The season of perfection for Rut
gers had barely been entered into
the NCAA record books when Mike
Dabney threw down the gauntlet.
“We’ve gotten to one plateau. It’s
time to move on to another, ” said the
senior guard. “I’m kind of hoping it
boils down to Rutgers and North
Carolina in the finals of the East.
Then we ll see how tough the ACC

Dabney spoke amid the
champagne-drenched pande
monium in the Rutgers locker room
following Monday night’s 85-80 vic
tory over St. Bonaventure. But down
the hall, in the quiet of the visitor’s
dressing room, Bonnies assistant
coach Billy Kalbaugh had some sob
ering thoughts.
“The thing that Rutgers has to
realize is that now they’re zero and
zero,’’ said Kalbaugh, a member of
the Bonnies’ 1967-68 team that was
undefeated during the regular sea
son but lost twice in post-season
play. “They’ve got to win two in the
ECAC, one in the NCAA prelimi
nary round, two in the Eastern Reg
ional and two in Philadelphia. They
have to go 7-0 or no one outside of
New Jersey will ever remember they
were 26-0.”
Kalbaugh also said the pressure of

an undefeated season carries into the
tournament. “You get a little bit
edgy. You know everything’s been
going your way and you get a little
superstitious. A call goes against you
and, where before you wouldn’t
think about it, now subconsciously it
affects you.”
But Phil Sellers, the Scarlet’s
career scoring and rebounding lead
ers, disagreed. “The pressure’s off'
now,” he said. “After the Princeton
game Feb. 2, everyone started talk
ing about us going undefeated. Now
I feel we can relax. We went unde
feated. If we get upset along the way,
people will still say we were a great
team. ”
Last Saturday, Rutgers downed
Long Island University 103-87. By a

Used to be that a fishing boat was a
14 foot jonboat with a little-bitty pull
start motor and a paddle. Now, abass
boat can be outfitted like a 747 and
cost almost as much.
The tournament pros call their
plush boats “cadillacs,” hut they
need all that equipment because
they fish for a living. A weekend
fisherman can get by with less and
still have a quality boat to fish from.
The essentials of a bass rig are a
good hull that’s safe, a motor to
match the hull, a responsive steering
system, comfortable seats and a reli
able trolling motor.
With the timber cleared out of To
ledo Bend, Livingston and other big
reservoirs, a boat that’s safe needs to
be at least 15 feet long and have
enough flotation to keep it afloat
even when swamped. A hull that’s
flexible enough to give when it hits a
stump can save on repair time. A
transom high enough to keep out fol
lowing seas and a bow that won’t
throw spray into the cockpit are
other niceties.
The motor should match the hull
by being powerful enough to plane at
less than full throttle, but shouldn’t
put the boat on the ragged edge of
control at high speed. A motor
should be easy to tilt out of the water
if it doesn’t have power tilt and trim.
The lower unit should be strong
enough not to shatter when it’s
stumped. Look also for a motor with
a slip clutch instead of shear pins for
prop protection. A stainless steel or
bronze prop costs extra but can take a
lot more abuse than aluminum.
The motor s electrical system
should be sealed against moisture,
have a strong enough alternator to
keep the. battery charged through an
average day’s fishing and be rigged
with a kill switch at the driver’s seat.
The steering system can make a
boat either a pleasure or a pain.
