On Sports of ACC
It was a great relief to see the
ACC Wildcats emerge with a vic-
tory over those rough and tough
Indians of McM in spito of tho
very small margin Thcro wero
times when we dcsp-iiied of our
chances to stay in a lately begun
win column In the closing min-
utes those points staed too near
Urn wrong sido to suit us Well
It's the win and not the margin
that counts in the final confer-
ence rating

another stir to the well miscd

Slnco TWC haq onl 12 con-
ference games scheduled one
more defeat wilt eliminate
them from a bid for the cham-
pionship unless Trinltj and
Howard Pa) no can arrange to
lose two more games and
ACC should lose one more.
