The Deacons outshot Davidson from the field, hitting on three more baskets for the game, but the officials sent the Wildcats to the charity stripe enough times to allow them to hit for 14 more free throws and thus give them the game. Davidson, a team almost un- beatable at home, had their hands full with Wake Forest despite the friendly confines of the Charlotte Coliseum. The Wildcats left the court at halftime with only a two point advantage, 43-41, after the lead had seesawed throughout. Mike Maloy, the Wildcat center, began to work on McGregor and finished the contest with 27' points in addition to getting the big man out. Forward Jerry Kroll also benefited from the heavy fouling to rack up 23 as he joined Maloy in leading the Davidson at- tack. McGregor finally left the con- test with a little over three min- utes to play and Wake Forest trailing 79-72. The Deacon press was able to bring the count down to 80-76 at one point but Davidson then used the free throw line, with Kroll being particularly effective, to nail down their victory. The great fouling cost Wake Forest dearly as 6-8 Dan Ackley, 6-7 Larry Habegger and 6-3 Nor- wood Todmann also were forced to leave the game beause of ex- cessive personals. Their loss de- stroyed the Deacons on the boards as no one could stop Maloy. The only really effective Deacon was soph guard Charlie Davis who hit for 24 points.

After a stormy meeting in the jockey quarters, they refused to come out for the third race unless the 19-year-old brunet was taken off her scheduled mount, Stone- land, in the fourth. Trainer Brian Webb, who put Miss Rubin on Stoneland, finally agreed under pressure to withdraw her, "so that racing can continue at the track." Miss Rubin, who had donned her racing silks in a trailer adja- cent to the regular jockey quarters was shaken and on the verge of tears when she made a brief ap- pearance at the door. "This was totally unexpected" the tiny girl said, "all I wanted was a chance. I will try again." Her attorney said no legal ac- tion was planned "unless there is no other way" for Miss Rubin to break through the sex barrier in racing.x "The racing commission lived up to its promises," Burns said. "The jockeys did not." Riders scheduled to race against Miss Rubin agreed several hours before the race that they would ride. However, later in the day they rebelled. i .:,::-: : i .. :' { ing Roger Stauback, the 1963 Heis- man trophy winner, to Annapolis.

Against IC Legend of the Hotdogging Hone ybear By BILL CUSUMANO He flys through the air with the greatest of ease . . . That's the way the song went about the man on the trapeze, but now the words apply to the jumping wonder of the National Basket- ball Association, Gus Johnson. Those who saw the NBA All-Star game on Tuesday were treated to the brilliance of Oscar Robertson, Earl Monroe and other stars, but the one play that stood out was Johnson's standing two hand cram. And that is the way Gus Johnson is; he gives the fans more for their money than anyone else in the league. Johnson is the epitome of spring. He is one of the few men who have earned the adjective of being a "leaper". This great jumping ability plus great body control and brute strength make hi one of the finest physical specimens in the NBA and one of its greatest players. But many men in the pros possess excellent physical attributes and still are not exciting. Johnson's uniqueness comes from the flair with which he plays the game. The Honeybear, as his teammates call him, moves about the court with a controlled abandon. He has a certain class of his own, he is an athlete with elan. Johnson's forte is the dunk shot. He takes off from the foul line and rams the ball home in any one of innumerable ways. There really is no way that Johnson cannot dunk, whether it be one-handed, two-handed, over the head, with pumps or even hooking. Gus even stunned former NBA great Bob Cousy one night when he hooked a dunk shot. The ex-Celtic guard had never seen it done before. The feats of the Baltimore Bullet star are even more amazing when it is remembered that he is only 6-6. He is not one of the giants like Wilt Chamberlin. But Johnson makes up for his relative lack of height by using his two legs. A sportswriter once asked Johnson how high he could jump and didn't believe it when the Honeybear replied that he could touch the top of a backboard. Gus' only answer was to have a 20 dollar bill placed on top of the backboard and he then proceeded to take it off. Gus probably wouldn't have proven that he could touch the board unless the money was there. Johnson continually flirts with indebted- ness because of his love for clothes and cars. He has one of the most extensive wardrobes in the NBA and also one of the longest list of bills. He has to be a sharp dresser, though, just to keep up with the rest of his image. For Gus is undeniably cocky, he is a hot dog. He feels that there is no better all around forward in the NBA and still complains abdut losing the rookie of the year award to Jerry Lucas six years ago. Johnson's whole style of play and off court attitudes make him an attraction. There are those who go to games to see the gold star in his false front tooth. As Gus explains it, "What else could I have on my tooth but a star?" And a star he is, con- sistently averaging around 20 points and14 rebounds per game. Despite his talents on the court, though, Johnson's greatest moments come in warm-ups. It is there that he flashes his dunking abilities without inhibition. True fans always come to Bullets games early to see Gus do his thing. He usually gets the biggest cheers for cramming after he. has taken off from the foul line and then trans- ferred the ball behind his back to his opposite hand. Sometimes, just for effect, he will also catch the ball with his other hand as it slams through the net. Johnson seems to follow the pattern of his dunks in natural life; he never does anything the way others do. A native of Akron, Ohio, he played. on the same high school team as Nate Thurmond, 6-11 center of the San Francisco Warriors. But despite the presence of Thurmond Gus jumped center. "Who else?" says the indomitable Johnson.I After a high school career in which he displayed considerably less talent with books than basketballs, Gus turned up at the Univer- sity of Idaho. Once again he excelled on the hardwoods but still found hardbacks too great an obstacle. Only the Baltimore Bullets have saved him from being a playground bum. But even while playing with Baltimore Johnson has shown no inclination to settle down. Once he was late for a game and claimed that he had been help up by a parade. The only trouble was that there were no parades in Baltimore that day. Gus then decided that it just must have been a mass of his many fans. Such behavior must be expected of a man who dares to block Wilt Chamberlin's dunk shot, though. Johnson got a broken wrist for his troubles one night attempting that trick but laughed it off, preferring to remember the moment two nights before when he had stuffed the mighty Dipper. Johnson also has total disregard for his body. He plays con- tinually with a bad nerve in his back but persists in recklessly leaping over several layers to snare a rebound. Usually he gives out a war whoop when he does it, just to add insult to injury. He is flambuoyant, irresponsible and incorrigible. But nothing more could be expected from a man who's motto is, "Sometimes I even amaze myself." i r wn^RlCV nAV IC% I f%%Af MONEY PAY 15 LUVV- PSYCHIC INCOME HI+ FIELDS'CAF ACTIVITY INCLUDE. 1." ::; :::s " Education ' Agriculture * Community Developmer + Youth Work.
