North Carolina's Tar Heels
surprised most folks by win
ning 16 of their 27 games last
winter. They were a team
which was smaller than most
foes, but which made up for
it, in part, by shooting bet
ter than any other team in
the NCAA.
Being small, the 1965 - 66
Tar Heels had to scrap for
everything they accomplished.
They hustled 100 per cent, but
there were several good rea
sons why they didn't win at
the same rate.
First, and most important,
UNC suffered from a severe
lack of board strength. Sec
ond, the pressure defense did
not scare the really good
teams. Third, the overall ball
handling and passing was not
adequate.
There is an outstanding crop
of rising sophomores to blend
with most of the top varsity
players of last year, and that
supplies reason to believe that
these maladies will be largely
corrected this go - round.
The cast will again be head
ed by senior Bob Lewis and
junior Larry Miller, but this

A new school standard was
recorded in field goal accur

the best in the nation.
Overall, last season's perfor
mance was a good one. Caro
lina managed to beat most of
the teams it was supposed to
beat, and lose to most of
those which were rated stron
ger. There were exceptions both
ways.
On the brighter side, UNC
upset Utah (90-85), a team
which won the Far West play
off and reached the NCAA se
mifinals. It beat a team of
giants which it wasn't suppos
ed to stay with Florida (66

State, Ohio State and Prince

behind Vanderbilt with three
minutes to play before the

after having fallen twice to the
Blue Devils in run - and -shoot
affairs. Duke won, 21-20,
in a game which broke a bas
ketful of tourney records.
The only way that game
could be topped would be for
UNC to have won it, and the
81-79 overtime conquest of Vir
ginia in Carmichael Auditor
ium fills the bill for most -exciting
- game - with a - hap

much margin for either side,
and then UVA's Jim Connelly
stole a pass and drove the
length of the court for a dun
ker at the horn which tied the

shot at the 45 - minute mark
won it.

were good enough to beat all
those teams to which it lost
if there had been present the
push that a little height and
finesse would have supplied.
Both should be present this
year.
Frontcourt
At long last, Dean Smith is
looking 'way up to his front
court crew, and he'll tell you
that it's a comforting sight.
And we'll tell you that the
guys he's looking up to could
form the top baseline corps
that UNC has rounded up
since Lee Shaffer, Doug Moe,
and Dick Kepley played to-,
gether in 1960.
- Lewis and Miller will start
at the forwards, with Clark al- -most
certain to be the center.
All are adequate passers, and
each can score big. Clark and
Miller will outrebound most:
frontcourts, and Lewis will get
his five - a - game.
Miller is as good as they
come on defense, and Clark
should be a one - man - gang
in the lane. Lewis is no defen
sive slouch, either, and has his
sights trained on improvement.
Bunting will probably start
if the third big man is needed, .
with Lewis moving to guard;
Bill should also play a lot
it
on a split schedule with Clark
Mirken. a senior nnw etmnld
canea upon, rietcner and trye
are also in reserve.
Then there is Joe Brown,
who could be playing about as
much as anyone before the
season is very old.
Like the guards, Carolina's

rounded. And for the first time
in many moons, the Tar Heels
will have more than one strong
rebounder. There should be
at least five this time.
If the sophs come through
as expected, Carolina will be
hard to beat up front.
OFFENSE
Carolina's varsit yshooters
were true on 51.7 per cent of
their field goal tries last sea
son and that, friends, was
the top mark in the NCAA.
The three most - accurate
Miller (54.8 per cent), Lewis
(52.9 per cent) and Gauntlett
(49.0 per cent) are back.
That trio Lewis (27.4),
Miller (20.9) and Gauntlet
'(918) also accounted for 58.1
of the 80.9 points - per - game
t;average of-1965-66.
Additionally, the top six
frosh; combined for 80.8 "ppg;
and outshot their upper - class
brethren with a 54.0 per cent
mark.
Obviously, if the sophs mea
sure up, an offense which look
ed like a, million at times last
year should be just as good or
better this time around.

Lewis and Miller, who last
year were the hottest double
barrel combo in the land, will
again carry the main offensive
burden but it should not
be nearly as heavy.
Consider this:
Last season Lewis and Mill
er took 54.3 per cent of the
floor shots attempted by the
entire UNC team. They ac
counted for 57.0 per cent of
the field goals made, and 60.2
per cent of the total points
scored.
There is no doubt but that
the dynamic duo could do it
again and then some, but it
doesn't appear that they will
have to. Both figure to top 20
ppg again easily, but Lewis'
mark may not be as high as
last year simply because
the supporting cast seems to

i more potent. - - '
But if Smith makes'w
Ay
the dominant center of the at
tack again and he can't go
wrong with that the senior
sharpshooter could hit record
heights. The same is true of
Miller.
The club will have a m o r e
complete "quarterback" in
Grubar. He scores well (15 ppg
as a frosh), but makes his
major impression elsewhere.
He's a stickout on defense and
the fast break, and passes a la
Larry Brown, the former UNC
dandy who gained Olympic
fame in the AAU and now
helps coach the Tar Heels.
Grubar will be a real good
one.
There is concern over the
apparent lack of team speed.
But with Grubar, Miller, Lew
is, Bunting, Gauntlett and Tut
tle to work it, the fast break
will be a more potent wea
pon. The running attack will
be aided by the presence of
men who can pull the ball off
the defensive boards and get it
out quickly.
Another offensive plus is
that Clark and Bunting will
score a good many rebound
baskets which, eluded Carolina
last season. In turn, their pre
sence will free Miller for more
outside work and his jump
er is deadly from 25-30 feet
away.
The offense should be fast
enough, agile, and accurate.

and several of the reserves are
capable of leading the scoring
on any given night.
That makes for a many -pronged
attack which should
outscore most opponents.
Defense
Carolina's defense collapsed
at crucial moments against
some good teams last season.
The most notable were the
game - long lapse in the 102-97
loss to West Virginia, and the
last - three - minutes of be
wilderment which threw away
the VPI game, 81-75.
There is confidence that this
phase will be better, although
again, the untested sopho

that, but his play here is still

has vowed improve-
Defense should be a strong
part of the Carolina arsenal
this year. It should force more
turnovers, because of the way
Dean Smith has set it up. That
is, on a kind of "buddy sys
tem," which dotes on the ele
ment of surprise as one Heel
defender leaves his man to go
for a steal when the oppon
ent with the ball comes n ear.
Backcourt
Carolina's backcourt was in
good hands with Gauntlett and
Yokley last year. It should be
even stronger this time with
Gauntlett running with any one
of several possible mates.
Grubar seems to be the logi
cal choice, although
Miller will - probably-be used '
also. Niether of thp TJM'orc
has ever played here regular
ly before, but both can handle
it.
Moe, Bostick and Tuttle
provide trusty relief.
The guards will be a versa
tile group. Gauntlett and Gru
bra are all - round perform
ers, and the others will be
competent "situation men."
