Students at the University of Virginia couldn't have been more impressed with the University of North Carolina's basketball team Saturday night. And rightly so since the Tar Heels clinched their second straight Atlantic Coast Conference regular season title with a 92 74 victory over their own Cavaliers. Among those comments heard from the largest crowd ever to see a game at the Cavaliers' University Hall, 8,000, was this one: "North Carolina is fabulous. The entire ACC is proud of the Tar Heels. I hope Carolina wins the tourney and goes all the way." Briggs Andrews, a freshman from Richmond, Va., shared the same sentiments as the Fredricksburg, Va., junior Jay Ven tura. "I hope UNC wins the tournament because they deserve to after winning the regular season title," said Andrews. John Totten, a junior from Arlington, Va., and Charles Davis, a Rocky Mount, Va., senior, both predicted North Carolina would defeat Duke. . , "I am most impressed by Carolina's teamwork," said Totten. "They really played well together and they have tremendous ben ch strength too." The highest compliment came from Greg Reubben, a Long Island, N.Y. senior who rooms with Cavalier star Mike Katos. "They are better than anyone else in the conference," he said, "because they have so many players who can carry the load. Heck, with a couple of breaks, the Heels could beat UCLA or Houston." 8 Long Range Goal Remains Ahead When the North Carolina Tar Heels walked off the University Hall basketball court at Charlottesville, Va. Saturday night, they did not know that they were the Atlantic Coast Conference champions. The UNC victory over the, Virginia Cavaliers actually only clinched a tie for the regular season title. But at the same time' the Heels were finishing off the Cavs, 92-74, the South Carolina Gamecocks were knocking Duke out of a chanc to tie Carolina for first. Word reached the Tar Heels in their dressing room that they had clinched first place for the fifth time in ACC history. Only Duke with six regular season titles has finished first more than Carolina. However, the UNC players did not stage a big celebration after learning of their number one! finish. They knew the im- ? portant test was yet to come: the ACC Tournament. "It's great to win the title," said sophomore Charlie Scott, "but we still have to play in the tournament. That's going to be three rough games." Junior forward Bill Bunting added his agreement. "Winning the regular season title is nice, but our long range goal has been winning the tourney," Bunting noted. "Really all we gain by finishing first is top seeding in the tournament." Carolina's first round opponent in the Charlotte event will be either Wake Forest or Clemson'. Wake's victory over N.C. State Saturday, coupled with the Tigers' loss to Maryland, left the two with final 4-10 conference marks. A flip of a coin will decide who meets UNC. The Tar Heels don't seem to care who they play, however. Junior Joe Brown, perhaps, summed up the Heels' feelings the best. - v "It doesn't matter who we play," said Brown, "we'll be ready." Of course the regular season is net over, not by any means. South Carolina and Duke still remain on the Carolina schedule. With the title already won, would the Tar Heels be under less pressure when playing their last two games? "I imagine winning the title early will take some of the pressure off," admitted Bunting, "but we're still going to be out to win. "Those two games should help prepare us for the tourney." Scott, however, felt otherwise. "Winning the title now will put more pressure on us," offered Charlie. "We've got to keep from becoming complacent. Besides we'd like to finish 14-0 in the conference. Not too many teams have done that." Scott was right. Only two teams have gone undefeated in ACC play, the 1957 Tar Heels and the 1963 Duke Blue Devils. The '63 Devils finished third in the nation, bowing to eventual national champ Loyola of Chicago in the national semi-finals. The '57 Heels, of course, swept through five postseason games and won the national crown. None of the Carolina players cared to comment on who they thought would offer the biggest threat to UNC in the tourney. Neither would they state who they thought would finish second and third in the final standings.' So although the regular season is not over, the Heels have been assured of top spot in the conference. What good is that? None. The season starts all over next week in Charlotte. ... ' - - Ty m .v.. -...: -t v - , : '; ' f-. V v ' .- , ' - -" " t . Visit!

A I The Carolina wrestling team closed out its regular season this weekend with losses to Maryland and West Virginia that gave the Tar Heels a low ly 3-8-1 mark. The Tar Heels lost at Maryland ; Friday, 30-0 and travelled to ' West Virginia Saturday' where they suffered a 20-9 loss at the hands of the Mountaineers.' At Maryland, ' the closest UNC came , to winning a bout was in the 191-pound division where the Terps' Phil Zachman decisioned Fred Priester by one point. Coach Sam Barnes' strategy of bringing up several freshmen co compete with the varsity grapplers didn't pay off in the final results although "they looked good and will help us in the ACC tournament," s according to the UNC coach. The Atlantic Coast Con ference wrestling tourney will be held next weekend at College Park, Md. Barnes used frosh Jim Stephenson and Knox Tate against the Terps and added Luther Gartrell and Barry Pierce in the West Virginia meet. According to Barnes, "Stephenson looked good in both meets." Wrestling in the 167-pound division, he lost nar rowly to Bob Haan of Maryland by decision. He won by decision over Paul Blair of West Virginia for one of Carolina's three wins against i the Mountaineers. ' Seniors John Stacy anl Fred Preister picked up UNC's other two wins against West Virginia. Stacy won by decision over Harry Loterelli in the 145- P o ynl i r d urronnoH nn rPCfiilnr pound class and Preister out-1 season honors in the ACC race distanced Larry Gianni for a last Saturday night with a win in the 191-pound bout. samshing 94-72 win over Pierce missed by only eight Birginia at Charlottesville. It; seconds ridinff time of milling was the Tar Heels' 12th out a win against John Fickl inger. Paul Ogburn missed his' win by only 10 seconds. "We learned some valuable information about our strategy, condition and person nel," Barnes said after the two meets. "This will help us determine the probable starting lineups for the tourney." Barnes will likely use freshmen Fred Ball (167), Jim Glass U52) and Tom Whisnant (heavyweight) in the tourney besides those frosh who saw action against Maryland and WVU. Football Star Inks Pro Pact Jack Davenport, voted the Most Valuable Player on North Carolina's football team last fall, has signed a professional contract with the Ottawa Rough Riders of the Canadian 'League. The defensive back from Ardmore, Pa., was named to the All-Atlantic Coast Con ference team. He stands 6-0 and weighs 197. Davenport served as Tar Heel co-captain along with halfback Dave Riggs. Davenport was signed by Kelly Mote, former Duke University end who now serves as a coach and scout for the Rough Riders. straight Conference success of the season and the 16th in a irow dating back to a lss against South Carolina at Columbia late last season, v" We're glad to have first place sewed . up" said Coach Dean Smith. "It only means, however, that everyone will be going after us that much harder in the c o n f e r e n c e tournament." The Carolina team now has a j seasonal mark of 22-1 and 20 Heels already are assured of a better regular season mark than last year when they finished 21-4.
