Heels -Cocks In Key B le nside The s ACC: J JL CICC - , i -.V J J ( 3 liv Al Thomas The buttle between the two (urolinus JL-t for Kenan Stadium today is undoubtedly the most important game in the Atlantic Coast ( onlerenee this week, and probably the most important of the year. , It'll be the battle of the best of the ACC. and more than likely the battle to determine who will wear the con Terence crown. Tin- Gamecocks will be defending their conference championship ol last year; the Tar Heels, besides trying to wrest it from them, will be try ing to protect their long win skein and national ranking. Bill Dooley, coach or the Tar Heels, summed up his feelings about the game by saying. "There'll be no place for the weak of heart." Dooley will probably be right. Carolina, sporting a more than respectable 4 0 record and standing as the 18th best squad in the country, is favored to whip the Gamecocks, who have managed a somewhat disappointing 3 11 record. Predictions generally rate UNC a five to eight point favorite. The two teams have played only one common opponent-North Carolina State The Tar Heels demolished the Wolfpack 19 0 while the Gamecocks 'squeezed out a 7 7 tie. Despite this, there are no signs that the Tar Heels are duilty of over-confidence today. South Carolina is just too tough for that. North and South Carolina plit preejn forecasts a to who would win the conference championship. The Tar H-.vN UCIV given the edge in depth, while the Gamecocks held a commanding eJ?c in experience. Willi most ACC teams suffering a lack o talent, depth and experience, it w ould be a major upset if either school !t to any ACC team except each other. If that holds, the winning team today would be in a commanding position in the championship race. A game's strategy is seldom made public before the game starts, especially when the game is as important as this'one. Nevertheless, it appears the Tar Heeh will stick with a running came., especially since the Gamecocks have the most experienced defensive secondary in the league. The Tar Heel's rushing attack is much more formidable than their passing attack, boasting such runners as Don McCauley. Ike Oglesby and Lewis Jolley. The main problem area facing the Tar Heels is the same as it has been lor the last four weeks-the UNC defensive secondary. UNC doesn't have one experienced player in the secondary. Against South Carolina, this "problem" takes on added significance Tommy Suggs, the lightning quick quarterback, is the best scrambler in the conference. With North Carolina's ability to defend against the passing question, Suggs could easily deal a serious or even fatal blow, either with the long bomb or a series of short, sideline passes. Suth Carolina will undoubtedly take to the air-lanes today. North Carolina is weakest in its defensive secondary ,.Vv.v.v.v.v.v.v.sv.v.v.v.v.v.,.v.vv.y North Carolina will probabh si.n on the ground most of the time. South Carolina's line is big. but much slower than North Carolina's. These combinations could easily make for a high-scoring g.nne. The more than 47.000 people who will owrflow Kenan Stadium won't be disappointed in the brand of bull played, although there is a 50-50 chance many will be disappointed in the final score. In other action involving Big l our teams. State will play Fast Carolina. Duke will travel to West Virginia and W.ike Forest will meet Virginia Tech. State has the best chance of any Big Four team of winning (including UNC). while Duke has the least chance. The Wolfpack seem to be climbing out of their doldrums, tying South Carolina two weeks ago and narrowly losing to Florida 14 o last week. FCU. w inless in four tries this year, hasn't come close to making a game interesting. Virginia Tech hasn't won a game this year, either, even losing to Virginia 7-0 in the first game of the season. The Deacons wallopped Virginia 2h 7 last week and should be able to help the ACC's record against outside foes. Duke's assignment is much tougher. The Mountaineers are ranked among the top 15 teams in the country, and should be ranked among the top 10. Duke, meanwhile, is stumbling through a disappointing season with a 2 2 record. The wins came against the two worst teams in the ACC. Virginia and Maryland. Overall, however, even including the Blue Devils outing, it could be a very good week for the Big Four, possibly the best week so far in the current campaign. ::::::::::: bate Catches Carolina by Howie Can Sports Writer Scoring on a fourth quarter penalty kick, a determined North Carolina State squad battled the Tar Heel soccer team to a 1 1 tie Friday, in front of a large crowd at Fetzer Field. Carolina completely dominated the Wolfpack, taking 34 shots to the visitors three, and making eight corner kicks compared to State's two. However, the Wolfpack goalie, Ron Lindsey, managed to neutralize all the statistics with an incredible performance. He made fourteen saves. The Tar Heels only score of the day came at 12:27 of the first quarter, as, right wing Dave Feffer slammed a Townie Anderson pass past Lindsey. Tar Heel inside McKay McKinnon was ejected from the game in the third quarter for allgedly roughing the goalie, and his place was taken by John McCallie. Carolina goalie Tim Haigh had his one save during this period, as he stopped a hard-hit. Kik. frorp ,a,Stat,forward.uThe-,. Tar Heels threatened time and time again, but still could not score. Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Wolfpack drove down to the Carolina goal, where fullback Al Merrill was called for pushing. This set up a direct penalty kick by State forward Tom Almquist, and he booted it past Haigh to tie the score 1-1. The enraged Tar Heels then really put the hear on the beleaguered Lindsey, as they averaged over a shot a minute for the rest of the game, while Carolina's superb defense did not allow the Wolfpack to cross the midfield stripe again during regulation time. As soon as Carolina got the ball, they drove downfied, setting themselves up for a corner kick. The kick was too long, but halfback Pete Seggel took the ball away from State and passed it ot Louis Bush, who missed the shot. (Bush, nursing an injury suffered against Appalachian, did not start and was used only sparingly.) Seggel soon had the ball again, but i 18-2 16-4 16-4 IS -2 13-7 13-7 Cobbs Whicker Thomas Gooding Starnes Bello Neb.-Missouri Neb. Neb. Missouri Neb. Neb. Neb. Fla.-Fla. St. Fla. Fla. St. Fla. Fla.

Moments later Seggel launched another booming shot, and Lindsey was forced to deflect it over the top of the goal, setting up a corner kick. Anderson kicked the ball inbounds to halfback Rick Brayton, who was unable to put the ball home. A little while later a State infraction within the penalty area gave Carolina a, direct shot on goal. However, Bush, the Tar Heels' top penalty kipker, was not in the game, while McKinnon, the second kicker, had been ejected earlier. Fullback Tim Morse took the shot, which sent over the top of the goal. The regulation game ended in a 11 tie, as Carolina was lining up for yet another corner kick. The first five-minute overtime period saw more heroics by Lindsey, who made saves on a head by Karl Muster and a Seggel kick. Coach Allen sent in two fresh forwards, Dan Arial and Don Shakle, at the beginning of the second overtime period, but neither team was able to score, and the game ended in a 11 deadlock. The Tar Heels, whose record is now 2-0-1, host Virginia Oct. 13 in their next game. '"2 The editor of the Daily Tar Heer, Tom Gooding, and DTH sports editor,' Chris Cobbs, lengtheneed their lead in the DTH's predicting contest by correctly guessing the outcome of 10 of 10 garmis last Saturday. : Gooding and Cobbs are each pacing the pack with 18-2 record for two weeks. Gooding attributed his success to "a lot of luck." Mark Whicker, sports writer, and Al Thomas, assistant sports editor, clung to their third place positions with 164 records. Whicker and Thomas each correctly guessed nine of 10 outcomes last week, with Thomas' miss coming when he predicted Virginia would top Wake Forest and Whicker's coming when he said Kentucky would upset Auburn. Lana Starnes, staff writer and all-around girl, and Tommy Bello, student body president, remained in a tie for last with each predicting eight of 10 games correctly. Their overall records are now 13-7. (i Runners Get Stern Test Meet Maryland, William & Mary Ft far' by Mark Whicker Sports Writer Maryland and William & Mary will give the young Tar Heel cross-country team its hardest test of the season at Finley Golf Course Saturday morning. The Terps have the same team that won the conference last fall, and W&M boasts national AAU mile champion Howell Michael. UNC lost to State 23-32 in a tri-meet at Raleigh last Friday, but defeated Virginia 15-50. The Wolf pack's Gareth Hayes, Neil Ackley and Jim Wilkins captured the top three positions, with Tar Heel captain Larry Widgeon, hampered by a cold, placing fourth. Widgeon's time was 26:48. Pat Grady and freshman Steve Grahtwohl were fifth and sixth with time of 27:01 and 27:1 1. Mike Garcia and Mike Caldwell, both freshmen, finished eighth and ninth. "We thought Maryland would be younger this year," observes UNC coach Joe Hilton, "but they apparently have the same boys returning."

Michael defeated Marty Linoori in the AAU mile this summer, and thereupon travelled through Europe with the national team. : Hilton says that Michael is equally good on the five-mile cross-country course. The Tar Heels should rebound this week, with Tony Waldrop recovering from a sore foot and Bruce Hafemeister gradually returning to full speed after a sprained ankle. It seems a shame that such a scrumptious dessert as cherries jubilee has to come at the end of a dinner as delicious as one served at the Saddle and Fox. You can begin with Chesapeake Bay oysters or cherrystone clams on the half shell, then continue with a New York strip steak, served with your choice of pota toes, the vegetable du jour, a tempting salad from our garden fresh salad bar, and hot home baked rolls and butter. Then you'll hopefully have room for the cherries jubilee and Charlie Haynes' special coffee.
