For Cross Country Team

Reconstruction Goes On For Bill Do oley

fortunes are looking up this
season. And considering the
Tar Heel harriers only lost two
meets last fall, the outcome
promises to be what Coach Joe
Hilton calls "a very strong"
campaign.
"We will basically have the
same team returning," Hilton
says, "and with the addition of
some rising sophomores and
several strong freshmen, we
should be much improved." '
The only losses off last
year's squad are Mike Williams
and Bill Bassett Both were
known primarily for their track
accomplishments and did not
"contribute that much" to the
cross country program.
As a result, Hilton is very
optimistic about his harriers
and the upcoming season.
Co-captain Truett Goodwin
will undoubtedly run in the
first position when the season
opens at South Carolina . on
Sept. 30. Goodwin, a senior
and track letterman, placed
fifith in the ACC conference
meet last fall.
Junior Kenny Helms will
probably run second position
for Hilton. Helms, a "strong
runner," finished fourth, just
ahead of Goodwin in the
conference competition.
Co-capt. Wayne Franklin,
Coach Hilton's "most
V
. -
"1 team considerably.
umers wno ngure
prominantly in Hilton's plans
are Junior Charles Markman
and sophomores Clayton
Lynch, Alex Covington and
Bill lather .
Under the new NCAA ruling
that freshmen may compete on
varsity teams, Hilton plans to
have several freshmen work out
with both the varsity and J.V.
squads.
Larry Widgeon of Norfolk,
Va., Bruce Hafemeister of
Glassboro, N.J., and Mark
Gibson of Mobile Ala. are the
three freshman that Hilton
feels are "very capable of
helping the varsity." '
JOE HILTON
improved runner," will hold
down the third position.
According to Hilton, Franklin
had 4very little running in high
school and has progressed
greatly since his freshman
year." x
The reason for this year's
improvement seems to rest in
the next two positions.
Running fourth and fifth for
the Tar Heel harriers this
season most likely will be Joe
Lashick and Steve Williams.
Lashick and Williams, both
seniors, did not run last year
but are expected to regain their
sophomore ,form and help the
"Goodwin, Helms and
Franklin are definitely the
strength of the team," says
Hilton. "They have returned to
school in excellent shape and.
seem to be in great spirits for
the season. :
"Together with the other
returning lettermen and the
freshmen, we feel this will give
us a - very much improved
team."
To improve on a 5-2 record
is to look for an undefeated
season and cross country coach
Joe Hilton feels his harriers
have one within their grasp.

playing under our system," he
said. "These are guys like Mike
Smith and Gayle Bomar.
"Plus weVe got a bunch of
good ones coming off the
freshman team." -
Dooley looks -for the Tar
Heels to be better in "kicking,
running offense, and rushing
and pass defense. :
"We will have an overall
improvement, and we really
need one," he said, which is no
understatement after a 2-8
record last year.
Carolina is rated a
p re-season favorite in only
three .of its 10 games, ..and
Dooley doesn't overlook ' his
underdog role.
"Well have to fight extra
hard to win and overcome our
depth and experience
problems," he said. "The only
way we can make a mistake is
at full-speed. That's the only
way to cover it up. :
"But we won't back off
from anybody. In fact, well be
the aggressor." -
Where is Carolina strong,
and flabby?
Tar Heel strength begins in
the backfidd. Quarterback
Gayle Bomar totaled over
1,400 yards last season, while
the rest of the team gained just
over 1,200.
Bomar ranked second in
total offense in the" Atlantic
Coast Conference and would
have done better had his
blocking not broken down for
193 yards in losses.
When Dempsey is healthy,
the rest of the backfield looks
very good inside. Don
McCauley, Saulis Zemaitis and
Dick Wesolowski are all tough
through the line, but none can
break loose outside.
The offensive line will be
much better if no one is
injured. Behind the starters lies
only inexperience.
Both guard Ed Chahipka
and tackle Mike Richey (6-4,
2 4 0) are pre-season
all-conference choices.
- Dooley especially . beams
about Canadian Chalupka, a
junior.
"Chalupka is a real quick
blocker," said Dooley. . "He
stays on people, and he's got
the things you're looking for in
an offensive lineman."
Carolina's receivers are
questionable now since split
end Davis is injured, None of
his replacements have caught
over two passes in game
competition.
Except for linebacker, the
Heels are not particularly
strong on defense.
Carolina allowed an average
of over 200 yards a game on
the ground last year, which
indicates that rushing defense
was less than spectacular.
Opponents may decide to
throw a great deal anyway,
because with the departure of
Griffith, safety Ken Price is the
only solid starter in the
defensive secondary.
Linebackers Bob Hanna and
Mark Mazza however, should
both plug many gaps and turn
long runs into short gainers.
The Tar Heels have
something, too, which was not
always present last year. That
is, a healthy team attitude.
Not every player, as is
natural, liked Dooley's
coaching philosophy during his
first year and some rebelled at
the new system.
This did not make for a
cohesive squad, especially one
that was amidst a seven-game
losing streak.
But the adjustments to the
new system have come, and
Dooley plainly sees it himself.
"The attitude of the whole
team is a lot better than last
year," he said. "The players
now see what we're trying to
do, and that is to make them
better football players, to win
and make them better people
off the field.
"Before they may have
thought that we were asking
things of them just to benefit
ourselves. They now see what
it takes to win and want to do
it We don't do things for
punishment but to make
better players and people."
It may be a year in which
attitude and mental willpower
take Carolina through the
season.
With three starters missing
for the season's opener, the
already-thin Tar Heels are
fragile. Lack of depth may not
be obvious in the early games,
but by the last three (Virginia,
Q em son and Duke) it will be
crucial.
Injuries will have taken even
more players out of action
after seven games, and near to
end of the season Carolina may
have to play some people on
both offense and defense, and
some that are hurting.
And that is where attitude
can mean the difference.
Dooley is counting on this
being the last season in which
Carolina has few troops. While
he must cope with the present,
his smiles come most easily
when pointed toward the
future.
"We're on our timetable,"
he said. "We had a good
recruiting season and we have
to have another one next year.
'We know we can get
winning, representative
football here at Carolina,
"The only bad thing is that
it takes time we can't do it
overnight."
And so the building
continues, as Dooley the
architect maps his plans.
A
H
ero Of 1948 Olympics
Is Serving Prison Team
By J. PAUL WYATT
MEXICO CITY
(UPI)-Mexico's hero of the
1948 Olympics will be
spending the 1968 Games in a
cell at Lecumberri Prison.
Quick-tempered Gen.
Humberto Mariles, who won
Mexico's first Olympic gold
medal in history, is serving a
20-year sentence for the
slaying of a construction
worker.
Mariles was mobbed by
admiring countrymen when he
returned from London with
the gold medal after finishing
first in a field of 15 of the
world's top horsemen in the
difficult show jumping event
All that changed abruptly
on the rainy night of Aug. 14,
1964, when Mariles was driving
his sedan through Chapultepec
Park in Mexico City.
Suddenly another car cut
him off, forcing him to slam on
his brakes. Shaken and
enraged, Mariles pursued the
other car about five blocks to a
construction site where the
other driver, Jesus Velazquez,
worked.
Mariles demanded an
apology. Words were
exchanged. A crowd gathered.
When Velazquez derisively
turned his back, it was too
much for the proud Mariles. He
produced a 38 caliber service
pistol and emptied it into
Velasquez.
Now shocked by what he
had done, Mariles quickly put
the other man into his car and
'drove to the nearby Red Cross
Hospital. There police told him
he was under arrest
Finally, assured that he
would be able to get off with a
light ' sentence and anxious to
redeem ' himself before the
Mexican public, he returned to
Mexico City and gave himself
up.
Soon. Mariles discovered
that he no longer was idolized
by the Mexican people. A
general clamor for justice
arose, especially after it was
learned that Velaszquez left a
widow and seven children.
After a trial that dragged on
for more than a year, the court
found Mariles guilty of "simple
intentional homicide" and
, sentenced him to 10 years in
prison. Later, when Mariles'
lawyers appealed, another
court raised the sentence to 20
years. Mariles is still fighting.
