SPORTING SCENE The Kind Of Guys Fans Loved To Hate BY JOHNNY CRAIG I'll have to admit that I was somewhat saddened to read of the resigna tion of Notre Dame University basketball coach Digger Phelps earlier this week. Phelps was the classic coach that college basketball fans along Tobacco Road, myself included, loved to hale. I guess that's the biggest reason he'll be missed from here. The flamboyant, sometimes brash, coach compiled a 20-year record of 393 wins and 197 losses, but it was perhaps his 1990-91 season of 12-20 that overshadowed his past accomplishments. Phelps led the Irish to 14 NCAA post-season tournaments and one Final Four appearance. I'll never forget Notre Dame's 71-70 upset of UCLA in 1974 which stunned the college basketball world and snapped the Bruins' record 88 gamc winning streak at the same time. That win seemed to ensure Phelps employment status at Notre Dame as he went on to become the winningest Irish basketball coach ever. I'll also never forget Phelps' remarks following a win over N.C. State in Raleigh back in the late 1970s. The Atlantic Coast Conference was considered the best college basket ball league in the nation back then just as it is now and Phelps couldn't wait to boast after grabbing a win over the Wolfpack in Reynolds Coliseum. "Tell me another one about the ACC," chuckled Phelps with a kind of arrogant smirk on his face during a post-game television interview. The Irish had just picked up an ACC road win and Phelps was savoring the mo ment as only he could. Future basketball games involving ACC teams against the Irish won't ever have that same intensity and special meaning as the way it was with Phelps roaming the sideline. Watching teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference, regardless of the school, pound the Irish on the college hard court was always enjoyable. It is such rivalries that are healthy for college basketball. ***** With the resignation of Phelps, I was reminded of the way I felt upon hearing of the departure of Lefty Driesell from the University of Maryland back in 1986. Driesell was another one of those coaches that most area college bas ketball fans loved to hate. The fact that Lefty cherished so much defeating the likes of University of North Carolina, N.C. State, Duke and Wake Forest, made the rivalry even more intense. Every ACC basketball fan probably has his/her own Lefty Driesell "special moment" When the Terripans won the ACC tournament title in the early 1980s giving Driesell the ultimate championship that had eluded him all his coaching career he responded by saying, "I'm a tired man right now but I think I'll take this tournament trophy, weld it to the hood of my Cadillac and drive it all through Tobacco Road to show it off." His statement brought a chuckle from most North Carolina college basketball fans, even the ones who ioved to dislike Driesell the most. Driesell, who was a 1954 Duke graduate, got the last laugh on a Blue Devil student once when his Terripan team was in Durham for a key league game. Poking fun of Drisell's bald head, a Duke student went up to the coach prior to the game wearing a skin-head wig and asked Lefty to "autograph his head". Driesell responded by inking a big "X" on top of the student's wig. When the student asked why Lefty put an "X" on his head, Driesell told him, "I went to Duke so I never learned how to read." ***** Driesell and Phelps, the kind of guys fans loved to hate, will be missed. And while Driesell is continuing his college career at James Madison, there will always be that unique legacy missing from the Maryland cage program just as it probably will be at Notre Dame now with the absence of Phelps. f Don't let the detour sign stop you. ..we're here and ready for spring!

However, some hunters and trap pers believe the state law is too re strictive. They say it will continue to allow an abundance of foxes to breed in coastal North Carolina, bringing with it a fear of rabies and distem per. Leland trapper Charles Eddins said he hopes Brunswick County commissioners will forward a new local fox hunting biii to State Rep. David Redwine. The bill would in crease bag limits and keep separate trapping and hunting seasons opened for foxes locally. Commissioners heard from two N.C. Wildlife Commission officers Monday on the current status of lo cal laws on fox hunting. At the board's April 1 meeting, Eddins asked commissioners to ap prove a fox hunting bill originally introduced to Redwine in 1985, a bill that never made it to a House vote. It is the same law Bladen County now has in effect, said Eddins, who will ask commission ers for i'.te law again May 6. Brunswick County is one of 35 counties that currently has local fox legislation, but the county's law will expire July 1. At the April 1 board meeting, two commissioners, Frankie Rabon and Donald Shaw, voted to approve the local bill and to forward it to Rcdwinc. Other commissioners said they did not know enough about the laws to vote for the bill. W. Don Augustine, a N.C. Wildlife en forcement offi cer, told com missioners Monday that after July 1 a state law will supersede the expired local law in Brunswick AUGUSTINE Counly. The law allows open season on foxes for counties east of Interstate 77, with the exception of Mitchell County, from late November to Jan. 1 , Augustine said. The season is for hunting with firearms only. That law allows a bag limit of two foxes per day, or 10 per season, he said. 'The legislators took the fox law out of our hands several years ago," Augustine said. Currently, the local law allows 50 permits for fox hunting and trapping in Brunswick County each season. Each permit holder can purchase up to five fox tags for S3 each before jan. 1 and an additional live tags af terward if they are not all sold. The new bill would establish a fox hunting season with weapons from Dcc. 1 to Jan. 1 and for trap pers from Jan. 2 to Jan. 31. It would also set a season bag limit of 30 foxes. "With the fur prices down and the trapping not there, that's the reason we have an abundance of them," Augustine said. A bill is before the state senate that would extend fox hunting sea sons in the stale, but it has not bo.ii adopted. The deadline lor filing lo cal bills has passed, but one still stands a chance of making it to the General Assembly if presented to Rcdwinc in time to be substituted for a "dummy" bill, a blank bill Tiled for flexibility in introducing local legislation after the deadline. Tom Padgett, a biologist for the N.C. Wildlife Commission, said ev idence shows that the fox popula tion in North Carolina is increasing. A 1985 survey estimates one fox per square mile as a conservative figure, Padgett said. In 1986, hunters and trappers harvested 137 foxes in the state, a figure that grew to 186 foxes in 1987 and to 194 in 1988. Ovci the same period, the value of fox furs dropped from $11 to S5.95 each, Padgett said. Eddins said he is afraid rabies and distemper will spread to pels if the foxes are not thinned out by hunters and trappers. Presently, the tags and permits cost more than the pelts arc worth, he said.
