-Fans9 basketball poll Four Chapel Hillians work to get one started Friday, November 11, 1977 The Daily Tar Heel 5 By PETE MITCHELL utl , , Staff Writer i ne coaches have their poll, the sportswriters have theirs; why not let the fans have a chance to pick the top 20 collegiate basketball teams each week?" That was Earl Barker's philosophy when he formulated plans for The N ational Fan Poll, an idea Barker is trying to sell nationwide for the upcoming college cage season. Barker, a Chapel Hill barber, Doug Bullock and Bob Royster of the UNC-TV network and Richard Price, who is in the heating and air-conditioning business, are attempting to spread the news of their unprecedented idea through press releases, newspaper advertisements and the wire services to get national attention. What we want to do is have people send us their preseason picks for the top 20 basketball teams in the country," said Bullock, the company's vice president. "Fiom that response we'll randomly pick 1,000 fans who'll pick the top 20 every week of the season to comprise the poll. Hopefully, those 1,000 will represent a reasonable geographic distribution and will be knowledgeable and interested fans. The financial reward for the company will come when a national syndicate buys the idea, and the poll appears in newspapers regularly, as do the Associated Press and United Press International polls. "It should be interesting reading," Bullock said. "We're not trying to compete with the other polls, just trying to give the fans a chance to have their vote." There are obvious problems with the notion of a weekly poll made by the fans, "We're not trying to compete with the other polls, just trying to give the fans a chance to have their vote." Doug Bullock Baseball fans vote for the starting lineups each year for the Major League All Star Game, and the system has gotten mixed reactions. Those opposed to it claim the fans couldn't possibly know as much as the writers because they don't see the games every day. "That's one of the mountains we'll have to get over our credibility, that is," Royster said. "But with as large a sampling as we're taking, a lot of nonsense votes will mean little. The poll should be as accurate as either UP1 or AP." The major problem the company has run into since its inception in August is selling the idea nationally. The National Fan Poll ballot has appeared in the Sanford Herald and Charlotte Observer. Barker has secured a trademark for the product, but to buy ads for every paper in the country would be financially impossible, he said. The company is relying on press releases and help from the wire services to gain exposure so the initial sampling is both large and representative of the country. "I don't think it'll take long to get the ball rolling," Barker said. "It's a new idea, and in our case, the top 20 teams rated means what it says the top 20 rated teams by sports fans, sportswriters. players, coaches and broadcasters. Everyone is qualified to vote." The National Fan Poll hopes to have its preseason survey out before the Big Four Tournament Dec. 2 and 3. From those responses, 1,000 people will be selected and asked to fill out ballots each week. Deadline for the preseason picks is Nov. 18. Selections for the preseason top 20 should be sent to: National Fan Poll P.O.

The Heels received their Southeast hid by winning the North Carolina tourney last week with wins over Duke and High' Point. UNC Coach Dolly Hunter said she hopes her Tar Heels will put things together as well as they did in the North Carolina Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (NCAIAW) finals against High Point in which they put recent below par performances behind them and whipped the Panthers 3-0 in an impressive show. The Heels will have to he at their best if they are to come out ahead of a solid eight team field that includes Virginia, which beat Carolina 3-2 earlier this year, and defending champion William and Mary.

Duke, N.C. State, St. Augustine and UNC will compete in the open tournament with other schools possibly taking part. Carolina fencing coach Ron Miller said the tournament is a good opportunity for practice, particularly for new members of the squad. "This weekend's tournament will be a good one for us as we prepare for the regular season," Miller said. "Most of the people we will be sending will be from the tryout group, along with some of the varsity members. It will be a good tournament for the beginners as they will have an opportunity to gain some valuable experience." SADLACK'S HEROES AND DELI OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK!

Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25 The following selections are from the 3rd chapter of Genesis beginning with the 7th verse: "And the eyes ol them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and make themselves aprons. And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice In the garden, and I was afraid, because I wast naked; and I hid myself. And He said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Has thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and t did eat. And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast ot the field Unto the woman He said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; In sorrow thou shall bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and He shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, Cursed Is the ground for thy sake; In sorrow shall thou eat of It all the days of thy life In the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them. So He drive out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden, cherubim and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. Exodus 20:25 & 26: And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for If thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted It. Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not dis covered thereon. The following selections are from the 5th Chapter of Mat thew: "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the meek; for they shall Inherit the earth. Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God. Ye have heard that It was said by them of old lime, Thou shalt not commit adultery; but I say unto you. That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath com mitted adultery with her already In his heart. And If thy right eye oftend thee, pluck It out, cast It from thee: for It Is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that they whole body should be cast Into hell. It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wile, let him give her a writing ot divorcement; But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wlte, saving for the cause ot fornication, causeth her to commit adultery; and whosoever shall marry her thai Is divorced commltteth adultery. The following selections from the 16th chapter of Revelation. "And I saw unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. ""Behold I come as a thief - BEHOLD I COME AS A THIEF. BLESSED IS HE THAT WATCHETH ANDKEEPETHHIS GARMENTS LEST HE WALK NAKED, AND THEY SEE HIS SHAME." Psalm 19:13 & 14: "Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be Innocent from the great transgression. LET THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH, AND THE MEDITATION OF MY HEART, BE ACCEPTABLE IN THY SIGHT, O LORD. MY STRENGTH, AND MY REDEEMER." P. O.
