Smyth fills 'big hands' in UNC soccer midfield
By KIMBALL CROSSLEY
Staff Writer
If in sports played with the hands
football, basketball and baseball the
cliche for replacing a key player is "big
shoes to fill," then the phrase in soccer
must be "big hands to 011."
At the end of last season, North
Carolina soccer head coach Anson
Dorrance was faced with the task of

23, 1984
replacing graduating team captain Jim
Poff, the squad's throw-in specialist and
biggest player.
Dorrance says he has filled those
hands, and more, with freshman mid
fielder David Smyth.
A good team needs to have a player
who can throw the ball in from the
sidelines toward the opponent's goal,
says Dorrance.
"It gives us the ability to threaten all
the time," Dorrance says. "The other
team cant afford to kick the ball out
of bounds on their own end, because
we have a player capable of throwing
the ball right into their box ... it causes
defensive tension."
Just how much of a threat Smyth's
throw-ins can be was made obvious
during an earlier game against Virginia
when his throw-in 10 yards up the
sideline from the corner flag turned into
a one-touch volley and a UNC goal.
By looking at the 6-2, 195-pound
freshman, who with his blond hair and
moustache resembles movie tough-guy
Nick Nolte, it's easy to tell that Smyth
wasn't recruited just to throw the ball

in.
In fact, the Long Island, N.Y., native
and U.S. Junior National Team
member was one of the five or six most
heavily recruited prep players in the
country, Dorrance says, adding that
Smyth's size was a factor.
"It was a consideration, because in
our league size is becoming increasingly
important," Dorrance says.
Though easy to stereotype him as a
defensive or physical player because of
his size, Smyth thinks of himself as a
distributing player and an offensive
threat, both of which are supported by
statistics which have him tied for second
in scoring with three goals and five
assists.
"I think everyone has recognized me
as a player who can distribute the ball,"
Smyth says. "I don't really think I'm
that much of a physical player . . .
sometimes I think I should use my size
more than I do, but that will come."
Dorrance agrees with Smyth in
regard to the defensive midfielder's
offensive ability, saying that Smyth has
the talent to finish opportunities, shoot,

serve the ball, take on players and use
his size in the air on headballs. However,
Dorrance still sees room for
improvement.
"I think he can improve his quickness
20 percent," Dorrance says.
But Dorrance says Smyth's ultimate
strength is his leadership potential. He
recalls a time earlier in the season, when
things weren't going very well for the
team.
"(Smyth) was congratulating players,
keeping faith, not pointing fingers . . .
thinking about what he can do himself,"
Dorrance says. "Now, that's a leader."
Smyth never actually took over Poff s
stopper position, where the ability to
win headballs is considered vital, but
he has frequently marked the opposi
tion's biggest player while playing in the
midfield.
Senior midfielder Billy Hartman also
credits Smyth with being a stabilizing
influence in the UNC midfield. "We've
had trouble settling things down in our
midfield," Hartman says. "Smyth's a
composed player with the ball, and
that's really helped."

Maye: What's the scoop?
A side dish of leftovers from the
UNC-N.C. State football game:
The on-field presence of quarterback
Mark Maye Saturday raised a number
of questions about the status of the
redshirt freshman, the most notable of
which: What's going on with this guy?
Maye, who has suffered from a "sore
shoulder" that's how it's officially
described started Saturday's game,
and played almost all of the first half,
but never threw a pass.
Frank Kennedy
. "i " -i
Two things to note here: the game
plan called for all runs while Maye was
in there. The shoulder was still acting
up and coach Dick Crum said he didrv't
want to take any chances. After the
game, a weary Crum looked at one
reporter who had asked, "How far can
Maye throw the ball right now?" arid
he said, "From me to you," a distance
of about 15 feet.
Crum's primary purpose in entering
Maye was two-fold: to give him more
game experience, and to take the
pressure of starting off sophomore
Kevin Anthony, who struggled against
Clemson and Wake Forest.
Maye later said he was excited to have
gotten the opportunity to play, and
almost decided to throw the ball on one
option play, but he couldn't explain, in
specific terms, just what is wrong.
That's the rub. No one really seems
to know. Crum said the team doctors
have a name for it, but Crum wouldn't
explain it to the press because he said
he didn't really understand it himself.
In the meantime, there is no telling when
Maye's shoulder will be at full health
again, and the Tar Heels could be in
a real bind.
Consider: UNC did move the ball well
against the Wolfpack, but who's to say
the Wolfpack is such a powerhouse?

When you come right down to it, the
Tar Heels are probably the better team.
Next up is Memphis State, at 5-1-1 a
team that is on a roll, and a team that
tied Florida State just two weeks ago!
If Maye starts, but cannot pass, will
the Tar Heels be able to run all over
Memphis like they did against State?
And if they can't, how far behind might
they get before Anthony is brought back
into the game? And what if Anthony
continues to struggle through the air?
No doubt about it, the Tar Heels
could be in a real bind. Crum said
' Saturday that when Maye gets healthy,
"He 11 be something else."
That may be true, but right now he's
iriot healthy, and UNC cannot and will
not win football games against its tough
upcoming schedule without going to the
air. Unless Maye turns the corner in
the next four days, he should spend
most, if not all, of Saturday evening
on the bench.
Notable changes in the Tar Heel lineup:
Brian Johnston, who was moved to
center from his defensive tackle spot last
week, will remain at center until further
notice. That from offensive coordinator
John Matsko. Meanwhile, Dennis
Barron is taking Johnston's old spot,
and Harris Barton, a pre-season All
ACC at center, has moved to left tackle,
where Pat Sheehan went down with an
injury against Wake Forest. Barton and
reserve tackle Bill Viggers will be
competing for that role.
The NFL's doghouse gang isn't
getting any larger, just much more
outrageous.
Highlight of the week: In a deadly
battle for entry into the doghouse gang,
Minnesota led. Detroit (both then 2-5)
by 14-0 at the half. But the Vikings,
always guaranteed to show you a couple
of quarters of sheer stupidity, lost 16
14 after Detroit scored four times in
the second half.
