6The Daily Tar Heel Friday, September 11 , 1987 Sports Tair Heels meet toiwranked Oklahoma without Bom By MIKE BERARDINO Assistant Sports Editor The unenviable task of playing No. 1 -ranked Oklahoma in Norman became even more difficult on Thurs day when it was announced starting UNC tailback Torin Dora will miss Saturday's game with an ankle injury. The game will begin at 2:10 p.m. EDT, but will not be televised. Dorn, a 6-1, 195-pound sophomore from Southfield, Mich., injured his right ankle in last Saturday's 34-14 win over Illinois, a game in which he still rushed for 165 yards and two touchdowns. He was unable to practice on Wednesday and that's when Tar Heel coach Dick Crum made the decision tq leave Dora home in Chapel Hill. It's not a matter of choice," Crum said. "He's just not ready to play. It just wouldn't make sense for him to pby at 50 percent and then hurt it again." ; Starting in Dorn's place will be senior Eric Starr, who picked up just seven yards on five carries against the Fighting Illini. The talk throughout preseason practice was that Dorn and Starr would split time at tailback, but that wasn't the case in the opening game. Starr's best game at UNC came last November in the regular-season finale against Duke. After coming off the bench in relief of an injured Derrick Fenner, Starr rambled for 184 yards, including touchdown runs of 57 and 67 yards. For North Carolina, Dorn's loss only compounds the difficulty of playing one of the most powerful teams in Oklahoma, maybe NCAA, history. Already a 23-point underdog, the Tar Heels could not afford to lose any of their available weapons. One weapon who must be ready to fire away uninhibited is quarter back Mark Maye, who looked very average in the rain against Illinois. "He's the key to their offense," Oklahoma head coach Barry Switzer said of Maye. "It they're going to be successful against our defense, he's going to be the factor. "WeVe usually been able to handle good running backs, it's the guy who throws well, especially on play-action that concerns you," he said. Indeed, the only team to beat Oklahoma the past two seasons Miami of Florida had a strong armed passer (Vinny Testaverde) who wasn't afraid to throw and throw often. The Sooners return seven starters from a defense that in 1986 allowed an average of 169 yards per game in total offense. One of those four departures, of course, was Butkus Award-winner Brian Bosworth, now of the Seattle Seahawks. Look for Maye to test the Okla homa corners early, especially left cornerback Lonnie Finch, the only member of the Sooners' defensive backfield who is not a returning , starter. On offense, as everybody knows, Oklahoma's wishbone is as lethal as ever. Junior quarterback Jamelle Holieway, the Sooners' leading rusher with 811 yards last season, runs by defenders as if they were : standing still on a treadmill. Since the 5-9 California native arrived in Norman, Oklahoma is 23-2. And the rest of the Sooners' backfield is just as dangerous. Ful lback Lydell Carr and halfbacks Patrick Collins and Anthony Staf ford all come from the same give-em-a-crack-and-theyH-take-six-points school of option football. The 6-2, 225-pound Carr is a particularly horrifying sight to would-be tacklers. On those rare occasions when Switzer calls for a pass play, Holie way can throw to 6-3, 242-pound tight end Keith Jackson, who is often compared favorably to San Diego Charger star Kellen Winslow. Jack son caught three passes for 95 yards in Oklahoma's opener, a 69-14 pounding of North Texas State. He has great hands, is a menacing blocker and plays a mean cello, to boot. The last meeting between the two schools was on Nov. I, 1980, when North Carolina rolled into Norman with a 7-0 record and No. 6 national ranking. The 16th-ranked Sooners, quarterbacked then by the unforget table Julius Caesar Watts, proceeded to hand the Tar Heels their only loss in 12 games that season, 41-7. A repeat performance this Satur day afternoon would surprise no one. I aMmm Torin Dorn injured ankle Game Day Starting Lineups Easy-going German all business on court By JIM MUSE Staff Writer :At first glance, Sharon German appears to be just your average, easy going, 19-year-old college student. During what little free time she has, she enjoys dancing, singing along with the radio, talking on the tele phone and just hanging out with her friends. But when the 6-2 sophomore steps onto a volleyball court, she takes no prisoners. "Sometimes you just get it in your head that you want to kill someone," she said. "But you control that, and just play harder." German has been playing volley ball since she was in seventh grade, when she began practicing with the varsity volleyball team at her high-school-to-be in Dillon, S.C. She was only 5-10 then. As German grew to her present height, so did her abilities. Her senior year at Dillon High School, she was all-conference in four sports, all-state in two of those, and a Converse All American in basketball. College recruiters were understandably drooling. But therein lay the dilemma. Would she choose basketball, which she excelled in, or volleyball, which she liked better? "Up until the last day, even I really didn't know," she said. As soon as basketball season was over, she made her choice. It would be volleyball, and UNC. "IVe wanted to come here since I was in the sixth grade, and that made it easy for me," she said. "I also thought that I could go farther faster by playing volleyball." After thinking she would be riding She's 1 7T IT Admission H 00 Saturday, Sept. 1 2 Sept. 1 1 & 1 2 7:00 and 9:30 Midnight WILLIAM HURT R Friday, Sept. 1 1 Admission Night $150 7:00 and 9:30 Tickets at Union Desk the bench for most of her freshman year, German broke the starting lineup in the second match of the season. North Carolina volleyball hasn been the same since. She quickly made a name for herself with her deadly powerful hitting ability, placing third on the team in kills with 299, and second on the team in service aces with 36. Concurrently, her stock also began to rise nationally. In the spring, playing in privately sanctioned USVBA tournaments, German was named to the all-region team along with UNC teammates Ann Schild meyer and Sherri Vogel. This summer, she was named to the East team of the U.S. Olympic Festival, where she helped spark the team to a silver medal. Since then, German has received an invitation to a developmental camp that is the first step in the selection process for the U.S. Olym pic volleyball team. She is the first volleyball player from the state of North Carolina to receive such an invitation. Her sudden success was as much of a shock to her as it was to everyone else. "It wasn't until just last spring that I realized what I could do as a pjayer," fcjje 'said. "Now that I see it, I have to go after it with everything I have." She has gone on to become her own toughest critic. "I know that I have ability. But there are so many things that I need to work on," German said. "I just have to concentrate and tighten up on my skills, especially my defense." If her talent is lacking in any area, she sure has fooled her coaches. "Sharon's development has been incredible," says assistant coach Kevin Kirk. "She came in, and by the middle of last season she had progressed as a player to where we thought she might be at the end of :-:-:.-;::::-:: USED FURNITURE UNFINISHED FURNITURE Beds, Chests, Desks, Tables, Chairs, etc. waging PsC S. Greensboro St 942-2017 Canboro, beside Wendy's FREE Delivery with this ad! Sharon German rising star this year." In Monday night's win over Vir ginia Tech, German had four kills while seeing limited action in just two games. German obviously has tremendous raw talent, she just needs experience. By the time she's a senior, German should be able to compete at a national or even international level." Kirk is careful to note, though, that this year will be very different for German. Carolina recruited one of the top freshman classes in the nation. With all that depth, German's indi vidual talents won't shine like they might have otherwise. But that doesnt worry her. "Now that our personnel is so good," she said, "I won feel bad if I'm not in, because I'm confident in the ability of the others to get the job done. We have the tools we need." And as is the case with many UNC athletes, seeing the team do well is more important to her than her personal success. "I want to help the team out in any way that I can. I want to be a team player, and lead by example," she said. "If you see someone else hustling, youH do it too. That's what I have to work for."

Patton (who's an assistant now?) McDowell had a perfect 10-0 record last week, as he nailed every one of the DTH Picks of the Week. The 10-0 record included his impressive prediction of ECU's win over State, a prediction which got lost in the translation from voice to computer. No matter. The question was placed before a select DTH arbitra tion committee, which decided unanimously that McDowell's orig inal pick was the one that counted. In second place was Jim (but I thought I won) Surowiecki, whose 9 1 mark was marred by State's loss. Chris (generic hairdo) Spencer, was third at 7-3,' and sadly, woefully bringing up the rear was Mike (David Bowie saved my social life) Berar dino, with a 6-4 slate.
