THE DAILY TAR HEEL
Pagre 7
The Sportscope
By Bill Has I
;X . '
At long last, after weeks of idiotic promotional
folderol, sports fans will get to see which football lea
gue is better and exactly how much it is.
The AFL-NFL Championship Game (the term "Su
per Bowl" irks me and I will not call it that) should
prove that the NFL is by far the superior .league.
In fact, I believe that the Green Bay Packers are
three touchdowns better than the Kansas City Chiefs
from the AFL.
There is no denying that the AFL plays good foot
ball,, or that Kansas City is easily the best team in
the league. Kansas City probably could beat half the
teams in tne NFL. But their problem Sunday will be
that Green Bay is not an ordinary NFL football team.
There were some doubts that Green Bay could
generate much of an offense. Yet the Packers ran up
34 points when they needed them on a good Dallas
Cowboy defense. The Packers have good running
with Jim Taylor and Elijah Pitts. In reserve they have
the golden boy himself, Paul Hornung, plus the ex
cellent rookies, Donnie Anderson and Jim Grabowski.
But the man who makes the offense go is Bart
Starr, a virtual human computer at quarterback. Starr
has no equal at calling plays. His passing is remark
able and he showed against Dallas that he can throw
the long ball. He makes few mistakes and is so ac
curate with his passes that only three were inter
cepted all year. In comparison, Johnny Unitas and
Don Meredith had! more than 20 picked off.
All the Packer receivers are good, ranging from
the felt Carroll Dale to rugged tight end Marv Flem
ing to wily veteran Max McGee to clutch man Boyd
Dowler. Dale, McGee and Dowler, along with halfback
Pitts, all caught TD passes against Dallas. Diversity
like that makes it difficult to key on one or two men..
The Packer interior line is splendid, featuring
guard Jerry Kramer and tackle Forrest Gregg. A
rookie guard. Gale Gillingham, is so good he moved
All - Pro Fuzzy Thurston out of a starting job. These
men block beautifully and protect Starr as if he were
made of gold.
Granting that the Packers and Chiefs, on paper,
are fairly even on offense, the big difference in the
teams is defense. Green Bay is the stingiest team
in either league when it comes to allowing points.
Teams move the ball well, but when they get near
the goal line they meet a Packer wall of fury. Kan
sas City's defense, in comparison, leaves a lot to be
desired.
The Green Bay pass rush of LJohel -Aidridge, Wil- .
lie'DIs;eriry
Dawson the hardest time he's had in-many afternoons.
In addition, they will contain the running game well.
The linebackers, Ray Nitschke, Dave Robinson and
Lee Roy Cafey, are unmatchable.
In the secondary Herb Adderley, Willie Wood, Bob
Jeter and Tom Brown have the speed and the savvy
to cover anyone in the game. Taylor is no more dan
gerous "than Bob Hayes of Dallas, who caught only
one pass against Green Bay, Adderly and Wood, in
particular, are excellent. .
The Chiefs defend well enough against the run
with Buck Buchanan anchoring the line. Linebackers
Sherrill Headnck, E. J. Ho
lub and Bobby Bell as a
group are the best in the AFL.
In the secondary Johnny Rob
inson is a talented defender
and wild man Fred William
son is as good a defensive
back as there is in the AFL.
Ths Kansas City pass rush
is adequate, but no more.
Th3 Packer line should han
dle the defensive unit with no
more trouble than they would
that of, say, Chicago's, and
considerably less than that of
Los Angeles.
Finally, coach Vince Lom
bardi's team gave up 27 points
to Dallas, more than they sur
rendered all year. Lombardi
has no doubt set about to fix
the chinks in his defensive ar
mor so well as to make it al
most impregnable. Besides,
the man is the best coach in
the game.
It is going to be interest
ing for awhile, but Green
Bay is a clutch team ana

State's Wolflets gave the
Tar Babies a major scare but
Carolina pulled out a nip-and-tuck
87-79 victory last night.
UNC had its poorest shooting
night of the season and State
equaled Carolina's total field
goal output of 35 baskets. Only
the free throw line saved the
Tar Babies.
Carolina hit only 43.7 per
cent of its shots from the field
while the Wolflets shot at a
hot 52.2 clip. The Tar Babies
were 17 for 24 from the foul
line, however, and State shot
a poor 9 for 16 of its attempts.
Charlie Scott led all scorers
with 27 points although he had
his worst percentage to date
by connecting on 13 of 30 from
the field. Al Armour had his
best game of the year by to
taling 24 markers.
Gra Whitehead and Jim De
laney rounded out the double
figures column with 15 and 12
points, respectively.
For State, Nelson Isley had
a hot second half with 20
points and finished the evening
with 26 markers. Tom Smith
put in 16 points and Dale
L Abernethy JoUowejLwith.. .jgLf Qt,
the Wolflets.
.The mistake-ridden first half
started slowly and after over
three minutes of play the score
read only 2-alL State grabbed
the lead briefly and held a 27
24 advantage with 3:00 remain
ing. Carolina rebounded quick
ly and ran up five straight
points for a 29-27 lead.
The Tar Babies left the
court at halftime leading 36-29.
Scott and Armour got hot
at the beginning of the second
period and UNC jumped out to
a 40-30 advantage. Scott con
tinued to add to his total of 18
second half markers and with
12:04 left in the game, Caro
lina held its largest lead of
the night, 61-45.
Led by Isley and Smith,
State did not keep a large
deficit long and trailed only
71-65 with 5:44 remaining.
From then on, the Wolflets
stayed within 10 points and
cut the margin to six on. nu
merous occasions.
However, the Wolflets could
pull no closer than six and
Carolina had to be an eight
point victory, its closest game

of the year.
Turnovers were frequent in
the contest. The normally slick
hall-handling Tar Babies were
guilty of inaccurate passing
and missed layups many times.
Double-dribbling, walking, and
lane violations were called on
both State and Carolina.
The fast break was hot the
threat it was in other UNC
games for he Tar Babies were
unable to come up with the
usual timely steals.

With Captain Lane Verlenr
don off the mats with a knee
injury, the Tar Heel wrestlers
will have to make some shifts
in the lineup for the Duke
meet tonight in Durham.
All four undefeated wres
tlers, John Stacy, Jay Jacob
son, Bob Steele, and Fred
Priester, will face-off tonight.
Jacobson will be moved
from 160 down to 152 to fill
in for Verlendon. He wrestled
this weight once last year,
and should take the match to
night. Filling in for Jacobson at
160 will be Bob Steele, also
undefeated and a good back
up v man. Coach Sam Barnes
doesn't expect any difficulties
to arise from the switch.
The remainder of the line
up will remain as it was at
State, with Bob Crane at 123,
George Johnston at 130, John
Stacy at 137, Steve Allen at
145, Jay Jacobson at 152, Bob
Steele at 160, Phil Wanzer
at 167, Fred Priester at 177,
and Steve- Lister at heavy
weight.
On paper, UNC and Duke
look like an even match. Both
beat N. C. State by one point,
and downed St. Andrews by
similar scores.
However, Carolina grap
plers haven't had any trouble
with Duke in the past and do
not expect any this year. Last
year's victory over Duke was
decisive.
A new coach at Duke caus
es Coach Barnes to estimate
that the Duke wrestlers are
better organized than they
have been for the past 10
years:
Duke's record is 3-1 and
Carolina's is 4-2.
The frosh wrestlers may
undergo some changes for to
night also, with some switch
es in the lighter weights.
The freshman meet will
begin at 6:45 with the varsity
wrestling immediately after.
Despite Verlendon's knee
injury, he is expected back
in action by UNC's next
meet on February 4.
