Prints . . .
By Oicen Davis
While the major leagues sip grapefruit and cactus juice
at various spring training sites in Florida, C alifornia and
Arizona, and college basketball teams play regular
season games, pitcher David Lemonds attends classes at
Carolina.
Lemonds, who signed with the Chicago Cubs for an
S80,000 bonus last June after his sophomore season at
Chapel Hill, does not have a team at the moment.
He can't join the pros, because the military draft will
grab him. But college baseball is out, too, since he
pitched in the minor leagues last summer.
Lemonds, College Player of the Year in 1968, is like a
man without a country. He's a twirler without a team, a
southpaw without a squad.
It's not that nobody wants him. Every big league club
from San Diego to Montreal and all the sandlots in
between would like Lemonds starting on the mound
every fourth day.
But the guys in olive drab, who fire bullets istead of
baseballs, have priority over everyone, even the big
business New York Yankees in pinstripes.
And Lemonds' local draft board in Charlotte
wouldn't dare let a prize grenade-thrower escape
without a struggle.
So Lemonds, looking like any other student except
his wallet is thicker, listens to lectures on history instead
of the hummer.
But the blue-eyed, blonde, who has the handsome
features and casual air of a guy who knows he will make
it, will soon be back on the diamond again.
He will be pitching for the Raleigh-Durham Phillies in
the Carolinas League when the season begins April 16.
"I'm on lease with the Phillies until the end of
school," said Lemonds Tuesday. He was smacking a ball
in his big, leather glove, looking for someone to throw
to while his old UNC teammates worked out in the wet
in Kenan Stadium.
"I'm on my own right now. I'm supposed to use my
own judgment about getting into shape."
But Lemonds doesn't feel like a doorstep bonus baby
whose parents have left him.
"Pitching here will help me, it's great," he said.
"Otherwise I would have wasted more than a month and
not pitched. The best thing for me is to play against
people, to go against competition in a game situation."
Lemonds will

Thincladg Defeat Clemsom
Carolina opened its outdoor
track season on the road
against Clemson last Saturday
and won a narrow 75-70
victory.
Coach Joe Hilton's thinclads
captured firsts in 10 of 17
events, but Clemson took
enough seconds and thirds to
make the overall score close.
Tar Heel standouts of the
indoor campaign were
mainstays again last weekend.
Miler Kenny Helms, 440
runner Terry Sellers, broad
jumper Tom -blfe, pole
vaulter Rick Wilson and shot
putter John Jessup all annexed
victories as they had been
accustomed to doing.
UNC's 440 relay team swept
home in 41.9 to win the day's
opening competition and give
the Tar Heels a point lead they
never relinquished.
Then Helms edged out
Clemson's Furst and Lowry in
the mile and Carolina had a
10-4 . advantage. Helms was
clocked in 4:18.
Dennis Suich and Cam Beck
trailed the Tigers' Taylor in the
high hurdles, but Sellers came
back to take the 410 with a
clocking of 49.7.
Clemson's Josh Collins
sprinted the 100 in 9.8 and
nosed out Tar Heel Mike
Canzonieri
Alex Covington took second
in the 880 for UNC, and Kent
Autry was third.
The Tar Heels went up
33-26 in the team standings
when Cam Beck did the 440
hurdles in 55.6. Canzonieri
followed by turning the 220 in
22.2.
Carolina built its point
margin further as the mile relay
team of Richard Smith, Don
Wheless, Doug Pryor and Terry
Sellers denied Clemson points
in that competition.

Tar Heels Set 3 School Record,
In Winning Third Eastern
Title
North Carolina's Tar Heels,
champions of Eastern
basketball for the third
consecutive year, set three new
school records in the season
just concluded.
Bill Bunting, the fine senior
forward from New Bern, N.C.,
came up with the only new
individual record, hitting 59.8
percent of his field goal
attempts to become the best
marksman in Tar Heel history.
He connected on 217 of 363
shots.
Bunting easily topped the
old field goal percentage mark
be at all Raigh-Durham home games - of 55.9 set by Donnie Walsh in
1962.
As a team, the Tar Heels set

After the school year, he will probably pitch again for
San Antonio in the Texas League, although he says, "I
could go higher."

It's something that doesn't come with you. You have to
learn it and think more about what you're doing on the
mound."
Besides missing the warm sunshine and rookie life in
training campus, Lemonds has also not thrown under
the new baseball rules, which are aimed to curtail the
overpowering effectiveness of the pitcher.
The mound has been lowered 10 inches and the strike
zone reduced.
But Lemonds merely shrugs. He wouldn't flinch if he
faced Henry Aaron with the bases loaded and all his
teammates were taking a mid-day siesta in the outfield.
"The lower mound might actually help me since my

new records for most points
scored in a season and highest
scoring average. Carolina tallied
2,844 points, topping the 1968
mark of 2,680. And this year's
scoring average 88.9 points a
game easily topped the old
mark of 83.7 set in 1968.
Despite two disappointing
setbacks in the National Finals
at Louisville, Carolina finished
with an outstanding record of
27-5. This brought the Tar
Heels' three year total to 81
victories and only 15 losses.
Only three-time National
Champion UCLA can . boast a
better three-year record. r
Five seniors who played the
major role in compiling ,that
record are Rusty Clark of
Fayetteville, N.C., Bunting,
Dick Grubar of Schenectady,
N.Y., Gerald Tuttle of London,
Ky., and Joe Brown of

No other station wagon
can carry this tune.
If the Big Bands ever come back, they just might
do it in a Volkswagen Station Wagon.
After all, what other wagon could take on 9
guys, instruments and 15 pieces cf luggage at the
same time?
What ether wagon could do ell that while
averaging 23 miles to the gallon and using pints
of oil instead cf quarts?
Where else could a piano player (with his
piano end without the rest of the band) fit through
a side door?
Or how about the bass giving cut with a great
big Blues number through a great bg hole in the
roof?
Then there's the winter circuit. (The VW is the
only wagon around with rear engine traction and
an engine that doesn"f dig antifreeze nohow.)
