The new season begins for the North
Carolina Tar Heels this week when they
enter the Atlantic Coast Conference
Basketball Tournament in Greensboro as
the top-seeded team.
Coach Dean Smith's Tar Heels won the
top-seeded berth by capturing the
league's regular season championship with
a record of 11-3. "But nothing that has
happened so far means anything now,"
says Smith. "The new season begins on
Thursday." Carolina opposes ClemsoD in
the first round at 1 :30 p.m. Thursday.
Carolina dropped its final regular
season game Saturday to fired-up Duke
on the Blue Devils' home court, 92-83.
That brought up the question about how
much momentum means going into the
tournament.
"I don't think momentum means all
that much," says Smith. "We've won it
both ways. We've taken the tournament
after winning final regular season games.
And we've also won the tournament after
losing our last game of the regular
season."
A study of the closing regular season
results of the tournament champion for
the past 10 years show that there is no
clear pattern. Here's how it has gone since
1960:
1 9 6 0 R e g u lar season
champ Carolina. Tournament
champ Duke. Duke had dropped three
of its last four games before the
tournament, including a 25-point loss to
UNC and a 19-point loss to Wake Forest.

Bedell, a junior from West Caldwell,

Atlantic Coast Conference
Championships two weeks ago, but UNC
Coach Pat Earey is confident he will
bounce back.

Fencers capture ACC
by Don Albright
Sports Writer
The North Carolina fencing team has
made its domination of the Atlantic
Coast Conference official by capturing
the first annual ACC tourney held here at
Woolen Gymnasium over the past
weekend.
The Tar Heels scored a total of 87
wins in the 2-day, 4-round affair which
involved fencing teams from five of the
conference schools.
Duke finished in second place, 5
, points behind the winner. N.C. State's 69
points captured for them a distant third.
Virginia placed fourth with 49 and
Clemson trailed the field with a 27 total.
In viewing the team victory, head
coach Ron Miller said: "It feels really
good to win the first ACC tourney. After
we' won the i regular season, I f elt we could
do it, but we've never been a particularly
strong tournament team.
"Despite some inconsistencies, we still
managed to come through with the

necessary big wins. Everyone on the team
made a significant contribution and I can
only add that I would like to have seen
more of our fencers compete."
Carolina was paced by the superb
performance of epee-men Jon Pavloff and
Chad Hilton with near-perfect 13-1
records. Hilton was awarded first place in
the weapon after a face-off with his
teammate. Ben Brinson was 9-5 for the
tourney.
Bo McBee was the only Tar Heel to
place in the top three in sabre. His 11-3
record was one back of the winner,
Manuel Garcia of State. Dave Brown of
UNC tied for third but was placed fifth
due to the number of touches against
him. Dick Betts finished 8-6 for Carolina.
The foil team was the only squad that
failed to win as a weapon unit as Duke
edged them by a 25-23 score. Charles
Poteat placed third for the Heels with a
10-4 record. , Robert Varley was 8-6 and
Brad Veslick was 5-9.

PiKa Blue moved into the finals of the
Fraternity Blue division tournament by
blasting Chi Psi Blue 53-37 last week.
PiKa outscored the opponents 31-18
in the first half and converted 14 of 20
free throws.
The big gun for the winners was
Johnny Cowell with 22 points and
Johnston helped with 15. Bill Skeels was
the only Chi Psi in double figures.
Kappa Sig White stormed from behind
to defeat Chi Psi White in white division
tournament play.
Kappa Sig trailed 22-20 at halftime,
but exploded for 36 in the second half
while the Chi Psis could make only 17
points.
Laws, Leonard and Thomas got 14, 1 1
and 10 points respectively for the
balanced winners, while Merrile got II
for Chi Psi White.
Usually Ehringhaus A Blue is the team

Eric Hyman and Ken Taylor scored 14

Coach Miller noted that he was
particularly proud of the bout in which
Veslick fenced against Virginia's Steve
Hatten, the weapons individual champion
with a 12-2 record. Veslick took an
impressive 5-2 victory over the Virginian.
The actual outcome of the meet was
never in any real doubt, as the Tar Heels
jumped off to a quick lead in the first
round and were never threatened. The
lead rose to as many as 10 bouts before it
was cut to its smallest at the finish.
The tournament victory gave coach
Miller's fencers their third conference
championship in four years of
competition. This year's team finished
with a 10-1 overall record, the only loss
being to Cornell. Three fencers in each
weapon will now represent the Tar Heels
in' the; Southeastern Division
aiampiohships which' '"'will be held ' in
Durham next weekend.
