Pon McCauley set 20 records and
joined college football's immortal running
backs Saturday as Carolina buried Duke
59-34 and denied the Blue Devils the
Atlantic Coast Conference championship.
A record Kenan Stadium crowd of
48,600 sat in flawless autumn weather
and watched in amazement as McCauley
broke O.J. Simpson's single season NCAA
rushing record.
McCauley, who said "my mind just
goes along for the ride when I run,"
carried the ball 47 times for 279 yards
and scored five touchdowns.
He finished the season with 1,720
yards, 13 more than Simpson had in 1968
when he established the previous rushing
mark. . , . , ,

a post-season bowl game. A Peach Bowl
representative told Tar Heel Coach Bill
Dooley that UNC is under consideration
for that game.
By losing, Duke forfeited the ACC
title to Wake Forest, which had a 5-1
league record to 5-2 for the Blue Devils.
Duke quarterback Leo Hart set 1 1
school and conference records and
completed his career with the fifth
highest total offense in NCAA history.
Hart, who found his passes repeatedly
deflected by Tar Heel defenders, hit star
end Wes Chesson for five receptions and
1 50 yards.
The prolific aerial combination,
described by Dooley as the most
dangerous faced by UNC this year,
produced only one touchdown, however,
as the Tar Heels double-covered the
speedy Chesson and forced Hart to hurry
his tosses.

bottled-up, Carolina turned things over to
McCauley, who responded with one of
the most sensational performances in
collegiate history.
The 210-pound senior tailback from
Garden City, N.Y. "deserves the Heisman
trophy but probably won't get it because
of preseason publicity for quarterbacks
like Archie Manning and Jim Plunkett,"
said Dooley.
McCauley, in addition to breaking
Simpson's most important record,
became the first runner ever to average
over five yards a carry while exceeding
300 rushes.
He was the dominant figure in "a
great, great win for Carolina," said
Dooley.
Duke Coach Tom Harp called
McCauley a true All-American and added
that "we were ready for the game and we
have no excuses. We were not able to play
catch-up ball, however, and we
congratulate Carolina on a fine victory."
McCauley, setting ACC scoring records
for a single game and season, tallied an
11-yard touchdown in the first quarter,
dashed in from the four in the second,
bulled in from the two in the third and
marked on runs of eight and three yards
in the last period.
His initial score gave UNC a 7-0 lead
with eight minutes left in the first period.
Duke tied the game seven minutes later
when Steve Jones capped a short march
with a one-yard plunge.

, Don McCauley is a runner, not an
orator, and words come only with second
effort, like his rushing records.
Not that the Carolina All-American is
unable or unwilling to speak an intelligent
sentence. He is simply as modest as he is
destructive.
"I didn't think about setting any
records," he said after Carolina's 5934
win over Duke Saturday.
"I thought I might have a chance to
break Frank Quayle's scoring record, but
other than that, I just concentrated on
doing my job."
The 210-pound tailback, a handsome
senior with blond hair and immense
shoulders, was referring to the Atlantic
Coast Conference single season
touchdown record held previously by his
old high school teammate.

A Durham nan has been charged with
the murder of a Chapel Ha black in
connection with a brawl between blacks
and a Durham motorcycle gang outside
the Student Union early "Saturday
morning.
Ronnie Broad well, 28, a nrenrber of
Durham's "Storm Trooper" motorcycle
gang, was arrested by Durham police
early Saturday and charged with the
murder of James Lewis Cates. 22, of
Chapel Hill.
'J Cates died of severe knife wounds in
the abdomen shortly before 3 a.m.
Saturday in North Carolina Memorial
Hospital after he and several other blacks
were involved in a brief clash with
"Storm Troopers" outside an all-night
dance in the Union Snack Bar sponsored
by the Union and the Afro-American
Affairs Committee.
Chapel Hill police said Broad well is
being held without bond in Orange
County Jail in Hillsborough. Police Chief
William Blake said a second warrant
charging an unidentified suspect with
murder was expected to be filed late
Saturday night.
A heated verbal exchange between a
"Storm Trooper" and a black apparently
sparked the fight. The two went outside
the Union, according to witnesses, where

Jones, a sophomore from Sanford, led
the Blue Devils in rushing with 76 yards.
He finished the season with 854 yards on
'203 rushes, with both figures constituting
Duke single season records.
Duke went ahead its only lead of the
afternoon-when David Pugh kicked a
39-yard field goal early in the second
quarter. A 55-yard pass from Hart to
Chesson set up the score.
1 The Tar Heels drove 66 yards in 11
plays to regain the lead on the next series.
McCauley accounted for 44 of those
yards and he scored with 3:50 showing
on the clock.
Carolina added 1 0 more crucial points
in the remaining time before intermission.
Quarterback Paul Miller, a quick,
intelligent sophomore from Ay den,
scored on a bootleg set up by his fake to
McCauley on a fourth down play at the
Duke one with a minute left in the half.
UNC had moved into position for this
TD with a brief 23-yard drive-five runs
by McCauley-after Ricky Packard
recovered Hart's fumble at the Duke 23.
Following a Chesson punt, the Tar
Heels explosively advanced 58 yards to
the Devil four, before stalling and calling
on Ken Craven for a 20-yard field goal
with one second left in the half.
Miller broke the game open shortly

product in one of the most electrifying
performances ever staged by a collegiate
running back.
Included among the records was a new
NCAA mark for single season rushing
yardage. McCauley, in gaining 279 yards
on 47 carries, increased his total for the
year to 1,720, eradicating the legendary
O. J. Simpson's standard set in 1968.
If McCauley was impressed by the fact
that he had bettered the Southern Cal
star's mark by 1 3 yards, he concealed his
pride very well.
"I didn't realize I had done it until I
heard the public announcer say so," Don
revealed. "What else can I say-it feels
good."
McCauley, admitting that he is
interested in playing professional
football, said that he has never been
a group of blacks gathered around the
"Storm Trooper." C-'cs was stabbed in
the ensuing tight.
Several more 'Storm Troopers
rushed outside the Union and a melee
followed in which two "Storm Troopers
were chased around the P:t and beaten by
blacks in front of the Student Stores.
When that fight broke up the "Storm
Troopers" ran to their motorcycles and
left the scene.
The entire incident, which began
shortly before 2 a.m., lasted only five
minutes.
Chapel HiU police said no students
were directly involved in the brawl as far
as they could determine.
Broad well was arrested by Durham
County officers at Watts Hospital in
Durham where he had gone for treatment
of severe facial lacerations shortly before
dawn.
The murder was the third in Chapel
Hill since 1965, and the second on the
UNC campus in that same period. A UNC
coed was stabbed to death in the Coker
Arboretum in July of 1965. That case is
still unsolved.
Reports on the number of people
involved in the fight vary with estimates
running from seven to ten Storm
Troopers and as many as 50 blacks.
There were approximately 500 peo'"
at the dance.

to a beauty contest hopeful never
submitting to the tape.
"I have been timed for 40 yards," he
reported "I did it in 4.65 seconds." Is
that good?
"A lot of backs are faster, but I think I
have enough quickness to compensate. I
rely a lot on balance and second effort,
too."
McCauley credited his blockers-as he
has done after every game this
season-with important contributions to
his rushing success. Then he said, "1 don't
think we really realize it's all over-but
what a way to go."
He gave an indication of his intense
concentration by saying, "my mind just

Witnesses said a student who identified
himself as a former army medic tried to

Chapel Hill PoLce Chief W D. Blake
said his force was first notified of the
disturbance shortly after 2 a.m. when
they were asked to call the ambulance for
Cates.
Our first call was for an ambulance,"
Blake said. "A patrol car transported the
one that died (Cates) to, the hospital
because of the slowness of the

Blake said he thought Ihe incident
might have been connected with a
complaint his department received earlier
Saturday night of a disturbance involving
blacks and whites on downtown
Henderson Street. Blake said that
disturbance broke up when a patrol car
arrived on the scene.
Shortly after 1 a.m. there was another
disturbance at the dance, apparently
involving two blacks.
No charges grew out of either earlier
disturbance, however.

locker-"the cold air makes me
cough"-McCauley resumed his interview
with a horde of reporters.
"I think I could possibly run about 60
times in a game. Since we won today, it
really feels like I just carried the ball 20
times, though."
He said Carolina's game plan normally
assigns him about 30 carries, but he is
ready if he is needed for more.
Among the records he set against Duke
were ACC and school marks for rushing
attempts, yardage and touchdowns in a
season and game.
"He is as good as any runner I ever
heard of," said Carolina Coach Bill
Dooley.
Asked if he thought his jersey, No. 23,
would be retired, McCauley replied, "1
might just keep it." It woujd ceitainly
make an appropriate gift, to go along
with his talents for running and for
remaining humble.
