Star performer for Howard University is Chapel Hill native Vadney Cotton. Cotton has averaged 14.3 points per game from the floor so far this season, and has hit 73 per cent of his free throws in eight games. Despite Cotton's efforts, the Bisons have won only three of their eight games, beating M.LT., Catholic University and Lockhaven College. South Carolina State downed Howard in the Bisons only ME AC outing so far this year. Gerald Glover leads the team in rebounding with 60. For Cotton, it will mark the return to the site where he practiced as a high school star at Chapel Hill High School. Pick-up games with Carolina players and students were a specialty of Cotton's, who perfected much of his one-on-one skill in Carmichael. The long hours of practice paid off for Cotton, who graduated from Chapel Hill in 1972 to win a scholarship at Washington, D.C. based Howard. He led District III of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association as a senior. About those ACC tlx . . . . Just in case anybody happened to notice, announcement of the ACC Tournament tickets wasn't made Thursday night. v The announcement was to be made during the UNC-Clemson basketball game, but due to the overwhelming response of Carolina students who signed up for the billets, Lloyd Scher and the rest of student government had to delay the big moment. "You' just wouldn't believe how maddening all this lottery business has been," stated Scher, who has been in charge of the selection and distribution of the tickets. "We'll just need some more time to get everything ready." Scher said that announcement of the winners will come at a home ACC basketball game in Feb. "Everyone should remember to hold on to their fall athletic pass," noted Scher. "If anyone has lost their pass, they should come by Suite C in the Carolina Union.

(Staff photo by Gary Lobraico) The 1975 version of the Carolina women's basketball team is a much younger team with a more difficult schedule than last year's. Only five members of the 15-player squad are returnees from last year, while eight of the members are freshmen. Coach Angela Lumpkin admits that "things may be a little rough at first" when her young team meets more experienced opponents. The Tar Heel women open their season against N.C. State in Raleigh this Monday night at 7:00. They will be led by senior stalwart Marsha Mann, who last year averaged 23 points and 14 rebounds a game. Dawn Allred, another high scorer for last year's team, will probably be sidelined for the State game due to injuries she received in an automobile accident during the holidays. Last year's team averaged 63 points a game while limiting their opponents to 5 1 points. In this way they racked up an 1 1-2 record during the regular season. Coach Lumpkin believes that this year's team has more talent than last year's, but faces a harder schedule, reducing the likelihood of doing as well. Despite the team's youth and inexperience, Coach Lumpkin finds herself in the enviable position of having Gaffisto cool atooMt all Ms. ' casttn NEW YORK (UP1) Invite Catfish Hunter to lunch these days, and inevitably the table talk will turn to the same, scintillating subject. . Only Hunter himself, it would seem, is bored with the constant talk aboot'Tug' money. "1 don't know what it feels like to be a millionaire," Hunter said Wednesday during a "Meet the Press" session the New York Yankees called for their prize new acquisition. "I haven't gotten any of the money yet:" Hunter even tried to minimize the incredible deal he consummated with the Yankees on New Year's Eve when he signed a five-year contract for somewhere between 3 and 4 million dollars. "On salary, I'm not making as much as some other pitchers," said Hunter, revealing that his annual salary called for $150,000. 44 1 can name five or six pitchers who are getting more than that." . It is somewhat ironic that the $150,000 figure is the same amount that Hunter borrowed from Oakland A's owner Charles Finley exactly;six years ago and turned into ' the root of the deep trotrWe between player ' and boss that eventually led to Hunter's historic freedom from the club. "I used the money for a 500-acre farm (in Ahoskie, N.C:), and it had been agreed verbally that I would pay Finley back $20,000 a year until it was all returned," Hunter said. "But when that season started he called me all the time and badgered me for ahe money. He always seemed to call on a day 1 was supposed to pitch, and then he would say he didn't realize it. He told me he needed the money to buy hockey and basketball teams.

When the season ended in October, I went home and sold 400 acres so I could pay back the debt. WI made up my mind after that that I couldn't trust him. I enjoyed playing with the Oakland A's, it was like a family to me. But you can't enjoy playing for an owner who treats you like an animal and who can trade you." Dressed in a light brown leisure suit with a bright sportshirt that was a Christmas present from his wife, Hunter said he felt the A's could win the American League West without him next season. "They've got two good, young pitchers in Glenn Abbott and Dave Hamilton who haven't had a chance.

This ES-minute novelty it a straightforward, al legedly unedited film record of Bruce'a next-tola St nightclub perform ance, made by John Magnuson at the Basin Street West In San Francisco lest than year before the performer died of an apparent drug over dose at the age of 40 in Au gust, 19M. THIS FILM offers, among other things, a unique opportunity to measure Bob Fosse and Dustin Hoffman's movie biography "Lenny" again1 he real McCoy; It should provide plenty of ammunition for those purists who consider "Lenny" an intolerable distortion of the facts of Brace's life and Dustin Hoffman's performance an inadequate reproduc tion of Bruce'a delivery style. That style quick, flex ible and canny is the film's best asset, as Bruce was mora or less cult fig ure who has been beard (on records) by relatively few people, and seen in person by even fewer. His dissection of the traditional sacred cows of American entertainment e.g., race, sex, bath room functions were punctuated with Yiddish phrases, "dirtv" words and a variety of ethnic ac cents. ONE MINUTE he's Imi tating the high whine of an Indignant wife, the next he's mumbling garbled syllables to suggest a tape recorder running back wards in a routine about thick-skulled gangsters chattering in the audience ' during the show. At the time the film was made, Bruce was over-., weight. In poor health at a result of bis heavy drug'' use, Dearly penniless, and virtually unable to get nightclub work la any -major dry except ' Saa Francisco because of his narcotics and obscenity . arrests and his reputation: ' as a sick comic and a troublemaker. down to Oakland and the Yankees (in the playoffs). We'll beat them." When the talk turned to performance, Hunter reckoned that his record bonus money and added responsibility wouldn't tend to psyche him out. . "I'm gonna go out like before and pitch one game at a time," he said, using one of sport's great cliches. "When you start worrying about what you're going to do, that's when you don't do your best. "Like in Oakland, the guys would always be fighting off the field, but when we got on the field we'd play together as a team." Did that mean, someone wanted to know, that Hunter would be lost without clubhouse bickering? "Maybe we'll start some fights here," he beamed before biting into a pastrami sandwich.

GreJRoes a team so full of talent, that the starting lineup is still a toss-up. Candidates for starting positions include proven players like Mann, Allred or B.J. Woodard. Others vying for positions include Jackie Allison, Joyce Patterson, Courtney Peck, Joan Leggett and Linda Matthews. "Though there are two or three others that could move in," added Lumpkin. Fans who appreciate a high scoring game with a lot of running and fast breaks will appreciate the kind of basketball played by the women Tar Heels. Lumpkin expects to use a lot of "player-to-player" defense, which is a Lumpkin term for the old man-to-man defense. They will also employ a 3-2 zone or a 2-2-1 zone on occasion. After the State game, the Carolina women will remain at home for a weekend of some of the season's stiffest competition when teams from Elon College, Western Carolina and East Carolina come to Chapel Hill for two days of tournament action, Jan. 17 and 18.
