Larrv Russell UNC Defense Gets Big Test Today by Mark Whicker Sports Writer Carolina's freshmen have been strong defensively, but they will be trying to contain two of the best yearling backs in the country today when Virginia invades Kenan Stadium at 3:00. Kent Merritt, a halfback with 9.3 speed, and quarterback Harrison Davis will lead the Cavaliers, victors over William & Mary, VMI and Maryland. The Tar Babies beat State 21-0 three weeks ago, then lost to Wake Forest 14-6 last Friday, ending a ten-game winning streak for Coach Moyer Smith. But Wake got its touchdowns on a questionable pass interference call and a fluke kickoff which bounced back into Deacon hands. The Deacons were also using the triple-option all day. Smith was expecting a more pedestrian offensive formation, yet the Tar Babies adjusted well enough to deny Wake any significant yardage for three quarters. Since Merritt has blazing speed, defensive ends Len Anderson and Ted Levrenz have the responsibility of keeping him inside.

C4 by Don Albright Sjth Wr;ur Not many football teams cj" bcu! three starling quarterbacks The Carolina freshmen this year are one of the exceptions. After beginning the season with no les than 12 quarterbacks. Coach Mover Smith has had to narrow the actual if Merritt gets to the outside." says Smith, "you might as well mark up' a touchdown. Our defensive ends played well at Wake Forest, however." The Cavaliers are equally strong defensively. Linebacker Harry Gehr, who with Merritt was courted anxiously by Tar Heel recruiters, and defensive end Stanley Land are two of the best. The Tar Babies relied on their running in the win over State, but Russ Strait attempted 20 passes at Wake and completed six. A 46-yard bomb to promising receiver Earl Chesson, brother of the Duke star, paved the way for Carolina's only touchdown. UNC's other regular quarterback, Nick Vidnovic, prefers to run, and backs Mike Shuster and Eddie Lamens join him to give the Tar Babies a jolting ground attack. Shuster picked up 80 yards at Wake Forest. Smith is hoping Jim Steele will be ready for action at end. Steele has been hampered by a thumb injury. Phil Bracco, who returned an interception to the end zone at State, leads an improving secondary. The Tar Babies will need a good rush to get to Davis, an accomplished flinger who can run 100 yards in 9.7 seconds. Smith has said that the Tar Babies weren't emotionally ready for Wake, figuring the Deaclets wouldn't put up much of a fight. That won't be a problem today. Since Merritt got away from UNC recruiters, Smith wants to make 'sure the speedster ' gets a few bruises before he leaves Chapel Hill again. Y pertormerN demn i Nick Vidnovic. Rus Strati and Johnny Klisc. Strait, from Ridcrewood. N.J.. started the game jjuirss: N.C. State. He wj a prep school All-American at Bordentown Military Academy and said of hi position: '"You have to do the things the way you can." Coach Smith echoed this sentiment when he explained his reason lor starting a new quarterback each ganu. "Each of our three quarterbacks has a different aspect of the game at which he is better." He added that he wanted to give each a chance to improve over the season. "It wouldn't be fair to the other individuals to go with one unit when we have so many with practically equal talents." Klise hails from Portsmouth. 'a. and readily admits that he is not used to running quarterbacks and other players in and out of the game. He also noted t hat it did not bother him nearly as much as he had originally feared. Klise will get his chance to start against the Virginia freshman team, an opportunity he is looking forward to for personal reasons. Virginia was one of the first schools to show any interest in him. but they broke off their interest when an early college board score was not as high as was needed. Klise was primarily a passer in high school, where he threw 37 touchdown passes and led his team to a two year record of 19-1-1. At Carolina he has yet to be adequately tested as a thrower, but may well get his chance against Virginia. Vidnovic is from Falls Chruch, Va. and Stic&men una The first annual Blue-White lacrosse game will be held this afternoon at 4:00 on James Field. This scrimmage marks the end of fall practice for the Tar Heel stickmer.'. The squads will be arranged so that the first string attack will go against the second defense. The midfielders will be divided into two equal groups. Coach Fred Mueller will handle the Blue team, while Coach Vince Anania will lead the Whites.

These are Sammy Johnson and Tommy Bradley who arc performing a! other positions because ot ihcir adaptability. Abundance does not onlv exist at quarterback as in each game thus f.n three tailbacks, two halfbacks, and two fullbacks have been used equally. Although it is difficult for the backs to perfect their timing due to their number and variety, the biggest problem has been' in the linemen being unable to adjust to; different quarterback's audibles. Coach Smith said of this: "We may be trying to play too many boys, but 1 think it will be beneficial both to all the kids and eventually to our varsity program." Hold. criiiimage I According to the Lacrosse Newsletter's I final standings for the 1970 season, Carolina ranked seventh nationally. This represented a climb of fourteen places j from the 1969 rankings, when the Tar Heels finished twenty-first.
