Look, as Rocky the Flying Squirrel would say to Bullwinkle, this time for sure." Yea . . . after all, the Deacs have only dropped three straight Atlantic Coast Conference games heading into tonight's 8 p.m. league match-up in Carmichael Auditorium. Things bad been looking up for Wake Forest, right up to the finals of the Big Four Tournament held in Greensboro over the holidays. The Deacs had been 6-1, losing only to Florida State before heading into the tournament. After beating Duke 64-61 in the semi-finals, the Deacs had to take their lumps the next night as State ho-hummed its way to a 91-73 victory following some early-game scares when Wake took the initial lead. Virginia was next to beat Wake Forest, 91-84 in Charlottesville, then Maryland grabbed a 72-59 win from the faltering Deacs in Winston-Salem. Now before you think the Deacons are going to come into Carmichael and play dead, remember the 54-52 slowdown upset Wake Forest handed to Carolina in the first round of last year's ACC tournament. The Deacons, under Head Coach Carl Tacy, have amassed wins against teams like Duke, Penn, Rice and West Virginia.

Foremost among the Deacons is Tony Byers, Wake's AII ACC candidate at guard, who leads the team in scoring, pumping in an average 20 points a game with a 50.3 percentage. Byers was the key factor in last year's upset, controlling the tempo of the slowdown game. Even though Wake succeeded with the slowdown in last year's match up in Greensboro, Carolina head coach Dean Smith doubts the Deacons will try it again in Carmichael, especially with the addition of 6-8 Carl Stamp, a junior college transfer. "Stamp gives them the big man they needed to go with the team's outstanding quickness," says Smith. The best indication I know of Wake's quickness is the fact that Duke chose to hold the ball in the game with Wake. I think Wake Forest now thinks it has the personnel to play with anyone on its schedule." Rounding out Wake's front line personnel are Mike Parrish and Lee Foye, both 6-6, while at the other guard spot along with Byers is 6-0 freshman Skip Brown, who has been averaging 1 1.4 points a game for the Deacons. Carolina is currently ranked fifth in the nation, now holding a record of 10 wins against only one defeat, that being to third-ranked North Carolina State, and Smith is worried about possible Tar Heel complacency. "Sometimes when you play on the road then come home, you have a tendency to relax," says Smith. "We can't afford that against a team as good as Wake Forest." ivers booked R V RALEIGH (UPI) North Carolina State guard Moe Rivers has been charged with shoplifting a 35-cent aspirin bottle and released on bond pending a trial. State Coach Norman Sloan said the 20-year-old guard had been suspended from the team for one game. According to Richard E. Elsener, head of the Merchants Detective Agency, Rivers was stopped after he left the Mission Valley Convenience Store Monday night. Rivers was charged with larceny of property under $200, a misdemeanor. His trial was set for Feb. 14 in Wake County District Court. The UNC wrestling team will grapple N.C.

We're the kind of bank that early over came the stuffy, conservative image held by banks in general. The reason for the difference is the kind of people who've built C&S: a new breed of bankers who had the imagination to think of new things to do, new ways to do the old things, and the courage to try them. But what does all of this have to do with you? Perhaps a lot if you choose to join Banking's New Breed and come grow with us! Stop by your school placement office.
