It's ending for wrestlers
by Howie Carr
Sports Writer
How would UNC wrestling coach Sam
Barnes describe the changes in southern
wrestling over the past 1 0 years?
"It's gotten better, but we haven't,"
says Barnes, whose team is nearing the
end of a nightmarish 1-8 season.
When Barnes arrived in North Carolina
in 1950, he says, there were five
collegiate and six high school squads in
the whole state. Today, there are 22
college squads and i 75 high school teams.
.'There are. more collegiate teams in
this state . than in any other except -Pennsylvania
and New York," explains
Barnes, "and there's just , not enough
talent to go around."

only two ACC schools to award wrestling r
scholarships, and "there's no way of
knowing how many they give," according
to Barnes, because of; the numerous
partial scholarships and work-study
programs.

both athletically and academically, is East

Carolina. The Pirates gave out 14
wrestling scholarships to freshmen and
junior college transfers this year to
replace their senior-dominated 1970
squad, and it paid off in a 42-0 victory
over UNC.
In contrast with the lavish budgets of
his competitors, Barnes says, "all" we've
got to offer recruits is a smile and a warm
handshake."
While other so-called "minor sports"
have received scholarship funds from the
UNC athletic establishment, wrestling
continues to. rely solely on walk-ons, a
method Barnes sees as the only feasible
way.
"It was a mutual agreement with the
University not to give scholarships," he
says. 'The idea of a little bit of help in

person fcan ? contribute 4 in only one
division.
"It's not like in, say, basketball, when
you get a Charlie Scott who can come in
and turn a whole game around," he
continues. "If you want to get into
big-time wrestling you've got to have two
full squads, and it's ridiculous to think of
giving 20 wrestling scholarships when

Carolina's Tar Babies played their
shuffle offense better than Nipsie Russell
in picking up their tenth victory of the
year in Carmichael Monday night as they
blitzed East Carolina 95-75.
Bobby Jones completed a three point
play with 7:30 to play in the first half to
give the Babies the lead for the remainder
of the game.
The Pirates, with as much team play as
an all star play ground team, received
some flashy ball handling and scoring
from Ray Peszko, who had 17 points.
Strong Nicky White, a 6-8 center, kept
ECU in the game for the first six minutes
as he scored 9 points and it was tied at
17-7. He led their scoring with 19 but sat
out much of the second half with 4 fouls.
Peszko and Steve Steinberg then
teamed for sux points to take a 25-21 -lead
at 10:16.
A basket by Bill Crouch and two by
Jones made it 29-27, followed by Jones
three pointer and the Babies had the lead
for good.
The Tar Babies pressing man for man
then took its poisonous effect, limiting
the Pirates to only three more first half
points.
The Tar Babies outstanding duo of
Jones and John OTJonnell teamed for 53
points, O'Donnell gathering 29 and Jones
24.
you're not even charging admission for
the matches."
The UNC Wrestling Committee, which
was founded "in the interest of better
high school and college wrestling in North
Carolina-preferably at Chapel Hill," is
virtually Barnes' only recruiting aid.
Composed of ex-Tar Heel grapplers, the
Wrestling Committee publishes the
quarterly UNC Wrestling Newsletter,
which is sent to all potential recruits.
The UNC Wrestling Committee is also
the original sponsor of the annual High
School Clinic, which is held on the first
Saturday in December, and coincides
with the N.C. Collegiate Wrestling
Championships.
"We got 250 boys for the clinic this
year, and there were 227 competitors in
the Collegiate championships," Barnes
explains. "Our collegiate tournament is
unique in the entire country because
every college in the state can bring in as
many people as they want. And of course
the high school kids can talk to any coach
they want to."
Even with the clinic, though, UNC
wrestling has declined precipitously in the
last few years, and Barnes believes he
knows whv.

Carolina's baseball team, hoping to
rebound from a disappointing 12-20
record last spring, will move into
2,000-seat Cary Boshamer Stadium
sometime in mid-April.
By then, Coach Walter Rabb will know
how effective his three freshman pitchers
are, and how much the Tar Heel hitters
will have improved just in time to begin
play in a well-balanced Atlantic Coast
Conference.
"Many of our players improved
themselves during the summer," Rabb
says, "and if I didn't think our new
pitchers had the potential to be stoppers
in the conference, I wouldn't have
recruited them."
All three are left-handers and ran up
impressive high school records. Fred
Gianiny of Wheaton, Md., currently a
starting guard on the freshman basketball
team, Jim Chamberlain of Greensboro,
and John Danneman of Norfolk, Va.
could make Carolina's pitching staff one
of the league's best.
They will join southpaw Rusty Brindle
(1-4, 2.11 ERA last season) and
righthanders Greg Pavlick (2-6, 5.24),
Dave Bullard (1.2, 2.16), and Jim
Rhodes (1-0, 2.36).
; "One of the reasons we scheduled such
a strenuous southern trip during spring
vacation was to test our pitchers." the
coach explains. Beginning March 26, the
Tar Heels will play nine games in nine
days in South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida.
An improvement in hitting will be
crucial for a rise in conference standings.

The Heels hit only .221 last season.
The leading returnee with more than 50
at bat is centerfielder Ronnie Cox, who
hit .230.
Next are catcher Mike Roberts (.224)
and shortstop Bob Elliott (.1 73).
Roberts is being pushed by sophomore
Russell Niller, and Elliott may play
second or third in addition to shortstop.
Infied front-runners at this time are first
baseman Larry Kiser, who can pitch if
needed, second baseman John Wilson,
and third sacker Mickey Hickerson,
Outfielder Pete Franklin can also play
shortstop. Both Hickerson and Wilson hit
.333 in limited action last season, and
Rabb reports that Kiser "is capable of
giving us some of those extra base hits
that we needed so much."
The Gillis brothers, Jack and Tom, are
contending for outfield positions along
with Doug Lanham. who seems to have
helped the Tar Heels to the conlerence
title.

Although it is traditionally difficult to
pick the conference favorite, Rabb points
to South Carolina and elemson as the
teams to watch in terms of returning
material.
"Both teams have the resources,"
Rabb says, "and Clemson has the pitching
duo of Rusty Gerhardt and Dave Van
Volkenburg coming back as juniors."
Until Boshamer Stadium is finished,
the Tar Heels will play their home games
in Durham Athletic Park. Robb arranged
the schedule so that UNC has only two
home dates, with Kent State March 23
and Yale March 24, before mid-April.
The April 10 contest with Clemson
may have to be moved to Durham, also.
But Rabb promises that the new
facility will be worth waiting for. "ItH be
as good as any college baseball stadium
anywhere when it's completed," he says.
"Our main concern is to cultivate a good
playing surface, and then to put a good
team out on it."
