Three Saturday afternoon's ago, the North Carolina football team had just destroyed Navy 45-14 and was riding high at 3-1, while N.C. State was still searching for a quarterback and its first victory. (They would find both that night against Maryland.) This Saturday, in the 77th renewal of one of ACC football's greatest rivalries, it will be a confident Wolfpack team that takes the field at 12:05 p.m. in Carter-Finley Sta dium against a Tar Heel unit filled with self-doubt and wonderment. "Our backs are up against the wall," UNC's senior cornerback Derrick Donald said. "No matter who we were playing, this would be our biggest game. The urgency in Donald's words was put there because of the Tar Heels' consecutive home losses to Auburn and Wake Forest the past two weeks. Both were games North Carolina could have won. But the latter was a game UNC should have won. "We didn't have that fire in our eyes, that aggressiveness that we had in our other games," Donald said of last Saturday's 22-14 loss to the Deacons, who were a I2-point under dog to UNC.

Head coach Dick Crum, along with many other members of the UNC program, cited a belief that the previous week's 20-10 loss to sixth ranked Auburn was so disappointing, so emotionally debilitating that UNC was "flat" against Wake Forest. Whatever the case, the Tar Heels are at a crossroads. "We can do one of two things," Donald said earlier in the week. "Either we can sit and mope about Life Insurance Retirement Plan Paid Vacations Flexible Hours wmi w ran ekj QUIKSILVER MAUI & SONS BILLABONG GOTGHA CATCH IT CB MADE IN THE SHADE it (the Wake loss) and feel sorry for ourselves, or we can get back up on the horse." Whether or not UNC is able to do that will depend greatly on the Wolfpack, which suddenly caught fire when quarterback Shane Montgo mery was benched in favor of redshirt freshman Preston Poag for the Maryland game. "Obviously, the big difference between the way State is playing now and the way it played earlier in the year," Crum said, Mis the confidence the players seem to have in Preston Poag." After an embarrassing season opening loss to East Carolina, coach Dick Sheridan's team was shut out by Pittsburgh and held to three points by Wake Forest in its next two games. But Poag, an option magician who doesn't have a bad arm either, stepped forward to ignite State's dormant offense. The Wolfpack exploded for 42 points against the Terrapins before ringing up 27 more against the Yellow Jackets.

"We're going to have to really rise to the occasion," Crum said. "A lot of our players have a lot of soul searching to do. It's a matter of how bad do they want to get the job done?" Adding to the difficulty of the task for UNC is the Tar Heels' zany backfield situation. True freshman Reggie Clark will become the fourth man in seven games to start at tailback for North Carolina. Torin Dorn (ankle), Kennard Martin (sus pension) and Clarence Carter (ankle) are all unavailable, while last week's starter Eric Starr is questionable with a deep thigh bruise. "I never thought we would have to start a game this season with a true freshman at tailback," UNC offensive coordinator Randy Walker said. "But it's just the hand we've been dealt. There's a lot at stake out there in the pot. We've got to find a way to make it work, even if we hr e to bluff our way through it." - Another loss Saturday and it may be time for Crum and Company to fold 'em. Day Lineups N.C.

One key management offi cial said the end came too late for the strikers to play and get paid this week. "The union sent everyone back to work, player representative Keith Fahnhorst of the San Francisco 49ers told The Associated Press. William Judson, player rep of the Miami Dolphins, also said he had been told the strike had ended. "We are going back in without an agreement," Judson said. "We are hoping the Dolphins take us back in." But Tex Schramm, president of the Dallas Cowboys and a member of the NFL management council, said the union waited too long. "They're too late. The deadline was Wednesday," Schramm said. "We've made that clear to them all along. Nothing was settled between the union and the management council on ah agreement to send the players back to work. Union leader Gene Upshaw and management negotiator Jack Donlan talked by telephone but Martin-suspended; drags a possibility By MIKE BERARDINO Assistant Sports Editor Kennard Martin, a redshirt freshman tailback on the North Carolina football team, has been suspended indefinitely by coach Dick Crum for "disciplinary reasons." According to the Durham Morning Herald's Thursday edi tion, "Sources close to the team said the Tar Heels were given an unannounced drug test Sunday and that Martin did not pass. The sources were unsure of the type of drug involved." Martin, a 5-10, 203-pound native of Winston-Salem, would have been the Tar Heels' second string tailback behind freshman Reggie Clark this Saturday against N.C. State. His suspension further depletes a UNC tailback corps already weakened by injuries to Torin Dorn, Eric Starr and Clar ence Carter. In addition to keeping him out of games, Martin's suspension prohibits him from practicing with the team. Martin could not be reached for comment Thursday. "Anytime you suspend some body there's a pretty good degree of seriousness to it," Crum told the Herald. Crum would not, however, confirm or deny if Martin had been suspended for failing a drug test. Before this academic year, North Carolina changed its drug testing policy from mandatory to voluntary. According to the Tons and tons of fun for non-revenue sports fans By LANGSTON WERTZ Staff Writer Yet another weekend is here.

But Schramm said even if there was an agreement, the players couldn't play this week. Meanwhile, players all over the league rushed back to camp, includ ing the entire teams from Buffalo, Atlanta, Cleveland, Kansas City, Seattle, Washington, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Denver and the Los Angeles Rams. But the Redskins and the Browns left after meeting with their coaches. Meanwhile, in Seattle, where a convoy of about 25 cars carrying regular players arrived at 10:25 a.m. PDT, a bus carrying replacement players was turned back from team headquarters. "We're fired, we're fired," players shouted from the bus. Reaction from around the league Was mixed. "I dont know about the rest of them, but I'm ready," said Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino, a member of the union's executive council. "It's really caving in," said Dave Puzzuoli of the Browns, who had 16 players report before Wednesday's deadline. "I feel betrayed. With friends like this, who needs enemies." LiVi I HUT, rl mi i mMwS5-v',n,-Wa mil 1 1 rrmmYrMirfTJ Kennard Martin Herald's source, most of the Tar Heels signed releases before the season allowing the school to drug-test them periodically. Martin started the season as UNC's third-string tailback behind Dorn and Starr. An ankle injury to Dorn against Illinois gave Martin considerable playing time the next week at Oklahoma, and Starr's ineffectiveness in that game propelled Martin into the starting lineup for the Georgia Tech game. A pulled hamstring forced Mar tin out of the Tech game in the second quarter and he missed the Tar Heels' next two contests before returning to rush for 14 yards on four carries last Saturday against Wake Forest. other school colors) to enjoy fall break. But alas, friends, not all Tar Heels have the chance to visit Mom and Dad this weekend. Many UNC athletes instead must take to the fields and the courts to partake in the jubilant exultation of emotion that men call sport. ' Anson Dorrance's 18th-ranked men's soccer, team has a 2 p.m. date Saturday on Fetzer Field with the Terrapins of Maryland. The top ranked women, who were held to a scoreless tie by underdog William and Mary Wednesday, figure to be on the warpath when N.C. Wesleyan visits Saturday and Alabama comes in Sunday. Betsy Gillespie, a senior midfielder who paces the Tar Heels in goals this season with 12, will lead the field hockey team into Evanston, 111., for three rugged games. From Friday to Sunday, the Tar Heels will meet Northwestern, Purdue and Northern Illinois. The men's and women's cross country teams will travel to Virginia for an invitational meet against 50 teams from around the country. The men's race will begin at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, and UNC will be led by junior Mike McGowan and senior Reggie Harris. The women, led by senior Vicki Verinder, will take off on a 5,000 meter course at 1 1:30 a.m. Coach Peggy Bradley-Doppes and the women's volleyball team will try to rebound from their loss to Duke at home on Tuesday, a defeat the coach called her most disappointing ever. Hoping to change Bradley Doppes' mind-set, the netters will travel to Floyd-drenched Florida for the Oct. 16-17 South Florida Invitational. The Tar Heels play Tulane and Southwest Texas State on Friday, and South Florida on Saturday. Then 1 on Sunday, UNC meets Central Florida in a non-tournament event. Yes, there's another busy weekend slate for UNC, and more than enough excitement for the faithful Tar Heel to shake a stick at. Fenner's trial moved back From Associated Press reports The murder trial of former Uni versity of North Carolina football star Derrick Fenner has been post poned until Dec. 7 at the prosecu tion's request. "I needed more time to pursue some new information from one of the witnesses," prosecutor Mary Scherstrom said Tuesday by tele phone from Maryland. "One of my investigators is working on that now." Ms. Scherstrom declined to com ment on the witness or the new information. She said about 25 people are under subpoena to testify for the prosecution, none of them from North Carolina, where Fenner attended UNC. Judge Jacob Levin of Prince George's County Circuit Court approved the postponement at a pre trial hearing. The trial originally was set to begin Oct. 26. i vi j0t 0,Jt. 0.40 i
