The Personuli THE DATT.v tar HEEL i 1 Of Carolina's Basketballers The sports star Ralph Fletcher most admires is that vagabond and good time Charlie of professional football, Joe Don Looney. Charlie Scott's favorite hobbies are music, dancing, foot ball and girls. Jim Delany's post school ambition is government work with the Central Intelligence Agency or the' Federal Bureau of Investigation. These are just a part of the insignificant, yet interesting trivia found in the North Carolina basketball press book, a first class, 43-page publication dhat has even drawn the praise of Sports Illustrated. Sports Information Director Jack Williams and his staff spent weeks putting the brochure's facts and figures together. None of its content is more revealing than the personality charts of the individual ball players, though. For instance, who would think that Gerald Tuttle's favorite sport would be soccer? Do they play soccer in London, Ky? Have they heard of soccer in London, Ky? London, yes but Kentucky, no. ' . -Elke, Ursula, Julie Favored There's a three way tie for favorite female film star between sex sirens Elke Sommer and Ursula Andress and the chim-chim-cherce girl, Julie Andrews. Elke and Ursula got their support from Miller, Bill Bunting, Whitehead, Dick Grubar and Flet cher. x Julie was the pick of Scott, Fogler and Jim Frye. Other votes went to Natlie Wood, Sophia Loren, Angie Dickenson and Phyllis Coates. - Paul Newman and Lee Marvin are 'far and away the favorite male stars. The Hustler picked up five votes and Sargeant Ryker got four. Sidney Poitier was a distant third with two. Bill Bradley, the Princeton Ail-American who studied at Ox ford before joining the New York Knickerbockers of the National Basketball Association, and golfing great Arnold Palmer, are the , most admired sports stars. Miller, who also cast a pretence for Los Angeles Laker Jerry West, joined Bunting and Frye in voting for Palmer. Bradley got support from Grubar, Brown and Whitehead. Football players dominated the rest of the votes, as Looney, Jim Taylor and Joe Namath were picked. 'All the returnees from last year picked some aspect of the great 1966-67 season as their biggest sports thrill. 'Miller settled for winning the ACC tournament. Clark's favorite was the Eastern Regional crown and Grubar's was the trip to the national finals. The big thrills of the sophomores were much more varied. y Scott pointed to his high, school team's 80 wins in his three years there. -'Scholarsv Choose Grad School Fogler and Whitehead liked the ' victory over the Duke freshmen last year while Delany recalled, defeating arch rival Seton Hall Prep when he was in prep school, ' ' Ricky Webb's choice was one of personal satisfaction. He pick ed the earning of a starting berth for ithe frosh opener last year. Coach Dean1 Smith likes to point out his team's success in the classroom and the players' post school ambitions points it out. Several plan graduate work. Morehead scholar Clark is a med school candidate. Grubar is looking forward to either business graduate school or law school. Fletcher and Whitehead favor business grad school and Frye and Scott, law school. Webb wants to be a dentist. None of that for Miller, though. The 'instant party man, while thinking first of a pro career, would like to own a business in the entertainment field. There are possibly two coaches in the bunch. Bunting for sure and Fogler, who is also considering a business career, maybe. o J Tl TO An cs (Z l I mm t i . uimiini like your bumper. Published to save lives in cooperation with The Monday night's game with N.C. State was a heated contest, perhaps one of the roughest of the year. During the freshman game, a fight erupted between Dan Wells of State and Richard Tuttle and Dale Gipple of UNC. Quick action by officials and coaches on both sides prevented a donnybrook.

Instead, Miller gets his kicks out of playing rough and , tumble basketball and making life miserable for opposing teajns. , Women Cagers ace Averette UNC does have a women's basketball team. Coached by Mrs. Cranford of ithe Physical Education depart- ment, the lady Tar Heels play a 10 game schedule. This season, the team nas won one game dm three outings. They dropped close ones to Peace College, 36-34 and Averette College, 47-46.

The UNC ladies are led by Rita Barnes who, is hitting for 13 ppg and Johnna Everette ".with a 9 ppg average.

Along with Super - Soph Charlie Scott, Miller led the Tar Heels to their 16th straight victory, a 96-84 conquest of the N. C. State Wolfpack. - "I enjoyed the game," said Miller after scoring 24 points and pulling down 10 rebounds "It was really fun." "I like to get out there and knock heads, especially with those guys," Larry went on. "The referees let it go a little bit and I didn't mind at all." The . : other half of UNC's Dynamic Duo also enjoyed the game. Scott scored a season high 34 points' ' with 14 of 23 from the floor. ' "I really .wanted to play well, tonight," Scott admitted. 'I don't think we played well at Raleigh, so I wanted to show State we were reajlyv a better team." Like the game at Raleigh, the contest was a rough one. A total of 46 personal fouls were called and there was a lot of contact without any being call ed. When asked if he thought the game was an extremely rough 'Smith replied, "No, I don't think so. It was just an ag gressive board game." Gerald Tuttle might disagree with his coach, however.

The Wolfpack players rushed onto the floor as Miller jerked Biedenbach off Tuttle. State coach Norm Sloan actually picked up 6-7 Bill Kretzer and 6-8 Robert McLean and threwthem back on the bench to prevent further trouble. Biedenbach and Miller had brushed each other in the first half and Kretzer shoved Bill Bunting in the final half. Commenting further on the game, Smith said, "I was surprised State chose a fast tempo. Our defense was the worse it has been since the semester break. Of course, state was hitting real well. "Our offense against their, zone was good," the Tar Heel mentor noted. "Rusty (Clark) did a fine job passing off from the pivot. He hit Charlie with a couple of good passes."

Maybe that's why they go so naturally together. College men like Creighton's seemingly careless, yet care fully rolled button-down styling. They like the canny blending of the proper with the casual. They" like the patterns and colors. Say "Creighton." You've said it all. Creighton Shirtmakers in Chapel Hill at The Hub Steve Tanger, Campus Coordinator ZBT Fraternity ir& The Tar Heel passing was outstanding. Tuttle hit Joe Brown in the first half with a beautiful over the head pass tfor a lay-up. That basket gave UNC a four point lead for the first time and Carolina never trailed again. The best exchange came in the second half when Scott grabbed a defensive rebound and fired downcourt to Tuttle. Tuttle hit Dick Grubar on the right of the lane. Grubar was already under the basket, however, and falling out of bounds, Dick tapped the ball back to Scott breaking down the left side and Charlie was fouled as he scored. State's Sloan applauded the play of the Dynamic Duo. "There's nothing you can do when two ballplayers are as complete as Miller and Scott. They can do it all and did it tonight."
