North Carolina displayed

a 7-3 win over Wake Forest
but one of the few brtgbt mo
ments was when Rusty Cul-
breth stepped into the role of
safetyman in fielding punts.
He hauled six for89yardsand
twice almost broke away.
"I knew I was going to get
the chance,” aaldCulbreth,”!
was really pleased.” Cul-
breth had been seeing defen
sive duty but had not carried
the ball in earlier games be
cause of a knee injury. The
Tar Heels need Culbretb’s
spe^and shiftiness and he's
won deep position for the
remainder of tbe season.

Affloung the men who idayed

The Buckeyes under Hayes
always play a solid schedule
featuring Bit Ten teams but
Woody ranks 6th among act

His winning percentage is a-

triumphs against 55 losses
and 7 ties.
I’m not sure the bookies (eel
kindly toward the Carolina
Cougars of tbe ABA. The
Cougars played at Utah last
week and lost by 57 points.
They pUyed a second game
at Greensboro and tbeCou-

points. Can tbe home court
advantage mean that much?
Or did the Cougars toss in tbe
towel alter tbe first period
at Utah?

North Carolina’s 1946, 1947
and 1948 teams will bold a
reunim at Chapel Hill this
week and the coach of that
stalwart band of men, Carl
Snavely, is coming in to re
new acquaintances.
Snavely, now 82, retired
from active coachi^ a num
ber of years ago but be has
been quite successful in tbe
car wash business in St
Louis. Tbe single wing, which
Snavely pioneered, is all but
obsolete in tbe modern game.
A trtple-threatbacknowadays
is a rare individual but
Snavely demanded his tail
back be a flrs-rate kicker,
passer and runner. He bad one
ot tbe best in Charlie (Cboo-

When the Associated Press
selected it’s 1971 All-Major
League team not a single
Baltimore Orioles squadman
made tbe list Which should
be a Up-off that those late-
season comments by many
baseball men declaring tbe
Orioles greater than any of tbe
old Yankee machines was
somewhat exaggerated.
Before the World Series,
began, Earl Weaver of the
Orioles commented that Phil
Rlzzuto, ace of the Yankees
infield lor many years, could
n’t make his team. Rizzuto
laughed it off by saying,“At
my age, I couldn’t make a
Little League team.”

Comment On Sports
BASEBALL * * *
BY PETE FRlTCHIE
Washington, D. C. —The
aftermath of Baltimore’s
defeat in the World Series
continues to raise doubts
about that team’s grandiose
claim to greatness. Earl
Weaver, who blundered when
he said it. claimed during
the Series his team was
baseball’s best ever.
If the Pirates needed an
extra incentive, that was it.
Aside from that, a team
which loses two Series out of
three in three years doesn’t
have a right to claim that
much. That’s especially
true when one considers
that Baltimore won the first
two and then lost four out
of five.
That sort of staying power
isn’t impressive. Baltimore,
of course, has fine pitching.
The club has a fine farm
system. But the suspicion
grows that the present
team’s stars are losing some
of their shine. Frank Robin
son. getting older, criticized
Boog Powell’s cut-off play
in the final game of the
Series in the press. He
didn’t mention that he pop
ped up in the two crucial
at-bats he had late in the
same game.
Powell, though hurt, was
a weak bat. Brooks Robin
son, 1970’s hero, showed
relatively little clutch
power. Neither Don Buford,
Baltimore’s unsung star in
the late games, nor Dave
Johnson, could produce a
single to tie the score in the
eighth inning of the final
game with men on 2nd and
3rd. That isn’t champion
ship stuff.
There is little inclination
to believe Powell, the Rob
insons and other Orioles
will be better in 1972. Nor
is it likely the O’s will
have four twenty-game win
ners again.
