This time a year ago, Coach Jack McCloskey wasn't saying very much about his basketball team. When he finally did say something. it was the far from encouraging admission t.hat, "One of our greatest strengths will be prayer.''
The atmosphere of merriment around the basketball
. office and the cautious optimism of McCloskey's recent statements indicate that the Deacons are going to do less praying and more playing this year.
Improved Club
"There is no doubt in my m·ind that we have an improved ball club over last year,·' McCloskey s~id, but he added warily, "Whether ~e will win any more games Js questionable."
frosh and will probably lead the varsity in scoring this year.
The other member of the Baby Deac Demolition Duo is Norwood Todmann, a New York City resident who played with Lew Alcindor in high school and later broke some of his scoring records. He averaged 23.7 po·ints a game I2st year.
Bo·th Todmann and Walker, a Williamsburg, Va., resident, played in the backcourt last season, but Walker will see some action at forward this year. He is 6-3, 205 pounds. and McCloskey compares his build to that of Larry Miller, North Carolina All-American.
Todmann is 6-3 but weighs only 180, and he is not so physically strong as Walker. He is a good ball handler and will play guard.
McCloskey said that both Walker and Todmann were deficient on defense but have made great improvement.

Termed 'Very Adequate'
McCloskey said both Habeggar and Ackley are "fairly good on the boards" and that they run well for their size. He was not too impressed with them as freshmen, but he said they have improved considerably and will be "very adequate."
The other two sophomores add depth in the backcourt. They are 5-10, 175-pound David Smith from Raleigh and 5-11, 175-pound Tom Lynch from Barrington, Ill.
Smith, who was bothered by a shoulder ailment for the first few weeks of practice, is a slick ball handler and an aggressive defensive player. Lynch is also a good ball handler and a fine shoo-ter-

Although Stroupe seldom shoots, he often hits when he does. He was third in the ACC with a 52.8 field goal percent-

Deacs Face 'Pack In Season Opener
By RICHARD SINK STAFF WRITER
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons and the N. C. State Wolfpack begin their 1967-68 basketball seasons this Saturday night at Memorial Coliseum. Tipoff is set for 8:00 with a freshman game between the two schools preceding at 6:00.
Wake Forest will be trying to improve on a 5-9 conference mark and a 9-18 overall record of last season. In Coach Jack McCloskey's first season last year, the Deacons finished in a tie with Maryland for fifth place in the ACC.
N. C. State, on the other hand, finished in the conference cellar last year with a 2-12 ACC slate and overall was 7-19. Last year was also Coach Norman Sloan's first year at State.
Last year the Deacons and the Wolfpack ·split in their two contests. Wake Forest opened their conference season against N. C. State at Raleigh and defeated th_e Wolfpack handily by 18 points, 99-81.
However, late in the season at Winston-Salem, state won one of their two conference games of the year by: defeating the Deacons in a regionally televised game 61-59 in overtime.
This year both teams seem to be vastly improved. State's Eddie Biedenbach, an All-ACC guard two years ago, returns after missing all of last season with a back injury. This 6-2 playmaker averaged 16.2 to lead the Wolfpack in ·the scoring department two seasons ago.
Although the Deacons lost their leading scorer, ·Paul Long, who was All-ACC with a 22.3 scoring average, Wake. Forest does have some good returning lettermen plus some fine sophomores up from a 12-4 freshman team.
Seniors Dave Stroupe, Newton Scott, Paul Crinkley, and Jimmy Broadway and juniors Jerry Montgomery and Jay Randall gave McCloskey a good nucleus to work with.
Any of the sophomores -Dickie Walker, Norwood Tadmann, Dan Acldey, and Larry Habegger~could be starters at some time this season. Walker is expected to open the season at either forward or guard after averaging 28.3 points a game last year as a freshman.
Preceding the varsity contest is the Wake Forest-N. C .
. State freshman game. The Baby Deacons are expected to -have one of the· strongest
. freshman teams in the ACC this year, and the Wolf!ets seem to be just as strong as the Deacon frosh.
WAKE'S NORWOOD TODMANN goes up over a Duke defender in a freshman con,test .played last year. Todinann was the second leading scorer on the Baby Deacon team
with a 23.7 avemge. Todmann, along with five other sophomores; will make their varsity debut this . Saturday night at Memorial Coliseum against the State Wolfpack.
·The Frank A. Stith. Company-.
wishes Coach McCloskey, Qaptain David Stroupe, and the Demon Deacons the best of luck for a successful
· basketball season. Make the basketball season begin like the football season ended.

McCloskey Restores Winning Cage. Spirit
OLD GOLD AND BLACK Monday, Nov. 2'1, 116'1 PAGE 5
By RUDY ASHTON ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
In !his second year at Wake Forest, head basketball coach Jack McCloskey brings a heralded past and optimistic future to Deacon basketball fans.
'l'he "whoop and holler" type coach guided a mediocre team to a 9-18 season last year. Among the defeats were .close 76-74 and 75-73 losses tQ UNC, the· number three team· in the nation, and 88-82 and 59-58 losses to nationally ranked Vanderbilt and Cincinatti.
The declining basketball situation at Wake Forest, which was ctimaxed by the sudden resignation on Bones McKin· ney in the fall of 1965, was the reason ·for hiring McClos· key.
Splrit Needed
It was felt by . school ofricials that a.' new spirit and vitality had -~ be in~ected i!l- ' to· t:ne· basketball program m order to raiSe it back to the standards of 1962, ·when the Deacons finished third in the nation. Because of his creden- · tials of experience, stamina; and success, McCloskey was .hired· to lead Wake Foresfs ''new look."
McCloskey began his college career at the University of Pittsburgh, but it was interrupted. by World War ll. He served as an ensign in . the
Navy, and in 1943. tbe _Navy. sent ·him to the Uwvers'ity of Pennsylvania for an officer training program.
At Penn he was a star in football and baseball as well as basketball. After being discharged from the service, he continued his education and also played professional baseball and basketball.
Eastern MVP
In the Eastern Basketball League he played for Wilmington and! Sunbury, mak· ing all-league five times, and was voted the league's most valuable player in 1953 and 1954.
In 1954 he joined the Penn coaching staff and in 1957 was made head basketball coach. His ten-year record at Penn included 146 wins and 105 losses for a .581 percentage. In Ivy League competition his record was 83-53 for a .621 mark.
· His 1965-1966 crew compiled a 19-6 overald :mark and ·won the :r.vy League championship with a 12-2 record. However his team did not play in the NCAA playoffs due to a dispute· over minimum grade requirements.
The reason McCloskey left C:I secure position to come to Wake Forest was because he wanted "the opporiunity to be the best in ~ count-Y'"

Deaclets Quick, Good· Ballhandlers By BILL UPTON
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
Overall quickness, good ballhandling, and fine shooting are the major assets of the 1967-68 edi·tion of the Wake Forest freshman basketball squad, accordling to roach Neil Johnston.
"The boys ·are all sound team players and handle the ball well," said Johnston, "and I expect them to progress much further in this direction as the season goes by."
'Ibe four players on scholarship for the Baby Deacs have perfonned: well in practice thus far, and are expected to do much of the playing when the season officially begins.
Scholarship players Charles
Davis, a 6-1 sharpshooter from New York City by way of Laurinburg Institute, and
6-3 Bob Rhoads, of Mercer, Pa., are slated for the bulk of the duty at guard. Bob Kretz (6-o), Jim Eschen (5-10), Bill Arthur (5-8), and Phil Capel ( 6-1) are also in the running for the guard positions.
Neil Pastushok, · a 6-4 forward from Roselle Park, N. J., is a scholarship athlete who will see a lot of action up front, while Bo DuBose (6-3) and John Bamavic (6-2) are battling for the other forward post. Russ Mayer, who can also play center at 6-3, and Rhoads round out the corps.
Gilbert Mcuregor is slated to start at the pivot and is

expected to bear the rebounding burden for t·he Baby Deacs. The 6-7, 240 pound center is a key ma111 in the Baby Deac attack. "H we can get the ball off the boards, and McGregor is the key here, we can run and fast break, and! make use of our ballhandling ability," Johnston said.
The coach sees two major problems for the freshmen. One is the overall lack of height (except for McGregor), Qnd the other is the defense. "Defensive problems are typical of a; freslunan ballclub," said Johnston," and many of these deficiencies will be corrected as the players get more experience."
Johnston sees Duke as the most dangerous competitor of

UCLA May Be Best Teain Ever; By DOUG BUCKLEY
STAFF WRITER
As usual, it is a difficu 1t task to pick the nation's top college basketball teams before the season starts. The choice of UCLA as the country's number one team is about the only pick that will receive universal approval. The other 19 teams could probably be placed in almost any order.
Without adding anymore excuses, here is the Old Gold
~
and Black sports staff's top teams. Certainly, the list will change once the season starts due to upsets. injuries ineligibilities, and other factors.
UCLA 1. UCLA: The Bruins coached
by John Wooden ar.e the defending national champions, coming off a 30-0 season. UCLA will not be able to improve on that record, but the team may

actually be ~tronger than the one of a year ago.
The return of \'(.!teran forwards Edgar Lacey t 6-6) and MiJ: .. e Lynn ( (i-7) will be the principal reasons for the improvement. Both are potential All-Americans and will add the rebounding punch that UCLA lacked at the forward position last year. Lacey did not play last season because of a broken knee, while Lynn was susp~nded from the team.
Also returning this · season, will be all five starters from last season's undefeated team, junior Lew Alcindor (7-1%) will again be the key man on the team with his scoring, rebounding, and defensive abilities.
The Bruin guards will again be Lucius Allen (15.5) and Mike Warren (12.7). Both Allen and Warren are quick guards, good ball- handlers, and are capable of engineering UCLA's famed full court

press. The other two returning
~tarters are Juniors Lynn Shackelford ( 6-5). and Kenny Heitz ( 6-:~). Although they did outstanding jobs last year, Shackelford and Heitz will probably be replaced by Lacey and Lynn in thP starting lineup. Shackelford, who is an outstanding southpaw shooter, may develop ini.o an excellent sixth man along the lines of Billy Cunningham and John Havlicek. ·
This team may be the greatest in the history of college basketbrul. Any game UCLA loses will have to be considered one of the greatest upsets in sports history.
L~ouisville
Louisville. However, the long awai.ted meeting ·never did tal\e place as the Cardinals were eliminated by SMU in the regional .semi-final. Louisville will get a chance to redeem itself this year and just may make the most of the opportunity.
3. Kansas: The . Jayhawks were 23-4 last year under
· coach Ted Owens and may have enough returning talent to equal last season's imp~essive record. Main returnees are 6-6 forward Rodger Boh- . nenstiehl and 6-3 Jo Jo· White. Bohnenstiehl was: .the leading scorer a year ago with a 16.4 average and likes to operate £rom the pivot.
Although not a big scorer (14.8)) White has to be oonsidered one of the best allaround_ players in the·. country ·t;:~"·:-·
. 2. Louisville: After 19 years ·as an assistant coach to the retired Peck Hickman,_ John Dromo takes over as the Louisville head coach and inherits a million dollars·. worth Of talent .. ·The Caroinals··lose:.oi:Jly Eddie- · :~:~:· Gilbert from last season's starting five and with the midseason addition of '6-8 Mike Grosso, -Louisville might be ready to challenge UCLA by . the :time the NCAA tourna-ment rolls around. ·. · In case you have forgotten·, ·Grosso was the lad who aver-
. aged 22.7 point$ and 26 rebounds· a game for the South Carolina frosh before being .. forced to. transfer . because of an ·eligibility problem.
The most important returning veterans are senior Wesley Unseld and Butch Beard. Unseld is 6-8, . weighs 250 pounds, and is a genuine AllAmerican ·performer. · He is not a spectacular . player and is not a great shooter~ but Unseld is amazingly strong under the boards and -is as goOd as Cham;. berlain and Russet in grabbing a rebound and starting the fast break. ,
Unseld wilLprobably have to adjust to the forward position when Grosse;> ·becomes eligible. Be.ard' is the man- who leads the fast breaks· that . Unseld starts. Averaging 20.9· points per contest last· season, Butch is another All-American and at
. 6-3 is capable of playing either guard or forward.. · · Last season, the-. Cardinals spent the entire season looking forward to their ~ig meeting with UCLA iii the finals of the NCAA tournament piayed in
. JO JO WHITE. KANSAS
due to his g·reat defensive and· ball ban<\Jing abilities.
Center . Vernon Vanoy (6-8) also returns, but will be pressed for his starting position by Greg Douglas, a 6-_!! junior col-
. leg~ transfer. The other start, ers Will m.ost likely be . 6-5 Bruae Sloan (5.4) and 6-4 Phil Harmon (6.3). Rich Bradshaw. is the best of the rising' sophomores and could break into the lineup.
The Jayhawks meet Louis'ville in an ea:rly season clash ori their home court and this game will ·be a good ·indication of Kansas•· chances for national homrs. Since Kansas defeate<i Louisville in last year's regional consolation round, the Cardinals will obviously be gunning for revenge.
Dayton 4. Dayton: The Flyers were
the stirprise of the nation. a year ago as they finished second in the NCAA tourney. Dayton may very well be able to finish that high again if Don May's gimpy knees hold up. May is not only -a great scorer (22.2), but at 6-4 is also- a fantastic board man shown by his average of 16.7 rebounds a game.
May's supporting cast will include. 6-6 Junior Dan Sad• Iier and' seniors ·Bobby Hop_per and Rudy Waterman. Sad-

Louisville- Should ·Lead Also-Rans (Continued from Page 10)
Flyers must find a center. Dayton coach Don Donocher has three players from which . to choose. 6-10 Junior . Dan Obrovac is one candidate but has shooting problems, while the other candidates, 6-7 Ned Sharpenter and 6-8 George Janky, lack experience.
Houston 5. Houston: The Cougars,
coached by Guy Lewis, will again be one of the nation's top basketball teams and would have been ranked even higher if they had not run into preseason difficulties. First, 6:-7 forward Melvin Bell (12.8) suffered a knee injury and will be out for the entire season. Then, 6-10 soph Mars Evans, who averaged 26.3 as a freshman breaking Bell's school record, decided to transfer. '
Ali is not lost for ·Houston, as they have some of their . top players returning, including 6-8 All-American Elvin (Big E) Hayes. ·Despite the fact that he likes to brag. a lot and enjoys watching cartoons on Saturday morning, Elvin is an outstanding ballplayer and is a match for anyone on any given night as cleaz:ly shown by his 25 point, 24 rebound output· against UCLA. On the
· season, the Big E averaged 28.4 points· and 15.7 reboundS'.
Don Chaney (6-3) also is back f.ram last year's 27-4. team and undoubtedly will receive some All-American mention. Chaney specializes in defense, but also averaged 15.3 last year. Veteran Ken· Spain (6-9), 6-2 Tom Cribben, who averaged 24.3 for the frosh, and Vern Lewis, the son of the coach, . will probably round- out the starting five.
North Carolina 6. North Carolina: After a
fourth place finish in the NCAA toUrnament last year,. the Tar Heels have only to replace starting . guard . Bob.· · Lewis. However, the Tar H~els' big-
. gest loss may be assistant coach Larry Brown ·who . left North Carolina to play basketball for the New Orleans Buc·Caneers of the ABA. (For an analysis of this year's Tar Heel team, see story on page B4.)
Princ·.eton 7. Princeton: Pete Caril re
places wildman Butch van Breda Kolff as head coach, but there is no reason to believe that the Tiger will not equal its 25-3 record of a year ago. Playmaker Gary Walters and Captain Ed Hummer have graduated, but the sophs will provide more than adequate replacements. 6-3 Jeff Petrie, a three sport high school AllAmerican who had originally ~igned a letter of intent r1t .. Wake Porcst. \\'ill replacr. W;Jlters at guard. while fi-7 John Hummer will take his older brother's forward spot.
Junior Chris Thomforde (6-9) and 6~2 Senior Joe Heiser will again provide most of the Tiger scoring. Heiser, who averaged 15.1 last season. has a soft scoring touch cmd figures tn improve on that performanr.:e. Likewise. Thomfordc is also a fine shooter and will definitel·v increase on his 15.0 average with the added year's experience.
John llum·low! the last of
the great Haarlow tradition at Princeton, will return to the forward spot he occJipied last season. Haarlow is a steady player who can always be counted upon for a good night's work.
Boston College 8. Boston College: Coach Bob
Cousy is ready to lead the Eagles in their quest. to equal or improve upon last season's 23-3 mark. The Boston College talented array is led by senior Steve Adelman (19.0 points). Adelman (6-6) is an outstanding outside shooter and likes to use the backboard a· la Sam Jones. His sub-par NCAA performances were costly to the Eagles a year ago.
Most of the other key players return as well, as the Eagles lose only center Willie Wolters. Terry Driscoll 6-7 and 6-8 Captain Jim Kisane will again provide the height. Little Billy Evans (5-11) was
outstanding as a sophomore playmaker and should be as good this season. He may be joined in the backcourt by 6-4 Bob Dukiet who averaged 26.5 as a freshman.
Cousy likes to concentrate on offense and consequently his team will do a lot of scoring but give up many points in the process. Thus, the Eagles will definitely have to improve their defense if they ate to challenge for national honors.
Indiana 9. Indiana surprised every-
. one a year ago by becoming co-champion of the Big Ten and gaining an NCAA berth. The Hoosiers have three of their starters back and appear to have two sophs capable of filling the vacated spots.
Coach Lou Watson has last year's leading scorer and rebotmder, 6-4 Butch Joyner heading the returning cast.

Joyner averaged 18.5 points and 10.5 rebounds and may receive All-American mention this year. Playmaker Vern Payne also returns as well us 6-8 center Bill DeHeer. DeHeer averaged only 9.1 points and will have to improve on that performance this season.
Sophomore Joe Cooke, who led the frosh with a 26.7 scoring average, will play guard with Payne. Despite his lack of size at 6-2, Cooke jumps well and will provide additional board strength. The other starter will be 6-6 soph Ken Johnson (19.3).
Vanderbilt 10. Vanderbilt: The Commo
C:ores were 21-5 last season under coach Roy Skinner and will be gunning to win the SEC title that they lost to Tennessee last year. Once again Vandy will lack height, but the Commodores are one . of the best shooting quintets in
the country, as born out by their 50.4 shooting percentage a year ago.
Top man will be junior Tom Hagan, the brother of the Dallas Chaparral player-coach. Hagan is a 6-3 guard who averaged 17.0 points per game to lead the Commodores' balIanc2<1 scoring attack. Also
· back are Bo Wyenandt, who averaged 16.5 from his forward position, and 6-5 Bob Warren, the team's leading reboun<.ler.
Perry Wallace (6-5J, the first Negro ever to play in the SEC, may move into the center position. Wallace is a jumping jack who aver2ged 28 rebounds a game for the frosh to break Clyde Lee!s school record.

Writers Pick Heels First,
DeacsFourth The Tar Heels of North Caro
lina will repeat as ACC basketball champions this season, according to 39 of 40 sports writers who attended the ACC's "Operation Basketball" meeting at Greensboro last week.
The lone writer who did not pick the Tar Heels chose South Carolina to# win and rated UNC second.
The voting was based on eight points for a first place selection, seven for second, six for third, etc.
North Carolina received 319 points of a possible 320. South Carolina followeti with 272 points; Duke placed third with 243; and Wake Forest nipped N. C. State for the other first-division berth, 186 to 176.
Maryland finished sixth with 103 points; Virginia was seventh with 91; and Clemson ended up in the cellar with only 50 points.
Duke, winner of the ACC crown three times in the last five years, drew nine secondplace votes and 27 third-place selections.
South Carolina drew 30 second-place votes and nine thirdplace choices.
The basketball meeting was the sixth annual session of interviews by the press, radio and television of the eight ACC coaches.

The varsity basketball team will make its season debut and the freshman players will make theii first appearance in Wake Forest uniforms when the two clash in the annual Old Gold and Black game tonight at 8 o'clock in the Winston-Salem Coliseum. Admission will be $1.00.
Sponsored by the Wake F,orest Monogram Club, the game gives Deacon fans a chance to see the teams before regular-season play begin on Saturday. Last year the freshmen shocked the varsi,ty with a 95-93 victory.
Freshmen Gilbert McGregor, Bob Rhoades, Neil Pastusho.ck and Char lie Davis form the nucleus of a squad possibly as good as last year's team, so this year's battle should be just as close.

Long Gone, But MeDiory ReDiains
Help F~om The Bench
Former Scoring Leader Plays For Detroit. Tea~n
Wihen Wake Forest opens its 1967-68 basketball season here Saturday night against N. C. State, one familiar face will be missing from the Deacon lineup: Paul .Long.
Although he played only two seasons, Long established: himself as a ·tremendous performer and a crowd pleasing :player. This he did in part i~ his first game as a Deacon when he scored 34 points; from then on he added icing to the cake.
Hardly a game passed that he didn't bring .scores of ooh's and ab's from the fans with his driving, twisting. layups and his long, high-arching jump shout 'Even though he was one of Wake's great individual players.
Long played for the team. Last year he was recognized as the hub around which Wake's offense revolved.
In fact Long's greatest asset was his fine shooting. Deacon head basketball coach Jack McCloskey on<:e called Long "one of the best shooters I have ever seen."
He led the team in scoring both seasons he was at Wake, averaging 22.3 points per game last year andl 24 per game his junior year. In addition he finished second~ both years 'in the race for ACC individual scoring boJlOI's·.
Long was an All-ACC selection for two seasons, making first team last year and second team his junior year.
Captain of the Deacon team last year, Long began his collegiate basketball career at Virginia Tech. He: was second leading scorer for the Tech varsity in 1964 as a sophomore with a 16.2 average.
A native of Louisville, Ky., Long transferred' to Wake Forest in the fall of 1964. He sat out the 1965 season in order to establish eligibility.
Last year he finished! second in the ACC in free throw shooting · witb .830 accuracy, making goodi on 132 of 159 attempts and
finished fourth iD field goal accuracy with a .513 rate. His stand out games as far as number of points scored were
a·gainst Davidson his: jt.mior year when he scored 34 points, and 36 points in two games last season with Clemson and Vanderbilt.
Today,-Long is playing. with the Detroit Pistons NBA basket- . ball team-. He survived1 stiff competition during preseason drills Classic Jumper aDd is now a reserve guard •

Brings· Re~pect For Ace·· By· RUDY ASHTON
ASSOCIATE S~ORTS EDITOR
The Atlantic Coast COnference, while one of the young-
, est major conferences in the United States, is ·nevertheless quite .proriunent in athletics, and .. one of the ·main reasons for .this is· ·basketball.
·Ever ·smce'"'lhe ACC was founded "On itay 8, 1953, basketball ·has· 'lieen at its best and lthe ·eight ACC teams have
_ proved themselves worthy competitors with any teams in the nation ..
New Conference
The Southern Conference, grand-daddy of an major collegiate athletic conferences in the :·South, was too large. and seven schools decided on witlhdrawing and: formiDg a · new · conference·: Thus Clemson, Duke, the University of Maryland, The Univ~rsity· ()f· North Carolina, N. C.·:· State, the University of South Carolina, and Wake Forest adopted by-laws and Jonnally created the Atlantic Coast Conference on June 14, .1953.
In December of the same - year, the University of Vir
ginia was admitted ·to give the conference its · pr~nt eight members. Virginia thus missed the first football season but was present for· the first basketball COinpetltit>n.
Throughout ·the ACC's history many teams and individuals have received national recognition in various sports, but no sport has had as consistently high quality of teams and athletes as has basketball. To the casual sports obsenrer, the mention of the ACC instantly brings to mind basketball rather than some other sport.
This . is especially true ~n recent years. In 1957 the University of Nor-th Carolina won the NCAA championship with
a perfect 32-0 slate. Since 1962 an ACC team has reached the NCAA semi-finals every year but 1965.
In 1962 the powerful Wake Forest team paced by Len Chappell and Billy Packer had a 22-9 record and finished third in the NCAA tourney.
The next two years were dominated by Duke. The Blue Devils coasted to a 27-3 record and third in the NCAA in 1963 and a 26-5 record and second in the NCAA in 1964. During these years they were led by Art Heyman and Jeff Mullins.
In 1966 Duke again returned to form and finished third in the nation.
Last year saw the University of North Carolina dominate the ACC and finish third in the NCAA.
Throughout these y e a r s ACC te·ams have compiled an impressive won-lost record, emerging with an overall 1559 victories and 1297 de-feats. In ·noft:conference play, ACC teams hold a 796-534 edge over opponents, which is a • 598 winning percentage.

whelming favori·te to repeat as ACC champions, mainly becaUS'e four of five s·ta~ters from l:ast year!s team which finished fourth in the NCAA tourney are back, a!long with three other lettermen and several talented! sophomores.
Coach Dean Smith says ten players will see plenty of action, giving the Tar Heels the greates,t depth this side of the AUantic Ocean.
Replacing gr.adluated Bob Lwis as team leader is senior Larry Miller, an All-American last year, who scored 21.6 points per game and was fifth in the ACC in rebound-
ing despite his 6-3 height. He is a sillrong 210 pounder.
Junior Rus,ty Clark (6-10) returns at center, where he averaged 13.9 points and placed fourth in rebounding a year ago. He also led the ACC in shooting percentage wisth a 55.2 mark.
Other returning starters are guard Dick Grubar, who ~redJ 9.2 points per game and showed exceptional poise as a sophomore, and junior Bill Buntd.ng, a center-forward who scored at a 7. 7 clip.

Smith feels this year's. team will be improved in speed and defense but will lack the scoring punch of last year's team because Lewis and Tom Gaunlett, the top outside shooters, have graduated.
Rebounding Weak?
Another weakness, Smith says, is rebounding, especially if both Clark and Bunting get into foul trouble.
Clark may he the key to Carolina's success. Smith said Clark was "at times the best center in the ACC last year, but he needs ro be more consistent." Clark has been lirting weights and should be improved in strength and stamina ...
Smith ·pointed out that the Heels lost two ACC games last year and won six others by a margin of three point.:; or less. Winning close games is an indication of a good team, but Smi~th said, "To repea.t that would be a miracle." ·
It would take another miracle . for the Heels to get through the month of December with an unblemilS)hed record. They open against Virginia Tech, and later play Vanderbilt, Kentucky and Princeton in a one-week span. To end the month, they play. in the Far West Cassie at Portland, Ore., where they could possibly meet Princeton again in the championship game.
Shoutd Survive
Despite a tough December, the HeeiJ.s should be able to overcome the l:oss of Lewis and_. Gaunlett and assistant coach Larry Brown, a fier' and inspiring individual who is oow [playing for New Orleans in thre American Basketball AsE"ociation, and post a record ·comparable to last'.season's 26-6 mark. E~perieiliCe, depth and' Charlie Scott should be enough to compensate for the absence of Lewis' shooting, hustle and leadership.

Duke llas No More Super Stars In a way, this year's Duke
team is like last year's Wake Forest team. Jack McCroskey said last year that one of the Deacons' greatest strengths would be an intangible - prayer. This year, Vic Bubas s-ays Duke will depend ··partia1ly .. ori a different intangible - _· tragition.
"Our. 'buke team has many, manu nuesltioo.-..-ma~ks," Bu-.-v;t M ~
bas s~c:I~~ __ ",PJre- team has no super~stalrs, ··and- he said it would have to ·-play with "cautious agres§iveh-es's" to win.
He said DuKe's long tradition of greaf teams- would help the squad, and other coac'hes' statements supported his view. McCloskey said·, ~·nuke will do well - a winning tradition helps: considerably," and Coa0h Bobby R.ober.ts of Clem·son quipped, "Everybody knows Duke will win 15 games or better."
Nine Lettermen
Bubas does have considerably more :tlhan ·:tradition on whiCih- to ·base · hopes ·for . a good season. Nine lettermen retiurn, ine~uding 6-7 ~e-nter Mike Lewis, who was second in the ACC in. shooting percentage and' rebounding last season, and averaged 15.5 poJnts per game.
None of the other returnees had high scoring averages la~t year, and it will take a good• ·team production· to offset the loss of Bob Verga's 26.1 and Bob Riedy's 12.8 points per game.
Veter-ans a-t forward include 6-5 senior Tim Kolodziej (9,0), 6-6 s:enior Joe Kenned:y ( 3.6) and 6-2 junior C. B. Claiborne (1.7). Fred Lind, a 6-7 junior who did not letter last year, has improved and may play a lot because c:if his rebounding ability.
Experienced guards are junior Dave Golden (5.8) who can break open games with hot shooting streaks; senior Ron Wendelin (3.9), a good quarterback; and 5-8, 145-pound senior Tony Barone.
Steve Vandenberg, 6-7, will back up Lewis at center and may aJ.s() see actioo at a for-
ward spot. Warren Chapman, ~-8 senio.r, looked good in practice before injuring a knee. He had an operation and' will be unable to play until some time in January.
Bub as said Chapman ·s injury was "a serious blow to our plans." These plans included a double post offense
GUARD RON WENDELIN is one of the Duke veterans who must combine to share the scoring load.
Blue Imps Are Foundation Of New Hardcourt Dynasty
There was a time ·when Duke Universi·ty was the most feared basketball school in the nation. Last ·year Duke did· not attain their usual ·high national ranking.
This vear the Duke varsity dees not seem to. have the potenti:a•l of achieving national recognition ather. This fact has led some Duke haters to say that the glory days of Coach Vic Bubas and his Blue Devils are a thing of the pas-t,_ that Duke is dead.
Well, Duke m-ay be dead, but ·there is hope of a resurrection. This revival comes in the form of what might turn out to be the best Duke freshm•an team in its long and illu~~trious basketball history.
The Duke coaches - Bubas, assistant coach Chuck Daly. and fi·eshman coach Tom Carmody - must have realized ·that Duke would have to have some good freshman playerd this year if ·Duke was to return to national prominence.
· Tops Varsity All these coaches did was
come up with a team which in s-crimmages so far this ycm; ·has been defeating the varf'ity. This Duke freshman team h~s three high school All-Americans.
Carmody - a 1951 graduate of Slippery Rock - has pretty
much decided on his starting five. The two guards were both AU-Americans in high school.
One of the guards is Brad Evans, 6-2, from Durham. Evans was also a higil sehool All-American in footbaii but decided to st-iek with his first love of basketball at Duke. The other guard is 5-10 Dick Devenzio from Aambridge, Pa.
The other hig-h sehool AllAmerican is 6-10 center Randy Denton from Raleigh. Denton was one of the most sooghtaiter big men in the nation af-ter his senior year in high school.
Rici< Kantherman (6-7) and Steve Litz (6-5) combine_ with
Denton to give the Blue Imps · excellent height on the front
line. Kathennan is from Boston. Mass., and Litz is from Pittsburg, Pa.
mgh Scorers As high school seniors this
starting five averaged 157 points a game. Duke sports infomlation director Dick Brusie played it cool in summing up the Duke frosh: "The prospects- rook pretty good. Of course, it's bard to tell until we've played a couple of games."
If this Duke freshman team is just "pretty goOd," why is it deJieatJing a pretty good Duke varsity? The Duke fros'h bas to be the class of the ACC freshman teams.

resut, Bubas had not selected a starting five as of last week.
Chapman's injury w~ not the only one on the Blue Devil squad. In fad, Bubas said the team has suffered! more preseason injuries this year than in any of his previous eight years at Duke. Various players· had minor injuries which kept tbe team from working as a tmit in practice. As a
Although thls team does not have as much natural ability as: past Blue Devil squads, Bubas does not plan any great changes in its style of play except, "This club must work. for the very good shot," he said. "This will not be a fancy ball club." It will use multipLe offenses and defenses, but wili play more "percentage'' basketball.

Appointment At Your Convenience
Jefferson Standard ~~9~~~~
Coach Frank McGuire has four of his five starters returning from last season's Gamecock squad and is considered by most of the ACC coaches to have the second best team in the conference.
AI Salvadori and Frank Burkholder, who alternat€d a.t cen-
. ter a year ago, are the only key losses and McGuire is desJ)€rately trying to find a replacement. Frank can only wonder how good his South Carolina team would be this season if 6-8 Mike Grosso were still around to man the center po-sition. ·
Nonetheless, McGuire is not shedding any tears, because he has guards Jack Thompson and Skip Harlicka returning, and he believes that they are the be.St pair in the conference.
Thompson Is Playmaker Thompson is a 6-0 Senior
whose 11.7 scoring average last season does not give any indication of his true value to the team. Jack is ·by far the slickest playmaker in the ACC and is also an €xcellent team leader.
Opposite Thompson at guard is Harlicka whose great scoring ability complements Thompson perfectly. Skip averaged 16.7 points per contest and also shot 49 per cent from the field. In addition, he is extremely strong at 6-2 and likes to take some of the smaller guards under the hoop.
The forward spots will be filled by steady veterans Frank Standa·rd and Gary Gregor. Although unspectacular, Standard at 6-B averaged 12.1 scoring and 11.3 rebounding last year for South Carolina. His rebounding figures were the third best in the conference.
Leading the conference in rebounding last year, was 6-7 Gary Gregor. Gregor averaged 13.3 rebounds per contest to go along with his scoring average of 13.0 points per game.
Skip Kiekey could be the man to fill McGuire's problem center position, Although a 6-8, 230 pound Senior, Kickey has had very little experience and will not do much scoring. The Gamecocks can only hope that he can do an adequate job

under the boards and hold his own defensively.
Providing bench strength, will be 6-7 Bob Felter, the only junior on the squad. · Felter played sparingly .a year ago, but could see mor€ action this season.
Three Sophs who might see some a-ction are 6-7 Gene Spencer, 6-3 Corky Carnevale, and 6-2 Bob Cremins. Carnevale is the son of the former Navy coach and present NYU athletic director and scored at a 13.5 clip for the frosh. Leading the frosh in scoring was Crentins, who averaged 19.5. Despite weighing only 160 pounds, Bob ga.thered in 12.4 rebounds per game.
McGuire ·Not Optimistic Overall, McGuire is not as
optimistic as his fine talent would indicate. Having coached Wilt Chamberlain in the NBA, McGuire is a firm believer in
the value of a good big man and· his _pessimism results from the laCk of one. He says that he will be happy if his team equals last season's 16-7 record. He also thinks that his · club will finish third behind Carolina and Duke.
McGuire adds that South Carolina should be an exciting team to watch and that they should have some excellent team play due to the fact that this is the third year .that four of the starters have played together.
Like Clemson, the Gamecocks are going to move out of their 3,300 seat fi€ld ho-use into a gigantic 13,000 seat coliseum. McGurie says that the gymnasium will be the best in the conference. As in Clemson's case, the Gamecocks' improved facHities should lure better players and better opponents to Columbia.
This Year's Biddies L-oaded With Talent
When Frank McGuire was head coach at the University of North Carolina in the 1950's his teams were characterized by an abundance of exceptionally good Catholic basketball players from the New York area. Now that McGuire is basketball coach at South Carolina his teams are beginning to take on this sam€ .cha·racteristic.
This year's South Carolina freshman team is not an exception to the rule. · McGuire went to New York and came away with two games from the same Catholic high school.
Tom Owens and John Roche led LaSalle Academy to the Catholic city championship in New York last year with a 26-1 record. Out of the -ten players to make the All-New York City team last seas(}n, Owens and Roche were the only white boys.
Owens was selected as the most valuable player in the New York City Catholic Tournament, which was held in I Madison Square Garden. At 6-10, 195, Owens will start at center for the South Carolina
frosh. Roche (6-1, 165) _will be one of the starting guards for the Biddies.
. While McGuire was up north · re.cruiting Owens and Roche, h€ came across a boy in Mamaroneck, N. Y., by the name of Billy Walsh.· Walsh at 6-1, 175, will be the other starting guard. Last year Walsh attended Frederick Military Academy where he averaged 19.2 points a gam€.
Just to be sure that the South would not be left out, McGuire signed one of the most sought-after high school players-John Ribbock from Augusta, Ga. Ribbock was a
. two-mile Catholic All-American in high SCh«;lOl.
Last August in the Georgia All-Star basketball game, Ribbock at 6-8, 225 pounds scored 28 points and pulled down 25 rebounds.
Owens, Roche, Walsh, and Ribbock are the only players on full scholarship, but the fifth starting spot belongs · to 6-8 Pr-eston Helms from Columbia, S. C. If Helms were just a Catholic or from New York, he might be on full scholarship.

N. C. State Freshinen Have Size
Former major league baseball player Sam Esposito begins his first season as N. C. State freshman basketball coach with an air of optimism. Esposito is best known as a former infielder with the Chicago White Sox and served last Spring as head coach of the N. C. State baseball team.
Esposito begins this season with five players on full scholarship and one boy on half scholarship. The boy on half scholarship is William Cooper, a 5-10 guard from Raleigh Ligon High School, who is the first Negro basketball player at State. Cooper is on a half basketball, half baseball scholarship.
TaD Front Line
The Wolflet front line is characterized by well-balanced height. The center will probably be Pat Biver ( 6-7) fl'om Lorain, Ohio, but forward Doug Tilley ( 6~7) ~rom Bethesda, Md., can also play the cellJter position.

The North Carolina State Wolfpack under the diredion of Norman Sloan could be the surprise of the ACC this season. Sloan impressed everyone in the conference last year when he molded his squad of mediocre ball players into a hustling and solid team by the end of the season. If Sloan could work some more wonders, ·the Wolfpack could wind up second or third in the ACC.
The only major loss from last _year's squad is Jerry Moore. A1though Moore averaged 10.7 scoring, the return of 6-2 guard Eddie Biedenbach should more than make up for the loss of Moore. Biedenba.ch averaged over - 16 points a game two seasons ago: but did not play last year due to a back injury. He is now fully recovered and his playmaking and leadership talents will help immensely. Sloan said ·that he even has the ability to save a bad practice.
Other Guard
Starting at guard with Biedenbach will be 6-4 junior Dick Braucher. Braucher averaged 11.2 scoring, but committed a lot of ball handling errors last season. He should correct the problem this year.
At times, Braucher will be moved to forward and little 5-9 Nick Trifunovich will be inserted into the lineup. Nick is a fine ball handler and does an excellent job 'Of organizing and running the set offense. Another swing man for the Wolfpack will be 6-3 soph Nelson Isley. Isley (22.2) led the frosh in scoring and was an All-Stater at Reidsville. Though he is a great shooter, he has reboun<ling and defensive problems.
Bill Kretzer will move from his forward· spot of last season to the center position. Kretzer has the height (6-7) for the po-
sition, but lacks the weight (200). However, he will be one of the best out.c;ide . shooters that the ACC has at ·flb.is spot. Bill is a co-captain of the squad along with Biedenbach and should increase his 11.7 scoring production af his new position. Robert MeLean at 6-8 will pro·vide backup help for Kretzer.
The forwards will again be juniors Bill Mavredes and Joe Serdich who are both 6-4. Ser- . dich (8.5) is a good shooter· and rebounder and has been playing well in practice. Sloan says that Mavredes is one of the best jumpers on the .squad and expects him to improve on his .rebounding output (4.6) as well as his scoring (8.5). Vann Williford, who was a bit of a disappointment as a freshman, improved and will also see some aeti<m at forward.
Sloan is probably the most aggressive and colorful coach in the conference. One reason is that he is the only ACC coach who considers the press one of his major weapons. In addition, Sloan likes to fast break although he did not break last year because he lacked the experienced team to do so. Sloan still believes that he lacks the necessary big men to control the boards in order to star.t the break.
Although Sloan's emotional outbursts may have sparked his team at times last year, they did cost him a forfeit at Maryland.
Rebounding Problem Summing up, the Wolfpack
is greatly lacking in rebounding strength. This problem could become increasingly apparent in early season games with highly ranked Indiana, defending Big Ten· co-champ, an:d Boston College, the pride of New England. However, State has the knack of keeping the games close and may be' able to pull off some big up-· sets. ·
The sports information di- . rector at N. C. State, Frank Weedon, was unsure about the prospects for this year's frosh.
c'We don't know what kind of team we'll have," Weeden said. "Coach Sloan (N. C. State varsity coach) w~ rather optimis-tic when we signed· these boys so we think we've got a pretty good team."

BOTTOM OF DAVIS DORMITORY
Alter six years as an assistant coach, Frank Fellows takes over as head coach for the retired Bud Millikan. Fellows has three of last season's starters returning and with the help of some sophs from last year's 16-1 frosh, the Terrapins figure to be as good, if not better than a year ago. However, Maryland plays a much harder schedule than it has in recent years and could wind up with a mediocre record.
Fellows says that he will let the opposition's defense dictate the type of offense that he will use this season. Although he does like to use a fast breaking offense, the Terapins will probably end up playing their usual set offense · due to the lack of a big man. As was the case with Millikan, Fellows is an advocate of the man to man defense and wjll probably stick solely to this.
The three returning starters are Pete Johnson, Billy Jones, and Dick Drescher. Johnson, a 6-0 junior, averaged 13.0 points per contest last season and could easily become one of the best guards in the conference. Despite his lack of size, Johnson is a fine rebounder because of his great jumping ability.
Jones is another fine leaper and at 6-1 he has to be because he is the smallest forward in the ACC. Last season, Billy was erratic, so he ought to improve his 11.6 average if he can overcome this defici- · ency.
Although he is only 6-4, Drescher (9.6) operated a great deal of the time from the pivot position last year. This season he will play the corner position.
A year ago, Maryland was last in the conference in rebounding. This year's sophs Will Hetzel and Rod Horst will try to remedy the rebounding situation as well as attempt

good' shot, will be
to replace leading scorer Jay McMillen.
Hetzel is the younger brother . of the former Davidson AllAmerican, and alth-ough he is not as strong as Fred, he is supposed to have a better outside shot. Like Hetzel, Horst is 6-6, but at 220 is much strong-er.
Small Cager
The only other experienced player on .the squad is little John Avery. At 5-9, Avery is one of the smallest players in the ACC, but makes up for his lack of size with inspired play.
Another soph who might work his way into the starting five is 6-3 Tom Milroy. Milroy, an All-State high school football and basketball star in West Virginia,. averaged 17.5 for the fr{)sh and is 3 good re·· bounder as well.
Rounding out the squad will be John Prebula, John MacDonald, Tom Yoho, and Gene Labonia. The first three are guards, while Labonia is a 6-5 forward.
As stated previously the Terapins play a tough schedule which includes non-conference games with West Virgirua and Miami (Fla) and a Sun Bowl appearance against the likesof the University of Texas at El Paso (Texas Western), Southern Illinois, and San Francisco.
In addition, Maryland plays more than half its contests away from its beautiful College Park field house. Thus, Fellows will have diffi.culty even equaling last year's 11-14 performance. Nevertheless, the sophs will make the season interesting and should provide hope for t.hc future.
Baby Terrapins _Anticipate
A Long And Lean Season When a school makes a
coaching change, usually the first effects are felt in the freshman team of· the following season. Last year long-time coach Bud Millikan left Maryland, and Frank Fellows, an assistant at Maryland for six years, became head basketball coach.
The effect of this . change is now being felt in the Maryland freshm.~n team. As Bill Dismer, sports information director at Maryland, says, "The outlook for the Maryland frosh is poor. The change iii coaches came at a very inopportune time."
Freshman Coach Tom Davis has his work cut out for him if he is to· produce a winning season for :the .Maryland frosh.
No Center Maryland has recruited a
team which dues not have a center. Both Dick Stobaugh from Burlington, N. J., and Chuck W(}rthington from Trenton, N. J., stand 6-6, and one will play center while the other will start at o-ne of the forward positions.
The other forward wiLl be either Erie Martin (6-3) from Elititz, Pa., or Torn Findring (6-3) from Elkhorn·, Wise. One of the guards will be either Martin or Findring, depending on which one is playing forward.
Starting at the other guard spot will be Roger Montgomery, a 6-0 guard from Charlton Heights, W. Va. Roger is a brother of Jerry Montgomery, starting guard for the Wa~e Forest varsity.
When asked why his younger brother did not come to Wake Forest, Jerry replied, "Wake Forest did not go· after him.
He· got full scholarship to Maryland and decided to go there."
If ·Roger is as good as his older brother Jerry, maybe the Maryland frosh will not be as bad as sports information director Dismer believes they are.
However, when asked· . if any of the members of the Maryland frosh were high school All-Americans, Dismer's answer was, "Are you kidding? I'm sure none of these guys ever were AU-Americans."

Outlook Dim For Clemson;--. . .
Mahaffey Only Bright· Spot Last season, Clemson had an
outstanding 17-8 record and coach Bobby Roberts had his most talented. team since he has been coaching in Death Valley. This season Roberts has only one. starter returning and will probably have his worst season ever.
All Roberts can do is moan about 6-8, 240 pound Ronnie Welch who decided to transfer to Miami (Fla.) because his father wrestles profession-

ally out of that city. In addition, Roberts let two other outstanding prospects get away from him several years ago.
Richie Mahaffey, the last of the four Mahaffey brothers, is the only starter back and will replace brother Randy at center. Mahaffey is now a . 6-7 junior and with the maturity of an additional year may even double his 10.2 scoring average~ Coach Roberts has stated that Richie must have an excellent
year if the Tiger,:; are to win even two o~ three. games.
Although they saw little action last year, juniors Trip Jones (6-5) and Curt Eckard ( 6-5) are being counted upon heavily at the forward positions. Jones is a good jumper and will help Mahaffey with the rebounding, but is not a very good shooter ·Or ball handler. Despite the fact that he lacks good basketball instincts, Eckard is a fine outside shooter and is tough underneath the hoop. Denny Danko is another junior who will see some ae:tion at forward.
The only sophomore who will be in the starting lineup is 5-11 George Zatezalo. Zatezalo, who averaged 22.4 for the frosh, is considered by Roberts as the secon<f best j>layer Oil! the team and will definitely start at ~me of the guard positions.
Dick. Thomas is a fine shooter and will probably start at the other guard despite his

This baskefba11 season will begin the fotmtb consecutive year that the Wake Forest Pep Band has performed at Dearon home games~ The baJxl, directed by Dr. Calvin Huber, helps keep spirit high at all Deacon home games.
The band vraries in membership from twenty ro · eighty members depending on the members' academic schedules following a game.
New Policy On Seating Of Students.
A new poli'Cy concerning seating of students at Wake ForesJt home baskefJballl games, to go into etlfect for two games
· on a trial basis llhis: .season, was annotmced~by adininistrative assistant -Jack Stallings 118St Wedlnesdlay.
"The program began as a request by soone studtmts last ~ar for a more efficient utilieatiOO of the seating facilities in the Coliseum," said Stallings. "We bad to decide whether to do · this for all home games or just f()r selected contests. The procedure will be effective only in the Duke and UNC games this year, but if it works, well we'll probably adopt it for fulltime fUture use."
In ll:be past, a studenf.l would go to the Coliseum, enter thro~ the sbudent ga'te by means af his .a~ pass, a student guest ticket, or a student wi'.fe tlidret. For the Duke and Carolina ·contests the procedure wil'l be th:e same, except tha:t when a student enters' he wil be .given a reserved• seat .ticket in the student section.
Staflting from the first row in the. student section at left front courtside, reserved tickets for these two games will be given out so that all _J;he rows in the section will be filled, going from; the first row at rourtside and proceeding to .the back. In this way, the earliest student to arrive will be given the better seats.'
Dr. Huber plans to use the old Deacon marching band uniforms for the pep band this year.
Many of .the ball players have Jtold Dr. Huber that the band serves a useful }>tl1llOSe in maintaining spirit at basketball games.
"The p1ayers sometimes ask me if the band wlll be going to an away game," Huber commented, "blllt I have to ten them no." Hub~ mainltains a policy of
playing only at home games because of the. fierce competition between bands1 .. at away games.

Wake Forest A 'Basketball School' By HAYES HOFLER
GUEST WRITER
Wake Forest has been fielding basketball teams for over 60 years now, and during that time it has never produced a national champion, nor have any of its coaches been spectacularly successful (Murray Greason, 288-245, and Bones McKinney, 122-95, possess the best records of modern..<f.ay Deacon coaches).
Only four ~times during their basketball history have the Deacons played well enough to enter NCAA post-season competition, and against the three teams Wake likes most to beat (Duke, Carolina and State). it has managed a very undistinguished 122-249 combined record.
Tourney Frenzy
Yet for many years there has grown steadily nurtured myth extolling Wake Forest, the hibernating basketball Goliath, and every March, regardless of record, a not so mythical frenzy sweeps the campus as the unusually Wtpredictable Deacons enter the annual ACC tournament.
The truth is that despite a good but unshimrnering record, Wake Forest is and forever will be a basketball school.
Jay McMillan, University of Maryland ace forward, couldn't understand it last year when

his Terrapins visited Memorial Coliseum to find a packed house and band thundering deliriously for a Deacon team hot off a nine-game losing streak. "Nothing like that would ever happen here," said McMillan later in a Washington Post interview.
To explain this phen()'IIlenon a case can be made for the fact that while Wake Forest basketball over the years has not been of UCLA caliber, there have been some outstanding seasons to go with an overall winning record. This alone is enough to explain why basketball may be more of an endearment than the other major sport, football.
Hemric All-American In 1953 All-American Dickie
Hemric led Wake Forest to its second post-season NCAA tournament. The years 1961 and 1962 marked the summit of Deacon basketball. Mter sweeping the ACC tournament in 1961 the Deacons went on to finish second in the NCAA E·astern Regionals, losing out in the finals to NYU.
Nineteen sixty-two was even more exciting as Wake took the ACC, the Eastern Regionals, and wound up third in the nation at the NCAA tournament in Louisville, after losing to top-ranked Ohio State and defeating the UCLA Bruins. In the Regionals they had pulled out over·time victories against Yale and St.
Joseph's before decisively defeating Villanova in the final.
Fan in1erest also. bas been generated by a history of colorful coac·hes. J. Richard Crozier was the first to bring organized basketball to Wake Forest and the State of North Carolina. Coaching, as well as attending classes as a student, Crozier led his team. to an overall 95-46 record in a 12 year period, 1906-1918.
Murray Greason's· 23 years of coaching covered a period ( 1933-1957) during which basketball rose to prominence as an exciting spectator sport. Also during that time Wake sent two teams to the NCAA tournament and was among the seven original teams to form the ACC in 1953.
Horace "Bones" McKinney (1957-1965) probably did more to project the name Wake Forest into national basketball circles than any one man. Not only was the ordained Baptist minister and former Washington Caps basketball star a shrewd strategist, hut his hilarious side-line antics attracted attention across the nation.
Bones Photogenic One recalls the Eastern Re
gional semi-finals at Maryland's Cole Field House where a covey of some 10-15 photographers, representing national news media, clustered feverishly around the lanky Deacon mentor, their lenses trained on his every move. But Me-
Kinney was no mere clown, as his 122-94 record, natiooal rankings, and two conference chalmpionships in eight years attest.
Great players have also added their contributions to the Wake Forest basketball tradition. Greason coached the first of these "greats:" Jim Waller, captain of the 1939 NCAA team; Lowell (Lefty) Davis, three time all-conference selection, and winner of the Teague Memorial Award in 1955 (awarded to the outstanding male athlete in the two Carolinas); and Jack Murdock, 1957 All-American, were other Deacon s.tars.
Probably the greatest to play under Greason was AllAmerican Dick Hemric, Wake's all-time leading ~corer and rebounder. His career total of 2587 points set a record which stood: until Oscar Robertson broke it in 1960. He still holds the NCAA record f<lr most free throws scored, 1905.
Chappell All-American Joining Hemric as one of
the all.,time Wake Forest basketball greats is- big Len Chappell, AU-ACC in '60, '61, and '62, and All-American in '61 and '62. Chappell, after whom jubilant students renamed Wait Chappell during the 1962 campaign, holds the school rerord for JIIDS.t points scored in a single game (50 against Vir,ginia, 1962) and hold..'H!onference records for most pointS--in
a three-year career (2165) and for most points in one season (932).
ALL-AMERICA Dickie Hemric is the Deacons' all-time leading scorer and rebound-er.
