Monday, September 27, 1932The Daily Tar Heei5 The Page UNCima ssacres Army 62-8 By LINDA ROBERTSON Sports Editor Not even Pearl Harbor was so one sided. Although Army's football team was ambushed early, the 62-8 massacre in Kenan Stadium seemed to stretch from here to eternity for the Cadets Saturday. "Carolina completely dominated the game both offensively and defensively," Army coach Ed Cavanaugh said. "I don't remember being so completely dominated since the Pitt game a few years ago." Ironically, the only major casualty came for the Tar Heels. Quarterback Rod Elkins injured his left knee midway through the second quarter when UNC was leading 27-0. Elkins ran for 23 yards before going down out of bounds at the Army 25. "Nobody really hit him," UNC coach Dick Crum said. "It was just the way he came down. He could have been walking down the sidelines and that might've hap pened." Elkins underwent arthroscopic surgery Saturday night and doctors announced he would probably be out three to four weeks. Elkins was on his way to perhaps his best performance as a collegian. On his second pass of the game, he eluded tacklers and completed a 44-yarder to Ethan Horton. Six plays later, James Jones dove over from the 1-yard line and UNC led 7-0 after just three and a half minutes. At one point he completed seven straight. When he limped off the field, ACC football action Elkins was already 12 of 16 for 176 yards. But Elkins' absence certainly didn't in terrupt the flow of UNC's attack. Junior' quarterback Scott Stankavage came in and completed an 18-yard pass to Victor Harrison and, on the next play, ' an 1 1-yard touchdown pass to Horton 34-0. "Scott played as a sophomore last year, so he's been around awhile," Crum said. "He functioned very well today. I have no problem putting him in at any time." The UNC defense was as stingy as the offense was prolific, limiting Army to 30 yards rushing and 78 passing. The Cadets' first first down didn't come until the second quarter. "The ball-control offense kept us off the field so we were fresh all day," defen sive tackle Jack Parry said. "I don't real ly enjoy games like this one because the defense tends to lose intensity when there are so many points on the board. It's good because it gives the others a chance to play. Our backups could start on most Division I teams." Carolina's blitzkrieg rush sacked Army quarterbacks seven times. Third-string quarterback Rich Laughlin had minus 32 yards rushing. "Carolina's interior line has great technique getting by the. blockers. There was nowhere for me to go," Laughlin said. "We thought we were as good or better than Vanderbilt and that we could play with them. And this is the best Army team I've seen in three years." While Army could have used some re inforcements, UNC played ring around the roster. Eleven Tar Heels ran the foot ball and eight caught passes. Reserve Bobby Ratliff scored on a 17-yard run just before halftime and senior Bob McKinley scored the first touchdown of his UNC career from one yard out with 4:41 remaining. Tyrone Anthony had 136 yards on 11 carries and two touchdowns, including an . 83-yard sprint down the right sideline, the sixth longest run from scrimmage in UNC history. "As far as the other guys getting to play, I like a game like this," Anthony said. "Otherwise, I really like to win a close game. I'll take them either way, though." The UNC offense turned the Long Gray Line into so many bowling pins as the Tar Heels rolled for 643 total yards, 414 on the ground and 229 through the air. UNC scored on its first seven pos sessions. Not. even back judge Michael Donato, who was inadvertently in on one play, could tackle the Tar Heels. Army's best strategy might have been to draft Lawrence Taylor, who because of the NFL strike was in Kenan instead of the Meadowlands. "We didn't beat anybody that bad, but I don't think we played anybody that bad either," Taylor said. UNC simply outmanned, out maneuvered and outmuscled the smaller Army squad in every category. "It would've helped to have our star in there (halfback Gerald Walker) because he usually runs well against great teams," said one cadet who made the 12-hour drive from West Point. "But let's be rr.r .,.

Army's lone score came early in the fourth quarter when quarterback Bryan Allem engineered an 80-yard drive. Bill Lampley dove over from the 1-yard line and Allem completed the two-point con version pass to Rusty Stewart. Army's cheerleaders then set off what appeared to be a red-tinted napalm bomb on the sidelines. But it didn't smell like victory. Even Buckshot, one of four mules used as Army mascots, seemed eager to get back to the Academy. t Duke, Maryland score decisive home wins The Associated Press Duke quarterback Ben Bennett passed for three touchdowns and set up two others as the Blue Devils roared past Virginia 51-17 in an Atlantic Coast Con ference football game Saturday. Bennett connected on 21 of 30 passes before sitting out the fourth quarter with Duke ahead 37-10. Duke's 51 points were the most it has scored since 1962 when it overpowered Wake Forest, 50-0. Duke is now 3-0, its best start since 1971. Bennett, a junior from Sunnyvale, Calif., hooked lip with split end Chris Castor on scoring tosses of 6 and 31 yards, the latter coming with less than a minute gone in the second half to put Duke ahead 27-3. Bennett, who became only the second player in Duke history to pass for more than 4,000 career yards, set up two other touchdowns with his pinpoint passing. His 35-yard toss to wide receiver Gary Frederick set up a 7-yard touchdown run by tailback Mike Grayson that put the Blue Devils ahead, 37-10, with 3:24 left in the third quarter. Grayson finished with 102 yards on just 8 carries, including two touchdowns. Duke added two fourth-quarter touchdowns, one on a 30-yard pass from Ron Sally to Scott Russell and the other on a 4-yard run by Julius Grantham. Boomer Esiason's touchdown pass launched a 17-point spurt in the opening 3:38 of the second quarter, and Maryland rolled to a 23-6 Atlantic Coast Conference victory over North Carolina State Saturday. It was the home opener for the Terps, following nar row losses to nationally ranked Penn State and West Virginia. State, which had won its first three games at home, lost for the sixth straight time at Maryland. After an 8-yard TD reception by Russell Davis broke a scoreless tie on the first play of the second period, an in terception and a fumble set up 10 more quick Maryland points. -Freshman Rick Badahjek scored on a 1-yard run after Howard Eubanks picked off a Tol Avery pass on the third play after the first TD and returned it 19 yards to the state seven. State's Don Wilson fumbled the ensuing kickoff, Badanjek recovered, and a personal penalty put the ball on the Wolfpack six. State held, but Jess Atkinson booted a 24ardfield. goal'to make it 17-0. J " Atkinson" dso "connected from 45 yards on the final play of the first half and from 23 yards in the fourth quarter. Esiason passed for 183 yards and Willie Joyner rushed for 111 in Maryland's ACC opener. State, now 1-1, scored on Larmount Lawson's 1-yard run with 6:33 left. Tailback Chuck McSwain made up for two first-half fumbles by scoring two second half touchdowns to ignite a lackluster, mistake-ridden Clemson to a 21-10 football win over Western Carolina Saturday. The win was the first of the year for the Tigers, the 1981 national football champions. They are now 1-1-1 for the season. The Atlantic Coast Conference Tigers, plagued by four first-half turnovers, trailed 10-9 at mtermission. The Catamounts of the Southern Conference over whelmed Clemson in the first half, piling up 255 yards total offense to Clemson's 123. The visitors also had 12 first downs to the Tigers' six. Quarterback Ronnie Mixon was the driving force behind the Western Carolina attack, passing for 244 yards with deadly accuracy to a number of Catamount receivers. McSwain, who fumbled twice in the first period, pac ed a Tiger comeback in the third quarter. He scored on runs of two and six yards to put Clemson ahead for good. Clemson placekicker Bob Paulling kicked field goals of 26, 33 and 31 yards, all in the first half. Western Carolina's lone touchdown came in the se cond period when tailback Anthony James sauntered 25 yards to the end zone. Kicker Dean Biasucci booted a 48-yard field goal to complete the Catamount scoring. Freshman running back Mike Ramseur rushed for 191 yards and scored two touchdowns to lead Wake Forest to a 31-22 win over visiting Appalachian State in a non conference college football game Saturday. Ramseur carried 42 times and scored on a pair of 1- yard runs in the second quarter as the Demon Deacons jumped to a 17-7 halftime lead. Wake scored fourth-quarter touchdowns on a blocked punt and after a 50-yard drive to break open a 17-14 game. The Deacons, 2-2, added their first insurance touch down when defensive back Lynn Conner blocked the Apps' punt and freshman Reggie McQinMnings returned it 35 yards for a touchdown, giving Wake a 24-14 lead. After an Appalachian punt, Wake drove 50 yards for its final score, with quarterback Leo Leitner passing to Dexter Hawkins for a 4-yard touchdown. The Apps, 0-3, cut the deficit to 31-22 on a scoring toss of 8 yards from Stan Goodson to Jerome McDaniels and Goodson's conversion pass to Terrell Murphy. A 63-yard interception return by Mountaineer defen sive tackle Mike Roberts set up Alvin Parker's 1-yard touchdown run to close ASU's scoring. ""'V.v. In weekend home meet DlVSrelci Ledford Glen Spcrrow is congrstubtcd by his mother following his win in the Tar Heel Invitational cross country meet The UNC women's cross country team placed second to No. 7-ranked Tennessee in a five team meet which also included Maryland, Wake Forest and Duke at Finley Golf Course Saturday. Joan Nesbit led the team with a time of 17:53 to finish fourth overall. Holly Mur ray followed, finishing fifth overall with 18:00 and Madlyn Morreale placed sixth with 18:07. Kemper Knight placed 15th and Laura Whitney finished 16th. Ten nessee's Kathy Bryant won with a time of 17:27 for the 3.1 mile (5,000 meter) course. Valerie Roback, Janice High,' Bridget Thompson, Kathy Stetson and Kathy Flaherty also ran for UNC. Tennessee won the meet with 21 poifits; Carolina placed second with 46; Maryland came in third with 86; and Wake Forest placed fourth with 1 18. Duke finished fifth with 121. ! - "I was pleased," Murray said. "During the first two miles I felt tired there were lots of girls around me all fighting for posi tions. The last half-mile I got a second wind. There were two Tennessee girls up ahead. I went after them Madlyn came with me and we picked them off. Seeing the finish line saved me." "I was disappointed with my overall place finish," Morreale said. "But I didn't give up and I have no regrets, though it would have been nice to beat Tennessee." "I was very happy and particularly pleased that our top three ran so close to each other," Coach Don Lockerbie said. "I would say that along with Virginia, Tennessee will be among the top con-' tenders for the South in the Nationals. On - ly four teams from the South go, so the other two spots will be filled with either Clemson, State or us." UNC men win two, lose one in cross country meet By KURT ROSENBERG Staff Writer The order of finish of each of the four teams in Saturday's Tar Heel Invitational at Finley Golf Course was really not sur prising. Wake Forest's men's team was first, followed by UNC, then Duke and finally, in last place, Maryland. Most people expected it to wind up that way. But what was unexpected was the ease with which the Deacons won the meet. Wake Forest took five of the' first seven places, defeating North Carolina for the first time ever in men's cross country, 23-35. Still, the Tar Heels overwhelmed Duke, 18-45 and Maryland, 15-50, to raise their season record to 3-1. "Wake Forest's talent was a surprise," UNC coach Don Lockerbie said. "They showed better depth than I thought they would. Guys that were absolute nobodies for them last year are really being noticed by people this year." Guys like Robbie Raisback, who finished third for the Deacons and fifth overall. And Ron Rick, second overall behind North Carolina's Glenn Sparrow. "Nobody even knew about Rick;" Lockerbie said. "I didn't even know he existed." Sparrow won the race virtually un challenged, in a time of 25:44, estab lishing a record for the new five-mile course. Rick's time was 26:1 1 and Wake's George Nicholas was third in 26:27. For the second week in a row, UNC's Brian Mclnerny turned in an impressive performance. He was fourth overall, finishing in 26:43. But the Deacons cap tured the next three spots and that was the race. "I expected to see more of our guys right up there," Mclnerny said. "It was a little disappointing that we weren't up there further." Sparrow was equally disappointed. "I had heard that they were strong, but I thought we could break them up a lot bet ter than we did," he said. For a while, it looked like North Carolina might do that. With two miles to go the outcome was still uncertain, as UNC's Jack Morgan, David Herion, Jeff Hyman, Dick Larson and Mike Komin sky still were within striking distance of the Deacons' second pack of runners. But they faded on the hilly part of the course and finished 10th through 14th, respec tively. ; Lockerbie was impressed with Wake Forest, a greatly improved team which finished sixth in the ACC last year but is 6-0 this season. And the Deacons won the Tar Heel Invitational without their top runner, David Crowe,. who was injured. "They were very, very motivated for this race perhaps more so than we were," the UNC coach said. "They looked like a championship team." If that wasn't anticipated by some peo ple, Wake coach Ramsey Thomas wasn't one of them. "It really wasn't a surprise," Thomas said. "We knew that our team was good." "We didn't expect to beat them like that," Crum said. "It's hard to make a judgment on that type of game. We got so far ahead early that Army was forced to do things it wouldn't normally do." Like surrender. Elkins may miss three to four weeks after undergoing post-game operation From wire reports North Carolina quarterback Rod Elkins may miss three to four weeks of action due to injuries to his left knee sustained in Saturday's 62-8 victory over Army, the team physi cian said Saturday night. Dr. Timothy Taft, orthopedic surgeon for UNC athletic teams, performed arthroscopic surgery on Elkins at North Carolina Memorial Hospital following the. game. "I would hope Rod would be back in action in three to four weeks, but I do not want to be com mitted to that time period," Taft said. "We will assess his progress on a regular basis." Taft said Elkins' injuries were torn lateral meniscus cartilage and a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee the same knee he in jured two years ago. Taft said he felt good about the fact there was minimal instability in the knee, even though the ligament was torn. He said he " plans to discharge Elkins from the student infirmary either Sunday or Mon day. Elkins, a senior from Greensboro, hurt the knee midway ' through the second quarter while scrambling from the pocket. Heran 23 yards to the Army 25, but in an attempt to dodge a Cadet defender, appeared to twist the knee. Taft said Elkins told him he did not think he was injured as a result of being hit, but that when he planted his foot the knee "simply gave way." Hines leads UNC field hockey to 3-0 victory over Richmond Women 's X-country takes second By ROBYN NORWOOD Staff Writer Old Dominion defeated North Carolina 5-0 in field hockey Sunday in a tough bat tle on rain-saturated Navy Field. Carolina played outstanding defense in the first half, but the players found themselves down 2-0 at the break after Evelyn LaPoole scored on an assist by Ail American Yogi Hightower with only 30 seconds left in the period. The first goal of the game was scored by the same combina tion 19 minutes into the game. UNC head coach Karen Shelton said she believed the score at the end of the half "took the steam out of Carolina's offense." Indeed, the Heels only managed two shots on goal the entire game. Old Dominion tallied 15, but goalie Jan Miles had an outstanding game with eight saves. In the second half, the LaPoole Hightower duo scored its third and final goal of the game at the 25-minute mark. Old Dominion's final two goals were scored by Christy Morgan and Dawn Hill, who scored the final goal of the game with three minutes left on the clock. . Old Dominion coach Beth Anders, whose team finished third in the nation last year, said she was impressed with the young North Carolina team and said she thought the tough scheduling would benefit the team by the end of the season. Shelton also praised the Old Dominion team, and particularly the pla of their forwards and midfielders. "We had trouble breaking through their midfield," Shelton said. "Once we penetrated, we were able to sustain play, but it was really difficult for us to get in there." Both coaches said the inclement weather had little effect on the game. The girls took a lot of spills on the wet turf, but Shelton pointed out that in international hockey the field is often wet down because that makes it play more like real grass. "I am disappointed and I think the girls are disappointed," Shelton said. "We had expected to do better." North Carolina's record fell to 3-2; Old Dominion remains undefeated at 4-0. Carolina is in action against Virginia Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. in Chapel Hill. Men's soccer shuts out N.C. Wesley an, Devey takes over as seasons leading scorer Taking a cue from an earlier perfor mance across the way in Kenan Stadium, the men's soccer team displayed their ver sion of a rout in blanking North Carolina Wesley an 4-0 Saturday on Fetzer Field. The win should secure UNC's No. 16 spot in the national rankings, and boosts their record to 7-0-1. Forward Kenny West got the ball rolling for the Tar Heels with an unassisted goal 18:25 into the game. Freshman Mark Devey' s driving in swinger met up with left back Jay Ainslie in the middle of the area for goal number two, eight minutes later. The Tar Heels went up 3-0 with 16:27 left in the half when Devey again hit a cor ner kick from the right side, this time freshman Billy Hart man nodding it home. Senior Ben Abell finished things off with the fourth goal of the half and the final of the game with 2:15 remaining in the opening period. "The guys are starting to settle into the system that we wtnt ihem to rim," aid head coach Anson Dorrance. "We were working some good patterns, some of the best patterns I've seen us work all season." The Goodyear blimp provided most of the excitement in the second half, as the silver zeppelin caught the eyes of the fans when the game could not, hovering over the Chapel Hill campus for a good half hour. "We didn't tell the guys to relax," Dor rance said of the second half, "but we made some changes. And any time you do that, it's going to upset your rhythm." Wesleyan coach Tony Ferrell saw the game as a learning experience for liis Bishops, Division III team with nine freshmen and two sophomores in the start ing lineup. "It takes a while for the guys to get used to the different styles of play," Ferrell said. "But it does a lot for our program to have Carolina on our schedule." MICHAEL DESIST!
