Tar Babies Capture Toernament Before Carolina's freshmen took the floor in Fayetteville Wednesday night for the championship game of the Big Four Tournament, an intriguing question had been raised about their coach. The afternoon paper wondered, in a prominent headline, "Is success spoiling Bill Guthridge?" His comment that the Tar Babies "Just stood around" the previous night while eliminating Duke seemed out of place because of the seeming ease with which Carolina won. Guthridge smiled, folded the paper under his arm and sent them out for a splendid, fast paced victory over Wake Forest, a 95-67 triumph that left no doubt in Fayetteville that the Tar Babies at least, haven't been bothered by success. As a team they were, at times, one. At such times of unselfishness, when Steve Previs would give up a good shot and whip the ball to Dennis Wuycik under the basket to give it across the lane to Bill Chamberlain for a spinning layup, to the delight of a crowd of 4,400, the Tar Babies were untouchable. Such moments gained forwards Chamberlain and Wuycik the award of co-most valuable player along with spots on the all-tournament team with guard Previs. This trio of high school All-Americans thus capped their first year at UNC by leading the team to a 1602 record and the regular season Big Four title in addition to the tournament success. Much was expected from the group assembled by Guthridge and varsity coaches Dean Smith and John Lotz. Chamberlain, Wuycik and Previs, as well as Kim Huband, Craig Corson, Mike Earey and Billy Chambers were selected to follow and help replace Carolina's finest group of seniors ever. The 1968-96 freshmen demonstrated in Fayetteville that their selection was judicious. Duke frosh Coach Hubie Brown, who suffered four losses to the Tar Babies, said, "they have plenty of talent and Guthridge has certainly developed them to play as a team." Joe Quigg, center on Carolina's 1957 national champions, shared Brown's By Chris Cobbs view and added, "I don't see how Chamberlain, Wuycik and Previs can miss. They are all very quick and Wuycik, especially, has fine basketball instinct. "Tpo additional inches of heigWt would make Wuycik and Chamberlain out of this world. "We have to remember, of course, that they will be young next year and will be asked to fill in for players who had three unmatched years at Carolina." For ten minutes of the first half against Wake Forest, however, Carolina struggled and the plaudits awaited their comeback from an eight point, 24-16 deficit. The Baby Deacons, coached by Neil Johnston, a tall, bald ex-professional player, came out in an offense that set high picks, freeing John Lewkowicz for long jumpers with whcih he accumulated 22 points, his season average. Stan Zadrozny and John Orenczak also hit when they were not screening for Lewkowicz in the first portion of the half. They finished with 12 and six respectively. But Carolina caught up at 29-all on a Huband free throw with 5:08 to play in the half, and took the lead for good on a Richard Ramsey 20 footer. The score at half was 48-35, 16 of which belonged to Chamberlain and ten to Wuycik. A 21 point burst and tight defense by the Tar Babies the first ten minutes of the last period eradicated the Deaclet challenge. Carolina had moved out to a 76-53 advantage when, with 6:46 to go, Guthridge went to his bench. Wuycik scored 26 to pace the yearling drive, making good 11 of 18 floor tries and pulling down 16 rebounds, both game highs. The 6-5, 200 pounder was exceptionally effective in maneuvering free close in and putting up shots off the glass. He picked up most of his points in this manner. Chamberlain wriggled through the Wake defense in his crowd pleasing fashion and tallied 20. The 6-5 New Yorker stimulated the team in the first half when they were lagging by combining with Previs on a couple of exciting bast breaks. The play of the forwards was typical of their season's work, and so was that of backcourt man Previs. He had 13 points, four assists and numerious steals. Carolina hit 55.4 per cent from the field for the contest and had an enormous 48-20 edge in rebounds. Chamberlain trailed Wuycik in cleaning the boards with 11 and center Craig Corson retrieved six more misses. Wake concluded the season 12-6, with a 6-3 mark in Big Four play. N.C. State bombed Duke in the runnerup game. The Wolflets got 34 points from Ed Leftwich for an 84-65 decision. Leftwich joined the three Carolina starters on the all tournament team. Duke's Don blackman was the fifth member of the star squad. At awards time, Wuycik and Chamberlain joined arms and bounced out to midcourt withh broad smiles to accept the M.V.P. trophy. Wuycik kept one arm around his reammate and wrapped the other around the tournament queen Brenda Heath. Guthridge watched calmly. To the spoiled belonged the victors.
