Students Mob U-Hall
For Carolina Tickets
With the line already
growing in numbers since
yesterday afternoon, tickets
are at a premium for the North
Carolina game, Saturday,
January 15. The ducats went
on sale this morning at 8:00 at
University Hall and Memorial
Gym and are due to be gone by
the afternoon.
For the more nearsighted
fans, there are still a couple
hundred seats remaining for
the George Washington
contest, January 12. The
Colonials are only 1-4 but had
much pre-season publicity and
have the potential to break out
of their slump.
A North Carolina game
ticket is valuable for even the
occasional spectator and the
ticket pickup mobs promise to
rival even those for the
Maryland game. However, for
those fans willing to spare the
excitement of seeing the game
in person, the ACC network
will broadcast the game with
the Tar Heels over
Washington's Channel Nine,
and other CBS affiliates. Jim
Thacker and Woody Durham
provide the play-by-play with
Bones McKinney the color
commentator.
There will be two more
pickups this month. Johns
Hopkins tickets, not as
precious as those for league
games, go on sale January 10
and seats for the N.C. State
game will be available January
13.
Despite all the problems
that were expected to ensue
from the changing ticket
format, University Hall
spokesmen were proud that
after eight hours of ticket
pickup, December 15, there
were still several hundred
unfilled seats for the George
Washington game.
Schedules for ticket releases
for the remainder of the season
have been announced and are
the following: February 2,
V.P.I.; Feb. 7, Wake Forest;
Feb. 10, Duke; Feb. 14,
Clemson and February 17 for
the Pittsburgh game. Although
the last two games of the
regular season are road
contests, interested fans might
want to start thinking about
trying to get tickets to see the
Cavaliers meet North Carolina;
February 26, and Maryland,
March 4.
For those students
remaining in town over the
semester break, the Johns
Hopkins game, January 26, at
home, provides some source of
entertainment.
