THE TAR HEEL

Carolina Has Its Share
Of Two-Sport Athletes
In this day of fast pace uni
versities and colleges, athletes
find the going tougher than
would have been the case 10
or 15 years ago. It is becom
ing increasingly harder for col
leges to find scholastically
qualified ball players.
An especially hard task is
that of the multi-sport athlete.
The two-sport breed is fast
dwindling. At UNC a surpris
ing number of two-sport men
answer roll call. Here is a look
at some of them.
Bo Wood, a 223 pound end
in the fall, hangs up his cleats
in the spring, so that he can
'throw the discus for the track
team. Wood, a rising senior
from Barrington, N. J., holds
the school record for the dis
cus. He had a full spring,
practicing football on Monday,
Wednesday, Friday and Satur
day, and track on Tuesday,
Thursday, and Sunday.
Steve Lister, Wood's 220
pound roommate, wrestles and
plays defensive end for the
Tar Heels. A Bargaintown,
N. J., native, Lister partici
pated in track, football and
baseball in high school. Says
Lister, "I walk off the football
field and onto the wrestling
mat."
Charlie Carr, a 200 lb. Vir
ginia Beach product, displays
his ability to catch the year
round, at split end in the fall
and in center field during the
spring. "Playing two sports
takes a little out of each one,"
said Carr. "You can't really
get proficient in either one, as
you would like to."
Bill Dodson packs 195 pounds
on a 6 foot 1 inch frame. His
place kicking ability took a
back seat when he became the
seventh man on this past
y e a r's freshmen basketball
team. Having played sports
the year round in high school
in Alexandria, Va.. Dodson has
found playing two sports in
c o 1 1 e g e to be "no big prob
lem." He was ' considering
playing baseball but dropped
the idea in favor of spring
football.
Jim Frye, a 6 foot 5 inch
basketballer from Homewood,
111., uses his jumping talents
to help the track team in the
high jump and the high hur
dles. The lean 186-pound Frye
holds the high hurdle and the

high jump record at his high
school at Flowmoor, 111. Frye,
like Dodson, played three
sports in high school, cross
country, track and basketball.
Pete Worthen, a 210-pounder
from Andover, Mass., swims
the 50 and 100-yard freestyle
and throws the discus. An All
America swimmer, Worthen is
now co-captain. He holds the
national freshman record in
the 50-yard freestyle. Worthen
devotes nine months to swim
ming and only two months to
track, yet he placed third in
the ACC in the discus last
year. One year before coming
to UNC, Worthen was forced
to give up wrestling and foot
ball due to a back injury.
Then, he took up swimming
and track.
Bob Hume, a 200-pounder
from Memphis, Tenn., plays
flanker back in football and
left field in baseball. He is a
two-year letterman in both
sports. Hume played the same
sports in high school, and his
senior year football team was
city champion. Hume's ability
to get on base and skill with
the bat is shown by his posi
tion in the lineup as lead-off
man.
Bronson Van Wyck, a wiry
tennis and soccer player, lives
in Greenwich, Conn. Van Wyck
plays inside right and right
wing in soccer. In tennis he al
ternates with Gene Hamilton
as the No. 1 singles player.
Serving as junior co-captain
with Kenny Oettinger, Van
Wyck has lost only four match
es in the last two years.
A car accident almost cut
short Van Wyck's athletic ca
reer. For part of his senior
year in high school, Van
Wyck's body was in a cast and
his wounds required over 100
stitches. This 174-pounder
fought back and won a berth
on the U. S. team at Wimble
don his freshman year at UNC.
Danny Talbott, a 6-footer
from Rocky Mount, was a
three-sport letterman in high
school, playing football, basket
ball, and baseball. As the Tar
Heel first baseman his soph
omore year, Talbott made All
ACC, with a .362 batting av
erage. 'As a junior, Talbott
made AU-ACC, and was chos
' en as the Player of the Year
