That's probably true, be cause Joe split time with another good - looking Tar Baby last year, and still av eraged vll.O points and six re bounds. Even at that half game rate, though, he aver aged just under 15 ppg in the final half of the season. Those close to the scene attributed his second semester revival to the development of self-confidence. He shouldn't have that obstacle to buck this time. Tar Heel opponents should see a lot of the baby bull. JIM BOSTICK The guy who split time with Brown last year is 6-3 Jim Bostick, who now must make a 100 per cen transition to guard. He was brought along "slowly in preparation .for the : position as a frosh, but now .'there is no room for him in the frontcourt. So guard is his varsity home, but although the staff has confidence in him, it re mains to be seen if the At lantan will fully adapt. One thing has already been established, though: Jim Bos tick can shoot the o's out of the; basket. His 53.7 floor per centage was only fourth-best among the frosh, but most of his points came on jump shots which he shoots with a mere flick of the wrist. He also drives well, jumps well, and scraps like crazy on defense and for loose balls. GRUBAR AND TUTTLE Defense. Say the word and you im mediately think of Dick Gru bar (6-3) and Gerald Tuttle (5-11), the frosh backcourt duo whose ball - hawking, fast breaking style of play brought nearly as many raves as did "The Bobby Lewis Show" of 19634 fame. They were superb against the teams on the frosh sked, ano hey don't appear likely to slow down more than just a tad as big-leaguers. , Carolina's sports publicity department is billing .Grubar; as the sharpest Tar Heel play - maker since his coach, assistant Larry Brown, play ed here in '63. Brown says Dickie's better, and that's a mouthful. "Dix" truly showed a wealth of potential last year, and the manner in which he setup mates for easy scores was sometimes breath-taking. He can shoot, too. His 15.0 scoring average was third on the club and bis field goal prcentage was a nifty 56.2 National Touring Company Presents Last Season's Broadway Spectacular TOE n n OlrVf1 Qno of th3 groat At Duke's Page Aualtonum, Seats $3.50, $3, $2.50 At Page Box Office Or Call 684-4059 Or Write Box KM Duke Station NOW PLAYING .... . mark. His high point mark was 27, which tied ' Bunting for second behind Clark's 28 for single-game totals. And Grubar, who will come to grips with cross - town Sche nectady, N. Y. hot - shot Pat Riley when UNC meets Ken tucky in Lexington on Dec. 13, grabbed nearly five -bounds per game. Tuttle barely missed being the fifth doubl - figures scor er on the frosh outfit fall ing one basket shy at 9.9 per game. His shooting percent age was, at. 41.6, the lowest among the top six Tar Ba bies. But with his value as a floor leader, he won't have to score a single point this year to make a full contribution. He did, though, have one big point - making night last year, hitting 26 against Vir ginia. "Tut" has good basketball traits, perhaps the most val uable of which is that he is constantly on the lookout for the open man and seldom muffs a play. He'll be heard from. MUCH POTENTIAL HELP As a group, the "1965 - 66 class of Tar Babies will bring much potential help to Dean Smith's varsity. Some of them are tall, big, and can go high on the boards for loose shots. Some are ex cellent defense men, all are adequate. Most have good speed, most are accurate passers, most are good ball handlers. And all of them can hit the basket. The varsity received cheers as the nation's top shooting team with a 51.7 mark. The frosh figure was 53.1. The six sophs showed worlds of potential as fresh men. But this year they must advance the ball against guys such as State's Eddie Bieden bach, and they must hit the boards against gentlemen of the stature of Duke's Mike Lewis, South Carolina's Mike Grosso andl Gary Jregor, and possibly Columbia's sev en - foot Dave Newmark. The challenge and the pressure will be great. Peo ple are expecting a Top Ten production, and these sopho mors hold the key" w" Off last year's showing of potential, and the high de gree of determination which is kown to be present, they'll measure up.

DTH Photo By Ernest Robl ACC Begins J mc Basketball Gallery Hoop season By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Will the Atlantic Coast Con ference allow South Carolina to use its sophomore star bas ketball player, Mike 'Grosse? Will Bob, Verga of Duke or Bob Lewis of North Carolina carry their teams to the cham pionship and make All-America? The answers will start un folding Thursday night when seven of the eight ACC teams open the season. Duke, seeking its seventh straight rating in the nation's top 10, opens Friday. The executive committee of the conference has ruled Grosso ineligible. He did not make the 800 points on t h e College Entrance Board tests required for an athletic scho larship. South Carolina says he is not on scholarship, but is paying his own way. The school will appeal the executive committee ruling at a meeting of the full confer ence next month at Hilton Head, S. C. The regular season is only a treadmill. The post-season tour nament determines the cham pion, and all teams get into the tournament. There is one conference game Thursday night, Clem son at; North s Carolina, and these games against outsid ers: Penn State at Maryland, Virginia Military Institute at North Carolina State, Erskine at South Carolina William and Mary at Virginia, and Wake Forest vs. Davidson in t h e Charlotte Coliseum. Duke plays Virginia Tech Friday, also in the Charlotte Coliseum. Saturday, Wake Forest will be at North Carolina State, Michigan at Duke, Virginia at Kentucky, North Carolina will play Penn State in the Greens boro Coliseum, and The Cita del will be at Clemson. Even without Grosso, South Carolina is rated just behind Duke and North Carolina. The Gamecocks have a brilliant backcourt in Skip Karlicka and Jack Thompson, four players 6-foot-7'or more, and a jun ior college transfer, Tom Far rell, from whom much is ex pected. Maryland has only one play er taller than 6-foot-5, Jay Mc Millen, who is two inches over that mark. . But all Maryland starters will be lettermen. Clemson also have five ex perienced starters, now sen iors who have done the job for two years. Reinforcements are sophomores Richie Mahaffey and Curt Eckar. Virginia's top scorers last year, Jim Connelly and Mike Katos, are back in the Cava lier's drive for a rare first division spot. They also have a good rebounder in 6nfoot-7 John Naponick.

Scott, a heralded performer from Laurinburg, suffered a chipped bone in his foot in Tuesday's practice to deal frosh basketball hopes a se vere blow. He was to start at forward and jump at cen ter although the Tar Babies will not have an offensive cen ter in the pivot. He will be out four to five weeks. Tipoff time for the season's opener is 6 p.m. at Carmich ael Auditorium. Coach Larry Brown's year lings begin with a definite height disadvantage which Brown hopes will be overcome by superior speed and shoot ing. Scott's loss makes the height problem more acute since he is 6'4". No player on the Tar Babies is over 6'4" which will make it tough to better last year's 15-1 record. The complete starting line up is still undecided although Brown named Jim Laney, and GOOiriG TO OIlflPEL HILL The New SAAOSOriETTII On Tuesday 6 Dec. To Monday 12 Dec. TEST DRIVE IT.

Gardner was a consis Then there's Jim Suther land, a 6'5" guard, who was the leading scorer in the Car- Ed Fogler as definite mem bers of the first five. The ot her three spots are still up for grabs with Ricky Webb, Al Armour, Greg Whitehead, Jimmy Folds, and Harold Pol lard battling for the positions. Brown promises "great hustling and tremendous unselfishness" from his crew. "We will have to run and press," he said, "and a good crowd means an awful lot when you are pressing. I gua rantee that people will see some great basketball." Not much is known about the Baby Tigers. Brown com mented that "they are usual ly pretty good" but added he knew of only one player on the Clemson quintet. 'They have a real good kid from Pennsylvania named An dy Toth. He's a 6'2" guard who was all-state in high school but I don't know what else they've got. I guarantee they won't be smaller than us. We must have the small est team in the country." The squad is in "pretty good shape physically" ac cording to Brown except for a hand injury sustained by Fogler. He mused, however, that "we would be in a lot better shape if we had two 6'8" guys."

The Tigers are ranked fourth in the pre - season standings. So, tonight the Tar Heels will be tested. And in the two short hours of basketball se veral questions will be parti ally answered. Can Clark hold his own ag ainst one of the league's fi nest centers? How well will the sophomore duo of Bunting and Grubar perform under the pressure of large crowds and collegiate competition?
