The teeming masses of Chapel Hill had
their choice of entertainment Saturday
afternoon; one could either go to see a nice
American comedy at the Carolina theater, or
go to see the theater of the absurd in
Carolina's Carmichael Auditorium.
Teenagers driving around town or driving
players going through opponents, the idea is
universally applicable, the hapless
hopelessness of those seemingly
overwhelmed by superior numbers and fates.

. Jimeson took first place in floor exercise
and the still rings, scoring 7.6 and 6.8
respectively. The sophomore from
Arlington, N.C. also swept the high bar with
a 7.85 and scored a meet-high 9.0 in the
vaulting event.
Ron Newby followed Jimeson's example,

faint glimmer of defeating the number-four
nationally ranked team, the glimmer being in
the form of two outstanding forwards, Wally
Walker and Gus Gerrard.
After five minutes of play it was painfully
aware to most concerned spectators and
television viewers Gerrard's contribution
would be greatly hampered as the 6-8 junior
picked up three quick fouls and Carolina
wandered into the bonus situation,
wandering all over the court otherwise
offensively.
The Tar Heels had the worst shooting half
of their season in the opening period, hitting
only 38.1 per cent of their shots, but still
outrebounded the Cavaliers 35-20 while the
Wahoos shot 20.6 percent from the floor.
"It had the makings of a good game,
flatly stated Virginia head coach Bill Gibson
after the game's end, "but the officials ruined
the whole thing in five minutes."
With Gerard sitting on the bench in foul
trouble, Carolina shot out from a tight 9-8
lead at the 15;00 mark, to a 30-10 margin
with 7:46 left to play in the half, as Ray Hite
hit Bobby Jones with a length-of-the-court
assist for an easy lay up and the rest of the
Tar Heels went fast break crazy.
It was all Gibson could stand and Gerard
soon popped back into action. With Gerard
leading the Wahoo attack, Virginia out
scored the Heels 10-2, but (wouldn't you
know) Gerard found himself with his hand in
the air for the fourth time in the game,
fouling Jones with 4:36 left to play in the
half.

Before the match it didn't seem like a
typical Carolina-Duke encounter; the local
fervor usually present in these bitter affairs
seemed to be missing.
Even coach Bill Lam admitted Duke was
not of primary importance, as he was putting
the team through two-a-day workouts in
preparation for the ACC tournament in
Raleigh this week.
Lam wanted to beat Duke to end the
season on a winning note, but was afraid his
another first place.
Jimeson also swept the all-arounds,
scoring 39.15. while senior Ben Ed kins
captured third place.
Rick Ludwin placed second in vaulting
with an 8.7 and team captain Bob Semes
scored a 6.7 on the horizontal bars, to secure
another second place for the Tar Heels.
Jimeson and Joe Burt also won second
places, Jimeson on the parallel bars and Burt
on the pommel horse.
The men's squad will take on the Indians
of William and Mary at 2 p.m. March 9 in
Carmichael. in the last regular season meet.
UNC's women gymnasts fell to Duke
Friday night in the Women's Gym, 54.30 to
the Blue Devils' 70.23.
The Tar Heel women captured third place
in all four events. Missy Grcich leading the
way with a 5.96 on beam and a 6.7 on the
floor. Grcich also tied with Paula Kilpatrick
on vaulting with a 4.93.
Janet Snow also took a third, with a 4.83
on the uneven parallel bars. 1

Virginia offense went back to sleep for a
four-minute snooze as Carolina pulled out to
a 41-23 halftime lead.
"Virginia didn't really play all that well
without Gerard in the first half," noted
Carolina's Dean Smith. "We had our best
defensive half of the season and we had our
worst offensive half of the season in the first
half."
With the Cavaliers on the proverbial
ropes, Carolina blistered Virginia from all
sides in the second half, the fast break craze
turning into mass hysteria amongst the Tar
Heels.
Virginia's set defense held Carolina about
as effectively as celluloid film holds a beam
of light, and a Carolina play-by-play sheet
read like a coach's playbook.
Jones was tied with Walker, who carried
the brunt of Virginia's offense with Gerard
out. for game high scoring. Both had 18
points while Walker had 1 1 rebounds to
Jones 10.
Ed Stahl, hitting 66.6 per cent of his shots
from the floor, was second best for the Heels
with . 16 points. Darrell Elston had 10 and
Mitch Kupchak pumped in 10. points while
pulling down 10 rebounds.
"We got excellent play from our big men
tonight," commented Smith, "now it's on to
Tuesday night in Raleigh."
Raleigh . . . hmmm. .
You know, Burleson. Towe, Thompson,
the whole gang, the best collegiate basketball
team in America.

Tuesday night watching films . . .game films.
rigorous conditioning program would tire
the team out for the Blue Devils.
However, it was Duke that suffered an
energy crisis as Carolina wore down the Blue
Devils 23-14.
Duke's Greg Penny, defending ACC
champion at 126, defeated Bob Glasgow as
expected, but just barely edging Glasgow 5-4
on riding time.
Mike Starkey more than made up for the
loss of Don Merrick, pinning the Blue
Devils' Tom Straverskey with two seconds
left in the second period.

Raleigh (UP1) North Carolina State
and North Carolina, ranked first and fourth
in the nation and probably the two bitterest
rival in the Atlantic Coast Conference, meet
Tuesday in Raleigh to open the final week of
regular season league competition.
The Wolfpack, virtually assured of first
place in the regular season race and the first
round bye that comes with' it in the ACC
Tournament opening March 7, may drop the
Tar Heels into a tie for second with
Maryland by winning. State (22-1, 1 0-0) has
beaten Carolina (20-3, 8-2) twice before this
season, once in the Big Four Tournament
and once at Chapel Hill.
Other action in the week ahead includes
three games Wednesday and four Saturday.
Wednesday. Wake Forest (13-10, 3-7) is at
Maryland (19-4, 7-3), Duke (10-13, 2-8) at
Clemson (12-1 1, 2-9) and Virginia Tech at
Virginia (9-14, 4-7). Saturday, Duke is at
Carolina, Virginia at Maryland, State at
Wake Forest and Clemson at Georgia Tech.
The past weekend added some weight to
arguments advance by coaches early in the
season about how well-balanced the
competition is among ACC teams, with
North Carolina State and Maryland both
season finale
Carolina's Brett Bynum was behind 1-0
going into the last minute of his match with
Bryan Davis, but salvaged a 1-1 tie by
escaping with time running out.
Kim Carter had an even closer time,
reversing on Duke's Brent McDonald with
two seconds left in the match to pull out a 4-2
victory.
The superior conditioning of Carolina's
matmen was obvious as Bob Reingten and
Bob Carter wore down their Blue Devil
opponents, 8-2 and 9-2 respectively,
Reingten piling up 6:55 in riding time.

having to struggle to claim narrow u . . r
underdog opponents.
State, down by a point with 1:49 to play,
fought back behind the efforts of David
Thompson and Tommy Burleson to claim
80-75 win over Clemson, the bottom team in
current league standings.
And Duke, only one notch above Clemson
in league standings with a 2-8 record, had
possession with 34 seconds on the clock and
was behind by only a point when Pete
Kramer lost the ball in a drive. Len
Elmore recovered for the Terps, was fouled
and sank two free throws to clinch a
Maryland victory.
In other games of the weekend. Wake
Forest trounced Appalachian State 106-60.
Thompson, a junior All-American,
finished as high scorer in the State-Clemson
game with 35 points, while Burleson had 19
in the Wolf pack's 28th consecutive ACC
victory.
In the Duke-Maryland game, Elmore put
on a near one-man show, scoring a game
high 22 points and pulling down a game-high
17 rebounds in addition to sinking the two
crucial free throws.
Gary Lariclstra was the only Tar Heel who
seemed tired from Lam's workouts, losing to
Duke's Tim Wilkerson 8-2.
Carl Hoffman literally picked up the
team's spirit 'as he held Colt Luse over his
head on two occasions, before winning 9-4.
Gary Wheeler appeared in excellent
shape, moving well for a 5-3 victory over the
Blue Devils' Mike Fisher.
Bill Huffstetler showed he was in shape by
managing to avoid Duke's heavyweight Joel
Puelo, who finished third in the nation last
year, for almost two periods before being
pinned.
