Some people say that Saulis
Zemaitis hasn't lived up to his
potential, but actually he isn't
A little old lady stood behind a group of men in line
Sunday at a noontime buffet in Greensboro and
whispered to a counterpart. "Look at all these
gentlemen. Must be some church group."
It was a bad guess. Several turtlenecks. typewriters
and towering young men contrasted the group from a
Sunday morning Bible class.
Instead it was a collection of basketball players,
coaches and writers gathered for the Atlantic C oast
Conference-sponsored "Operation Basketball," a
pre-season interview session.
Writers and players met first, and Duke guard Dave
Golden sat down early. There was glib Golden in his
three-piece suit, making a favorable impression with his
candid comments.
"Boy we had no speed at all last year." he said.
"And now without Lewis our guys don't hit the boards
as well as they should."
We had heard that Golden has a tough reputation
but conversation proved otherwise.
"What did you do this summer Dave," someone
asked.
"I picked up garbage," he said. "It was a good job- I
got to work outside. But it was smelly."
Carolina center Rusty Clark came next. Clark, a
zoology major, announced that he wants to become a
doctor.
But Rusty, what about the pros?
"Basketball is just a game," he said. "1 enjoy it, but
I'm not really serious about professional basketbal."
"Some killer ain't he," someone commented. "That
guy could be making the big money shooting hoops and
he gets a backache looking through a microscope
instead."
Joe Serdich .and Dick Braucher, N. C. State
forwards, followed Clark.
You boys prc-Med too?
"Don't ask Dick and me what we're majoring in,"
answered Serdich.
Finally there was Maryland guard Pete Johnson.
Johnson, the only Negro present, was nervous.
He held his hands together formally in his lap, stared to blame.

much for him to talk about, at least anything positive.
Maryland's center is just 6-7, the Terps shot only
38.9 percent from the floor in 1967 and 15 of their
games are on the road despite having the largest arena in
the conference. And Maryland was 1-13 away from
home last season.
'Johnson quietly, said the team should go to him
more for points since he averaged 15 a game, but he
didn't like to discuss himself.

Johnson was no apologizer, but he was sensitive to predicted greatness for the
the derogatory remarks made about his team, predicted
to finish last in the conference this year.
And for Johnson, it's been a whole life of sensitivity
and missing the headlines.
Brought up just outside Washington, D. C, in Seat
Pleasant, Md., Johnson was one of those kids who
played basketball all year. He was small, but he could
still shovel the snow off the neighborhod court in the
cold winter, which he did often.
At Fairmont High School he was a good shooter and
passer, and he was quick. Scholarship offers came from
Wake Forest and West Virginia among others, but being
the shy person he is, Johnson chose Maryland because it
was close to home.
The transition to a big state university was like
entering a strange new world. Now everybody was white
and had money instead of black and wondering where
the next dollar was coming from
His sophomore year the Terps flew about a dozen
times to their game sites, and Johnson had never been
on an airplane before.
At first he didn't know whether he could like a life
of traveling through the air, suspended in space with lots
of room to fall.
It was far different from those backyard basketball
games, the comforts of home, the feeling that you
always had somebody around to take care of you.
But Johnson stuck it out because he was a
basketball player and wanted to coach, or at least he
thought he did until he saw what the job entails.

In Soccer Team's 5-0 Loss To MSU Monday
Saulis Zemaitis Is Ready

To Show True Potential
Bv RUSTY CARTER
DTH Sports Writer
"We played well but we
were beaten by a better team."
That was Coach Marvin
Allen's reaction Monday
afternoon to the Tar Heels
soccer team's 5-0 loss to
Michigan State in the first
round of the NCAA playoffs.
The UNC booters, in their
first tournament play ever,
gave a championship effort in -hustle
but simply could not
match the superior skill
displayed by the defending
NCAA national co-champions.
The shot totals represented
the trend of the contest. UNC
took six shots opposed to
Michigan's 37.
A slippery Fetzer Field
hindered the play of both
teams as the muddy booters
missed kicks, slipped to the
turf and only got their attacks
organized in spurts.
Akron University Coach Stu
Parry, whose team will face
MSU Saturday, viewed the
contest at Fetzer and told the
story.
"Carolina hustled and
played their best but Michigan
State was decidedly better
today. When they get their
machine going they can't be
stopped!"
The machine was muddy
and wet but managed to fire up
at intervals, leaving the Heels
behind.
When opportunities came
Kreft the other two.
The opening quarter found
the Heels even with the quick
Spartan soccerman until 17:58.
Then Keyes delivered the
opening punch. After a brief
mixup the Heel defenders,
UNC goalie Urn Haigh had to
go outside to take up slack.
Keyes promply booted the ball
by him.
The Jamaican made it 2-0
early in he second period after
a frustrating scramble in front
of the UNC goal. Several shots
were blocked and many shins
kicked before Keyes took
control and booted it in.
The Heels were still in it at
the start of the third quarter
but Kreft took over where
Keyes had stopped and crushed
the Heels.
His first tally came at 7:01
after an assist by Frank Mo rant
on the left side of the net.
Kreft skillfully booted the ball
about 20 yards past UNC
goalie, Haigh.
His second score at 21:32
was unassisted.
Coach Gene Kenney,
Michigan State mentor, praised
the Heels' effort.
"They really played well
and never quit," he said. "Marv
(Coach Allen) has done a great
job and you have a lot to be
proud of here at Carolina."
He also spoke highly of the
play of UNC's Haigh.
"He is really tremendous
being the outstanding back
that he may be before leaving
Carolina.
The 5-9, 195-pound junior
appeared headed for superb
seasons in both freshman and
sophomore years only to have
frustrating injuries turn, them
into mediocre campaigns.
A hairline heel fracture put
him out for most of his
brown-haired Canadian
When Bill Dooley took over
the following year Zemaitis
against Clemson Saturday, in
which he gained 91 yards in 19
carries, has been called his best
effort to date, but he may
disagree.
"1 don't think you can base
a good game on just statistics,"
he said Monday. "Everyone
says a good game is gaining a
lot of yards, but I think it's
when you run well but also feel
good while blocking, too.
"Yardage wise, Saturday
was my best performance, but
I'd have to say that in last
year's Maryland game
everything fell into place."
Up until Saturday Zemaitis
had been plagued by bad
breaks and fumble-itis.
But his performance iii
Death Valley proved hat he
has cast away the bad breaks
and, hopefully, the injuries and
is ready to become the back
that everyone said he would
be.
"There isn't much left to
this season," he said, "but I'm
confident we will end on a
good note. Next year will be
different."
Asked if he thought the Tar
Heels were down at all,
Zemaitis simply said, "Look
around," referring to the high
spirited atmosphere of the
Carolina lockerroom.
"I don't think we've been

came. Alert Spartan defenders 9mmmmmmamm
cleared the ball up field
whenever the Heels penetrated,
sending Carolina once again in
pursuit of the speedy Spartan
offense.
The Heels, who were used
to seeing the ball on their end of
the field, saw things just the
opposite Monday. Michigan
controlled everywhere.
Tony Keyes, a senior from
Jamaica, and Tom Kreft from
St. Louis, Mo., delivered the
scoring blows to Carolina.
Keyes struck for three of
the five Spartan goals and
