For the fourth straight year
the feature of Maryland's home
basketball season is the visit
Of the North Carolina Tar
Heels, an attraction that figures
to come close to filling Cole
Field House at BIS tonight.
The Tar Heels, leading the
Atlantic Coast Conference with
a 40 record. are two-point
favorites to win at Maryland
for the first time in three years.
In fact, the last time North
Carolina won here was in 1857
when its perfect record, ma
tional championship team won
in double overtime.
Carroll Seeks Record
The first game at 6:l5 to-
night is more than a routine
preliminary.
Carroll, with one of the fin
est clubs in the history of Dis
trict scholastic basketball, will
attempt to match the 38-game
winning streak of the famed
Tech High team Of 1872,
when 1t meets the Maryland
Frosh.
Carroll has won 81 straight,
while the Maryland Frosh have
a 100 record this season. This
game is rated a tossup.
Both Maryland and the Tar
Heels have go records with no
setups on their schedules. Both
figured to be improved ball
clubs the second half of the
season.
Debut for Moe
Coach Frank MCGUIRE will
have 6-foot-5 Doug Moe in his
lineup for the first time this
season. The Brooklyn sopho-
more who averaged l3 points a
game last season was scholas-
tically ineligible for the first
semester.
Moe may not start. but he
figures to move quickly into the
lineup Of Lee Shaffer, York
Larese, Harvey Salz and Ray
Stanley. Scoring averages and
heights are: Shaffer, 18 points
and 81; Larese, 16 points and
6-4; Salz, 13 points and 6-l
and Stanley, 10 points and 6-4.
North Carolina has scored a
high of SO points this season,
against South Carolina, and a
low of so in the waltz-time final
of the Dixie Classic when the
Tar Heels lost to Wake Forest.
They can play it either way.
The Tar Heels have won four
in a row since the Dixie Classic
defeat. Their only other losses
were to Kentucky and st. Louis
in the Kentucky Invitational.
Their victims have included
Kansas, Kansas State, Mime
sofa and Notre Dame, and a
return victory over Wake Forest.
Long Layoff for Both
Maryland beat Duke, North
Carolina State and topped
Navy at Annapolis before a
two-week layoff for exams.
The Tar Heels have been idle
for II days.
! Coach Bud Millikan's defen-
sive assignments likely will be
Bob Wilson (6-10, against
Shaffer. Bunge (6-8) against
Moe: Paul Jelus (6-2) against
Stanley; Bruce Kelleher (6-2)
against Salz and Jerry Bechtle
(6-2O against the quick Larese.
Bunge is the leading scorer
in the ACC with a 1913 average,
with Shaffer and Paul Adkins
of Virginia less than a point
behind. No other Maryland
players are in the top 10, al
though Jelus has been averag-
ing Is points a game since be-
ing promoted to the starting
lineup.
North Carolina, which faded
near the end of last season and
still had a 20-5 record, is fig
ured to do just the opposite this
year. At the present time it is
a rather solid choice to win
the ACC tournament in Raleigh
March 3-5. Regular season
games count for seedlings, as
the conference title is settled
by the tournament.
The game has created sufi-
cient interest in the North
