THE DAILY TAR HEEL. Saturday, December 9, 1157 minuM Clan L Of A :: :::x-:: By LARRY KEITH Te Saga The saga of Sal Esposito's Tuesday-Thursday swimming class can be put off no longer. It is a story that raust.be told and shall be told. Today. Imagine, first, a dozen or so boys, none endowed with the poise of a Schollander or the class of a Spitzer, yet struggling, struggling, always struggling. Imagine, now, their leader. This is Sal Esposito, a man, who more than anything else, wants you to relax. Nothing can be accomplished without relaxing. The more relaxed you are, the better you will do. And Bowman Gray Swimming Pool. I do not know who Bowman Gray is or was but I do know that his swimming pools are cold. I know also that His football stadium, at Wake Forest, will be replaced next season by a new one. There may be a message there. Understand that the members of Sal Esposito's Tuesday-Thursday swimming class are not swimmers or they wouldn't be there. "I take it you are the boys who failed the swimming test," said Esposito the first day. The joke was on him, though, since some of us hadn't even tried. Four brisk laps just wasn't my idea of fun. "Now, boys," continued Esposito, "let me see the hands of those of you who at least know the basic fun damentals." Hands were raised, then more and the few of us who were left with our hands still: in our pockets felt something like wading pool dropouts. I, in fact, am. I have been given swimming lessons by m2estros all over the South. I spent two summers at a fresh air camp in South Carolina, two weeks at a pool in Georgia and the greater part of another summer at one in Charlotte. I learned nothing. My inability as an aquanaut rivals only my inability as a pole vaulter. Still, I felt some measure of comfort in the fact that at least I was among equals. With me were the lowest of the low. We began by sticking our heads under the water and working from there. I passed my first test But I had to come up for air. Esposito went quickly from head under water to front float, to back float, to front float with kick, to back float with kick. When, after several classes, we had reached front float with kick and arm movement, we felt that much progress had been made. I feel that there are, despite Esposito's attempt to keep them out, some ringers in our midst, however; It seems strange that certain members of our family are doing today what the 16-week goal is. These are the people who spoil the curve on a Biology quiz. Front crawl and elementary back stroke. you've been size OandC. "Mr. Keith he said, "your grades are indicative cf the ixnprcemem you nave -:nade in the wee I thanked him. ' Last Thursday we were tested again. Back crawl and side stroke. C and no grade. "Mr. Keith," he said, "why don t you take th? stroke test some other time? You really should work on it some more. I thanked him again, as did another Slustricus member of our class, a mustachioed Austrian. Let me tell you of Ernest Robl, who has the best breast stroke and worst side stroke in Esposito's class. "Mr. Robl," he said, "you have an outstanding breast stroke. Why must you do it on your side? Mr. Robl muttered some German oath and joined me at the rear of the line. Of course, there is more to swimming class than swim ming. The other day we saw films on LSD. Often we engage in water polo, a sport I have distinguished myself in since I play dirty. When the activity is knights on horses I shine also. I am the only person to cause a timeout because of a nose bleed. When Esposito's Tuesday-Thursday class ends at 10:50 each day (I don't know when it begins) a part of me just isn't the same. x J -4 I m "" '"k-- ' - w 'S t- V -tv .

Harry Olszewski, Clcinson guard, and Gorald Warren, State place kicking specialist, were named to the second team. 'S Gribble Top r Gun TO 1 UK"" As DKE Earns Win " t ; j ....

Millions from the Oklahoma plains to the Canadian border tune in WSM radio's 40-year old weekly country- music broadcast; while only a few thousand in Vandy's Memorial Gym, UNC fanatics in Chapel Hill and Vanderbilt haters in Knoxville will follow the game. Don't believe that Vandy would rather beat the Heels than any other team.-' Ten nessee is the most hated and despised Commodore opponent, and Vandy fans would rather beat the Vols than go to heaven. When Dean Smith's outfit ar rives in Nashville, they will be stepping into a typical Southern town. It's a step above Durham, but then it's not Atlanta. Nashville would be more like Richmond except Andrew Jackson's Hermitage outside town keeps a democratic at mosphere ?.nd guards against the old family aristocracy of the Virginia capital. Nashville calls itself "Music City USA," which means that only in New York are more records cut in a city.

If you're lucky, you can meet singers such as Bill Anderson or Loretta Lynn down at Buckley's Record Shop on Broadway, but for sure you can see Ernest Tubb and the Texas Troubadors at Ernest's Record Shop after the Opry closes down at midnight. In the midst of all this is Vanderbilt University, id-Tennessee's Duke. Like Duke, it was initially endowed by rob ber, baron money that of railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt. It has all the private school atmosphere of Duke, and Van dy people look down their noses at their rivals in Knox--ville mainly because they are jealous of the Vols' athletic success. For a long time, Vandy couldn't produce an athletic winner in any sport, not even swimming. Commodore fans were happy only when Ten nessee lost, for they never won. But then basketball coach . Roy Skinner came along about five years ago. and changed all that. He recruited 6-9 Clyde Lee, an eventual All-Aiherican, and teamed him with John Ed Miller and Bob Grace to give Vandy a championship team. The Commodores became annual contenders for the Southeastern Confer e n c e crown, which it won in 1965. Skinner has been the win ningest coach in the SEC in the past five years, even topping - Kentucky's Adolph Rupp. Since Vandy wins only in basketball, fans put all their efforts into pulling the team through. When Vandy students aren't cussing football or extolling basketball, they talk about the old days when contemporary writers Robert Pern, Warren and Ralph McGill were there. All this poses a big problem for Carolina. Vandy basketball is here now, and it is very good.

We just have to see to it that they miss some shots." North Carolina is led by 6-4 Larry Miller, the senior AH .'American who has a 27 point scoring average. Joining Brown in the frontcourt are 6-10 junior Rus ty 0ark, and 6-5 sophomore Charlie Scott. Dick Grubar, a 6-4 junior, controls play at guard. - -. . "So far I've liked what I've seen from.' the team,' said Smith. "We're farther along at this stage than we were at the same time last year. "What has been a key is the play of Scott. He has given us speed, scoring and rebounding and, to tell the truth, his pass ing has been better than we expected. We were afraid he might throw a few in the stands but he hasn't." With 34 points to his credit Scott .is the team's third I leading scorer. He has 15 re bounds to trail Clark, who leads with 25. Clark carries an 18 point average into the game. Grubar, the other starter, has a 7.5 average. "The important thing for us," Smith said, "is how well we handle them defensively. Well have to keep a hand in their face all night." 4TH RECORD BREAKING WEEK! COUJttSIA PICTURES Presents : SIDNEY POITl ER JAMES OMITS nmamv "IT gDQn DulJLIU ELGDlTlI" TECHNICOLOR !m Cage Statistics.

C . (UPI) The Atlantic Coast Conference Friday unanimous ly approved a Virginia pro posal to change the method of distribution of football television funds. .The conference's winter meeting here voted to permit the participating AOC team in a televised football game to take $15,000 off the top for home game expenses. The team playing would then get two shares of the remainder and the other seven conference teams would get one share each. Under the previous ar rangement, the participating school got 50 per cent and the rest was divided among the other seven schools. The $15,000 for expenses would not be allowed to ACC teams participating in televis ed games away from home.
