KMCagersSweep Lincointon, Belmont Baines Hits 26 to Lead 70-50 »- Win OvBt Lines In short, to let head coach Tom Harp summarize, Duke’s 1969 football outlook is “expected improvement on defense, especially with the presence of more speed in the i . secondary. I hope our offense with the number of returnees p_3|,eoiand combined with our defense should give us a much improv- p_smjth ed football team.” ^ K—Ward Tom Harp’s assessment of the 1969 Atlantic Coast ■ ^“g®^*^*”*^®** Conference race: “North Carolina State, with everyone; eligible from its undefeated freshman team of two seasons gubs: Rodgers 3. back, will have an unusual abundance of fine material. And, South Carolina: how many unbeaten frosh teams have they had now? Clemson, I think, will be.strong. The rest of us? I’d say we’d be in there scrambling.
