will not play basketball for USC. Mike Grosso is a basketball player supposedly a very good one whom McGuire recruited via his connections in the New York - New Jersey area. There is no doubt that his connections there are good ones. The coach at a Florida school told one ACC coach that he had given Grosso $5,000 to play for him. Grosso, the story goes, handed the money back and walked out to return nevermore. And when he failed to make 800 on his board score, and was thus refused a scholarship, Grosso entered by many colleges but chose USC anyway. The story had him riding the financial aid of an uncle. The rumor had him riding the fin ancial aid of uncle Frank McGuire. The events are coming to a nice climax: McGuire is mad, Duke claims it will not play USC with Gros so in the lineup, and Grosso doesn't know whether he'll ever play in the ACC or not. The executive committee isn't helping the plot any, either. They are sneaking around, making a half hearted attempt at solving a question that should have been solved long ago. The whole mess reads like a daytime television soap opera. The only things missing are an unwed mother and a pending divorce. Frank McGuire, the Controversial One, may provide the latter by leaving USC if the question isn't answered to his satisfaction. THE DAILY TAR HEEL Page 5 IT'S MOT YOU THEVkE IT'S fcAg .... AND....

By OWEN DAVIS DTH Sports Writer lessened the importance of en durance among players. But don't tell anyone on the Tar Babies. Injuries have made the freshmen a team of DIE HARDS. Linebacker Steve ' Burdulis exemplifies the endurance re quired to play for the frosh. Many times his comrades on the defensive unit have trot ted off the field after stopping an offensive thrust only for Burdulis to remain in action to snap from center and block. Burdulis' fate is a major reason for the disappointing showing of this year's squad. While he goes through f?uel ing battle for 60 minutes, his opponents rest merrily on the bench for about half the game. The Tar Baby' lineman comes from Kearney, N. J., which is near New York City. 'Burdulis was an all-state star in high school and was sought UNC because "I liked the at mosphere and setup here." Although he is sometimes called on to play both ways, he said he favors playing de fense. "I'd rather tackle than block," he commented. "I like gang tackling and like to be the first to make con tact when the whole team is around." A linebacker calls signals for the defensive units in foot ball and Burdulis received the duty for Carolina. "We have about 15 variations to call," he said. "We play a basic 5-2 setup and I am at left corner linebacker. "I am responsible for plays up the middle and on passes I drop back and have a spe cific zone to cover. It's usual ly easy to see whether a pass or run is developing and I can react pretty well to a play." Burdulis added that he has some trouble with fast backs but his speed is adequate to be in the play. UNC has not set the world on fire this season but Bur dulis thinks the Tar Babies have a good team Respite in juries. "We don't have much time to practice either," he said. "We scrimmage against h?
