'"Opposing McK.cc and McNair. the
jnnounccr at the Greensboro Coliseum
said, "will be a newly formed team. Stan
Smith and Itric van Dillen."
Friday night at the Coliseum, the
number one tennis player in the Atlantic
Coast Conference. UNC's Fred McNair,
teamed with his doubles partner Richard
McK.ce. to take on that new team. Smith
and van Dillen are only the doubles team
that won the Davis Cup for the United
States this year, as well as finishing
second at Wimbledon and Forest Hills.
In a preliminary to the doubles match,
Smith, the number one ranked American
player, defeated van Dillen, a senior at
Southern California, 9-8, in a S3000
challenge. For most of the match, Smith
apparently was toying with the 21-year
old van Dillen, letting him break his
service early, only to win it back when it
counted.

somewhat of a surprise lo many of the
fans in the stands, served as a tuneup for

Madison. Wis., next month for the NCAA
indoor championships.
'We didn't even know we were going
to play until the last minute," McNair
said after the game, which the Tar Heel
duo lost, 6-3. "They asked us to play
Monday, but there was a hassle with the
NCAA over whether it would affect our
amateur status." McNair continued to
explain that they had checked the rules
closely, finding that it was okay. "There
was no money involved, it was just an
enjoyable get-together."
"I didn't know we were going to play
until tonight," McKee said. "I had to
borrow some clothes from Eric."

crowd, who cheered during the play

basketball crowd, which il was, rather
than a stuffed-shirt Wimbledon
gathering-looked like a get-together of
old friends.
"We played together a lot this
summer." McNair said. "And trie is like
one of the family, lie's been dating my
sister." McNair said that he hadn't played
van Dillen in a match for about two
years, but that they had had some close
matches in the past.
Did it make him wish he had turned
professional, watching his friend playing
for that much money? "My intentions
were always to come back to UNC and
finish playing four years of tennis,"
McNair said. "After I graduate, I plan to
turn pro and play tennis for money for a
couple of years."
The slowest start was by McKee. "I
was a little bit nervous," he admitted.
"The worst part was sitting around
waiting to play." He added that it was the
first time he had played in a week. He
commented that the Sportturf surface
was exceptionally fast.
Both McK.ce and McNair agreed that
the crowd noise did not bother them.
"We just went out to have fun," McKee
said.
"It's good to get this kind of
exposure," McNair added, "both for us
and for the team."
The . crowd noise was especially
evident when McNair was serving. The
cries of "Go Tar Heels" and "Beat State"
did not seem to hinder the players. But
once during his service, McNair cracked
up completely when someone yelled,
with the score at 5-3, "Go into the four
corners."
The tennis matches were almost too
much for the Greensboro crowd, which
had really come out ' to watch the
division-leading Carolina Cougars. Many
spectators were surprised to walk into the
arena and see a tennis match under way.
But as the fans realized who they were
watching, they settled down and enjoyed
the action. For many, it was the first time
they had seen decent tennis players.
Heels top Pirates

North Carolina continued its record of
never losing to East Carolina in swimming
as the Tar Heels defeated the Pirates
69-43 Saturday at Bowman Gray pool.
Coach Pat Earey's swimmers
overpowered ECU in the first five events
of the meet, building up a 35-8 lead.
Peter Ray, Bill Koczyk, Jim Osborn
and Mike Fitzgerald opened the meet
with a victory in the 400 medley relay.
Gerry Chapman and Jike Southard swept
the 1 ,000 freestyle, as Chapman clocked
10:02.6 for his best time of the season.
Another Tar Heel sweep came in the
200 freestyle when Bob Nagle (1:48.6)
and Pete Anderson finished first and
second. Glenn Garella and Dan Goble
captured second and third in the 50
freestyle. In the 200 individual medley,
Tom Berry (2:02.7) and Karl Thiele
(2:03.5) turned in excellent winning
times.
Larry May and Ben Aycock captured
second and third places in the one meter
diving, and Aycock later took second in
the three meter event.
Other winners for UNC were Osborn
in the 200 butterfly (1:59.3), Dave
Marlin in the 200 backstroke (2:02.6),

100 freestyle in 49.8, and Berry took
third in the 500 freestyle with 5:02.6.
Earey and assistant coach Pat

distance freestyler. has been sidelined
indefinitely by illness. Barnes has

Pack works out
Notes and opinions on sports:
The N'C State Wolfpack warmed up
for Sunday biggie with Maryland by
"working out" against Lehigh to the tune
of 1 1 5-53. The game, played in Raleigh's
friendly Reynolds Coliseum, gave
Norman Sloan's horses a chance to
breathe some fresh air after sweating it
out over Duke, 94-87, earlier in the week.
Sloan explained afterwards that "we
just wanted a good workout without
over-working anyone," according to a
story in the Raleigh News and Observer.
The game turned out to be little more
than a practice session, as all five starters
were out of the action with almost 13
minutes left in the contest. State led at
the time, 88-35.
It was another in a long line of
ridiculous nonconference games for the
Wolfpack. It's a real shame when a team
of State's calibre plays teams like Atlantic
Christian, Appalachian State, South
Florida and UNC-Charlotte, all in
Reynolds. It's a disservice to the fans to
make them pay good money to watch
mismatch after mismatch. We hope the
State people will realize the mistake they
have made and schedule some healthy
NCAA competition in the future.
permits four varsity seasons to be spread
out over a five-year period. This means a
football player can he held out of action
for a year to give him more time to
develop his abilities without losing a year
of eligibility.
it also lets coaches spread their talent
for maximum usage. Rather than let a
good player ride the bench for a year
while another gets all the playing time,
they hold the younger one out while the
senior finishes.
The vote came as no surprise, as most
of the major football conferences cherish
the right to redshirt players. The Big Ten
is one league that has already done away
with redshirting. Other leagues may
follow suit before too long.
The National Collegiate Athletic
Association held its annual convention in
Chicago last week and rejected a proposal
to split the NCAA into two divisions,
giving separate voting powers to the "big
schools" and the "little schools."
The plan, backed by the nation's big
jock schools, would have set up a Division
I and a Division II for administrative
purposes. The NCAA is better off for
having turned the plan down.
- The main bone of contention was
whether a smaller university or college
(like Virginia . Military Institute) should
have an equal voice with a traditional
powerhouse (like the University of
Michigan). Right now, East Carolina has
as much to say about rule changes,
money matters, etc., as does Southern
Cal. And that's the way it should be.
The conventioners also rejected a
proposal by the ACC to outlaw
"redshirting" in football. The current rule
The Carolina Cougars continue to roll
merrily along, sporting the best record in
the American Basketball Association.
Going into Sunday night's game at
Memphis, the Cougars were 33-15, not
bad for a club which won 35 games in the
entire 1972 season.
The Cougars visited Greensboro again
Friday night, loping off with a 129-106
win over the Dallas Chapparralls. It was
the ninth straight home win for the North
Carolina team.
UNC graduates continued to dominate
the Cougar scene. There was Billy
Cunningham ('65) getting 23 points and
11 assists. Dennis Wuycik C72) chipped
in with 13 points and two assists. Steve
Previs ('72) played toward the end of the
game and got four points and one assist.
And then there were the Cougar
coachesLarry Brown ('63) and Doug
Moe ('61).
The influence of the Tar Heel coach
Dean Smith is noticeable whenever the
Cougars play. Unlike some pro players,
the UNC grads look for the assist as often
as the shot. They all play team ball and
hustle even on defense, something that
can't be said about every player in the
ABA. Currently, eight Smith products are
either coaching or playing pro basketball.
Only one-Bob McAdoo-failed to
graduate from Carolina.
