Redmen blast
error-plagued
Carolina, 13-5
By WILL WILSON
Staff Writer
One might have expected the UNC
baseball team to ease up on its competition
following its weekend wins over big rivals
Clemson and East Carolina, especially with
such nonrivals as St. John's, Lemoyne and
Towson State coming'to town this week.
. However, the Tar Heels apparently
relaxed too much because the Redmen of St.
John's dealt the Tar Heels their first decisive
loss of the season, 13-5, Tuesday in
Boshamer Stadium. Carolina, 21-7 overall,
had not lost by more than three runs all year.
Carolina, which went through its weekend
games without committing an error, made
six Tuesday, leading to nine unearned runs.
Although they got no hits in the inning,
the Redmen broke open a 4-4 tie with six
runs in the sixth. Three UNC infield errors,
two walks, a passed ball, a wild pitch, two
stolen bases and a late throw on a fielder's
choice constituted the outburst off UNC
pitchers Mike Brewer, Charlie Beverly and
James Parks.
St. John's got its first four runs in much
the same fashion, all in the third innfng. Don
Troyan and Ed D'Alessio did get singles, but
two Tar Heels errors, a wild pitch and a walk
were the big factors.
Carolina's hitting was much better than its
fielding, as the Tar Heels matched St. John's
.total of nine hits. But the Redmen were not
as benevolent,' committing just one
. unimportant error.
Jim Atkinson and Roy Clark each had
two hits for Carolina, and Greg Robinson,
Mike Fox and Atkinson each doubled.
But St. John's starter and winner Rich
Hille and reliever Pat Ambrosi, who pitched
the last three innings, were not pressed after
the Redmen, now 4-1, got their big lead in
the sixth.
Carolina hosts Lemoyne at 3 p.m. today
and Thursday then plays Towson State here
at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

Former Tar Heels take on IM hoop circuit
With Kentucky's victory over Duke in the NCAA finals
Monday night, the college basketball season ended. There is
basketball action left, however, and it's right on the Carolina
campus.
One event is the coming World Invitational Tournament
in Carmichael Auditorium April 7 which will leaiure
outstanding U.S. collegians and top foreign teams. But on a
different level, a less-heralded one. intramurals continue w ith
the Grad-lndependent playoffs and the All-Campus
basketball championship yet to be played.
Two players in the Grad-independent playolls probably
identified with players in the recent NCAA tournament.
They could have had a special feeling not because they were
just average sports fans, but, because each played NCAA
basketball right here at Carolina lor Dean Smith.
One player was a backcourt reserve lor the majority ol his
three-year varsity career while the other was a 6'6"swingman
who was chiefly relied upon lor periods ol hot outside
shooting.
Both players had All-Americas as teammates. Current
pros Bobby Jones and Mitch Kupchak both shared the court,
the Jocker room and sometimes the bench with John
O'Donnell and Dave Hanners. Unlike Jones and Kupchak.
who have reached stardom in the NBA since college
graduation. O'Donnell and Hanners hae pursued academic
interests in the classroom, not big bucks on the basketball
floor.
Hanners. from Columbus. Ohio, is in f-nglish graduate
school. O'Donnell. a New York City native, is in medical
school. Since their days of playing basketball for Carolina
are long since gone. Hanner and O'Donnell now play
intramural basketball to satisfy their affection for the game.
There are other former collegians playing in the Cirad
Independent league but Hanners and O'Donnell are the most
recent Carolina players to play in I Ms.
"It (IM basketball) might as well be softball." said Dave
Hanners. refering to his motivation behind playing IM
basketball. "A lot of my friends play intramurals and that is
the real reason I play." he said.

By BILL FIELDS-
Hanners' team. Mash, made it to the plavolls this year but
was beaten by the Phagocytes, for whom O'Donnell plays.
I he Phagocytes are in the semifinals ol the grad-independent
division and they lace Class Action. 1 he winner ol that game
w ill meet a formidable foe: either the (iuniac Positives or the
Dental Healers will meet them in the Cirad-lndcpendeni
finals. I he Healers captured the Grail Mural tournament
earlier this year and are perennial lavorites in the (irad
league.
O'Donnell said he plays mostly to keep in shape. "1 don't
take intramurals very seriously. I enjoy them and I think the
competitive level is about right."
In addition to intramurals O'Donnell played in a
recreation league this winter. This too was to keep in shape.
The New York native did play professionally lor one year
following graduation. He said that he would have liked to
have had some of the big money the NBA offers.
Hanners is quick to note the vast dillerencein the nature ol
play between intramurals and NCAA play. "In Woollen,
when a game gets close." Hanners said, "people get wild
because they haven't been in top-flight competition. 1 hey' re
not assured in their actions."
Hanners was relied on for defense, not scoring in college.
He was realistic in college, knowing that he didn't have the
raw talent the NBA looks for. Hanners said oneol his close
friends. Mitch Kupchak. often kids him about not being able
to score. But in IMs it's a different story .
"I can score." Hanners said.
After a long winter season of intramural basketball caused
by a record number of teams and a court shortage brought on
by the coal strike, winners have been determined in
fraternity. Residence Hall. Women's Blue. Women's White
and Ram's divisions.
Winning respective divisions were Sigma Chi, Ehringhaus
A. Still the Zeroes, Alpha Chi Omega and the Merry
Pranksters.
I he regular season softball schedule will end after this
week's action because of the lack of playing times for softball
and the large number of teams entered in IM soccer, which
has yet to begin.
A single elimination tournament in both softball and
soccer will begin on Monday, April 10. All softball and
.soccer teams who are entered in the regular season are
entered in the single elimination tournament.
Men participants in the sports of bowling, badminton,
handball and table tennis are needed to participate in the Big
I-our Sports Day at Wake Forest on April 12.
Women participants in the sports of bow ling, table tennis
and tennis are needed lor Sports Day.
Only several people have signed up for Co-Rec Sports Day
which is April II in Greensboro.
In IM raquetball. Delta Upsilon No. 2 beat Chi Psi No. I
tor the f raternity title.
1 he UNC Club Football team takes on Western Carolina
this Saturday at 3 p.m. onthe Astroturf in its spring schedule
opener.
I ast Saturday's opening meet of the Carolina Godiva
Athletic Attic I rack Series was dampened by heavy rains but
over 30 men and women managed to run in two events at
I'NC's 1 eter f ield.
Andrew Briggs walked away with the one-mile walking
race in 7:53. a minute ahead of John McLean. In the three
mile run Dave Hamilton ran the distance in 14:54 to edge
I arry Hansom. Francis Stoneberger and John Casseday
won the women's and Master's divisions, respectively.
Meet No. 2 will be held on F eter Field April I.
