Cram's Tanr Heels Suave talent
and experience to wm this-f all
By EDDY LANDRETH
Sports Editor
The 1986 season brings with it
great expectations for the UNC
football team.
The past two years has been a
painful learning experience for the
squad. Playing with many talented,
but inexperienced young athletes has
proven to be difficult task for head
Coach Dick Crum and his staff.
But this year should be different.
Many of the starters are now sea
soned veterans, with hopes of many
victories and possibly a bowl game.
Yet, there are some obstacles in
the path to glory. After much
criticism for a weak schedule, the
football Tar Heels began playing
many more difficult foes last year.
The problem is that many of these
people are on the road this time
around.
As usual, the defense will probably
be strong point of the team. This
seems to be a trademark of North
Carolina teams.
Defensive tackle Ruben Davis,
from Greensboro, N.C., is a probable
preseason Ail-American pick, and if
he remains healthy, he should have
a great year. He is an extremely gifted
athlete.
There may be quite a struggle for
the quarterback position this fall,

amount of playing time this past year
and did an excellent job. In the past,
Coach Crum has never hesitated to
use two quaterbacks, so we may see
a lot of both men.
There is a third factor in the
quarterback story, and his name is
Mark Maye. Maye was highly rated
prospect out of high school, who was
viewed as Carolina's ticket to the top
when he first arrived in Chapel Hill.
A stumbling block in Maye's path
to glory was a shoulder injury, but
there is hope he may contend for the
job this fall. If Maye returns in full
form, the contest for quarterback
could really become interesting.
The starting time for games for has
been moved from 1 p.m. to 12:15
p.m., in an effort to allow people to
spend more time in town after the
game, according to Athletic Director
John Swofford.
"We felt it would be best to be
consistent in our starting time,"
Swofford said. "Plus, by starting a
little bit earlier, fans will have more
time after the game to spend on
campus and in town."
The Tar Heels added a new coach
to the staff this year. Lawson Hol
land, formally an assistant with
Clemson, joined the staff as the new
running back coach. He is regarded
as an excellent recruiter. The position
was previously held by Dale Evans,
who left for a job as athletic director
and head football coach at Dorman
High School in Spartanburg, S.C.
This year should prove to be a
great challenge for the North Carol
ina football team, but if they can win
at least eight games with this sche
dule, there should be a bowl game
in the picture.
Football ticket distribution unchanged in fall
By RUTH DAVIS
Staff Writer
,The small square piece of card
board called an "athletic pass" may
look insignificant, but without it,
students wouldn't be able to get
tickets for basketball and football
games.
The pass, which is handed out
along with class schedules during
registration along with a student
identification card, must be presented
at the ticket office in Carmichael
Auditorium to get tickets to football
and basketball games.
"Football ticket distribution will
be the same as last year, except the
distribution dates will be different,"
said Ken Brown, director of ticket
operations. "We haven't decided on
what method we're going to use for
basketball tickets."
For football games, a student can
pick up one ticket per game, in
advance of the game. A student may
bring one other student's pass and
ID to pick up two tickets.
Block seating, for groups of 20 to
100 people, is available on request
for each game, but there is a limit
to the number of blocks.
Student guest tickets are available
on a seasonal and single game basis
in limited quantity. The sale date for
seasonal guest passes has not yet been
determined, but that information will
be available at the beginning of fall
semester, Brown said.
He added that a schedule of
distribution dates will be handed out
during registration.
For basketball games, a student
may pick up his and one other
student's tickets in advance of the
game, Brown said. Distribution dates
will be available at the beginning of
the season. Generally, tickets are
distributed the weekend before the
game.
Tickets are allocated on a random
basis.
