Worth Carolina has the task
of defending its Atlantic Coast
Conference basketball title,
and both the press and op
posing coaches, say the Heels
will do just that.
Of the forty members of the
tlantic Coast Sports Writers
Association who voted in a
preseason poll, 39 picked UNC
as the top team in the ACC.
Here Is a rundown on the other
seven teams in the conference
in the order In which they were
picked to finish by both the
writers and the coaches.
SOUTH CAROLINA (8-4)
ACC, lft-7 overall). Coach
Frank McGuire lost S-9 Al

Fencing at Carolina?
Sure, and we also have a
cricket team secretly prac
ticing in Kenan Stadium.
But honest to goodness, UNC
has a fencing team with a full
time coach for the first time in
memorable history.
The coach, Ron Miller, is
long acquainted with fencing,
having handled swords for nine
years. His first mission is to
wipe out preconceptions about
the sport.
"A lot of people have the
idea that fencing is a sissy
sport," he said, "but to me,
this is a falsehood. An athlete
can find more than his share of
a challenge regarding physical
activity and body control in
fencing."
Fencing can be fun, as at
tested by a magazine article
by sword addict Alfred B ester.
In the article Bester told of his
fencing coach at college, "a
paranoid Italian who would ap
pear with a .45 revolver on his
hip. He believed fencing should
be a serious preparation for
the duel.

Gamecocks can boast one of
the top backcourt combinations
in the country.
Gary (Uregor 67, center, led
the conference in rebounding
last season and with forward
Frank Standard gives USC
good board play. Skip Kickey,
a 6-8 red-shirted senior is the
best bet to man the other
starting post.
DUKE (9-3 ACC, 18-9
overall). Vic Bubas faced the
problem of replacing the 40
points Bob Verga and Bob
Reidy scored each game last
year. Center Mike Lewis is ex
pected to shoulder some of the
scoring burden. The 6-7 Duke
captain averaged 15.5 last
season and also pulled down 13
rebounds a contest.
Tim Kolodziej who produced
9 points" for game,is back at
one forward with Dave Golden
and Ron Wendelin working at
guards. The other starter will

"Those of us whom he con
sidered promising assassins,"
Bester said, "were brought to
his private salle, where we
were stripped to the waist,
handed a razor-sharp dueling
sword, arid given a lesson in
the mystique of murder."
Bester also recalled the time
he "fought a Harvard man who
surprised me with a lightning
thrust to my big toe."
Miller isn't preparing
Carolina swordsmen for. a duel
or teaching the art of an attack
to the big toe, because he has
troubles enough coping with in
experience. The most experienced
members of the UNC squad
has fenced one year in college.
One member of the team said
he joined the team 'because "I
just decided to start fencing to
get out of Physical Educa
tion." , Miller began in a more
ortadox way "I was an assis
tant scoutmaster in St.
Petersburg, Fla.," he said,
"and we were looking an
unusual program for a dinner
meeting. I read in the paper
Tuesday's bout between James
A's Fred Carter and Charles

Deacons will miss All-ACC
selection Paul Long and
forward Jim Boshart, but Deac
coach Jack McCloskey thinks
his club will be improved.
Three reasons for this are
sophomores Dickie Walker,
Norwood Toddman, and Larry
Habeggar.
According to McCloskey,
Walker is "built along the Lar
ry Miller lines' (6-3, 200
pounds). Walker averaged 28
points are a freshman and
Toddman 23.7. Add to these
sophs returnees Jerry
Montgomery, a pre-season All
ACC pick, Dave Stroupe, and
Newton Scott, and the Deacs
do look improved.

return of Eddie Biedenbach
Sport?
Miller
that a "local fencing team of
fered programs.
"They came to our dinner
and I became interested. So I
went to their meetings and
have been fencing since."
Miller fenced in high school
arid college and coached a year
at Eastern Kentucky before ,
coming to UNC this year. He
has trained under Jack
Espanosa, a professional who
is a protege of Julio Costello,
. America's leading fencer.
Many of the large American
.cities have private salons in
which a "maestro" gives
lessons. "I had a friend who
made $2 million in 30 years of
fencing instruction in Detroit,"
Miller said.
But such conditions don't ex
ist in Chapel Hill. "When I
first got here," he said, "I was
pretty discouraged. The
facilities, equipment and team
didn't look like much, but the
athletic and physical education
departments have helped
greatly." ,
Miller has six fencers
Tom Ruff, Dick Betts, Jeff Mc
Cay, Dick Wilson, Bill
McDaniel and Carl Thompson
on his 25 man team with a
year's experience. Peter Batke
has fenced for two years. The
rest of the team has had only
10 weeks.
It doesn't take much time to
train a fencer according to
Miller since fencing "is a sport
in which you deceive your op
ponent. You outwit him both by
mind and body."
Three weapons are used in
fencing competition the foil
epee and sabre.
The foil is a light weapon,
and its point must be thrust to
the opponent's torso and blade
bent in order for a point to be
scored. These yeapons won't '
penetrate the body.
The ; epee a little more
dangerous. It is rigged with
electrical devices so when a
fencer touches his opponent for
a point, a light flashes to in
dicate a touch. Both fencers
have wire cords attached to
their suits and a touch may be
made anywhere on the body.
The sabre is more like a
common sword. A fencer can
score by touching his opponent
with either the blade or the
point, as long as his thrust is
above the waist.
Miller is determined to
broaden UNC fencing horizons
and is searching for women
fencers too.
An open met with several
schools will be held here Dec.
9, and Miller plans a clinic to
demonstrate fencing skills to
the public.

National League Votes
To Expand To 12 Teams
MEXICO CITY (UPI) The
National League voted to
expand to 12 clubs Friday but
pussy-footed about the exact
date by announcing it would do
so "not later than 1971."
There was no elaboration of
hat statement although it was
clear National League officials
had gone along with league
president Warren Giles'
entreaty "not to Jiurry" merely
because the American League
voted to expand to 12 clubs by
1969.

"This includes last year's
championship team," Williams
said. His office provides 50
tickets for the working press
and 50 complimentary passes.
"We have had 125 requests for
working tickets and well over
100 for complimentary
tickets."
Many of the requests for
working tickets came from
people Williams had not ex
pected to hear from. "We took
care cf 4T.!any of J.hese with
corriphnneLitary passes. I am
coirr.etely aifd absolutely out
of tickets."
This is what happens when a
team soars to national ranking.
The general public was the
first to be closed out on
(tickets. The student body allot
ment, of course, is limited and
now the press is finding en
trance to Carmichael
Auditorium a rough road.
The Daily Tar Hsel planned
.to man lie game with two
photographers. Williams had
only one ticket available, but
promised the Tar Heel that he
"would do something to get the
other photographer in."
Oh well, the President pro
bably didn't want to see the
game anyway.

North Carolina takes the
wraps off its 1987-68 freshman
basketball team this evening
when the Tar Babies entertain
Louisburg College in
Carmichael Auditorium.
Unveiling time for the yearl
ings will be 6 p.m.
The " game, a preliminary
contest , to ; Carolina's varsity
match with Virginia Tech, will
be the first chance Carolina
fans will have to see the new
crop of frosh. Four members
of the team did play in the
Blue-White scrimmage a few
weeks ago, however.
Bill Guthridge, in his first
year at the helm of the Tar
Babies, will field a club whose
obvious strength is good
height. The three front court
starters stand 6-7, 6-9, and 6
10. Lee Dedmon, a 6-10, 195
pound native of Baltimore,
MdM will man one position up
front. Alongside him will be 6-9
Don Eggleston, a 215 pound
Charlotte, N.C. product, and
David Chadwick, a 6-7, 200
pounder from Orlando, Fla.
Dedmon drew raves for his
fine play in the Blue-White
scrimmage. He scored 13
points and pulled down 10 re
bounds against proven varsity
stars like Bill Bunting and
Rusty Clark. Eggleston and
Chadwick also played in the
practice game as did Richard
TuttleJ
Tuttle, at 6-0 and 160 pounds,
is a brother of varsity reserve
Gera?d. .He will start at one
guard for the frosh with Dale
Gipple at the other. Gipple, the
only non-scholarship starter,, is
a 6-0, 170 pound native of Burl
ington, N.C. Tuttle is from
London, Ky.
Coach Guthridge says his
team is "a fair shooting squad
a pretty good defensive club,
and a good but not great re
bounding squad."
Louisburg, a junior college,
has six lettermen back from
last year's 17-10 club. The top
returnees are 6-0 Joe Penland,
6-3 Wayne McLemore, and 6-2
Roger Taylor.
"Penland," said Hurrican
coach Enid Drake, "is a

The Tigers lost six of their top
seven players to graduation.
Among the missing are All
ACC center Randy Mahaffey
and guard Jim Sutherland, who
scored 34 points a game
between them last year.
The lone returning starter is
borther, Randy Mahaffey's bro
ther, Richie, the fast in a long
line of Mahaffeys to perform
at Clemson. Richie hit for 10.2
markers per contest his,
sophomore year and will be the
key man in the Tiger offense
this season.
George Zatezalo, a 5-11
guard, offers the only help for
Mahaffey. Zateab averaged
22.4 as a freshman and is the '
only real scoring threat on the
team outside of Mahaffey.

points a game last year and is
improved this season."
6-7 Dick Drive is the top
freshman on the squad. Ac
cording to Coach Drake, he has
"plenty of speed for a big
man."
"They've already played sl
couple of games," noted UNC
coach Guthridge. "They will
have that advantage on us. I
know that if they could beat
us, it would be a big boost for
them."
The Carolina team has a fine
tradition to uphold tonight.
Over the past two years, the
frosh have a combined record
of 23-4.
