With bountiful crops of recruits and
redshirts joining a solid nucleus of
veterans, Carolina's football team
promised to resemble one - of those
Hollywood epics, with a "cast of
thousands."
The way the warriors have been falling
recently, however, it looks more like "a
thousand casts."
On Monday, 21 players were missing
from practice because of various
infirmities, 12 with injuries incurred
during this spring session.

If the ACC is graced with a Cinderella
team this season, the most likely
candidate would be Carolina.
Picked for the lower echelons of the
conference from the beginning, the Tar
Heels have overcome a disasterous spring
road trip to become strong contenders in
the conference race. After beating State

And the jinx has struck Vic Spooner's
offensive ends particulary hard.
Spooner had high hopes for rising
junior tight end Ken Taylor. "He was
having one of the best springs ever," says
Spooner, "really hustling and
developing."
Then Ken broke a bone in, his leg,
scratching him from any more play this
spring. ,
The other experienced tight end, John
Co well, is suffering from a "hip pointer"
at the moment, but should be ready for
Saturday's Blue-White game.
Spooner needs a third tight end to
back Cowell and Taylor when both are
blocking for short-yardage situations.

and second-place Virginia earlier in the
week, Carolina accumulated 17 hits
before being edged out by league-leading
Maryland 9-8 Sunday.
For the weekend, against the league's
two leading teams Carolina battered
opposing pitchers for a total of 34 hits.
In Sunday's shovdown with the
Terrapins, three of the Tar Heels, Mike
Roberts, Jack Gillis, and Bobby Elliot,
shared leading hit honors with three
apiece. Hard-hitting freshman Bobby
Guthrie, recently brought up from the
freshman squad, continued to impress
everyone by rapping out two hits in four
times at bat.
Veterans Larry Kiser and John Wilson
also contributed two hits apiece.
The game was a see-saw battle in the
beginning with the two rival teams each
trading runs in the first two innings. In
the third, however, the defending
champion Terps put together a four run
rally to take the lead for good.
The leading hitters for Maryland were
first baseman Jim Norris and centerfielder
Gene Collins who both had three hits in
four times at bat.
The outstanding performance of the
day was turned in by Terp fireman Bob
Grossman who came on in the seventh
inning to cool off the hot Tar Heel bats.
After racking up 16 of their hits in the

Chris Lee has been moved from
quarterback to tight end, where he is
catching the ball well but needs to get
adjusted to blocking.
Bobby Johnson, a linebacker on the
freshman team last season, has also been
installed.
The coaches were hoping that rising
soph Steele Alphin would be able to
move up, but a leg injury has kept him
from working.
Scott Reynolds is another promising
newcomer knocked out by injuries; a
shoulder ailment prevents the coaches
from getting a better look at him.
"I think that no other team anywhere
had a better set of tight ends than we did

manage one hit in the three innings
Grossman worked.
The Heels will have a chance to
revenge their loss against Maryland this
Wednesday but first they have to take on
a strong Virginia team today. It could be
a very tough week for Coach Rabb's
charges with both games being on the
road.
Virginia recovered well from their
Carolina oetters shut out
by Bruce Gurganus
Sports Writer
Saturday afternoon on the Varsity
Courts there was a replay of the age-old
race between the tortoise and the "Heel."
There was a slight change this time in that
Coach Don Skakle's Heel netters raced to
another 9-0 win, this time over the
Maryland Terrapins.
Skakle's tenacious Tar Heel tennis
team took their 1 5th win of the season
against only two defeats. The squad will
travel across the mountains to Knoxville,
Tennessee this weekend to compete in
the Tennessee Classic. Other teams in the
tourney are Tennessee, Southern Illinois,
and powerful Georgia. ' -

last year," says Spooner, thinking of
Cowell, Taylor and Tony Blanchard.
Blanchard, drafted by the Cleveland
Browns, caught 16 passes for two
touchdowns, while Taylor scored three
times and caught 11 aerials and Cowell
snagged nine.
At 6-6, Jim Steele has the physical
tools for stardom at tight end, provided
that work with the weight machine pays
off. Spooner is giving this rising
sophomore a longer look.
Split end, vacated by Ricky Lanier
who was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys,
may not be so hard to fill after all. The
coaches like the chances of Earl Bethea, a
Saturday loss to Carolina by coming back
on Sunday to give State their fourth
conference loss of the season. However,
their one loss dropped the Cavaliers from
second to fourth in the conference with a
3-2 record.
For Maryland, their victory Sunday
upped their conference record to 4-1 . The
Terps held on to first place in the race
despite the face they dropped their first
conference game to State Saturday.
Leading the way for Carolina was
All-American sensation Freddie McNair.
The Maryland native continues to be the
man to beat in the Atlantic Coast
Conference. McNair handed Gene Speni a
7-5, 6-2 defeat on the first court.
On the second court Jimmy Corn ran
his season record to 16-1. The consistent
junior took Neil Patterson by scores of
6-2 and 6-0. Along with McNair, Corn is
certain to be top-seeded in his flight when
tournament time comes.
Forrest Simmons, playing at number
three, won another marathon three setter.
Simmons slid past Gary Silverman by 6-4,
5-7, and 6-2 scores.
On the fourth court Richard McKee
ran his unbeaten streak to 17 as he

redshirt with good speed and outstanding
hands.
"He's also been aggressive on
crackback blocks during running plays."
says Spooner.
The NCAA has prohibited a crackback
below the waist, but this won't be a
problem since Spooner has always taught
the ends to aim for the rib cage anyway.
Earl Chesson, brother of Duke wide
receiver Wes, led the Tar Babies in
receiving with 1 2 in five games.
However, back problems have set him
back recently. The other candidate for
split end is non-scholarship sophomore
Pat Norton, who caught five passes as a
freshman.

by Andrew Adler
Special to the DTH ..
A very strong Florida Southern crew
coached by Bill Daniels, nipped the
Carolina varsity four by one length in the
finals of the Southern Intercollegiate
Rowing Championships held in Savannah.
In the Varsity Four Division, there
were five boats who had made the
breezed by Andy Cohen 6-2 and 6-2. The
unbelievable freshman has yet to lose a
match, or even a set for that matter, as a
Tar Heel.
Another of Skakle's freshman jewels,
Richard Hardaway, stretched his season
record to 15-1 with a fine 6-1 and 6-2 win
over the Terrapins's Wesner.
Fast finishing Mike Kernodle
continued to blast his opponents at
number six. Kernodle polished off
Yunger 6-1 and 6-0.
In the doubles action the three Tar
Heel tandems swept by all of the
Maryland twosomes in straight sets.
McNair and McKee, two of the quickest
rackets around, shut out Cohen and Speni
6-0 and 6-0 as the head toward the
conference title.

The Tar Heels will probably go for
more ouenssve caiance next year,

point on last year's team.
The coaches are as optinisiic as can be
