&7The Daily Tar HeelFriday. November 13, 1981 One says major howl not out "Bowl ccd nt say UNC to Gafor By NORMAN CANNADA Assistant Sports KdUor If what some of what the bowl execu tives from across the country are saying is true. North Carolina could be spending its Christmas vacation in Jacksonville, Fla. as guest of the Gator Bowl. " We are very interested in North Caro lina and would love to have them in Memphis, but we have heard that they may have made a move toward the Gator Bowl," Liberty Bowl founder and execu tive director Bud Dudley said in a tele phone interview. "They are supposed to be getting back to us, but it doesn's ap pear that they are too interested in our bowl." UNC Athletic Director John Swofford said that only the Tangerine Bowl and Garden State Bowl have been ruled out as possibilities for the Tar Heels, due to the fact that both conflict with Carolina's exam schedule. He refused to say, though, which bowls were higher on North Caro lina's list. "I think we've got a good opportunity to go to a bowl game," Swofford said. "We haven't ruled them (the Liberty Bowl) out or any other bowl except the ones that conflict with our exam sche dules." Swofford said he would make the final decision as to which bowl the Heels go to, working with head coach Dick Cram. Cram will also get a feel of where the UNC seniors would like to go. . "1 don't think there will be a conflict in what we decide," Swofford said. "We'll look at a lot of things like TV exposure and the financial situation and work it out together." Who the Gator Bowl is looking to de pends on who you talk to. Information Director Ted Emory said that the Tar Heels are among eight teams that the bowl is currently looking at. Executive Vice President George Olsen said 18 teams are still on the Gator Bowl list. Both agreed, though, that the Tar Heels have a good chance of being invited to Jacksonville for the Dec. 28 game, al though stopping short of agreeing with Dudley's assessment. "The Liberty Bowl is great for making comments on other people's bowls," Olsen said. "That's good speculation, but it's still a bit too early." . The Gator Bowl and Fiesta Bowl are the only bowls who are planning to have representatives at Saturday's North Carolina-Virginia game in Charlottesville. "We are still interested in North Caro lina and they seem to still be interested in us," Fiesta Bowl Spokesman Bruce Skinner said. "They have a big play man in Kelvin Bryant and that is certainly something that we look for." But, several bowls including the Liber ty Bowl, consider the Tar Heels to be else where, "We would like to have North Caro lina. We've seen them play two or three times, but they seem to be headed for the Gator Bowl," Peach Bowl Executive Director George Crumbley said. "We have talked, but there is no indication that they are interested in coming to At lanta." The Sun Bowl, another bowl consi dering the Tar Heels, feels UNC is going to Jacksonville. "We would like to have them, but we don't think they're interested just because of the money," a Sun Bowl spokesman said. "Right now we see North Carolina in the Gator Bowl against Penn State." Last year the Tar Heels went to Hous ton to the Bluebonnet Bowl, beating Texas 16-7. Bluebonnet Bowl spokesman Les Haulbrook said that although he would like the Tar Heels to come back to Houston, he doesn't think that is a very good possibility. "Our feeling right now is that North Carolina is going to a major bowl," Haulbrook said. "We think Clemson will go to either the Orange or Cotton and Carolina will go to the other. If not, I think they will probably slide into the Gator Bowl. "Even if they don't get into "one of those bowls, we have no idea that North Carolina would want to come back to Houston. They might not want to fall into a rut." Three strikes for soccer player didn't mean out Cav surprise for Tar Heels? UNC coach Dick Cram said that Vir ginia may thrown a few surprises the Tar Heels' way in Saturday's game at the Cavalier's Scott Stadium.- "They usually change a lot of things for us; it's their game of the year," Cram said. "We have to be open-minded so we can adjust to the changes they make." Virginia, 1 -7, had a open date last week to prepare for. UNC and heal players' ailments. Senior quarterback Todd Kirkley will be available for backup duty after being replaced by Gordie Whitehead during the Rutgers game due to a broken hand. The Cavalier's top defensive lineman Stuart Anderson was injured three weeks ago but he is' expected to suit up. For UNC, Rod Elkins will start at quarterback coming off a nagging ankle injury. Ethan Hortan will start at tailback but will probably share equal time with Tyrone Anthony who is almost 100 per cent now. Kelvin Bryant will play, but sparingly because of the Astroturf. "Kelvin will play no more than he played last week," Cram said. "If he was playing on grass we'd pick up his playing time." rnajft mm wiiM'H'Wr -jtmtw J By LINDA ROBERTSON DT1I Start Writer Tony Johnson already had three strikes against him when he began his collegiate soccer career. He was a black American in a game dominated by whites and foreigners. Strike one. He started late in a skill sport. Most good soccer players grow up between the goal lines. Strike two. He was a native North Carolinian and in the ACC, no member of that species starts on any team's forward line. Strike three. Despite these conventions and possible barriers to success, Johnson has been UNC's leading scorer for two years. That says something about his talent and determination. "Tony is the most improved player on the team and that's because he has worked himself to death," UNC coach Anson Dorrance said. "When he came in his freshman year, a lot of people didn't think he'd make much of a contribution. But Tony just carries the team." Johnson comes from a spot on the map called Buies Creek, N.C. The fact that it is named after a creek probably says something about the size and personality of the town. "If Campbell College wasn't there, Buies Creek would be deserted." Johnson said. "There's not a whole lot there." His first experience in organized soccer was as center halfback at Hartnett Central High, a school which boasted four varsity sports. Johnson was a tliree-time All-State selection and made the All-South squad as a senior. Johnson was demoted to the junior varsity team just after ar riving at UNC. But in his first varsity appearance that year, he scored a goal arid an assist and Dorrance kept him on the roster. He was playing well until he went up for a head ball and came down with a smashed nose and broken wrist. In profile: Tony Johnson "The rest of that year was pretty frustrating," Johnson said. "That summer I worked really hard every day and there was a tremendous change by the start of my sophomore year." Last year Johnson led the team with nine goals and a record setting nine assists and was named the squad's most valuable of fensive player as well as honorable mention All-ACC. This season, the 6-2, 185-pound junior leads, the team with 12 s GUTOTr l goals and has established himself as one of the premier strikers in the conference. . . "Tony is a phenomenal one-on-one player and has great strength in the air," Dorrance said. "He is also a good target man he protects the ball well when there's somebody right on his back." "It's the hardest position," Johnson said. "You're the only person with your back to the goal so you get hit a lot from behind." Johnson's aggressive style of play is a majo,r reason for the Tar Heels' successful season. Due to Duke's loss to State last Friday, Dorrance has revised his earlier predictions about UNC's chances for an NCAA bid. "It looks much better now because of the shuffling around in the ACC," Dorrance said. "If we beat Duke Sunday we should get a bid." Ironically, the loss that appeared earlier to have wiped out the Tar Heels' chances for an elusive national bid was to none other than the Campbell College Camels in Buies Creek. "I lost a lot of sleep over that one since it was ray hometown," Johnson said. "But this has been quite a season for what was supposed to be a rebuilding year. We beat Clemson and I think when this team puts it all together we could beat anybody in the country." .
