Wednesday, January 4, 1967 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Page 5 ar By RON SHINN Special To The DTH The 1966 Christmas holi days saw North Carolina's Tar Heels climb high in national basketball prominence and then have the ladder knocked out from under them in their own Carmichael Auditorium. When school closed Dec. 17, the Tar Heels were 4-0 with wins over Clemson, Penn State, Tulane and Kentucky. That had been enough to make the pollsters sit up and take nn tit i lar Jtieeis i ravel To W a&e By BILL HASS DTH Asst. Sports Editor Carolina's Tar Heels, stung by a 91-81 loss to Princeton Monday night, will try to re bound against Wake Forest in Winston - Salem tonight at 8 o'clock. After sailing through Decem ber with nine straight wins, Carolina ran up against a rug ged Princeton team and was dealt its first defeat of the year. The loss, since it had to come, came at an opportune time. It may cost UNC a cou ple of notches in the ratings, but it does not count in the all - important ACC race. Then, too, Princeton is one of the better teams in the country, having lost only to second-ranked Louisville, with out captain Ed Hummer. So it's not as if Carolina has any thing to be ashamed of. The team should rebound tonight and start a new winning streak. Wake Forest is a hard team to figure. The Deacons can be extremely tough, especially on their home court. They sur prised VPI 78-75, lost to Van derbilt, 88-82, and scared the daylights out of highly - re garded Cincinnati, before los ing, 59-58, all at home. Wake has whipped State, 87 67, and Maryland, 68-59, for its other victories in its 3-6 re cord. In their last game the Deacs gave Duke a fight be fore bowing, 78-73. But Wake is inconsistent and can be had. Duquesne admin istered an 89-71 licking and Temple, thrashed the .Deacons, by 84-58. Just which way they will play tonight, tough or dead, remains to be seen. Us ually they are a barrel of trouble for UNC, although the Tar Heels whacked them twice last year by big scores. Ace of the team is guard Paul Long, who sports a 22.1 average and a 54 per cent shooting mark. Long is cap- able of hitting his jumper from anywhere on the court. He is a good rebounder and deadly foul shot. His help is liable to be any of the other four starters, all of whom can hit double fig ures on a good night. Sopho more eJrry Montgomery, the other guard, has an 11.4 aver age. Jim Boshart, 6'5" for ward started slofly but is much improved recently and has a 10.3 average. The other forward is Newton Scott, a good jumper who is the team's leading rebounder. He scores at a 9-9 clip. At center will be either David Stroupe or Sherrill Whitaker, neither much of a scoring threat Wake may move Scott to center and start Paul Crink ley at forward. Top reserves are Jay Randall, Jimmy Broadway and Jimmy Snyder.

Thank you for your past patronage. I look forward to serving you now and in the future. PAUL MOORE, Opto. P.O. Box 846 Tel. 968-8818 Heels notice of the Tar Heel crew, but still they were ranked no higher than ninth national ly. A 95-58 win over NY Dec. 17 plus losses by several oth er top teams was enough to skyrocket UNC to second place in the nation behind perennial favorite UCLA. North Carolina carried the second - place ranking into the Tampa Invitational Tourna ment Dec. 19 and 20 and look ed every bit like a national basketball power with a 93-66 rm i nn lonig The Tar Heels will have a tremendous height advantage. Wake has no one to match 6'11" Rusy Clark or 6'8" Bill Bunting. Stroupe and Scott are the tallest starters at 6'6". The biggest difference be tween this years Deacon team and last year's is defense. Jack McCloskey joined the school as head coach this year after a successful 10 - year tenure at Pennsylvania. At Penn McCloskey's teams were noted for their defense, and ther coach has taught the Wake players what defense is all about. Last year's squad gave up over 100 points nine times, including 121, 117 and 115. This year's team has held its opponents to 75 points a game, a marked improvement over last year's horrid 93 points a game average. Larry Miller and the rest of the high-scoring Tar Heels will be out to crack the Wake defense. lit Tar Babies Seek 6th Straight Win By OWEN DAVIS DTH Sports Writer The only undefeated team on campus, the freshmen bas ketball quintet, travels to Winston-Salem tonight to meet a strong fivesome from Wake Forest. The two squads will battle for the opening tipoff at 6 p.m. Carolina's frosh carry a 5-0 record against the Deaclets after defeating Frederick Mil itary Academy 91-71 and North Greenville Junior College 84 66 over the holiday period. Wake Forest sports an im pressive slate itself with a 6-1 mark, losing only to David- son on the road. Viewing the upcoming game, Coach Larry Brown had much praise for the Baptists. "They State Tickets The ticket office has an nounced a return to the alpha betical distribution system for basketball games. Tickets for the UNC - State game on Jan. 11 will be dis tributed starting this morning to those students and staff members whose names begin with the letters A through M. All remaining tickets will be available on a first - come first - serve basis Thursday. Those whose names begin with N through Z will be giv en a one-day priority for tic kets to the Virginia game on Jan. 28. The alphabetical plan was used for many years for games in Woollen Gymnasium. CI imJo win over Columbia in the first round and an 81-54 troun cing of Florida State in the championship game. Coach Dean Smith gave his team a few days off for Christ mas but had them ready to go for a Dec. 27 battle against Furman at Greensboro. The Tar Heels broke the magic 100 - point barrier for the first time this season with a con vincing 101-56 victory. The Tar Heels ran their re cord to a perfect 9-0 in what test of the season" just three Gauntlett Grabs are great," he said. "This team is supposed to be the best in their history. Wake Forest is definitely the tough est game of the season thus far." The starting five for the Deaclets is , b 1 e s s e d ,. with height and excellent shooting ability. Brown said, "They have two kids, Dicky Walker and Norwood Todman, that are averaging well over 30 points a game. Both of them are 6'3" and in the backcourt. "Their front line makes them a very strong team on the boards. Dan Ackley is a 6'8" man for them at center from New York, Larry Hab aegger is 6'7" from Indiana polis, and they have a kid named Meyer from Ohio who is 6'7". Top Ten North Carolina remained in the number three spot on both the United Press Internation al and Associated Press bas ketball polls issued Tuesday, but both wire services tabu lated their votes before Mon day's loss to Princeton.

Then came the pin that burst the Carolina bubble. The Tar Heels returned to Carmi chael Auditorium for just the third game of the season on the home floor Monday night.

The quarterback hit the first 11 passes he threw, five each on two touchdown drives and another which led to a 1 field goal as the East jumped into a 17-0 lead en route to a 45-22 victory over the West at Kezar Stadium Saturday. Even Duffy Daugherty, who coached the East, was sur prised.

Princeton's Tigers quick ly moving into the national spotlight - shot a hot 65.5 per cent from the floor in beating the Tar Heels. All five start ers, led by forward John Har low with 24 points, scored in double figures. "We could play them 10 times and it would be a tough game every time," Coach Dean Smith said after wards. "They beat us in the Drives For A Layup . . . as is sions and I told both Talbott and Benny Russell of Louis ville they would have an equal chance in the first half," Duf fy said. "They did, but that Talbott connected for his first 11. That's a pretty good per centage, isn't it?" The North Carolinian, who feels he's too small at 180 pounds for a pro football ca reer so leans toward baseball, completed 18 of 24 throws for 211 yards and three touch downs. Point production for the East was the highest in the 42-year history of the Shrine charity game and a total of 67 also set a record. Talbott's I , w-. h i CD w Vi?Mi . H H lew I ill mmmmm a 1011!
