Sports lllustrated's Nov. 29 issue
claims that Marshall Coach Bob
Daniels "would put his student manager
in uniform rather than dress 13 players
for a game." Spectators in Carmichael
Auditorium Wednesday night should
check it out. For Daniels will need all
the assistance Lady Luck can muster, be
it rabbits feet, four-leaf clovers or ball
boys sporting Thundering Herd jerseys.
Fact is, Marshall is undefeated and
playing a UNC team that has a 1-1
record tonight at 8 p.m. But Daniels and
most everybody else is aware that a
surprisingly narrow 79-76 win over
Otterbein doesn't immediately jack the
Herd into the national power category.
Junior college transfer, Greg Young,
a 6-fopt-4 swingman, led the Marshall
team in scoring in its opener Saturday,
scoring 34 points. As a sophomore at

Tmett-McConnell in Cleveland last
year, he averaged 22 points and 10
rebounds per game.
Young's running mate at guard is
junior Charlie Novak. At 6-foot-2 and
170 pounds, Novak is the smallest
starter on the Herd squad. Last season,
he averaged 8.4 points per game, but
more importantly, was credited for 41
assists for the year. Playing the position
of big guard a year ago, Novak has
assumed duties as the team quarterback
upon graduation of Joe Hickman.
The forwards both stand 6-foot-7
Harley Major and David Miller. Major,
a junior transfer from Allegheny
Community College, weighs in at 205
pounds, while Miller is a 210-pounder.
Miller was injured a great deal during
the season a year ago, yet he still
managed to average 14.4 points a game
and 7.5 rebounds. He's also a 52 per cent
shooter from the floor.
The center position is filled by 6-foot-

O'Koren, who scored 35 points and grabbed
nine rebounds for 3rd-ranked North
Carolina during the first two games of his
college career, Tuesday was named Atlantic
Coast Conference Basketball Rookie of the
Week.
O'Koren hit seven of nine field goal
attempts and all six free throws in the Tar
Heels 97-96 overtime loss to Wake Forest
Saturday night in the championship game of
the Big Four Tournament.
9 Mike Marz. Marz started in half of the
Herd's games last year, breaking his
hand early in the season.
First off the bench for Daniels' squad
are guards Ross Scaggs and Barry
Hamler and forward Tom Liebig.
The Thundering Herd hopes to make
life this winter in Huntington, W.Va. a
bit more pleasant than in winters past.
During Daniels' first year as head coach
in 1974-75, Marshall split a 26-game
schedule down the middle, 13-13. Last
season, it was a 27-game slate and the
extra contest was an extra loss to give
Daniels a 26-27 career record there. It's
a record he hopes to improve upon this
season.
But odds are that the Herd's game
with Carolina won't exactly start the
ball rolling. Dean Smith's Tar Heels,
despite suffering a loss to Wake Forest
in the finals of the Big Four Tournament
Saturday night, played well for the most
part during the two-day event and will
probably use the Marshall game to work
on trouble spots and give the reserves
some playing time.
"Had the opening game began against
someone else, I would have played more
people," Smith said after UNC's Friday
win over N.C. State. "I'm really mad at
myself. We will play more people in our
next few games."
And if there are just 13 players
making the trip to Chapel Hill for
Marshall's Thundering Herd, chances
are that Bob Daniels will play someone
extra, too.

The UNC women's basketball team
showed signs of good things to come
Tuesday night in Carmichael Auditorium, as
it defeated Division I rival Appalachian
State, 70-62, in the opening game of the
season for both teams.
Cathy. Shoemaker led the Tar Heel attack
with 22 points, nearly all of which came on
10-foot jumpers from tight traffic in the lane.
The other big contribution came from
freshman Bernadette McGlade, who pulled
down 19 rebounds twice as many as
anyone else and scored 14 points.
Carolina led for the entire second half but
saw a 12-point lead chopped down to. one
with eight minutes to go, at 53-52.
Appalachian State had one chance to take
the lead, but Alison Hiltz missed and
Shoemaker came down to hit one of her
typical left-handed jumpers. And the Lady
Apps never got closer the rest of the way.
ASU missed a one-end-one and a floor
attempt in its next two possessions, while
Cathey Daniels was feeding Joan Leggett
after her steal and also scoring herself to up
the count to 59-52 with five minutes left.
Carolina led 65-56 two minutes later, but
ASU scored two quick buckets on a Hiltz
follow and a Madeline Frosch 20-foot bank
shot Shoemaker hit two foul shots, but
Frosch came back on a follow of her own
shot to make it 67-62 with 1:16 left.
But a semispread offense whittled down
the 30-second clock for the Tar Heels until
Leggett hit from the corner to ice the victory
with 30 seconds remaining.
The beginning of the game was no
indication of the outcome as Carolina did
not get its first score of the season until
almost five minutes had been played and
they had fallen behind, 8-0.
Leggett hit with 15:20 left for the first two,
and Daniels anf Shoemaker scored to make
it 8-6. Carolina finally tied the game at 10 on
McG lade's two free shots with 12:42 left.
The lead changed hands four times in the
next six minutes until three straight Tar Heel
baskets Shoemaker scored two and
assisted on the other pushed them in front,
23-19. The teams exchanged baskets until
the half, which ended with Carolina ahead,
31-27.
Appalachian experienced a spell similar to
the one the Tar Heels had at the beginning to
open the second half. It took the Lady Apps
nearly four minutes to score while UNC was
knocking in ten points. ASU did not even get
a shot off because of the Tar Heels'
aggressive defense until Carolina had gotten
three baskets. McGlade and Shoemaker got
the points during the spurt, as Carolina
opened up their 12-point lead. But careless
play set in for the home team and ASU, led
by Cheryl Brewer's jumpers, soon cut the
lead back to one.
Carolina Coach Angela Lumpkin was
quite happy with her team's play, especially
before the statewide television audience.
"We had the first-game jitters at the
beginning. We were very tight," she said.
"But we didn't stop hustling. That just shows
that if you keep playing good defense, the
offense will come out soon."
Lumpkin said she felt that all eight girls
that played did a "super job. She said that
having a true center, McGlade, for the first
time added a new dimension to the attack.

Short and young J.V.'s open
against Fork Union Military

When Dave Hanners took the job of
junior varsity basketball coach at
Carolina, he was attempting to gain
some experience to help him for a career
for coaching in the high school ranks.
Tonight, Hanners will receive his
baptism of fire. J
The Tar Heel junior varsity opens its
10-game schedule in Carmichael
Auditorium as a prelude to the UNC
Marshall contest. The junior varsity will
face Fork Union Military Academy at
5:45 p.m.
Hanners feels he has some good talent
on his team, but much like the days
when Kentucky's Adolph Rupp guided
his 'Runts through the NCAA year
after year, Hanners will be facing
basically the same problem lack of
height.
The former Tar Heel star will be
coaching a team which consists mainly
of freshmen, walk-ons and a 6-foot-4
center. Despite the shortcomings,
Hanners feels his crew can face up to the
task.
"We're not gonna be a powerful
team," Hanners said. "We lack size and
strength inside. We'll have to rely on
execution."
Hanners noted that through the
practices, the team has made some
progress, and that their performances
have been "pretty decent."

"They've made a lot of progress, and
really picked up things well," he said.
"They will get better as the season goes
along and as they play with each other."
' Meanwhile, Fork Union comes to
Chapel Hill with a team with a little
f. more experience than the Tar Babies,
and with two high school recruits,
something that Hanners and assistant
cpach Eddie Fogler admitted was
unusual for a military academy.
Though not indicating a starting
lineup, Hanners said he expected a lot of
work from returnees Bill Try on, Fred
league, George Forrest and "Randy
Jones, the team's tallest player. Support
from the bench will include Tim Lucas,
Ed Tillett, Pat McElhaney and Mike
Elliott.
The team's onlv method of
f I Recruitment was through taking out an
ad in the newspaper for interested
persons. Though not the most effective
means ?of getting basketball players,
Hanners felt that most of the talent he
has seen is of good quality.
Hanners rated the team as basically
good overall. "Most of these guys are
not bad players, but they probably were
not the standouts of their high school
teams. They were probably second or
third best," Hanners said.
Voight 8th for award
Mike Voight, tailback from North
Carolina,, finished eighth in nationwide
voting for the Heisman Trophy, announced
Tuesday in New York. As expected,
Pittsburgh's tailback Tony Dorsett was the
runaway winner, collecting 701 of the 863
first-place votes.
The award, which goes to college
football's premier player each season, is
voted on by hundreds of sports writers and
broadcasters. Dorsett, the nation's leading
rusher, led in every section of the country,
and Southern California's tailback Ricky
Bell was runner-up for the second year in a
row, finishing second in all five sections.
In order behind Bell in the voting were
running back Rob Lytle of Michigan, junior
running back Terry Miller of Oklahoma
State, Rice quarterback Tom Kramer,
Brigham Young quarterback Gifford
Nielsen, quarterback Ray Goff of Georgia,
Voight, California quarterback Joe Roth
and UCLA quarterback Jeff Dankworth.
Dorsett is the first Pittsburgh player to
ever win the Heisman Trophy and only the
second Eastern player to win in the past 13
years. John Cappelletti of Penn State was
the 1973 winner.
