Christian Linebacker
Albert Long, the last four-letter winner at North Carolina, in
troduced Baltimore Colt linebacker Don Shinnick to a gathering
of 100 Tar Heel athletes at the Rams Club Monday night.
It was a meeting of the local chapter of the Fellowship of
Christian Athletes. -
"Don Shinnick," began the personable Long, "has been a Colt
for 11 years. He was an All-American fullback at UCLA. One of
the NFL's best linebackers, he has intercepted more passes than
any other professional football players at that position."
Long rapidly continued:
"So Don has had a lot of thrills, but not one was as great as
the day he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Now
that sounds corny, doesn't it?"
And then Shinnick, the broad shouldered, powerful number 65
of the Colts, stood before all those Tar Heel athletes and, after a
routine joke or two, talked Christianity in terms that only an
athlete would appreciate.
He contrasted the "majority team," and the minority
"It's easy to be on the majority team," he said. "You just do
what everyone else does. But what is important is to be on the
majority team in god's sight-and the minority team in
man's."
It all seemed kind of strange.
You locked around and saw fellows like Gayle Bomar, the se
cond leading ground gainer in the Atlantic Coast Conference last
year, and Jeff Beaver, the Tar Heel quarterback drafted by the
Baltimore Colts.
On the back row was Danny Lotz, who played on that great
1957 basketball team and is now a successful dentist. He's mar
ried to evangelist Billy Graham's daughter.
A late arriver was basketball Coach Dean Smith, who is on the
national FCA board. .
Shinnick, who does this sort of thing at least four times a week
during the off season, talked football and related it to Chris
tianity. "It's funny," he said. "I'm 32 years old now and I've been a
Christian, a real Christian for only 18 years. I thought I had.
always been one. I had all the ribbons and stars from Sunday
school attendance. I did everything the minister and Sunday
School superintendent said. I didn't doubt God, Christ or any of
those Church doctrines.
"But I learned the belief was all in my head, not my heart and
soul. It wasn't until a group at UCLA confronted me with the
question of "Did I really believe?" that I got on my knees and
asked God to be my Coach."
Don Shinnick is not unique among professional athletes
either.
The FCA, which realizes that the athletic star can have a very
great influence on the actions of his admires, includes such men
as Bill Bradley, Fran Tarkenton and Bobby Richardson in its
membership.
Bradley, in fact, will speak here this spring.
"We have about 40 guys on our football team," said Shinnick,
"and 30 to 35 show up for Chapel Service every Sunday before a
game.
"Our Coach, Don Shula, attends the services also.- You know,
after we were beaten by Los Angeles this season and lost our
chance to play in the Super Bowl, he said 'I guess the good Lord
is just testing us to see what we've got.' "
The Colts may have been the best team in pro football this
past year, better than Green Bay, Dallas, Los Angeles or
Oakland.
Their only loss was to the Rams.
"I prayed before that game and after that game," smiled
Shinnick. "I guess I should have played during it too."
In the question-answer period that followed, there were as
many queries concerning Shinnick, the Christian, as Shinnick, the
athlete.
After David Riggs, the football team's most valuable senior
concluded the meeting with a prayer, one baseballer was heard
to say, "I wouldn't have missed this for the world."

Two Carolina Relay Teams Seek
Qualifying
By OWEN DAVIS
of The Daily Tar Heel Staff
North Carolina's swimmers
face East Carolina at Green
ville Saturday with two goals
in mind: qualify the 400-meter
medley and freestyle relay
teams for the NCAA swim
meet.
"We'll go down there
primarily to qualify those two
relay teams," said Coach Pat
Earey. "We decided to try to
get the relays first and hope to
qualify the . individuals in the
Atlantic Coast Conference
championships.
"The relays pose more of a
problem than the individuals,"
he said.
Carolina has already
qualified for the NCAA meet at
Dartmouth in several events.
Phil Riker in the 100-and 200
meter butterfly, Fred Dan
nemann in the 100-meter
backstroke and the 800-meter
freestyle team have all crack

You'll never find Carolina
basketball coach Dean Smith
looking ahead and that's the
last thing he wants his na
tionally third-ranked Tar Heels
to do, too.
North Carolina takes its 18
game winning streak and
overall 20-1 record into
Carmichael Auditorium here
tonight for an 8 p.m. game
against Maryland. .
"I'm sure the Atlantic Coast
Conference tournament is veiy
much on the players' minds,"
he said Tuesday afternoon. "I
just hope they won't let it af
fect their play for the re
mainder of the season.
"We've gone too far and
done too well not to con
centrate on what lies im
mediately ahead." '
The Tar Heels can extend
their ACC leading record to 11
0 with a win over Maryland.
That would leave Virginia,
South Carolina and Duke still
to.be played.
"Maryland gave us a real
gocd game at their place,"
Smith said. "We beat them by
.seven points but we had to
come from behind early in the
game to do it."
The Terrapins, who have
defeated Virginia and Wake
Forest in . their last two
outings, are playing very good
ball now. They have improved
their record to 6-13 overall and
3-8 in the conference.
Will Hetzel, a 6-6, 190-pound
sophomore who scored 28
points against the Heels at
College Park, leads the Terps
in scoring and rebounding.

ed the qualifying barriers.
Earey also hopes individuals
such as Jim Edwards and Joe
Sanders in the 100 and 200
freestyle, Dannemann in the
200 backstroke and Richard
Williams in the 100 and 200
breastroke will make the na
tional championships.
"If we can qualify these peo
ple," he said, "our entire year
will have been successful."
Earey will put Williams,
Edwards, Riker and Dan
nemann together for the 400
medley bid.
"I haven't put that bunch
together this year so this will
be their first time with each
other in the medley," he
said.
"We won't peak for the meet
but just swim through it. At
this stage, these boys should
have developed enough speed
to qualify. I think they have
enough endurance, too, to do
it."

who average 13 and 11 points

out the staring lineup.
Hetzel has a 15-point scoring
average and a nine per game

much better team now," Smith
said. "And they always give us
a tougn game."
North Carolina is fresh from
this past weekend's North
South Double headersin
Charlotte where it took a 96-74
win over Clemson and a tough
34-0 victory against South
Carolina.
Larry Miller, who scored a
career low 10 points in the
South Carolina game, con
tinues to pace the Tar Heels'
scoring attack with 23.2 points

next at 18.9 and team re
bounding leader Rusty Clark is
third at 15.0. Clark has 197 re

21 contests. .; .1 .
The improving Bill Bunting

The team needs a 3:38.3 tim-

effort this year is 3:40.6.
The quartet that will swim in
the 400 freestyle is stili in
definite. Earey has six swim
mers in mmd Dave

Greg Meehan, Edwards, Dan

Bristow.
Sanders and Andy
The freestyle team must
swim the 400 meters in 3:12.J.;
Carolina's best time to date is
3:14.3.
"If we can get these in
dividuals to swim as they have
on occasion, we can do it,"
said Earey. "The four swim
mers each need to get a 48.1
for their leg, and Edwards is
the only one that has done it so
far.
"But 48.1 isn't that hard to
get," he said.

another sellout assured, one
would think that there are no
problems akin to the fever
known as the Atlantic Coast
Conference Basketball Tourna
ment. One just doesn't know, if
one thinks that is the case.
Take, for instance, the pro
blems of the eight athletic
directors who are faced with
the distribution of tickets for
the eight-team affair. "We
have received orders for four
times the number of tickets
that we have to disperse," said
one. "I always end up losing
friends over the ACC tourna
ment," says another.
Specifically, there are no
tickets available for this year's
tournament, not under any
conditions. Such is the desire
for a spot in the stands, that
good friends of the athletic
programs at the eight member
institutions cannot always
come up with tickets.
