Tuesday, utxemuer 16, imsd THE DAILY TAR HEEL Page 5 i n a..u,wjuiaiL iaaiiiOTn) At Stake Ton! By SANDY TREADWELL DTH Sports Editor It's called Memorial Coli seum. It covers a city block and contains as much space as a ' seven - story office building. It is presided over by a man in a brown suit called Adolph Rupp. In Memorial Coliseum 11, 500 seats have been filled by fanatic basketball fans for the. past 16 years. They congre gate around the basketball floor and sadistically watch Rupp's University of Kentuc ky basketball teams devour their opponents. Tonight the Tar Heels will walk onto that floor and will make a bid lor national pro minence. The fourty minutes of basketball will be Carolina's first real rest of the young season. It is also perhaps the greatest test that they will face throughout the 25 game regular season schedule. Tonight the Tar Hels, ran ked sixth, will brush elbows with the Wildcats, the na tion's number four team. Last year "Rupp's Runts" brought honor and excitement to the basketball addicted blue grass. They defeated top ranked Duke in the NCAA semi - finals before their up set defeat at the hands of ' ' ' , . - - ? V y - , ' - . Jt ' z y ''''' 1 . '. tmmitmm..

TI TTD some previously unknown ath letes from Texas. . RuPPi the pereinal baron of basketball, was a unanimous choice for this fourth "coach of the year" award. Now the '65-66 season is all but forgotten. It's facts and figures have been recorded in decaying record books. Now Rupp is starting all over again. North Carolina will face three out of the five wonder boys who came as close as you can come to taking it all in College Park last spring. The two All - Americas, Pat Riley and Lou Dampier are back, and center Thad Jar caz its now an experienced junior. Kentucky has lost Larry Con ley and Tommy Kron. They were the team's lowest scor ers, but they made the Wild cats go. Conley was a great passer 'and ball handler and Krori gave the Wildcats re bounding heighth under the baskets. The new ingredients in Ba ron's stew are even small er than his famous "runts". Kron's replacement, junior Bob Tallent, is four inches shorter at 6'1". Conley's fore ward position has been filled by two more juniors, 6-& Tommy Porter and 6-2 Jim LeMaster. Much of the credit for North Carolina's fast getaway this basketball season has, to go to Bob Lewis, the senior star who has been putting the Tar Heels on the scoreboard with points and passes. Teamwork has been putting the Tar Heels on the score board with points nad passes. Teamwork has been Caro lina's winning formula, and Lewis has been the ringleader in this department. His pass es and 18 points sprarked the Tar Heels past Penn State, 93 63. "No doubt about it," says Coach Dean Smith. "Lewis' un selfish play has been a high light of our first two games.

FRANKLIN STREET ti glut The Wildcats have had to rely even more on speed and shooting this year, and Dam pier and Riley are more ca pable than all most all other collegiate ball players at pro viding both. But these two athletes just aren't enough for Rupp to re create last year's near mi racle. The Wildcats fell to Il linois just over a week ago in overtime at the Coliseum. Last Saturday Kentucky took two overtimes before they emerged with a 118-116 win over Northwestern. So the Wildcats can be beat en, they already have been. If Carolina can ignore the dis traction of 11,500 noisily hos tile basketball fans, and if they can put their potential together for forty minutes to night, Dean Smith will have the greatest win of his ca reer. Psychology is a big factor in determining great teams. If the Tar Heels can come back to Chapel Hill with a win they may go a long long way be fore all is said and done this winter. And Carolina will have a team that it finally can be proud of. He's been passing up shots from eight feet and making great passes to teammates closer to the basket. And his defense has improved tremen dously." "I'm convinced-that unself ish play is what wins ball games," Lewis says. "All of our players have the same at titude. This is a 13 - man team we have, not a one or two or three ? man team." In the Tar Heels' first two games, Lewis has averaged 17 points a game, 10 less than he averaged last season when he ranked as the nation's 10th pointmaker. But Bob's other contributions to the team are far greater. : uuii mm uucu 942-5578 Vi. Barnes Gets His First As Grapplers Shut Out W&L By KAREN FREEMAN DTH Sports Writer Sam Barnes got his first shut-out in 16 years as wres tling coach at Carolina Satur day night against Washington & Lee. j The UNC grapplers did it for him with 18 decisions and 1 pin, to win by the score of 30-0. That the shut-out should come against Washington & Lee was surprising, for Wash ington & Lee has usually spelled trouble for Carolina in the past. Bob Crane, a 115 - pounder, set the tone for the meet ear ly in the 123-lb. class. Crane pulled an early advantage, gaining 4 points in the first 30 seconds, but mid - match, with the tally H Barnes wasn't quite ready to believe it. "We pulled him out of 115 and put him in 123 we're afraid he's going to run out of gas." But Crane continued to win the decision 11-3, and was fol lowed by George Johnston's second-period win. Carolina hit a rough spot in 152 with Lane Verlendon, cap tain, wrestling Don Patterson (W&L). Patterson went ahead 2-0 after 40 seconds, but Verlen don managed to tie it by the end of the first period. Ver lendon and Patterson tied again in the second period 4-4, but a quick reversal by Verlendon pulled the match out for UNC 6-4. After 152, Barnes could see hist shut-out. .' j Approaching unde feated wrestler Phil Wanzer before the 167 - lb. class, Barnes cautioned him, "How about executing an orthodox hold tonight, Phil?" Whether or not he did, Wan zer remained undefeated witli a 5-2 decision. In heavyweight, Steve Lis ter almost climaxed the meet with a pin. The match stood scoreless until the third period, when Lister pulled ahead 2-0 and had a near-pin m the final second. Coach Barnes is of the opin ion that Carolina just out-con OT1EDIHD Clerks and Secretaries If yon have a High School diploma and are In terested In a better work position Hospital Saving Association, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, may have an appealing job for you.
