.For
ACC
Laurels
By JOHN MONTAGUE
Football fans will flock to
three stadiums this afternoon to
watch the curtain go up on what
could be the most exciting sea
son in the ACC's 11-year history.
Six of the circuit's eight teams
have been tabbed as contenders
for the pigskin crown, and five
of these hopefuls will begin con
ference warfare today at Col
lege Park, Durham, and right
here in Chapel Hill.
N. C. Slate takes its hard-hitting
line and hard-to-pronounce
backfield to Maryland, where
passing-whiz Dick Shiner leads
the always-tough Terps.
Duke, which has monopolized
the ACC for the last three years,
opens its title defense at home
against a bunch of chickens who
are talking turkey. These would
be the Gamecocks from South
Carolina who have plenty of size
to go along with flashy quarter
back Dan Reeves.
On the local scene, UNC's
best team in four years enter
tains the Virginia Cavaliers, who
are expected to be one of the
league's two also-rans.
Clemson, the sixth and possi
ly strongest contender, and
Wake Forest, the other also
ran, don't get into league play
until October 5. This weekend
they are engaged in non-conference
skirmishes on somewhat
different levels the Tigers
meeting Oklahoma while the
Deacons tangle with East Caro
lina. With so many teams in the
thick of things, even an educat
ed guess becomes an impossi
bility. So the DTH Sports Staff
made an uneducated guess, tab
bing Duke to nose but Clemson.
DUKE Here is a team that
has so many weaknesses that
it should be a tailender. But,
unfortunately, Blue Devils must
be Blue Devils and the kind we
have arounl here are like a
cork in water they always rise
to the top.
This year Coach Bill Murray
can't find a quarterback.- But
you can bet he'll . find one, just
like he found All-ACC fullback

5. Maryland
6 USC
7. Wake
8. Virginia
Mike Curtis last season. This
210-pound bulldozer is back as
are fleet halfbacks Jay Wilkin
son and Billy Futrell. Put the
three together and you have the
best running attack in the con
ference. Duke's line is bigger than last
fall's counterpart and retains
enough experience to remain
one of the best in the conference.
Overall, Duke has 46 sophs on
its 76-man roster and for anj
other team this would be a re
building year. But Duke has two
big factors in its favor that
winning tradition and a HOME
date with iNo. 1 challenger Clem
son (on Oct. 19).
CLEMSON Coach Frank
Howard is at his boastful best
this fall and he has many "be
lievers." Listening to Howard,
you'd think he had Ail-Americans
sitting on the bench. Ac
tually Howard doesn't have one
on his whole squad, but he has
two or three real good football
players at nearly every position
and this could well spell the
downfall of those who oppose
the Tigers of the clay country.
Quarterback Jim Parker is the
flashiest of the Bengals, wheth
er he's running or passing. Pat
Crain, the team's leading rusher
in '62, returns to his fullback
post and center Ted Bunton is
the standout member of a rug
ged forward wall.
Clemson is given the , best
chance to topple Duke from its
perennial pinnacle. Howard
likes hard-nosed football and his
team is equipped for it this
fall.
NORTH CAROLINA With
Junior Edge passing and Bob
Lacey catching, the Tar Heels
have the fastest-striking offense
in the ACC. This gives Coach
Jim Hickey a valuable asset,
the ability to come from behind
in the final minutes.
If the UNC defense holds up
this fall, the Tar Heels will have
a good shot at the top. Ken Wil
lard and Eddie Kesler give the
Tar Heels running power and
wingback Tommy Ward could
take the pressure off Lacey as a
receiver.
Whatever the answer is, it
won't come until late in the sea
son. The Tar Heels' final two
ACC games ere with Clemson
and Duke.
N. C. STATE The confer
ence darkhorse. Coach Earle
Edwards' Wolfpack is two-deep
with experienced linemen and
the backfield, while not spec
tacular, is consistently produc
tive, ft is composed of quarter
back Jim .Rossi, fullback Pete
Falzarano, halfback Tony Kos
2lrsky and wingback Joe Scar
pati. All in all, N. C. State has
a good football team, but not
quite good enough.
MARYLAND Coach Tom
Nugent has his Terrapins run
ning out of the "I" formation
again this year and you can al
ways count on the Terps for
coming up with a bag full of
tricks.
One surprise won't be quarter
back Shiner. He's already es
tablished himself as one of the
nation's best. Halfback Len
Chiaverini spearheads the run
ning attack.
The Terps' line is in the re
building stage and this will pro
bably hold them back this year.
An early date with Duke (Oct.
5) may tell a lot.
SOUTH CAROLINA "I've
been hearing a lot ebout South
Carolina," says Clemson's Frank
Howard, "but of course South
Carolina is always good about
this time of year."
This has been the story in the
past and it should hold true
again this fall. The Gamecocks
have a , much improved squad,
but just about everyone in the
ACC is better, so relatively USC
stays the : same.
WAKE FOREST and VIR
GINIA Neither the Deacons
nor the Cavaliers have much
to cheer about this season. UVA
lost quarterback Gary Cuozzo
through graduation and Wake
lost promising signal-caller Karl
Sweetan before he ever played
a game.
