The Daily Tar Heel

Do you know exactly what you will be
doing from 7 a.m. until midnight a year
and a half from now? Homer Rice does.
The Carolina athletic director follows
a schedule that should awe anybody but
the President. By just looking at a date on
one of three bulletin boards of calendars,
by following a sheet of instructions that
is lined off in hours, and by glancing at a
daily checklist, he knows for sure what he
should be doing every hour of the day,
five days a week. -
Rice simply doesn't give in - not to
vacations, not to stress, and only
sometimes to untimely interruptions,
such as a growling stomach or NCAA
meetings.
And two straight Carmichael Cups and
Play here tonight
Women split two games
The women's basketball team split two
games last week to bring their season
record to 4-3. The women lost to
Meredith College of Raleigh, but came
back to topple Winthrop College of South
Carolina.
The women, coached by Jeanne Eller,
traveled to the capital city for the bout
with the powerful Angels. The Tar Heels
fell to a cold 22 per cent from the floor
as Meredith held on for a 46-44 win.
Marsha Mann, the sensational center,
popped in 21 points in the losing effort
and led all rebounders with 16. B. J.

ice: man who
a runner-up finish in three years haven't
come about from coincidence. "I don't
want to take credit for the cups," he said,
"because it's been our players, coaches
and the personnel in the department who
have been responsible for our success."
Rice, only 45, brought a fabulous
coaching record with him to Carolina in
1969, and it's easy to see why several
universities have tried to lure him away
from Chapel Hill, including Rice
University, who last year was ready to
thrust into his lap the double duties of
head football coach and athletic director.
His 11 high school football teams
racked up a sensational combined 101-9-7
record before he became Head Offensive
Coach at the University of Kentucky.
After four years there, Coach Rice made
a jump to the University of Oklahoma as
Woodard chipped in 13 points for the
losers.
Leading scorers for the Angels were
Kathy McNeill with 16 and Vivian Craig
with 10.
The girls of UNC returned to
Carmichael Auditorium Feb. 9 to defeat
Winthrop, 51-43. The Tar Heels shot a
blistering 41 per cent from the floor to
down the southern visitors.
Mann again led the Heels with 25
points and an amazing 20 rebounds. Both
are near her average. Beth Black had eight
points for the Carolina women, and Jenet
secon
feat merits him a trip to the American
Bowling Congress nationals this spring in
Syracuse, N.Y.
Alan Mann was the next highest scorer
for the UNC team, finishing fifth in all
events. He averaged 215 for the first five
games.

head offensive coach. During his one-year
stay there, the Sooners set a Big-8 passing
percentage record (Rice himself starred at
quarterback in high school and Centre
College in Kentucky.).
Then he went to the University of
Cincinnati where he was Head Coach for
two years. His 1968 team, paced by star
quarterback Greg Cook and receiver-place
kicker Jim O'Brien, the number one
scorer in the nation, shattered 58 school
and seven NCAA records. It was the
number one passing team in the nation
and ran up the second highest total
offensive yardage in NCAA history
(335.8 a game).
Finally, he came to Carolina, where
the Tar Heels finished second in the
Carmichael standings his first year; now,
they are in hot contention for a third
straight Cup in his fourth year.
McCall grabbed eight rebounds. Linda
Goyak led the visitors with 1 1 points.
Coach Eller called the Meredith loss
"disappointing," but added that she was
pleased with the win over Winthrop. "It
was their finest and strongest
performance of the year," Eller said.
The women will have their last home
game of the season tonight in Carmichael.
They will host the Angels of Meredith at
7:30 p.m. in an important contest.
Carolina fans will have their last chances
to see Mann before she takes off for a
Moscow tour next summer.
The women will head for Peace
College in Raleigh Feb. 22-23 for the
DUMP tournament. The tourney features
Duke, Carolina, Meredith and Peace.
Then the team travels to Elon College for
the state tournament Mar. 2-4.
The girls have scored four wins this
season.

Just a few days ago. Rice reached the
"biggest peak" of his UNC career, when
the Tar Heels were placed first in the
nation in a composite ranking of football
and basketball teams for 1972. UCLA
finished second to Carolina.
Surrounded by two big office desks as
well as overhanging pictures, the tireless
executive said that the secret behind
Carolina's success is a matter of
management." He commented on one of
his managerial novelties, saying that "the
organizational chart is a big change,
because it helps people understand whom
they should report to and through which
channels to report."
The organizational chart is an 11x16
sheet of paper on which a myriad of lines
and boxes represents the hiearchy of the
Athletic Department.

Rice, who serves on several NCAA
committees, said that his job "gets more
intense every year." He said, "There are
more and more things to do, and 1 serve
on more and more committees, and I get
involved in more and more national
programs as well as my own program."
Rice's work day is extremely long. So
what is it that keeps him at his office
from seven a.m. until midnight?
According to his one-and-a-half year old
schedule, he indulges in the following:
department policies, future football
scheduling, public relations, facilities, the
education foundation, and speaking
engagements ("I am called to speak all
over the country.").
Coach Rice is a national figure as well
as a University figure. He serves on the

Directors of Athletics; the Television
Committee, on which he represents the
southeast; and the Committee on
Athletics and Education, which keeps
contact with Congress to see that the
policies of the NFL do not conflict with
college or junior college programs.
And that's after only four years in the
position.
The Council of the NCAA recently
proposed that the NCAA should split up
into two bodies, one made of the
colleges, the other comprised by the
universities. Thus, national issues would
be acted upon depending upon the needs
of the colleges as a whole and upon those
of the universities. Homer Rice voted for
that, but "the small colleges
outnumbered us."
However, a special session will be
called before August 1 for
reconsideration of the matter, and Rice
predicts that "it (the NCAA) will split in
some fashion."
Rice didn't get his way on another
issue. In "a real shocker," the NCAA
recently voted out the 1.6 rule, ruling
that athletes who do not keep up a 1.6
average can now receive financial aid. The
smaller schools, he says, were the villains
this time, too.
As a result of Rice's fanatical planning
and organization, talented personnel, and
strong support, UNC is running a
neck-and-neck battle with Duke for the
Carmichael Cup. But the Carmichael Cup
and national championships are not the
purpose of the Athletic Department, he
says.
"It's hard to explain it to people. My
number one concern is what the program
does for the young man who
participates," he said. "So we keep
records and follow up on those who leave
us to see what effect the experience had
upon their lives and their successes.
He pointed out that over 90 per cent
of UNC's grant-in-aids graduate. "This is
about the highest percentage in the
country," he said. "I would challenge
anybody about it."
