A Woody Durham By GENE If CHURCH Sports Editor Woody Durham, the Voice of the Tar Heels on the Carolina basketball and football networks, is not hosting the weekly Dean Smith Show this season because he is now a competitor with the television station that produces the show. Durham became news and sports director of WRDU-TV in Durham (Channel 28) in October, after leaving WFMY (Channel 12) in Greensboro. He appears nightly on WRDU's evening news broadcast. WTVD (Channel II). another Durham television station, produces the football and basketball shows for Carolina and supplies tapes of the shows to five other stations across the state. "He's not a competitor as long as he's in Greensboro." Jim Duncan, program director for WTVD, said. "But when he's on another station in the same market, he's in direct competition with me. It was in WTVD's best interest not to have competition on the show." Durham, who has hosted the show for six years, hosted The Bill Dooley Show during the recent football season, The decision by WTVD to ask Durham not to host either show was made when he accepted the position at WRDU. Duncan said, but since he did not-go on the air until Nov. I, he was allowed to do the football show. "Dooley called at the first of the season and asked that we not enforce that rule until the end of the (football) season." Duncan said. "He was trying to get his program in order and Woody was not on the air then. We decided to ignore that he was competing with us until football season was over." Both coaches make the arrangements for their shows, including finding a host. Smith has arranged for Jim Heavner, producer of the Tar Heel sports radio network, to be the host of the basketball show this season. Duncan said Smith knew in September that Durham would not be allowed to do the show this season. "I'm flattered that I'm enough of a person in this area to be a threat to them," Durham said. He said he thought the shows were like a package deal, since he did play-by-play for the radio network, and added that other schools and stations across the country have Jeff Reintgen earns victory in mat event By KEITH JONES Staff Writer While most everyone was home relaxing and filling up on turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie, the Tar Heel wrestling team was working hard to keep its weight down for the Southern Open Wrestling Tournament Friday and Saturday in Chattanooga. The Heels already have competed in two preseason tournaments, the Monarch Open 'and the Carolina Invitational, but this was the toughest competition so far. Some of the biggest names in wrestling over the past five or six years were among the 360 entrants in the tourney. John Peterson, an Olympic champion in the 1976 games; Wade Schalles, a three-time national champ from Clarion State and now Clemson coach; Tom Milkovich, a two-time national champ from Michigan State; and Mark Johnson, a national champ from Michigan. Johnson beat Schalles in a semifinal bout at 177 pounds. Despite the fierce competition, Coach Bill Lam's Tar Heels managed one champion and two third-place finishers. The Heels' champion was Jeff Reintgen at 150. "Jeff did a super job," Lam said. In the semifinals, Reintgen defeated an opponent from Oklahoma State, the team runner-up in the national tournament last year. Reintgen then took the finals with a decision ver an opponent from Alabama.j,- "He's the first person from UNO to ever win the Southern Open," Lam said. "Arid a lot of times you'll find the winners of this tournament placing in the nationals." The other two Tar Heels to place were Carter Mario at 1 58 and Clayton Barnard at 167. Another Tar Heel that had a good chance to place was freshman Kenny Evans. Because of an injury, he was unable to wrestle any of his consolation bouts and finished sixth. Lam also said Dave Juergens at 142 had a fine performance. "The entire team did a great job," Lam said. "The caliber of the tournament was really tough. Now we're looking forward to opening our dual-meet season with Clemson next Wednesday. So far, everything we've done could be considered preseason in the sense that no team scores have been kept. The real season starts with Clemson and they are going to be tough." The match against the Tigers is Dec. 7 in Carmichael Auditorium. Alley makes coaching debut as women open here tonight By WILL WILSON Staff Writer The Carolina women's basketball team begins its quest to improve on its dismal 8-16 record of last year when it opens its 1977-78 season 7:30 tonight in Carmichael Auditorium against Virginia Union. First-year Coach Jennifer Alley has sent her squad through nearly two months of organized practice in preparation for the rugged 26-game regular-season schedule that includes such national powers as N.C. State, Old Dominion, Maryland and Kentucky. According to Alley, that two-month period may have been about one week too long. "We really looked great against Duke (in a scrimmage last week), but we've been terrible in practice since," she said Monday. "Maybe we should not have even played it." , Even though Duke is one of the weaker Division 1 teams in the state. Alley still felt the scrimmage was valuable. "We learned what we wanted to learn," she said. The only information Alley has about Virginia Union is its roster, which lists the tallest player at 6-foot-l, but little height otherwise. It lost to Delaware State last week in its season opener, 63-62, before playing at Virginia Monday night. "In women's basketball, you don't always get to see a team before you play them," she sayd. "But I feel we can compensate for anything we see after the first three or four minutes." Alley said she plans to keep that same philosophy throughout the season, even against the toughest teams. "We can compete with anyone on our schedule as long as we play the type of defense we're trying to," she said. "We Wright takes mens IM tennis have to control the opponent's offense we can't let them control us." Alley has had trouble speeding up the Tar Heel offense, which was more patterned last season under former Coach Angela Lumpkin. "The offense has improved a lot (since the Blue-White scrimmage three weeks ago)," she said. "They were trying to go faster than they were capable of handling the ball. I got them to concentrate on the ball to improve their catchingand handling of it." Even with the two months of practice. Alley has not settled on a starting lineup. "I don't know what the best combination is," she said. "I'll experiment in these games prior to Christmas. Not every player is a good starter, although they don't always realize that." Prominent on her list of possible starters are sophomore Bernadette McGlade, an All-Division center last season; junior Linda Matthews, returning after a year's absence; and junior forward Cathy Shoemaker, Carolina's first full scholarship women's basketball player. Others Alley listed are freshmen Kelly Roche and April Shaffer, sophomore transfer Kathy Sapp, junior Fran Hardison and seniors Joan Leggett and Rochelle Small. "The last kid I play Tuesday might be the first I put in Friday (against Appalachian Stale)," she said. "I don't want anybody to get the idea that they're the 15th player." The schedule the team faces is considerably heavier than the 22-game slate last year, and Alley is not sure whether that is good or not. "Most players would rather play every day than practice, but I think you need some breaks. I don't think the schedule is so demanding that it will hurt our performance. That three week stretch on the road in February will be rough, though," 43 1 9 f 7 I f t A AN ' Jv Si ..... ,. .. . v.. .- cj v i 0ilf 1 1 -a. . . w1 4 th Ik Junior forwardguard Linda Matthews (44), shown in action two seasons ago against Wake Forest, returns to the UNC women's basketball lineup tonight against Virginia Union after an absence of a year while she was out of school.

"Channel 1 1 was allowed to call the shots. I didn't think they were in a position to do so. "I'm disappointed. I'd like to do the show. It's a lot of extra work, getting up early on Sunday mornings after Saturday night games and making long drives to do the shows. Physically, I'll be better off. But at the same time, I'd like to do it," Durham said. "Dean Smith would no more have Norm Sloan on his show than we would have our competition on the show," Duncan said. "He knew he couldn't continue when he came to this area. He made that choice, we didn't. I regret it."
