Men look to unseat Terps while women try to defend title
By R.L. BYNXM
Staff Vriter
With aspirations of making 1980 the year that
perennial Atlantic Coast Conference champion
Maryland is dethroned, the North Carolina track team
travels to Richmond Saturday to kick off its outdoor
season.
Coach Joe Hilton said he believed the Terps are
beatable. "We're starting to close in on them," he said.
"The conference is getting stronger, but 1 think Clemson
has a better chance than we do."
,jCarolina is coming off an 1 1-1 dual-meet record and a
third-place finish in the ACC indoor championships.
Hilton said without injuries, the Tar Heels could have
made an even better snowing in that meet.
Carolina enters the Richmond Invitational without
high jumper Erwin Jones, pole vaulter Rob Jones, long
jumper Phil Farris and sprinter Kevin Lockerbie all of
whom are out with injuries.
."We are not that deep, so these nagging injuries hurt
us badly." Hilton said.
The Carolina women's team also will be opening its
season at the Richmond meet in its quest to defend the
state championship it won after posting a 7-1 record
indoors.
The women are led by long jumper Lisa Staton, who
set a school record indoors bv leapine 18'-1 1 58"
"In Richmond, I'll just be feeling it out and treating it
like a very serious practice," Staton said..
Another standout is Rosie Riddick, who holds the
school record in the shot put with a throw of 40 feet, nine
inches. ,
Top women in the 440 and 880 yard middle distance
events will be Karen Fischler, Marie Sheehan, Kimberly
Knickerbocker and Lauren Lewis.
In the 880-to-mile distances, the top runners are
N ancy Radford, M aria Daniel and Lindy Appen, H ilton
said.
"This will be like a learning meet," Appen said. "It will
sort of re-introduce us to competition since it's been
about a month since the end of the indoor season."
There will be no team scores kept at the Richmond
meet, so the team plans to concentrate more on relays
than on open events, using the meet as a tuneup.
"I'll be trying to work through these smaller meets to
prepare for the bigger ones," UNC high jump standout
Lee Shuler said. .
His biggest competition will come from three
Maryland jumpers who have turned in jumps of about
seven feet, "I'll do well in any meet," Shuler said. "They
will just give me more incentive to do better."
With an indoor best of 7-1 78, Shuler said his goals
are to reach 7-3, to win the ACC and to place in the
nationals. He also said he hopes to, be at the Olympic
trials, which will be held in June regardless of the status
of American participation in the Moscow games.
In the pole vault, freshman Chris Mand is the top man
with an indoor best of 15-6.'
Leading the distance runners are seniors Gary
Hofstetter at 5.000 and 10,000 meters and co-captain
Doug Slack at 5,000 meters. Freshman Britt Plummer
will be the top man in the half-mile for the Heels.
Sam Brown and Wayne Miller are two of the top
quarter-milers in the conference and both did very well
indoors, Hilton said. Another quarter mile man. Bob
Walsh, is questionable for the Richmond meet. Skip
Miller will be Carolina's top hurdler with a top time of
7.4 in the 60-yard indoor high hurdles.
The mile relay team that had included the injured
Lockerbie, Skip and Wayne Miller and Brown recently
broke the school record with a 3:13.9 time.
H ilton said he looked for big things from the distance
medley relay team that won the Florida relays last
spring. 1
Carolina should be strong in all three of the field
events in which there was no indoor competition. In the
discus. Hilton said Bob Blick and Doug Paschal were
showing signs of improvement.
. Villanova transfer Mark Steliotesand freshman Mike
Rockel are the top javelin throwers, while the
steeplechase is led by David Hankins and Jimmy
Cooper.

Tar Heel stickmen face
Towson State on road
By GEOFFREY MOCK
Staff Writer
The North Carolina lacrosse team, a surprisingly easy winner
over Virginia last Saturday, now takes the role of the favorite and
must thwart upset-minded Towson State when the teams meet at
7:30 p.m. Saturday in Towson, Maryland.
UNC head coach Willie Scroggs said his now fourth-ranked
Tar Heels are conscious of the dangers of a let-down.
"We have our work cut out for us," Scroggs said. "The season
has its peaks and valleys and you have to take them one game at a
time. Our preparation and practice should lead our kids to
believe in themselves."
Towson State moved up to Division 1 this season after years as
a Division II power.
The game will be Towson State's opener, but Scroggs said he
saw them play last year and was impressed. "Tom Hastings is an
outstanding goalie," he said. "Their real strength is at midfield.
where they have lots of returners. John Como and John Carrolan
are outstanding middies."
Scroggs said the past seasons offer a good indication of the
type of game Towson will play. "Teams have trends and patterns
that stay with them," he said. "This gives us an idea of what they
like to do. The key is preparing ourselves. We were ready to play
against Virginia, and we made them play our game."
Scroggs substituted liberally against Virginia, a policy he says
he will keep throughout the season. "We plan to play tn the
neighborhood of 20-22 people every game, no matter what the
score is," he said. "Playing that many people gives us depth.
Virginia couldn't rallv in the fourth period because we were
fresh."
A new rule change gave Carolina a few problems. This season,
there can be no substitions while the game is still going after the
face-off, preventing the use of a face-off specialist. "It was hairy
one or two times," Scroggs said. "Even though our kids knew the
new rule, they thought they should come off. The rule is
confusing."

Foster listed
as candidate
for State job
RALEIGH (AP)-Clemson
coach Bill Foster was added
Thursday to the list of coaches
whose names have cropped up as
possible candidates to succeed
Norman Sloan as basketball coach
at N. C. State.
However, N. C. State officials
said Foster had not been
interviewed by a screening
committee and refused to comment
on whether he is being considered
for the position.
"He (Foster) has not been here to
be interview ed for that job; he does
not have an appointment set up
with the committee," said Robert
S. Bryan, chairman of the four
member screening committee.
Asked w hether Foster was under
consideration for the vacancy,
Bryan said, "His name has been
mentioned to us, but as of this time
we have not made any agreements
to interview him. There are lots of
names that have been put before
us."
Bryan and spokesmen for the
athletic department at N. C. State
said there is no timetable for
picking a new coach but that they
expect an announcement to be
made by next week.
Other coaches whose names
have cropped up in published
reports as candidates include Jim
, Vaivano of Iona, Jack llartman of
Kansas State, Tom Young of
Rutgers and Lee Rose of Purdue.
Young, considered by many to
be a leading candidate, met in
Raleigh on Monday with
Wolfpack athletic officials.
"It was just an ordinary
interview," said Willis Casey,
athletic director at State when
asked about the discussion with
Young, who has been head coach
at Rutgers for seven years.
Casey said Tuesday that school
officials were "not even close yet"
to deciding a new coach. "I will say
the people we're looking at are
head coaches with a background in
national tournament play," he
added.
