Editor Michigan-Ohio State, USC-UCLA, Pitt-Penn State... and add to the list of the nation's top rivalries, N.C. State UNC. The Atlantic Coast Conference's dynamc duo will meet once again Satur day in Kenan Stadium, and State coach Monte Kiffin said the Wolfpack won't have a difficult time preparing for the game. "This is the kind of game which isn't very hard to coach," Kiffin said. "You don't have to worry about the players' getting up. The danger is getting them too high." State currently is 2-1 in the ACC and 4-1 overall. With an open date last week, the Pack had an extra week for injured performers to heal and to prepare for the Tar Heels. Joe Mcintosh is among those return ing. The sophomore tailback suffered a pair of hip pointers earlier in the season, but should be at full speed Saturday. Mcintosh leads the team in rushing with 398 yards on 92 carriers for a 4.3 average per carry. "I haven't had a snap in two weeks," Mcintosh said. "I'm going to be breathing hard this week. Fencing Awareness Week fencers have Ey JOHN PETRI Staff Writer "Fencing is the only varsity sport on campus that recruits heavily from the stu dent body," said coach Ron Miller. And that's an understatement. Eighty percent of this year's team and 60 percent of the starters were recruited from P.E. classes. "It is extremely satisfying for a coach to take a beginning fencer and mold him into a star in only a couple of years," Miller said. '"We recruir athletes instead of fencers, and make athletes into fencers." Miller played five other sports himself: football, baseball, track, wrestling and basketball. Miller began fencing when he was 16, and started a club at Eastern Ken tucky University. He came to UNC in 1967 121 E.

But no one said it was going to get easier." Mcintosh combined with quarterback Tol Avery to help build a 10-0 State lead at halftime in last year's confrontation. UNC came back to win the game 21-10, aided by a fumble, a blocked punt and State's failure to execute an onside kick to open the second half. . Avery had his best college game in last year's matchup, completing 20 passes for 204 yards. This season, the senior quarterback has 772 yards passing through five games. But he also has 1 12 yards rushing. '" "Tol's played we'J for us," Kiffin said. "He's played better some days than others, but he's been making good deci sions." Avery's favorite receiver has been sophomore split end Ricky Wall. Wall has gained 294 yards on IS receptions and has scored four touchdowns. While the offensive backfield has much game experience, the Wolfpack only has two seniors starting on its offensive and defensive front lines. Kiffin will go with inexperienced players on the left side of the offensive line due to injuries to guard Doug Howard and tackle Ernest Butler, -two starters who will miss, Saturday's game. and took the position of fencing coach. His fencing club had an 8-1 record, and because of its success, fencing at Carolina ' ' attained varsity status in 1967. There were only 14 men on the team then, but by the end of this season, there will be 35 men and 20 women on the team. Since the first season, the men's team has won 150 dual meets and lost only 35. But three years ago, the fencing team was dealt a severe blow. The ACC decided to drop fencing, along with indoor track, " as a sport counting toward the Carmichael Cup. Therefore, Maryland and Clemson, two of the best teams in the nation, have curtailed their programs. Now there is really no chance to have fencing reinstated for Carmichael Cup status.

' ; The strength of the defense for the Wolfpack lies in its secondary, with Eric Williams, who led the ACC last year in UNC was ninth. The women's team placed fourth. "Our program is still strong," Miller said. "We have had no financial cutbacks. Our athletic situation has been supported because of its past and because of its u niqueness." The program has . had no new ; full scholarship assistance since it was dropped as an ACC sport. "But we hold no grudges that's just life," Miller said. " ? This optimistic attitude is typical of the UNC fencing team; r ' - "I've really learned a lot on the team," senior Bob Largman said. "The team is great and we're close and do a lot of things together." "We all help each other out, which is the basic philosophy of the team," said team captain senior Shawne , Grabs. "Coach Miller can teach anyone with athletic ability how to fence.". But team members admit it is difficult to be enthusiastic all the time since they receive little recognition. " We can't even afford team warmups," Largman said, "which is very important for team unity at away fencing competi tions."

"We have the No. 2 fencer in the nation last year, John Friedberg, and nobody on campus seemed to know anything about it." Friedberg, who was second in the NCAA sabre competition last year and 16th in the adult nationals last summer, has been fencing for seven years, and hopes to pursue fencing after college. "People are apprehensive about fencing because they know nothing about it," Friedberg said. "It is threatening to some people because they have never been' ex posed to it." v ' And exposure is exactly what Ron Miller hopes the team will receive next week. .- ' ' " Fencing is actually not that difficult to understand. There are only three weapons used in competition foil, ( sabre 'and epee. Women, however, are only allowed to use the foil on the collegiate level. The foil is a point-thrusting weapon where the torso is the only valid part of the body that can be touched for a point. It is lightweight and bends more eaisly than the other weapons. The epee is a much heavier sword and 4-7 times stiff er. It can inflict more damage and the entire body is the target. The sabre is very heavy, and has a UNA i5innrii;M TEQUILA JAUSCO S.A. ST. LOUIS.

Because the entire team could qualify for the nationals this year, UNC has a bet ter chance tharj ever for a shot at the NCAA championship. This favors UNC which has considerable depth and balance.

The Tar Heels rebounded from a disap pointing performance this past weekend with a 3-0 win over the host Crusaders, moving to 9-1-3 on the year. Midfielder Bucky Buckley scored the first goal of his UNC career, the game winner, midway through the first half. Left back Jay Ainslie added another with 28 minutes left in the game off a corner kick by freshman Chris Connolly. For ward Mike Reid knocked one in after a scramble in the goalmouth for the third goal, 13 minutes later. "We weren't interested in running up the score," UNC head coach Anson Dor ranee said. "We were trying to get our morale back, and the Belmont game was a good release." ' After " tying Farleigh Dickinson and losing their first game of the year to Old Dominion in the ODU Kiwanis Classic last weekend in Norfolk, Va., the Tar Heels were in need of a boost before they left for Florida last night. UNC faces perhaps its toughest two days of the season on Saturday and Sun day in Tampa, where they will meet the No. 6 team in the South, South Florida, and the nation's top-ranked Division II squad, Tampa. "We've at least got to split down there to entertain (NCAA) bid hopes," Dor rance said. UNC holds the No. 18 spot in the latest rankings by the Intercollegiate Soccer Association of America. Both Florida teams were undefeated as of Oct. 3, with USF 7-0-0 and Tampa 8-GO. Add to that the fact that the Tar Heels will make the trip without the scoring prowess of freshman striker Mark Devey, out three to four weeks after ar throscopic surgery on his left knee last Friday, and you've got a challenge. The UNC women's soccer team travels to Orlando, Fla. , this weekend to compete in the second of TTye major tournaments on the Carolina schedule this year, the Central Florida Invitational. The tournament field will include several of the top teams in the nation, with three of last year's national cham pionship tournament entries present UNC, Central Florida and Missouri-St. Louis. Courtland State, an impressive young team, also will compete. Also in the field are George Washington, Duke and Texas. . The Tar Heels have been impressive thus far, compiling a 9-0 record and out- 1 crainft tlipir nnnAnpntc ti a M.l maroin including five shutouts and the tourney ' crown in the Rael Vodicka Memorial Tournament last weekend. The Carolina bench has been revita lized with the return of freshman Suzie Stollmeyer and sophomore Kathy Kelly after each suffered early-season injuries. Kelly had been out with an ankle injury, and Stollmeyer was sidelined with an in jured knee. UNC soccer coach Anson Dorrance called Stollmeyer the "top high school player from the class of 1982," and Kelly was instrumental as a reserve in the Tar Heels' drive to the national title last season. These two players will add depth to the Carolina bench, which pre viously was short in numbers, but not in talent. MIKE DESISTI and MICHAEL PERSINGER 5? It: i?
