COLLEGE PARK. Md. The Carolina Tar Heels will be out to
climax a three-game week on a sweet note here tonight as they go
against the all powerful Marland Terps in the Iiird's beautiful new
gm before a crowd' of 15.000. including 500 standing room cus
tomers. Tipoff is set for 8 o'clock.
This elaborate college community is proud of its team and its
new gm .md it would be even prouder if their golden boys could
knock off the highly-vaiiutcd Carolina club. Maryland comes into
the contest with an overall record of eight wins and two losses and
a 3 1 conference slate. Its only two losses were at the hands of
Memphis State and I'lemson.
Complete Sellout
The 15 (MM) sellout marks a new huh in attendance in the gym
here and will set a new ACC record. Last year's Carolina-Maryland
crowd of 14.000 was the previous high. The game has been sold but
for two weeks and Maryland officials have said they could have sold
25,000 tickets had they had the facilities.
The Tar Heels rode into Washington yesterday leading the At
lantic Coast Conference with a perfect 4-0 record. Their 11-1 mark
for all games is likewise tops for the ACC.
The soothsayers, both expert and amateur, are figuring this to be
one of the toughest games of the year for Coach Frank McGuire's
high flying Tar Heels. The Terps gave the defending national
champs on whale of a battle last season and this has probably been
a strong psychological incentive for ticket buyers who figure theso
two teams are the class of the ACC.
Routed Duke
Maryland's latest conquest was a 74-49 rout of the Duke Blue
Devils here Wednesday night. The Tar Heels beat Virginia in Chapel
Hill Thursday night. The Terp's most notable fact this season was a
rip I he I emote lerpsf
victory over Kentucky, a team which the Tar Heels never got a shot
at in the Kentucky Invitational during the Christmas holidays.
A full conference slate is on tap today and tonight, but to most
ACC fans this is the big one. Maryland is considered the one real
threat to the Tar Heel's conference crown and it makes little differ
ence to these fans that the ACC tourney will decide the NCAA rep
resentative they've come to see a couple of the nation's powers
lock horns.
Brennan, Kearns Lead
Coach Bud Millikan's long famous possession type ball has been
discarded and the Terps are now a running ball club. Millikan has
virtually the sane team that won 15 and lost nine a year ago, fin
ishing in second place in the final ACC standings.
MeGuire, of course, will be counting heavily on his two fine
scorers. Pete Brennan and Tommy Kearns. But Brennan's running
mate at forward, sophomore Lee Shaffer is also a dangerous scorer
and it is these thre big threats that will probably send Maryland
into a tight man to man defense.
Even Distribution
Center Dick Kepley is another man the Terps will have to reckon
with and there's nobody around who could give a fair estimate of
the value of Carolina's tremendous senior guard Bob Cunningham.
Add sophomore Harvey Sail to this list and you have a "top six"
that could scare anybody right out of the gym.
Maryland has been noted this season for its policy of having
several men in the double figures. Every man is, consequently, a
scoring threat.
Top men for the Terps are forwards Charlie McNeil. John Nacin
clk, center Al Bunge and guards Perry Moore and Jim Halleck. For
ward Nick Davis is also a man to watch. The Terp's most consistent
high scorer is 6-8 sophomore Bunge.
Ray Stanley, Roy Searcy, Danny Lotz and John Crotty are also
destined to see action for the Tar Heels.
WEATHER
Partly cloudy and mild with
temperatures in 50s. Increasing

Jury Convicts
Frank Wetzel
In 1st Degree
ROCKINGHAM, Jan. 10 (AP)
A Richmond County court jury
today convicted Frank Wetzel,
36-year-old New York ex-convict,
of first degree murder in the
slaying of a North Carolina
highway patrolman.
The jury of 10 men and two
women, which debated more
than three hours, recommended
mercy for the handsome, stock
ily built escapee from a New
York mental institution.
Judge J. A. Rousseau immedi
ately sentenced him to life in
prison, a sentence mandatory un
der North Carolina law.
A shout went up from a pack

j,ury announced its verdict, al
though Judge Rosseau had warn
ed against any demonstration.
The crowd obviously was
pleased with the verdict.
Wetzel stood up before the
crowd and remarked in a strong.
