"Come on in " invited the intercom-like voice of Tim Stoddard, as I stood in the
doorway still closing my umbrella after a wet jaunt across the motel parking lot.
The husky Stoddard walked past the television, which blared advertisement of
the upcoming feature, "Wonder Woman." Somehow, this reporter couldn't avoid a
take-off reflection about herself:
"1 wonder what this woman hopes to find out?"
Such a thought passed quickly out of mind as the N. C. State forward, looking
like an oversized John Boy Walton, boomed over the telephone:
"Hey, Burl, the girl's here to see you"
Umbrella against the wall and raincoat removed. Hardly an opportunity to
glance around the spacious accomodations before Tim lumbered to the door to
answer a knock.
And...there was Burl. ..Tommy Burleson, all 7-4 of him, towering like the Empire
State Building over the 5-4 writer, who began to think of herself more as a munchkin
each minute.
Tirnmy, and Tommy, and Munchkin were soon joined by Steve Nuce, another
member of the no. 1 Wolfpack, who in a hasty entrance brought teammate Burl a
soft drink to accompany an evening sandwich:
"You must be the one from the Tar Heel Daily," Nuce interjected hurriedly,
lingering briefly in the doorway.
"It's the Daily Tar Heel," Munchkin clarified politely while Burl was offering to
share his sandwich. "No thank you, Tommy" and now to sit and talk.
During the next hour and a half the All-America, who now anticipates the UCLA
Bruins in Saturday's national semi-finals, certainly couldn't close the physical gap
of height. He eliminated another gap the personality behind the uniform..
"My height got me out of Avery County," he said firmly. "And, when 1 came to
college, 1 guess I was like an unpolished stone."
Tall Tom, with feet propped on one of the motel beds specially made to attract
traveling ball clubs, pointed to Stoddard now stretched out on the other bed reading
The Exorcist. '
"You take Timmy over there he played against some tough competition in high
school," Tom said. "1 just didn't have that. Then, 1 just had natural talents and
height. I've had to refine and mature those talents to play in this level of
competition."
"7-2's my honest height," he responded to the frequent exaggerations. "I was
pretty normal in the sixth grade, but then I grew four inches several years in a row."
"Burleson said most girls He dates are between 5-4 and 5-9 in height. "I once dated a
girl who was 6-2, but she was so inhibited about her height it bothered me."
Though interested in economics and the stockmarket, as a business major,
Burleson expressed an absolute desire to pursue professional basketball in N.C.,
calling it his home. He has been pegged by the Carolina Cougars along with UNC's
Bobby Jones in an American Basketball Association secret draft.
Many sports writers and fans have speculated about Burleson's thoughts about
not making first team all-conferenHe, spoke to the subject:
"1 don't reallyiiave anything to.sayabout that. F&eacd before actual voting. that
McMillan and myself would probably be on the second team."
"Walton's very physical," Burleson began. "He uses his weight to an unbelievable
advantage, constantly running into you." Comparing Walton with Elmore he said:
"They play a lot alike, rebounding and defensively, butl don't think Elmore is noted
as much for his offensive. Walton is much more explosive."
The most underrated player he's encountered? Darrell Elston is the answer.
"I think he's a great player. He's been one of the key factors in the UNC offense
especially with his percentage shooting from the outside. He ran guard so well and
you hardly hear about his game. I don't think he got enough recognition."
Burleson looks back with satisfaction at the UNC-State rivalry, although
admitting that some people carry it to the extreme.
"It's easy to get up for a game against Carolina. Just walking into the coliseum
was enough to get ready. We always know that we have to play our best to come out
on top." .
A congenial fellow, considerate and very humble that's what Tom Burleson
seems to be. He's also got a sense of humor relating this brief story about his height:
"I met this drunk guy in Shoney's one night. I came through one door of a narrow
hallway and he staggered through a second. We met halfway. He started at my feet
and went up with his eyes and fell over backward onto the floor. I didn't know what
to say."
The room TV, still blaring, indicated that "Wonder Woman" was over, as this
reporter, gathering her notebook and umbrella, no longer wondered about the
person behind the Red and White 24.

Tennis fans will get their chance to see North
Carolina in action today at 2 p.m. as the Tar Heels
host Gncinnati on the varsity courts ... if the rain
holds off.
North Carolina, defending ACC champion, has
been able to keep out of the rain so far this season.
While the rain fell on Chapel Hill Friday along with
a sudden chill in the weather, the Heels trounced
Southern Conference member Davidson in blazing
fashion.
Carolina blanked the Wildcats, 9-0, the seventh
shut out of the ycir by the Heels who now have run
their record up to seven wins and one defeat. The
one loss came against powerful Florida in a match
played on the Gators home courts in Gainesville.
Rich McKee kept his record on the number one
court unblemished winning his eighth singles match
of the year when he defeated Davidson's Bill Allen,
6-2, 6-0. On the number two court, Rich Hard away
downed Rich Quinby 6-1, 6-3 while Billy Brock
took the third singles away from Davidson's Gary
Bressler 6-3, 6-4.
Tommy Dixon, Joe Garcia and David Oberstein
all won their matches to round out the singles.
Dixon and Garcia won 6-3, 6-3 and 6-1, 6-1
respectively while Oberstein had to fight his way
past John Mitchell, 3-6, 6-2, 7-6.
McKee and Brock continued their winning ways
at the first doubles spot, wiping out AHen-Quinby 6
1, 6-2. Hardaway-Dixon won their number two
doubles match 6-3, 6-3 as Bill Correll and Flag
Flannig3n teamed up at the third spot to capture the
last doubles match 6-2, 6-1.

Finally! The UNC track team opens
its season against Clemson tomorrow
afternoon at 1:30 on Fetzer Field.
This will be the Tar Heels' first meet
since the ACC indoor championship
February 23 at College Park, Md. Most
of the other spring sports started at least
a week ago.
Saturday was supposed to be the first
appearance of Tony Waldrop before the
home folks but he will not ran as
expected in order to rest for the Florida
Relays at Gainesville next weekend.
Waldrop did not run at home during
indoor season because he was
crisscrossing the nation; Richmond,
New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles
and San Diego. The only time Chapel
Hill residents will definitely get to see
this record-setting runner will be the
ACC outdoor championship May 13-14
when school is over.
Aside from Clemson there will be

North Carolina's baseball team will begin
a five game home series today at 2:30 p.m.
when the Tar Heels play host to Pembroke
University's Camels in Cary Boshamer
Stadium.
The Heels will be trying to bounce back
from an upset loss to Virginia Tech this
week. Carolina had defeated the Gobblers
21-1 in their initial meeting then fell to V.P.I.
, by the surprising score of 9-0.
Saturday, Carolina will host Appalachian
. State University at 2 p.m. and will then host
Western Carolina Sunday, also at 2 p.m.
Western Michigan will visit Chapel Hill
next Tuesday afternoon at 2:30, then the Tar
Heels will play at home for the last time that
week when they host High Point College in
Boshamer at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Thursday of next week the Heels will
make the short journey over to Durham to
take on the Duke Blue Devils in a 3 p.m.
meeting in Duke Stadium.

competition, 9 122 12 at Finley Golf
Course.
It was the first match of the season for
Coach Jeanne Eller's crew, who will be
involved in a triangular match March 28
with Furman and UNC-G, two of the best
teams in the Southeast.
Carolina Rugby
North Carolina's valiant men in blue, the
Tar Heel Ruggers, will travel to Raleigh
Saturday to face the rusty red rascals known
as the Wolfpack in an action-packed affair
set for a noon showdown on the field below
the NCSU forestry school.
State's ruggers, affectionately called "the
Red-Necked Ruffians of Raleigh', have
always been a thorn in the side of Carolina's
1 1 and the Blues have sworn an oath upon
Thomas of Canterbury's grave to wipe the
Rouges of Reynolds from the memory of
humanity.
Beer and festivities will follow the
exhibition of athletic power and prowess by
the Blues.

only one other dual meet this season.
"Track has pretty much come down to
relays in the past few years," said coach
Joe Hilton. "Relays are more
spectacular and more interesting. They
involve more teams, use more men and
have different types of races.
Clemson was fifth in the conference
last year and the Tigers did not score
well in the indoor championships a
month ago. Despite their mediocrity,
however, Clemson does have some
outstanding individuals in the field
events and sprints.
Ed Fern has high jumped 6-1 1 which
places him among the national leaders.
Bruce Brown and Neal Gerard provide
stiff competition for Carolina's Sam
Beasley in the broad and triple jumps.
Brown and Gerard have both leaped 24'
and 46' in the jumps, respectively. Gene
Horit has run a 9.8 in the 100 yard dash.
Carolina will be strong in the weights,
distances and jumps but will be hurt by
the loss of middle distance runner Kent
Tavlor due to an iniurv. Also. Mi ice
l'
-
Voight will not compete in the high
hurdles because of spring football
practice; however Hilton hopes Voight
will be available later on in the season.
Senior co-captain Danny Deacon and
Dave Robinson will man the pole vault
for the Tar Heels. Deacon was out most
of the indoor season with an injury but
still managed to vault 15-6.
Footballers Mark Gaines and Terry
Taylor provide strength in the shot put
and discus. Gaines finished .third in the
ACC indoor championship with a put of
50-1 while Taylor has finished in the top
three in the discus every year he has
thrown.
Freshman star Tommy Ward and
Mike Garcia will try to make up for
Waldrop's absence in the mile. Ward
was a surprise second place finisher
behind Waldrop in the indoor
championships with a time of 4:09.
William Southerland and Mike
Stratford will run the 880. Dave
Hamilton will be competing in the three
mile run.
