Tar Heels wreck Tech,

Sports Editor
CH ARLOTTE A good-natured Dwane
Morrison mingled among well-wishers
following the opening night of the North
South Doubleheader. His Georgia Tech
Yellowjackets had been soundly defeated by
UNC 98-74 in their Friday night clash and
Morrison wasn't exactly thrilled at the
though of facing talented N.C. State the next
night.
"North Carolina has an outstanding
team," Morrison told one listener. "And for
pure raw talent, State is the best team here, I
think."
"Well, good luck tomorrow night," the
man said to the Ramblin' Wreck coach.
"God bless ya' my friend," Morrison
replied. "We are most definitely going to
need it."
Such was, and always has been, Georgia
Tech's plight in the annual battle at
Charlotte Coliseum. Except for last year's
upset win by Tech over State, the
Yellowjackets and fellow "Southerner"
Furman are relegated to punching bag status
each February as the Tar Heels and the
Wolfpack don the gloves to tone up their
one-two.
The representatives from the Old North
State did their thing this year as expected,
but not without some solid basketball by the
Yellowjackets and the Paladins. Furman
played both UNC and N.C. State to the wire,
losing to the Wolfpack 98-9 1 Friday and to
the Tar Heels 88-71, and Tech fell to the
Pack by a score of 81-71.'
"I think we could beat 'em (the Tar Heels)
if we played at Tech," Morrison said
following the UNC-Georgia Tech debacle. "1
think our crowd would've made the
difference."

Despite Tar Heel Head Coach Dean
Smith's insistence that the Ramblin' Wreck
was improved from last season, it was
apparent that something besides the Atlanta
homecourt advantage was missing from
Tech's game. Unfortunately, there was little
the Wreck could do about it. After shooting
58.3 per cent from the field in the first half, it '
still found itself down 48-39. The main
reason was UNC's blistering 61.3 mark.
Tico Brown (22 points) did his best to keep
Tech in the second half, but UNC handily
won the rebounding war 32-21, and forced
Yellowjacket ballhandlers into 21 turnovers.
It was an exceptional homecoming by the
Heels' Walter Davis that sparked the win.
The senior from Pineville, a small
community just minutes south of the Queen
City, was nine of 12 from the floor and nine
of 10 from the foul line to lead all scorers
with 27 points.
Mike O'Koren was perfect on eight field
goal attempts to score 19 points and Phil
Ford added 14 points and seven assists.
Freshman reserve Rich Yonakor led a host
of rebounders with five. But it was Davis
who received the ovations and it was Davis
who led the attack on Furman the next night.
He continued his shooting accuracy,
connecting on 10 of 14 field goals, and again
took scoring honors with 25 points. But his
Tar Heels had a much tougher time of it
against the pesky Paladins.
Guard Bruce Grimm completed a three
point play with 13.02 left in the game, to tie
the score 56-56. A Davis block was ruled
goaltending at 10:22,; i and Grimm was
awarded another basket, to put the Paladins
ahead 65-62. But some of the cold Charlotte
weather leaked inside the arena, and
Furman's offense froze. The Paladins could
score only six points in the final ten minutes.

Walter Davis, who played his high school
ball at Charlotte's South Mecklenburg,
thrilled the fans with a two-day scoring
total of 52 points.
6:20 left, and hit 1 1 free throws to clinch the
win.
"There's not much you can do against the
Four Corners, especially with Phil (Ford)
running it," a weary Grimm said following
the game. "You just have to hope you're
ahead so they can't go to the Four Corners."
Tommy LaGarde had his best
performance among recent games, scoring
21 points, grabbing 13 rebounds, blocking
three shots and making three steals. Ford
added 12 points.
UNC came into Charlotte following a
seven-day break from the rigors of the
Atlantic Coast Conference. Davis cited the
layoff as a factor in the Tar Heels' play.
"Our break helped us," he said. "It helped
clear up some injuries and it rested us. When
you're able to put pressure on a team, they're
bound to make turnovers." Furman made 16
such miscues.

Weekend roundup
Dee Hardison held up a triumphant fist
after pinning his Maryland opponent,
helping Carolina climax a 30-9 Atlantic
Coast Conference wrestling victory
Saturday in Carmichael Auditorium. The
win pushed the Heels' record to 9-4 and 4-0
in the ACC. Maryland fell to 5-9 and 1-3 in
the ACC.
, Hardison provided the Tar Heels with
their only pin of the day in taking eight of the
10 matches. The heavyweight football player
took only 47 seconds to slam Terrapin Kevin
Benson to the mat and take the final decision
of the day.
UNC Coach Bill Lam said that he was
pleased with the match and a little surprised
by the margin of victory.
"I'm happy for Dee's win at heavyweight,"
Lam said. "He's been working hard and
needs success. I thought the match was really
closer than the team score indicated. I wasn't
relaxed at all during the entire match."
The Heels never trailed the Terps as Scott
Conkwright, Joe Galli, and Chris
Conkwright took the first three matches and
opened to a 10-0 lead. UNC got three more
wins from Jeff Reintgen, Carter Mario and
Dean Brior before the Hardison pin.
The match was delayed for about five
minutes when some confusion arose over the
official there wasn't one. Luckily, Lam
spotted a man in the crowd he knew to be a
certified referee. The spectator was used and
the scheduled official never showed up,
much to the chagrin of Maryland's coaching
staff.
"It really put me in a bind, because I had
the contract and his check right here," Lam
said while pointing to his clipboard. "Sure
Maryland was upset, but that's the breaks.
Besides, when you win 30-9, an official isn't
going to make that much difference."
Carolina's next match is against N.C.
State Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in Raleigh.

Women cagers tumble
For one half Saturday, the Ohio State
. North Carolina women's basketball game
was a show of offensive skills the likes of
which Carmichael Auditorium spectators
expect only from Phil Ford and his cohorts
from the men's world.
In the second half, however, both teams
lost their touch at least from the floor. But
Carolina lost its from the free throw line.

One hundred thirty-four pound Chris
Conkwright was one of eight Tar Heels
to score victories in Saturday's rout over
Maryland.
also, and that made a big difference as the
Lady Buckeyes pulled away and won, 85-68.
The contrast in field goal percentage from
the first half to the second was amazing.
Ohio State shot 58.3 per cent in the opening
half, with the majority of shots coming from
the 1 5-20 foot range. Carolina, likewise, had
a hot half, shooting 5 1 .5 per cent, with most
of the shots coming from the lane area.
Both teams shot about 30 per cent in the
second half. But the Tar Heels made only 12
of 21 free throws, including three misses on
the open end of the one-and-ones, while
OSU made eight straight down the stretch.
Ohio State led 45-40 at the half after
leading 18-4 earlier. Carolina cut it to three
points twice, at 45-42 and 47-44, but Cathey
Daniels, who had sparked the UNC first-half
comeback, was taken out because she had
four fouls. The Tar Heels failed to score in
the next five minutes and fell behind by 11 at
55-44. They came only a point closer, at 73
63, the rest of the way.
Free throw shooting was unusually
important in the game because of hte high
number (56) of fouls called. Four OSU and
two UNC players fouled out.
An encouraging aspect of the game to
Carolina was the play of Joan Leggett.who
missed the past six games because of an
injured ankle. Coming off the bench, she
scored 10 points and grabbed eight
rebounds.
Cathy Shoemaker led the UNC scoring
with 17 points. Martha Baker was OSU's
leader with 1 5 points.

for fourth ACC win
UNC Coach Jim Wood compared
Auburn to Tennessee, who handed the Heels
their other dual meet loss of the season.
"Both have people with the potential to
win eventsat the nationals. Both should be in
the top five in the nation this year."
The Auburn loss was the second for the
Heels in two tries against tough Southeast
Conference (SEC) teams.
"The SEC is one of the two best
conferences along with the Pacific 8 this
year," Wood said. "They'll have three teams
in the top ten (Alabama, Auburn and
Tennessee)."

Gymnasts 2nd in meet
UNC's women's gymnastics team finished
second in a tri-meet with Towson and the
University of Maryland-Baltimore Campus
here Saturday. Towson was first with 135.77
points, UNC had 123.05 points and UM-BC
had 85.65.
The Tar Heels could capture nothing
higher than Tia Walker's third places on the
balance beam and vault, and Lynn Swisher's
third on the parallel bars in the first three
events. Injured Teresa Trice's 8.95 floor
routine tied Towson's Natalie Bradt for first
place. Trice missed last week's meet with an
injured ankle and performed the routine
with a heavily-taped ankle.
The all-around competition ended with
Bradt. who had a first on the balance beam
as well as a tie for first on the floor exercise,
in the top spot with a 34.40 score. Nancy
Kearns, also from Towson grabbed a 33.95
second in the all-arounds with seconds in the
"beam and vault competition and UNCs
Walker prevented a Towson sweep with a
32.85 third place finish.
