CLEMSON, S. C. Frank
Howard can find a new name
for his football stadium. "Death
Valley" is no more.
The Tar Heels invaded the
Tigers' den yesterday and gave
Howard his worst defeat in
seven years, 29-0. For the Tar
Heels and coach Jim Hickey
the victory couldn't have been
sweeter. It was the first time
Carolina had beaten Howard
since 1957 and the first win for
Hickey over the Clemson
coach.
The Tar Heels used two
Clemson fumbles to cash in :
for two touchdowns, drove 60
yards for another and scored t
the last on a 69-yard bomb from
Gary Black to Ronnie Jackson.
Clemson center Joe Waldrep
gave the Tar, Heels two more
points when he centered the'
ball out of the end zone in a.
punting situation.
After the game, Howard was
his usual self. Coming into the
Carolina dressing room he
spotted Hickey and moans,
"You shouldn't come down
here and beat me so bad on my
Homecoming Day."
"Well, Frank," replied Hick
ey, "You've beaten me so often,
it's about time we beat you."
Then Howard wanted to
know where halfback Ken Wil
lard was. Spotting Willard,
Howard goes over and makes
good of his claim that he was
going to kiss Ken goodbye
after the game. "I love to see
good seniors leave," explained
Frank.
The turning point of the
game came in the second quar
ter with the Tar Heels leading
14-0. Clemson controlled the
ball for 32 plays to only five
for Carolina, but still failed to
score. The Tar Heel defense
strengthened each time the
Tigers threatened and stopped
Clemson drives on their 27 and
13.
Linebackers Richy Zarro and
Chris Hanburger led the Tar
Heel defensive charge. Zarro,

An elated Carolina Tar Baby
football squad left Duke Stad
ium Saturday afternoon with
an undefeated record for the
campaign as well as a satisfy
ing victory over the Duke Blue
Imps.
After coming from behind
and parading to a 30-7 advan
tage, the Baby Blue were
forced to subdue a last quar
ter Duke surge for their fifth
consecutive victory, 30-28. This
mark enables Carolina to claim
its second straight Big Four
championship.
This annual clash, played be
fore an estimated 10,000 for
the benefit of the North Caro
lina Cerebral Palsy Hospital,
saw 'UNC headed for an easy
victory. However, the Blue
Imps never stopped scrambling
until the final buzzer, and only
the heroic efforts of John Esher,
a 185-pound defensive back
from Foisom, Pennsylvania,
saved the Tar Heels.
After the Blue Imps had tal
lied 'after a pass interception,
they went for their second two-

ceiver open in the end zone,
. Esher blocked the pass to. pre
. serve the UNC lead. Four plays
after the ensuing kickoff, the
Tar Babies -were forced to
pnt " on fourth down. Esher
intercepted a Larry Davis pass
just as Duke began to roll and
snuffed all Imp hopes.
In what had been predicted
as a defensive match, a superb
offensive show developed to de
light the many spectators. This
blitz of the goal lines began in
the opening quarter with a 40
yard field goal by UNC's Char
lie Carr which eventually pro
vided the winning margin.
Carolina scored twice in
each of the next two stanzas.
After Duke had gone ahead 7-3,
the Baby Blue took the kickoff
and marched on the shoulders
of ' quarterback Tim Karrs for
the tally. Howard Hackney
took a handoff around left end
for a 20-yard scamper to pay
dirt. Just before the half, Karrs
hit his former high school
teammate Bob Harenski for an
aerial TD that covered 26
- yards. The Tar - Heels shot
