Thursday, September 24, 1970 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Center Of Attention Inside The ACCs Ib Movie tate In Trouble On Hicks Stars by Ken TiHey Special to the DTI I Carolina's football coaches spend a great deal of their time watching movies. The films feature the Tar Heels in action. While it is doubtful that any of the performers viewed on the screen will win an Academy Award, the coaches find ample reason to praise the "actors." One such star of Carolina's two opening victories is Keith Hicks, the Tar Heels' rugged offensive center. UNC coaches hope that he will continue to score well in the movie ratings when Carolina travels to Maryland to face the Terrapins Saturday. Against N.C. State last Saturday, Hicks was faced with one of the greatest challenges of his career. It was his responsibility to stop the rush of the Wolfpack s outstanding middle guard George Smith, a pre-season all-conference lineman. Tar Heel Coach Bill Dooley notes that in last year's loss to State, "Smith broke through our offesive line so many times that we thought he was a fifth man in our backfield. But this year Keith and our offensive guards kept Smith from wrecking us as he had done in the past." Hicks prepared well for the encounter with the Wolfpack. "I really psyched myself up for the State game," he says. "It was a personal challenge and was the first time I had faced Smith. (Ron) Grzybowski and (Jim) Hambacher gave me a lot of help. We double-teamed Smith frequently, and it seemed to wear him down." Carolina's two initial victories are very satisfying to Hicks, but the senior lineman from Fairfax, Va., is not resting on past successes. "All the seniors will be particularly fired up for Maryland," he forecasts. "We still have a bad taste from the game with them our sophomore year (a 33-24 defeat which ended a 16-game Maryland losing streak). We want this one real bad." Another important game for Hicks will be the contest with South Carolina. "I was born there, and still have relatives in the state. They really gave me a hard time when we lost last year. I can't wait to play them this year," he continues with a smile crossing his face. "A victory over South Carolina will be sweeter because of my personal motives." The 6-0, 2 1 5-pound anchor man of the Tar Heel offensive line is not going to overlook the other teams on the Carolina schedule, however. "Football is a crazy , game so much of it is emotional," he observes. "We can't take any team too" lightly." . e o ' " ',r ; '"aSjj" O O 0 O O O O O O O O C'V'''' vmi s Actual sizc-Hx 1" YOUR PHOTO ON 100 STAMPS ONLY $1.

Sophomore Hicks" Pat Grady of Medford, N.J. .number two man last season, is also back. Hilton says the summer improvement of junior Zack Osborne of Greensboro, N.C. is another plus factor for the Tar Heels. Hilton also is hoping for good showings from David Collins, Bill Harwood and Bruce Hafemeister.

That's right, The Louvre Car and Body Shop, Hven though Coach Bill Dooley and his Tar Heels refuse lo belittle their upcoming skirmish with Maryland, a battle being waged only a cow pasture or two from Chapel Hill will grab the spotlight as the Atlantic Coast Conference's game-of-the-week. The high-riding South Carolina Gamecocks will be at Carter Stadium ready to play Saturday aftemoon-and if State doesn't look out. the Wolfpack could find themselves holding a miserable 0-3 record by Saturday night. Prospects for Earle Edward's chargers are just that discouraging. State has had an almost impossible time lighting up the scoreboard, and in the first two games has compiled a total of six points. The Wolfpack defense, at the same time, has allowed the opposition 40 points. Last week against the Tar Heels, State totalled 133 offensive yards, a paltry 1 1 of which came on the ground. For a coach who has always stressed a strong ground attack and an imposing defense, these overly-hot September days have become almost unbearable. To make matters worse for Edwards and his State squad, their opening game conquerers, " the Richmond Spiders, suffered humiliating defeat at the hands of West Virginia last week, 49-10. State could manage only six points against this same Richmond team. Now the Wolfpack are forced to take this unusually meager record into battle with what may be the strongest team in the ACC. After losing a squeaker to Georgia Tech in their first outing this year, the Gamecocks rebounded with a convincing 43-7 win over hapless Wake Forest.

If State is able to come out of Saturday's game with a victory. Edwards should be too stunned to consider anything. Duke Tries Again At Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, the Blue Devils will be out to prove last week's game with Maryland was no indication of their true strength. The Blue Devils appeared to be shaping up as a contender for the conference title after narrowly losing to Florida 21-19 in their first game of the season. Last week, Duke threatened to crumble and had to come up with a dramatic, last second field goal to edge Maryland. Duke was totally ineffective on the ground against Maryland, picking up only 104 yards. Virginia, meanwhile, has come through with two respectable performances, topping Virginia Tech and losing a tough battle to Clemson. The Cavaliers are having trouble in their defensive secondary, however, which is developing as their biggest problem spot. Virginia's defensive line, headed by Randy Lestyk, will be much too tough for the Blue Devils to be effective on the ground. Duke will therefore undoubtedly play a passing game and, if Leo Hart is on target, could regain the spark which was lost sometime during the week between the" Florida and Maryland games.

Speaking at his weekly prc.N luncheon after enio nig a thick, juicy rib-eye steak. Dooley said the Tar Heels are taking the Terrapins very seriously. "On any gien Saturday." Dooley said. "Maryland can whip anyone on their schedule. At any rate they improed from their showing against Villanova to their showing against Duke, they could be very tough." With Rusty Culbreth sidelined for the rest of the year because of a knee injury. Dooley 's words take on additional meaning. Maryland is a good passing team, with quarterback Jeff Shugars often looking to tailback Art Seymore for passes down the middle. Seymore led the Terrapins' freshmen squad last year with 282 yards rushing and a 4.S average. The Terrapins" first score against Duke was on an SO yard pass play, down the middle, from Shugars to Seymore. Although three Blue Devils were within tackling range, no one could come close to Seymore as he blasted his way into the in-zone. With Culbreth. the only experienced player in the UNC defensive secondary, out of action, the Tar Heels could have trouble if Maryland elects to take to the air.
