Allhough young and inexper

Carottna Gamecocks are apt
to be the giant killers of the
Atlantic Coast Conference this
season.
Their upset victory over third

club, least of all mighty UNC
will take them lightly.
McGuire, while coaching at
Chapel Hill quite some years
back, produced an undefeated
Tarheel quint that trounced
Kansas and its superstar, Wilt
Chamberlain, to cop the NCAA
crown. Even earlier, Frank
steered St. Johns to the nation
al finals.
Kentucky's shrewd mentor,
Adolph Rupp, who has been a
general in the basketball wars
for 43 years,doesn't find itnec-
essary to have someone brief
him on New Bern's Bill Bunt
ing.
During Bunting's senior year
at NBHS, Rupp sent his most
persuasive scout, Nell Reed
up this way seven times in an
effort to entice the 6-8 young
ster to Blue Grass Country,
and a private pilot offered to
fly to New Bern and jet Bill
and his family to Kentucky and
back. The Mirror's editor
had an invite too.
At the time, and this doesn't
happen often, Rupp was in dire
need of a tall man for his ball
club. Bunting finally got to
visit Kentucky, but only after

Incidentally, Bill seriously
considered the aforementioned
jet flight, arranged for his con

hosting the NCAA finals, but bad
weather set In over eastern
America and the trip was call
ed off.
No wonder Adolph Rupp still
gets a little hot under the collar
when he recalls the rain, wind
and fog, and ponders what might
have happened if the weather
had been favorable for flying.

MORSELS
There is no road too long, to
the man who advances deliber
ately and without undue haste;
no honors too distant to the
man who prepares for them with
patience.—La Bruyere.
A true nistory of human
events would show that a far
larger proportion of our acts
are the results of sudden im
pulses and accident, than of that
reason of which we so much
boast.—Cooper.
Ingratitude is monstrous; and
for the Multitude to be ingrate-
ful were to make a Monster of
the Multitude.—Shakespeare.
Times of general calamity
and confusion have ever been
productive of the greatest
minds. The pure ore is produc
ed from the hottest furnace, and
the brightest thunderbolt is
elicited from the darkest storm.
—Colton.
Take heed of jesting, many
have been ruined by It. It's
hard to jest, and not sometimes
jeer too, which often times sinks
deeper than was intended or ex
pected.—Fuller.
Man is the only creature en
dowed with the power of laugh
ter; is he not also the only one
that de.serves to be laughed at?
—Greville.
Good breeding is the result
of much good sense, some good
nature, and a little self-denial
for the .sake of others, and with
a view to obtain the same in
dulgence from them—Chester
field.
As the soil, however rich it
may be cannont be productive
without culture, so the mind
without cultivation can never
produce good fruit.—Seneca.
A modest person seldom fails
to gain the good will of those
he converses with, because no
body envies a man who doesn't
appear to be pleased with him
self.—Steele.
Morality without religion is
only a kind of dead reckoning,
an endeavor to find our place
on a cloudy sea by measuring
the distance we have to run,
but without any observation of
the heavenly bodies.—Longfel
low.
