A dejected Foster
has Duke doldrums
by Jim Thomas
Asst. Sports Editor
Normally, the press is let into the
lockerroom after a brief post-game waiting
period, but Saturday the doors remained
closed for approximately 20 minutes while;
the Duke players and coaches fought off the
disappointment of a 74-70 loss to North
Carolina on their home court.
Inside, a disconsolate Bill Foster sat
before reporters with his head bowed. His
Blue Devils had played 33 minutes of good
basketball only to let victory slip away in the
last seven minutes of the game due to Phil'
Ford's execution of the four corners and
their own inability to score.
"Our shooting stats in the last 10 minutes
must have been 10 per cent," lamented
Foster. "Our free throws were not
spectacular either." After shooting 50 per
cent in the first half, the Blue Devils missed
10 of their last 1 1 shots from the floor and
made only three of 10 free throws in the
second half as the Tar Heels pulled away in
the four corners offense from a 60-60 tie with
seven minutes remaining to a 71-62 lead at
the 1:54 mark.
"We got the ball back early a couple of
times in the four corners but we could not get
the rebound " said Foster. "That has been
our problem all year long. We defensed the
four corners okay, but our biggest problem
was we could not come down and score.
The job of guarding the elusive Ford in the
four corners fell to freshman backcourter
Kenny Young, who had entered the game at
the 13:03 mark of the first half to give the
Blue Devils a lift with 10 points.
Young managed to stay with Ford for the
most part but had to leave the game with a
leg cramp with less than Five minutes
remaining. With Young out, Ford scored
eight points on foul shots and drives up the
Quarterback Elam leads Blues
to an 8-3 victory over Whites
Sophomore quarterback Johnny Elam found himself eating steak Friday night as a
reward for winning the outstanding offensive player award and leading the Blue team to
an 8-3 victory in the annual North Carolina spring football game.
The losing White team had to settle for baloney and beans.
Elam's statistics for the game were impressive.
He scored the game's only touchdown in the third quarter on a 16-yard against-the-grain
run and also succeeded on the two point conversion attempt with a dive over right
tackle. In addition, the Charlotte native completed four of seven passes aftd'gained 47
yards on eight carries.
The Whites, sporting such stars as Mike Voight, Jim Betterson and Rod Broadway,
could only produce a first period 26-yard field goal by Tom Biddle.
Junior transfer Pat DeStefano, the game's outstanding defensive player, led the Blue's
defensive surge with several key tackles and a pass interception from his linebacking
position.
Despite the exciting scrambling efforts of White quarterback Johnny Stratton,
DeStefano and Company fought off a hectic last minute rally to secure the win.
White tailbacks Voight and Betterson, who each gained over 1000 yards rushing in
1974, were held to 84 and 60 yards respectively.
Other strong performances were turned in by Mel Collins and Kippy Davis from the
tailback position, and Mark Griffin, Dee Hardison and Broadway from the line play.

Eight UNC- swim records fell by the
wayside this weekend, as the Tar Heels had
their most outstanding meet of the season
and finished second in the Atlantic Coast
Conference (ACC) Swimming and Diving
Championships held in Raleigh.
Host team North Carolina State won its
fifth straight ACC title, and its ninth in the
last 10 years, racking up 668 points. UNC
had 423 points, 100 points closer to the
Wolfpack than last year. Maryland was third
with 279, Virginia had 238, Wake Forest 102,
Duke 101 and Clemson 52.
Karl Thiele was Carolina's most
outstanding swimmer. The Norfolk, Va.
junior set school records in four events and
qualified for the NCAA championships in
five. Thursday he set the school record in the
200 individual medley (IM) with a 1:57.27.
Thiele finished second in the event to State's
Eddy Houchin.
Thiele's other records came in the 100 and
200 breaststroke and on the first leg in the
400 freestyle relay. Thiele finished second in
both breaststroke events, and combined with
Alan Toll, Mike Reock and Steve
McDonald to set a school record in the 400
freestyle relay. Thiele's time of 0:47.4 in his

"Ford is really tough to cover"
commented Young. "His confidence has
been built up since the beginning of the year.
Ford is playing about the same but his team
is letting him do more things in the four
corners now. Walter Davis did most of the
ball-handling early in the season. Now when
you speak of North Carolina and the four
corners you speak of Phil Ford.
"I tried to keep in front of him and get the
five second count. I almost had him a couple
of times but he got it off to Kuester. We tried
to keep the pressure on everybody else. I
thought we did a pretty good job against the
four corners but those fouls really hurt us"

DURHAM The Atlantic Coast
Conference (ACC) regular season is over.
The preliminaries are complete. UNC head
basketball coach Dean Smith acknowledged
this uneasy reality after his team's 74-70 win
over Duke last Saturday.
"The next one is the most important game
of our schedule," the 14-year Carolina coach
said outside the visitors dressing room in
Cameron Indoor Stadium.
"I'm pleased for this team to finish in a tie
for second," he continued. "But of course we
all knew when it (regular season) started,
that the ACC champion is the winner of the
tournament." Carolina will play Wake
Forest Thursday in the first round of the
ACC Tournament.
To key the win over Duke, freshman Phil
Ford led the Tar Heels in a crucial use of the
four corners spread offense and scored 22
points, 18 of which came in the second half.
Matching teammate Ford's 22 points was
sophomore Walter Davis, who at the 6:47
point in the second half put Carolina ahead
by two, 62-60, after it went into the four
corners less than a minute earlier.
"That was very key basket," said Smith,
noting that tall forwards Mitch Kupchak
and Ed Stahl each carried four fouls, and
sophomore Tommy LaGarde had already
left the game with the five-foul maximum
early in the half (16:12).
Overall, the game was close until UNC
gradually nudged in front in the spread
offense, orchestrated by Ford. Gaining the
momentum while Duke shooting went cold,
the Rocky Mount guard maneuvered for at
least eight points in the final seven minutes.
The Blue Devil team, itself, scored only four
points from 8:13 to 1:44.
For Duke, the loss was a disappointing
finale for seniors Bob Fleischer, who scored
24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, Kevin x
Billerman, Pete Kramer and Bill Suk.
Duke seriously threatened to upset the
Heels, leading the last 10 minutes of the first
half and going into the lockerroom break
with a three-point 39-36 cushion. Duke
freshman Ken Young seemed to enliven the
Devils when he first entered the contest with
tournament.
Krause, a New York junior, broke a
conference record by going undefeated in the
round-robin competition. Krause downed,
17 other foilsmen on his way to his third
straight ACC title.

they defeated Ann Flint and Sissie Collins
land Rollins 5-7, 6-4, 6-2. To get into
Sunday's semi-final round, Hamilton and
Preyer upset Miami's Jody Appelbaum and
Diane Armao 6-2, 6-2. Rollins' Beverly
Buckley and Linda Wert ended the UNC
duo's shot at a fifth tournament title with a 6
3, 7-5 victory. Buckley and Wert won the
doubles title.
j In singles, only Preyer advanced beyond
the second round. She defeated Tina Price of
Georgia (6-3, 6-2), Sylvia Baldwin of Mary
Baldwin (6-1, 6-0) and Jenny Glober of
Tennessee (6-0, 6-1) before losing to Wert 6-2,6-2.

second place in the Atlantic Coast
Conference with North Carolina

Carolina State.

Greensboro, the .coin flip was necessary
to decide pairings for the ACC Tourney

Carolina State all finished regular season

put the Tar Heels behind league-leading
Maryland, foljowed by Clemson and

Dave Griffen of Maryland. All had 14-3
records.
In the tie-breaking fence-off, each won
one bout, but Brown was declared the
winner on bout indicators (the ratio of
touches "for" to touches "against"). Knight,
last year's champion, placed second.
Carolina won by the biggest margin in
ACC history, finishing 26 bouts ahead of
second-place Maryland, 121-95. Duke
finished third with 75, N.C. State had 60,
Virginia 55, and Clemson 53. Wake Forest

While Krause, Brown and Knight all had
excellent afternoons, the most remarkable
single performance came from sophomore
sabreman A.J. Keane.
Keane, last year's North Carolina amateur
champion, shattered his elbow last summer
and was forced to fence lefthanded this
season. After a good showing in last week's
North Carolina amateur tournament, Keane
was elevated by Coach Ron Miller to a
starting role for the tournament. It was only
his second start of the year.
He responded with a dazzling 14-3 record,
tieing teammates Travis Hanes. Thurbert
