Monday, October 11, 1982The Daily Tar Hee!7 ieels survive scare; stop Wake Dy MICHAEL PEKSINGER Staff Writer North Carolina did what everyone expected them to do. They ran all over Wake Forest, gaining 368 rushing yards on the way to a 24-7 victory in WinstonSalem Saturday. Most people, however, expected the margin to be wider. After outscoring their last three opponents. by a combined total of US-15, and boasting the nation's number one defense, as well as a trio of talented tailbacks, the Tar Heels were expected to sprint away from the Demon Deacons, now 3-3. Carolina head coach Dick Crum was not one of those people. "When we play Wake Forest, we are going to get their best ef fort," Crum said. "They always play us really well." The Tar Heels completely dominated the first half, controll ing the ball 19:36 of the game's first 30 minutes. But turnovers kept the Deacons in the game. Tar Heel tailback Kelvin Bryant lost two first-half fumbles, the first of which led to a one-yard plunge by the Deacon's Michael Ramseur that knotted the score at seven. The Tar Heels had drawn first blood on a 40-yard sprint to the end zone by tailback Tyrone Anthony. Anthony, from near by Pfafftown, ended the day as Carolina's leading rusher, finishing with 179 yards on 24 carries. Bryant, who had been bothered by an ankle injury, looked like the Bryant of old, run ning for 142 yards on 29 carries. Ethan Horton, who started the game, ended up seeing limited action. "We just got Kelvin and Tyrone going, and when they are playing like that, we are going to stick with them," Crum said, referring to Horton's lack of playing time. "They (Horton, An thony and Bryant) are the best of friends, and they understand that next week somebody else may play more." Bryant's second fumble of the half posted a potential disaster for the Tar Heels, as the Deacons took over at the North Carolina 7-yard line. The disaster was averted, however, as three Gary Schofield passes fell harmlessly to the Groves Stadium turf. Schofield, who had completed 65 percent of his passes this season, put in a sub-par, 17-of-41 performance for 156 yards. A mishandled snap on the Deacons' field goal attempt ended the threat, as well as Wake's hopes for a halftime lead. The Tar Heels suffered two important losses in the first half with the injuries of Dave Drechsler and Steve McGrew. Drechsler, a senior offensive guard, reinjured the ankle that has hampered his performance all season, and he may miss next week's home contest with N.C. State. McGrew, the Tar Heels' center, will be out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury. "You are going to have injuries, and there is not much you can do about them," Crum said. After a second field goal attempt by Barwick wandered wide of the mark, the Tar Heels took the lead for good when Stan kavage hit Mark Smith with a 25-yard scoring strike. Carolina caught the Deacons in a blitz, and Smith got behind everyone to gather in the Stankavage pass. That score was set up by a Schofield fumble that was re covered at the Wake Forest 24-yard line by Tar Heel defensive back Willie Harris. ; . A fourth quarter Barwick field goal put the Tar Heels ahead 17-7, but Wake was not about to roll over and play dead. The Deacons drove the ball 77 yards to the Tar Heel three and. were knocking at the door in an attempt to re-enter the contest, but a delay-of-game penalty and an incomplete pass forced them to go for the field goal. That attempt was foiled by the outstretched hand of another local product, Kernersville native Walter Black, who partially blocked Phil Denf eld's kick, ending the threat.' . . The Tar Heels took over and drove 80 yards for an insurance touchdown, culminating in a 14-yard Stankavage to Smith pass, Stankavage finished the game ll-of-19 for 113 yards and two touchdowns. - -?) a h - ... :4 v.N , ' . x ? ; It - t s - - " Y V -;V i V , 'i' I ff' v NlV v J " " " " " S f s " I v ..

Wake quarterback unintimidated by UNO defense UNO tailback Tyrone Anthony weaves through Wake tacklers ... he led the backfield with 179 yards in 24 carries ' SeiiQ By FRANK KENNEDY Staff Writer You're a quarterback who's worth over 200 yards a game through the air, but now you're facing the top-ranked defense in the country. On paper, you're not expected to have a good game maybe 100 yards at the most. And, to top it all off, you go into the big game and miss the mark on your first four passes. Now, this could be cause for concern, especially if your name is Gary Schofield and you're known for having thrown more tr4&i500 yards in a single game. But Schofield did not go running scared after those early miscues in Saturday's game against UNC. That's not surprising, considering that Schofield felt neither fear nor intimidation when he took the field before 36,200 fans at Groves Stadium. . "I really get excited about playing the big teams, especially Carolina," Schofield said. "That's what it's all about playing the best teams in the country and having fun at it. I'm a very competitive person, so I wasn't the least bit nervous out there," he said. So explaining how he completed only seven of 24 first-half attempts for a mere 76 yards was not easy. "For one thing, I just'wasn't hitting my receivers on the fade-out," he said. In fact, it wasn't until Schofield hit receiver Tim Ryan for a 15-yard shot in the final two minutes of the opening period that the Paoli, Pa., native even resembled his usual self. What had taken place up to that moment simple wasn't vintage Schofield. But in all fairness to the Wake junior, no previous quarterback (not even Pitt's Danny Marino) has done any better in '82 against the Tar Heels' highly-rated pass rush. "They (UNQ cut down on our ability to throw the long pass, and that's to their credit," he said. "I didn't have the opportunity for anything but short passes because they were always in my face." One important such instance, during the second period with the Deacons at mid field . and driving, proved especially frustrating to Schofield' s game plan. First, he dropped back and threw a pass over the middle, only to have tackle Brian Johnston get a hand in the way. On the very next play it was linebacker Aaron Jackson who got up a few fingers. "And those were sure completions," said a frustrated Schofield. "The passes were there, but they (Carolina) kept get ting in the way." But when all was said and done, it was missed opportunities that cost Wake Forest a chance at the upset. For this, Schofield took full responsibility. "I made some really poor throws when we were down close," he said, paying par ticular attention to the golden opportunity that was squandered after Kelvin Bryant fumbled at the Carolina seven.

First, there's the matter of aging ap paratus. Sailboats, like automobiles, change in design as the years go by. And, since speed is the name of the game in sailing, the more up-to-date designs stand the better chance at win ning. "We do need new boats," club ; treasurer - Jonathan Phillips- said.- "In 4 order to do well, your boats must do well' ' Phillips explained that sailing is not an NCAA sport, so money is not chan neled in through the university, as it is in the case of varsity sports. Even the budget of the Sports Club Council, of which the sailing club is a member, is somewhat limited and must be spread among 25 other clubs as well. "Hopefully, some of the alumni will help," he said. Club president Ann Stokes noted that several universities put a great deal of money into their sailing programs. "Old Dominion, for example, won the women's nationals last year. Sailing is very big there," she said. "Some of the more advanced clubs hold many regattas each month," Phillips said. While the UNC club has increased its number of fall races, that total falls short of the national powers. It will also take money to help the club find a permanent home for its boats. "Our main goal is to get a place on Lake Jordan," Phillips said. "We want to buy a small piece of land and build a shed to keep the boats in." In the meantime, however, sailing will resume on University Lake, where the dubrpractices almost everyrafter?J noon. ' ' - - Financial pressures have hit the club in yet another important "area: recruit ment: Phillips said that since the sport is not governed by the NCAA, there are no scholarships to attract top talent. "The Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Association governs the sports, and it's a very old organization," he said. "They're not very strong." But the club does appear to be meeting these challenges and is making progress. In recent regattas, signs of a power-to-be have emerged. At Christopher Newport two weeks ago, the club placed third out of eight competitors, including a first-piace finish in the A division (there is also a B division). An identical finish was recorded a week earlier in a regatta at Davidson. "We've been middle-of-the-road the last few years, but we're becoming competitive now," Stokes said. Phillips said that one goal of the club is to make the monthly Top 20 put out by the IYRA. "The New England clubs tend to dominate it, but we're hopeful," he said. A rieorous fall schedule continued over FallS Brcix as : the meJiieaUtj "traveled to Oid 'l)6rniriion while the women's squad competed at Yale. Oh Oct. 24 and 25 it's off W Charleston, S.C., for the champion ship of the South Atlantic Inter collegiate Sailing Association. Phillips said he hopes they can then qualify for the Atlantic Coast championships to be held Nov. 13-14. . Phillips said that the club is com posed primarily of freshmen. "Hopefully, they will bring the dub up with experience," he said. Stokes, the A division skipper, took first place at Davidson. Phillips calls her "the center of the team." e Honor Code violation? Officials crack down on ID misuse DTHJetf Neuville UflC's Walter Dlsck attempts to block a Schofield pass ... defensive pressure kept the Wake quarterback in check of Schofield's caliber. After I struggling" through that rugged first half, he found a touch of consistency, especially in the final 15 minutes. . "They (Carolina) played real right coverage early on, but I think they loosen ed up after the third quarter. We made a lot of those big plays with their defense in a straight zone," he said. "And we didn't make any adjustments, we just called more pass plays. But outside of that one long drive (a 72-yarder midway through the fourth), we were in and out in three plays most of the time; and frankly, that makes it hard to do anything." But, in spite of the final score, Schofield wasn't as disappointed about the whole af fair as some of his teammates appeared to be. "We knew how good they were coming in," he said. . "As for myself, I'm not down on my performance. I gave it my best shot. ' "Actually, I think I played a better mental game this year (as opposed to last season's 48-10 loss in Chapel Hill). I didn't make the big plays, but I didn't make any big mistakes," he said. "Win or lose, I think our play over the last two weeks proves how good we can be as a unit. As long as Ave don't go in with negative thoughts, we can compete with the good teams on the rest of our schedule," he said. As for Schofield, he mastered the art of positive thinking long ago. NOTES: Schofield's 156-yard game total easily surpassed the 117.8 average the UNC defense had allotted in previous contests, but it was well below his personal average of 212 yards per game. . .Schofield must prefer hitting receiver Tim Ryan in the clutch. Ryan's five receptions totalled 78 yards, half of Schofield's total... . The UNC Athletic Association ticket office is beginning to watch more closely for misuse of student identification in volved with the purchase and use of tickets to athletic events, specifically foot ball games, Carolina Athletic Association president Perry Morrison said. "I think it's regrettable that before the season began I didn't know that there was going to be a crackdown," Morrison said: "It's my job to let the students know." Beginning with the Army, game, Mor rison said, stadium ushers who en countered fans presenting false identifica tion in order to enter the stadium had their identification confiscated and turned over to Athletic Association ticket manager Jean Keller. Morrison received the ID's from Keller, and then passed them on to Student Attorney General Bill Kimball, who is currently in the process of deter mining whether or not such an action is in violation of student conduct and the Honor Code. ' "The possible charge would be fraudulent use of University ID cards," Kimball said. "The students do need to realize that they could run into difficulty with this. I'm just not sure what those dif ficulties are yet." Kimball still wants to talk to some peo ple in the ticket office and University Of ficials in Steele Building before reaching a decision. He is still not sure if the problem entails usual procedures for violation of student conduct, or reprimand similar to that for lesser offenses, such as parking violations, he said. "It's nothing new," Keller said. "It's ! been something we've tried to enforce all the years I've been here." The big dif ference is that Morrison is alerting the students about the matter, Keller said. "It's kind of a crime if they (the students) don't even understand it's a violation and then go in there and get caught," Morrison said. MICHAEL DESIST! ' .4" Perry Morrison . .

"Last year more than $1,500 was raised for the Campus Y's program fund and 369 runners participated. "The advance publicity is needed," Gourley said. "We -want people to get in shape now so that they won't have any excuses come race time. So let's get out there and ran in Foot falls '82!" ; JOHNPIETRI Cecil Cooper's two-run, two-out single in the seventh inning lifted the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-3 win over the California Angels Sunday in the fifth and deciding game of the American League Championship Series in Milwaukee's County Stadium. The victory earned Milwaukee a berth in its first World Series in team history. In winning the pennant, Milwaukee became the first American League team to win a playoff series after losing the first two games. . The Brewers trailed 3-2 going into the seventh inning against losing reliever Luis Sanchez. With one out, Charlie Moore's in field pop-up fell in front of a diving Bobby Grich. Jim Gantner followed with a single up the middle. After Paul Molitor fouled out, Robin Yount walked to load the bases. Cooper then lined a single to left field, scoring Moore and Gantner. California made two threats to score in the final innings. In the 8th, Don Baylor's line drive to the fence was caught by a leaping Marshall Edwards for the second out of the inning. After a hit by Doug DeCinces, Grich flied out to end the inning. Ron Jackson singled off winning Brewer reliever Bob Mc Clure to start the Angel 9th. Milwaukee manager Harvey Kuenn lifted McClure in favor of Peter Ladd, who saved Milwaukee's first win of the playoff series in Game 3. Ladd, who earned his second save, forced Brian Downing and Rod Carew to ground -out to end the game. California broke a 1-1 tie with a run in the third inning. With Bob Boone at second base, playoff Most Valuable Player Fred Lynn singled to left. Boone scored when Brewer left fielder Ben Oglivie overran the ball. The Angels added a run in the fourth inning, DeCinces led off with a double down the left field line and was sacrificed to third by Tim Foli. Boone bunted to score DeCinces and give Califor nia a 3-1 lead. v Milwaukee got a run back in the bottom of the fourth inning. Oglivie belted a Bruce Kison pitch into the right field stands to pull the Brewers closer at 3-2. . California failed to capitalize on golden opporunities in the early innings. The Angels got nine hits off Milwaukee starter Pete Vuckovich in the first five innings. The Brewers also com mitted four errors in those innings. ' The Angels were foiled on a chance in the fifth inning, thanks to a superb throw from Milwaukee outfielder Moore. Reggie Jackson was at first after a walk. Lynn singled to right field and Jackson tried to get to third on the play. But an accurate throw from Moore to third baseman Paul Molitor pegged the sliding Jackson. Baylor followed with' a base hit, but DeCinces struck out to end the inning. EDDIE WGOTEN
