The ACCs: fencers point for
By KEN ROBERTS
StafT Writer
Add teams from N.C. State, Maryland,
Duke Virginia and Clemson. Beat
thoroughly. That's the recipe UNC coach
Ron Miller has used for the last six ACC
fencing tournaments.
When the meet begins at 8:30 a.m.
Saturday in Woollen Gym, the men's squad
will have a very .good chance at making it
seven in a row.
The Heels' conference record is blemished
only by a forfeit Wednesday to N.C. State, a
match presently under protest. Their 7-1
conference mark leaves them atop the ACC
rankings. ,
Optimistic about the tournament's
probable outcome, Miller summed it up:

"Everything looks pretty solid."
Sabre and foil do look solid and have
dominated league action all season. But epee
is not quite as secure. While the epeeists have
fenced well against ACC competition, a
number one fencer has not emerged from
their ranks. Senior Jim Corter and junior
Frank Blake have jockeyed for the
distinction all season long but neither has
pinned it down.
'The performance of epee is a dilemma not
only at U NC. "Epee is the crucial weapon for
every team. Nobody has a consistently
strong epee team. We have to look for a
strong performance to be insured a victory,"
Miller said.
Both Blake and Corter have an excellent
shot at winning in their weapon, because last
year's top eight finishers were seniors. Sabre

The UNC women will enter three teams,
an A team and two B teams, in the first
women's ACC Tournament. It will begin at 9
a.m. Sunday in Woollen Gym.
Clemson and N .C. State will bring both A
and B teams; Duke and Maryland will only
bring A teams. The A team Kathi
Kronenfeld, Cathy Swan, Garney Ingram,
Anne Nipper and Linda Gaston have been
dealt only two conference losses, both by
N.C. State.
- State edged the women in the f rst meeting
on touches after the match was left tied at 8
8. In the second bout Wednesday night State
won 9-7.
The only problem for the team is the
fourth starter. Nipper and Gaston will share
the spot in the Sunday action. Swan stressed
the importance of a strong fourth team
member.
Gymnasts vs. Georgia
The UNC women's gymnastics team hosts
Georgia in its last regular season meet at 2
p.m. Saturday in 'Carmichael Auditorium.
UNC Coach Ken Ourso says"it ought to be a
good meet to watch as far as competition
goes."
The 7-2 Tar Heels, averaging in the 1 20
125 point range, should get quite a contest
from Georgia, which also has been scoring
on a 120-point clip. "We have to really be
ready to hit our routines," Ourso said. "In
order for us to win, everybody's gotta do the
job." ;
Ourso is confident that his gymnasts will
indeed do the job. l think we'll win. We had
better," he saicL "I know 8-2 sure sounds
better than 7-3."
For the second straight meet, the Tar
Heels will go with their completely healthy
starting line-up, including freshman all
arounder Tia Walker, sophomore Lynn
Swisher and balance beam-floor specialist
Teresa Trice.

Some of the best indoor track performers in the
East, including 20 from UNC, will compete in the
N.C. State Invitational Saturday in Raleigh.
"Hopefully, we'll get some more of our guys to
qualify for the nationals," Indoor Track Coach
H ubert West said. Atlantic Coast Conference mile
champion Ralph King is the only Tar Heel to
qualify for the national meet March 11-12 in
Detroit, Mich. West said at least five other
Heels Sam Brown, Lee Shuler, Erwin Jones,
Don Lockerbie and Willie Southerland have a
pretty good chance of qualifying Saturday.
Brown has run 49.9 indoors in the quarter mile
and needs a 48.4 to qualify for the nationals. Jones
and Shuler will compete in the high jump. Jongs
set a school record last week in the Atlantic Coast
Conference meet clearing the bar at seven feet.

DEAN
Wrestlereyes UNC-UVa clash
By PETE MITCHELL
Staff Writer
If you're a Carolina wrestler and you
haven't been injured this season, you're
either extremely fortunate, or else not very
valuable to the team.
Having compiled a 22-6-1 individual
record at three different weights and been
rated as the number three 1 67-pounder in the
South, Dean Brior certainly doesn't belong
in the latter category.
"I've been lucky that it hasn't happened to
me this year," Brior said. "It seems like every
other starter has been hurt sometime this
season." s ,
Last year at this time, the sophomore from
Philadelphia wasn't quite as sturdy. The
Virginia Cavaliers UNC's opposition
Saturday night and Nick Jalowski in
particular gave Brior a hard time in the Tar
Heels' 17-16 triumph. Brior hurt an ankle
while beating Jalowski and hobbled to a
fourth-place finish in the ACC tournament
later on.
. In Saturday's 8 p.m. match in Carmichael
Auditorium, the two will be pitted against
one another again, this time to determine
who will be the number one seed in next
to Raleigh meet
Shuler has jumped 6-foot-10. Lockerbie and
Southerland need to finish at least in 1:52 to
qualify for the nationals in the half mile. Both have
run the 880 under 1:55.
Other Tar Heels who will compete are Chris
Cox in the 600, Chip Wilson in the hurdles, Tom
Massey in the shot put, Girard Miller in the long
jump, Kent Taylor, Gary Hoffstetter and Ralph
King in the two mile. Spencer Wynne in the triple
jump, Doug Slack, Mark Thompson and Dave
Drechsel in the mile and mile relay team.

weekend's ACC bash.
After wrestling at 177 last season, Brior
had to trim 10 pounds off as Coach Bill Lam
juggled weight classes with him, Dave Casale
and incoming freshman Norman Walker.
There was .certainly no complaint from
Brior's side. -
Tm much happier at 167," he said. "It's
helped me a lot this year because I think 1 still
have the same streftgth as I had at 177 and
I'm not tiring as quickly." In addition to the
experience factor and getting over some
freshman adjustments, Brior also praised
UNC Assistant Coach Shorty Hitchcock for
helping him improve over last year.
He's been impressive in matches against
nationally-ranked grapplers from Lehigh
and Yale this year and defeated such
notables as Jim Bacchetta of Duke, Steve
Heger of Maryland, Joe Lidowski of N.C.
State and Don Whyte of Virginia Tech.
Beating the senior Jalowski will be quite a
chore, however. He's undefeated in the
conference and has led the Cavs to a 6-1
overall dual match record and a first place
standing in the ACC. Just last Sunday, UVa
crushed N.C. State.21-1 1 and it has beaten
Maryland and Duke for a 3-0 ledger. Only
Tennessee has stopped the Cavaliers this
year.
Besides Jalowski, Virginia boasts of 134
pound Steve Silverberg, 118-pound Gary
Friedman, 142-pound Bob Harwick and
,158-pouhd Matt Bacharach. All are having
outstanding years.
UVa coach George Edwards expects an
extremely close match but admitted he's
looking forward to the championships at
College Park, Md., next week. -
"Saturday's match could go either way,"
ihe said, "but what's really important are the
seedings for the tournament. The conference
standings don't mean anything.
"I just hope we can stay healthy. We've
been lucky to avoid injuries this year," he
said.
Meanwhile, the once-hobbled Tar Heels,
now 10-5, are close to being strong again
themselves with only senior Scott
Conkwright still ailing. Dave Casale, who
hasn't wrestled all semester because of a
broken foot, has been red-shirted.
