was zs basketball fan who died and went to heaven.
While standing on an ethereal street corner, bored to tears, he longed to see some
round ball action. A stranger happened by and suggested to the deceased that he
walk a few blocks north where he would find a basketball game already in progress.
. Delighted, the basketball fan arrived at the stadium and took a seat near
midcourt. '
The first player to take a shot aimed a jumper from 40 feet that went cleanly
through the net.
The second shot attempted was a booming set shot from midcourt. . . swish!
Astonished, the recently deceased fan watched as the same player stepped out of
bounds and lofted the ball 100 feet to the opposite side of the court. . . the ball
sailed briskly through the twine.
" Who is that guy?" asked the new heavenly arrival to. a nearby spectator.
"Oh." said the informer, "that's God. . . he thinks he's Lefty Driesell."
Oh, hello, This is the little column where I'm supposed to inform the sporting
public (as they say on television) as to what transpired in the visitors lockerroom
after the Maryland game. .
Well, this won't take long.
Imagine thirty some-odd sportswriters and broadcasters huddled together in the
steaming caverns of Woollen Gymnasium. (Five minutes. . . ten
minutes. . . Yoohoo, Lefty. Didja forget about the fourth estate?)
Finally, Driesell emerges from the Maryland lockerroom. He looks big pissed.
He glares at the hungry wolves with their notebooks in hand.
Lefty mumbles something about "a very fine club" and being "out-toughed."
Lefty pirouettes and heads back to find his crying towel in the lockerroom.
Smith Barrier, the dean of North Carolina basketball writers, wouldn't let Lefty
get away that easily.
" W-W-W-Wait Lefty, . . . one question (he really didn't have one so he tried to
make one up quickly) . . . Your team made a great comeback. . . can you
comment?" questions Barrier.
Lefty is glaring again. He growls, "Comeback don't count. There's only one damn
thing that counts in this game and that's winning."
BLAM! Lefty slams the lockerroom door.
Hmmmmmmm. 1 said to myself, "Self, 1 don't think you're going to be able to
interview anyone in the Maryland lockerroom." So, I decided to see what was going
on in the Carolina lockerroom.
It was New Year's Eve all over again (Someone proposed that we should drop
Lefty off the Allied Chemical Building). y
It's wall-to-wall people in the Heels' dressing quarters, with great crowds of
sportswriters interviewing Bobby and Darrell and Walter.
A Carolina manager ushers Woody Durham's young son into the lockerroom.
Little Woody presents Bobby Jones with half of his own birthday cake.
Jones, delighted, pulls the young man to his side and shakes his hand.
Watch some idiot sportswriter say that Bobby Jones takes the cake.

UNC entertains neighboring rival. UNC
G. tonight in a 7:30 hard-court battle, which
promises tense competition once again, in
Carolina's Carmichael Auditorium.
This home bout pits Tar Heel Marsha
Mann, who's averaging 19 points and 15
bounds, against UNC-G ace, Rita Wiggs.
Wiggs notched 21 at the Heels' expense,
when the clubs tangled last season in
Greensboro. Mann had 24 in the losing UNC
effort.
"We haven't beaten UNC-G since I've
been here," Mann, the 6'0" co-captain, said,
shaking her head. "I would really like to beat
Rita. 1 guess it's a personal vengeance for
me."
Mann said that she has much respect for
im casei's Rnost rival UHC
G
Wigg's ability. "She's an excellent ball player
with exceptional jumping power," the World
University Games performer said. "Her
outside jump shot is really good."
Wiggs competed in Iowa, as Mann did, to
represent the United States in the World
University Games, held this past summer in
Moscow. Also, the two standouts played
each other on the high school level here in
North Carolina. Mann, at Dunn High, and
Wiggs, at Cape Fear High.
Other UNC starters include playmakcr,
G.J. Woodard, a sophomore, averaging
about 1 1 points a game. Freshman Dawn
Allred, holding a 12.5 average, will join
Woodard at guard.
Completing the line-up are freshman Patti
Purgason, and senior co-captain Lucy
Lowder.
Teamwork ranks as the necessary
ingredient for a win, Mann continued. "We'll '
need four -quarters of working together," she
stressed, referring to previous weak quarters,
that have hurt the squad. ;
"1 think we're sufficiently scared for this
game," the junior math major said. "We were
overconfident when we went to Winthrop
last week."
UNC fell, 60-55, to a quick, outside
shooting Winthrop team last Thursday in
Rock Hill, S.C. Although Mann canned,
eight of nine from the floor the Tar Heels
could not match this excellence in other
categories. '
Poor rebounding, partially because of
Winthrop's screens, plagued UNC, which
had only 16 grabs for the game.
Three players did place in double figures
for UNC. Mann finished with 2 1 , and Allred
and Woodard tossed for 1 1 each.
Carolina rebounding suffered when Mann

"It really bothers me if someone feels uncomfortable at
my place. After all, it was once a home, so you should feel at
home here. .
That's why our waiters not only know their business,
they also know how to be people. If you'd like to talk things
over, they're more than happy to. If you'd rather not, they
worit.The way you want it is the way it will be.
Which is, of course, the basic idea behind Seth Jones.You
can go upstairs and relax before dinner if you likeThen
we serve a five-course dinner for which we- charge one very
comfortable price: $9.50 a person.
After dinner, if you like, stay and visit with us awhile.
As a matter of tact, 1 11 really be fT
disappointed if you don't. J

picked up her fourth foul early in the third
period, forcing her to the sidelines for the
remainder of the quarter. She ended up with
only six rebounds, as opposed to totals of 22
and 17 in earlier contests.
However, UNCs fourth quarter pleased
Mann. She said that the Heels, who depend
foremost on the inside game, demonstrated
their ability to shoot outside.

North Carolina State coach Norm Sloan admits it AU-American David
Thompson wasn't playing up to par Saturday, at least not until it counted.
"David wasn't sharp, but he played good at the rightttmersaid Sloan after Slate
scored 12 straight points in the final minutes to down Purdue 86-8 1 after trailing for
the entire game, at times by as much as 15 points.
Thompson scored only six points in the first half, but roared back with 18 in the
last 10 minutes of play and finished with 26 as the third-ranked Wolfpack. leading
the ACC standings at 4-0, pushed its overall mark to 13-1.
State faces another tough road game this week, playing fourth-ranked Maryland
Wednesday. And Lefty Driesell's Terrapins are hungry for a win, especially after an
82-73 setback at the hands of fifth-ranked North Carolina Saturday. Maryland (2-2.
12-3) lost to State earlier in the season, but then that was at Raleigh and Driesell
never has had much luck in Tobacco Road country.
Carolina (5-1, 1 3-2) was paced by Darrell Elston with 20 points and Walter Dav is
with 16. The Terps got 20 points from John Lucas and 17 from Tom McMillen.
Maryland kept close in the first half, but Carolina marched steadily away in the
second half.
In other weekend action, Duke dumped Princeton 73-65; Wake Forest fell 78-76
to Davidson; and Clemson thumped Virginia 61-51.
The State-Maryland game will be a highlight of Wednesday's play, but every
other league team will be in action that day as well.
Carolina will be visiting Wake Forest (2-3,9-6), Davidson will be at Clemson (1-5.
9-7) and Virginia (2-3, 5-9) visits West Virginia.
Saturday, Duke is at Maryland; Virginia at North Carolina State; Clemson at
North Carolina and Wake Forest at Virginia Tech. '
Driesell had . only a few words to say to reporters after his team lost to the Tar
Heels: "I think they've got a very fine club. They out-hustled us. They out-toughed
us. That's all I've got to say."
The Terps haven't won at Chapel Hill since 1965 and have lost six of their last
seven outings in North Carolina.
Seven-foot-one Wayne Rollins' 1 1 points and 18 rebounds were a decisive factor
in Clemson's win over Virginia for its first ACC victory. Jeff Reisinger had 14 points
for the Tigers, vyha led by as much as 1 7 points in the second half. Gus Gerard with
id points was ioppin ror Virginia.
