Charles G. (The "G M , I think is for Go-Gettum> Driesell is hacking out a new image for Maryland, and as distasteful as it may be to all those who dislike the Left Bander and decry his success, he is well ahead of schedule in keeping his vow to make Maryland the UCLA of the East His office closely resembles what I suspect the throne room in Buckingham Palace may look ttke. and what's more there is substance to go along with the floss. Lefty Driesell is a fierce and unyielding competitor who allows nothing to stand between him and his goal. He will work with Trojan dedication, disdaining long hours and personal inconvenience. He never gives up. neither in recruiting nor in a ball game, and con sequently he sometimes lands ball players he should have lost, and wins games in which defeat should have been his. Fierce Competitor Over the years Lefty has not set any records in winning friends, but he has certainly influenced a lot of people, most lately Tom McMillan. I, for one, have been highly critical of McMillan because he led Dean Smith and North Carolina to believe he was going to Chapel Hill until the last minute when he was switched. One cannot fault Lefty for keeping after the guy. After all, McMillan had signed nothing, and the only reason he should have gone to Carotlna was because he said lie would. Every man sets his own value on his word. Players who have languished under Lefty seldom like him or his system of scaring victory out of his charges. But they respect him without reservation. This is of course a fancy and uppity euphemism for fear. But once guys get away from Lefty they look back and realise that what he has tried to teach them in college basketball is a pretty certain formula for success in life. Give 'em hell every minute and never let up. One must reach the summit thereby. He Can Stand Prosperity One reason Lefty is likely to succeed at Maryland as he did at Davidson is that he can stand prosperity. Many people are wise and prudent in the face of adversity, but are unable to cope with the world when things go well. Some become inflated, or lose their sense of values when looking at themselves. Coaches are not always equal to winning. They get the big head and come to believe la all too many cases that they are endowed with special light from a Divine source. Also some winning coaches lose sight of the fact that the world could probably exist • without the game they teach. Lefty was not a great player. It is stretching a point . to say that he was really a good one. But he did play, and knowing him as I do, I'm certain he was limited only by his ability. He was a highly successful door-to-door salesman, and this is the toughest sort of assignment. He remembers the days at Davidson when he had a SSOO total recruiting budget, and when he travelled and slept in the back of a worn out station wagon with a pistol under his head. He is smart enough to know that however successful he is, has been or may be, once a man starts for the bottom all creation is greased for the slide. Lefty will be good for the Atlantic Coast Conference. He won't be well liked outside of Maryland, but he'll be a winner, and heaven knows the University of Maryland needs one.
