The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, October 20. 1971 .Dooley expec by Al Thomas Sports Writer As far as Carolina's football team is concerned, it could well be 1970 all over again. This time last year, the Tar Heels were sporting a 4-2 record, winning the first four games of the season then losing two in a row. Garrett by Mark Whicker Sports Editor How do you stop Wake Forest's veer offense, the one directed by Larry Russell, the one that has amassed almost 1,000 yards in the last two games alone? "1 thought we stopped it pretty well last year until the last drive," says freshman coach Mover Smith, who has scouted the Deacons in their 21-14 loss to State and their 51-21 route of Tulsa. Last drive, our defense executed pretty well." The Deacons gained over 250 yards rushing against the UNC defense last year in Wake's 14-13 victory that knocked the Tar Heels out of the conference race and enabled the Deacs, picked for last place before the season, to win it. However, Wake Forest's renowned veer sputtered earlier in the year without running back Ken Garrett. The Deacs had trouble with Davidson, of all people, before winning 27-7, subdued VPI 20-9, lost to Miami 29-10.

The Deacons rallied daring that game in Wmston Salem, scoring a touchdown m the last few seconds for a 14-13 victory. This year in Chapel Hill, according to Carolina head coach Bill Dooley, the outcome may be just as close. is key to beat Maryland 18-14 in the second half, and then lost to Slate. With Garrett back, the offense has been rolling. Wake picked up 400 yards on the ground against the Pack and 52S yardstotal offense versus Tulsa, breaking an ACC record. "Garrett's the guy with the speed to kill you," Smith says. "He's got real good moves and adds a fast dimension to their veer." Larry Hopkins, at 200 pounds, is a proven fullback. With Garrett's threat to the outside to distract Tulsa, Hopkins simply rumbled for 230 yards. Garrett gained 153 himself. Quarterback Larry Russell, according to head coach Bill Dooley, has the rare ability "to make quick decisions." He called his own number earlier in the year, making the veer much more predictable, but with Garrett back is using a more ultimate weapon. . Russell may seem to miss last year's wide receiver, Gary Winrow, but Smith CAROLINA UNION COFFEEHOUS October 20 8-9 October 22 9 - 11:30 JIMMY CROOM Coming October 26 for two shows, S & BOB H INKLE, formerly with Oliver!

"I feel the game will be very similar to the one last year, itU be very- close. Wake Forest and Carolina were considered the strongest teams in the aKes says "they don't need a passing game anyway." The unsung heroes for Wake Forest are the offensive linemen. Guards Bill Bobbora (225 and quick); and Ted Waite (223) and center Nick Vrohack (233) are experienced. The tackles are new but big. On defense, most of the publicity goes to linebackers Ed Stetz, Ed Bradley and Larry Causey, but Smith brings back news of a good Wake defensive line. Dick Chulada, at 265 pounds, will be the assignment of Carolina offensive linemen Ron Rusnak and Jerry Sain. Another tackle, Steve Komondorea, w eighs 240. The ends are Randy Cox and John Hardin. "Stetz makes a lot of really big plays for them, but then he's in the position to make a lot of big plays in the first place," says Smith of Wake's middle linebacker. Bradley weighs 230, Causey a quick 202 on the outside. Much has been made of Wake's linebacker talent. Coach Cal Stoll called 9, Records Major Label LPs!

Wake Forest was upset two eeks ago by State, however, and are saddled with a 1-1 conference mark while the Tar Hee! are 2-0. "If thev are zoir.z to have ar.v h:re veer them '"the best in the conference and Southern Living magazine said that Bradley was probably the best hneba.ker prospect in the country. In my own personal opinion. I think our John Bunting and Ricky Packard are better," Smith says. In the defensive backfield. converted flanker Steve Bowden has been coming up with the big plays. Frank Fussell and Pat McHenry are experienced, although McHenry has not been having a particularly good year and Sammy Rothrock has spelled him with occasional success. And Chuck Ramsey has apparently supplanted last year's ACC kicker of the year, Tracy Lounsbury. Ramsey averages 43 yards a punt. "They're better this year because the have more experience," comments Smith. "They have more confidence in what they're doing. "And then there's Garrett-he"s more experienced, too."

She complained that Isherw ood. who plays for the Carolina soccer team, just wasn't getting the attention he deserved in terms of his play on the field. Isherwood's position didn't help. A soccer halfback can be compared to a defensive-minded guard in basketball -he gets the job done, but hardly anybody hears about it. you say? . X ALL1 A 1 w f.

Dooley also discussed Carolina's :r cry Anderson, injured during the Tu.are game, is also "doubtful" for Saturday Dooley then added, "like I said before and I want to emphasize this s a big game, a real big game " So it wus with Isherw ood until la Friday, when soccer coach Marvin A le moved him up to the front line, whe: the head!;; ,es a 1 ma Carolina's forwards had been stepp Id m a :-0 loss to N.C.

Isherw ood. a junior from Springfield. Pa., surprised every body by scoring two goals in the Tar Heel's 4-0 whitewahing of Last Carolina last Friday . Isherw ood was excited, his girl friend was pleased and the Tar Heels made preparations for Monday's ACC showdown with Virginia, last year's c o n f e r e n c e c h a m p i o n s . Carolina travelled to Charlottes ille and fought the Cavaliers to a scoreless he for three and a half quarters. Then, with less tiun tour minutes remaining m the game and the Tar Heels in desperate need of a goal to keep from falling out of the ACC race, Isherwood got his name in the scoring column. "I was just about 25 yards in front of the goal." he explains-, "and managed to get around my man. Anson (I)orrance got the ball to me almost perfectly and all I lud to do was put it in." Fherwood kicked, the hall sailed into the net. and Carolina nude j shjmbJcs of the ACC race with a 1-0 win. The victory sent the Tar Heels to a 5-1 over-all record, but more importantly, it evened L'NC's conference mark at 1-1. The ACC title chase gets more tangled with every game. Maryland, which has failed to win the conference crown only once, was the pre-season favorite along with Virginia, but both have already dropped at least one game. Clemson, whom the Tar Heels play at 10:00 this Saturday, jumped into the picture with a 5-1 win over Virginia but turned around and lost to Maryland. The Terrapins, however, were whipped earlier by Virginia. All of this makes Saturday's game with Clemson the most important the Tr Heels have played so far this season. A loss by either team would be near disaster.
