RALEIGH, N. c.. Mar. A.
There are some mismatches in
the first round of the Atlantic
Coast Conference Basketball

of a ticket sellout.
There has been a $4,000 adj
vance sale, however. and tourna-
ment officials are looking ahead
to more evenly-matched fields
and bigger gates in future tour
naments.
Round-robin scheduling in
basketball becomes effective next
season in this young conference,
and with schools like Clemson,
South Carolina and Virginia
forced to meet established pow
erhouses such as North Caro-
lima State and Duke on a home
and-home basis every year. the
weaker teams will be strength
ened.
Adding Scholarships.
It's no secret that South Caro-
lima and Clemson are adding
scholarships. although both prob
ably will have weak teams again
next year. Basketball is on the
upgrade at Virginia. a school
that never has appeared too ex-
cited over the sport.
Maryland hopes to have its
$4,000 capacity field house ready
for all or part of next season.
and Coach Bud Millikan believes
that the best team in his coach
ing tenure will be coming up.
Frank MCGUIRE will be in his
third season at North Carolina
next year, and they are saying
here that N. c. State. Duke and
Wake Forest will stop rolling
over the Tar Heels as of next
season. North Carolina has two
good freshmen and others COM
ing in, many of them from the
New York area. where MCGUIRE
starred and coached.
A more evenly matched tour
nament, of course, will be of great
financial benefit to the confer
ence. Ticket sales for the four
sessions of this tournament
probably will not top $4,000.
