The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, March 17, 1971 nair FsMiidk (fwn wits XL TTTT T Tl f? w. "V"S A' A All The university crew team strains for speed on University Lake in preparation for meets in the coming weeks. (Staff ( Lake. The team practices every afternoon on University photo by Liiit Kolovson) Mark Whicker i ACC Awards of the . Year i '.'i The ACC season ended last weekend, and for some it represented the first deep breath they were able to take since early December. There was a continuous stream of disputes, victories, defeats, last-second shots, surprises and lane violations. It was impossible to keep everyone happy, but the raging battle kept almost every follower in Maryland, Virginia and the two Carolinas talking. Yet there were some performances that went unnoticed and unawarded. To . correct these omissions, the DTH proudly presents its "ACC Awards of the Year." ' -The "don't call us, we'll call you" award: To ;N.C. State's Ed Leftwich, who left the Wolfpack after shooting 39 per cent for the season yet making second team All-ACC. State responded with an upset of Duke in the first round of the tournament. The "gee, it's nice up here" award: To former Clemson coach Bobby Roberts, who worked on ACC TV broadcasts with his folksy delivery while v successor Tates Locke suffered with the Tigers, f.r ?LThe religious fanatic of the year award: To South Carolina coach Frank McGuire after he proclaimed, 'The Good Lord was one our side," following the Gamecocks' 52-5 1 win over North Carolina in the ACC tournament finals. The graceful loser of the year: Locke, after Clemson lost at Carolina 92-72, for saying, "Whoever ?made up our schedule ought to have their guts cut (open with a dull knife." r v -The "keep your mind on the job" award: To an "usher at Columbia's Carolina Coliseum, who with seven minutes left in the thrilling North ; Carolina-South Carolina game walked up to Larry Keech of the Greensboro Daily News and reminded him that no smoking was allowed. ?' ; The "didn't you forget something?" award: To Lee Dedmon and Bill Chamberlain, whose brilliant ;play in the ACC tournament made the mockery of the All-ACC second team. Leftwich and Maryland's Jim O'Brien were selected instead of Dedmon and Chamberlain. x f: The "things aren't right if your underwear's ' tight" award: To O'Brien, whose baggy pants and receding orange hair make him the most noticeable player in the league. The military-industrial complex award: To Maryland Coach Lefty Driesell, who said when asked if he was going to stay for the last two rounds of the tournament, "If you're General Motors, you don't take two or three days to watch Ford make cars." The Richard Daley "I am the law" award: To the referee who called a technical foul on Dean Smith for standing up to signal a play during the Big Four tournament. The graceful loser of the year award (to a fan): The Virginia justice of the peace who threw a liquor bottle on the floor in Charlottesville after Carolina had beaten the Cavaliers 75-74. The bottle put nine stitches in a child's head and almost hit Kim Huband. Most astute analysis of the year: To Dave Chadwick, who after the bottle was thrown, said, "Kim was so hot from the floor, somebody had to try to bottle him up." The "fire when ready, Gridley," award: Shared by Howard White of Maryland, John Roche of South Carolina, and Leftwich. White hit one for 16 against South Carolina, Roche hit four for 21 against State, and Leftwich went one for 15 against South Carolina.. The Dr. Frankenstein "we've created a monster" award: To the coaches of Dickie Foster, Paul Coder, Randy Denton, Renaldo Lovisa and O'Brien, who will surely direct their players toward profitable careers in horror movies after they graduate. " Best prediction of the year: Duke's Bucky Waters said at midseason, "We'll be like the Dallas Cowboys; we're going to put on a strong surge in late season." The Blue Devils won 15 of their last 18, but like the Cowboys they lost in the first round of the playoffs. Worst prediction of the year: Somebody on the Richmond Times-Dispatch, who picked Carolina for seventh in the ACC. Best reaction to the above award: George Karl, after the second Virginia win, said, "Where's that Richmond writer? He picked us seventh." The Charlie O'Connell award for best impersonation of a Roller Derby star: State freshman Tommy Burleson, who kept his elbow in Bobby Jones' face all night, like a good jammer should. The "dry look" award: To referee Steve Honzo, whose slicked down hair style draws cries of "greaseball" from the gentell ACC fans. ... -The Milton Berle award for the most cornball gags in one night: To the fans at Duke, who pasted signs across the bottom of the press table before the South Carolina game that said things like, "Saunders is Satch a good player" or "Oh Shaw, you know we'll win." Best-looking cheerleader of the year: Either Robin Anderson of Duke or Wendy Boulton of Carolina.

Maryland by David Zucchino Sports Writer Carolina baseball Coach Walter Rabb will get his first indication of just how true bis pre-season evaluation of the 1971 UNC baseball squad is today as the Tar Heels go after the N.C. State Wolfpack at 3:00 in Raleigh in the season's opener. Rabb has said over the past couple of weeks that the Tar Heels will hare to go to their pitching staff in order to win big this year, and hell try out two of his top hurlers today against the hard-hitting Wolfpack. Junior righthander Greg Pavlick, who posted a 2-6 won-loss record last season along with an inflated 5.50 earned run average, will start on the mound, facing a State lineup spearheaded by All-ACC third baseman Chris Cammack. Cammack, a senior from Fayetteville, made a run at the ACC batting title as a freshman and finished among the top five conference hitters as a sophomore. He slumped at the plate last season, but is currently on an early season hitting tear and appears to have regained the splendid form of his first two seasons. Rabb will probably let Pavlick throw a few innings before bringing on freshman left-hander Jim Chamberlain, one of three highly-touted southpaw first-year men on the squad. Since Rabb doesn't want anyone throwing for too long this early in the year, senior left-hander Russell Prindle and junior right hander Jim Rhodes will also be available for mound duty. Rabb has praised, along with pitching, the Tar Heels' defensive abilities and has expressed his confidence that Carolina opponents will be limited this season in their production of free runs. The Tar Heels feature a veteran infield composed of seniors Larry Kiser, John Wilson and Bobby Elliott at first base, second base, and shortstop, along with sophomore third sacker Mickey Hickerson. Behind the plate for Carolina will be junior Mike Roberts, who was voted All-ACC catcher as a sophomore. Rabb will give two outfield starting assignments to senior John Gillis and sophomore Peter Franklin, and will choose between seniors Doug Lanham and Ron Cox for the opening game slot in right field. The Tar Heel hitters, who Rabb says have been smacking the ball hard in practice lately, will probably face wily senior lefty Mike Caldwell of the Wolfpack. If Caldwell doesn't start on the mound, State, which has already played five games and has a so-so 3-2 record to its credit thus far, will counter with righthander Johnny Lewis. Today's contest marks ens of three times this season that Carolina and State will match up, but the outcome today wi3 not count in the Atlantic Coast Conference standings. The Tar Heels siso hav a similar three game arrar.-emer.t with ACC rival Duke. The Tar Heels announced today that they have added a contest vith Springfield College to their present 32 game schedule. The game will be flayed next Monday at 1:00 p.m. at Durham Athletic Park, where the Tar Heels will hold their home engagements until late in April, when they are scheduled to move into brand new Gary Boshamer Stadium on campus. The game with Springfield marks one of three consecutive contests for Carolina in Durham, as the Tar Heels host Kent State on Tuesday and Yale on Wednesday. Today's game with State will be broadcast over WCAR radio. European tooir Ibegio March 26 for Ibooiers by Marc Shapiro Staff Writer Members of the UNC varsity soccer team will be off to Europe on Friday, March 26 for a three week goodwill tour, during which they will play different Stickmen lose to Penn; Heel Seipp scores twice by Howie Carr Sports Writer The Carolina lacrosse team opened its season Tuesday by losing to a strong Pennsylvania team," 8-2, despite two goals by Tar Heel attackman Ray Seipp. The visiting Quakers took a quick lead with only 1:02 gone in the first period when Robert Smith slammed the ball past the Tar Heels' sophomore goalie Dave Schreiner. Carolina controlled the action for most of the remainder of the first period, but was hampered by bad passing. Penn struck again at 13:51 of the quarter as Steve Solow scored unassisted. Penn gotthe only goal of the second period when Joe Robinson tallied on a pass from Mike Marino with less than a Easy win for--James;' The combined team of James A and Pi Lambda Phi captured the 14th annual Grail Mural sports jamboree championships. They ran off a big 28 point lead in the first five events and their nearest competitor, James H and Kappa Psi, couldn't make up the deficit in the last three events. The final margin was 1 6M points. In graduate basketball, Dental Blue topped Law Blue, 49-41 to win the playoffs. Although Dental had only a 28-27 at the half, they made the opponents foul and converted 13 of 17 free throws. Payne and Delany paced the losers with 13 and 10 points respectively, while Miller and Garrison topped the more evenly distributed Dental Blue scoring with 12 and 10 points respectively. minute gone, and the Quakers had a 3-0 lead at halftime. Penn continued to dominate the action in the second half, with Howard Jackman setting up Dave Higginbottom's goal at 2:12 of the 'third period. Four minutes later Jackman extended Penn's margin to 5-0 as he scored unassisted. Coach Fred Mueller's hosting Tar Heels finally got on the scoreboard with 2:16 gone in the fourth quarter when attackman Ray Seipp scored on a pass from midfielder Bruce Led with. . With John Andresen scoring twice in 30 seconds, though, the Quakers pushed their lead to 7-2. Seipp came back with an unassisted goal at 4:35, but it remained for the Quakers to get the final goal to make the final score 8-2. Penn goalie John Schmick recorded 1 1 saves, while Tar Heel netminder Schreiner had three. The Tar Heels return to action Saturday when they host conference rival Washington College. Golfers set for opener it university and junior's cup teams. . Stops on the tour willbe Glasgow, Scotland, Dublin, Ireland, London and Southport, England, and Estorial, Portugal. Starting the season with high expectations, the 5-2-3 record was a little disappointing, but the team did end the season on a high note beating perennial power Maryland up there 3-2, and Duke very convincingly 5-0 at another away game. Season-end honors included all-ACC recognition for three players, Al Merrill, Van Allen, and goalie Tim Haigh. Since the season's end the players have been busy raising money to pay for the trip since the University is paying the way only for Coach Marvin Allen and trainer John Lacey. . Fund raising projects consisted of sponsoring movies on campus, selling Carolina watches and blazers and license plates, in addition to getting donations from local citizens and downtown merchants like Courts Drug Store, Carolina Coffee Shop, The Forthold Restaurant, Town and Campus University Printery, Ken's Quickie Mart, Julian's, and Danziger's. Despite all these efforts the team ended up $250 short for each team member. Unless they are able to raise the difference this money will have to come out of each individual player's pocket. Consequently any donations are welcome and can be made in the form of a check to the University Educational Foundation in Carmichael Auditorium. Carolina's golfers open another season Thursday at the three-round Orangeburg Invitational Tournament at Orangeburg, S.C. The tournament will run from Thursday through Saturday and some of the best teams in the South will be on hand, including perennial ACC champ Wake Forest. 5 Maryland, State, Virginia, South Carolina and Clemson are the other conference schools committed to the Orangeburg event, along with Tennessee, Georgia, Murray State, East Tennessee, Middle Tennessee and some other teams from South Carolina. Coach Ed Kenney doesn't like to compare his team with last year's, who finished fourth in the conference tournament but defeated Wake Forest in a dual meet in Chapel Hill. But he does admit that hell have a "good club," as evidenced from qualifying rounds. Marty West went through seven 1 S-hole rounds and shot one-under-par to grab the top spot. Joe Hackler was two-over-par, Steve Wright was three over and Jack Hooks was four over. Ron Parker and Tommy Barnes also made the top six, followed by John Vanderbloemen, Tommy Byrd, Lytton Perritt, Dave Weavil, Sid" Alandge and Peter Pottle. Wake Forest's top man is U.S. Amateur champ Lanny Wadkins, followed by Kent Engelmeier and Mike Kallam. inn J U r I i r3 T7nrnr El fit 1 I I J I I t t.m3 C3 JNJ u p n 0 i L3 UlA TSA7 SO VJ.
