The Daily Tar HeelTuesday, December 3, 19859 Oil Mlfii U ) woibsil picks of the weel SnDiniinrBDS:iQ:Q) SR3)D&sIhi' SirDttd):'ai(cftndifD The UNC men and women's swim ming teams are set to open their seasons this week while many of the rest of us are preparing for finals. The women's team will be gunning for its sixth consecutive ACC title this spring after winning the closest ACC meet ever last year over Virginia and' Clemson. It opens at N.C. State at 7 tonight. The team will also be looking to extend a string of high national finishes. Last season's 12th-place final ranking was the first time in 10 years UNC had finished out of the top 10. UNC is led by a pair of Ail Americans, senior captains Polly Winde and Sarah Durstein. Winde is a three time All-American and Durstein a two timer. The team also returns four one time All-America selections in Jeanne Gerhart, Martha McCann, Melanie Buddemeyer and Susan O'Brien. Fresh men Patty Schultz and Kim Beattie will also aid the team in its quest for a sixth consecutive title. On the men's side, UNC will hope to improve from last season's third place finish. Senior co-captains Chris It 4- i 4. Polly Winde Stevenson and Randy Hyre will anchor the team, which will feature a trio of newcomers and one senior in the spring freestyle. Senior Dirk Marshall is back from a shoulder injury and will be helped out in the sprints by newcomers Chris Stevenson Larry Bloch, Daryll Johnston and Marc Croggon. The distance freestyle group is led by upperclassmen Danny Hamil ton, Danny Flack and Clay Wellborn. The men also open at N.C. State, at 7 p.m. Wednesday. WiBB someomie dehmt the "Frigf By SCOTT FOWLER Assistant Sports Editor Can we talk for a minute about the William Perry craze? I mean, here is a man who cannot see his own feet when standing, flosses his teeth with a rope and usually talks with the coherence of a drunk Mel Tillis. And he's a sports idol, simply because he fell forward a couple of times at fullback and snared a three-yard pass that Stevie Wonder could have caught. I remember that it was only last year when Perry would hold court after Clem son games in the locker room. While most players preferred to get dressed before being interviewed, Perry often did his interviews in the suit which he was born in, facing micro phones and bright lights with no sign of embarrassment. He's just a natural kind of guy, "I guess. More accolades pour in for the UNC field hockey team: two players were just named All-Americans. Louise Hines, a senior forward, made the team for the second time, while sophomore midfielder Judith Jonckheer is a first-timer. Hines led the team with 17 goals, while Jonckheer led the team in total points with 15 goals and eight assists and was the ACC tourney MVP. UNC also had four players on the All-South team sophomore sweeper Lori Bruney, senior goalkeeper Jan Miles, Jonckheer and Hines. Beth Logan, a senior midfielder who was also recently inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, was honorable mention on the team. Michael Jordan's new commercial with Santa is super if you haven't seen it yet, as he repeatedly faces the man in the bright red suit with a myriad of dunks. Santa and Jordan both wear Air Jordans, and at the end Jordan and Santa walk away as Michael winks. I guess Santa is the one wink ing now, since hell be the only one flying in December. Here's the way I would cast a madcap, comic version of Scrooge as performed by the UNC basketball team Warren 31 artia ,asTiny Tim, Ranzino Smith .as Bob .Crat-. . chit, Rich Yonakor as the Ghost of Christmas Past, James Daye as the Ghost of Christmas Present, Michael Norwood as the Ghost of Christmas Future, Steve Hale as Scrooge and Brad Daugherty as the woman Scrooge loved but left the far sideline because of his obsession with money. The Dallas Cowboys, picked by coach Tom Landry to finish fourth in their NFC East division, are quietly rocking along at 9-4 at the top of the heap. Look for this to be the Cowboys' or a rebounding San Francisco's year in the NFC the Bears won't be going to the Super Bowl. They've peaked too early, and although their defense is impeccable, the offense will make enough mistakes in the throwing game in one of the playoff games to lose. . Does anyone much care about the NBA games that are being played now, except for maybe the Celtics, Lakers and 76ers? WeVe found out rather quickly that Patrick Ewing is no miracle worker, so the Knicks aren't much fun. The NBA season is so long, I cant get excited about it unless I'm watching Michael J or watching the semis or finals, which I guess will be scheduled in July or so this year. If they don't watch out, the NBA is going to let itself in for a continual season, 12 months a year, with exhibitions begin ning the day after the championship game. Check out some of the favorite movies of this year's UNC basketball team as reported in that venerable publication, Carolina Basketball 85-86. Ranzino, Nightmare On Elm Street. Joe Wolf, Never Cry Wolf. That's very cute, Joe. For Brad, The Evil That Men Do, Dirty Harry. Kevin Mad den, Rambo II and the Friday the 13th movies. Michael Norwood, Apocalypse Now. Steve Bucknall, Once Upon A Time In America. Dave Popson, Rocky III. James Daye, . Commando. ... Or the less, bloodier side, we. have Jeff Lebo, On Golden Pond. Steve Hale, The Big Chill.

Stad-OB't Stores University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Date: TUES., DEC. 3 Time: 10 am-3 The cream, so they say, will rise to : the top. And "Low-Key" Lee Roberts has steadily risen to the top of the picks of the week pennant race. That's what they all say about this year's apparent champion (there are just a few bowl games to go before Lee puts the lock on this): he's smooth, he's homogenized, he's grade A. Allright, maybe they haven't really been saying that, but Roberts has forged his way to a three game lead in this prognosticating battle of pride in a way that's gotta be considered, impressive. He smugly predicted this week at his press confer ence that hell be eating caviar and sloshing down some bubbly come Jan. 2. Only time will tell. In second place as we enter the final chapter of this sordid conflict is Scott "Scoots" Fowler, the early-season leader but now just another casualty in the heartless world of football betting. Scott is determined to win this thing and will do anything in his power to do so. He was caught last week bugging his opponents' apartments, but he screwed up the wiring and ended up broadcasting his bedroom antics to half of Orange County. So it goes . Tim "the Mother" Crothers is the guy who wins the congeniality award; i.e., he's a nice guy, but he aint gonna take a walk with the crown. YouVe really got to respect Tim for his earnest effort this season, but in the end, the lions got to him. He's four games back and fading fast, as he was seen this week asking dogs in the Pit what they thought 'of Joe Paterno's squad. ItH be over soon, Tim ... Lee Tim Scot!

As Neil Young once said, tonight's the night. Of course, Neil wasnt talking about the sports desk meeting tonight at 7:00 in the sports office, but I am. So be there, or be killed. There are many important items on this evening's agenda, such as selecting the mascot for our frog-throwing team and deciding whose potato salad we're going to use for the banquet.
