Former North Carolina
broadcaster Bill Currie, now

great length about the ills of
long-haired boys. Currie re
turned to the Tar Heel state
recently and was seen with
curly locks down his neck,
mod clothes and granny glas-
^^Ithough the attempt at
northeastern flair was there,
the Mouth still looked as coun
try as Ware Shoals.
William and Mary football
coach Lou Holtz Is being men
tioned prominently as the next
coach at N.C. State. Says
Holtz: "I’m tired of hearing
about It. It’s not fair to me,
to A1 Mlcheals, to my players
or to State’s players. The way
I’m coaching, I don’t see why
anyone would want to hire me,
I just hope I don’t get fired by
William and Mary..’’ Speak
ing of the Wolfpack, Ai Mlch
eals must have the toughest
job In the college ranks. His
players know he won’t be back
and their performance this
year has been about as Inspir
ational as an afternoon tea.

North Carolina and Duke are
being considered for the
(what)? Fiesta Bowl, the first
annual, to be played In
Phoenix. That ought to rank
with the Tangerine Bowl as
one of the great ones. . The

year? How about Alabama vs.
the winner of Oklahome-Ne-

Dot Nottingham, the rookie
running back for the Balti

fire hydrant. After he was
drafted last, the Colts’ train
ers told Nottingham he needed
to go on a weight-lifting pro
gram.
They pointed the little man
to the training room, where
he promptly jerked 300 lbs.
over his bead. "That’s enough
of that,’’ said the shocked ex
perts.
At the half-way point In the
professional football season,

Most disappointing teams:

Death On
The Gridiron
The recent death of Charles (Chuck) Hughes of the
Detroit Lions on the football field shocked members of his
team, fans and the nation in general. There is, of course,
something disturbing about any violent game which leaves
a 28-year-old dead on the field.
But pro football has experienced surprisingly few deaths,
traced to the violence of the game, six in all. The preceding
fatality occurred six years ago. Thus profession^ football
and boxing, while killing occasionally, have not been
wholesale killers, even though it might be said that one
death is too much, as has been car racing.
The objection of thinking sportsmen to American foot
ball’s violence does not refer primarily to the pros. Pro
fessional players are of age and are making their living by
risking injuries, health and life. The objection is .such vio
lence by youngsters in high .school and college, where
over-emphasis and the tri'mendous pressure of the “ama
teur” game produces more death than in pro ball.
This year there have been a number of deaths, as every
year, among players in high school and college. While
American football is a wonderful game, excessive violence
is possible, and oi-curs. This aspect of the siwrt, though
hard-knocking and rough play thrill fans and draw crowds,
' ould be eliminated.
I reserve the right to switch
before Dec. 1, but the ACC
basketball race looks like
this: UNC. Maryland, N.C.
Slate, Duke, Virginia, Wake
Forest, and Clemson...And in
the Southern Conference,
Furman has to be favored over
Davidson. Joe Williams
means business down at
Greenville, S.C.
***
The death of Detroit football
player Chuck Hughes was in
deed sad but those who point
an accusing finger at football
In this case leave me cold.
With Hughes’ physical condi
tion, he could have died run
ning to catch a bus.

Ga. Tech’s Bud Carson Is a
gifted football coach who Is
receiving shabby treatment
from the fans. They give Tech
a schedule that looks like It
came from the National Foot
ball Conference and then tell
Carson: "Go out and win at
least eight.’’
In North Carolina, there is
this 30 minutes of radio every
Saturday afternoon that is
billed as the "Most Complete
Football Scoreboard on
Radio.’’ Only trouble Is, they
don’t give any scores.
All of you know that Carolina
Cougars Coach Tom Mesch-
ery likes to write poetry. Af
ter nearly a dozen games In
the ABA, I cite Ecclesiastes
9, verse 11, in hopes It will
give Meschery the strength
to continue:
“The race Is not to the swift,
nor the battle to the strong.’’

College Forecast
BY PETE FRITCHIE
Washington, D. C. —The
ding-dong college football
games in late November are
obviously Alabama’s go at
Auburn November 27th at
Birmingham, Michigan’s
home meeting with Ohio
State on the 20th and Okla
homa’s attack on Nebraska
at Norman, Oklahoma on the
25th.
The outcome of those
games will almost surety
decide the question of num
ber-one in the polls in col
lege football. There are
other great teams"Georgia
is one—but these three games
are the key to the 1971
season.
That being so, the reader
will be interested in know
ing that a special crystal
ball has given us an infalli
ble line on the outcome of
these games. Don’t bet too
heavily on it but here are
the outcomes, in advance;
Alabama will defeat
Auburn after a great show
by Auburn quarterback Pat
Sullivan. The Crimson Tide
seems too strong overall for
the Plainsmen. That could
make Alabama number two
or number one.
Oklahoma will win against
mighty Nebraska. The Soon-
ers have probably played a
tougher schedule and they
have a high-scoring, fast
offense. It’s significant that
they’re piaying at home,
though a wet field could
hurt them. This win might
make them number one.
Ohio State will upset
mighty Michigan, on Michi
gan’s home field.

both wins have been on the
road. The Bulldogs scored a
24-6 win over Lenoir Rhyne

Bulldogs at home include
Newberry, Samford, Carson-
Newman and Presbyterian,
