Hart A Duke star overlooked hailed as ACC’s top passer
Leo Hart of Duke, a 6 foot 3 Kinston native, finally gains national recognition after a long period of being overlooked by scouts and Duke coaches. He set ACC passing and total offense records, including 2238 passing yards and 2340 total offense in a soph year, with a low interception rate. Frank Howard hails him as among the best passers faced, predicting broader recognition when pro teams pick quarterbacks next February.

Maravich Hangup No Boon to Hawks
Atlanta Hawks coach Richie Guerin says Pete Maravich’s tendency to hang in the air hinders his quick NBA adjustment. The rookie, despite a big contract, struggles with decision making, bad passes, and inconsistent shooting as veteran observers note slow progress but potential for improvement.
