North Carolina football coach Dick
Crum downplayed the penalty that led
to North Carolina's opening-game
victory over Navy and said UNC has .
a great chance to win Saturday's home
opener against No. 10 LSU.
Speaking at his weekly press confer
ence at Slug's, Crum said he thought
there were two Navy linemen in the end
zone by the time quarterback Bill Byrne
had released the ball, "they had that
same penalty called earlier in the game,
just at not such a crucial time," Crum
said.
For the ineligible receiver downfield
penalty to be called, a lineman must
be three yards beyond the line of
scrimmage. Navy's two-point conver
sion try came from the three-yard line.
Byrne sprinted out to his right and held
the ball for several seconds before
throwing for an apparent conversion.
"It was an easy call for the referees
to make because the end zone was navy
blue and as soon as a lineman stepped
into it he's ineligible," Crum said.
"WeVe had that called on us before.
The linemen tend to hang around for
awhile and then drift downfield, espe
cially if they think the ball has already
been released."
Crum was liberal in dishing out praise
for Saturday's performances, but was
especially complimentary of the defen
sive effort. "The defense is probably
moving as well as we've ever moved,"
he said. "With the interceptions and
tips, wc probably got our hands on more
balls than we did all of last year.
"Larry Griffin (who was named ACC
defensive back of the week) had a super

interception that saved a touchdown,
and Carl Carr played a great game (in
on 24 tackles, one interception)."
Offensively, Crum said he wasn't
surprised. "We had some typical first
game errors, some balls dropped in the
end zone, but we also made some good
plays," he said.
Crum said Saturday's game would be
a challenge for the Tar Heels, who will
face one of the nation's top backfields
in LSU's Jeff Wickersham, Dalton
Hilliard and Garry James. "This kind
of ballgamc will help us get better," he
said, "when you play good competition
you tend to improve."
Crum refused to concede anything as
far as the game's outcome. "I think
weVe got a great chance to win it," he
said. "Either way it will make us a better
football team."
Most of the team would probably
agree that they will be a bit better
football team if they win. -
F. hockey cancelled
The women's field hockey game
scheduled for tonight at 7:00 against
High Point College on the Astroturf
Field has been cancelled, the UNC
Sports Information Department
announced Tuesday.
Evidently, the High Point team had
too many injuries to field a team, so
the UNC team will have an intrasquad
practice.
It was also announced that the
women's soccer games Saturday against
Brevard and Emory have been cancelled
as well.

And living with a long distance company

may not give you all the services youVe used to

"He played a great football game,"
Dick Crum said of Carl Carr's perfor
mance in North Carolina's .2 1-1 9 victory
last Saturday at Navy.
Carr, the senior linebacker from
Alexandria, Va., did indeed spearhead
a strong North Carolina defensive effort
against the Midshipmen' and for his
hard work, he has been awarded the
coveted Athlete of the Week.
Carr led the Tar Heel defense with
an imposing 24 tackles 4 unassisted
and 20 assisted and also stifled a
Navy drive with an interception. Carr
broke up a pass as well.
We witnessed plenty of other out
standing performances this week,
including Jo Boobas and Marcia
McDermott scoring three goals each in
two women's soccer matches and Claire
Dougherty and Louise Hines registering
two goals each in field hockey. But
we would be remiss if we were not to
award this week's honorable mention
to Mark Miller. Who is Mark Miller,
you ask? Miller is Navy's offensive right
guard, who wandered a little too far

When last year began, the men's
soccer team was looking forward to the
season ahead with anticipation. An
NCAA bid did not seem out of reach.
But any dreams the Tar Heels might
have had for tournament glory were
quickly dispelled by a heartbreaking 3
5 start. Included in those five defeats
was a disappointing loss to small
Atlantic Christian, a loss which came
on, of all things, a free kick.
This year, the season has begun
differently for UNC. The Tar Heels
firing out of the gates in their first three
matches. They crushed Southern Indi
ana 5-0 and followed that up with a
3-1 victory over Furman and a 4-1
devastation of Erskine. They are 3-0 and
have outscored their opponents 12-2.
And so today, when at 3:00 p.m. on
Fetzer Field the men once more face
off against Atlantic Christian, the stakes
will be much higher. It goes without
saying that victory will be similarly
much sweeter.
Last year's loss still gnaws at the
team's memory. "Losing to them was
a big disappointment," assistant coach
John Richards said. "We were definitely
better than them and they won it on
a free kick which our goalkeeper just
missed." Revenge will be a big moti
vator for UNC and should take care
of any ideas of looking ahead to
Sunday's match with Clemson.
But more than just revenge will be
motivating the Tar Heels when they step
on to the field today. Since that
horrendous start a year ago, coach
Anson Dorrance's players have been as

hot as any team in the nation. They
were 9-2-1 in their last twelve games
last season and with their 3-0 record
this year have now won 12 of their last
15. The Dorrance machine is rolling
inexorably toward Clemson, and pity
the team (read Atlantic Christian) which
stands in its way.
The Tar Heels' main offensive spark
this season has come from the duo of
sophomore striker Tommy Nicholson
and freshman midfielder Dino Meg
aloudis. Nicholson has played Phil
Esposito to Megaloudis' Bobby Orr by
scoring five goals while his partner has
three assists and has chipped in with
two goals.
Defensively, UNC has received unex
pected help in goal from freshman Brad
Davis. When the season began, Dor
rance pointed to goalkeeping as an area
of obvious concern, but Davis emerged
during practice as the choice to start,
and his scintillating play in the nets has
alleviated many of the coaching staffs
worries. Indeed, two statistics suffice to
say all that needs to be said about Davis.
His goals-against average is a infinite
simal 0.66, and the Tar Heels have yet
to fall behind in the three games he has
started.
