t 300-poeodeir beats AbraiM Saturday. Dscetf 5. 1970 The Djify Tar Hf Tar Heels trounce Clemson swimmers 6th loss for Mind wrestler by David Zucchino Sports Writer Bob Abrams lost Friday. It doesn't happen often. Bob wrestles as a heavyweight for Western Carolina's varsity and is competing in this weekend's North Carolina Collegiate Wrestling Championship in Carmichael Auditorium. He began competitive wrestling as a third-grader in Columbus, Ohio and since that time has compiled an incredible 1 1 8-6 record, including his loss Friday. What makes Abrams' record truely remarkable is the fact that he's never seen any of his opponents. He's been blind since he was eight years old. Just how does a wrestler combat an opponent he can't even see? Abrams, a stocky 5-10, 190-pounder, offers a valid explanation. "The rules state that there must be finger contact between two wrestlers before a match can begin, so I really don't have to see my opponent," he claims. "As long as I keep body contact I can almost always tell which way my opponent is going to move by the way his arms tilt." Bob, a freshman Education major, was outweighted by more than 100 pounds in his match. His opponent, John Harrison of N.C. Central weighed in at nearly 300, so Abrams, who missed the 190-pound' division by only one pound, was placed at a severe physical disadvantage. "He was like a tree stump," he explains. "He was exteremly strong and heavy. I could get under him easily enough, but I simply wasn't able to pick him up or flip him over." It stands to reason that Bob's opponents may have a natural tendency to let up on him and not wrestle to their full capacity because of his physical handicap, but Abrams feels that this is a relatively rare occurence. "They may go easy on me right at the beginning but not for long," he states. "Actually, I've never been aware of any 73 u.

Abrams admits that he's usually nervous and tight as the times of his matches approach, but he believes that this merely stems from nervous energy and actually serves to improve his performance once a match gets under way. "I'm scared almosi ail of the time before a match and sometimes I can really get a bad case of butterflies. Once I have some physical contact, though, I feel pretty confident that I'm going to come up a winner." Although wrestling was the only sport that Bob was equipped to play as a third-grader, he now participates in track, competing in the mile and the 600-yard run. Despite his discouraging loss today, Abrams is optimistic about the upcoming season, although he admits that he needs to guard against becoming too sure of himself. "Although I didn't show it today, I've been pretty fair on takedowns recently," says Bob. "I was out-classed today, but at least four of my losses have resulted from over-confidence on my part." "If I can just watch this, I think I'll do pretty well. I'm looking forward to improving myself this season." Partly because Bob has turned his serious physical handicap into merely a slight disadvantage, he expresses a desire to teach retarded and physically handicapped children. There's absolutely no doubt that he'll be a success, for Bob Abrams decidedly gives young children, and everyone else for that matter, someone to look up to. North Carolina wrestling coach and Tournament Director Sam Barnes Grid club sets 3 meetings The UNC football club will hold a series of organizational meetings next week to make plans for next season. The meetings will be held in Room 215 of the Union at 7:30 Tuesday through Thursday nights. Only one meeting will be sufficient for each interested player. The purpose of the meetings is to orient prospective members and to check the possibilities of a spring season and a 160-pound team in addition to the unlimited team. The team is also interested in prospective trainers, managers and statisticians as well as players. The club had a 3-1 conference record to tie for the championship.

USC beat Auburn in Columbia 86-69, but none of the Cocks could hold down Johnny Mengelt, who fired at will for 26 points. Carr got 38 and Collis Jones scored 30 in Notre Dame's 94-81 win over Michigan Tuesday night. In other ACC action, Duke goes to Virginia, Carolina travels to William & Mary, State journeys to Auburn, Temple hosts Wake Forest in Philadelphia, Clemson entertains Mercer and Buffalo travels to Maryland. South Carolina jumped out to an early 22-6 lead over Auburn, but the Tigers came back to close the margin to 41-31 at halftime. Mengelt was unchecked the whole night and led Auburn within two points with 12 minutes remaining in the game. A three-point play by John Roche and the superior rebounding of Tom Owens and Tom Riker opened the margin up again for the Gamecocks. Roche put in seven points in the last three minutes to boost his total to 17. Owens and Riker led the scoring with 28 and 23. Frank McGuire benched two-year starter John Ribock in favor of junior Rick Aydlett and starter Bob Carver at the other guard. Highly regarded soph Kevin Joyce scored six in a reserve role, hitting his first shot from 20 feet. However, Mengelt had no problems scoring when guarded by Joyce.

Joe Williams, architect of the Jacksonville machine who switched to Furman after last season, saw his Paladins outrebounded 38-22 and throttled by a tough Clemson defense. Dave Thomas picked up 20 points and seven-footer Dave Angel got 1 5 in his first varsity game. Virginia has beaten Duke two straight years at Charlottesville's University Hall, and Bill Gibson apparently has his best team this season. In addition to holdovers Bill Gerry, Tim Rash and Scott McLandish, Gibson has persuaded aggressive forward Mike Wilkes to rejoin the team. The big scorer may be soph guard Barry Pankhill, who had a 26-point average on the Cav freshman team. Fencers face Tennessee duo The Carolina fencing team travels to Knoxville, Tenn. today for a tri-meet with the University of Tennessee and Vanderbilt.

Randy Denton was the difference. The senior center, who will compete with Owens again for ACC rebound leadership got 29 points and 1 1 rebounds. Soph Jeff Dawson came off the bench to score 16. Mengelt, probably the SEC's best player this season, will have a chance to perform for the home folks against State. The Wolfpack . only led by a three points at halftime against Atlantic Christian Tuesday, but rookie forward Rick Holdt scored 25 and led State to a 30-point win. He shot 1 1 for 15. Wake Forest's regulars hardly worked up a sweat in Tuesday's 96-66 win over Appalachian, but Saturday night in Philadelphia will be different. Charlie Davis shot seven for 14 and hit all eight free throws for 22 points, and Gil McGregor added 14.
