It was mostly sunny skies for the Tar
Heels cf North Carolina as they whipped
the Demon Deacons cf Wake Forest 76
62 in the second game of the opening
round of the ACC championship
tournament Thursday.
With a win over Wake Forest, the Tar
Heels have earned the right to meet the
Maryland Terrapins in the 9 p.m. semi
final match tonight. Maryland humbled
seventh-seeded Duke by an 85-65 score in
the afternoon's opening match.
Carolina jumped on Wake in the
opening moments of play, building a 13-4
lead in the first five minutes. However,
Wake was able to shake off their
premature inhibition to challenge the Tar
Heel front court, coming back to catch
and subsequently overtake the Heels with
a 21-20 score.
Wake Forest, who hit for only 36 per
cent from the floor in the first half, was
able to keep up with the Tar Heels behind
the astounding shooting of the quick Skip

UNC also had their troubles mounting
a consistent offense in the first period of
play. Carolina went to four-corners
offense in the final 30 seconds of the half
to preserve a slim. 37-34 lead.
, Carl Tacy's Demons came storming
out of the lockerroom after th'e
intermission and built a blistering
barrage behind the outside shooting of
Tony Byers in a seesaw battle for the lead
in the opening moments of play in the
second half.
A stiff UNC man-to-man defense
negated a Wake Forest attempt at a four
corners delay. Smith went to the four
corners again with 6:23 remaining,
nourishing an eight-point 64-56 lead.
Carolina's stall antagonized the anxious
Deacs, who saw their season coming to a
rapid end and the Heels were able to pull
away with a 14-point victory.
Carolina's balanced scoring attack was
led by Darrell Elston with 21, Walter
Davis 16, Jones 15 and Kupchack 10. The
Heels shot a blistering 68 per cent in the
second half, winding up with 53.8 field
percentage for the game.

Jeff Jimeson, the Heels sophomore all
around standout, sprained an ankle in
practice and is the only source of concern to
the Blue team, which has dropped only two
meets this season.
Jimeson will perform on parallel bars and
rings, but will be out of the high bar and rings
competition because of the injury.
"Jeffs absence on floor and high bar will
probably make about a five-point difference
in our score, but it shouldn't really hurt our
chances overall," Sanders said.
After Friday's contest with William and
Mary, the Heels will take off for spring break
until March 13, when they will return to
campus to practice for the Southern
Intercollegiate Gymnastics League
championships, to be held here, March 28

SIGLs will be tuning up, and perfecting our
routines," Sanders said.
The Tar Heels, who were edged out of
second place in the SIGLs last year by the
Georgia Bulldogs, have a stronger squad
than ever before, and are strong contenders
for second this year, behind the Bengals of
LSU, the top-ranked team in the nation.
"We've come a long way since the last
Georgia meet," senior Ben Edkins said. "Our
injuries have healed, our routines are more
solid, and we've added a little flair."
Admission to tonight's meet in
Carmichael is free.

Tigers and the Milwaukee Bucks.
The telecasts are to be aired Saturdays
from 2-4 p.m.. two weeks following the
actual playing of each game. The Carolina
Maryland contest is scheduled to be shown
March 30. Currently, local stations 28 and II
are bidding for rights to televise the event.
The idea to have a televised schedule of
lacrosse games was initiated by Matthew
Swerdloff, a lawyer and head official of the
United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse
Association, to publicize the national
growth of Lacrosse. The Atlantic Coast
Conference is a prime target forexpamion.
At present, Maryland, Virginia, Carolina
and N.C. State field teams in the ACC.
Promoters of lacrosse feel the game has the
essential elements to attract spectator
interest. It is a fast-moving sport, lots of
action, hitting and an occasional altercation.
Football is over and basketball is waning
the season is ripe for something new and
exciting. The success of televised hockey
attests that spectators are crying out for fast
action sports.
Of course, there is the pecuniary incentive
that is always a good motivator for trying
something new. Carolina expects to net at
least $1,200 from television rights for the
Maryland game. Other ACC teams may
want to get a piece of the action.
Ultimately the growth of lacrosse in the
ACC is dependent on its development in
high schools. Currently, participation at this
level in North Carolina is virtually
nonexistent. The majority of the players at
Carolina are from out of state (primarily
from the Maryland, Long Island and New
England areas.
In its eight years of existence as a varsity
sport at UNC, lacrosse has had good teams,
almost always achieving national ranking in
or around the top 20. Last year's team was
17th.
A noticeable escalation of the program
has been seen in the last two years since the
arrival of coach Paul Doty who has
increased the emphasis on recruiting. The
Athletic Department has increased the
number of grant-in-aides available to
lacrosse candidates, which has helped Doty

North Carolina's tennis team continues a season-opening four match home
stand this weekend when the Tar Heels host Swarthmore and Eastern
Kentucky.
Swarthmore will be Saturday's opponent while Carolina will meet the
Colonels Sunday. Both matches are set for 2 p.m. on the varsity courts.
All-American Rich McKee and senior co-captain Rich Hardaway will
again man the top two singles spots for Carolina. Other probably singles
starters are sophomores Billy Brock and Tommy Dixon, senior Joe Garcia
and freshman David Oberstein.
Carolina will end the current home stand Tuesday against Penn State. The
Tar Heels will then hit the road for a two-match trip to Furman and the
University of Florida.

It shows you Europe as the Europeans see
in his recruiting efforts, but mostly Carolina
sells itself. Novelist Thomas Wolfe once
described Chapel Hill as "a charming and
unforgettable place with a good flavor of the
wilderness." This appeal seems to be a
valuable asset today.
This year's squad has lured a flock of
freshman talent, including four high school
All-Americas, from the confines of the
industrial North to complement a solid
nucleus from last year's team that lost only
four seniors to graduation.
Leading the Tar Heels will be junior
attackman Bert Fett, a Garden City native
who Coach Doty describes as a genuine AU
American candidate." Playing at both
midfield and attack last year. Doty said,
"Fett developed as a complete player who
could start on any team in the country and
do well."
Looking to the season's opener with
Maryland, the Tar Heels face a formidable
challenge. Carolina has never beaten the
Terrapins in lacrosse, coming closest in the
1970 campaign when a seventh-ranked Tar
Heel squad, led by All-Americans Harper
Peterson and Peter Cramer, was edged 10-K.
Last year's Tcrps were devastating en
route to the national championship, losing
only once to Virginia in the Heroes'
Tournament and demolishing opponents by
an average of 10 goals per game thereafter.
Maryland dominated the 1973 All-American
team with 10 of the 30 selections. Six of these
players are returning. Perhaps most notable
among them is freshman Frank Urso who
won first-team honors as a freshman and was
featured in a cover story in Sports
Illustrated.
Doty feels to win the game his team will
have to control the ball. "The team that wins
sets the pace," he said. This means coming
up with the ground balls, taking good shots
and getting the face-offs."
Regardless of the outcome, fans arc
assured of a chance to witness execution of
the finer points of lacrosse at its best. For
those not so interested in the finer points, but
with a clandestine craving for attention, here
is the opportunity to get on national
television without streaking.
