The Atlantic Coast Conference is in the midst of one of its
wildest season rat races in nine basketball seasons. Not since 1956
has the jockeying for positions been so hectic. That season UNC
and N.C. State finished with 11-3 records, while Wake Forest and
Duke compiled 10-4 marks.
An ACC team has to lead a charmed life to go through 14 neigh
borhood contests without defeat. Carolina's 1957 National Champions
were the only team to do this and the fabulous Tar Heels had to
struggle through overtime games with Maryland and South . Caro
lina, not to mention narrow victories over Wake Forest and Duke.
Frank McGuire's unbeaten team was experienced in pressure-packed
games by the time it tangled with Michigan State and Kansas in
the NCAA playoffs. '
In 1954, the only season in which all eight teams played less
than 14 games, Duke captured the top spot with a 9-1 slate. Four
times a 12-2 mark has been good enough for top seeding in the
tournament, and twice an 11-3 record was best.
Duke's Blue Devils now lead the ACC by a half game margin
and Coach Vic Bubas's crew has a 7-2 mark. Finishing the season
with only two losses would be a feat since the Methodists must play
four of their five games on the road. Toughest of these could be
their journey to College Park, where Maryland has already am
bushed UNC and Wake Forest.
The ACC is and has always been a home; court leagu.T Win
ning a game in another team's backyard takes a tremendous effort
by the visiting squad.
Carolina's Dean Smith thinks the home crowds are an impor
tant factor, but not so much as the goals the players are accustomed
to shooting at each day in practice. The Tar Heel coach pointed
out that "it takes a good team to win at home, but a great team io
win on the road."
Coach Smith added that an 11-3 season slate should take the
top spot, while a 10-4 mark would be a cinch for a tie.
Using the home court advantage as a yardstick, Wake Forest is
this column's pick to take first place in the regular season standings,
but the ACC championship) decided in the tournament is up for
grabs.
- The Demon Deacons are currently in second place with a 6-2
mark. They play four of their six games in Winston-Salem's Memo
rial Coliseum where they've lost only to Ohio State. Bones McKin
ney also brings his once high-ranked Deacs to Chapel Hill and Ra
leigh for important contests, but home court games with Mary
land and Duke could be the key to a fast finish like the Baptists had
last season . when they .took the conference championship.
N.C. State's Wolfpack has only four games remaining and none
of; these are on the enemy's home court. Everett Case's boys play
host to UNC and Wake and meet Clemson and 'SVuth Carolina ' at'
Charlotte. The Pack sports a 7-3 record and is only a half game
behind Duke. . Case is gleefully looking ahead to the tournament,
played in the friendly confines of Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh.
Carolina's Tar Heels are currently in fourth place with a 5-3
record and Dean Smith takes his boys to only one more enemy
court Reynolds Coliseum. The Chapel Hillians meet Wake, Duke,
and Maryland in Woollen Gym, where a Carolina team hasn't lost
since the 1959-60 season. The remaining two games will be at Char
lotte against Clemson and South Carolina. Tar Heel . teams have
always played well in Charlotte, where this year's edition romped
over Notre Dame, 99-80, in January.
Maryland is still in the running, but the Terps play four of
their seven games on the road. They'll meet Duke, Virginia, and
Clemson at home while trying to improve on their 3-4 mark. Road
games at South Carolina, Clemson, Wake, and UNC could be dis
astrous to Bud Millikan's men.
The other three South Carolina, Clemson, and Virginia "have
little hope of finishing in the first division, but by tournament time
they'll start from .scratch, just as Maryland and the Big Four.
" All the "marbles go to the tournament winner in. March, but
meanwhile the red-hot scramble for the seeded positions has three
weeks to go and anything and everything could happen.

Accused By FTC
WASHINGTON (UPD The
Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
Thursday accused the nation's big
gest manufaucturer of bubble gum
of illegally monopolizing the sale
of cards bearing pictures of big
league baseball players.
It filed the complaint against
Topps Chewing Gum, Inc., of
Brooklyn, N. Y.
The FTC said that Topps has ex
clusive picture card contracts with
414 of the 421 baseball players in
the major leagues. The 7 bubble
gum holdouts were not identified.
According to the FTC, the com
pany; also has signed up virtually
all of about 1,500 minor league
players of major league caliber or
potential.
The FTC complaint said the com
pany has used threats of legal ac
tion and secret payments to base
ball players' agents to frustrate
the effort of its competitors to use
the players' pictures on similar
cards.
The company was accused of
signing up minor league players
for $5 to contracts that bind them
from granting picture card rights
to anyone other than Topps.
