J Wkt tar iyju Vol. 81, No. 118 Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Friday. March 9. 1973 Founded February 23. 1893 Wake fowdowini by Winston Cavin Sports Editor GREENSBORO -Lightning struck Greensboro Coliseum Thursday afternoon as another of those infamous ACC Tournament upsets took place in the very first game. Every tournament lias its upsets, but Wake Forest's stunning victory over Carolina may have been one of the biggest of all time. The Deacons, last in the conference in the regular season and seemingly out of the game, scored one unbelievable bucket to send the game into overtime and then hit again at the final buzzer to hand the second-seeded Tar Heels a 54-52 loss. The win advanced the Deacons to the ACC semi-finals against Maryland tonight. The Deacons got stellar performances from a host of players rac in pulling off the upset. Guards Eddie Payne, Tony Byersand Bobby Dwyer played Coach Carl Tacy's slowdown offense to perfection and the insider work of Lee Foye and Mike Parrish effectively shut off Carolina's strong inside game. The Deacons led most of the way before Carolina came back to claim almost certain victory. Wake led by as many as 10 points in the second half after leading, 22 to 18, at half time. With the Deacons leading, 43-37, and five minutes left in regulation, the Tar Heels staged a brilliant rally. A three point play by Bobby Jones cut it to 43-40, and a baseline shot by John O'Donnell made it 43-42 with 3:20. left. Brad Hoffman's corner shot put Carolina out front 44-43 at 2:17. From that point Carolina went into a stall of its own, but Byers' three point play put Wake back in front with a minute and a half left. O'Donnell hit again to make it 46-46, and Carolina looked tate aid. due to f OTidiniff emits by William March Staff Writer Responding to a possible S9-S10 million loss to UNC-CH from federal funding cuts, Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor has asked the UNC General Administration to request $5.5 million more in state funds for 1973-75 for the Chapel Hill campus. . The request was part of a report from Taylor to UNC President William Friday, concerning the proposed cuts in the federal budget for the Department . of Health, Education and Welfare and their effect on UNC-CH. "It has been my judgment," states a letter from Taylor at the beginning of the report, dated March 5, "that it would be unrealistic, and possibly counterproductive, for us to ask the state to replace all the funds we are losing from federal sources. The projects for which state funding is being requested represent those training programs which I and my principal administrative colleagues consider to be of particular importance to the University and the state." The University's main loss will be in training funds for support of graduate students and research funds for schools in the health complex. .

One of the oldest churches in Chapel Hill, the small chapel is still used today by students praying for spring break to hurry up. (Staff photo by Scott Stewart) Taylor's request is for about $4.8 million in Health Affairs and $0.7 million in academic affairs, over the next two years. The training programs, for which replacement money is requested were to provide support for 235 graduate students in the Health Affairs Division over the next two years and for 79 students in the Academic Affairs Division. In addition, they would provide the equivalent of 50.1 full-time teaching salaries and 58.8 administrative and secretarial salaries in Health Affairs, and 19 teaching and 6 administrative and secretarial salaries in Academic Affairs, for the next two years. "Replacement moneys are desperately needed if we are to avoid the immediate loss of faculty and the immediate discontinuation of important graduate and professional training programs," states Taylor's letter. Of the requested funds, about $1.3 million would go to the School of Public Health, one of the hardest hit units on campus in terms of the percentage of its budget lost through federal funding cutbacks. The estimated loss in this school is $1.5 to $2 million, plus 100 traineeships for students administered by the school. Another $1.3 million would be requested for the School of Medicine. This amount would replace lost training grants for the school, but would offer no replacement for a projected loss. of nearly half a million dollars in research funds. A total of about $400,000 over the next two years is requested for the Psychology Department, also hard hit by the federal budget cuts. $82,000 is requested for next year for faculty and training support in the Department of City and Regional Planning for a social policy planning program. $227,000 over the next two years is requested for training programs in community services in the School of Social Work. The schools of Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy, the Office of Allied Health Sciences, the Carolina Population Center and the Institute of Speech and Hearing Sciences are also included in the request for replacement money. Taylor's report emphasizes the importance in the health fields of some of the graduate programs for which training funds have been lost. - "The excellence of. many of our graduate and health professional training programs in the sciences, social sciences and professional schools has become highly dependent on the federal funds," it states. - like a winner when Byers stepped on the out-of-bounds line with a minute to go. Carolina seemed to win the game when Jones tapped in Hoffman's outside shot to give Carolina a 48-46 lead with one second left. After the Wake time-out, Byers threw the ball the length of the court. Five players leaped up for it at the foul line, but it went over their fingertips and landed in the hands of Foye on the baseline. All alone, Foye put it in at the buzzer to send the game into overtime. In the heart stopping overtime period, both teams traded baskets to make it 52-aIl with 2:52 left. Carolina stalled for the last shot and George Karl went up for the would-be game winning shot with six seconds left. But the ball bounced off and Payne grabbed the rebound with four seconds left. The Deacons fired the ball down court and Byers fed unknown Phil Perry under the bucket. Perry found himself all alone under the bucket and his lay-up put the Deacons into the ACC semi-finals for the first time in three years. The end of the game resembled the USSR's lightning basket at the buzzer that beat the United States in the 72 Olympics. Carolina somehow failed to get down court, leaving only Ed Stahl to defend the basket. Byers feed gave Perry the chance to become an instant hero. The loss dealt a crushing blow to Dean Smith's Tar Heels. "I'm extremely disappointed for this team," Smith said after the game. "1 thought that we played a fantastic defensive game. "This has to be the low point simply because it was in the tournament. We made a great comeback just to get back in the game, but we feel worse that we seemingly won the game. "You have to give a lot of credit to Payne. He did an excellent job of controlling the ball." Smith said the game demonstrated why there should not be a 30-second clock in college basketball. "The four corners is the great equalizer," Smith said. Wake Forest coach Carl Tacy said his Deacons "executed the game plan well. Even when we got behind, 1 thought we had a lot of poise and determination. This is the best we've been, without a doubt," Tacy said. Wake Forest is now 12-14 on the season. The loss was Carolina's seventh in 29 games. Carolina's offense was below par in the first half as Wake closed off the inside game. Carolina's first half scoring came mostly from outside. In the second half, Carolina got the ball inside to Jones and Stahl more often, but the hot shooting and fine ball handling of Payne and Byers kept the Deacs in front until near the end of regulation play. For the game, Carolina shot 41 per cent from the floor-far below the Tar Heels' 54 per cent average.
