THE DAILY TAR HEEL
Yell
"Robbery" As
Dukes
By RUSTY CARTER
DTH Sports Writer
COLL E 0 E PARK,
Md.-From the cast side of
Colo Field House ...
"Duquesne got robbed, we
were cheated."
"Let's have another Civil
War."
"Once those red necks come
up here, refs don't know what
the North is."
From the west side of Cole
Field House ...
"Damn, the Heels scared the
hell out of me."
"Well, I'm glad it was close
since I drove 300 miles to see
it."
"Another typical Carolina
showing . . . just good enough
to win ... but they'll play
better Saturday or Davidson
will gb to Louisville."
The immediate reactions
that rang out ovei a crowd of
basketball enthusiasts
Thursday night as the first
round of the Eastern Regionals
ended were varied and to say
the least, some were high
tempered.
Carolina fans breathed a sigh
or relief as they complained
about the Heels' performance,
while the Duquesne crowd
shouted anything they could
think of in disgust.
They couldn't believe it.
The Dukes had made an
amazing, championship rally
against the second ranked Tar
Heels but fell one point short.
Therefore all they could find
to blame was the officiating.
A red-faced fat man with a
turtle neck up to his ears issued
the most widely felt complaint.
He screa
microphone
lined toward the
as the p.a.
announcer tried to give a final
game wrap up: "Duquesne was
robbed."
His long haired son,
apparently a Duquesne
student, hac; to act "just like
daddy" so he too blasted off.
"Yea, robbed; that's it pop, we
were robbed ... ROBBERS,
YOU BUNCH OF ROBBERS."
A dejected Duquesne
cheerleader horsely added his
defeat chetjr with, "Carolina
makes me sick."
But to top things off, a
Duquesne student summed up
the Carolina performance. He
turned to his friend who had
tripped and nearly fell and
smirked. "You walk about as
well as Carolina can play
basketball."
But the robbed accusation is
the primary question.
Let's explore the
background ...
Duquesne played a sporadic
game but when they were good
they were extra special. They
hit early and took a" lead over
the Heels, but as their hot
hands cooled, the experienced
UNC team roared back.
Scott's marksmanship
engineered a UNC sprint in the
opening period, erasing a seven
point deficit, the Heels
marched to a seven point half
time advantage.
Many faas, including those
from Duquesne, saw a runaway
in the making, and it probably
should have come.
Yet, the Heels weren't to
out do themselves. They upped
their lead to 14 points while
the Dukes couldn't keep up the
pace. But then UNC decided to
coast to its firstround
championship.
The early slowdown
however was justified. Carolina
was missing its top defensive
man in Grubar; the ACC's most
accurate shooter Bunting has
just fouled out after hitting six
of eight. Brown was cold from
the bench; and Clark was
tiring.
The Heels chose to slow
things down a bit and they did
on their end of the score.
They lost their tempo and
nearly their scalps when they
shifted into the "four corners"
with nearly 12 minutes
remaining.
They couldn't turn the
steam back on once the hot
shooting Dukes cut their lead
by eight points with four
minutes remaining.
Carolina was playing terribly
and the Dukes like champions.
This led to the question of
"robbery."
Duquesne scored four in a
row to cut the UNC lead to
only' one with 30 seconds left.
Everyone panicked exepet
Eddie Fogler and Lee Dedmon.
Duquesne's Garry Nelson
thought different as he crashed
his 6-10 hulk into Dedmon and
the basket during Dedmon V
lay up.
All 6-10 of UNC's skinny
sophomore star sprawled to the
floor and the Nelson arm
grabbed basket, net, backboard
and everything else around the
hoop.
Yet, the Duke rooters

couldn't comprehend a
goal-tending and foul call as
Dedmon crept from the floor
and the backboard swayed
back and forth.
This they thought was
"robbery."
Duquesne scored from the
outside to cut it back to one
before a Scott to Dedmon pass
made it 79-76.
Then came the second phase
of the "theft."
A 30-footer swished for
Duquesne and Carolina had the
ball with four seconds
remaining and had five seconds
to get it in play logically the
Heels had won.
The horn sounded leaving
one second on the clock for a
moment and the Duquesne
fans thought they should get
the bali again.
Well, the officials saw it
different. The game was over
and Carolina had won. To the
Dukes, a robbery.
The victorious Heels left the
court with their heads low.
The Dukes were violent.
They had made a
championship comeback but
did't even get to the
championship finals. A robbery
w as all they could imagine.
But did they even remember
Grubar 's knee, Bunting's 12
minutes on the bench, Scott's
complete reversal of
performance in the second
half, or the overall poor play of
the coasting Heels?
True, the Dukes had played
a great finale of basketball.
They were nearly presented a
gift by the Heels but how
could thev say they were
robbed?
To come so close and then
see it all be run off in the last
four seconds was too much for
the sports activists. Robbery
was their only outlet, because
they surely couldn't complain
about the Dukes' performance.
Two of the additional
statements flowing over the
field house however have a bit
of truth as well as logical:
support.
1) Carolina did play about as
well as the stumbling Duquesne
student could walk.
2) And there is little doubt
that, "Well play better this
afternoon or Davidson will
coast to the bright lights of
Ix)uisville."

Stickers Looking For Experience
To. Give "Little Better Season
By ANDY SCHORR
Special to the DTH
The question asked most
around the lacrosse field these
days is whether or not this
year's team can benefit from
last year's experience and the
addition of 1 3 new players to
surpass last season 7-4 record.
Fred Mueller, new head
coach, thinks the team is in
better shape this year. "We lost
three good seniors last year but
most of our regulars are back
and have improved since last
season. Some talented
freshmen will be helping us out
too."
Coach Mueller admitted it is
difficult to improve on last
year's team which placed 15th
in the nation and won an
award for being the most
improved team in the country.
But he and Assistant Coach
Jeff ParKcr believe the 1969
stickmen could be a little bit
better than last year's if they
played with "finesse".
"Goalie Pete Kramer,
Attackman Harper Peterson,
Defenseman John MacCorkle
made All-America last season
and they are all back this year.
We have been practicing for
two months already and by our
first game this Tuesday against
Ohio Wesleyan we should be in
top physical condition."
To facilitate more poise in
the play of the team Mueller
always has the same three
midfielders play together on
the field.
Midfielders are the three
players on each team who
cover the middle of the field
playing both offensively and
defensively.
Mueller designated the
probable starting midfield as
Temple Grassi, Co-captain
Geof Perry and John
MacNaughton. The second
midfield unit will most likely
be Bill Brooks, Will Verho'eff
and Peter Brand. The third will
be Steve Fuller, Chris Kiersted
and George Browne.
"We have some good talent
in our attackmen," said
Mueller, "and returning players
Harper Peterson, Pete Aitkin,
Mid-fielder Geofrey Perry and Rav Seipp and Tom Heard will
be helped this season by
Freshman Mike Tiernan."
The coach thinks the
stickments defense should be
R
strong with almost any three of
defen semen John
Gussenhouen, John MacCorkle,
Art Tucker, John Hamachek or
Percy Ransome plus Freshman
Paul Truesdell.
First string All-American
goalie list year Pete Kramer
says he is looking forward to
an even better season this year.
Mueller mentioned that the Tar
Heels also have able back-up
goalie hob Manekin on the
squad this year.
Co-Captains Geof Perry and
John MacCorkle have been
pushing the team hard in
practices since January.
Mueller believes the team is
in good shape and has high
morale. .
"We have an advantage over
northern teams in that the
snow melts sooner here and we
much practice out on
the field. Some of the teams
we play soon are just getting
outside now," said Mueller.

All-American lacrosse player at
Carolina a few years ago thinks
the team ought to do well this
year. "We have greater depth
this year, more experience,
more poise and better physical
condition," he said. "What we
need now is support from the
student body."
No scholarships are given to
lacrosse players at Carolina to
get them to play here. The
team is mostly made up of
students who played at
northern prep schools.
Although larcrosse is not yet
a major sport at Carolina the
team plays schools like
Maryland where it is.
AH but two of the teams
games are in Chapel Hill. The
team opens its season on
Fetzer Field Tuesday at 3 p.m.
against Ohio Wesleyan, a team
it has never played before and
knows little about.

COLLEGE PARK,
Md. Roy Lester, a highly
successful high school football
coach of a Washington (D.C.)
suburban area, was named the
new head football Coach at the
University of Maryland Friday.
Lester will leave Richard
Montgomery -High School of
Rockville, Md., to take over
the job vacated by the
resignation of Bob Ward last
I week. The announcement was
I made at a noon press
conference by Athletic
Director designate Jim Kehoe.
At Montgomery High,
Lester's gridders had compiled
a 25-game winning streak to
' date.
i Lester received the job over
hundreds of applicants,
including the often-speculated
' names of former two pro grid
-greats ex-Green Bay; Packer
'running back Paul Hornung
land former coach and general
.manager of the Washington
Redskins, Otto Graham. The
I terms of Lester's pact were not
announced.
; Lester steps into an ugly
situation at Maryland, where
the football squad voted to
boycott spring practices under
Coach Ward for still
unannounced reasons,
speculated to center around
Ward's hard-driving coaching
methods.
; Ward, a former All-American
lineman for the Terrpains, had
been football coach for two
years at his alma mater,
compiling a 2-17 record. The
1967 Maryland eleven failed to
win a single game, the only
winless season in the school's
history.
Ward resigned last week
under pressure from his players
and alumni.
The Maryland basketball
coach, Frank Fellows also with
two years of service at his old
school, is also on the way out
after two unsatisfactory
seasons as the head cage boss.
Kehoe said a successor to
Fellows is still being sought.
ANNVILLE, PA. (UPI) - It
was a weekend to remember at
.Lebanon Valley College for jazz
aficionados.
More than 900 alumni of the
college's Music Department were
invited to return to their Alma
Mater recently for a "Clinic on
Jazz." The music fraternity, Phi
Mu Alpha, Sinfonia, presented
its annual jazz concert, aug
mented by 1951 alumnus Walt
Levinsky, noted clarinetist, sax
ophonist, arranger, conductor
and composer.
