straight defeat, 11-6, Thursday afternoon

"We can't afford to lose any more in
the conference," said Coach Fred Mueller
after the game. "From now on every
game is a 'must' win."
"Every time we came back they'd get
another chance," said Mueller, shaking his
head. "'

"It's impossible to say enough about
John Bunting," , comments Carolina's
outside linebacker coach Ron DeMelfi.
Unfortunately, most people around the
. conference haven't even tried.
Bunting was overlooked last year when
the awards went to the McCauleys, the
Deac record poor,
but Rabb is wary
as Tar Heels travel
by Dan Collins
Sports Writer
"The ball bounces good for- them
when they play us. We have to anticipate
a close game." -
These are the words spoken about
Wake Forest by Carolina's veteran coach
Walter Rabb. Despite the facts the
Demon Deacons are currently struggling
through a disappointing 3-7 season Rabb
is very wary of the conference foe in
today's game in Winston-Salem.
The team, 0-5 in conference play and
batting a dismal .169 team average, has
certainly not been burning up the league
with outstanding play. However, college
baseball is a hard game to predict and
when two conference rivals meet
anything could happen.
"I see where they have been is some
: close games, as has Duke.'," commented
Rabb. "As far as we're concerned we're
expecting a tough game."
The only Deacon with a batting
average worth writing home about is Dave
Evans with .278, and it would rate only a
. third class delivery. None of the other
players have been able to pass the
mediocre .250 mark.
Coach Rabb hasn't named a definite
starter for today's game but he has
(mentioned righthander Dave Bullard as a
possibility. "Dave has suffered a little
stiffness in his right arm but I think he
will be able to go," stated Rabb.
The conference game will be a big one
for the Tar Heels after dropping the 1 1-7

Harts, the Chessons. Yet his play was
consistently sensational, or sen&uonally
consistent, and he is the main reason why
the Tar Heel coaches aren't worried too
much about outside linebackers.
His partner on the weak side, Jim
Webster, has shown the same kind of
potential. However, a broken leg his
sophomore year caused him to miss
spring practice in '70. Then a knee
heartbreakef to State. They will be
looking .to recover some of the valuable
momentum they had built up prior to the
loss. - .
Despite the fact the defeat was
Carolina's second conference loss Coach
Rabb feels his team is still in the race.
"We've not even begun to think we're
out of it yet," said Rabb. "We're
expecting a. close race and if things go
right we could easily be a factor."
The game was successful in that it
marked the return to form of reliefer
Rusty Prindle. After being a mainstay in
Carolina's bullpen last season the
curveball specialist was bombed in his
first appearance this season against Yale.
" After Rabb had tried three different
pitchers without success he inserted the
lefthander and all of a sndden the
Wolfpack couldn't buy a hit. For the first
time of the year Prindle 's breaking
pitches were working and after facing
twelve batters he had allowed only two ,
hits and had struck out three.
After today's game at Wake Forest the
Heels will continue their road trip by
traveling to Blacksburg, Va. to take on a
strong Va. Tech. Team. The team, who
finished 15-11 last year, have picked up
three top junior college players and look
to be tougher than ever.
Although the game will be
non-conference, a win at Blacksburg
coupled with a conference victory over
Wake today could push the Tar Heels
season record back up to a .500
.percentage with 10 wins against 10 losses.

knocked him out of the 2st four games
last fall.
And behind these two are a two-year
reserve, a big sophomore, and a fast
refugee from the secondary.
To begin with, there's Buntir.g, the
personification of what a good linebacker
should be. - The coaches saw all these
attributes in the first quarter at Clemson
last year, and enjoyed the film as much as
a good hematolosist might er.jov
"MASH."
"On the first play of the game," recalls
DeMelfi, "he sprinted 35 yards with their
fastest back to deflect a pass.
'Three plays later, they ran a draw
play straight up the gut and Bunting
stopped it.
"On the next play, they tried a
quarterback option to the wealc side and
Bunting came all the way across the field
to make the play."
Outside linebacker demands good
one-to-one speed to keep up with
sprinting backs going out for passes. It
demands strength to stop the run and
agility to blitz effectively.
Bunting, a 210-pound rising senior
from Silver Spring, Md., is outstanding in
all departments. "He played 12 fabulous
ball games last season," praises DeMelfi.
Yet he didn't receive All-Conference
honors, probably because his
responsibilities didn't involve
eye-catching heroics. "He made those
three plays at Clemson that were

Carolina's golf team opens play today
in a 36-hole ACC medal event at
Aiken, S.C.
These two rounds, coupled with
another 36-hole round in Rockville, Md.
in May will decide the ACC
championship. The Tar Heels took'
Washington & Lee 17-1 Monday in then
last test before the ACCs.
Jack Hooks led the Tar Heel victory
with a three-under-par 69; John
Vanderbloemen .and Steve Wright
contributed 70s.
First man Marty West, who had a 74
against W&L, will be a key man in
Carolina's bid this- weekend. The Tar
Heels will have to contend with a
tournament-toughened Wake Forest team
and six other improving schools.
Ronnie Parker, Tom Barnes, Lytton
Perritt and Joe Hackler are the other Tar
Heels making the trip to Aiken. The five
lowest scores from each team will count

spectacubx," sjys DeMelfi, "ar.d the
average fan didn't notice."
Webster was spectacular in his first
four games as a sophomore, and then
suffered the broken leg at Florida, an
injury so severe that pain-killsr was
administered cn the field.
He was just coming into his own spin
when the knee was injured against
Virginia. Now he has been moved to the
outside and according to DeMelfi "he has
the speed to be very good there."
Mel Riddle will back up Bunting on
the strong side. He bone of the strongest
players on the team, but needs more open
field ability.
Sophomore Sammy Johnson,
originally a quarterback, will be Webster's
backup man.
"He is one of our finest rising
sophomores," says DeMelfi, "and
although this will be a new position to
him, I think he'll come along well."
Mike Lemmons has been brought up
from the secondary and his speed should
help him in reserve roles. Lemmons, a
junior, joins Johnson in trying to learn
the vagaries of a new position during
spring practice.
"Outside linebacker should be one of
our finest positions," DeMelfi sums up.
"Bunting is truly one of the best
linebackers in the country, and Webster
has all the possibilities of being the same
when whole."
In ACC meet
participant Jim Simons, freshman Eddie
Pearce, defending ACC titleholder Kent
Engelmeier and steady Mike Kallam are
the Deacon leaders.
Maryland, which tied UNC for second
in the conference tournament last season,
appears to be stronger with Bill Calfee,
George Burns, Dave Howard and Rick
Bendall returning.
South Carolina's Wade Mayo and
Clemson's Joe Vignati may be threats,
since they have had more opportunities
to practice on the Aiken course.
Duke, which finished second to
Carolina's third in the last Big Four medal
round, has Hank Walters. Thorney Hoelle,
who tied Wadkins for first place in the
tournament two years ago, . Bill Mallon
and Harry Cashin.
State's top threats are Dickie Brewer
and Marshall Stewart.
The Deacons will be very tough to
catch if they seize the early lead at Aiken
this weekend, so Carolina and the other1 '
