Men, women
netters face
Blue Devils

If 85 percent of tennis is mental, as UNC
coach Kathy Harrison believes, then UNC's
No. 1 women's player, Susie Black, has her
game well under control.
"There's no reason why I can't go out and
win tomorrow," Black said as she and her
teammates prepared for a match with arch
rival Duke at 2 p.m. today in Durham.
Carolina's men's team is also at Duke, as
the Tar Heels wind down their ACC regular
season today and at Maryland Wednesday
before entering ACC tournament play
Friday.
Black will be facing the Blue Devils' Grace
Barrie, an opponent she has never played
before. "Lloyd (Hatcher) beat her in three
sets last fall," Black said. "I'm not expecting
any real trouble."
Duke's No. 1 position was left open in
December with the graduation of Cindy
Johnson. No one was happier to see her go
than Black. It was like getting rid of a
disease.
"It's good not to be playing her for a
change. I'm playing well now and there's no
reason not to beat this girl. Mentally I'm
ready. Everyone on the team should win, but
with Duke you simply can't take anything
for granted.
Black was pleased with her play last week
in the Southern Collegiates in Columbus,
Miss. Even though she lost in the opening
round in singles, she advanced to the
semifinals in the consolation bracket before
losing. "I got an unlucky draw for the first
round and had to play a tough opponent. I
wasn't dissatisfied with my own play though,
and that's what counts."
Black, like most women players, is not
known for advancing the net in the middle of
rallies. "I'm just more comfortable in the
backcourt. But I do approach the net more
than I used to," she said.
Tennis comes easy to Black, who first
picked up a racket when she was 6 years old.
She's been playing ever since, and has been
Carolina's No. 1 player for the past three
years.
"I'm not saying it's easier to play in a lower
position, but being the No. 1 player is a little
tougher on you. Everybody looks for you to
win," she said.
Heels win, 8-2
Carolina's baseball team defeated
Liberty Baptist College 8-2 Monday
afternoon in Lynchburg, Va. The Tar '
Heels are now 27-12. The win was their
second of the year over Liberty, as they
took a 4-3 win earlier this year.

Frisbee football
UNC team uses defense to cop title
"I'm open, throw it."
After faking his defender out, racing downfield and standing ready for the scoring
catch, the player got it. One of his teammates winged the frisbee to him in a path that
curved around the outstretched arms of two opponents, finally landing in his arms.
This scene may sound curious, even odd. What, you might ask, involves such action'.'
The answer is Ultimate Frisbee, also called frisbee football in these parts. The game is a
curious combination of skills exercised in several sports, but the common denominator is
a frisbee.
A team of UNC students frisbee enthusiasts used their skills in the sport this past
weekend to win the Ultimate Frisbee competition in the 1st N.C. State Frisbee
Tournament held in Charlotte.
Sponspreby a UNC-Charlotte frisbee organization and WAYS radio and sanctioned
by the International Frisbee Association, the tournament attracted around 100 persons
who participated in Ultimate, Golf, Maximum Distance and Maximum Time Aloft
frisbee evepts, ,
The Chapel Hill team. Club West, defeated an Asheboro team Saturday 17-7, then
whipped host UNC-Charlotte 15-8 for the title on Sunday.
"The other teams had better skills in frisbee than we did." said Marty Nevitt. one of the

-BILL FIELDS
While John Havlicck a us closing out his basketball career this
weekend. John Elam was polishing up his golf game in preparation
for his final appearance in the ACC tournament which begins today
at the North Ridge Country Club in Raleigh.
Elam. Bill Sibbick and Bill Buttner are the three seniors w ho will
be leading the Heels into the tournament which Carolina captured a
year ago to snap Wake Forest's 10-year reign as king of golf in the
ACC. Juniors John McGough. Steve Smith and hot-playing Kevin
King and freshman Frank Fuhrer complete the UNC squad which
will be battling for birdies in the three-day tourney.
"We are all excited about the tournament." Elam said. "Everyone
will be tough, just like in the ACC basketball lournament. Wake
Forest surely will be tough. Clemson has played well this year and
Maryland did well last year. But, we did it last year and we all have
the attitude that we are going to do it again this y ear. I feci we have a
great chance to win and 1 think it will be tough to hold us back from
winning."
Though the Heels are confident of doing well this week, they can
not look back on their performance during the regular season lor
strong support. UNC golf coach Devon Brouse described the team's
play as including "flashes of brilliance but not really playing up to our
full potential." But Brouse added "last year we played well early and
tailed off and this year w e are trying to avoid that and keep ourselves
on an even keel.
"The ACC is the most important tournament of the year for us,"
Brouse said. "We have had two weeks to prepare for this one w hercas
before our tournaments ran together and along with schoolwork, we
did not have much time for practice. We have been consistent all year
and you have to be consistent to win. It is just a matter of playing
well."
The Heels enjoy competition in the fall in addition to the regular
season tournaments in the spring. But because of his role as punter on
the Carolina football squad. Elam always missed out on the fall
matches. The 6-foot, 200-pound Charlotte native said not being able
to compete in golf in the fall has not been a big problem this year as it
was in the past.
"1 played golf every day before football practice," Elam said, "so 1
was still able to keep my game in shape. In the past it seemed to hin t
me some to play football but this year I felt looser. The main
disadvantage of being involved in two sports is that it took a while to
get the competitiveness back for golf."
Elam said the role of the seniors on the team is to provide
leadership and he credits Brouse for the togetherness which is
characteristic of this year's squad.
"We have three seniors playing in the tournament." Elam said.

"and 1 have always felt it helped to have seniors to help out the
younger players, although once you get out on the course it is all up to
each individual. The team has been playing a lot together, and getting
us together has been a big help and given us all confidence. Coach
Brouse has done a fine job working on everyone's attitude. We have a
lot of team meetings and he has helped us in our preparation for
tournament play."
Elam's biggest thrills in golf have been playing in the Kemper Open
three times and w inning at Pinehurst in 1976, the same year he earned
all-ACC honors.
This year, Elam has especially concentrated on starting each
tournament well. All seven Heels will be out to do just that when they
tee it up today.
"It is my lust go at it," Elam said. "And w hen you are a senior y ou
really want to do the best you can. And just like the rest of the guys, 1
have been working hard. 1 am confident and 1 am excited about
playing for the ACC championship,"
The Tar Heels snapped Wake Forest's 10-y ear domination of the
event last year, edging runner-up Maryland by two strokes w ith the
Deacons finishing third. Wake's Scott Hoch, meanwhile, tamed
North Ridge's Lakes Course with a 54-hole total of 207, nine under
par, w hich was two shots better than N.C. State's Tom Reynolds and
UNC's Scott Humrickhouse.
North Ridge is hosting the three day affair for the third consecutive
year. In 1976. the same nine under par 207 was good enough for
Clemson's Parker Moore to edge Wake Forest's Curtis Strange for
medalist honors.
Tar Heel Coach Devon Brouse feels the race for the team
championship this spring will be wide-open.
"1 think it's going to be a real dog-fight," says Brouse. "Wake, of
course, is going to be trying to win the championship backThat "will
give them added incentive.
'Girls play some rrtean Softball

Slugger Anita Allen rounds third
By PETE MITC HELL
Assistant Sports Editor
After all the years of seeing big-bellied church leaguers tote
half-empty cans of beer out to the outfield with their faded
"First Methodist" uniform tops and tattered caps in place,
watching women's Softball is quite a change.
Within ear shot of the Hinton James field, scene of
Monday's UNC-North Carolina A&T matchup, cheers and
chants like those once heard in junior high and even before
ring out from both benches.
The eyes of several male spectators focused on a very
pretty blonde in short shorts and sweat socks who suddenly
shouted out, "Play Ball!" Kill the ump? Not in a million
years.
Back on the field, neither team was kidding. They play
hard and well, for the most part.
Carolina second baseman Bessie Buchanan let one squibb
through her legs in the second inning with a runner on first.
The throw from the outfieid went to third but wasn't in time.
The A&T batter tried for second and third baseman Anita
Allen fired to Phyllis Elliot covering. A huge collision sent
the Tar Heel shortstop sprawling in the dust but she held on
for the tag and the third out.
There were enough bobbles and boots in the game to keep
things interesting, including several heaves by both teams
over first base and into the woods. But there was a lot of hard
hitting and slick fielding too.
I n fact, somebody in the bleachers was just commenting on
Allen's home run the other day which cleared the fence in left

field. It was thHirst time a woman has ever hit one out ol the
James park. She stepped up to the plate a moment after the
conversation and blasted one over the leftfielder's head for a
three-run, inside-the-park home run to give Carolina an 8-3
fourth inning lead.
The cheers and chants started again when A&T batted in
the fifth. Katie Cole was relieved by Connie Langley and the
Tar Heel bench broke into some inaudible chant. Janice
"Toot" Matson kept up her incessant chatter from left field.
Needing a rally, A&T sang in unison: "H it it up the middle,
hit it down the line. We'll take a base hit any old time."
The Aggiettes (that's what it said on their uniforms) tallied
three times and could have had more if it weren't for Elliot's
great play at short.
With the score 9-6 going into the seventh and final inning,
Langley got in trouble again on the mound. Runners
straddled second and third with one out when the ball was hit
back to her on a bounce. The runners held, but Langley sailed
one way over the first baseman's head and into the now
familiar woods. Two runs scored, and after two more hits,
one of which was a booming double to the fence in center, the
visitors had themselves a I0-9 lead.
The Ta: Heels were frustrated in their last chance when
Gay Scott was left stranded at third after stroking a one-out
double. Carolina was obviously disappointed as the
Aggiettes pranced about the field, and U NC couldn't recover
to win the second game of the doubleheader. losing 1 3-5.
