By DON HULT

One gets the distinct impressior
on meeting Coach Lou Holtz that
this man belongs in a classroon
rather than on the football field
what with the horn - rimmed
glasses and the scholarly way he
expresses himself.
Such an observation is not to<
far from accuracy as Lou Holt:
is a professor on the field. He ap.
proaches the game in the same
astute manner as do certain pro.
fessional coaches such as Allie
Sherman, who describes footbal
as "violent chess."
Holtz attended high school in
East Liverpool, Ohio, where he
lettered in the three major sports
lie attended Kent State Univer
sity in Kent, Ohio, where he
played center and linebacker or
the football team. lie graduatec
in 1959 with a R.A.
Upon graduation he began hi:
coaching career as Kent State's
I freshman football coach, ther
spent a year at Iowa under th<
great Forrest Evashevski an<
current Packer assistant, .Jerry
Burns.
lie spent three years at Willian
and Mary and then in 1964 h<
went to the University of Con
neeticut.
In February, 1966, Coach Holtz
accepted a position at Carolina.
lloltz believes the primary con.
sideration in determining whethei
a team is going to score is its
field position when it first goes
on offense.
lie feels that "every time a
team gains possession of the ball
in their own territory, the odds
against them scoring are 13-1.'
However, he feels that "when
they get possession in their op
ponent's territory. the odds drop
to 3-1."

feels that it is mainly his re
sponsibility to "keep these mis
takes to the barest minimum."
Holtz says not only tell a player
what he did wrong but also how
he can correct his faults. "The
coach must infect his charges with
enthusiasm," says Coach Holtz.
"Every coach is enthusiastic at
times. One has enthusiasm for
thirty minutes, another for thirty
days, but the coach who has it for
thirty years is the winner."
Holtz believes that it is highly
unlikely that a coach can develop

They were joined by Jay Mc
Millen of Maryland, Jerry Mont
gomery of Wake Forest and Tom
Gauntlett of North Carolina.
Selection was made by a com

Players qualify by having a
"I3" or better academic average
for either their full college career,
the entire year just completed or
one semester of the past year.
The ACC nominated 17 players.
The five named to the team are
nominated for the All-America
team sponsored by the College
Sports Information )irectors of
America (COSIDA).
Three of the team are pre
medical students. Sutherland has
a 3.78 average for his entire col

feels, with a lot of patience and
practice, a boy can be coached into
becoming an effective runner.
Statistics on rushing can be
very deceiving. A runner can
gain 1200 yards rushing and yet
be no better a ball carrier than
the man who gains 500. If a run

his own, when most of his block

team.
McMillen is also a senior pre

Montgomery, a sophomore who
rates with the best in the confer
ence, has a "B" in biology.
Gauntlett, the top alternate for
the Tar Heels, has a "B" in polit

Also in the balloting for the
