It was, at various times, memor
able, forgettable and downright
unmoving. Near its conclusion, the
ratio of yaw ns to smiles in the crowd
was all too balanced. But in the final
analysis, for fans and players alike,
it was fun.
It was the Pro-Alumni basketball
game held Saturday afternoon in the
Smith Center after UNC's football
romp over The Citadel. The score
of the overblown pickup game was
111-86 in favor of the Michael
Jordan-led White squad.
A Carolina Blue-clad sellout
crowd of 21,444 paid $5 for the right
to witness the official dedication of
the uHouse Dean Built." The pre
game ceremonies, which lasted 45
minutes, featured introductions of
Tar Heel hoops celebrities from the
past 30 years and an appreciative
speech from the man of the hour
himself, Dean Smith.
At halftime, the jersey numbers of
six former UNC greats Jack
Cobb, George Glamack, Lennie
Rosenbluth, Phil Ford, James
Worthy and Michael Jordan were
retired into the rafters. Each fulfilled
the criterion of being named
National Player of the Year while
at North Carolina.
Additionally, six other jersies were
hung in "a place of honor" behind
Ashton's early goals pace
By GREG COOK

UNC, boosted by freshman Chad Ashton's two first
half goals and increased aggressiveness on defense
throughout the second period, gained a 3-0 halftime lead
and defeated Erskine 5-1 Saturday at Fetzer Field.
Ashton, who hails from Denver, Colo., scored North
Carolina's first two goals, the first one arriving only
three minutes into the first half. Ashton struck again
with a goal midway through the first period, and after
Terry Nelson scored the Tar Heels had an insurmoun
table 3-0 halftime lead.
UNC, 3-1 on the year, began the second half just
as it had ended the first when senior Marcus Martin
took an assist from junior Tommy Nicholson and netted
the fourth Tar Heel goal with 42:05 left in the match.
After Erskine rebounded , with a goal of its own at
the 41: 15 , mark, junior David Smyth took advantage
of a penalty kick with 30:47 left to give UNC a final
insurance goal a goal that was unneeded thanks to
marked aggressiveness on the part of the Tar Heel
defense in the second half.

Field hockey rolls over

North Carolina's field hockey
team burst onto the scene with a 7
0 victory in its season opener against
VCU Sunday afternoon.
The Tar Heels, tentative in the first
few minutes of play, were sparked
by captain Claire Dougherty's unas
sisted goal less than seven minutes
into the half. The goal was set up
. when experienced VCU backfielders
Karole Arbia and Laura Hevener
were unable to relieve the pressure
being applied by forward Dougherty
and midfielders Betsy Gillespie and
Lori Bruney.
Five minutes following Dougher
ty's icebreaker, Bruney, playing a
new position this season, sent a pass
to Gillespie, who picked up the
second Tar Heel score.
With skillful passing, the Tar
Heels dominated the field through
out the first period, and later sweeper
Tracey Yurgin drove a loose ball past
Burner to give UNC a three goal lead
at the half.
In the second half Bruney's lightn

the aforementioned half-dozen. For
winning All-America honors in more
than one season, the honorees
included Cartwright Carmichael,
Billy Cunningham, Larry Miller,
Charlie Scott, Mike O'Koren and
Sam Perkins.
Worthy, now playing for the Los
Angeles Lakers, was player of the
year in North Carolina's 1982 cham
pionship season. "It's great having
a reunion, playing with guys you
played with (in college) and guys you
grew up watching. It was just a great
experience," he said.
Worthy skied for several crowd
pleasing slams en route to 20 points
on the afternoon, just behind Blue
teammate Al Wood who had 21.
Jordan, who was the consensus
choice as the nation's top player in
1984, poured in 28 points for the
Whites, easily outdistancing Sam
Perkins, who scored 15, for team
honors. One play, a patented Air
Jordan super slam that came off a
feed from Dudley Bradley, sent the
fans into a frenzy and closed the third
quarter in style.
"This game was like my senior
year," Jordan said. "It was like my
last year here." True to form, despite
three first-half airballs, Jordan had
the crowd eating out of his hand
throughout.
For some ex-UNC stars, the game
represented another type of reunion
ing speed and consistent play,
accompanied by Dougherty's aggres
sion, provided the opportunity for
12 more shots on goal. Four of those
shots bulged the net cords. The first
goal came two minutes into the half
as Dougherty sliced a pass from
forward Julie Blaisse past Burner.
Dougherty picked up the hat trick
10 minutes later, when she capital
ized on a penalty corner taken by
Gillespie. Despite Virginia's substi
tution of goalkeeper Karen Kohler

between them and a basketball.
Until last weekend, Bob McAdoo
and Mitch Kupchak hadn't even
touched a ball since last May. Scott,
an All-American in 1969 and 1970,
said he hadn't played roundball in
about seven years.
"My mind was on my playing, but
my body forgot," Scott said. "I had
good dreams, but bad reactions."
One notable no-show was Walter
Davis of the Phoenix Suns.
Although his name was on the roster
distributed to the press just before"
the game, Davis was inexplicably
AWOL. "I don't know (where
Walter is)," Ford said. "I saw him
(Friday). 1 don't think he had to go
out of town, but maybe he did."
But however many times Tar Heel
shots careened crazily off the boards,
passes floated into the third row, or
fast breaks screeched to a disap
pointing halt, the fans enjoyed the
show.
"1 think it's great seeing all the old
players," said Brent Dixon, a fresh
man from Roxboro. "Many times at
home, I thought of what it would
look like having all these guys on
the floor at the same time. And today
it happened."

second hall," UNC soccer coach Anson Dorrance said.
"We really had to play very aggressively in order to
try to counter a very quick Erskine team."
Dorrance said that he had told his team to be wary
of the Erskine attack that featured four international
players.
"We played one of the best passing games that IVe
ever seen since IVe been coaching at UNC," Dorrance
said. "Our. combinations were great and we scored some
incredible goals. Frankly, I'm very excited. This match
should help us build our confidence and prepare us for
the rest of the season."
Smyth agreed.
"This was definitely the best match weVe played all
season," Smyth said. "We established ourselves early
in the , second half and played more aggressively and
that really helped us approach the rest of the match
with more confidence."
It seems it would be very difficult for the Tar Heels
not to be similarly confident about the rest of the season
when a freshman named Ashton. is already beginning
to contribute to a team already loaded with talent.
VCU, 7-0
for Burner after this goal, Dougherty
returned Gillespie's favor midway
through the half by assisting Gilles
pie on her second goal.
Despite three other substitutions
and the persistent defensive efforts
of backfielder Arbia, VCU was
unable to halt the Tar Heels' potent
offensive attack. With 6:32 left
Dougherty scored the seventh goal,
her fourth of the game. Any doubts
about a UNC victory had long since
vanished.
