Page 4 0 The Blue Dukes are still number one and with just reason. They beat the Tar Heels of the University of North Carolina. A determined Tar Heel team could not find that spark it needed to unseat the Blue Devils as best team in the nation. "I was disappointed in the team's playing," Coach Dean Smith said, ""but not in their effort." Smith continued saying, "(Jack) Marin couldn't be stopped and when we had to give up a shot, he was there to take it." Marin was singled out by Coach Smith as the most underrated player in the conference not getting the publicity deserved of such a fine athlete. The Tar Heels were not sharp yesterday after noon, but the Dukes were ready and rarin' to go. Long shots, short shots, rebounds, ball handling they could do no wrong. When one of the tall Blue Devils got into trouble, another giant came off the bench to take his place. With that type of team, any one is going to have trouble. Bob Verga looked most impressive with his shoot ing and Steve Vacendak handled the ball superbly. Although Duke won, they don't deserve all the' praise. Miller looked terrific under the boards and he and Bennett played the middle nicely. "I think this is the best game of Miller's brief career," Coach Smith said, "and Bennett was hust ling all the time." In elaborating further at his press conference, Coach Smith said, "Bob Lewis played a fine defen sive game." Lewis, the nation's second best scorer was held to 18 points. Coach Smith in talking with reporters after the game said, "The Duke team seems to have gotten up for all the big games which include UCLA, Michigan and North Carolina. "They just didn't show any signs of pressure that I had expected from the number one team in the nation," Smith said. The Vic Bubas squad carries an 11-1 overall rec ord for the season, but that record doesn't mean the Blue Devils can't meet defeat, and remember North Carolina fans Carolina has another crack at the Dukes on February 26. So on February 26: "Go Heels Go, Beat Dook." Thinclads Beat State. Tie Duke By DRUMMOND BELL DTH Sports Writer The Carolina thinclads open ed their Indoor season in the Tin Can with a win over N. C. State and a tie with Duke. The final outcome was decided in the last relay which Duke won by inches, and Carolina had to settle with a 50-50-25 score. As in past years, the run ning events were the strong point for Carolina. However, the field events showed great improvement as Garry Iverson won the broad jump with a leap of 21'6". Lester Hyder and Bill Busby showed unexpected depth in the pole vault as they finished WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS SEE US for MONEY! Serving the Area as Pawn brokers for over thirty-seven years.

Jim Coghill Assistant DTH Sports Editor right behind Duke's Homer who won the event with a vault of 12'6". Duke scored eight points in the shot put as Con ference Champion Bob Stew art won impressively with a fine put of 55'8 1-2". Carolina gained ground in the dashes as Jon Levin ran a very fast 6.4 in the sixty defeating Duke footballer Dave Dunaway. State scored a vic tory in the 70 yd. Hurdles as Steve Corn won in 9.4. Corn was the major point-getter for N. C. State as he also placed in the broad jump and high jump. The distances were domi nated by Duke and Carolina, and State only placed in the mile. Sophomore Mike Wil liams ran a fine tactical race against State's Mel Woodcock and sprinted away on the last turn to wm m 4.26.5. Caro lina's slim lead was increased in the 440 yd. dash where Ed Daw kicked home in 52.2 ahead of Blue Devil Rod Stewart. In both the mile and 440 Carolina picked up two additional points with the third places of Rus sell Putnam and Dave Kropel nicki. Sophomore Bill Bassett won the 880 yd. run going away as he lead from the gun and fin ished ahead of Duke's Jim Zodda and Billy Weldein in the respectable time of 2.02.2. In the two mile Captain Jim Meade ran against Duke's ioph sensational, Paul Rogers Meade took the lead and held it through the first mile and a half; however, with three laps to go, Rogers sprinted into the lead and ran away from his competitor. The time of 9.34 earned Rogers the second best effort of the day. The mile relay was the de ciding factor of the meet, which Carolina had to win in order to beat the Blue Devils. Holding only a two point lead the thinclads showed tremen dous effort, but Ed Daw, Car olina's anchorman, could not catch Dunaway and lost by a foot in the finest effort of the meet. Thus, Carolina had to settle with a 50-50-25 win and tie in its first triangular meet of the early Indoor season. BUFFET RANCH 4 MEATS 6 SALADS ALL YOU CAN Duke Pushed By Courageous Play By BILL ROLLINS DTH Sports Writer The man who coaches the top-ranked college basketball team in America walked away from his dressing room down to the end of a long hall, and then turned to face a triple handful of sportswriters who had just seen his team beat Carolina for its ninth straight win. "Gentlemen," Duke's Vic Bubas began, "I would say that we played this game very courageously today. By that I mean that we met every chal lengeeach time they pulled close, we were able to get key baskets and hold the lead." He was quickly asked about the play of his top two scorers. "Jack (Marin) and Bob (Verga) both had excellent shooting days, he acknowledg ed, but we haven't had a real good overall game like this one since before Christmas, and we were real pleased to have it come today." "But," he said, "one of the main things was that we lost two ball games to Carolina last year, and we really want ed to come back from that." In the first half, Marin car ried Duke for the most part, hitting almost everything he threw up for 14 points.' Then Verga, who had 10 poins at the midway rest began to bomb after action resumed, and pour ed in 17 to enable the Devils to hold and slightly expand their lead to its final reach of 88-77. Another factor a very big factor which Bubas made sig nificant mention of was the fact that Duke was able to con vert sixteen out of 17 free throws in the second period. For the game, they scored on eighteen of 21 chances. From the floor, Duke shot 57.4 per cent, and Bubas said of this two-pronged accuracy: "When you hit that well, you're going to wTin most of the time." Duke went with a man-for-man defense until center Mike Lewis drew his fourth foul with 14:56 left in the game. At that juncture, Duke held a 50-47 lead. "We switched to a zone then," said Bubas, "and thev vnl 1 V A ' 1 r Talbott Receives Aivard Danny Talbott, named ear lier by the Atlantic Coast Con ference Sportswriters Associa tion as the ACC's "Player of the Year," received the offi cial award yesterday in a half time presentation at the UNC Duke game. Alex Crockett of the Dur ham Morning Herald, an ex ecutive member of the asso ciation, presented the award to the Tar Heel junior who com bined passing (1,084 yards) and rushing (397 yards) to lead the ACC in total yard age. DINNER at (be HOUSE 6 VEGETABLES BEVERAGE DESSERT EAT $2.95 THE DAILY (UNO seemed to have more trouble with that than they did with the man-for-man." Even at that, Carolina held the Duke lead in the three-to-six point range until Duke got two bombs from Verga and six straight points to open it up at 79-66 with 3:56 left. "Bobby hit a 'lot of clutch baskets for us down the stretch," Bubas stated, "and that's one reason why he is so valuable." Duke is pretty well known for its ability to successfully execute a pressing defense, and Bubas was asked why he didn't use it at all during this game. "We always go with what is giving satisfactory results," he answered, "and today we felt pretty confident with the man-for-man and the zone." As was expected, Bubas as signed his 6-6 forward Jack Marin to the task of guarding UNC's Bob Lewis, who carried a 31.8 average into the game. Lewis came out of the scrap with 18 points, and this is what Bubas had to say about that: "We always give Jack the job of guarding the opposing team's top scorer when we run a man-for-man. Before this game we challenged him to cover Lewis and 'hold him down,' and I think he did an excellent job in holding him below his average." Bubas also commended his other forward, Bob Riedy, for his job on Larry Miller. But Vic, Miller hit over his 23-point average. "I still consider the job which Riedy did on Miller to be a real fine one, considering the ball player that Miller is." "Both Miller and Lewis are devastating when they get close to the basket. They get a lot of squiriming, twisting shots and make a good per centage. They're both fine bas ketball players." "Carolina played their press well," he said. "We had faced the press before, but today we had more trouble finding the open man than usual. But we hit from outside well." "I have said before that I think Carolina is the most un derrated team in the confer ence, and after today I'll say it again. Danny also smashed the single-game total yardage record at UNC, rolling up 318 yards against Georgia to pass Char lie Justice's old mark of 304. His 70 points (7 TD's, 13 PAT's, 5 FG) placed him sec ond to Justice in seasonsal scoring at UNC. Another Talbott statistic for the year includes 103 pass completions which tied a school record. He also was the All-ACC first baseman in baseball, hit ting for a .364 average as a sophomore. atM ft For the Best in Wihon Sporting Goods and Converse Sneakers, shop at I iASTGflTi BflDMJflDE ( CONVERSE ALL-STARS 8.95 Eastgate Shopping Center Phone 942-2920 TV Rental TAR HEEL Just now good is this unbeaten freshmen basket ball team of ours?

"We use him both at guard and forward. Bostick is not really the sixth man because I consider all six of these boys as starters. His versatility has meant a great deal to the team. We have been get ting into foul trouble and when we put Bostick in he doesn't let us down one bit. " John Lotz Will Become Familiar Face At UNC By SANDY TREAD WELL DTH Sports Writer Lotz isn't a household name in Carolina sports, but it soon will be. Whenever there's a time out in Carmichael Auditorium he stands quietly and attentively behind a cluster of athletes. John Lotz isn't in the spotlight, but he shoulders all the work that goes with a college coach ing job. And he shoulders it happily. Coach Lotz is a recruiter. He journeys to high school gyms all over the country in search of basketball talent. "We're mainly after boys who live within a thousand miles of Chapel Hill," the coach said, "but we'll reach out to the west coast if we hear about a player whose really interested in us. The ACC allows us to give five scholarships each year. "The final selection of the five athletes is done by the three coaches. We're not after only the 6'10" ball players. Each boy must have speed and quickness. The final decision is based on those who will play and help the team." John Lotz is also a scout. Early in December he logged a lot of miles in planes and rented cars. Between ball games he flew to Columbus, Ohio; Richmond, Va.; and Tallahasse, Florida in order to help Dean Smith devise game plans against upcoming teams.

"He's a tremendous guy, and he's doing a great job," says Bobby Lewis. As for Lotz's impression of his new job: "I couldn't be happier. I'm pleased to be a part of such a great Univer sity. I've never worked with a better group of boys. I have a great deal of respect for Dean Smith. He gets total ef fort out of his boys. The fresh men team is characterized by its very unselfish play. This is inspired by Larry Brown's example, and it's a real trib ute to him. "I really look forward to the rest of this season. Next year will take care of itself." Carolina did a great job in recruiting last year. And one of its finest catches was the tall man in the dark suit, John Lotz.

Brown: By Fan By BILL ROLLLNS DTH Sports Writer Larrv Brown extended his arms at full length in front of his body and popped the tab top off a can of coke. But before he even took time for the. pause that refreshes he exclaimed with a cool but wide-eyed enthusiasm which is his alone: "Oh gee, I was just thrilled to death with the crowd to night. They gave us tremen dous support and tonight it was really needed. Brown's Tar Babies had just put their sixth straight win m the books by stopping Duke's spirited threat by 78 65. It was a game in which they had shown flashes of bril liance in some instances, but which had been dominated by ragged play, seeing them suf fer more than 20 floor mis takesat least twice their us ual quota. But Brown wasn't through with his first topic of comment yet. "I could never say enough about all the students (official estimate: 4,500) who came to see us play. Those standing ovations really fired the boys up, and I can tell you they did something to me too. It was really great." The self-styled Long Island native who departed from his usual navy blue suit to don a flash burgundy and white sport coat for this one stood near the shower room door and watched his boys climb out of their sweat-soaked uniforms. A somber atmosphere pre vailed, being saved from abso lute dejection only by the fact that the foe had been bested. "These fellas really gave it a fighting effort tonight," Brown said. "Maybe we weren't as sharp as we have been, but they were really ready to play when we left there before the game. Then when we got out there (to the court) the crowd lifted them prety high." When the crowd drowned out the public address an nouncer at the player intro ductions, Brown just pulled his boys off the bench one at a time and sent them out. And when Gerald Tuttle met the er four starters at center court, they almost yanked each other's arms out of their sock ets as they piled up hands. At the game's end, they had shot for 54.2 per cent to Duke's 36.4, outrebounded the Imps by a slight 52-45 margin, and meshed their play for 31 as sists even slightly above their usual total. But they had misplayed 13 times and Duke had swiped 11 passes for an error total of 24. And they had continued their atrocious foul shooting, mak ing only 14 out of 31 tires. Rusty Clark had missed eight of 12 first half shots, includ ing several pokes from out side and sat out eight minutes of the second half with four fouls. He could not be consoled by the fact that he hit each of his four second half shots and collected 10 rebounds and scored 17 points plus handing out four assists and making three steals. Dick Grubar had engineered seven assists, four outright steals and scored nine points while riding the bench for 12 minutes with his first foul difficulty of the season. He just pelted the pile of sweaty uni forms with a sock, shook his head and headed for the show er when congratulated, obvi ously feeling he hadn't done his part. Joe Brown played brilliantly for the third consecutive game, scoring 11 out of 15 UNC tal lies in the opening nine min utes of the second period, fin ished with 14 points and eight rebounds. In the past three games, Joe has hit 21-0f-28 shots while averaging 16.3 points and eight rebounds per game. DURHAM N. & The BLUE CHIP Company since 1846 that's low in net cost.

The lead was 38-29 at the half, but the strong rebounding and scoring of 6-7 Duke for ward Fred Lmd early in the final period pulled the DU boys to within 45-41 at 13:51. Then at 10:03, Duke center and team leader Steve Vanden berg, who was held to eight points and three rebounds by Clark, fouled out and the Duke bench drew a technical foul. Bunting then hit the penalty shot, plus two free throws and two quick baskets to drop the Imps hopelessly arrears at 62 47, with 7:17 left. UNC's big gest lead was 17 points. Disregarding everyting else, Brown said in finality: "We won and we beat Duke and that's the only thing that counts." Xnturanc Est&is AnnultlM "Tim It All It Cotls To Compare" William M.
