Admittedly the super-sleek '74 edition of the Crimson thinclads has to be given the edge against an Army team that dropped a 90-78 decision to Manhattan last week. But Army has its share of 9.7 dash men and a bumper crop of under 15 second hurdlers, who could each be good for 15 points...

...Wolfpack and their constituents, adopting the Avis we-try-harder mentality, prepared for the contest with high spirit and keen concentration. Bumper stickers in Raleigh admonished: STOP THE WALTON GANG. Though the event was televised nationally, some 4,000 State fans journeyed by chartered plane, bus, private car and even motorcycle to St. Louis, where the Shootout was held on neutral ground.
