Carolina's Tar Babies seek atonement
for their only loss tonight as they tackle
the Duke Blue Imps at 8 in Carmichael
Auditorium. .
The Blue Imps tagged a 68-65 loss on
the Tar Babies December 9 in Durham,
but Carolina has reeled off three
successive, convincing wins since then,
rolling over Brevard, Virginia and Gaston
College.
Duke employed a pressing defense
against the Tar Babies in posting the win,
and freshman coach Bill Guthridge
expects more of the same tonight.
"Duke will probably use some sort of
press again," said Guthridge, "since most
freshman teams play the same way from
game to game.
"Judging from past experience with
Duke, we should have another close,
exciting game."
Two important changes have occurred
since the first Carolina-Duke clash.
Duke's Sam May, a 6-5 forward who
scored seven of the last nine Blue Imp
points, has since quit the team, while 6-3
forward Darrell Elston of Carolina, who
did not see action against Duke because
of mononuecleosis, will start tonight.
Elston, from Tipton, Ind., hit for 10
points Monday night against Gaston
College in his first start of the season.
"We're very happy to finally have
Darrell playing," Guthridge stated. "He
worked out over the Christmas holidays
and was in . good shape Monday night,
especially considering that he missed so
much playing time."
Joining Elston in tonight's probable
starting lineup will be 6-6 John O'Donnell
at the other forward, 6-9 Bobby Jones at
center, and 5-1 1 Ray Hite and 6-0 Bill
Crouch at the guard positions.
Jones is the current team leader in
both scoring and rebounding, hitting at a
27.6 clip and hauling down an average of
17 rebounds .per game. O'Donnell is
second in both categories with averages of
25.4 and six.
Hite and Crouch are both averaging six
points per outing, and Guthridge feels
' Jones and O'Donnell are possibly carrying
too much of the scoring burden.
'HDur scoring needs to be more
balanced," Guthridge claimed. 'The
Strong Southern Illinois
visits Tar Heel gymnasts
by Howie Carr
Sports Writer
Gymnasts from the University of
Southern Illinois invade Carmichael
Auditorium today at 3:00 p.m. to meet
Carolina in a meet that Coach Fred
Sanders says will feature "by far the best
competition this state has ever seen."
The powerful Salukis are currently
ranked second nationally behind Iowa
State. Their coach, Bill Meade, was
Carolina's mentor until 1956.
Despite a December 1 2 auto accident
that killed one member of the squad and
injured five others, SIU still boasts
exceptional depth.
Jack Lindner is the Salukis' top
all-around man. He competed for the U.S.
World Games team that went to
Yugoslavia in October and Saunders
predicts that "he will definitely be on the
Olympic team in 1972." Saluki Pierre
Ropeiquet is "the best ring man in the
world as far as I'm concerned," says
Saunders.
The upset-minded Tar Heels are led by

addition of Elston helps us quite a bit,
and I think that Hite will start scoring a
little more.
"Our main concern, however,"
continued Guthridge, "is to prepare top
players for the varsity. We also want to
win, and I feel that we're making good
progress. The boys work extremely hard
in practice."
The Tar Babies carry a 4-1 slate in
tonight's clash and are currently
outscoring their opponents by an 80-75
average, hitting 51.3 of their shots from
the field.
The Blue Imps suffered their first loss
in 21 games Wednesday night, a 61-58
setback at the hands of Wake Forest. The
Wake frosh were billed as the "worst
freshman team in Big Four history."
Chris Redding, at 6-8, scored 28 and
had 12 rebounds for Duke. He has a good
corner shot and teams up with 6-9 center
Dave Elmer on the backboards.
Elmer, only 17 years old, fouled out
of the first Carolina, game, but has
apparently improved since then.
Probably the most polished Blue Imp
is guard Jeff Burdette. He handles most
of the ballhandling duties and rarely
makes a turnover. Although May is gone,
Coach Jack Schalow will have 6-7
forward Ron Righter coming back after
an injury.
Elmer leads Duke

For those who thought State's period
of basketball fortune in the ACC would
be a one-year fling, another look at the
Wolfpack might be wise.
The plowboys have recovered from a
mid-December slump to win six straight,
including victories over Carolina, Wake
Forest, and Wednesday night's 83-81
squeaker over Maryland at College Park.
all-around men John Hesser, Murray
Kravitz, and Ben Edkins. Richard Fox,
slowed by an arm injury which caused
him to miss the Illinois meet, could be
the third all-around man.
"We're a little bit out of our league in
playing these teams," explains Saunders
of his rugged schedule, "but we're
improving because of it. By the time we
start our schedule against the other teams
in our own region, we'll really be ready."
The Tar Heels opened the season by
winning a triangular meet against Virginia
and William & Mary. They outdistanced
their opponents with 109 points, as the
Cavaliers collected 76 and the Indians
70.7.
Carolina then lost a dual meet to the
University of Illinois-Chicago Circle by a
161.25-124.5 margin.
During
the Christmas break Sanders
took his team to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., to
compete in the National Gymnastics
Clinic. At the conclusion of the clinic
Sanders was named national Coach of the
Year.

In other conference action, Duke
nipped Wake Forest 68-67 and South
Carolina topped Temple 84-7 1 .
UNC Coach Dean Smith, right before
the Tar Heels lost to State 82-70 in the
Big Four tournament, rated the Wolfpack
of '70-'71 as at least equal to last year's
ACC tournament champions, even though
Vann Williford and Rick Anheuser had
departed.
But Bill Benson, a sophomore guard
with a gift for the outside shot, has
replaced Anheuser, and forward Dan
Wells is getting credit for something
besides his fighting ability.
Add another frontcourt sophomore,
Rick Holdt, and junior holdovers Paul
Coder and Ed Leftwich, and the Pack has
another formidable team.
Leftwich won the Maryland game with
a 25-footer at the final buzzer after
fouling Bob Bodell twice in the last
minute.
Coder and Wells put the Wolfpack
back into the lead after Maryland had
erased a 10-point deficit late in the
second half.
Leftwich led State with 23 points. Jim
O'Brien got 21 for Maryland.
State is continuing to win the close
ones (an overtime victory over Virginia
Tech, a three-point win over Wake
Forest), and that is an invaluable quality
in an ACC race.
Duke finally showed that quality in
their first conference victory. Wake
Forest, which controlled its nerves in the
one-point win over Jacksonville, missed
two' one-and-one opportunities in the last
minute, and Randy Denton layed in the
winning points with three seconds left.
Denton got 28 points and 1 7 rebounds
against the same zone that limited Artis
Gilmore to 13 points.
However, Wake's Charlie Davis
continued his artistry with 26 points
(nine of 16 shots). Gil McGregor tried
manfully to keep up with Denton,
picking up 1 1 rebounds and 1 2 points.

Several Tar Heel fans
sitting behind
the South Carolina bench at the
UXC-USC showdown held up a banner
proclaiming "Tar Heels Whip NYU at
Columbia," referring of course to the fact
that Gamecock Coach Frank McGuire
seems to spend the better part of every'
spring sniffing out New York basketball
talent.
, Any fans who came early enough to
catch the freshman game would have
noticed that Tar Heel Coach Dean Smith
and his recruiting staff of John Lotz and
Bill Guthridge must have pounded a few
New York City sidewalks last spring.
Although Smith did stick around
North Carolina long enough to sign
Charlotte's highly-recruited Bobby Jones,
a 6-9 center, he also managed to lure 6-6
forward John O'Donnell, who is second
to Jones in current freshman scoring and
rebounding, away from the clutches of
McGuire.
O'Donnell, who attended Fordham
Prep School in New York, was chased by
several colleges and eventually narrowed
his choice down to either UNC or South
Carolina. Fortunately for the Tar Heels,
he elected to go no farther south than
Chapel Hill.
"North Carolina is a top school
academically," explains O'Donnell, "and
it has a solid basketball record and
program. It's a big change from high
school, but I haven't encountered any
problems so far."
O'Donnell, who always gives a smooth,
consistent performance, came up with 25
points and 13 rebounds Monday night
against Gaston College to raise his current
scoring average to 25.4, second only to
Jones' 27.6.
John's 13 takedowns represented his
best board effort of the season and upped
his rebound average to six per game.
Jones leads the squad with an
eye-opening 17 rebounds per outing,
which takes a great
deal of rebounding

pressure off O'Donnell, who feels that
board play is the area of his game that
could stand the most improvement.
"I need to try for a lot more
rebounds," he says. "I was pleased with
the 13 I got Monday nighv, but I still
need to grab more loose balls and
offensive rebounds.
"It seems like every time I go up for a
rebound, I look up and see Bobby flying
above me, grabbing the ball.
"Bobby is extremely quick for a big
man," continues O'Donnell, "and he has
very good moves. I never hesitate to pass
him the ball, because hell get to it
somehow. When he does get it, he puts
the ball in almost every time."
O'Donnell is no shooting slouch
himself. He has hit from anywhere within
25 feet this season and who almost never
seems to miss on his gliding lauyups, is
currently connecting on 57.9 of his
shots from the field and leads Tar Baby
starters at the foul line with an 81.0
completion mark.
O'Donnell credits his fine shooting
touch to the help that he received from
assistant coach Lotz, who corrected a
couple of flaws in his shooting form early

ever Since.
O'DonneU's attitude may have
something to do with his shooting
performances thus far this year. He
always appears cool and relaxed, and it is
a well-documented fact that sweaty pi! ms
and knocking knees are not conducive to
high-scoring basketball players, who, as
everyone knows, must have a firm hand
and a steady grip.
