Maine senator had already
announced plans not to cam
paign here even before his an
nounced pullout of future
primaries. It is expected that the
North Carolina primary will be a
Sanford-Wallace battle.
"Here is a chance for North
Carolina leadership to be
exerted across the nation,”
Sanford told his youthful
audience, consisting primarily
of college youth, but which also
included some townspeople as

faculty and administration,
Sanford noted Democratic
Senate majority leader Mike
Mansfield had commented that
the Democratic Party con
vention could be wide open and
eventually deadlocked. Mans
field then pointed to two “new
faces” — Gov. Rubin Askew of
Florida and Terry Sanford of
North Carolina — as possible
alternatives for convention
delegates.
“I agreed with at least half of
what he said,” Sanford declared.
Sanford acknowledged Mus-
kie’s withdrawal will
“improve my chances” by
freeing some initial com
mitments made to the Maine
senator prior to Sanford’s own
entry into the presidential
campaign.
It would also improve San
ford’s chances to get support in
other states, but, for the most
part, Muskie’s withdrawal will
provide “for an even greater
majority in North Carolina,”
which “1 need to beat him.” said
Sanford, almost certainly
referring to Wallace.
Asked if Muskie’s withdrawal
would make it a Sanford-
Wallace primary battle in North
Carolina, Sanford replied that
had been his impression “all
along" and “I hope we finish in
the order you mentioned,” he
added.

Sports Editorial
By GREG DRAGOS
The current National Basketball Association’s
playoff finals are now two games old. As the Knicks
leave Los Angeles they should be considered ahead as
they split the two games on the road. Instead, however,
they fall pathetically behind as the status of Dave
DeBushere is seriously in doubt.
Immediately, after the start of the second half of
game two, DeBushere injured his right hip. This hin-
derence was severe enough to place him on the bench for
the remainder of the game. This setback directly in
fluenced the outcome of the game in question. In exence
one must determine the number of points that Davie
DeBuschere would have scored and similarly preven
ted. We must compare this to the production of
aggressive Phil Jackson.
Let us first assume that David would score at least
eight points more than Jackson. Second, Dave is the best
defensive forward in basketball, therefore he would
prevent a minimum of four baskets which Phil Jackson
did allow. The sixteen points indicated here are just to
show how close the game should have been. The
Knickerbockers could have very possibly won the game
with DeBuchere, and if they had Willis Reed there is no
question of this series outcome.
Now we must return to the factors which will
determine who will win the series and why.
1. The play of Wilt Chamberlain — he must steadily
play at his best for the Lakers to win.
2. The status of Dave DeBushere — his condition is the
real key to the series. When Phil Jackson is in the lineup,
he must not shoot but only play the good defense he is
capable of.
3. The play of Earl Monroe — He must not try to take
control of the game, the Knicks have plenty of shooters
without Earl attemtping to play by himself. Of course he
IS a fantastic streak player.
Again, it will be an exciting and close series as long
as Dave DeBushere is healthy and on the court The
single exception would be if Jerry West starts to put the
ball m the basket with regularity. This however is not
likely with Walt Frazier guarding him.
By the way, quarterback of the year award goes to
Walt Frazier not Roger Starbach.

However, both ACC’s pitching
and defense collapsed the final
three innings as the Seahawks
scored six times while their
righthanded reliever Barnes
Yelverton, a product of neigh
boring Lee Woodard High
School, shut the door in the face
of the host nine,
Yelverton overcame control
problems in the sixth and

harmless run the last three and

record to three wins and two
losses, Yelverton walked three

ACC senior righthander
Jimmy Rivers, who relieved
starting righthander Baxter
Carr in the seventh, was tagged
with his second loss against no
wins. Rivers lasted just one and
two-thirds frames before
regular third baseman Jim
Robinson completed the mound
chores.
The Bulldogs’ big moment
came in the sixth after trailing 5-
0 and being limited to Rackley’s
infield hit for the first five in
nings.
However, singles by David
Garfield and Robinson and a
walk loaded the bases with none
out. Two runs scored when
Kenny Pridgen’s grounder was
booted, Harry Moser singled
home Robinson, But then came a
crippling play,
Larry Moser’s fly ball easily
scored Pridgen but Harry Moser
was nailed by Edgerton as he
tried to advance from second to
third. Still, the Bulldogs shelled
Sandlin as singles by Robert
Speight and Rackley brought on
Yelverton, But, Yelverton issued
walks to pinch hitter Roy Lowe
and Garfield to force in the tying
run.
The lead was temporary as the
Seahawks nicked Rivers for an
unearned run in the seventh. The
visitors broke loose for three
runs in the eighth on a walk, a
bunt single by Bruce Cavanaugh,
a sacrifice, a single by Sandlin, a
sacrifice fly by Eddie Booth and
a double by Greg Dalton, A
dropped fly ball, a grounder and
Cavanaugh’s homer over the
leftfield fence produced two
more runs in the ninth.
