Dear Coach Smith,
This is just a nie la let ycu knaw that we all of us
everywhere are thinking about you and your baskeall team.
You'll notice in today's paper that the man ycu worked under
for two years, Frank McGuire, has more than a passing interest,
himself.
"North Carolina is uay ahead in the ACC picture," the South
Carolina Coach told a luncheon news conference Tuesday.
You know what that means:
Pressure.
Every sports writer in the state Donald Green in Charlotte,
Ed Seaman in Fayetteville, Dick Herbert in Raleigh, el, aL are
saying that North Carolina is the class o! the Atlantic Ccast
Conference this year.
And the students, here!
Let me tsll you about the students here.
For one thing, the game Saturday night against Virginia
Tech they are thinking about you, tco was an immediate
sellout. It will be like that all year, you know.
'Ah, Now, Dean, We Made It Last Year' Ha(j Tq mere Tq
Heels Way Ahead
In ACC McGmire
Columbia, S.C. (UPI)
University of South Carolina
basketball coach Frank
McGuire Tuesday gave an
optmistic outlook for the
Gamecocks' upcoming season,
but said North Carolina
probably would lead again in
Conference.
"North Carolina is way
ahead in the ACC picture,"
McGuire told a luncheon news
conference. "Duke was second
with (Warren) Chapman
playing. . .but now with him
out it will be a dogfight for
second place."
McGuire said four South
Carolina veterans would return
this season. They are Gary
Gregor, Frank Standard, Skip
Harlicka and Jack
Thompson.
McGuire said Thompson had
been injured and if he were not
c o m p 1 e te 1 y ready for
Saturday's opener here against
Erskine he would start Bob
Cremings in his place.
McGuire said if the
Gamecocks had a wekaness it
Yes Virginia
there is a
Sascha Claus.
would be their lack of height.
He said also that forward
Bob Fleter had been in a
"slump" during the past few
weeks and added "whether
he's going to help or not is a
mystery right now."
A "good" starting lineup,
McGuire said, would be
Standard, Gregor, Cremings,
Harlicka or Thompson.
He said forward Charlie
Vacca was a good rebounder
but was limited in his speed.
"Cremings is going to help
us," McGuire said, "He'll be
playing a lot of basketball for
us this year. If there's a mixup
underneath he'll be in the
, middle of it. Last year I think
he had 164 rebounds and that's
. unheard of for a back court
man."
On the Gamecocks' defensive
outlook McGuire said the real
man's game was one-on-one.
"Flesh and blood, chest and
chest". McGuire, however,
added "we have to go into
zones in order to protect the"
fellow from fouling."
He said terms like "multiple
defenses" covered a lot of
"toalogna", and added there
-swere' only two kinds of defense
man-toman or zone. . ; -"or no
defense at all."
Don Walsh said in a scouting
report that Erskine had good
experience.
One fellow has already come to me with a request for tickets
and how in t e world am I supposed ta help him? All I could do
was tell him where to go.
Now I don't want you to think I'm trying to plug my magazine
(Carolina Blue Review. . .on sale everywhere. . .cost only a
quarter. . .), but it's selling pretty well.
Do you know why?
Of course you do. .
It's because the students here are frantic for a winner.
Pressure.
Porejemplo:
Two students in Y Court:
Tall One: "Boy, I can't wait till the season starts. It's going to
be great watching ole Clark and Miller in there again."
Short One: "I'll say. It burns me up that I wasn't able to buy
a ticket."
So what it all means the national ranking, the ACC favorite's
role, the high expectations cf supporters is that there are an
awful lot of people who will be disappointed if the Tar Heels don't
win big this year.
Like we said in the Carolina Blue Review (there I go again)
people tend to forget the Bobby Lewises who graduate and the
baskets that almost didn't go in.
-A Conversation Remembered
Ne t 4hat I don't understand your position.
' Oh, how well do I remember that conversation we had in your
office: . . '
You: "Honest, Larry, we were very fortunate last year to
finish as well as we did. Do ycu realize that in seven games last
year we won by only four points or less?" .
. Me: "Sure, Coach, but with four starters back shouldn't we be
that much more improved."
Ycu: "Of course four returnees are roing to help but Bobby
Lewis was very important to the team. It will be impossible for
us to replace his great leadership qualities."
I admit that your case seems pretty strong. And too, South
Carolina does have four starters returning and N.C. State does
have Eddie Biedenbach back and Wake Forest does have two fine
saBhpjTwr why it's your team--our
team that is -getting, the build up?, r,.
' Like that headline said in a state paper the other day, "Tar
Heels Again Toast Of The South."
I'll drink to that. ' '

Last season's freshman
basketball team, paced by
Charlie Scott, registered a fine
13-3 record. The year before
with Rusty Clark, Bill Bunting,
Dick Grubar, Gerald Tuttle,
and Joe Brown starting, the
Irosh had an even better 15-1
mark.
This gives the Frosh a 2S-4
record over the past two
seasons.
Obviously it is going to be
hard for this year's freshman
squad to match the records of
its two predecessors. Making
the task even more difficult is
the fact that Carolina had a
poor recruiting year last
season and only three players
won athletic scholarships.
"Last spring's recruiting
program was disappointing,"
admitted new frosh coach Bill
Guthridge. "It was hard to get

Don Eggleston a 6-9

Charlotte, will team with
Dedmon and Chadwick on the

Tuttle, whose brother Gerald
is a member of the UNC
varsity team, will be at guard.
His baekcourt sidekick is Dale
Gipple of Burlington.
Statesville's Jim Bradford,
Richard Garrett from Durham,
and Pres Ruddell of Needham,
Mass., are rescue guards. Holt
Trotman from Winston-Salem
and Ward Skinner of Dallas,
Texas are the top subs in the
front court.
Coach Guthridge listed good
height, hustle, and
determination as his -squad's
chief assets. He called his
team "a fair shooting club."
"We'll be a pretty fair
defensive team." Guthridge
added. "We won't have re3l
quickness, but our team
defense should be good.
-We'll try ta fast break when
we get the opportunity," the
Tar Baby mentor continued.
-Our height will give us the
chance to get the rebound and
start the break."
Coach Guthridge doesn't
know if his team will be as
good as the two previous frosh
teams.
"I reallv have no idea what
face
this
oar final record will be." he
said. "Were going to
some toush opposition
year."
The Tar Babies open their
season Saturday night against
Louisburg College at
Cannichael Auditorium. The
game, which starts at 6 p.m. is
a preliminary to Carolina's
varsity match with Virginia
Tech."

By BOB CURRIE
The Associated Press wire
pol has rated Dean Smith's
North Carolina basketball
team fourth in the nation and
the Tar Heel coach is pleased,
but.
The 1967 Atlantic Coast
Conference Coach of the Year
sees the coming season filled
with a great number of
dangerous clubs that will make
a top 10 rating in the nation as
insecure as a sharecropper in
a drought.
There were forebodings of
this in this fall's football
season.
"Some of the top ranked
teams this fall like Michigan
State, Notre Dame, Texas and
Miami were beaten o r
eliminated early in the
season," said Smith "and I
think we can expect the same
sort of thing in intercollegiate
basketball."
The Tar Heels, defending
ACC and Eastern Regional
champions, open their season
Saturday against a -highly
regarded and ranked Virginia
Tech squad. The road back to
the NCAA playoffs Is lurking
with a stronger and better
balanced conference race and
powerful outside foes.
"Everyone these days has
scholarships and money to
seek out the top prospects,"
explained Smith, "so
understandably, there is a
of
in
basketball
ev e r y
higher calibre
being played
league."
"Television gives a lin o s t
everyone a chance to see good
collegiate and professional
basketball," he says. "Just
look what TV has done for golf.
There isn't anyone who doesn't
kriow what a perfect swing is
supposed to look like." -
Smith said that a nationwide
increase in the number and
ability of players is responsible
for the rise of the phenomenon
that "on a certain night, any
one team can beat any other
team."
In short, Smith is not resting
on the past season's plaudits
and certainly not on the
poll. -
