With Tar Heels Tomorrow

Stop No. I Club
BY MERRELL WHITTLESEY

BY MEKRELL WHITTLESEY
Bud Millikan can't afford to
borrow the Boston Celtics and
put them in Maryland uniforms
for the North Carolina game to-
morrow night, but he does hope
his Terps play like the pros.
The Maryland basketball coach
today outlined a four-point pro-
gram necessary if the Terps are
to become the first team in II
games to defeat North Carolina
this year.
I'VE can't afford to throw the
ball away. we must not be out
rebounded. we must do a good
job defensively and hit on bet
ter than 35 per cent of our
Shots" Bud said as he made last
minute preparations for the
game that will draw Washing
tons record basketball crowd.
If we fall down in any Of
those departments, they'll beat
u.s." he added.
Team Keyed Up
The Terp mentor said his club
apparently is in excellent spirits.
It will have the advantage Of
the home court and support Of
most Of the crowd with it.
Il walked into the dressing
room after the CIV game and
said, All right, boys, now you
can start thinking about North
Carolina. Sud said yesterday.
They were in a pretty good hu.
NOR anyway, and Perry Moore
said, We're 10 days ahead Of
you"
Bud said he had some changes
in mind. but of course could not
reveal them. BY changes he I'M
doubleday meant a defensive
shift or two.
Inasmuch as Lennie Rosen-
bluth. the Tar Heels almost sure
All-America, scored 26 against
the Terps at Chapel Hill, there
could be shift where he is con-
cerned. John Nacincik was as.
signed to him in the game won by
Carolina, 7l-60. Nacincik finally
fouled out.
Other Stars Dangerous
But you can't afford to pay
too much attention to Rosen-
bluth. Millikan said. Hes going
to get his anyway, and if you
concentrate on him any one of
the other starters could break
your back"
Millikan, not too fast q man
with the praise. said for his
money that RoSenbluth positive
ly is All-American. He doesn't
have a wasted motion" Bud said.
Hes a great ball player"
In the December 10 game at
Chapel Hill. Maryland was only
four points behind with three
minutes remaining in the first
half, but all of sudden the Tar
Heels scored 10 straight and led
at the intermission by IA.
That's the kind of ball club
they are" Bud added. They'll
hit like lightning. We cut them
back to eight or nine points in
the second half before we lost
by II, but that one streak beat
u.s."
Losses Hurt Little
Coach Frank MCGUIRE has lost
two players in the last 10 days.
but neither figures to hurt too
much. Tony Radovich used up
his eligibility with the first
semester. and Bill Hathaway, s.
foot-ll sophomore, transferred
to Dayton.
Radovich was the No. 6 man
and his place has been taken by
Stan Groll. a 6-foot sophomore
from Brooklyn. naturally. Groll
averaged better than Is points
with the frosh last year.
Hathaway. who went to Caro-
lima with a great buildup. didn't
develop He started against
Maryland and some other teams,
ana everybody he started against
was glad to see him in there.
When Joe Quigg replaced him,
rival coaches were disturbed.
Quigg is 6-foot-9. a real good
rebounder and has a fair scoring
average.
The Tar Heels will fly in today
and stay at the Dupont Plaza
Hotel. All of their remaining
games are with Atlantic Coast
Conference teams.
