Smith may be out
for up to 5 games
By SCOTT FOWLER
Sports Editor
Kenny Smith underwent
arthroscopic surgery on his left
knee Saturday morning, and may
he out as long as "two-and-a-half
weeks," he said Sunday.
Smith had a loose fragment of
cartilage removed by Dr. Lau
rence Dahners Saturday morn
ing. The fragment became loose
Friday morning as a result of
ostochronditis dissecans, an ail
ment the senior has had for a year,
according to team physician
Joseph DeWalt.
The injury was unrelated to the
one that forced Smith to miss the
Georgia Tech game a week ago,
the guard said in a halftime
television interview during North
Carolina's eventual loss to Notre
Dame. "Ill be out a maximum
of 2',: weeks, but there's a great
possibility 111 be back earlier."
Smith said.
If Smith were forced to miss
2'; weeks. UNC would have to
play five more games without him
(at N.C. State. Virginia. Wake
Forest, at Maryland and Mar
quette). The Tar Heels are 1-1
without Smith this season.
Three years ago. Smith suf
fered a wrist injury against LSU
w hen the Tar Heels were 17-0 and
top-ranked. That team eventually
lost in the round of 16 to Indiana,
with Smith able to play but never
at full-strength. "This team has
played without me before,
though." Smith said. "And it has
a special unity."
Ironically enough. Smith's
latest injury came two days after
his finest career performance, a

sounded for the final margin.
"These guys never lost the faith
and they really played hard, Rivers
said. "This was a moment for us.
We're going to cherish this. We
finally did it. We finally beat them."
The Tar Heels had beaten Notre
Dame in each of the last two years,
ironically enough by the same 60
58 score in the I985 NCAA tour
nament. In that game, Kenny Smith
broke a last-second tie with a dunk.
In this game, however. Smith was
unavailable to the Tar Heels. He
underwent arthroscopic surgery
Saturday morning on his left knee
and may not return for two weeks.
One wouldn't have given Notre
Dame much of a chance whtUi the
first half ended. The Tar Heels had
rolled over the Irish, forcing them
into eight turnovers and a 41.7
shooting percentage. With three
minutes left, UNC led 32-1 6, and had
it not been for the three-point
shooting of Sean Connor, Notre
Dame might have been blown off
the court. The UNC traps had forced
the Irish out of their usual tempo,
and Wolf was deadly from outside.
Wolf wound up leading the Tar
Heels with 14 points and seven
rebounds.
Notre Dame did score the last
seven points of the first half, and
came out of the tunnel for the second
fired up. That fire, of course, did not
translate into a fast-paced game.
Anxious to avoid running with a
team second in the nation in scoring,
they milked the clock for all it was
worth. "The two keys in the second
hall were beating the trap and our
patience, Notre Dame coach Digger
Phelps said. "When there is time on
the clock, you can get it done."
The slow tempo helped the game

Wednesday night. It was the first
time in 17 years that a UNC
player had scored more than 40
points.
UNC coach Dean Smith said
the surgery wasn't new to his
standout point guard. "He had
the same operation on his other
knee in high school his senior
year, so we hope this ought to
be the end of the knee problems.
The right knee ... is fine now.
He hasn't had a bit of problem

The injury puts UNC in a
particularly weak position at

ture and wasn't available for the
Notre Dame game. Hyatt's status
is also questionable.

coach said the injury hadn't been
conclusively diagnosed yet.

Flack leads
Tar Heel
swim team
By LORNA KHALIL
Staff Writer
As you look at the North Carolina
men's swimming team filing onto the
pool deck of Koury Natatorium just
before the start of a meet, you are
immediately struck by the intensity
on one swimmer's face.
The intense visage belongs to co
captain Dan Flack and it signifies
the senior's determination to lead his
team to its first Atlantic Coast
Conference title in four years. Flack's
devotion also represents an attempt
to overcome some setbacks he has
suffered over the past two years and
gain the form that earned him an
ACC championship his freshman
season.
Coached by 1983 National Coach-of-the-Year
Dick Shoulberg, Flack
was a three-time All-American at
Germantown Academy in Fort
Washington, Pa. Training in one of
the most intense conditioning pro
grams in the country, he made his
mark on the national swimming
scene in 1982 when he placed 16th
at the United National Swimming
Championships in the 1,000-yard
freestyle, an accomplishment which
he repeated again in 1983.
As was expected, the highly
recruited Flack had a very successful
freshman year for North Carolina.
A real workhorse, he established
himself as a force to be reckoned with
among distance swimmers in the
ACC. He capped off his first season
in grand fashion with an ACC
championship victory in the 1,650
yard freestyle.
Flack's sophomore year started
out well and it appeared as if he was
on his way to another championship
season. But he tore two ligaments
in his thumb on Christmas Eve. In
a sport that demands year-round
training. Flack was forced to stav

COLLEGE PARK, Md.
Maryland freshmen Beth Hunt and
Edna Campbell combined for 49
points and 18 rebounds to lead the
Lady Terrapins to an 82-7 1 win over
North Carolina Saturday afternoon.
Maryland improved to 11-8 over
all and 4-4 in the ACC. UNC, which
had a three-game win streak halted,
fell to 12-7 overall and 5-4 in the
conference.

Senior Danny Flack could well
out of the water for six weeks and
had to swim an additional two and-a-half
weeks with a fiberglass cast
on his hand just weeks before the
ACC championships. Despite this
major obstacle in his training, the
Norristown, Pa. native still managed
to place sixth in the coference meet
in the event he had won a year before.
As if his injury hadn't hampered
him enough, Flack's efforts to get
some intensive training that summer
with mentor Shoulberg were
thwarted by a severe case of mono
nucleosis which kept him out of the
water the entire summer. The illness
had sorely affected his endurance
and as a consequence his junior year
was little improvement on his sopho
more year.
Training as much as 20 hours a
week yearly only to be frustrated by
injuries and illness would have
broken a lesser spirit, but fortunately
for North Carolina. Dan Flack is not

be the best long-distance freestyle
the sort of person who gives up
easily. Flack, who said he got his
inspiration to work hard from his
father, has in fact gained a compell
ing intensity.
The political science and criminal
justice major who is also a two-time
member of the ACC Academic
Honor Roll, decided to completely
dedicate himself to his swimming
before his senior year. He is deter
mined to swim his best during his
final season.
"I've really made an effort to swim
as fast as I can," Flack said. "I want
to be able to walk away from
swimming knowing 1 did the best
that I could and not having to
second-guess myself."
Flack's efforts have been paying
off. He has already established both
pool and school records in the 500
, 1 ,000- and 1 ,650-yard freestyles this
season, making him the best distance
swimmer ever to compete for North

Carolina. "Dan is swimming a lot
more consistently," senior teammate
Tim Shea said. "He's a lot faster in
workout and is swimming better
than he ever has here."
Flack, who likes to relax from
his demanding schedule by taking in
some pro wrestling on television,
said his goals include wanting to
establish personal bests and to win
an ACC team title. Denied the
conference crown since 1983. UNC
will have an advantage since it will
host this season's championship
meet.
Flack should play a key role in
North Carolina's challenge for the
conference title, since he is a prime
contender in both the 500- and 1 ,650
yard freestlye distances. Last year.
UNC lost the ACC championship by
a meager seven points to champion
Clemson, who should pose the
toughest challenge for the Tar Heels
