performance would be a major

Leading ACC Teams
Point for Top Spots
In Tourney Pairings

The Atlantic Coast Confer
ence basketball race has reached
the point where the leading
teams are paying close atten-
ton to the standings to deter
mine their likely first-round OPP
ponents in the conference tour
nament.
The ACC champion, which
will be the representative in the
NCAA playoffs in New York the
second week in March. will be
determined by the tournament
in Raleigh. N. c., March 3-4-5.
N. C. State is ineligible for the
ECAA playoffs due to difficulties
with the NCAA.
The first and second place
teams in the regular-season race
are going to be virtual shoo-ins
to the tournament semifinals as
they play Clemson and South
Carolina. But the third and
fourth seeded teams, probably
Duke and North Carolina, are
going to have to play Wake For
est and Virginia. Anything
could happen there.
Tournament pairings will be
made, from the regular season
standings. with / VS.. 8, 2 VS.. Z,
8 VS.. 6 and 4 VS.. S. The first
and second seeded teams could
not meet before the finals.
Deacons Tourney Threat.
Wake Forest played three ov-
ertime games in the tournament
last year, beating South Caro-
lima in the first round, Maryland
in the semifinals and losing to
North Carolina State in the title
game.
The Deacons have been losing
close ones to the first-division
teams this year and probably
will not make the seeded list.
But they're still dangerous
ball club. They handed George
Washington its worst defeat of
the season. .l07-86, and every
body will be wanting to dodge
them in the first round.
With Maryland and N. c. State
tied for the lead at this point
with 90 records and Duke a
half-game back, it is reasonable
to assume the season will end
with the teams like this: N. C.
State, Maryland. Duke, Carolina,
Wake Forest, Virginia. South
Carolina and Clemson.
If so, the tournament first
round pairings would be North
Carolina State VS.. Clemson;
Maryland VS.. South Carolina;
Duke VS.. Wake Forest and North
Carolina VS.. Virginia.
Clemson Here Tomorrow.
That would be a boon to the
gate. as that would put the Duke
Wake Forest game on Thursday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, and
probably assure four sellout
crowds of 12,400 in N. C. States
Coliseum.
The first-place tie may be
broken tomorrow night when
Duke, on another hot streak after
its defeat by George Washington,
plays at North Carolina State
and Maryland entertains Glenn
son. If Duke upsets the Wolf
pack, the Terps figure to go back
on top as Clemson has won only
one game all season.
Maryland has only two confer
ence games remaining after to-
morrow. The Terps play N. c.
State at Raleigh Saturday night
and Wake Forest there a week
from tonight.
The weeks schedule:
ToniEht-Clemson at Virginia.
Tomorrow - Clemson at Maryland,
Duke at N. C. State. South Carolina at
Wednesday-North Carolina at Wage
Friday-Clemson at South Carolina,
Virginia Tech at Virginia.
Saturday - Wake Forest at Duke,
land at N. c. State, Virginia at Rich
mond.

a school day-with Norman vii.
liam Hager. the 18-year-old who
went free on a writ of habeas
corpus Friday after nearly 4t
hours in police custody.
The youth said Nancy told him
Norman had given her a ride
over to the school, but was moi
her fiance." Police said the
"fiance" was on-existent.
Police expressed interest last
night in two reports about Nor
man, which had not previously
been made public.
Maurice Ulmer of 2506 Chap
man road NV. who was chair
man of the teen club to which
Norman as we'll as Nancy and
Michael Ann belonged. told a
reporter for The Star that he
called Norman Thursday night
while the youth was being ques-
toned at Seat Pleasant.
He said Norman told him then
that while he was at the rustic
bridge in Northwest Park watt
ing for Nancy on the morning
of her death, he saw a man
sitting on a log in the picnic
grove near the bridge with a
rifle on his lap.
Waiting for Nancy
The other report came from
Joyce Pitt, ,2508 Chapman road
a fellow student Of both Norman
and Nancy at Northwestern High
School. Joyce said she and Rose
mary Dillon, who lives around
the corner, saw Norman at the
bridge on the fatal morning at
about 8:18 am. She said he told
her he was waiting for Nancy
and asked if she and Rosemary
would like a ride to school. He
took them to school, Joyce said,
arriving there at 8:25 am. He
then told her, she added, that
he was going back to look for
Nancy.
More than 300 friends and re-
latives attended funeral services
for Nancy yesterday afternoon
at Gasch's Funeral Home in
Hyattsville. Two large chapels
were filled and the Rev. Marlin
Brinson, who officiated, used a
loud speaker to speak to the
large gathering.
Nancy was clothed in a blue
taffeta and tulle party dress,
which was described as her fav-
orite.
Plainclothes policemen in large
numbers eyed the crowds both at
the funeral home and the ceme-
terry.
