tSocKtry, Jaway 13, 1575 CaroMnaa Ibtete Howard!, 1(0)967 A winning streak of two games by Elliott Wsmock Sports Editor North Carolina, whose' basketball team could prove to be the biggest enigma in the history of the ACC, won its last two games in typical fashion: crazily. The Tar Heels hosted Clemson last Thursday night, and dropped to a 16 point behind before surging towards a 74-72 victory. Howard University, the first predominantly black school to meet any ACC team on the hardwoods, was next on the Carolina stat sheets. Carolina blasted Howard's: Bisons right out of Carmichael Auditorium, 109-67, but not before Chapel Hill' native Vadnay Cotton threatened4 to throw a little homecoming party. The 6 6 junior forward hit four of his first five shots, sending Howard to a 8-0 lead before the Tar Heels could get him untracked. Cotton was tagged with four fouls in the first half, and with their leading scorer on the bench, the Bisons fell from one-point down to a 21 -point deficit. Three other Howard players found themselves in foul trouble with over 10 minutes to play. Gerald Clover, Michael Nettles and Jeff Taylor. v Giving "up a noticeable amount of height, (the Bisons tallest man was the 6-6 Taylor), Howard didn't score a basket the last four minutes of the game. .The height charts were reversed on Carolina when the Heels took on Swimmers beat ECU The UNC men's swimming and divingj team made an astounding comeback! Saturday as they beat East Carolina 59-54 in! Bowman Gray Pool. v Carolina trailed 37-24 before scoring 35 points in the next seven events to take the meet from the pesky Pirates. ECU failed to win a first place in any of those events and could only manage a third-place finish in three of them. Although the Tar Heels captured eight firsts, East Carolina led most of the way. The Pirates gained an early 7-0 lead when UNCs medley relay team of Mark List, Jody Inglefield, Alan Toll and Steve McDonald was disqualified for a false start. Rich DeSelm and Karl Thiele won the 1000 and 200 freestyle events, respectively,' but ECU's John McCauley and Gary Pabst Tennis meeting Tennis coach Don Skakle will hold a meeting today at 4 p.m. in room 304 of Woollen Gym for all persons interested in trying out for the 1975 varsity tennis team.

After Jim Seitz and Tom Craige had gone 1-3 for UNC in the one-meter diving and M ike Bretting and J im Ruedlinger went 1-2 for ECU in the 200 butterfly, the Pirates attained their biggest lead of 37-24. Mike Reock teamed with McDonald to start the Tar Heels on tKe comeback trail. Their 1-2 in the 100 freestyle pulled Carolina within 38-32. List and Dave Marlin went 1-2 in the 200 breastroke to give UNC a 40-39 lead. DeSelm became one of Carolina's two double winners with his victory in the 500 freestyle. ECU took second and third in that event, however, to remain within 45-43. Inglefield and Thiele then combined to go 1 2 in the 200 breastroke and put the Tar Heels within four points of a victory. Seitz, UNCs other double winner, and Craige went 1-3 in the three-meter diving to give Carolina an unbeatable 59-47 lead. ECU's victory in the 400 freestyle relay put the final score at 59-54. The Tar Heels, who are now 3-2, will swim at home again Friday. Carolina will take on top-five ranked Tennessee in a 2 p.m. meet. : Kevin Barris Clemson. Tree Rollins, Clemson's 7-0 sophomore wonder, clogged the lane all night against the Tar Heels and even coach Dean Smith's all-purpose four corners offense couldn't penetrate. Clemson's frosh guard, Skip Wise, came into Carmichael shooting as if he was in the O.K. Corral. When the Heels woke up from the initial shock, they were down 16 points. It took the combined scoring efforts of freshman Phil Ford, soph forward Walter Davis and center Mitch Kupchak to pull the Heels within, striking distance in the first half. Soph guard John Kuester cut the gap to five points, hitting on a long jumper with scant seconds to play in the first period. Carolina had to fight tooth and nail to get closer, but with two minutes left, Clemson had a 72-71 lead and was holding the ball in a time consuming spread . offense. Rollins, fouled by Kupchak with 1:45 to play, gave the Heels their biggest break of the night, as he missed both free throws. With 1:06 to play, Davis hit on a 25 foot jumper to send UNC into a 73-72 lead. Stan Rome gave Carolina big break number two as he was called on a charge, turning the ball over to the Heels with 0:18 left in the game. Many dribbles, a four-corners and 16 seconds later, the Tigers finally fouled UNC to stop the clock. Kuester hit one free throw to make it 74-72; then, Kupchak tapped the ball out to mid court, following the missed toss by Kuester to end the game. Davis led Carolina in scoring against Clemson with 19. Ford and Kupchak followed with 18 apiece. Kupchak led the game in rebounding, (that's right, he beat Rollins on the boards,) with 20 to Rollins' nine. The Tar Heels had 22 turnovers as compared with Clemson's 10, but Carolina did better against Howard. Passing the ball like the 1971 Tar Heels, Carolina had 26 turnovers but tallied 32 assists. Howard had 30 turnovers and nine assists. V Steeler running back Franco Harris hasds for tha corner cf tha cndrsna to score Pittsburgh's first TD in Super Bowl IX.
