4The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, January 23, 1985 SPORTS UNC football players running track By DAVID McCULLOUGH Staff Writer An arrangement has been made between UNC football coach Dick Crum and track coach Don Lockerbie which they say should be mutually beneficial to track and football. The arrangement allows football players to participate in indoor track. Lockerbie says the track team is much more competitive this year with the addition of football players. "We now - have about .10 football players out for track ... and we're a lot better team," Lockerbie said. "Coach Crum and I have reached an agreement in which we believe the football team can help track and track can help the football team." Crum also said that he thought the agreement would help both programs. "I think it's going to help the track team," Crum said. "The people involved "ff with track are in skilled positions (on the football team), and they are mainly working with sprints. It will help them maintain speed during the off season. For the peo ple in the field events it helps them to maintain quickness." . It might seem strange that such a mutually beneficial arrangement has been overlooked or ignored in the past. Crum said the failure to generate a previous arrangement is due to lack of communication. "This is the first year anyone has expressed any interest in having (foot ball players). Coach Marks coordinates the whole thing," Crum said. XT I'll Crum Michael Marks, the University's athletic fitness director, recognized the track potential of several football players. "Basically, we have nine football players who have the capability of performing well in track and field," said Marks, a former track athlete. "The track team needs to utilize their talent." He was quick to point out that the athletes were not pressured into competition. "It's strictly a voluntary thing," Marks said. "They are still training several days a week (with the football team). We are doing a workout which will complement both football and track." "It's helping me become more explo sive," said Darryl Durham, a defensive back on the football squad. "The twisting and lateral movement you use in shot and discus are the same (move- Maye ment) you use on the football field. The more you use it, the better you perfect it." Tailback Brad Sullivan joined the track team with the idea of increasing his speed, but now his success" on the track has altered his thinking. "When I first joined track I just wanted to get my 40 time down," Sullivan said. "Since I qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championship, I've shifted a lot of interest to track." In making the agreement with Lock- : erbie, Crum insisted that his athletes maintain their academic work. . "The only thing I told the guys on the football team was as long as they remain sound academically, they can continue with the track," Crum said. The success of the arrangement has been evident from the first two track meets, according to Lockerbie. "We're on a roll," he said. from page 1 throwing motion to a more overhand release since high school, could have brought the problem to the surface. "(The change in motion) wasn't something that I planned," Maye said. "It just happened, and it triggered everything that happened in my arm. "I was as surprised as anybody," Maye said. "All the things (Jobe) described, and I never felt anything. When I threw, it hurt a lot, but in normal activities it didnt hurt at all." Maye said Jobe has tentatively scheduled the surgery on his shoulder for April, but added that he is anxious to get through the operation and into the 10-12 month rehabilitation process. Maye would still be eligible for the 1986 and 1987 seasons. "It seems like ever since I've been here IVe been hurt or waiting to get back to being healthy," Maye said. "I'm trying to get the surgery moved up because the sooner, the better. "I never thought it would be anything this serious," Maye said. "(The injury) really didn't cross my mind that much." Maye's injury means there will be rft) two-quarterback system at UNC next season, but it also means that the Tar Heels will lack a backup with experience. Junior Kevin Anthony, who won the starting job a year ago but felt the pressure of Maye from students and alumni, returns, and along with Wes Sweetser and Mike Bowman. Those three will likely be the leaders at quarterback next season. What does a college quarterback do with a year away from football? "That's a good question," Maye said. "I'm not sure yet. Now 111 have more time to concentrate on my classes. Ill just pray that my arm gets back to normal as soon as possible. "I'm not worried about anything but being able to throw the football. If things work out, they work out!? and if they don't, well, IU have to live with that, too." - SCOREBOARD ft vvji mi i t ifiS NORTH CAROLINA'S MOST EXCITING FILM SHOWPLACE A. 75 y ivi3 A ELLIOTT RD at E.

'TO's keep hurting Heels A quick look at Monday night's statistic sheet at the half of the UNC Jacksonville basketball game in Greens boro revealed a trend in North Carol ina's season. ' The Tar Heels were shooting a blistering 75 percent from the floor and had an almost two-to-one edge in rebounding. Yet they held a slim three point lead over a Jacksonville team that had some excellent athletes but had been struggling this season. ' Why did North Carolina hold such a slim lead when it was, statistically at least, dominating the smaller Dolphins team? The answer could be found in the ninth column of the official NCAA basketball box score, under the heading "TO," as in turnovers. UNC had 10 in the first half to only three for Jackson ville, allowing the Dolphins to stay in a game they should have been out of (the score was 26-10, UNC, before the errant Tar Heel passes began). Turnovers those traveling calls, three-second violations, careless passes. "We still drill all the time on passing," Buzz Peterson said in the locker room Monday after the Tar Heels had clipped the Dolphins, 74-68, but not before turning the ball over 17 times. "It just comes from the mind. I think it's a lack of concentration." Earlier in the year, the Taf Heels were having the same problem. In games against Wichita State, Arizona State and Hawaii Pacific, UNC averaged 23 giveaways a game. But starting with the Stetson game Jan. 3, the turnovers decreased. UNC averaged just 1 1 turnovers from the Stetson game to the Southern Meth odist game ten days ago. Since then, the Tar Heels have regressed. In the N.C. State game a week ago, UNC gave up the ball 10 times in the first half and three more times in its first five possessions of the second half. They tightened up and walloped the Wolfpack in the last 16 minutes, but ended up with 15 turnovers and had to recover from a 15-point deficit. After that. Duke's swarming defense took advantage of 17 Tar Heel givea ways with a 93-77 win. But Monday's game featured 1 7 more turnovers against a Jacksonville team Wednesday Lee Roberts that employed a reasonably packed-in, sagging zone defense. Not the kind of pressure defense that forces turnovers. "Careless" was the word going around the UNC locker room after the game. "We need to take our time and make sure of the easy passes," Steve Hale said. "There's no need to make spectacular passes." Peterson emphasized that the team was not tired. "It's just the mid-season blues," Peterson said. "You think you've got the routine down, but you've still got to concentrate." Kenny Smith seemed to have the "mid-season blues" as well. "Once you play so many games in a row, you start to remember some bad passes you've made lately and you think, 'I better not throw that pass'," Smith said. "You see (Maryland players) Bias and Gatlin and (Duke's Johnny) Dawkins every time down the court." Coach Dean Smith wasn't too con cerned about all this turnover talk, though. Smith said many of the tur novers came from lob passes to the big men underneath, and that the number of baskets outweighed the few turnovers that occured. "If we're going to use big people in our lineup, we might lose the ball a few times," Smith said. "We'll work on (the turnovers), but we're still going to throw it away." Granted, the Tar Heels aren't giving up enough turnovers to warrant calling out the National Guard: they are only giving the ball up about one more time per game this season than they did last year. But they are forcing two less turnovers a game this year than they did last year, and they have less natural talent to overcome the problem this season. When North Carolina is executing with its passes, it is one of the better teams in the country. When it is not, it beats Jacksonville by six points. ft & GARRETT SQUARE APARTMENTS 4216 GARRETT RD.
