This year, the Series would indeed be a Fall Classic, with base ball's two best teams, the New York Mets and the Boston Red Sox, from two of baseball's traditional towns. This year, there were no flukes. The beauty of the first game depends on your view of pitching. If you enjoy a pitching battle, then the first game was true drama. New York's Ron Darling and Boston's Bruce Hurst both pitched bril liantly, with the Red Sox winning 1-0. Met second baseman Tim Teu fel watched a ball dart through his legs in the seventh inning, allowing Jim Rice to score the lone run. The next five games, however, could not aptly be described as beauties. The second game was billed as the greatest pitching matchup in anyone's memory. Dwight Gooden versus Roger Clemens. Phenom against Phenom. The game turned out to be anything but, as Boston battered the Mets 9-3 on 18 hits, and both phenoms took early showers. The Series then moved to Bos ton, leaving behind the shocked citizens of New York City. The rest of the nation awaited the classic game eveyone had anticipated. It didn't come in Boston. The two teams traded routs and they left Boston with the Red Sox leading the Series three games to two. It was Saturday night in New York, the home of bright lights and the theater. The Mets and the Sox were on America's center stage, and they delivered rousing performances. The sixth game will be remem bered as one of the greatest ever played in the Series, yet it was still just a close second to the marvelous marathon of 16 innings in the recent National League playoffs between the Mets and the Houston Astros. It appeared Boston was about to win their first world championship since 1918, until the Mets came fighting back in the eighth, tying the score 3-3 against Boston reliever Calvin Schiraldi. The game moved into the 10th inning and Boston manager John McNamara proceeded to make a Great American , Smokeout teriJov.20 . Student tickets are available for the Blue-White basketball games, which will be played after the Maryland and Virginia football games on November 1st and November 15th. Both these games will be played in the air-conditioned Smith Center and the halftimes will be only five minutes (so you can get out in time for the rest of your Saturday evening plans). Present your student I.D. and athletic pass at the Smith Center box office between 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM. Students may also purchase guest tickets at $5.00 in addition to their complimentary student tickets. Student groups of 20 or more are welcome to send a representative to the ticket office with the groups' athletic passes for block seating. Eddy Landrelh Extra Point string of questionable moves, or rather lack of moves, from that point through Monday night's final game that should haunt him during the coming long winter. Boston started the memorable 10th with' a two-run rally. The ques tion is, why did McNamara allow Schiraldi to hit for himself in the middle of the rally? Schiraldi had struggled through the previous two innings and Bos ton had a chance to add to their new-found, one-run lead. Instead, Schiraldi struck out and the Sox scored just once more. Nevertheless, the Sox took the field with a two-run lead in the bot tom of the 10th. But Schiraldi was still pitching and he allowed the Mets to come roaring back. McNamara removed him for Bob Stanley, but it was too late. Stanley threw a wild pitch, allowing Kevin Mitchell to score from third, tying the game 5-5. Then Mookie Wilson hit a ball down the first base line that rolled through first baseman Bill Buckner's to score the winning run. Sunday night the rains came, delaying the final until Monday night. McNamara's mismanagement continued to the bitter end. The Sox jumped out on top 3-0, but in the sixth the Mets scored three off Boston starting pitcher Hurst. Now folks, this is the seventh game of the World Series there is no tomorrow. Yet McNamara con tinued to wait too long in removing his pitchers and when he did he brought in the wrong people. With the Sox within 6-5, he brought in Al Nipper. Yes, the same Al Nipper who got shelled in Game 4. The Mets proceeded to score two more to ice the game. It's going to be a long, long win ter for McNamara, and the disap pointed fans of the Boston Red Sox. Stcnby (M&p&n Tha SJV3AG1Y PJ30VE!

(The 30-3 loss had something to do with that.) No matter. This week's UNCAOTW earned the prestigious honor on his own, and you're just kidding yourself if you think Elie Wiesel wouldn't trade his Nobel Peace Prize to get just one of our awards. Oh yes, the envelope. UNCAOTW for the week ending October 27 is men's soccer forward Mark Devey. Devey, whose career has been marred by administrative and ligamental mishaps, picked up a goal and an assist in Friday's 6 1 victory over Adelphi. The goal, the 32nd of his career, tied him for the all-time UNC lead in goals, while the two points gave Water polo to battle State From staff reports The club water polo team will play a crucial match tonight at 8 p.m. against N.C. State at Bowman-Gray pool. The team has already beaten the Wolfpack once this season and is looking for a repeat performance. So do something different the World Series is over, basketball doesn't start for another month and Highway to Heaven is a pitiful show. So check out the club team and be somebody.

The Daily Tar Heel No surprise start against By JAMES SUROWIECKI Assistant Sports Editor Two weeks ago, UNC football coach Dick Crum's weekly press conference had the crowd at Slug's jumping with excitement with the news that Mark Maye would be starting against N.C. State. This week, the prevailing mood was not jumping. It was more like snoring. Well, the conference wasn't that boring. Aside from Crum, Tim Goad and Harris "It really doesn't matter who's in there at quarterback" Barton attended, and Barton is always good for a quote or four. But there was no big news, and more time than usual was spent reflecting on the early part of the season. After Saturday's 30-3 trouncing by LSU, Crum could have been for given for being in a less than genial mood. But the coach was far from dour. He found good things to say about UNC's performance even in defeat. AP Top 20 1. Miami (Fla.) - 6-0-0 1,193 2. Penn State 7-0-0 1,107 3. Michigan 7-0-0 1,081 4. Oklahoma 6-1-0 1,017 5.

"The defense played a lot better than we did the week before," Crum said. "And we moved the ball on them at times. I was happy that our guys still played hard even at the end. They were just beaten by a better football team." Crum was unable to refrain from referring to the one characteristic everyone and his favorite Martian has mentioned about the Tigers. "As far as speed and quickness, they're as good a team as we've played since Oklahoma in 1980," he said. Crum did point out that this Saturday's meeting with Maryland will represent a turning point in the team's season. The Tar Heels enter the game with a 4-2-1 record and must be aware of the fact that Clemson is waiting after the Terrap ins. A win could return UNC to the road it has strayed from the last two weeks. "I think we're at a kind of a crossroads in our season," Crum said, a blues guitar twanging in the background. "I think we're a better football team than last year, but we've still got to play the month of November to prove it." Offensive tackle Barton, who had nothing but vilification for UNC's effort Saturday night, had nothing but praise for LSU. "We hit a chainsaw and it was running," he said. "They're a great team and they're going to be in the Sugar Bowl and they've got a chance to be in the top five when the season ends." Barton pointed to the question of desire when asked about the rest of the season. His intensity contrasted with the detachment in Crum's voice when the latter spoke of the future. "This team's going to have to look down within themselves," he said, "and say, 'Hey, what are we made of?' Otherwise we're all going to be sitting at home in December wond ering what might have been." in Applications available in Area offices and Carr Dldg. Due Dec. S se m m 7 W II LiiZ V '
