Thursday, March 9, 1967 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Page 5 TV FT Williams In Tough NCAA Mile By DRUMMOND BELL DTH Sports Writer This weekend the nations' top collegiate track stars gather in Detroit, Michigan to participate in the NCAA championships. Throughout the indoor season everyone of these men have been pointing toward this me'et since every championship from now until the Olympic Trails is of great importance. Carolina has not had an outstanding entry for this meet since the Scurlock-Beatty era, but this year jun ior Mike Williams will carry the North Carolina colors to Detroit. Williams has been improving for the past three years and. has dominated the ACC in the mile. Last year he captured the indoor and outdoor crowns and this season, won the ACC cross country title and re tained his indoor mile title with ease. During the Christmas holidays he won the Orange Bowl Invitational mile in Miami, Florida and led Coach Hilton's team to a second place finish behind Mary land in the ACC Indoor Games. Last year Williams ran the half in the NCAA's, but the Floridian has moved up to the mile where his natural speed is his greatest asset. Before the conference meet Williams ran in Madi son Square Garden in the Federation meet, but plac ed poorly due to such bad breaks as slipping at the start and almost being thrown off the track by el bows. However, Mike realized his mistakes. If he had gone out fast, and forced his competition to pass him, the results may have been different. At Detroit Williams will be in fast company. Dave Patrick, who broke the four minute barrier indoors at the Garden in the New York Athletic Games, is entered for Villanova. Jim Ryun, the world's top mid dle distance runner, may. run the mile and half. Last week Ryun broke the world indoor half record with a 1.49.3 and may concentrate on this event in the Motor City. . Hojweyer, Williamslias notbMg;'to"ldserHe"rian' a fast 2:59.3 three-quarters the other day and felt that he could have run another good quarter. The finals for the mile are run on Saturday eve ning. Before this event Williams will have to run in the qualifications. At present, he wants to qualify and if he does, Carolina can be proud of this achievement. Cheerleaders Allowed At.

SATURDAY, MARCH 11 MEMORIAL HALL A Graham Memorial Production Tar Heels Face Tough Competition In Tourney By OWEN DAVIS DTH Asst. Sports Editor Although such lowly teams as State, Wake Forest, Vir ginia and Maryland are be ing promoted as potential spoilers in the ACC tourna ment, the outcome of the tour ney is beyond their power to change. There have been upsets of course in the tournament, but if Carolina plays three good games like the VPI or Duke contests, the championship will be sewed up no matter how well the other teams per form. The Tar Heels are clearly the best squad in the confer ence when they decide to play a respectable ballgame.

" i II If I have the Tar Heels lost with the possible exception of the Princeton game. If Carolina performs decent ly against State tonight, the Wolfpack could play their best game of the year and still lose. The same can be said for the other teams in the con ference. Except when Princeton shot a phenomenal 66 per cent from the floor, the UNC defeats have come at the Tar Heels own making. When they have lost, they have beaten them selves. No conference team can claim victory over a well-functioning Carolina basketball team. The Clemson and South Carolina losses were not due to particularly great play by either of the South Carolina 58-52. Packard and Hughes paced the tnn. The Craige C Jams took- the Craige A.

Main St, Carrboro, Next to the Tar Heel Car Wash schools, but to the inability of the Tar Heels to turn in a per formance expected of the na tion's third-ranked school. The outcome of the tourney thu-eiore rests in the hands of Dean Smith's men. Carolina can either win it or blow it, -but no other team can win without a poor UNC showing. There is one major problem, however." The Tar Heels have a penchant for close games and sometimes seem bent on making the decision close even if it takes a subpar per formance. They have not play ed their best very often. Although Carolina has bare ly edged Wake Forest twice, the Tar Heels have not play ed good basketball in either game. The one-point win over State and both Maryland games -were close not because the op position played great basket ball, but because Carolina did not. Clemson and South Carolina were defeated when the Tar Heels played , well and were not beaten when Carolina blew its lead. For all practical purposes, the other seven conference schools are at the mercy of Carolina. Their only hopes for the ACC championship lie in a flop by the Tar Heels. At the same time, the pow er to decide the winner is par tially in the hands of the three UNC sophomore starters. ; Carolina has met pressure many times gefore, but never before have three days held the relative success of the en- . tire season. Rusty Clark, Dick Grubar, and Bill Bunting will get the acid test in the tour ney games. If they wilt, Carolina will probably be finished for the season. If they overcome their inexperience in championship competition, even the suppos edly poised Duke unit will be through. Here is where Dean Smith must become a psychological genius. Having never before played in the tournament, the sophs do not really know what to expect. It is up to Smith to prepare them mentally for! the big test. Grubar, Clark, and Bunt , ,ing have the " ability, but .. whether ,, they can withstand the pressure is another story. t ' i i J, William R. White SPECIAL AGENT Henry L Brown Agency 121 N.
