Wednesday, November 9, 1966 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Pare 5 By Be is Sanders I Cagers Will Play Saturday DTH Sports Writer AN OPEN LETTER TO FRANK McGUIRE Mr. Frank McGuire Head Basketball Coach University of South Carolina Columbia, S. C. Dear Frank: I Wave followed with interest the developments in the Mike Grosse case, concerning his eligibility to play basketball in the Atlantic Coast Confer ence, because I am deeply in terested in that conference and its future. I am not concerned with the question that has been raised concerning Mike. That is for others, not I, to decide. Suf fice it to say tblat I understand he is a basketball player of exceptional ability, one - who may be the difference between a: winning and a losing sea son for you. For that reason, I am sorry the whole affair started. I know how much you like to win. I am sorry,, though, that tMs had to happen. You had trou ble when you were at North Carolina, I understand. An NC AA investigation' of your re cruiting .practices here found them to foe "excessive," and you admitted it. Then, a cou ple of your recruits were in volved in thle point-shaving scandals that rocked the ACC a few years ago. You left the ACC, and, for a while at least things ran along smoothly. Now, you have come home again. Now, things are nc so smooth. I'm sure it's not ydur iault, Frank. I know that "they are out to get you. You even said so. And I do not believe all those stories I hear about your method of producing winning basketball teams. I do not be lieve them because I dislike unsavory stories. Some people think there is a direct rela tionship between Frank Mc Guire and trouble. I wouldn't like to believe that, either, but. . . The national sports publica tion reporter you talked with last week made one correct statement in his article, Frank. He said something about the enough bitterness to keep the ACC well-stocked for years. I agree with that This confer ence was doing well until. . . I suppose this whole affair has made the ACC look bad in the eyes of the nation, but we both know that wasn't your fault, don't we Frank. We do know that, don't we? Sure we do. And you might not agree with triis, Frank, but I'll say it anyway: Mike Grosso, you, and your recruiting methods have long been the subject of discussion and controversy around here. You have kept the Atlantic Coast Conference in the national spotlight. . . one way or another. I have a feeling, Frank, that the conference could do well without that spotlight. I have a feeling that, even minus you, Mike Grosso and methods of producing big-time basket- gall teams, the ACC could get along very smoothly. Very smoothly, indeed. Respectfully, Dennis Sanders Bob Lewis and Larry Miller North Carolina's two all-America candidates, will be on opposite ends of the firing line Saturday afternoon when the Tar Heels stage an intra-squad basketball game at Carmicha el Auditorium. The contest is being spon sored by the University Mono gram Club for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Game time Was been set for 4:30 p.m. following conclusion of Caro lina's football battle with the Air Force Academy.

Freshmen on this team will be Al Ar mour, Eddie Fogler, Harold Pollard and Ricky Webb. Smith, starting his sixtb sea son as head coach of the Tar Heels, stiil is trying to decide on his starting lineup. He said the game Saturday will be a big determining factor. "We've had the three finest weeks of practice since I've been at Carolina," Smith1 said. "All the players have been completely dedicated."

It's call ed "beat you to the rebound." You take a couple of "long drinks of water" add it to some tough beef and a jack rabbit. The beef in UNC's dandy deluxe is, of course, Larry Miller and Mark Mirken. Both tip the scales at 210 pounds and have shown in the past that they dpn't intend to be pushed around. The jack rabbit, is Bobby Lewis a guard and rela tively short (6'3"). Lewis has leaping ability against much taller opposition. His tremen dous spring allows him to jump with men who are five to six inches taller. The new addition to Caro lina's rebounding recipe are indeed "tall drinks of water." They are 6'11" Rusty Calrk and 6'8" Bill Bunting. Accord ing to chief chef Dean Smith, these are the secret ingredi ents which will make the dish effective. In other words, "if they do a good job rebound ing, we'll be a "good basket ball team." "Although we won't nave as big a team as State, South Carolina or Duke," said Smith, "we will be an improved re bounding team over last year. We lost a little speed, but can make up for this loss in hustle and desire." According to Smith, the Tar Heels practice some on re bounding "per se", but this phase of basketball is included in all drills.

The drills are designed to develop techniques in rebound ing and to allow the players to work on position and quick ness. Most of the rebounding load will fall upon the centers and forwards, but you can look for . the guards to help out. What ever the starting lineup, the guards will be , able ; to con gest the big men for the ballf When the ball comes off the boards, you can bet it will be a five-man scrap on Carolina's part to get it. "Guards will get more de fensive rebounds," stated Smith, "so they have to know how to block men out. They won't make many offensive re bounds unless they are caught inside. Our plays are design ed to station the bigger men near the basket. The guards stay back and protect against the fast break." Said Dean Smith, "I'd like to think we'd, be as fantastic as Texas Western, but we won't be that great. We'd like to get three shots to our op ponents one and if this hap pens, we'll win ball games. - "Last year, Larry Miller did an outstanding job rebound ing better than his height," Smith said. "That weight makes a lot of difference. He and Bob- (Lewis) are the same height, but Larry doesn't get pushed around as much as Bob (who is 30 lbs. lighter)." In practice, the 14 varsity tryouts scrap, rebound, defense and contest each other for two hours. All of them are going all out in quest for a starting berth. Lewis and Miller take nothing for granted and are out there "hustling like mad" and really driving themselves. "I have no doubts that this team will be enthusiastic, de dicated and determined," con cluded Smith. If you doubt this statement, just drop by Carmichael Au ditorium some afternoon a round five for a Dreview.
