1 J Heels open hoop practice Monday Clemson is getting a head start while Carolina is taking its time as the college basketball practice season opens Saturday. With Oct. 15 set by the NCAA as the earliest practice date, Clemson coach Bill Foster has set a scrimmage for 12:01 a.m. Saturday, while UNC, last year's NCAA runner-up, is waiting until Monday afternoon to begin drills. "This is going to be a regrouping year for us," Tar Heel Head Coach Dean Smith says. "I think we have the potential for another outstanding team. Yet, it will be very difficult for us to equal the accomplishments of last year's team." Walter Davis, Tommy LaGarde and John Kuester are missing from last season's team, which won 28 of 33 games and captured the ACC regular season and tournament championships. All-America guard Phil Ford, a leading candidate for National Player of the Year, and sophomore forward Mike O'Koren, also a top all-star candidate, are the Heels' two returning starters. "Five of our best six defensive players from last year have graduated," Smith . says, "so we'll put special emphasis on defense and rebounding in practice. I'm not worried about our offense. We should have an outstanding fast break if we can get the defensive rebound or force turnovers with our defense." Carolina, which has been ranked No. 1 in the nation by Playboy magazine, will hold its annual Blue-White scrimmage Nov. 5. The Heels open their regular season Nov. 26 in Charlotte against Oregon State. Tix left for S.C. A few tickets still remain for the Carolina South Carolina game next Saturday, according to the UNC Ticket Office. The office reported Thursday afternoon that approximately 300 tickets were left for sale to public or pick-up by students. IM track winners The Statistics mile relay team, shot putter and discus thrower Vernon Chincilli and long jumper Carl Yoshizawa all contributed first places to Statistics' victory in the grad independent division of the intramural track meet this week.

No admission charge. soccer Continued from page 1 . "I'm not so sure we'll win. I think we're a better team, but I'm sure UNC will have great emotions' for that game. It's a lot more important for them than it is for us (the Tigers are looking ahead to No. 1 -ranked St. Louis, Oct. 23 at Clemson). But we will play with a lot of pride. As long as we're victorious we won't worry about the score. We should have no difficulty dominating the midfield (one of UNC's strengths); we'll just have to struggle to put the ball in the net." Starting in 1972, Ibrahim began actively recruiting in Africa and brought many Nigerian players to Clemson to play soccer. The foreign talent became predominant and has taken the Tigers to the upper echelons of the collegiate soccer world. Last year's starting lineup, which consisted of foreign students, prompted one UNC official to remark, "It was like the United Nations playing the UNC soccer team." This year two Americans have cracked the Tigers' starting 11. Clemson's two top scorers, Christian Nwokcja and Godwin Ojbueze, with 20 and 18 goals respectively, are both back. But Ibrahim stressed the team concept: "Either the team does well together, or the team does not do well together." "It would take an incredible upset to beat them," UNC coach Anson Dorrance said at the beginning of the season, "but that's certainly one of our goals." The key to the Heels' success will be how Dorrance opts to face Clemson, either by applying pressure on offense or by playing a controlled defensive game. Several weeks ago Dorrance hinted that the latter course would be the probable strategy.

Phil Ford 1 1977 Track races By DAVID POOLE Stuff Writer Two successes marked the club sports activities of the week as the Carolina Godiva Track Club and the UNC Club Football Rams turned in impressive performances. The Carolina Godiva Track Club finished first in a five-team meet at Campbell College last weekend. One of the teams the club defeated was the very strong East Carolina team. Godiva's cumulative score was 37. while ECU finished second with 44. The keys to Godiva's victory were twofold. One was the outstanding performances of Dave Cich and Dave Hamilton. Cich took third in the individual meet standings with a time of 26:53. while Hamilton was fourth, one second behind. Raleigh traffic expected heavy Take 50.000 football fans, 100.000 fair goers and a mess of cars to transport them all, and the result is a traffic jam - a big one. That's why the N.C. Highway Patrol is urging folks traveling to the Carolina-State football game Saturday to pretend that the kickoff is at noon instead of 1:30 p.m. The patrol estimates that some 50.000 60.000 cars will be in the Carter Stadium Fairgrounds area Saturday. Parking lots around the stadium will open at 10 a.m. The patrol recommends that Chapel Hill traffic take lnterstate-40 to the Blue Ridge Road exit and use either the Blue Ridge Road entrance or those entrances off Trinity Road to enter the stadium. ml ilk n ft Pm HI Jos.

"Part of hockey is playing in the mud," she said. "They've had to play in the rain, sleet and snow before, even with the whole field covered with snow so you couldn't see the lines."
