Glenn Perkina, Tack Bell, BoS Hussey took avei Herald Sp.ort By GARY STKWART Carolina ACC's And South's Hope , The University of North Carolina basketball ^ team looks ^s-il-it wm be tbe the South’s hope this year in the NCAA basketbatl play Coach bean Smith's Tar Heels own a perfect 6-0 slate right now and UNC fans are already comparing the team -to the 1957 squad which won 32 games. Carolina, a young team with two sophomores and two juniors in the starting lineup, seems to be the one team the country that could stand a chance of beating the talented UCLA Bruins. • k ♦u ad UCLA, the nation’s number one team in both the AF and UPI polls, has already humiliated one ACC power, Duke The Blue Devils, with Coach Vic Bubas sporting one of the best (if not THE best) records in the nation, have had their ups and downs this year. Duke lost to Virginia Tech in the season’s opener, then beat Michigan, but lost two straight when it when it went to the West Coast to meet UCLA. , ttdt Carolina is currently rated number two in the UFl poll and third in the AP ratings. The UPI is considered by most as th& real rating because of the fact that it s meni- bers are coaches, and they’re supposed to be the best qual ified when it comes to spotting real talent. Carolina was said to have had the best scoring com bination in the country, last season with Bob Lewis and Larry Miller. Miller, a junior, is currently stripping the nets for the highest average on the UNC squad while Lew is has dropped to the team’s second spot. But this year the Tar Heels have heighth, also. Sop homore center Rusty Clark (6’11”) is controlling the boards for UNC and with scorers like Lewis and Miller and guard Dick Grubar, Who needs more? Carolina undoubtedly has the best team in the ACC and this part of the South, so there’s a goqd chance that the Tar Heels might get to go up against UCLA. There’s another team that’s loaded with heighth and young ball players. The big man, sophomore Lew Alcindor, is leading the nation in scoring (average-wise) and is be ing regarded as one of the best prospects since the likes bf Wilt (Thamberlain and Oscar Robertson. ■\ Duke has held the big man to less points than any pother team the Bruins have played. The Blue Devils held 'Alcindor to only 19 points in their first meeting. However, Duke had three men guarding the big boy and that left other members of the UCLA squad open.^,, Poh*t Count The Devils Out, Though n* Duke has had its problems during the early-going, but remernber ... VioBubas is one of the ^smartest coaches in the business and you can bet that hC’ll have his boys in the thick of things all the way. I ’ The Blue Devils have the rebounding strength (most of the time) with men like Bob Riedy, Mike Lewis and "Warren Chapman, and have one of the best scorers and Aackcourt men in the nation in senior guard Bob Verga. Verga cashed in on some second and third team All- ‘America honors last year and he'll be one of the top prospects for a first team berth when voting-time comes around this year. Of course, a lot of things can happen before time for the ACC tournament, but you can tap UNC and Duke as the top contenders for the championship right now, with jlatylaud and possibly Wake Forest and South Carolina having an outside chance. DAVIDSON, TOO, FINDS GOING ROUGH A little closer home, Davidson’s Wildcats, usually the power of the Southern Conference have also found the go ing rough in the early stages. The 'Cats even lost to George Washington so it looks like West Virginia might be the winner in the SC this time. By GABY I The Frank B. Olass Post 9811 F. W. T^nor Baseball team * brought the biggest honor to i Kings Mountain during the atn- i letic year 1966. 1 The'^ local Teeners won the I state and Area IV Eastern I^g- ' ionals Championships and iln- i ished third in the Teener World I Series in Herslu‘\.

The locals then Won two straight and got a bye before being beaten by Gastonia in the semi-finaT^~or~ihe' state tourney. The loss to Ga.stonia threw KM into the finals against Coach Russ Bergman's Gaston County lads, who have dominated the N. C. Teener scene until recently. A dramatic eightli-inning home run by Wayne .Mullinax gave over Gastonia for the state title. Right-hand pitcher Darrell Whetstine won the state tourney niost valuable player awiird with Mullinax finishing second in the ballotijig. The locals then went norih>- ward for the National finals. KM lost its first noatch, a S-4,setback by Bellefonte, Pa. Bui the Post ^11 boys came back and won consecutive games against Pitt man, N. J., Pierre, S.

The Mountaineers led the game from the word say go. The first quarter score read 9-3 in favor of Kings Mountain.
