(Elfp Baily alar Hrrl SPOBTMRIEFS Phillies Clinch ML East PITTSBURGH The Philadelphia Phillies, arollidringthrowback to baseball’s grittier days, Tuesday night won the Na tional League East, 10 years to the day that they won their last division title. Len Dykstra got them going with four hits and three RBIs and Mariano Duncan finished it off with a dramatic grand da™ in the seventh as the Phillies clinched with a 10-7 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Philadelphia completed a remarkable worst-to-first turnaround —a year ago, they were in sixth place, 26 1/2 ga™ behind the division champion Pirates. Astros Befuddle Braves ATLANTA—Pete Hamisch overpow ered Atlanta on five hits over 82/3 inning* Tuesday night as the Houston Astros beat the Braves 5-2, giving San Francisco a shot at tying for first place in the NL West. The Braves, who fell to 100-57, have five home games remaining. The Giants hosted the Colorado Rockies later Tues day night. Alabama Mascot Called Too White, Too Masculine BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Gimme aU! Gimme an A! Gimme a B! Gimme a politi cally correct school mascot! Complaints have forced the University of Alabama at Birmingham to sideline the symbol of its athletic teams, a rough-and tumble Norseman who drew fire for being too mean, too masculine and too white. “He was—l hate to use the word—too Aryan," UAB sports information director Grant Shingleton said Tuesday. “Some people objected ... because it was too white or too male or too violent or scared little children,” Shingleton said. Callers to an all-sports radio station, WJOX, had several suggestions for anew mascot Tuesday morning. Some of those included: •Abiggreen sports coat. Blazers. Get it? •A four-wheel drive Chevrolet Blazer utility vehicle. •A geeky student who is actually doused with gasoline and set afire before each game. It was unclear whether the same student would be used more than once. Calvin and Hobbes OOH, WOOK M" DA BIG, \ STWIPE'I PUTTf/ ISOO \ A FUZZ! FWIENDWT POTTY J " 7 THE Daily Crossword by C.F.

Next week, well examine Chapel Hill’s trails for joggers and runners. BYFRANKWANG STAFF WRITTR A good tennis court is like a good tango club once you find one, you can have hours of fun; but if you don’t stretch and warm-up properly, you could really hurt yourself. At UNC, there are several good places to play tennis (but nowhere for some good tango). To the naked eye, all of the UNC courts look the same. But a closer look reveals that each set of courts has its own personality. Cobb'JoyMf Perhaps the most popular campus courts are the 11 lighted courts between Cobb and Joyner residence halls. These courts are sometimes used for IM-REC tennis but otherwise are open to recreational play. The location of the Cobb/ Joyner courts makes it a convenient place for most stu dents toplay. Duringthe day, Cobb/Joyner is a great place to play. It’s a different story at night. Minus Venturini, UNC Hosts No. 9 Blue Devils BY JILL WEST STAFF WRITER The soccer gods are at it again. The Tar Heels will face the Duke, the No. 9 team in the nation, 1992 NCAA runners-up and perennial enemy, at 5 p.m. tonight on Fetzer Field without a impor tant name in the lineup. It will be UNC’s first game without two time All-America junior midfielder Tisha Venturini, who fractured a bone in her left foot in a 7-1 victory against St. Mary’s Sunday. Untilnow, Venturini wastheonly Tar Heel to have started in every game of her collegiate career. She is expected to miss at least four weeks. Venturinihasbecomean important part of the Tar Heel offense, scoring eight goals in as many games. Her 18 points are sec ond only to UNC’s all-time leading scorer Mia Hamm.

Cobb/Joyner offers both danger and excitement anyone who is tired or injected with tranquilizers should not play at night. You have to really pay attention. Only a few courts are well-lit at the Cobb/Joyner courts. Currently, many of the lights are broken and the outer courts receive less lighting than the inner courts. So, before you can adjust to the low light ing, it can be fairly difficult volleying at the net or returning quick serves. It can even be dangerous sometimes. “The last time I played at Cobb, we were playing doubles, and I was at the net,” freshman B.J. Owens recalls. “Itwaspretty dark, but then it got real bright when a tennis ball smacked me in the head. Then, it got real dark again.” Taylor Varsity Complex If you want to play tennis in a peaceful environment, somehow get yourself to the Taylor Varsity Complex at the end of Coun try Club Road. Those courts used to be the home of North Carolina varsity tennis but now are used for the physical education tennis courses. They are open for general student play when classes are not in ses sion. Carolina has been plagued by injuries to important goal scorers. Venturini’s injury came just after Hamm returned to the starting line-up, having recovered from a strained ligament in her knee. The Blue Devils (6-1) will come to Chapel Hill seeking revenge. In their last meeting, North Carolina embarrassed Duke 9-1 in the NCAA Championship Final at Fetzer Field. Duke returns seven starters from that upstart team, including 1992 Soccer America All-Freshman team goalkeeper Melissa Carr. Sophmore Katherine Remy leads the Blue Devil offense with six goals and four assists. The Tar Heels are coming off of a three game road trip to California in which they defeated No. 4 Santa Clara, St. Mary's and San Francisco. UNC survived a scare from theßroncosbeforewinning,3-2. Theteam has now won 66 consecutive games. ( TIGERS DOW L\KEL\ TO BE CALLED ) V " PUTTIES': / 65 Actor "Kookie” Byrnes 67 Get 4 Hjßb 6 7 S BK To - “ flnT? “ ‘ zo 2^ ’ c ;.

Unlike any other group of courts at UNC, all 16 courts at Taylor are unlighted. But there are bathrooms nearby. Even though it can be somewhat of a workout to get to the Taylor courts, it’s relaxing to play there. “It’s a really nice place to play,” says Chris Zachry, a junior. “It’s quite a walk to get there, but it’s definitely worth it if you can get a ride.” Hinton James The eight lighted courts near Hinton James are probably the best places to play after dark. These courts are for those who want a combination of Cobb/Joyner and the old varsity complex. Each time you change sides, you get a different view. On one side, you see a row of nice, green trees. On the other side, you face countless cars and the gigantic Smith Center. Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center For the ultimate tennis experience, find your way to the new varsity tennis com plex. The Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center is located about a mile past Finley Golf Course on Highway 54 in Chapel Hill, next to the Friday Center. The $2 million, AL Victors Set for Showdown THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MILWAUKEE Count the stars in the Toronto Blue Jays’ clubhouse and the numbers add up quickly. Mesh their egos and talents and that’s where Cito Gaston, the strong and silent type manager who’s still ducking criticism from some despite a World Series title last year, does his best work. “He’s the Pat Riley of baseball. He doesn’t get enough credit for the job he's done,” outfielder Joe Carter said after the Blue Jays clinched a third straight AL East title Monday. “But he has all the players’ respect.” Toronto will now play the White Sox next Tuesday in Chicago in the first game of the best-of-7 American League playoffs. The Jays faltered in early September with a six-game losing streak, but never fell from at least a tie for the top when the Yankees and Orioles couldn’t make up ground. Toronto has since won 13 of 15 games. “Just to come back and win the division is an accomplishment,” Gaston said. “But SENIORS yy What's Your Next Move? jLimaihllinA.

The White Sox celebrated after Bo Jackson’s three-run homer Monday night helped them clinch the American League West with a 4-2 victory over Seattle. “This is the icing on the cake, ” a jubilant Jackson said. “Now we have to light the candles against Toronto.” But pitching ace Jack McDowell issued a warning. “We still have things to accomplish,” he said. “It’s not going to be easy.” Immediately after clinching, manager Gene Lamont began shuffling his pitching staff. McDowell had been scheduled to pitch Tuesday night, but instead will go Wednes day, which puts him on a better schedule to open the series against the Blue Jays. | Personals | Heidi From Cheyenne Call Walter collect Your Sept 1992 bus companion. lowa to Chicago 1-702- 731-1630 Z loves Rhonda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mimmmmmmmmmmm !!?!f!!!!I!1!11 It If? 11? f!! ? 1!!!!!!!!

Wednesday, September 29,1993 many parks, and 20 of those courts are lighted. Also, many apartment complexes have their own courts. The private Chapel Hill Tennis Club has 24 outdoor courts and four indoor courts and is located in nearby Carrboro. Not counting the Cone-Kenfield Ten nis Center, there are 35 courts on campus. At night, there are 19 lighted courts, al though not all of them are well-lighted. So if you play at night, don’t play someone who’s really good, and keep your eyes on those passing shots at the net.
