Purges are nothing new to Russia, Red China or
African nations, but they are relatively unknown
within the Atlantic Coast Conference. One happened at
the University of Maryland last week, though with
interesting results. ;
New head coach Lou Saban took a firm grip on
his axe and with four quick whacks lopped; four sen
iors off his football - squad. The move , seemed to
breathe new life into the Terrapins. Every man play
ed as if the Wake Forest game might be his. last and
the Deacons were humbled, 34-7.
Regardless of the outcome of Saban's move, and
it appears to have been successful, the whole business
was handled rather badly. I'm not disputing the
coach's right to kick the boys off his squad, but he
could have been a little more diplomatic about it.
Purges have been known to work before. A few
years ago Charley Bradshaw wielded the hatchet so
vigorously at the University of Kentucky that only 29
boys were left on the team. The result was a horrible
year for the Wildcats record-wise. The valuable ex
perience they picked up developed some; rugged
teams after that year, however. Bradshaw how has
over 70 men on his club. :-; . S - H j
There are "differences between TSradshaw's move t
it i
and Saban's move, however. Bradshaw did his house
cleaning before the season started and singled out no
one in particular. Saban waited until after the first
game before deciding he didn't want Phil Petry, Whitey
Marciniak, Ron Nalewak and Lorie McQueen around.
Saban could have demoted these boys to the third
or fourth team, told them he wasn't going to play
them, and given them the opportunity to leave the
team quietly. Instead, he waited until the films of
the Penn State game had been shown, then dismissed
the players in front of the entire team.
Saban then proceeded to spill everything to the
press, including a complete denunciation of the play
ers. The result was personal embarrassment and hu
miliation for these four players. Whatever Saban's
reasons for kicking them off the team, they did not
deserve to be treated in such a rude, utterly tasteless
manner.
To doubt that Lou Saban is a good football coach
has never enetered my mind. He coach the Buffalo
Bills to two American Football League champion
ships. His credentials are impressive. But he needs
to remember that his players now are college men,
not professionals. He didn't need to make a public
example out of the boys involved.
As I said, I don't dispute Saban's right to kick
the boys off the team. What I don't like is the way he
did it. It was needlessly insulting to each player and
a poor example of sportsmanship within the confer
ence. I, for one, have lost a great deal of respect for
Lou Saban.

If you had walked by the Carolina base
ball field thisp3st Z$egk, jaAn$gbfy' have
thought to yourself $ 'baseball in September.'
Major league baseball will be over in a
few weeks, but the college season ended for .
UNC last June. The official season will not
begin until the spring semester,; so why base
ball during cool football weather?
The Carolina varsity follows a set practice
routine in the spring, but they have games to
look forward to. What incentive do the players
have during the off season practice sessions?
Fall baseball practice does serve a defi
nite purpose for the coaches and the players.
Clad in sweat clothes, helmets, cleats the
players report to: practice. Wind, sprints, bat
ting, throwing and fielding make a practice
session. , ;
Bill Haywood, assistant baseball coach,
said, "Fall practice gives us a chance to get
acquainted with the boys. Coach Rabb and I
didn't see many freshman games. This gives
us a chance to look at the sophomores as
well as the freshmen. We can get an idea of
our potential."
Harper Ruff, a right handed pitcher, said,
"These three weeks let the coaches take a
long look at the guys coming up. They take
films of the players, study their moves, make
comparisons and show their faults." About

the pitching prosbects for the spring, Ruff
stated, "We'll have all righties unless one of
our two lefthanders (John Richards and John
Everett) come through." &' v V ? .
Many of the Carolina varsity played base
ball in the Shenandoah Valley League in Vir
ginia this summer. George McRae, L. E.
Sawyer, Danny Talbott, John Yancey, Garry
Hill, Skippy Hull, Harper Ruff, Charlie Thom
as and Ronnie Lemonds were fine represen
tatives from UNC in the Valley League.
Dallas Branch, another assistant coach,
said, "We have time to look at last year's
freshmen and also those who didn't get to
play much for the varsity last year. We can
experiment around, try players at different
positions or change their style of play."
A possible keystone combination could be
Bruce Bolick at shortstop and Charlie Thom
as at second base. Bolick will be trying to'
'beat out' Nolan Leonard, while Thomas has
to put up with sophomore Mike Vannoy's con
tentions. Bolick said that he did not play "a whole
lot of baseball this summer," and "three
weeks of practice helps me a lot."
Thomas, a starter last year as a sopho
more, stated, "We work on play situations
and fundamentals this fall. It gives everyone
a chance to get acquainted. We don't have
to start from scratch in t. . spring." Reflect
ing on the 1967 Tar Heels, Thomas said, "We
want to go back to Omaha."
From all that can be gath
ered, Friday night's "Beat
State" pep rally was an over
whelming success. Sophomore
defensive tackle Tom Renedo
best summed up the team's
reaction, "After we saw the
pep rally, we knew we had to
win."
The cheerleaders and espe
cially head man Dick Starn
es deserve credit for the ral
ly's success. This year's
group is probably the most en
thusiastic and dedicated that
the University has " seen in
some years.
Also, hats off to the stud
ent body for their role Fri
day night and at the game.
The team appreciated the sup
port. A tad of indignation was
raised by a column last week
calling fraternities "unpatriot
ic" at pep rallies. Several
? f rats rose to the challenge.
One group volunteered to do
anything the cheerleaders
wanted, while yet another fur
nished cars for the rally. Ru
mors have it that one frat
ernity, due to the prodding oL
several members, closed their
bar during the rally. That's
real school spirit.
CONGRATULATIONS
