CLEMSON, S.C. A crowd insane with a desire to topple the nationally-ranked Tar
Heels of North Carolina couid not inspire their beloved Clemson Tigers enough to defeat the
Carolina visitors as Clemson suffered its second straight Atlantic Coast Conference loss in
two outings. The Tar Heels meanwhile apparently overcame an early-week bout with a virus
to make their regular season ACC debut, walking off with a 102-90 victory.
Clemson could not even get the ball out of its own backcourt in the early moments of play
as the shifting Carolina defense stifled any semblance of Tiger offense.
Clemson head coach Tates Locke called time out after just over three minutes of play when
Carolina shot out to a 10-0 lead which sent the Clemson record crowd of 11,565 into
hysterics.
"Dean Smith, sit down, you ain't nut tin' you damn fool."
Shouting and screaming did not prove too successful as the Tar Heels stretched their lead
to 1 2-0 before Clemson could manage its first score; with 1 2:43 left to play in the first half the
score was. 1 6-0, in favor of Carolina and the pa paper cups and pieces of ice were beginningto
hit the floor of Littlejohn Coliseum.

North Carolina's wrestling team opens its .,
home season here this weekend with a pair of
matches against Furman and Western
Carolina.
The Tar Heels face the Paladins Friday
and the Catamounts Saturday. Both
matches are scheduled for 8 p.m. in
Carmichael Auditorium.
Carolina toppled Campbell College 26-16
before the Christmas holidays in its only
dual action of the season, despite three
starters being sidelined with injuries. Brett
Bynum suffered a broken nose. Mark
Liddell had a severely sprained ankle which
had to be put in a cast, and Bob Glasgow had
a broken wrist. Freshman football
quarterback Carl Hoffman, who had been
impressive in the 177 weight, is out
indefinitely with torn knee cartilage.
. "We beat Furman last year," says Coach
Bill Lam, "but they have a new coach from
Appalachian State and are a greatly
improved team over last year. Western
Carolina beat us last year. I'm anxious to see
how our young men can do against these
more experienced teams."
Clemson offense began to pick up as the clock wound down to the ten-minute mark, the
Tigers pulling within six points with 1 1:48 left to play in the half.
The crowd, pleased with the results of its cup-throwing display decided to make itself more
notable, choosing individual players and spurring them on to greater deeds.
"Waddell, you're a black son-of-a-bitch, sit tin' on a seat. Get your ass in there."
Waddell smiled.
The Clemson players sensed the increased crowd pressure and responded with a scoring
burst that tied the game at 23-23 with 8:41 left in the half, but two minutes later the Heels had
pulled back to a 29-23 lead, causing Locke to call another "time out dammit," as he stormed
up to the scorer's table.
The Clemson alumni went berserk, stomping in the aisles, whistling, screaming, spitting,
pointing accusing fingers at the referees, while the student section did its part.
"Walter Davis, you're a black sucker. T'
"Sit down Smith, you white bastard!"
The time-out was useless; Carolina continued to stretch its advantage, pushing out to a 49
33 halftime lead.
The Tar Heels came out of the dressing room to face elbows and shoves as the game began
to degenerate to a war.
The crowd became frustrated as its racial tactics wore thin and decided a switch to religion
would be best.
"Hey Foglen hey! Jew-boy!"
Properly inspired, the Tigers began a slow assault on the Carolina lead, chipping away at
the point spread and the Tar Heel players.
Meanwhile, Carolina's big men began to suffer the consequences of the physical battle,
fouling out in succession: Ed Stahl(7:07 left to play), Mitch Kupchak (6:35) and Bobby Jones
(2:13).
Clemson pulled within nine and it was Smith's turn to call "time-out dammit!" as the "I-Pay-Twenty-A-Year"
crowd spit and screamed some more.
The Tar Heels resorted to the four-corners delay and mercifully stayed under the 100-point
mark until Waddell sank a free throw with ironic accuracy with 1:05 left to play in the game.
The crowd couldn't shout about Walter Davis' skill in handling the four corners, or his 1 1
of 1 1 accuracy from the line, or Waddell's accuracy, or Smith's coaching, or Carolina's 102
90 victory.
UNCs female basketballers tamed a
scrappy Wolfpack squad in a 59-46 opening
w in last Wednesday at North Carolina State.
Stifling State's outside shooting, Carolina
took command early in the third quarter
with strong defense and board play. The
Heels held the Pack to a lone free throw for
over five minutes and marched to a 19-point
lead.
In the final stanza, NCSU hit three quick
buckets, but could never compensate for its
sluggish third quarter of five points.
Junior Marsha Mann dominated the Tar
Heel attack, stripping the nets for 19 points
and hauling in ' 22 rebounds. Mann,
underneath the basket with follow-ups and 9
for 9 from the free throw line, was
complemented by the deadly top-of-t he-key
swishes of freshman Dawn Allred, canning
18. BJ. Woodard added II.
The Heels, who never trailed in the
contest, rushed to an initial 7-0 lead. State
battled back to tie the score at 7 and faced
only a one-point deficit at the first quarter
mark, 14-13.
In the second period UNC freely
substituted and relied on a 2-1-2 zone to cut
off the potent shooting of NCSU Genie
Jordan and Kathy Bounds. The Heels
widened their margin to 32-23 before the
half-time break.
Both teams began rather slowly after the
half. For Carolina, Lucy Lowder picked up
three quick fouls. However, with about four
minutes remaining. Tar Heel Woodard hit
for two on a fast break assist from fellow
guard Allred.
The fastbreak ignited an eight-point
Carolina push, and the Pack got their first
bucket for the quarter with 40 seconds left in
the period.

with the Heels for tomorrow.
