8 The D.aily Tar Heel Tuesday, December 6, 1977 Wrestlers host Clemson Carolina's wrestling team opens its dual-match and conference season against Clemson at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Carmichael Auditorium. "Clemson should be one of the most improved wrestling teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference," UNC Coach Bill Lam said. Clemson has a new coach in three-time national champion Wade Schalles and has used 11 scholarships this year to improve its program. The Tar Heels will be led by two-time ACC champion at 150 pounds, Jeff Reintgen. Tigers edge women fencers; Heel men turn back alumni The Carolina women's fencing team turned in a strong performance in the Clemson Women's Open last weekend, with the UNC A team placing second and the B squad finishing fifth. The Heels barely lost to the victorious Clemson team. UNC did not lose any meets on bouts, but in the third match Carolina tied Clemson and the Tigers won on indicators. Later in a rematch, UNC won 3-1 and during the fmak the two schools split again. But, m the "fence-off," Clemson won, U. "The A squad, composed of Pattie Player of week honors go to Ford GREENSBORO (UP1) Phil Ford was named player of the week in the ACC this week by a selection committee of the Atlantic Coast Sports Writers Association. Ford's clutch shooting led the top-ranked Tar Heels to their first Big Four championship since 1971, and he was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player after Carolina defeated Duke 79 66 in the opening game and N .C. State 87-82 in the championship battle. In the championship against the Wolfpack, Ford hit nine field goals in 17 attempts, added 12 of 14 from the free -throw line and ended the night with 30 points 24 of them coming in the second half. Urquhart, Cathy Deener, Kathi Kronenfeld and captain Anne Nipper, fenced well,'' UNC fencing coach Ron Miller said. "Sodid the B team made up of Robin Cook, Beth Forsythe, Carver Camp and Carolina women's fencing coach, Connie Buell." The team did well without the squad's top two performers, Cathy Swan and Garney Ingram, who were unable to make the trip. The UNC men's fencing team defeated the alumni squad last Tuesday, 18-9. Mark Scott, Steve Bachmann, Frank Blake, Tom Killian and Rich Wiel fenced well as starters. Reserve Sam Weathers had the best bout of his short fencing career when he defeated two-time ACC champion A.J. Keaneforthe 14th point in the meet to give the varsity the win. "The win over the alumni is an excellent sign at this point in the year," Miller said. "This victory, along with the win at Cornell, is a big confidence builder for the team." Last Wednesday, the women's Blue-White meet was held, with the Blue team, composed of last year's A team, prevailing, 10-6. Miller said everyone fenced well, especially Deener and Urquhart for the white team and Kronenfeld, who went 4-0 despite injury, for the blue squad. In the men's Blue-White meet last Thursday, all starters fenced well, in particular Killian in epee, Scott in foil and Wiel in saber. k,r , david McNeill Welcome, Carolina, to the Liberty Bowl Special Pre-Game Buffet at the Hotel Convenient Buses to and from the Stadium Centrally Located in Memphis THE RAMADA INN - CENTRAL 160 Union Avenue Memphis, Tenn. 38103 901-525-5491 Toll Free or . 1-800-228-2828 OOI n $1.25 O CHEESEBURGER O TEXAS TATERS O BOTTOMLESS COKE THIS OFFER GOOD 0 P.M.

December 8 thru 17 ROY ROGERS 108 MALLETT ST. 968-9112 Volleyball in powerful field for nationals By DINITA JAMES Staff Writer While most students are either taking exams or studying for them, the UNC women's volleyball team will be in Provo, Utah, Thursday through Sunday participating in the AIAW District 1 National Finals. Twenty-four teams will compete with the top eight seeds being Southern California, UCLA, Hawaii, Pepperdine, Northern Kentucky, Southwest Missouri, Lamar and Houston. The Tar Heels will be pooled with UCLA, Lamar, Utah State, Illinois and Long Beach State. Coach Beth Miller said she realizes UNC's chances are slim against the powerhouses from the West Coast, but she and the team are looking forward to the trip. "We're going out with the idea to do our best," Miller said. "We're not expecting to win. We want to play well enough so that the other teams will recognize that we have a good team and that North Carolina is steadily improving." The trip to the nationals and being placed among the top 24 teams in the nation is indeed an honor for the Tar Heels, but perhaps the most important thing that will come out of the team's berth in the nationals is the experience they will gain by playing against and watching such high caliber volleyball. "It is a great opportunity for us to participate and see other teams playing," Miller said. "It will be an overall asset to our program. After all, we've been to the nationals two out of the past three years. People hear about this and it brings prominence to our program." Miller is a realist, and she has not set the team's goal on winning the national championship. "Our most prominent goal," she said, "is to play well and feel good about the way we played. We're capable of winning some matches out there, but undoubtedly the West Coast will dominate." This tournament will be the last competition for seniors Donna Gutterman, Ruth Heruska and Carolyn Hawkins. Miller said she felt that a visit to Provo was an excellent way to end their college careers. "This trip is really good for them," Miller said. "They're all good players and they contributed to the team. They'll be hard to replace, but you replace them as best you can."

Joyner, Mudslingers take IM swim crowns By BILL FIELDS Stiff Writer Intramural activity for the fall semester began drawing to a close last Thursday, as the IM swim meet was held in the Bowman Gray pool. Except for Grail Mural Basketball which will continue when second semester opens, the fall IM activities have been completed. Competition was held in eight swimming events with both individual and team winners announced. The All Campus team members for the women was Joyner Dorm, which amassed 38 points in defeating runner-up Chi Omega, which totaled 18. In the men's team race, the Independent Mudslingers took first with 23 points. Alexander Dorm finished second with 13 points. In the individual men's competition, Danny Shaver of Everett and Mark Kellam of the Independent Mudslingers tied for first in the 50-yard butterfly with a time of 0:27.3.

And in the 50-yard freestyle Wally Close of Morrison won in 0:23.6. In the 100-yard individual medley Bob Leak won again, in a time of 1:00.

Women battle highly ranked Old Dominion By WILL WILSON Staff Writer The exam tonight may be tougher than any the next 10 days for the UNC women's basketball players. Carolina, coming off an unexpected loss to Appalachian State Friday, travels to Norfolk, Va., to tackle Old Dominion at 7:30 p.m. in the ODU fieldhouse. The Lady Monarchs' bold, aggressive style of play and strong inside game led Sports Illustrated to rank them seventh in the country prior to the season. They certainly did nothing to dispel that by demolishing Virginia 79-26 on statewide television in their season opener Saturday. Old Dominion's impressive cast of players is led by 5-foot-10 sophomore Nancy Lieberman, a 1976 Olympian from Far Rockaway, N.Y. She is probably the nation's best-known woman basketball player as a result of a lengthy feature on her in Sport magazine last season. Just as important to the Lady Monarchs is 6-foot-5 sophomore Inge Nissen, who played for Denmark in the '76 Olympics. Lieberman and Nissen combined for 51 points and 30 rebounds (Nissen had 20) in ODU's 66-56 win over Carolina last season. Those two and everyone else return from that team everyone, that is, except Coach Pam Farsons, who left for South Carolina following a rather stormy three-year stint at ODU. Parsons' replacement is Marianne Stanley, a former Immaculata standout and assistant coach there last season. Stanley bi ought two forwards with her from Immaculata Dolly Van Buskirk and Linda Jerome. Van Buskirk stepped right in against Virginia and was a dominant force, while Jerome had a lesser role. Lieberman has moved from guard to forward this season, and encountered foul problems there Saturday. Nevertheless, Lieberman, Van Buskirk and Nissen, with Jerome in reserve, make for a top-notch front line. Junior Debra Richard and sophomore Angela Cotman, both Virginia natives, are ODU's starting guards. Carolina Coach Jennifer Alley, not used to losing while coaching High Point to the Division II national tournament last season, was busy Monday trying to figure out how the Tar Heels could stay in the game with ODU after being run down 93-84 at Boone, which evened UNC's record at 1-1. "We panicked (at ASU)," she said. "We should never have lost. The players told me after the game they felt they were overconfident. I think they were expecting Appalachian to make mistakes, but Appalachian is much improved over last ,y;ar.". Alley said the team played well on both ends of the court when they had the chance to set up. They got hurt, she said, on the transition baskets. In looking to ODU, Alley said she'd probably go with a veteran starting lineup. "Maybe the veterans will want to win so bad, and they'll maintain their composure better," she said. "But maybe not," she added. "Everything is so new to them with regard to the play patterns that the coolest players might be our freshmen." The tentative lineup she listed was 6-foot-0 Bernadette McGlade at center, 5-foot-1 1 senior Joan Leggett and 5-foot-10 junior Cathy Shoemaker at the forwards, and 5-foot-6 senior Joyce Patterson and 5-foot-8 junior Linda Matthews at guards.
