8The Daily Tar HeelThursday, September 10, 1981 Volleyball looks to opening game By TRACY YOUNG , DTII Staff Writer It is tough to go into a match without seeing either of the teams, said Women's Volleyball coach Beth Miller of her team's two opening matches next week. Tar Heels travel to Catawba on Tuesday and Appalachian State on Thursday. "We can't take either of these teams lightly," Miller, said. "I haven't seen either of them play. If we play well, we should win." ' ' ' ' Miller has seven returning players on this year's team; sen iors Terri Wallace and Jenny Watson, juniors Laura Held, Katie Howard, and Jacky Jones, and sophomores Mercedes Ballbe and Sandy Schmidt. Her three new members are soph omore Donna Meier, a transfer from the University of New Mexico, and freshmen Linda Kantz and Leslie Meek. "It gets more difficult every year for a new player to come in and make the team," Miller said. She said that she holds try-outs every fall not only for potential players for also for returners. "One of the strongpoints of the team is that we have a lot of ability," Miller said. "Each year we are getting better play ers." Good players pick up basic skills faster and Miller said this left more time to work on advanced skills. The main thing on Miller's mind through practice has been to find replacements for Gndy Adcock,' a middle hitter, and Adri Esnard, a setter. Meier and Schmidt will alternate in Adcock's position while Kantz and Ballbe will take over for Esnard; Both Miller and Wallace said the team was a specialized one. Each player has a position she specializes in. Wallace is an onside hitter. Wallace said the team was very balanced. "I feel like every body out there is a leader. Everybody will contribute in some way. "I've seen the team become more of a whole unit since I've been here," she said. "Everybody really cares for every body else." Because the team is so equal, Miller said she was consider ing having alternating captains selected by game performance. The one main obstacle the team is going to have to over come is the letdown in performance it has suffered mid season for the past two years. While Wallace said this had been a problem, Miller did not. "We usually peak too early," Wallace said. "You can con trol it with practice,' but I think that mentally we let ourselves drop. "I don't think there was the same intensity and emotional--ism on the court," she said. "We were more or less just going through the motions." f . Miller said that the girls did not slow down, but, simply reached a plateau. She said that the skills of the players dur ing this period actually increased, but that mentally they stayed level. "We didn't play as well as I think we should have in the re gionals, but we had a good season last year," Miller said. "I'm looking for a better one this year." . The Tar Heels ended last season with a 41-13 record. I - l ! Nvxwwxar- , ; OTHIilepholo Jennifer Watson returns to lead Heels ... Volleyball team opens Tuesday Recruiting is getting stronger in the volleyball program here and nine of the ten players are on some type of athletic schol arship. The tenth player is a Morehead scholar. Miller said that while the strength of Carolina's volleyball , program drew many of the players here, she also-said the school itself was a natural attraction. , - The upgraded recruitment resulted in Carolina's winning the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament and the Maryland tournament and finishing second in the state tournament. Both Miller and Wallace said they were excited about the opening of the season. Wallace said she was also very inter ested in seeing how the team will play together in a game situation. N o Tth C a fo Hiia Miigby club to host Bristol University clnB team UNC Rugby Club President Nick Addison described the upcoming game with the Bristol University Rugby Club at 5:45 p.m. Friday as the high mark of the season. . ' - . ' , ISVl's & Clubs By Morris Haywood The game on Carmichael Field, will be the opening contest for the Carolina club. The university team, from Bristol, England, is currently touring the United States and the Bahamas. Bristol was the runner-up in a British national champion ship. -V: The Bristol team will be at UNC for six days, and will begin their stay here with a reception given by Carolina's club at 3:30 p.m. today at the Morehead Planetarium. Addison said he hoped for a tight, ex citing game. "We are very much looking forward to playing them," .he said. "They have a great team." Although the Bristol match may be the high spot of the season, Addison said that he was also looking forward to the Atlan tic Coast Conference tournament and hopefully a chance to play in the Eastern Regionals and the national tournament. The rugby club will face a tough schedule this year, but the Tar Heels are counting on a lot of support. "This is definitely the high spot in the season," Addison said. " We are really hoping for a large turnout and support." Notes: The UNC bowling team will be holding tryouts today, Sept. 15 and. 17. There will be twelve positions on the team to be filled. This year's men's team will have five returning players. The women's team will return four. The bowling team is not a member of the Sports Club Council, but it is not a varsity sport, either. Sponsored by the Carolina Union, it competes in the Southern Intercollegiate Bowling Con gress. UNC's division includes teams from N.C, ' State, Eastern Carolina, North Carolina Central, UNC-Wilmin-ton and St. Augustine's. Persons interested in trying out should be at the bowling lanes on the lower level of the Carolina Union at 4 p.m. today. More information can be obtained by calling Tim Wetherby at 962-4131. Today is the deadline for entering in tramural competition.

NCAA, attempts reorganization ead off CFA te lewis io n revolt to h The Associated Press The NCAA Council voted Tuesday to call a special convention the week of Dec. 6 to consider reorganizing its top division. The move was prompted by demands from many College Football Association schools, which also are members of the NCAA. An NCAA spokesman said the site and the exact date of the convention would be determined later. In related developments Tuesday, three major CFA schools filed class action suits against, the NCAA. The University of Texas filed a class action suit in state court in Austin, and the Universities of Georgia and Oklahoma filed a similar actionin federal court in Oklahoma on behalf of all 61 CFA schools. Later Tuesday, a state district judge in Austin issued a tem porary restraining order prohibiting the NCAA from taking or threatening disciplinary action against schools which participate in the CFA's $180 million television arrangement with NBC. ? Chancellor James Wharton of Louisiana State said he thought the class action suits would lead to more support among CFA members for the CFA's proposed television contract. Indications were that most of the CFA members who tenta tively agreed on the football contract with NBC would change their votes because of a possible compromise with the NCAA concerning the reorganization of its top division. But the three class action suits muddled the situation. "My guess is the members voting for ratification of the contract will y I And Present 11th A I If!

"The filing of the suits gives the CFA institutions an opportunity to make the decision without fear of sanctions or disciplinary action from the NCAA." The final vote of CFA members on the new NBC contract comes Thursday. The attempt to reorganize Division I-A is certain to meet with fierce resistance by the more than 50 schools that will be faced with possible exclusion. The NCAA has tried unsuccessfully before to pare down its top football division. Division I-A now has 137 members, includ ing all 61 CFA schools and the Big Ten and Pac-10. Under the plan tentatively drawn up by a special committee on reorganization, schools in the Mid-America, Pacific Coast Athletic Association, Southland and the Southern conferences would be affected. The crux of the. proposed reorganization would eliminate a stipulation that schools are eligible for Division I-A membership by sponsoring 12 sports. The CFA is comprised of every major college football program except schools in the Big Ten and Pac-10. The CFA voted 33-20 last month to adopt the NBC plan. The NCAA has reached an agreement for the same period with ABC and CBS. Atlantic Coast Conference schools all decided in favor of the CEA-NBC plan except for North Carolina, which abstained. Officials of the eight member universities recently spoke together on a conference phone call about possible compromises between NCAA and the CFA. UNC pep rally to he Held in pit The varsity cheerleaders expect today's nspep rally ialhe Pit at 3 pm. to. create more f istiident enthusiasm than in past years when the rally consisted of a parade to several dormitories, co-head cheerleader Ted r Hopkins said Tuesday. , The stationary pep rally will differ from the moving ones because it is sched uled for a specific time and date, Hopkins said. Last year's parading pep rallies flop ped because they lacked both organization and participation, he said. "Ten years ago, they used to. have mas sive pep rallies (in the Pit); they were somethingeverybody knew about," Hop kins said. Hopkins said the band and the new mikeman would join the cheerleaders in leading the rally today. He also expected Student Body President Scott Norberg to say a few words. Creating student enthusiasm will be critical to the team's success, Hopkins said. "If we're (the team) getting down or we fumble, that's when we should go wild. If the crowd gets down, the team gets down. We can control the outlook, and we can help the team." Helping the team is the goal of a good pep rally, Hopkins said. - Chants and new cheers are to be per formed in today's rally. Hopkins said skits presented by different student or ganizations would be included in future pep rallies. Cheerleaders also will be doing some thing new at this year's home games. "We're going to spread around; we're going to take the second part of the second quarter to goover to the alumni section," Hopkins said.
