! I i I 4 t Friday, January 6, 1967 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Page 5 Demiiis Sanders 1 Unbeaten IrFOsli Bandite Most Mine Jimp ?''V.-:'VMMWSK TALBOTT'S TRIUMPH Danny Talbott went out the way he came in - on top. And probably no singular football player de served it more. The reference, of course, is to the East-West All Star Game, m which Talbott, no longer bothered by the injuries that made his senior season a mediocre one, performed with the excellence he displayed on his good days. In leading the East to a win, the former Tar Heel field general passed with the skill and accuracy of a Sammy Baugh, an Eddie LeBaron, a Y. A. Tittle. He completed 18 of 24 passes for 3 touchdowns and his overall excellence earned the game's offense award for him. It is ironic that Talbott, who never played on a losing high school team, never played on a winner at Carolina, despite some moments of personal glory. His last season in a Carolina uniform was the most frustrating. Early in the season, he quarter backed North Carolina to an impressive win over Michigan and when the Tar Heels were 2-1, people were predicting a bright season. Fate did not comply. There were injuries, and Talbott absorbed some serious ones. The result was some frustrating after noons on the bench in the midst of a Carolina seven game losing streak. December 31, Talbott proved that the injuries he suffered were the reason for his lackluster season. He proved it by playing the type of game everyone knew he was capable of playing. He proved it by going out with a winner on top. FIRST IMPRESSIONS Carolina has invested $100,000 in Bill Dooley as the rebuilder of a football program that badly needs re building. That amount is spread out over a five-year period the length of Dooley's contract at $20,000 per year, and it is the University's wager that the former Georgia assistant can do the job. At his first press conference, when he was intro duced as the new coach, Dooley made a favorable impression on most all the men he faced. What is Bill Dooley, who left an attractive job as offensive coach under brother Vince at Georgia, real ly like? Because he has already thrown himself into the tense recruiting job that must be done, he has not had time yet to sit down for a long talk. But here are some impressions gathered from a first meeting , ,vith Dooley: !"' ' ' J he is a young (32) and intelligent man who is above all else a willing worker. (Asked by the screen ing committee how much vacation a coach should have, Dooley said he felt coaching was a year-round job.) he is willing to answer questions sprinkled with a sense of humor and he can handle anything thrown his way. he is neat, courteous and, if you went down the entire list of Boy Scout Laws, he would probably fit them all. and he has made a favorable impression on players, coaches and other officials with whom he has come into contact over the years. His selection as coach prompted a remark from one astute observer of Atlantic Coast Conference athletics: "They were trying to hire John Ray of Notre Dame as head coach, but Carolina went almost five games without a touchdown last season. Can you im agine hiring a defensive coach for a team that went nearly 20 quarters without crossing the goal line?" Neither can we.

Duke is Tar Babies Scorch Dump Wake Forest, 83-67 By OWEN DAVIS DTII Sports Writer Torrid shooting and tough defense led UNC's Tar Babies to an 83-67 victory over Wake Forest Wednesday night. The freshmen thus kept their rec ord unmarried and now carry a 6-0 slate into the Duke con test tonight. Carolina hit a phenomenal 70.5 per cent of its shots from the floor and burned the cords at an 80.8 mark from the char ity line. Guards Eddie Fogler and Jim Delaney held usual high - scoring Deaclets Nor wood Todman and Dickie Wal ker to 19 and 14 points each, far below their combined av erage of 60 markers per 'out-' ing. . Charlie Scott continued to recover from an early - season injury and topped all scorers Clark Payinj Rusty Clark, a big man who's making big headlines, proved again this wek what a valuable performer he is for the North Carolina Tar Heels. With Clark nursing a virus, Carolina lost to Princeton Monday night. But with Rusty roaring Wednesday night, the Tar Heels bounced back to whip Wake Fores in a frantic finish. Now it's Duke at Durham, and Clark once again figures to be a key man in Carolina plans. The 6-10 sophomore from Fayetteville will clash with Duke's big Mike Lewis Tar Heel Coach Dean Smith singled out Clark for special praise Wednesday night after the exciting windup against Wake Forest. "It took a lot of courage," Smith said, "for Rusty to come back in a weak condition and play the kind of game he played to night." Clark pumped in 20 points, hitting 10 of 14 shots, and hauled down a game high 13 rebounds. It was Rusy's tap in with 26 seconds left that lifted Carolina into a tie and set the stage for Larry Miller's steal and last second layup. Clark played only nine min utes Monday night when Caro lina suffered its only loss of the season to Princeton. He came down with a virus early in the day and was in a very weak condition by game time. Without his rebounding the Tar Heels could not keep strength and shooting touch, pace with Princeton. For the season, Clark has ! DIMG ( MO Luncheon Special for Today HEAT LOAF Choice of Two Vegetables Salad w Dressing Beverage Bread & Butter Homemade Layer Cake 97c with 24 points. Fogler follow ed close behind with 23 a n d Delaney put in 16. Scott was hot with his jumper and con nected on 10 of 12 shots from the field. Fogler shot mostly layups and banked in 11 of 13. The first half was dominat ed by Carolina as the Tar Ba bies banged in points con stantly while the Deaclets were unable to find the range. UNC jumped off to a quick 9-0 lead and built their advan tage to 21 points before Wake narrowed it to 44-25 at half time. The Tar Babies played a more relaxed game in the sec ond half on defense and the. home town Baptists were able to outscore UNC. The outcome had been decided from the early moments, however and Carolina was content to hit 67 of 118 shots from the floor for a shoting percentage of 56.8. He is averaging 14.8 points a game and has cap tured 122 rebounds, more than 11 a game. Rusty draws one of his toughest assignments Satur day in the meeting with Duke. Lewis has the reputation of being one of the best rebound- Big State Wants Football RALEIGH, N. C. AP Plans were discussed Thursday for a college football doublehead- er in Raleigh's Carter Stadium Sept. 16, involving Wake For est, North Carolina, North Carolina State, and Duke. The proposed doubleheader matching North Carolina and N. C. State at 1:30 p.m. and Duke vs. Wake Forest at 8 p.m. would open the 1967 football season in North Caro lina. N. C. State Chancellor John T. Caldwell has written both Duke and Wake Forest offi cials, inviting them to partici pate in the first doubleheader in the history of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Roy Clogston, State athletic director, said: "This would be tremendous for all concerned. It would be the greatest thing that ever happened to ACC football. The doubleheader would permit fans of each school to see the annual Big Four meetings. m lC ROOM Basket sit on its lead. Coach Larry Brown was far from relaxed, however. When Scott drew his fourth foul with 9:23 left in the game, Brown protested vigorously and was 1 rewarded with a technical foul. The margin was so great at that point that Wake could not take advantage of the sit ' uation. , Thereafter, Brown slowed down play and the Deaclets fouled frequently attempting to break up the stall. ! Carolina continued to play an aggressive defense and stole many passes which start ed fast breaks. Fogler was "'once again the master of the t ,: fast break, using nifty pass . ing and twisting layups to add many points to the UNC col umn. Dividend ers in the country. Carolina now has a record r of 10-1 and an Atlantic Coast Conference mark of 2-0. Fol lowing the game at Duke, the Tar Heels return home to meet North Carolina State next Wednesday night. That ' game will be regionally tele vised and wll start at 8:30 p.m. something they haven't been able to do in the past because ' of scheduling In past years, the Big Four games, highlight of the season for North Carolina fans, have either been held on different dates or conflicted. Clogston added, "I have no doubts whatsoever that the games would be great finan cial successes. In the past, we've hurt each other in the scheduling of these games." Separate tickets for each game would be sold and Car ter Stadium would be closed for a couple of hours between the contests. The possibility of the double header was realized when it was discovered that both Wake Forest and Duke had scheduled their opening day game at home. , LOOKING FOR SELF-FULFILLMENT?

However, with North Car olina and N. C. State already set for Carter Stadium that day, the doubleheader propos al was submitted. Duke and Wake Forest of ficials have discussed the project and indicated tenta tive approval. Gene Hooks, Wake Forest athletic director, said, "I can't think of a better way to pro mote football in the ACC than to have the Big Four teams playing on opening day at the same site." Clogston said many improve ments on roads leading into Carter Stadium would be made before the 1967 season. Fur ther meetings are scheduled by Big Four oficials to work out details and arrangements. 1 sW2W f ill yndH fee A By OWEN DAVIS DTII Sports Writer The revenge - minded Duke Imps invade hostile territory tonight when they battle the undefeated Tar Babies at Car michael Auditorium. The Imps, who suffered a 93 - 74 setback to UXC earlier in the season, will be out Jo avenge the loss at the 8 p.m. tipoff. The Carolina freshmen will be seeking tfieir seventh win of the season in as many games. Not since the days of Poncho Villa has one group come up with so many thefts. The little bandits, whose tall est player is 6'5", have stolen every team blind that they have played to date. The nar rowest margin of victory was Wednesday night's 10 - point caper over Wake Forest. Charlie Scott will break into the lineup tonight for his first home appearance since the holidays. Scott has scored 22 and 24 points in his only two performances of the year. Along with Scott in the start ing role will be Jim Delaney and Eddie Fogler at guards, and Al Armour and Gra White head at forwards. Duke will probably start guards Ray Kuhlmeier and John Posen, forwards Doug Jackson and Tim Teer, an center Glenn Smiley.

Coach Larry Brown looks for few changes from the Imps. "I don't think Duke will press like they did the last time," he said. "I expect to see a zone from them." The Durham quintet has lost only one other game besides the UNC shellacking and Brown is quite aware of this. "I look for a tough game from them," he said. They have a real fine team. In fact they haven't lost a game since they played us." Brown termed the Wake Forest victory a "wonderful win". "This has to be even a bigger victory than at Duke," he said. "Our kids payed as fine a game as ever. "I'm thrilled about the way they played defense. Our out tanding defense was the dif ference. Eddie Fogler and Jim Delaney did an amazing job defensively. I wouldn't trade those two guards for any around," Brown said the Tar Babies "continue to do everything I expected. Our kids seem to 'rise to the occasion and they couldn't make me any happier and proud of them. We can't look back, though."
