Is Tough Virginia Sp 1 jr . ace Well -J' A LARRY BROWN (Note The writer is a former sports editor of The Daily Tar Heel.) - By HARRY LLOYD Charlotte Observer Sports Writer ONLY A YEAR ago, Larry Brown figured he had the best college basketball coaching job in the country. He was an assistant to Dean Smith at North Carolina, where Brown had been a star guard in 1961 63. "It was perfect." he reasoned. "I really love Chapel Hill. And I could learn more about basketball from Coach Smith, I believe, than anybody. It was just the place to be noticed for a headcoaching job, too." Nobody wants to be a basketball coach more than Larry Brown does. As a freshman coach at UNC for two seasons, he carved out en viable records of 15-1 and 13-3. "But I'm just learning," he said. "Someday. . ." Yet there was one thing Brown desired even more than coaching basketball. That was playing it. When .Brown left UNC as an AlliAtlantic Coast Conference guard, he was snubbed by the pros because he was only 5-11. So he went to the AAU league, played for Akron, and was named most valuable player in the , J964 amateur tournament. He earned a spot on the, Olym pic team, and starred 'in,,(the United States' victory over Russia in the finals. That made the pros look closer, but Brown preferred at that time a sure thing returning to Chapel Hill. There he was satisfied, until talk circulated last year of a new pro basketball league. Brown debated with himself for months before deciding to sign with the American Basketball Association's New Orleans Buccaneers. Buc coach Babe McCarthy, former ly at Mississippi State am? George Washington, wasn't prejudiced against 5-11 guards as long as they could play like Larry Brown. IT DIDN'T take long for Brown to feel at home. His former UNC teammate Doug Moe, star of the Italian leagues for the last two years, was also with the Bucs. Moe, Brown says, is one of the two best forwards in the league. The other is Pittsburgh's Connie Hawkins. Brown earned a starting job as the team's "quarterback" and top defensive guard. The team won its first game, lost its second, and then started a winning streak that hasn't stopped yet. But Brown began to have doubts as to whether he should have been playing at all. "It had nothing to do with ARMED GUARDS! AW VANDELLAS THE SINGERS NO ONE COULD RESIST "UNINHIBITED, RISQUE, BRAZEN, BUT EXCEP TIONAL ..." CHESLEY HARDWYCK Tickets Go On Sale Today For $1.25 At G.M. More At Door VATCH FOR PREVIEW OF THE 5TH DIMENSION AND BUDDY RICH By DALE GIBSON of The Daily Tar Heel Staff The way Bill Dooley sees it, Virginia's Frank Quayle "is probably the best all-around player we will face this year." Speaking at his weekly press luncheon Tuesday, Dooley call ed this 5-9, 190 pounder "as good at player as there is anywhere." The speedy halfback spearheads a Virginia Cavalier team that entertains North Carolina i n Charlottesville Saturday. "Virginia is a funny team" 'rowrn Shnnes lu AM A the stability of the league," he said. "I think it will stick. But it was me, my legs. I'm the only player on all 11 teams who hadn't played regularly in two years. I didn't have any life in my legs. I never knew 48 minutes was such a long time. "Thursday night, though, it seemed to come back. For the first time, I felt quick. I felt like I had some life in my legs again. That night, New Orleans felt some life, too, and blasted New Jersey, 141-117. Brown scored 15 points and had 12 assists. THE ABA SEASON stretches 78 games long, to March 23. Then the top two teams in each division hold a playoff. From early-season performances, it looks as if New Orleans might meet the Indiana Pacers, the Eastern Division leader, in the finals. "Indiana is the only team in the league with much depth," says Brown. "We have - a strong first six, with Doug, Jackie Moreland and Jesse Branson of Elon at forward, Red Bobbins of Tennessee at center, and James Jones, a great 6-5 rookie from Grambl- ing, at guard with me:"" .01 Moe:- Brown comments "Doug's game has changed tremendously from college. It used to be, you could guard against his drive and give him the outside shot. Now he's knocking them in from outside, 18-20 feet. He plays a great team game passing, re bounding arid defense, and still manages to score 20-22 a " game." Other Brown observations on the new league: Fan support: "People, here are really crazy about the Saints, but now they're getting on our bandwagon. At first they gave us a show-me at titude, but a lot of interest has been created of late." The red-white-blue basket ball: "I don't like it, because it is too slippery, has wide seams and doesn't bounce true every time. But as long as we're win ning, we won't complain." On Rick Barry: "Down here, we felt it was a victory when Barry signed with Oakland. When he plays next year, it should increase interest around the league. But I don't think Barry will dominate the league. In my opinion, Connie Hawkins is the best player alive, and he doesn't dominate."

No one has really run over the Cavaliers this season." Virginia is presently sixth in the ACC race with a 1-3 recora The Tar Heels trail them with a i-i record. Dooley pointed out that Virginia is second in the ACC in both total offense and total defense. They lead the con ference in rushing offense. "Offensively, Virginia has three very capable backs that can really hurt you," said Dooley.

The 400 football tickets are for the Nov. 18 -game at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham. Prices are $2.50 for students and $5.00 for wives and dates. "The sale of these tickets would normally have been discontinued at this , time but we asked Duke for permission to hold a few tickets to sale this week," athletic depart ment businessmanager Vernon Cook said.

"If we get crnnH effort from our Dlavers and rise think we to the occasion. 1 can beat them," he said. Concerning the shotgun of fense the Tar Heels sprung in the 17-0 loss to Clemson last week, Dooley said, "We plan to add a little spice to our of fense.

"From what I've seen of him, he would certainly seem to be a pretty good prospect," said Carmoday. "He could help us either on Offense or defense. ,..Coach DeMelfi is certainly high on him.

School in Virginia, where he played mostly offensive tight end. "I had played a little football , before I went to Woodbury, but it was there that I really got interested in the game," Flip related. "Besides end, I also played a little defensive tackle. Here at Carolina I've enjoyed defense more than offense." Although Ray's home is in Fort Mill, S. C, there never seemed to be any question as which college he would at tend. "Both my parents went to Carolina," Flip explained. "Ever since I can remember I've heard about the schooL" Like all of the freshmen, Ray is looking forward to next spring when he can begin working out as an actual mem ber of tiie varsity squad. "When you're a freshman you don't get much of a chance to work out with the other guys on your team," Flip noted. "You're always working with ;l ' 1- think we should have a pretty good team, too." Playing the defensive line is a job without glamour. Ray feels that self-satisfaction offsets any lack of publicity a lineman gets. "Sometimes it bothers a lineman when he does a good job but no one seems to notice it or appreciate it," Flip ad mitted. "When you make a good play though it makes you feel pretty good even if you don't get any credit." The Tar Babies play their final game of the season this Saturday at Duke.

The 197-pcund Davenport has been a Carolina leader throughout the season and reached his peak Saturday with a sparkling defensive performance in the Tar Heels 17-0 loss to Clemson. "We think Jack has had an outstanding season for us," says Carolina Coach Bill Dooley. "He's a senior player and his experience certainly has been of great value to us in the secondary." It was Davenport who spearheaded the Carolina defense which made a great goalline stand against Clemson Saturday. Jack rushed up from his backfield spot to help tackle the Tigers' Buddy Gore on a fourth-and-one play at the UNC foal. Davenport came to Carolina with a fine all-around record in athletics in his Pennsylvania high school. He decided to devote full-time to football at Carolina.
