A lot of good things came out of
Saturdays 5 1 -7 football win over
VMI. Unfortunately, none of those
good things were going on in the
Kenan Stadium stands.
While the football team was having
a great game in every sense of the
word, a few fans in Section 1 7 were
not.
The idiots in question proudly dis
played their lack of gray matter during
the hatftime card section show, a
weekly feature at UNC home games
and a perennial attraction for those
who like to showcase their stupidity
and insenshivity.
After the last card stunt the tradi
tional Go To Hell State" one was
completed, some of these card-bearers
pulled a stunt of their own.
They flung the colored laminated
plastic cards in the air, watching them
careen down and knock the heads of
the people below them.
The only problem with this (aside
from the fact that everyone was kindly
asked not to throw the cards) is that
those cards are heavy, and when you
wing one of them it can really hurt
whoever is unfortunate enough to be
in its path.'
I saw a girl who couldn't have been
more than 10 years old get clocked
with one of those things in the side of
the neck.
What's the rationale for the idiots
that seem to get a thrill out of watch
ing these cards fly through the air?
Heck, Biff, let's go out to the stadium,
drink some George Dickel, and watch
little girls bleed from the ear.
If these people get such deep inner

Throughout collegiate sports history,
the most successful and memorable
teams have been those with a strong
core of senior leadership. Last April,
Villanova's stunning NCAA basketball
championship upset of powerful Geor
getown provided a perfect illustration
of the force of "senior power".
For Villanova, it was Ed Pinckney,
Gary McLain and Dwayne McClain
who supplied the senior spark. For
UNC coach Karen Shelton's third
ranked women's field hockey team, it's
Louise Hines, Beth Logan and Jan
Miles who hope to carry North Carolina
to a-national title.
As UNC, which sports a 5-1 record,
prepares for Sunday's l p.m. home
rematch with top-ranked and 8-0 Old
Dominion, a profile of Shelton's group
of upset-minded seniors is in order.
Each of these three upperclassmen
: contribute to the team's success in
distinct, yet interwoven roles.
Well begin with high-scoring co
captain Louise Hines. Firmly
entrenched as UNC's second-leading
career scorer with 59 goals (22 behind
leader Bashi Buba, a 1979 graduate),
the 5-6 forward from Westport, Ct. is
a good bet to duplicate last season's All
America selection in 1985.

As the National Football League
season moves into its second quatrain,
an "unbiased" evaluation of the present
state of the NFL seems appropriate. If
you don't agree, too bad; because I have
a few points to make.
It sure seems as though commissioner
Pete Rozelle has finally realized his
longtime dream of league-wide parity.

Hines' value to the team goes' far
beyond mere shots and goals. Termed
a "natural leader" by Shelton, she has
a - special knack for providing that
much-needed lift for her teammates at
just the right time. This penchant for
sparking the Tar Heels has already been
evidenced this season in home victories
over Penn State and Virginia
Commonwealth.
Hines' capacity for field generalship
is enhanced by her outstanding ability
and hard-working attitude. "Louise has
world-class ability," Shelton pointed
out. "But she has expanded her knowl
edge of the game and it has made her
a much better all-around player."
Joining Hines as; a co-captain is
midfielder Beth Logan. The 5-5 native
of Tuckerton, N.J., possesses an impres
sive combination of offensive and
: defensive skills, justifying her role as the
Tar Heels' sweeper. V
"Beth has really come into her own
as a player," Shelton' said. "She has
emerged as a team leader."
Although, as Shelton asserted, Logan
is an "unsung hero" due to her lack of
eye-popping statistics, her importance
to the Tar, Heels' fortunes is great. In
accordance with her reputation as a
hard worker, Logan fought off a pre
season foot stress fracture; thus keeping
her consecutive games started streak in
Slowly, but surely, mediocrity has
spread throughout the NFL; sparing
few v and spearing many. The most
sobering fact of all is this: after just four
weeks of play, 26 of the 28 teams have
already been proven to be ordinary.
Once the Greatest Show on Earth,
Rozelle's NFL has degenerated into
"Pete's Potpourri of Parity". If you
don't believe me, just take a look at
the facts.
After last season's performance in
which the San Francisco 49ers rolled
to an 18-1 record and their second world
championship in four years, coach Bill
Walsh was tagged a genius and his
squad tagged unbeatable. Oh, how the
mighty have fallen!
1985 has seen the Niners stumble to
a 2-2 start, with losses against the
mediocre Minnesota Vikings and New
Orleans Saints. Either Bill Walsh got
awful dumb, awful quick; or the pale
cast of parity has overtaken the NFL.
I am compelled to opt for the latter
theory.

tact and inspiring her teammates.
Shelton especially likes the current
co-captain situation insofar as the Tar
Heels have an appointed leader at both
the offensive and defensive ends of the
field. With Hines and Logan filling the
roles of co-captains, UNC certainly is
in good hands.
Home crowds and opponents alike
have been impressed with the often
dazzling play of North Carolina goal
keeper Jan Miles. The 5-2 art major
from Salisbury, Md. has fashioned
destructor. Don't look now, but our
burgundy and gold clad heroes are 1
3 and threatening to give back all those
wins they stockpiled over the past three
years. Rumor has it theyH soon change
their nickname to the Deadskins.
The perennially hated, and respected,
L. A. Raiders aren't even good enough
this year to waste hatred on. With Jim
Plunkett and his faithful sidekick Marc
Wilson both nursing injuries, the task
of quarterbacking the silver and black
has fallen to Oklahoma State grad
Rusty Hilger. How can anyone hate a
guy with the same name as the neigh
bor's dog? The 2-2 Raiders are, simply
put, boring.
Finally, and most painfully for this
writer, we must turn our attention to
Don Shula's defending AFC champion
Miami Dolphins. Forget the 3-1 record,
it's a fraud. The heretofore awesome
Dolphins lost to Houston; the team with
the powder-blue uniforms and anemic
offense.
The world of professional football
hasn't seen a trio who could ignite
excitement like Dan Marino, Mark

numerous masterpieces of her own on
the hockey field throughout her four
years as the Tar Heels' starting Tceeper.
While the thoughts of lesser players
would sometimes wander in the course
of a 70 minute contest, Miles prides
herself on concentration. "Jan has a
great ability to concentrate," Shelton
said. "The mental aspect of goalkeeping
is very important."
Now this group of senior Tar Heels
turns their attention toward Old Domin
ion, which brings a 40-game win streak
into Sunday's contest, and reversing a
disturbing trend of Monarch domina
tion. Since winning the first two
meetings between the schools, UNC has
gone 0-for-the-eighties. In fact, the Tar
Heels have been unable to score so
much as one goal against ODU in their
last five meetings.
Nonetheless, hope springs eternal in
North Carolina." We know we're just as
good as they are," Shelton said. "Now
it's just a matter of proving it."
Having dropped a 2-0 decision in
Norfolk, Va., earlier this season, the Tar
Heels undoubtedly will be hungry for
a win. With Hines, Logan and Miles
leading the way, North Carolina hopes
to duplicate Villanova's hardwood feat
with an upset victory of their own on
the Astroturf of Chapel Hill this
Sunday.
Duper and Mark Clayton since some
dudes named Bradshaw, Swann and
Stallworth teamed up in Pittsburgh to
the tune of four world championships
in six seasons. Duper and Clayton are
both sidelined with injuries.
All of these factors have combined
to leave a definite impact on a football
institution: television. As Parity tightens
its evil grip on the outcome of NFL
games, some fans have lost interest.
Television ratings for NFL games
have taken a pounding over the past
several years. 1 Possibly, this drop is
attributable to the fact that there are
no longer any true upsets in the NFL,
only semi-unexpected outcomes.
Because of parity, heated rivalries like
those of the mid-seventies (Steelers
Cowboys, Steelers-Raiders, Steelers
anybody) are slow to develop. The NFL
desperately needs a team to step from
the faceless pool of mediocre organi
zations, to assume the role of power
house, and to bring genuine excitement
back to pro football.
