They sit in quiet motel rooms late at
night with nothing to do but watch TV.
After a few beers, they yawn and search
for a diversion-any diversion-to put
some sort of meaning back into the
late-night hours.
From sheer desperation, they sort
aimlessly through a stack of dull white
papers piled half a foot high on a motel
desk. From the top of the stack falls a
three-page list of college football players,
in order by position with the name of
each player's school in parentheses.
Suddenly they breathe easier, grab the
nearest pencils, and gleefully begin to

Sports Writer
An amateur is one who cultivates a
pursuit for the sheer pleasure of it
without pursuing it professionally,
specifically in sports. Perhaps no player
on the Carolina soccer team epitomizes
this attitude better than Steve Dawson.
He loves soccer for what it is, a free
sport where skill is the single most
important factor. r;
"A small man -can compete with a
larger one," he says. "What he lacks in
skill, he can make up with desire and
skill. That's what the game is all about."
Steve learned how-to play at North
Springs, where he met and played on the
same team as UNC forward Danny Ariail.
"I talked to Danny before coming up

Dawson's style of play fits his
' attitudes toward the game. F;t - feet nine
inches tall and weighing i , Uii.i, .it
depends mostly on his speed and passing
to beat larger opponents.
Underrated by spectators but not by
the rest of the team, he is rarely seen with
the ball because he passes off so quickly.
"We don't have any ball hogs on our
team," says Dawson. "We're basically a
one touch team; we move around to the
open space."

And as they do, another pre-season
All-America team is born.
The men are sports reporters. To them
goes either the honor, the responsibility
or the duty of selecting most pre-season
All-America squads. Sometimes they take
their selections lightly, other times
they're entirely serious. Regardless, the
teams that they pick are pure fantasies
that spring to real life only in the minds
of sports publicity men.
The sportswriters generally think
All-America teams picked at the end of
every season is a darned nice idea. It gives
a few hard-working college kids the credit

soccer.
"Soccer players are different from aP
other sects of athletes. There are no jock
on our team, it's really a very intelhgen
game. I am very happy about playing
with this team."
He goes on to say, "Even the practices
are enjoyable, although we work very
hard."
Head coach Marvin Allen thinks of
Dawson as one of the team's hardest
workers. "Steve is an excellent player and
a very fine halfback," he said. "He's the
(Anson) Dorrance type. I put him out
there and don't worry about him; I know
he'll play the game."
When asked if he would start, Allen
laughed and said, "Yes, yes, of course."
Allen says one of Dawson's strongest
assets is his passing ability. "He
''stributes the ball very well, and he has
Ood ball control."
Dawson can play halfback or fullback,
whichever is necessary. As a freshman he
playeu with the varsity and started at the
end of the season.
The regular season begins this Friday
when the team travels to Buies Creek to
play Campbell College of the NAIA.
Dawson is not taking them lightly.
"We've seen them play before and
they're a tough team. They are very
skilled and have their foreign flavor, their
imports.
"We've been working more on defense
this week in preparation for Campbell, ;
trying to get it to congeal . . . We are
determined to win. We will win."

they deserve, and besides, they're secretly
flattered to be doing the picking.
But picking a pre-season All-America
squad is like having a group of
international writers give out Olympic
medals sometime in the middle of March.
It's simply a matter of pick and choose,
of choosing the names that sound familiar
and the schools with the winning
reputation.
The reporters are considered
well-informed if they've seen one-third of
the players on the list either in person or
on television. A sportswriter would have
to travel from coast to coast for four
solid months in order to see every
possible candidate for any single
pre-season list.

As for the sophomore All-America
candidates, the task borders on the
impossible. Very few full-time
sportswriters get in the habit of watching
freshman football teams mix it up. Those
that do aren't invited to choose
pre-season All-America teams anyway.
The publicity men, the people who
narrow down the possible choices to a
manageable hundred or so, are faced with
the same kink of problem. Most of the
players are strangers to them, too.
They rely instead on what they
read, what the coaches in their areas are
saying, and regrettably, what they hear
from other sports publicity men.
And by the time all the pre-season
All-America teams are announced, almost

every major school in the nation can lay
claim to at least one pre-season
All-America, or at the very least a
"possible All-America mention."
Carolina is no exception. The Tar
Heels seem to come up with one every
year, and this season defensive tackle Eric
Hyman is their man.
Hyman, however, offers a refreshing
change. He realizes the kind of things that
go into making up All-America teams and
views them as curiosities rather than as
hard core realities. To Hyman, pre-season
squads are the ingredients of which
sandwiches are made.
"Most of it is a bunch of baloney," he
said when asked for his opinion. i think
an awful lot of it amounts to little more
Hite paces
grid stats
Tailback Billy Hite carried the ball
twenty times in Carolina's 28-18 victory
over Richmond last Saturday and ended
up as the Tar Heels leading rusher. Hite
carried the ball a total of 86 yards for a
4.3 average.
Quarterback Nick Vidnovic had a
higher average (4.5 yards) but carried the
ball fewer times (11) for a second place
total of 49 yards.
Fullback Tim Kirkpatrick took third
place rushing honors with 40 yards in 8
carries for a 5 yard average.
Back-up quarterback Johnny Klise had
the highest average of all the UNC
runners (6 yards), but had only six carries
for 36 yards.
Both Vidnovic and Klise passed for 34
yards, but Klise had the better
completion percentage. He went 3 for 3
while Vidnovic completed four of nine
attempted passes for a .444 average.
No Tar Heel caught more than one
pass but seven receivers totaled 68 yards
against Richmond.
Richmond led the Heels in four
categories: yards passing, passes
attempted, passes completed, and yards
lost in the running game.

than publicity. There are some regional
biases involved, too, which makes the
selections pretty inaccurate."
It could make Hyman's pre-season
pretty inaccurate, too. Does this mean
that he doesn't deserve the recognition?
Tm afraid I don't, he said flatly.
"It's a nice honor, so don't get me wrong.
But I'd much rather wait until after the
season, when the selections are at least
partly accurate. Right now there are
plenty of guys in the ACC alone that
could ve been picked as easily as myself."
Hyman began getting the AO-American
build-up at the tafl end of last season,
when he acquired a reputation around the
ACC as a virtually unstoppable pass
rusher.
But injuries, the single factor that
keeps more players off All-America teams
than anything else, kept Hyman off the
playing field for the entire 1970 season.
He also missed two games last season due
to a shoulder separation, and played only
sparingly in Carolina's 28-18 win over
Richmond Saturday because of an ankle
injury.
But if the injuries' only effect was
keeping him off All-America teams,
Hyman wouldn't give the matter a second
thought.
"You have to be halfway decent to
make the team, of course," he said. "But
you also have to be lucky, get the right
publicity and be in the right place at the
right time. It's almost meaningless.
"For instance, I talked to Don
McCauley and Lewis Jolley after they
went to a couple of these college all-star
games, and what they told me was
amazi.ig. They said they couldn't believe
some of the guys who made the squad.
They really felt let down, so 1 figure there
must be something wrong with the way
the players are chosen."
And in the case of the pre-season
teams, what's wrong is the fact that
they're chosen at all.
