LaGarde scored 12 points and grabbed 8 rebounds as the Tar Heels ruled the board by a 40-27 margin. LaGarde is being counted on to help combat Maryland's Tom Roy and Owen Brown in Saturday's ACC showdown. Track season ends by Bill Moss Sports Writer With only a week, remaining before the ACC championships, the UNC indoor track team will wind up the regular season with a Tin Can encounter against three teams from south of the border. Clemson, South Carolina and Furman will invade the gloomy confines of the gray structure in a meet 12 p.m. Saturday . that will give coaches Joe Hilton and Hubert West one last look at the Tar Heel squad. Sam Beasley victorious last week in the long and triple jump is out with a sore leg, but should be back for the trip to the ACCs at College Park, Md. Hilton's strategy or Saturday will be to load, two distance medley teams with.; top-flight runners in an effort to qualify one of them for the NCAA's. He is casting his most optimistic glances towards the team of Tommy Ward, Reggie Brown, Henry Jones and Ralph King. "I feel like we've got a real chance of qualifying for the nationals," he said. "We're not worrying about other events that much. Basically we've qualified (for the ACCs) in the other events as many as we can." Part-Time and Summer Opportunities in Sales.

South Carolina will bring "a solid track team and some good middle-distance men."

An off-shooting night also hampered U N C, w hich usually ranges in the 55 per cent realm as opposed to the 44. 1 per cent it tallied against the Devils, who had a 45.9 per cent.

If you want to see Chris Kupec quarterback next season, you might try transferring to Buffalo State. Trie ' 5th draft pick by the Buffalo Bills was denied another collegiate season by a decision of the ACC faculty .board. .: In one of the first major NCAA" ' decisions to be defeated by the ACC, the new hardship eligibility rule was ';. voted down yesterday at the winter convention in Greensboro. ,y The new rule, as adopted by the NCAA on Jan. 9, gives an extra year :6i eligibility to any football player still in college who played in no more than two games in the first half of a season and was then sidelined by an injury for the remaining schedule. Following the NCAA's decision, each conference was to determine whether it wished to use this ruling or the original one which stipulates Vv p o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o ii '?.-, M I t - i w ; K ' x , ') r" .y'f I f ' ' fir s' , h yH , , r Z ''s. . . .- iimini mi i n i m1 come down and make a few spinning moves and hit four straight." ' Turning rapidly to the Maryland game, he offered, "We started with great intensity (against Duke), but it slacked off somewhere near the end of the first half. We played smart, but we have to have that great intensity Saturday." A frustrated Bill Foster shook his head as he looked at the statistics sheet after his team's loss, which sends it to a 12-9 overall record. "It's the same old story." he lamented. "We can't seem to get the loose balls," and "when Hodge and Fly' (Fleischer) are in foul trouble, we're in trouble." Now Carolina faces Maryland, which earlier this season (Jan. 25) it defeated 69-66 at College Park. That upset propelled the Tar Heels into a firm contention for the ACC crown since Maryland had already dropped an earlier battle to Clemson. T Since that time, the Tar Heels have fallen to Clemson (72-80 at Death Valley Feb. 1). while Maryland has gone unbeaten against N.C. State, Virginia and Duke. Carolina will depend on freshman Phil denied extra vesnr participation in only one game prior to injury. The ACC committee voted in favor of the one-year ruling, thus denying Kupec another year. He was injured in his second game appearance of the 1973 season. ACC official Marvin Francis said the concensus was that the new rule was far too loose to be accepted." An earlier report in the Charlotte News said that such a ruling could be grounds for further action by Kupec or UNC, possibly in the form of a law suit. Francis responded by saying that nothing was discussed concerning any further recourse. Caroling Sports Information Director Jack Williams said that he was not extremely surprised by the outcome of the vote, but knew of no further action by Carolina. ADULTS ONLY!

But a key figure for the Heels is sophomore Walter Davis, who contributes heavily in the scoring, rebounding and assist categories. Though he shot poorly from the field against Duke (4-13). the lean forward-guard popped in 17 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and notched eight assists. "Walter Davis continues to rebound at the third forward spot, w hich is so important for us to win." said Coach Smith. "It will be essential for Walter to do it in the Mary land game." Mitch Kupchak's steadying influence is another ingredient in the Tar Heel attack. The 6-10 junior currently averages 18 points and 10 rebounds a game. Avoiding foul trouble and getting assistance from teammates Ed Stahl and Tommy LaGarde are his primary needs. Leading the Tcrp attack is Durham guard John Lucas, who averages 19.7 points'and spearheads a successful three-guard attack with Maurice Howard and freshman Brad Davis. Although Francis would not give details on the actual voting, only Carolina and Clemson had voiced support for the new ruling. Both schools had players that would be affected by its passage. Virginia and Duke had made public their objections and it was speculated that the remaining three (State, Wake and Maryland) would vote against it. A two-thirds (5-2) vote was needed for passage. According to various reports, Kupec's low pick was due to the possibility of the Syossett. N.Y senior playing another year at UNC. The Bills have two young quarterbacks in Joe Ferguson and Gary Marangi. Both figure prominently in Buffalo's future plans.
