(lone are the days when Bill Russell would rise up
with a superhuman effort and lead the Baston Celtics to
victory in the NBA playoffs.
Today the world is less secure, the future is a little
less predictable.
Today there is no Bill Russell in the finals of
professional basketball. The Boston Celtic's dynasty has
fallen, and two other teams are battling for the glory
which was once exclusive to the Celtics.
It would be difficult to choose a clear-cut favorite in
the race for the NBA crown this year. Both New York
and Los Angeles have assembled outstanding individual
performers, and both teams' records are impressive.
After six playoff games, the Knicks and the Lakers
are deadlocked with three victories apiece. The seventh
game Friday night in New York will decide the
successor to the immortal Celtics.
Two factors will be present in this seventh game
which cloud any attempt to predict the outcome of the
encounter.
factor one involves the home court advantage. New
York's Madison Square Garden can be quite a hostile
atmosphere in which an opposing team must play.
Milwaukee found the Garden to be openly inimical in
earlier playoff games with the Knicks.
The Home Court Factor
Bettors and prognosticators will have to consider the
home court advantage as a strong edge in favor of the
New York club, but a second factor in the deciding
contest may offset the friendly confines of the Garden.
Both clubs have been slowed by injuries to key
personnel, but in the fifth game of the playoff series,
the Knicks were dealt a serious jolt.
Willis Reed, New York's star center and the NBA's
Most Valuable Player, suffered a blow in the fifth match
resulting in strained hip muscles.
Reed was slowed considerably for the remainder of
the game (though the Knicks came from behind to win),
and was sidelined for the entirity of the sixth game.
Without his star big man, New York Coach Red
Holzman was forced to use three players in an attempt
to stop the Lakers' Wilt Chamberlain.
None of the three could curtail the Los Angeles
giant, and Wilt scored 45 points in leading his team to a
135-113 victory over the Knicks. Chamberlain also
pulled down 27 rebounds against the Reedless New
Yorkers. , ....... .
Reed has indicated that he will play Friday night, but
even if he is able to last the full 48 minutes, his play will
certainly suffer due to the injury.
Chamberlain has shown that he can dominate a game
when he feels like playing up to his potential. Will an
injured Reed be able to control Wilt? Can Chamberlain
get himself up for the final game?
Two other questions must be asked. Both probably
merit an affirmative answer.
First, will the Knicks be fired up to "win one for
Willis?" Second, will the Lakers be fired up to "win one
for West?" (Jerry West, one of the games most greatest
players, has yet to win and play for a club which has
won an NBA title.)
Unanswered questions added to offsetting advantages
and disadvantages seem to indicate that Friday's game
will be exciting and suspenseful no matter which team
one supports.
And after all the excitement and suspense settles,
there will be a new NBA champion. My choice as the
Celtics' successors the Los Angeles Lakers

Fight For Second Spot

As Maryland looks down
serenly from its perch atopthe
ACC, four other schools will
battle it out for second in the
conference track meet in
Raleigh, starting at 7:00.
Carolina, Duke, Clemson
and South Carolina are all
prospective runners-up, with
the Heels given the best chance
because of their dominance in
field events.
Unfortunately, Carolina's
strengths coincide with the
Terps' best spots. Shot putter

A ninth inning rally lifted
Carolina's Junior Varsity
baseball team to a 5-4 victory
over Louisburg College
Wednesday night.
Jack Leachman batted in
two runs in the bottom of the
final inning with a one
out-bases loaded single to give
the Tar Heels their sixth
straight win.
Louisburg, champions of
the Cavalier-Tar Heel
Conference with a 17-4 record,
jumped to a 3-0 lead in the
second inning.
Starting pitcher Bill Wardle
walked three men, gave up two
hits, and was further hindered
by a Tar Baby fielding error in
permitting the early Louisburg
scores.
Louisburg added a fourth
run in the fourth inning, an
unearned score off Wardle.
But tight relief pitching by
winning pitcher Steve Groome
(2-1) and a strong attack at the .
plate enabled the Tar Babies to
capture their tenth win of the
season.
Carolina's offensive
explosion burst open in the
fourth frame. George Booth,
Jim Blane, and Wes Hege
singled to load the bases. A
walk to pinch hitter Bob
Lowery brought home one

Branch scored two more runs.
Groome shackled Louisburg
in the remaining five innings on
one hit and two walks. The
righthanded hurler's shutout
pitching allowed the Tar Babies
to enter the final inning behind
only 4-3.
Earlier in the season
Carolina had dropped a 7-5
game to Louisburg. A repeat of
that game was not to take
place Wednesday.
Pinch hitter Ken Thompson
opened the inning with a
single, and Branch followed
with a sacrifice bunt which he
beat out for a single.
Tom Gillis singled to left to
load the bases, then Leachman
added his game winning hit.
The Tar Babies collected 12
hits, two each by Branch,
Gillis, Booth, and Hege. Timely
hitting such as was displayed
Wednesday has brought the JV
squad from behind more than
once this year, leading them to
a highly successful season.

Hubert West, winner of the
WTVD broad jump, is looking
forward to meeting Mike Neff
of Maryland and Jim Shannon
. of Virginia, while the rest of
the conference looks up to
Darryl Kelly, UNC's
undefeated triple jumper.
Terry Sellers, UNC's only
returning conference champ
besides Wilson, will meet's
Duke's Mike Murphy in the
440 plus other contenders. The
Tar Heels, crippled by the loss
of hurdler Dennis Suich and
Mike Canzonieri, will rely on
sprinters, West, Bob Weaver
and Ike Oglesby, improving
hurdler Reid Hilton, half-miler
Kenny Helms, and distance
runner Larry Widgeon.
Maryland should own the
distances with John Baker,
Russ Taintor and Charley
Shrader, and their hurdling
team of Marshall and Marvin
Bush is also tough to catch.
Tyrone Brown and Tony
Greene will carry Maryland's
hopes in the sprint against
Clemson's Josh Collins, Wake
Forest's Jack Dolbin, and
South Carolina's Jim Small.
, State's Gareth Hayes has
been improving his mile times
with each race and appears to
be peaking for the ACC meet,

Yesterday's first round of
the 17th annual Atlantic Coast
Conference tennis tournament
featured two upsets. UNC's
number three singles entry,
second seeded Joe Dom was
upset by South Carolina's
seventh seeded Bill Austin. But
offsetting this setback was the
defeat of Clemson's top ranked
sixth flight player Terry
Wiikins by USCs Barry
Altman, who was the last seed
in that division.
After winning the first set
6-0 Dora faltered to a 6-4 loss
of the second. In the final and
deciding set the senior from
Atlanta held a 5-4 lead over
Austin, but the determined
USC netter took three straight
games and the match.
But other than Dom's
disappointing loss, Coach Don
Skakle's undefeated Tar Heels
showed why they are picked to
bring the ACC tennis
championship back to Chapel
Hill. Captain Lee Langstroth,
determined, intense, and
sporting a black arm band
swept to a 6-1, 6-1 win over
James Hunt of NC State.
In the second flight
freshman and top seeded
Freddie McNair was
surprisingly extended by
Duke's Charles Benedict 6-2r
5- 7 and 6-1. Just last week
McNair had beaten Benedict by
6- 1 and 6-2 scores.
Following Dora's three set
marathon catastrophe Jimmy
Corn posted doubts as to his
number two seeding with a 6-0,
6-2 win over completely
outclassed Bob Brewer of Wake
Forest. Tommorrow's action
should set the stage for a finals
revenge match between Corn
and Clemson's Steve Parsons,
who took their regular season
match in straight sets.
Second seeded Fred
Rawlings kept up the Carolina
sweep with a smashing 6-1, 6-1
victory ,. over. .Wake.-. Forest's .
Grayson Brown. Rawlings and
Corn are also favored to take
the third flight doubles title.

returning
from a brief illness, got reer.;e
for a regular season default by
breezing by Duke's Blair
Sanders 6-1. 6-1. With the
defeat of Wiikins, Lassiter is
now the favorite to take the
sixth flight championship.
Coach Skakle was. pleased
with the play of his singles
players, but he commented
that Virginia also won five of
their first six matches
Thursday. With the surprisingly
strong UVa entry the team
battle seems to be between
USC, Virginia, and defending
champ Clemson.

It is no fault of Eddie Hill's
that six games separate
Carolina from the league lead
in Atlantic Coast Conference
baseball.
While the Tar Heels have
failed to successfully defend
their ACC pennant, handyman
Hill has been enjoying a
brilliant season.
The UNC senior ranks
second in the league in batting
average and pitching victories
and third in earned run
average.
The only thing he hasn't
done with supreme efficiency
is sell peanuts and he hasn't
tried that yet.
Hill carried a .413 batting
mark into this week's play. He
went hitless Tuesday in a
doubleheader with N.C. State,
which dropped his figure to
.388.
The Tar Heel first baseman
trailed Maryland's Dave Suave,
who was swinging at a .430
pace as the week began.

With a 4-0 record on the
mound and a sensational 0.93
ERA, Hill was actually the
ranking hurler in the league,
statistically.
Although he suffered his
first defeat against State, the
slim righthander still placed
second behind Clemson's Dave
Van Volkenburg (5-0) in wins.
And his ERA was surpasedy
only by a trio of hurlers with
the microscopic figures of 0.34
and 0.68. Clemson's Jay Be. is
was the leader. -
There were no new races
along the league's top five
batsmen, but three newcomers
crept into the top ten.
Hill's total of 31 hits ranked
him fourth in that department
and his five home runs earned
him fifth spot among the ACC
sluggers.
Righthander Gene Hise'r of
Maryland had driven in 31;runs
to outdistance the closest
competition by eight.
