V Monday, February 25, 1974 Waldrop pads his record 3 J f ) j V Tl racAMemi rant no seconded place WuiaV J T lit "r m rgJ Jljf' Wemnieiiii cagers fail inn dhaMpnoinislMp bid by Susan Shackelford Sports Writer What can you say about a good team that loses? Mostly just "if." lots of "ifs." if only, if she, if it any combination illustrates the point. Background supplied: Sue Cannon's third-seeded cagers succumbed in semi-final playoff action Friday. The bearers of Carolina's bad news were a tall, talented Western Carolina team, ranked second for the tourney. The pronouncement: 60-58 only two points and a barrage of "iFs." Consolation play Saturday night . . .again. . . a two-point demoralizer. This time at the hands of a peaking, spirited tourney host UNC-G. 66-64. The Prelude: Friday, game day, some quiet, others punchy, but all enigmatic, eating a team breakfast, sifting and shuffling the 1 0-2 season, privately reviewing, about to put all on the line. Seems like a million mile trip to Coleman Gym only a short distance away: warming up, huddling, playing finally. UNC recovers after a slow first half to mount a 23-point win over Appalachian. With 33 points. Marsha Mann led the Heels, capitalizing on the inside as ASU's center Janice Markland watched mostly from the sidelines with an ankle injury. On to the semi-finals at 7 p.m. yes, only six hours away. Two tournament games in one day a lot to ask of any squad', most would say. Anyway back to the gym. Somewhat drained from the morning's comeback demand, the Heels open with a turnover-filled first quarter Western Carolina leads 18-9. UNC has only two field goals and can't latch on to momentum. Co ming off the bench in the second quarter, Vicki Jobe and Patti Purgason boost . UNC with several baskets, but WCU persists with a balanced attack. 30-21. Western, and into the locker room. Hopes bolstered as Carolina plays WCU even in the post-half stanza. Final minutes of the game now or never for the struggling Tar Heels, playing catch-up. Senior Lucy Lowder clips the WCU lead to three on an outside shot with 15 seconds remaining. The Heels are the closest they've been since the first quarter score of 6-3. But hopes slip away when trouble, named Judy Stroud, sinks three free throws in the last 13 seconds. Mann hits a 25-l ooter at the buzzer pretty shot, but no regionals for the '74 Tar Heels. Hopes for Harrisonburg inoperative. Final score: 60-58. Saturday night the Tar Heels seemed oblivious to the "consolation" status of the game with UNC-G. They demonstrated that they journeyed to this Greensboro tourney with a dedication to the idea of basketball. The game tottered back and forth and stood at a 58 tie. sending it into overtime. But. for the Heels, it just wasn't in the cards. With two seconds left in the overtime, UNC.ace Marsha Mann moved to the basket to attempt a game-w inning score, but was called for charging. UNC-G sealed the victory with a free toss, making the final tally, 60-58. This placed U NC fourth for the tourney. Another two point loss, and a case of the "ifs." ' In the tournament finals. Elon remained undefeated, beating Western Carolina. 61-48, to cop the state crown. Ruggers win opener; ake next opponent connecting on three conversion kicks. Pete Thompson led a well balanced effort by the scrum, scoring once along with solid support from Tom Maierand Len Anderson who each added a try. In the B game, Carolina continued their unbeaten string from last year by a similar one sided score of 26-0. Bill Cannell led the B's with a fine combination of kicking and running. Cannell scored once and set up several of the other trys. He converted on three extra points attempts. COLLEGE PARK, Md. Tony Waldrop ran his sixth consecutive sub-four minute indoor mile here last Saturday night, posting a time of 3:56:4 in the Atlantic Coast Conference Indoor Track Championship. Maryland, with eight winners in the 13-event meet, scored 88 12 points to claim its 19th straight indoor crown. Carolina was second with 45 12, N.C. State had 29, Duke 21, Virginia 10 and Clemson 7. Waldrop's time equalled the previous world record, which had been held by Tom O'Hara until a week ago, when the UNC senior set the new world mark of 3:55 in San Diego, Calif. Waldrop also tied O'Hara's record of six indoor sub four minute miles. Only Marty Liquori has run two back to back. "It has to be the most amazing feat I have ever witnessed in track," said Maryland athletic director, J im Kehoe, who coached the Terp track team for years. "They say it is virtually impossible for a man to run a sub-tour minute mile without the benefit of competition," said Kehoe. "But Waldrop equalled the previous world record. It is absolutely amazing." Most of the ACC premier milers chose to participate in other events, conceding victory to the. Carolina superstar who has dominated the track world this year. Waldrop. who led from start to finish, said "I did it for my teammates and for the fans. The fans spurred me on, and I wanted to do it for my teammates because I haven't run with them this year, and they expected me to do it. "I really hadn't planned to shoot for a record or even get under four minutes at first," said Waldrop. "But when they called out the time at the quarter (61 seconds), I knew 1 had a chance. I had a lot of bounce in my legs and good rhythm. 1 felt like running. I decided to push myself and really go after it." He did, running the final lap in 56.4. Finishing second to Waldrop was UNC freshman Tommy Ward of Chapel H illwho ran a career-best of 4:09. Waldrop immediately went to congratulate his younger teammate, after shattering the former ACC record of 4:02:3 set by Bob Wheeler of Duke last year. His next competition comes in two weeks, in the NCAA Championships at Detroit, where he will attempt to become the only man to ever run seven sub four minute miles in one indoor season. North Carolina had two surprise winners. Sam Beasley leaped 24-4 34 to upset Maryland's Bill Goodman in the long jump and freshman footballer Mike Voight zipped to a 7.4 to win the 60 yard high hurdles. Beasley also came in second to Maryland's Andy Bilmanis in the triple jump with 49-7 34 and fourth in the 60-yard dash. Bilimanis set a new meet record of 51-1 4 to bre;ik the old record set by Carolina's Darryl Kelly !: Mark Gaines finished third in the shot p ' behind State's 1-2 punch of John Hollad ;b Medlin. Kevin McLee ran a 2:13:2 to come in second in the 1,000 yard run. Dave Robinson was fourth in the pole vault at 14-6. Dave Hamilton finished fourth in the two mile run with 9:03:2 as Steve Wheeler and Scott Eden ol Duke and Jim Wilkins of Slate all broke the old record of 8:48:7 set by Eden last year. Wheeler won the event in 8:36:1. Carolina came in third in the mile relay at 3:24:4. Stic kmen beat Maryland ciu b by John Oooley Sports Writer The Carolina lacrosse team exploded to a 1 1-4 third-quarter lead, then hung on in the final period to win 1 2-9, in a pre-season game Lacrosse Club Friday afternoon. A crowd of over 150 looked on as junior attackman, Bert Fett led the Tar Heels with a seven-goal performance on the windswept astroturf. Although Carolina controlled the ball well in the first half, they were unable to put the ball in the net, and trailed 2-0 going into the second period. Bert Fett finally broke the ice with only fifteen seconds gone in the quarter with an'unassisted goal to give the Tar Heels some momentum. Carolina then rallied to make it 3-3 at the half, with Fett adding two more goals with assists from freshman Rob Hollis. - . Carolina completely dominated play in the third quarter holding Maryland scoreless while sprinting to a 10-3 lead as the period ended. Again it was Fett who ignited the Tar Heels with a string of three unassisted goals, as Carolina was in the lead to stay. Midway through the stanza, a reserve of freshmen potential began to manifest itself with newcomers Hollis, John Donato and Steve Sartorio adding a tally each. Leading 1 1-4 in the final quarter. Coach X r X : i 9 r - vv ii V "WW The UNC Rugby Club began its season in impressive style by routing a visiting Louisburg junior college team 32-0 in a match here Sunday afternoon. Carolina completely dominated play in the scrum and th quick accurate passing of the backs kept the ball on Carolina's side of the field for most of the game. Louisburg was never able-to mount a serious threat. Doug Roser was outstanding in the backfield for Carolina, scoring three trys and Middie John Donato fakes past a Maryland clubber while looking for an open teammate downfield in action last Saturday as Carolina won a pre-season exhibition match. Regular season lacrosse .will soon get underway in a schedule that includes a televised match with defending national champion Maryland. (Staff photo by John Dodfey) Paul Doty decided to pull a starting goalie Chuck Wienstein. Maryland quickly took advantage of Doty's benevolence and narrowed the gap to 1 1-9. Fett secured the victory with his seventh goal in a penalty situation with Carolina having a man advantage. Although ragged at times, the team played well overall against a perennially strong Maryland Club team, that boasted a collection of former college Ail-Americans and the 1971 club championship. Carolina showed good ball control, taking 52 shots to 29 for Maryland and dominating ground balls. 42-20. They did have trouble at the midfield stripe, losing in the face-off department 17-8. Coach Doty pointed to his man-down defense as the major weakness, allowing five goals in the fourth period.

The Dunn native is a veteran of the World University Games, played last summer in Moscow. She was the only N.C. representative on the United States team. Mann is a junior math major. Allred cornered an all-state spot as a guard. For the regular season, 5-4 Allred has fulfilled the playmaking responsibilities for the Tar Heels in the point position. In late season she pulled a hamstring muscle, which limited her shooting, but she remained a team leader. Furthermore, the Greensboro product hit for an average of 12 points a game as the club's leading scorer. Last year out of Ragsdale High, Allred led her team as an all-state high school player. For Carolina. Mann and Allred have truly been a dynamic duo. Working together, the pair have initiated fast breaks and back-door plays for the Heels.

What is required is a new system whereby the administration will no longer be allowed to get away with its arbitrary and high-handed dealings, but will be forced to pay closer attention to the needs and opinions of students. A University Forum (13 faculty, 1 3 students, 1 3 administrationjto decide university policy is a viable way in which this can be done. Such a system has been adopted and works well in Europe. This will give the students power of initiative and reform and at last make student government what it. really should be. 1 ff U L, AA fo) pJ 3 n n La s b 0 LQ) Li IkH u tk. a) b
