Fencing makes grade at MIT tourney
J.R-. "goes. home to-Wahooville
By BOD YOUNG
Assistant Sports Editor
And all the Wahoosin Wahooville
even little Cindy Lu Wahoo, who
was no more than two stood in
Wahoo Square and began to sing
"Wahoo dor aw wahoo foray, wel
come J. R.. J.R. Reid."
Perhaps the reception given by the
fans at Charlottesville's University
Hall won't be quite that Seussily
heartwarming for North Carolina's
freshman phenom. But there is no
doubt that Dean Smith will be
viewed as the Grinch Who Stole J.R.
when Virginia hosts the UNC bas
ketball team tonight at 9 p.m
(Raycom, ESPN).
For Reid, the Tar Heels' leading
rebounder, the game marks the first
collegiate contest in his native
commonwealth.
And the Virginia Beach product
with the Venice Beach haircut is"
ready for homecoming. "1 expect IH
get the same reception there as I got
here," Reid said after UNC's victory
in Cameron Indoor Stadium. "This
will be my first time up there. IVe
got a lot of friends (in Virginia)."
Although the Cavaliers enter the
game with a respectable record of
9-3. 1-1 in the ACC, this may be
the season of what-could-have-been
for Virginia. What-could-have-been,
that is, if last year's leading scorer
and rebounder. Olden Polynice,
hadn't decided to lead the team in
off-court steals.
Last spring, Polynice, who would
have been a senior this season, was
charged with taking a set of head
phones from a Charlottesville store.
Coach lerry Holland suspended
Polynice from the team and the 7
foot center responded by selling his
services for top-lira in the Italian pro
leagues.
With Polynice, Virginia would
have returned all 13 lettermen from
last season's 19-11 team and would
have been a consensus top 10 team.
Without Polynice, the Cavaliers
are a middle-of-the-conference club
with a lot of experience. The scoring
load has been picked up by 6-7
forward Andrew Kennedy and 6-3
guard Richard Morgan, both of
whom average just less than 15
points a game. The rebounding
chores shift to Kennedy and Tom
Sheehey, who team up to grab tan
average of nearly 14'$ rebounds a
game.
When UNC last played in Univer
sity Hall, reserve guards Morgan and
John Johnson came off the bench
to score 25 points and lead Virginia
to a 86-73 upset of the Tar Heels.
who went into the Jan. 30 game with
a 21-0 record and a No. I ranking.
This season, UNC wanders into
Wahooville with a 13-1 record (2
0 in the ACC) and a No. 3 ranking.
By utilizing its depth in the froftt
court North Carolina hopes to avoid
giving the Wahoos (including Cindy
Lu Wahoo) something to sing about.
NOTE: The UNC-Virginia game
marks the broadcast debut of former
Maryland coach Lefty Driesell. The
Lefthander got some practice in his
new vocation at the UNC-Marytand
and Virginia-Maryland games, so he
should at least be able to expound
on how the Tar Heels and Cavaliers
beat his fdrmer proteges.

The North Carolina fencing team
traveled to Boston this past weekend
to compete in the fourth annual
National Collegiate Open, hosted
this year by the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology.
In the women's individual foil
competition, UNC senior Nhi Le
finished fourth, Cheryl Gates earned
seventh place, and Lorraine Leigh
and Alicia Foster placed 1 5th and
16th respectively, Mary Ronald
came in 24th.
In the women's team foil compe
tition, the North Carolina team,
comprised of Le, Gates, Leigh and
Foster, finished third behind Temple
and Penn State. .
. In men's sabre competition, North
Carolina senior Karl Elmore came
in fourth, Greg Jackson turned in
a stellar performance to finish 10th
and senior Mike Vecchiolla was 16th
out of 38 fencers. The sabre team
finished fourth overall.
The men's individual epee had
three top 16 finishers as sophomore
Ravi Sawhney gained top UNC
honors with the ninth place spot.
Freshman Pete Farquhar and
sophomore Jamal Reimer were the
other Tar Heel fencers. UNC epee
earned fifth place in the team
competition.
. In men's foil, junior Chris Kaiser
was the leading Tar Heel fencer with
a 17th place finish. The men's foil
team rounded out the tournament
with ninth place.
"The men's and women's teams
need a better balance of athletic
ability to experience," UNC coach
Rdn Miller said. "We have more raw
talent than in the past, but we just
don't have the level of experience to
utilize it."
"Our season is going to depend
on how quickly and consistently we
can fill that gap."
In 1986, the men's team finished
with an 18-2 record and the women
at 16-4, and Miller was named coach
of the year.

J.R. Reid, in an honor he may
treasure more than being named the
high school player of the year, has
swept to a win in the first Daily Tar
Heel Athlete of the Week ballot of
this'.season. Reid scored a career
high 19 points against Maryland in
Thursday night's win, then pulled
down a career-high 15 rebounds and
scored 1 1 points in Saturday's thriller
at Duke. Reid seized the game's last
five rebounds to ice the victory.
Honorable mention goes to junior
varsity basketball player John
Phipps, who traveled with his team
