During the first season of the North
Carolina Collegiate Summer Baseball
League the Tar HeeLs swept both the
regular season play and the championship
tournament.
The summer league is the first on
campus league of its kind in the United
States. The league is new to the Carolina
program and, according to Coach Rabb,
"should improve the whole baseball
program by giving the players more g3me
experience and hot weather playing
time."
Heels ready to defend
3rd Carmichael Cup
All high school athletes whose grades
arc good enough for eligibility in the ACC
will hear recruiters describe their
universities in 24-karat terms.
But the UNC recruiters will be the
only ones in the ACC who can say their
athletic programs, as a whole, were the
best in 1970-71.
Carolina's third Carmichael Cup backs
up this claim. UNC won it convincingly
List year, by 6V2 points over Maryland and
V, point': over third-place Duke.
I he T ar Heels won league titles in
h.i-.ketball. fencing and tennis. Maryland
had four championships (wrestling,
indoor track, outdoor track, and
baseball), but the Terrapins did not field
a fencing squad and scored no points
there while Carolina was picking up a full
eight points for first place.
Virginia was fourth with 58!i points,
State fifth with 4'Mi. (Temson and South
Carolina sixth with 3(': and Wake Forest
last with 33.
Carolina wrapped up its third cup with

During the past season the Tar Heels'
record was 26 wins against 10 losses in
league regular season play. The closest
competition was UNC-Wilmington which
finished the season with 23 wins and 13
losses for second place.
Louisburg (18-18) finished in thud
place. East Carolina was fourth with a
16-20 record and Campbell fell to last
place at 7-29.
The Tar Heels' greatest asset during
the past summer season was their
offensive scoring punch, hive Tar Heels
finished in the top ten batters in the
league and a sixth Tax Heel was close
behind in twelfth place.
an unprecedented performance in the
conference tennis tournament at
Columbia, S.C.
The Heels won eight of nine singles
and doubles titles and finished second in
the ninth match. That was one point
short of a perfect score.
Carolina had only one undisputed
second place finish, in cross-country, but
backed it up with ties for second in
football and soccer and third place
finishes in swimming, indoor track,
lacrosse, and golf.
The emergence of new powers within
the conference helped break Maryland's
monopoly on the "minor" sports.
For instance, Duke won the
cross-country title in an upset and
Maryland stumbled to fourth, winning
only five points where eight were counted
on.
State's swimming victory (and
Carolina's third place) made Maryland's
second place less attractive, and Virginia
claimed the lacrosse championship.

weak spot in North Carolina's defense last
fall, may he a team strongpoint when the
Tar Heels open their T71 football
season.
However, according to Carolina Coach
Bill Dooley. that will depend on a big
"if."
"Three of our defensive backs
underwent operations last year,"' says
Dooley. 'if they can come back and play
as they did before being injured, we could
have the best secondary since I've been
here."
The three players are Rusty Culbreth.

'if we hope to be a contender for the
Atlantic Coast Conference championship,
we must get good play in the secondary,"
says Dooley. "Mistakes hack there cost
you dearly."
Dooley is certainly right about that.
Carolina could have bettered last year's
8-3 record with a stronger air defense.
South Carolina and Tulane both used
long pass plays to defeat the Tar Heels.
Carolina returns four players who
started at one time or other in the
secondary last fall. Two promising
newcomers will give the Tar Heels added
depth.
If he's healthy, Culbreth should be one
of the top defenders in the South.
Although only 5"9" and 165 pounds, the
Greensboro. N.C. senior is one of the
hardest hitters on the team. A blue-chip
athlete, he is also a dazzling punt

It happens all the time. A football
coach takes a few kwr.g seasons while he
gets his recruiting together, gets, set to
bring a couple of winning seasons otf. and
then gets fired.
His successor blows in. goes something
like 7-3. and is nominated for "coach of
the year."
Bill Dooley suspects that this process
has just taken place at Illinois, where Jim
V'alek left after four seasons and a record
of So2.
Bob Blackman (104-37-3 in 1( years a!
Dartmouth ) is ready to reap the benelits
of 3S returning lettermen. 15 returning
starters, and two straight undefeated
freshmen teams. And Illinois hosts

"I'll be honest with you. I'm not
thinking about Notre Dame." says
Dooley. "Everybody knows that they're
great, that their third team could
probably compete in any conference in
the country. Right now I'm just thinking
about Richmond Sept. 1 1."
Now. about Illinois. Blackman's team
has already been picked as high as fourth
in the Big Ten, ahead of Ohio State.
And he is planning to use on! tie
