Had anyone said two months ago that Duke and
Carolina would each enter their Jan. 13 encounter in
UNCs ' Carmichael Auditorium with two losses
apiece, he'd have gotten some mightly blank stares
and perhaps a few polite "sure"s.
Duke, it was assumed by everyone from the
governor to junior high school water boys, would be
undefeated and riding a string of 13 consecutive
victories when the Blue Devils brought their zone
defense and Terrible Trio of Jim Spanarkel, Mike
Gminski and Gene Banks to Chapel Hill.
Carolina, it was assumed by everyone except
Carolina, would be playing hard with courage and
guts and character and everything else that made
America great but, well, what about old No. 12?
Funny thing, though, about life. Things don't
always go as planned.
Just ask Bill Foster or Gene Banks or any other
member of last season's NCAA runners-up. Ask
them about those losses in New York, ask them
about that certain spark that seems to be missing so
far in Durham. "It's a mystery," Banks said Saturday
after Carolina's 74-68 win. "We've got to tune our
offense up. It's like an orchestra where you've got a
flute or a clarinet making a bad sound. We've got to
get our harmony back."
But don't bother asking anyone on Carolina's
team why the Tar Heels, ranked in the second 10 in
some preseason polls and unranked in others, are
now in the nation's top five. They're not surprised.
"I've known all along we're good," Mike O'Koren
said. "It's just a matter of going out and proving it."
Saturday they did just that.
O'Koren had 28 buddies from his home of Jersey
City, N. J., in town for the weekend, and the last thing
he wanted to do was send them home without
something to remember. He didn't come up short.
They'll be talking for a long time about O'Koren's
performance Saturday.
The 17 points, seven assists and four steals he made
were enough for a quite respectable performance.
But the 20 rebounds and remember this guy is
only 6-foot-7 had his teammates shaking their
heads in disbelief after the game. "The first' time 1
looked at the stat sheet 1 thought it was a misprint,"

63-5 7 win over- Hogs
By PETE MITCHELL
Assistant Sports Editor "
GREENSBORO With 17 seconds left, freshman Jimmy
Black was feeling it again. The same kind of pressure he ignored
Saturday when he hit clutch free throws against Duke seemed to
be knawing at him once more as Carolina clung to a precarious
three-point lead.
I uuaiey uraaiey puuea mm away irom tne line ana said
something that made the skinny New York freshman laugh. With
a flick of his wrist, Black arched it highland rattled it home. He
swished his second to put Arkansas away. The Tar Heels won 63
57. -
"I told him to think about his Mom and Dad (who were at the
game)," Bradley recalled. "I said, "C'mon bossman, be a New
Yorker. "
It worked for Black, who had missed the front end of a one-and-one
with 48 seconds left and turned it over twice while
running four corners. Carolina went home with back-to-back
close-call victories, bruised and hurting, but 12-2 after cornering
the Razorbacks on national television.
Arkansas (10-2) stayed within one or two points the whole
second period after trailing by five at the half, but could never
take the lead.
"We could never get over the hump," Coach Eddie Sutton said.
"They're the best team we've seen."
Bradley was the star, "nothing short of sensational," according
. to Dean Smith, as he stabilized the Tar Heels after Mike O'Koren
1 fouled out with 3:50 to go. Bradley hit four of six from the field
and the line for 12 points in Carolina's balanced scoring attack.
He's now 18 for 24 from the field in his last three games. He
hounded Razorback All-America Sidney Moncrief all day and
made five steals.
Rich Yonakor led the Heels in scoring with 13.
"Today, I gave more of a spark to the team," Yonakor said.
"When Mike went out I knew it would be me having to make the.
big plays. He usually steals the show."
With O'Koren gone, the 14,000-plus in the coliseum shifted
restlessly. Black got tied up once when it was 60-52, but it was
Carolina's turn o take the ball. Then Moncrief stole it from him
and flew in for a dunk to make it 60-54.
Freshman Scott Hastings comDleted a three-Doint rlav
' i following Black's miss at the line in the last minute to cut it to
V 4$ three. They fouled Black again and this time he came through.
It s gettm to be day in and day out, isn't it?" Black said of the
pressure. "I couldn't think about Duke though, yesterday was

. The Orange Water and Sewer
Authority board of directors voted 7-1
Thursday night to deny the request of
Alert Cable TV of North Carolina to
erect an antenna oh OW AS A'a Carrboro
water tower.
This is the fourth site Alert has
requested and been denied for its antenna
since the Carrboro Board of Alermen
voted to allow it to establish a franchise in
Carrboro about two years ago.
James T. McHugh, Alert's regional
manager, said the company still has
several alternative sites to explore.
OWASA board member . Ernie
Patterson cast the single vote in favor of
Alert. Patterson said that as the OWASA
tower already supports a resucue squad
antenna, he saw no reason to deny Alert
the space.
Board members Patterson and
Braxton Foushee were allowed to vote on
the issue despite a request by Chapel Hill
resident Hilliard Caldwell, who lives near
the water tower, that they be prohibited
from voting. Caldwell had argued that
Patterson and Foushee, as members of
the Carrboro Board of Aldermen that
granted the original franchise request,
should not be allowed to vote again as
members of the OWASA board.
But OW ASA's attorney , Claude V.
Jones, presented a paper at the meeting
stating that the challenged board
members should be allowed to vote.
Caldwell, who presented a petition to
the OWASA board Dec. 8 asking that it
c er.y Alert's request, was pleased with the
c :co e of the vote. T think they

The frrst steps taken Friday were shaky ones as the
ice that covered plants like this one also left
sidewalks and walkways about .town glazed. The
freezing temperatures, though, are here to stay for
awhile; the forecast calls for cold days to come. But,
they should be clear. And that means no ice.
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP)
Vietnamese troops captured the last
urban stronghold of the defeated
Cambodian government's forces, but the
retreating soldiers struck back in isolated
attacks and set up mountain and island
guerrilla bases to carry on the war, Thai
sources said Sunday.
"We will fight until we die," one of the
Cambodian loyalists in the Thai border
area reportedly told a Thai official.
In New York, Cambodian Prince
Norodom Sihanouk, who came to the
United Nations to plead against the
invasion on behalf of the ousted
Cambodian government, was admitted to
Lenox Hill Hospital for extreme stress
and exhaustion. Dr. Michael S. Bruno
said. Details of Sihanouk's condition
were not immediately disclosed.
Armor-led Vietnamese troops were
reported within 15: miles of the Thai
border v having completed a 3 10-mile blitz
through Cambodia in three weeks. The
radio station of the provisional Phnom
Penh government installed by the
Vietnamese said the fall of Premier Pol
Pot's regime touched off nationwide
celebrations. :
Thai sources said the northwestern city

largest, had fallen to the Vietnamese but

From wire reports
WASHINGTON President Carter's long uphill
battle against inflation begins in earnest today as the
96th Congress convenes to examine an austerity budget
he has prepared that cuts billions of dollars from the
normal growth of social programs.
His budget is an attempt to walk an uncertain path
between calls from the right for a balanced federal
budget and warnings that cutting social programs while
exTtmiir.g military spending will divide Democrats.
The administration has hinted that budget cuts will
not be as severe as once contemplated, but the risks in
planning to cool the economy with the 1 980 election year
ar preaching has left many potential supporters in
Ccsfrrss wary. Opponents in both parties are poised to
attack should Carter's anti-inflation strategy show signs
of failure.
The White House has already begun shoring up its
forces in anticipation of the budget skirmish. The White
House congressional relations staff, led by Frank
Moore, has borrowed three experienced lobbyists from
other agencies and another is to be recruited from a
congressional staff. A New York Times survey showed
that voters put a slightly more conservative House of
Representatives in office, but the White House still is
braced for a tough fight to hold the budget deficit to $30
billion. Republicans may oppose the budget for partisan
reasons, while, liberal Democrats like Sens. Edward
Kennedy and George McGovern have opposed
increasing spending for the armed forces while cutting
back on social programs. Interest groups, including,
organized labor and consumer groups, are likely to back
this stance.
Economic predictions for this fall already differ
between Congress and the administrationThe
Congressional Budget Office predicts the fall will bring a
recession, while the administration forecast calls only
for a gentle downturn in the economy.
Most of the Congressional leaders have been selected
by now. The House Appropriations Committee
chairperson is the only major contest remaining.
House liberals are trying to ignore the seniority system
and seat Rep. Edward Boland, D-Mass., as chairperson
of the committee instead of conservative Rep. Jamie
Whitten, D-Mass. The outcome could be crucial to
Carter's austerity budget plans. House Speaker Thomas
P. "Tip" O'Neill is publicly committed to Whitten, but
he is a long-time friend of Boland.
Today's activities in the House and Senate will be
routine ceremonial and housekeeping chores. Members
will be sworn in and the" already-designated leaders
approved for new two-year terms. O'Neill will remain
House speaker and Sen. Robert Byrd will again be
Senate majority, leader. Republican leaders Howard
Baker in the Senate and John Rhodes in the House will
keep their jobs. Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska is expected
to survive a challenge from Sen. Harrison Schmidt of
New Mexico to keep his seat as assistant Senate majority
leader.
Despite Republican gains resulting from a more
conservative-minded electorate last November,
Democrats remain firmly entrenched in both chambers.
Democrats hold a 59-4 1 margin in the Senate and a 277
158 edge in the House. '
Liberal Democrats, efforts to seat Boland really begin
later this week when the Democratic caucus meets to
rule on committee leaderships. Whitten, long-time
chairperson of the agriculture appropriations
subcommittee, is in line to succeed Rep. George Mahon
of Texas for the important pest. Mahon did not seek re
election. The liberal critics have argued Whitten is too
conservative for the spending job and seldom sides with
party leaders-on major issues.
were staging hit-and-run attacks against
the victors. Sources also said there were
signs of stiff counterattacks in other
areas, some of which had been bypassed
in the lightning drive by Vietnam's tanks
and mechanized infantry. '
"In many areas right now, the
Vietnamese only control the space that a
tank , comes through," said one analyst,
who like the others asked that he not be
identified.
Western sources here said soldiers of
the defeated regime were retreating to the
Cardamom and Elephant mountains in
the southwest. Thai sources said some
loyalists were setting up headquarters on
the island of Kong off southwestern
Cambodia and that fighting continued
near the deepwater port of Kompong
Som. The provisional government of the
Hanoi-backed Kampuchea Cambodia
National United Front for National
Salvation had claimed to control the
port.
Western sources said Kong, in the Gulf
of Thailand just off the Cambodian coast,
would be a logical supply link to tfie
mountain bases if China carried out its
promise to back a guerrilla war.
Thai sources said Vietnamese troops
were on the approaches to the
Cambodian-Thai border town of Poipet,
which is still in the hands of the former
rejjLme's troops.
