Thursday, December 5, 1963 Page 4 THE DAILY TAR HEEL By Chris Cobbs Sport Gives elping Hand H 6 w e Haven 9. It must have been Do-Something-Nice-For-The-Rich Day. Tuesday the helping hand went out in the realm of sport, bestowing goodies on those already blessed with athletic niceties. You only had to look as far as Carmichael Auditorium to see a hardy Carolina receive aid. The Tar Heels were buttressed from within. Senior forward Bill Bunting played one of his best games since he began his Chapel Hill career. Oregon center Stan Love was especially impressed. "I think Bunting came as near single-handedly killing us as anything," said Love. "He has to be the strongest 190-pound man I've ever seen." Bunting had 14 points, played aggressive defense and rebounded strongly and frequently. The Heels found another bonus in highly regarded sophomore Lee Dedmon. "The kid's really coming," Coach Dean Smith praised. "Dedmon will bulk our inside game with a little experience under his belt. He still hurts us just a little on defense, but we'll get that down before long." With Kentucky coming up Saturday, UNC's juicy Tuesday could prove quite timely. Ohio State, the country's number one college football team was done a courteous deed by Notre Dame, which is perennially the country's best team in the summer but something less by the middle of winter. The Irish not only tied Southern Cal last week to bump the Trojans from their perch atop the grid ratings but Ara Parseghian and his staff devised a defense to stop O.J. Simpson. The odd thing was that the defense worked. O. J. gained only 55 yards, and nobody had ever held him to such a low pick-up. Most teams were previously lucky to limit Simpson to 100 yards a half. But the Irish studied the All-American's unstoppable style-his way of ambling up to the line of scrimmage to look for day light before flashing his feet and hitting the hole he found, Notre Dame decided to let O. J. come to them. The Irish defensive forwards were told "to hit and slide with O. J." by the board of experts assembled by Parseghian. This non-aggressive play changed abruptly when Simpson rushed into the line, changing to highly effective pursuit and gang tackling. So Ohio State, Rose Bowl bound to take on O. J. and USC, was a lot better off Tuesday. They were newly-voted number one and they had, in all likelihood, found a way to stay there. WW armed. By ART CHAN SKY DTH Asst.

"You would never realize that it was the same Oregon team as last night," Smith said and remained that way until the 106-73 demolishing had been completed.

The two wins over the Ducks were significant in light of each other, however. Tar Heel fans left Greensboro Coliseum Monday night with doubts about their precious hoop team, but they were rocked back into the "Hev. Not having Gaskins hurt, but it was in not decisive," he concluded. Gaskins or no Gaskins, the Tar Heels were not to be denied in front of the huge opening night throng.

Bill Bunting, formerly just a rebounder, turned scoring demon and was second only to Charlie Scott's razzle dazzleness from individual honors. Dick Grubar was his superb self on defense, and Joe Brown and Lee Dedman took Fogler's and Gerald Tuttle's passes and turned them into one crowd-pleasing bucket after another. Scott took his own passes and made the place go beserk. It was a good early season victory, one that enabled Smith to clear his entire bench before the game ended. All 14 Tar Heels needed a shower before leaving the locker room. "Grubar and Bunting do so much defensively, that their efforts often go unnoticed," Smith said. "And Fogler did a fine job quarterbacking the club in his first start." Regardless, the coach warns ' rW-.v - Sj below their peak and must improve greatly if they hope to 3 with it confidence for another sensational year.

The swimmers host the Gamecocks at 2 p.m. Saturday H Baseball, everyone says, is in danger of dying of boredom. The boredom brought on by batters not being able to hit the ball was the target of the game's rules committee Tuesday. In major rules' changes, the strike zone was reduced to the area between the armpits and tops of the knees, and the height of the pitching mound was chopped from 15 to 10 inches. But men who hit .300 most of their careers before falling off in the last two or three years probably won't find the move itself as rejuvenating as a lot of fans might hope. "If they think this is going to make .300 hitters," said outspoken pitcher Don Drysdale of the Los Angelos Dodgers, "They've mistaken. Last year could have been just a one year thing. I think they should have waited a year to see how it goes before panicking like this.' Last season overpowering hurlers reduced the number of swingers in the charmed .300 circle to six. But anyone with a lifetime mark over the select mark-natural hitters such as Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente and Tony Oliva-just doesn't figure to stay down long. They've got the ability and have demonstrated it year after year. And now they've got the rules seemingly in their favor. It was just eight years ago that baseball was threatened by too much hitting. Remember Roger Maris, the man who made asterisks as famous as Babe Ruth made home runs? And remember the "rabbit ball" he clouted out of ball parks in such profuse numbers? The rabbit ball might have been a kinder gesture than the mini-mound.

The telecast, next scheduled for the Virginia encounter here Dec. 17, drew an audience of about 600 to Tuesday night's home opener against Oregon. The crowd-size didn't measure up to expectations, but Crook said, "We didn't get enough publicity to the students. The holiday break limited publicity, and then the announcement in the Daily Tar Heel didn't come out until the morning of the game1 ' If enough interest Is expressed with reasonable attendance at the Virginia telecast, we will go ahead with our planned five showings." The Tar Heels have eight home games remaining, but one will be telecast on WUNC's broadvision and two on commercial television. The next Carmichael Auditorium contest Dec. 16 and 8 will be on the conference's scheduled telecasts. Closed circuit operations will only be for those games not otherwise telecast.

"It would be a great boost to the club if we could beat them, but everyone must play to his capacity and we have to have the supreme team effort." Smith announced that senior guard Gerald Tuttle, a native of London, Ky., would start in Lexington for "other than sentimental reasons." "Gerald has played excellent basketball against Kentucky for the past two years, and if s my hunch that he will play well again in front of the home crowd," Smith .said. -"We have great confidence in Tuttle's ability, and that's why he will play."
