Dentist To F T T Ml Gap Tankmen Finish 3rd fZ- rzr rx -r ; - In B Alommi Line By LARRY TARLETON The sign on the door at 157 E. Franklin St. says "Andrew Miketa, D.D.S.," but Saturday at Kenan Stadium it will be "Andy Miketa, football player". Dr. Miketa is one of a host of former Carolina football stars who will be returning to Kenan Stadium for the Varsity-Alumni game on Saturday. At 2 o'clock (kickoff time) he will forget about filling cavities and try to open some holes in the varsity 'line. Fans of the so-called "Justice era" of Carolina football will re member Andy as the 180-pound center of the 1950 Cotton Bowl team which lost to Rice 27-13. This was, of course, the last Tar Heel bowl trip until the success ful Gator Bowl venture this year. Upon graduation, Andy enter ed the armed services and play ed two years of service football then signed on with the Detroit Lions. He played with the great . Lion teams of '54 and '55 under Buddy Parker, now coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Andy came back to Chapel Hill in 1956 and entered the Dental School. He received his degree in 1960 and Andy Miketa, foot b a 1 1 player became Andrew Miketa, D.D.S., at least for 363 days a year. - Saturday is the alumni's day. Now in its third year, the game seemed to be headed for dis aster the first year. There didn't seem to be enough interest among the alumni and Coach Jim Hickey was about to call the game off when about twenty of the alumni called him from a downtown restaurant saying they were ready to play. Dr. Miketa says that enthus iasm about the game has in creased each year. He says that the alumni really look forward to the game and the banquet after the game. "It gives us a thrill to get out on the field again," Andy said, "Especially after a long winter. John Ham mett expressed my feelings about the game in his posters when he said it was 'fall week end in the spring' ". The game has been plagued by bad weather and a conflict with the Azalea Festival the first two years causing attend ance to be bad. Page 4- Tuesday, March 17, 1964 How To Become A Duke Fan By HUGH STEVENS I went to the Eastern Regionals last weekend as a spectator, but I came away a fan. A Duke fan. I just couldn't help it. I KNOW I'm sup posed to hate Duke and all that, but when I got inside jam-packed Reynolds Coliseum and heard the pep band and listened to those cheers well, it just seemed right for me to stand up and cheer, too. Duke had 'em outnumbered in the stands, and at times it seemed they had more than their share on the floor, too. The first game Friday night had been billed as a close battle between the Devils and Villanova's Wildcats, and at times it WAS close (though it never really seemed that way). Villanova's bright spot was a swift, sly guard named Wally Jones, who shoots like a man falling out of a tree but rarely misses. Duke had so many bright spots you couldn't count 'em. Brightest of all was Jeffery Mullins, a Lex ington (Ky.) lad who has suddenly become the King of a very large Hill. He's been an A1I American for a long time, as everyone knows, but in the first half Friday night he was All Universe. His shooting was deadlier than a pit viper, and he defensed Richie Moore (a soph and the Wildcats' high scorer) like a man with six arms. The only word for it was Vic Bubas' own: "Fantastic!" Just before the half, Mullins threw one in from the parking lot, and it looked as if the Wildcats were down the drain. (Amazingly, however, they came out of the locker room playing honest-to-goodness basketball in the sec ond half, and actually seemed to scare Duke a bit. But the pep band pepped, the cheer leaders led, and young Jeffery rolled in 43 to cust the best team in the East. The second game Friday was between Con necticut and Princeton, two teams so dull that it seemed neither could possibly win. Bill Bradley proved, even in defeat, that he is a great basketball player, but some of his team mates looked as if they had been introduced tc the game rather recently. The main question in everyone's mind was whether either team would dare show up to play Duke Saturday night. One of them did, and it was a mistake. If Friday's crowd was wild, Saturday's was insane. (Some of those Duke fans WILL walk to Kansas City if necessary, I think.) And they had a lot to yell about. Mullins' pre-game introduction brought a two-minute standing ovation from the fans, a great tribute to a great star. The rest of the Blue Devil introductions were lost in the din. Tison scored first, and the noise brought me right out of my seat. Then Mullins hit, and the roof rocked. By the time he came slithering down the floor alone for his second bucket (a fantastic drive through 60 per cent of the Uconns), it was apparent that Kansas City was as close as the concession stand. The halftime score' was an unmerciful 62 27, and the coliseum crowd sat in awe of the massacre they were witnessing. When the Uconns staggered out for the final 20 minutes, someone high in section boomed, "WHAT? THEY SHOWED UP!" It did seem a miracle. The final 101-54 margin was as anti-climactic as a Liz Taylor wedding. Perhaps the most remarkable thing was that Duke managed to score 100. Ted Mann was sent in with about six minutes to go, obviously to hold the score down. He did a bang-up job. By the end, though, when Mullins had de parted and the pep band itself was drowned out by the jubilation of 10,000 Duke fans, I just couldn't help myself. I clapped along with "I'm going to Kansas City" with those 10,000. For there was no denying it. Duke WAS going to Kansas City, and everyone there had the same feeling. They just might come back with the key to the city. r --r?" 1 1 ' - II a .-0 i ft ''. : ' -f ' ' v -' '' - ' - ' I' - ' ' - . V i -' t ' - Y ,! , VSS&&&t '5 ' ) i " - $ ? J .

Because big tires hold the road bettef and last longer than little tires. But that's only half of it. The Volkswagen people put those big wheels on the VW so that we could have bigger brakes, too. Obviously, the bigger tfte brakes the swer the stops. The big wheels also let nice fresh air in to cool the brakes more quickly. Which means that the VWs brakes olway come back for more, no matter bow hord yom step on them. The VW's wheels are bigger than they hoyfc Id be because VW likes to overdo things in a big way.

Chapel Hill St Durham Open Friday Nights 'tU 9 HOMZE SCALES Sport Shorts Mike, Mac, Charlie Play In High Point Mike Cooke, Charlie Shaffer and Bryan McSweeney will play in the Boys Home Invitational basketball game tonight at the High Point College Gymnasium. The game pits the "Big Four" seniors against the Carolinas Conference seniors. Joining the UNC stars on the Big Four squad are: Pete Auksel, N. C. State; Frank Christie, Richard Carmichael, Butch Hassell and Brad Brooks all of Wake Forest; and Terry Holland of Davidson who received a special invitation to play. The Carolina Conference All-Stars won last year's game 82-81. Talbott, Beaver Star In Scrimmage . Sophomore quarterbacks Danny Talbott and Jeff Beaver tossed touchdown passes Saturday as North Carolina's football team held a full-scale off-season scrimmage session. When the Blue team, the losers, reached field goal territory, Coach Jim Hickey gave Talbott the go-ahead to change sides and try to boot it. He made, the goal good from 30 yards. He also kicked a 25-yard field goal for the Whites, the winners. Talbott's 27-yard touchdown pass to end Frank Gallagher opened the scoring. Beaver flipped one to Max Chapman who carried it over from the 18. Heels this spring. There are four ".300 hitters" in the line-up (Tom Wright, Jim Speight, Dickie Prin dle and Ken Boykin) and Rabb also has the long-ball men in Ken Willard and Bill Brown. The potential is there. It's just a case of the players feeling at home up there at the plate once again. And in a short season such as the colleges play, the batters can't delay. The varsity and frosh got in eight innings with Spence Wil . lard, Bobby Cox and sophomore Buddy Cohoon doing the pitching for the varsity. "I was pleased with Willard'i job on the mound," said Rabb "He's been bothered with a shoul der sprain and this was his first scrimmage work. On the other hand, Cox wasn't sharp at all Sophs Beattie Leonard and Mike McLaughlin and vet Bill Haywood will hurl this after noon against Elon. In addition to this one, UNC will have two prac tice games against Duke, here on Thursday, there on Friday. The season opens next Monday against Connecticut. Rathskeller ST.

"I've got to get them back down into the pool again so we can start getting ready for the National Championships March 26." The Tar Heels assumed their heavenly perch last weekend when they surprised everybody including themselves with third place finish, behind Yale and Army, in the Eastern Champion ships at Hanover, N. H. "The boys really outdid them selves," Earey said. "The East ern Championships is strictly the big leagues of swimming, and that's the way ithe kids per formed." Earey only took six the best cf a club that won 12 of 14 meets and a share of the ACC Cham pionship along with Maryland.

All-Campus Final Tonight By PETE GAMMONS Tonight at nine ATO and the Ehringhaus Aces will square off to decide the intramural All Campus Basketball champion ships. Both are the Blue Division winners in their respective class. Tne Aces are made up of what are commonly called the cam pus "jocks," consisting of one baseball captain and four foot ball players. Baseball Captain Bill Haywood is the lone non footballer in the starting lineup, and is averaging around seven points a game. Frank Gallagher, starting end on the football team, usually plays the pivot, flanked by Haywood and fullback Eddie Kesler. At the guards are Jimmy Gallagher and Junior Edge. Richie Zarro is the top re serve. ATO, last year's champs, have been led all year by Sammy Simpson, who consistently has been their .top scorer, averaging around fourteen points. Watts Carr usually has been the runner-up to Simpson in the scoring. Buff Moore, Jim Corbett, and Dickie Fleming should be the other ATO starters. To say thai ATO is the favorite just because they are defending champs is hard to do especially since they lost last year's star, Roger Pcr.d land, to garduation.
