Everybody gets the D.T.'s once in a while.
by ElHott Warnock
Sports Editor
It be really embarrassing to have a social disease.
You know . . . people whispering all the time when
you stagger past, your personal life is shot all to hell
because wherever you go, there will always be people
who know who you are and what your problem is.
And of course, worst of all, you have to live with all
the horrible, hampering symptoms; blurred vision,
seeing double, a tired, dragged-out feeling and
hallucinations of impossible feats and manifestations.
In short people: a case of the D.T.s.
Oh yes... the D.T.s; a vernacufar abbreviation of
the Latin cognate, Davidus Thompsonitis, which
everyone knows is an off-shoot of the horrible Lupii
Grex (a group of wolves, i.e., the Wolf pack).
Perhaps this has been beaten to . death, but it's
common knowledge that North Carolina State has not
lost an Atlantic Coast Conference game since the
varsity arrival of David Thompson and Monte To we.
Going undefeated in the bone-tough ACC for just
one season is a phenomenal enough feat for any team;
usually it's reserved for national champions, but State
has decided not only to go undefeated in the ACC
once, not just to go undefeated all of last year, but to go
for two undefeated conference sweeps in a row.
(Gasp . . . )
The loss to UCLA delivered a death blow to State's
shot at an undefeated season on the way to the NCAA
title, but since that time the Wolfpack has acted like a
team on fire, mainly due to the incredible defensive and
offensive prowess of one David Thompson.
Just one?
Most people never get a chance to see David
Thompson unless he's standing at the foul line. Mostly
he's just a blur on offense which makes most defensive

opponents a little shaky on their feet. On defense it
seems like there are two Thompsons on occasion, and
nobody knows better than his adversaries.
"Everyone knows that Towe and Thompson showed
up on the scene and nobody's beaten them since,"
comments Carolina's head coach Dean Smith. I n fact,
I think it's a real tribute to our players that we've
played as closely as we have to them in the earlier part
of the season."
So far, the two ACC opponents have played as close
as Siamese twins. In the Big Four Tournament in
Greensboro, the initial meeting between the two rivals
this season, the game was decided on a last-second shot
which eventually came up in favor of the Wolfpack.
The game was so close that State's Towe said
afterwards "that game was really a tie. II it's possible to
have a tie in basketball, that was it."
Many observers of ACC action thought Carolina's
time had come when the then-second-ranked Pack
visited Carmichael Auditorium in January. Not quite
. . .Toweputonabrokenfielddribblingexhibitionto
keep the ball away from the desperate Tar Heels and
State managed to keep its streak of wins ocr North
Carolina intact.
Perhaps one of the most important things to
remember about this year's version of the Tar Heels is
that it has played its best ball on the road, the only
exception to the rule being a rough loss to Marland
before a raging group of Terrapin supporters in Cole
Field House.
Most experts still aren't buying the "Far Heels
though; some betting sheets have put the potential
Carolina deficit into double figures.
Smith reaches behind his desk to pull out a
prediction sheet, laughs and says, "you know, looking
at this green sheet, they've written that we're about a
1 5-point underdog to State . . .this definitely has to be
considered the toughest game on our schedule, playing
the number one team in the nation on their home court
in Raleigh."
Smith is well aware of the fact that omne de Nortus
Carolina est divided into three parts: State, Carolina,
and all the other guys in the league.
"Wc know it's going to be tough, but sure, we think
we have a chance or we would see no need for playing
basketball. You've always got to play to win. We have
everything to win and nothing to lose."
Sure . . . nothing to lose at all.
Except maybe a bad case of the D.T.'s.

The UNC women's tennis team will head
for the courts once again, this Wednesday in
Tallahassee, Fla. as they begin their spring
season.
The Tar Heels were undefeated in fall
play, and Coach Frances Hogan feels the
team is ready for the spring season.
"The girls have been working very, very
hard," Hogan said, "and 1 think they're in
good shape physically. 1 think they've
worked as hard as any group I've ever had,
and 1 think we'll have a good season."
The Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics for Women ( AL A W) allows a team,
to schedule 14 matches each year, and
Carolina will be looking to repeat or better
their 1 3-1 mark of last season. The only loss
came at the hands of Duke, which seems to
be even stronger this year.
Ickets and : other joys
Tickets for the NQPafcaie go;;
on sale today at 5 p.m. at the Carmichael
ticket office.
The Duke game, to be played at 1
p.m. March 2 in Carmichael, is UNC's
final regular season game of the year.
The UNC bowling team beat Virginia and
Maryland recently in a pair of road games.

rolled a 732 in three games, scoring 210, 247
and 275, leading the Tar Heels to a 60 to 30
victory.
Fraser will receive the "700" award and the
Century Award from the American Bowling
College for shooting 100 pins over his
average.
Later in the week, the Heels rolled over
the Wahoos, 65 to 25, upping their overall
record to six wins and three losses.
"In North Carolina, Duke is the only team
that will give us any trouble," Hogan said.
"They are a real strong team and have
improved over last year, but we've improved,
also. I think we can beat them."
Duke is just one of the many tough foes
the Tar Heels will face during the season.
Miami, Vanderbilt, . Rollins, Virginia, and
Furman, all are early Carolina opponents.
Just .before the North Carolina AIAW
Tournament, to be held in Chapel Hill April

Other returnees include junior Stewart
Smith. Kay Kernodle and Lillian Murray,
both of whom are seniors.
Carolina's chances will be enhanced with
the addition of three promising freshmen.
Rebecca Garcia. Jean Scott, and three-time
state high school champ Nina Cloaninger
will combine with UNCs veterans to provide
an awesome challenge for Tar Heel
opponents.
Echoing the words of the men's tennis
coach last week. Coach Hogan said there
was a definite need for more tennis facilities
at Carolina.
"There's no question that more courts are
needed," Hogan said. "With the varsity
teams and all the UNC students who like to
play, it's just too crowded."
