8 The Daily Tar Heel Friday, October 22, 1971 Half way point League by A I Thomas Sp-rrs Writer Football warfare ir. the Atlantic Coast Conference has now passed the halfway point, hut judging from this week's contests the real battles are just beginning. In one of the biggest, and more than likely fiercest, games so far this year, Cal Stoll brings his surging Wake Forest Deacons to meet the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill. Other games involving ACC clubs include Fast Carolina at State, Virginia at Army, Clemson at Auburn, Maryland at Honda and Duke at Navy. Wake Forest appears to be peaking just in time for Saturday's skirmish, coming off a resounding 5 l -2 I romp over strong Tulsa last Saturday. The Deacon offense, Soccer Carolina hooters host Clemson by David Zucchino Sports Writer You couldn't squeeze a soccer ball between the top .six teams in the current ACC soccer standings. With the lr71 season half gone, five of the six participating conference schools have already tasted defeat at least once. Coarch Marvin Allen's Tar Heels, now 1-1 in ACC play, have a chance to further complicate the league standings Saturday at 10 a.m., when Carolina hosts the "Blue Power Day" Carolina's Tar Heels are working diligently in preparation for Wake Forest and Homecoming Saturday afternoon. So are the Tar Heel cheerleaders. With no pep rally to kick off the festivities, head cheerleader Rabbit Giles of Raleigh is putting his fertile brain to work in trying to "psyche up" the capacity crowd for the invasion of the Deacons, who beat Carolina 14-13 in Winston-Salem last season and knocked the Tar Heels out of the conference title. First of all, Rabbit announces that Saturday will be "Blue Power Day." Every student is expected to wear something blue to the ball game, and to bring blue pennarts, blue shakers, blue hats, blue balloons, and maybe even blue ice chests. "After all, it's the spirit of the game that counts," Giles says. The Schlitz Distributing Co. of Durham is again awarding a keg of beer to mmsmmssfr in ACC dogfights behind the veer-genius quarterback Larry Russelll, has been more than impressive in rolling up almost 950 offensive yards during the last two Saturdays. The Tar Heels, meanwhile, have been suffering through their seemingly habitual mid-season slump. Somehow, however, dunng the past several days a resurgence of enthusiasm h3s appeared and the probable result: 31-21 Carolina. In a game just 24 miles from Kenan Stadium, the East Carolina Pirates will be trying to save their season with a win over State. The Pirates have an outstanding runner in Carlester Grumpier, but nevertheless even he may not be enough. State and FCU have each won one gar. e, but sophmore quarterback Bruce Shaw and backs Willie Burden and Charlie Youne should make that two for the Pack atmrday Clemson Tigers on Fetzer Field. UNC and Clemson are presently tied for third place the ACC, but the winner of tomorrow's bout could jump into a tie for first place, while the loser will definitely sink to the bottom of the standings. Things are that tight. Duke was on top of the standings this morning with a 1-0 conference slate, but the Blue Devils must play defending chanpion Virginia (1-2 in the ACC) this afternoon. Maryland, which has failed only once the best banner. All banners must be displayed at Kenan Stadium by 11 a.m. Saturday morning, and no banners are allowed to hang in front of the lower deck or above into the sight lines of the upper deck. All violating banners will be moved, as they were in the Tulane game two weeks ago. "At Wake Forest last year, they had banners all over the place. We've got to do the same thing this time around," Rabbit reasons. Balloons will be released after the national anthem, compliments of the Student Stores. Rabbit's big gimmick will come before that, however. He expects the student section to begin at precisely 1:20 p.m. with a continuous chant, "Here Come the Tar Heels." We serve over 500,000 North Carolinians. One at a time. Wachovia. MemStr Federal lV-it Insurance Corporation o imv? wm mm mm mmsm 4sam ettin with the scoreboard reading. Duke has been the most impressive ACC club during the first half of the season, collecting wins over Stanford. South Carolina and Florida. The Blue Devils have lost only one game, to Gemson 3-0, and this time next week should still have lost only cne game. The Blue Devis travel to meet Navy, and the outcome should be in the range of 42-7 Duke. With speedster Ernie Jackson now playing offense as well as defense, Mike McGee's worry about offense should ease. Clemson, Maryland and Virginia are all underdogs this weekend. Hootie Ingram's Tigers travel to Auburn, and despite their recent show of strength don't stand much chance against the nationally-ranked Auburn Tigers. When two Tigers clash the outcome is at 10a.m. in important match to capture the ACC title, is alone in second place with a 2-1 conference mark. N.C. State is 1-2 in ACC play and nestled in last place along with Viigjnai, but the Wolfpack trounced the Tar Heels 2-0 two weeks ago. For Carolina, now 5-1 in all games, tomorrow's showdown with Clemson represents the Tar Heels' second consecutive "must" game against ACC competition. UNC was burdened with a 0-1 comin "This will last for 30 minutes until the game starts," Giles says. "We want everybody participating." Spectators are unofficially discouraged from withholding their urges to yell when Wake Forest quarterbacks approach the line of scrimmage for crucial plays. The game will be broadcast on ABC regional television and Armed Forces Radio, so it is possible that more people will see or hear this game than any other in Carolina history. Deac streak Wake Forest has beaten Carolina in football five of the last six years. The only Bill Dooley victory over the Deacons was in 1969, when Don McCauley led the Heels to a 23-3 win. 1 SSVV '? Hi) r? mm mm- Otomumw hotter usually close, but in this case the passing combination of Fat Sullivan to Terr. Beasley should add up to a 3 S-l 4 Auburn win. The Maryland-Florida encounter may be much closer than most prognosticates now think. The Terrapins have "almost won" too many times this year to continue to be denied. Florida, however, finally won a game last Saturday by beating arch-rival Florida State and has momentum. The result: Florida 24, Maryland 21. Virginia, hoping to conclude this football season as soon as possible, meets Army in what should help the Cadets revover from recent setbacks. After whipping Georgia Tech and Missouri, Army lost to Penn St. and Air Force. This week they should resume winning, 27-14. conference mark going into Monday's game with Virgimia, but came through magnificently with a last minute goal to jump back into the ACC running. A win tomorrow would put the Tar Heels in serious contention for the conference crown. Right now the Tar Heels mast get by a Clemson squad that is returning 10 letterman from last year's 8-3-2 team. Forward Craig Daugherty, one of the finest freshmen players in Clemson history two years ago, is reportedly at full capacity this season. Lebanese all-star Nabeel Kammon, considered the greatest addition to the Clemson soccer program since its birth four years ago, did not paly last year but will bring his pistol-like scoring ability to Chapel Hill tomorrow. The Tar Heels will also have to contend with forward Joe Alfandre, who made Ail-ACC last year as a sophmore. Carolina, which has played brilliantly all year long on defense and faltered only once on offense, tied Clemson 3-3 last season in Chapel Hill. Tomorrow's match-up will be just as close. Dear Ralph, It was wonderful to hear from you after such a long time. The guys at OUR store are really into music so they just had to get into YOUR store (they saw your ad inviting people who were intqJfenjjy music to come visit you). They were really impressed by the advertised specials you ALMOST had when they came in for your sale early that morning. Maybe next time they can come earlier? C'est la guerre. At any rate, we were glad to offer our customers an even better price on the few albums you had left, since a sale at Ralph's is an even better sale at Record and Tape Center, 456 W.

Unlike football clubs on other campuses. Carolina's club, formed last year as a result of what one member ot the team termed a "fraud." his not enjoyed strong financial backing and so has had to re! on its own devices to keep the program alive. Don Stewart, a fullback, organised the plan to advertise for persons interested m playing club football against already-established teams at places like East Carolina and State. "That was really a fraud." Stewart grinned in reference to his early effort at creating interest. "There weren't any such teams at State or East Carolina, but after we got enough to organize a club here. I went to Raleigh and Greenville and put the same kind of ad in the p-per. saving that a club had already been formed at Carolina." All three schools now have such clubs. Interest in the Carolina club seems to be developing quickly now. as evidenced by crowds of 500 and more who have turned out, even in the rain, to watch the locals go at it. The history of the club's efforts is less than glamarous. Until they were given a dressing room in the basement of Woollen Gym this year, the players had to dress out for games as discreetly as possible in the bushes behind the UNC law school. Even with some support this year from student government funds, the team members still take care of the basic necessities like buying equipment and Freshman hooters host Independence High Coach Frank Nelson's undefeated freshman soccer squad goes after its third victory of the season today against Charlotte's Independence High School at 3:00 p.m. on Fetzer Field.
