Bryant to Replace Carr,
Steer UNC Quarterbacks
Cleve Bryant, who coached North
Carolina’s quarterbacks from 1978-81 un
der Dick Cmm, has returned to the Tar-
Heels in that same capacity.
Bryant, who had been coaching wide
receivers at Texas, coached three of the
leading passers in school history Matt
Kupec, Rod Elkins and Scott Stankavage.
He replaces Gerald Carr, who recently
resigned to become an assistant with the
Philadelphia Eagles.
During Bryant’s four years at UNC, the
Tar Heels went to three bowls, beating
Michigan, Texas and Arkansas.
In his playing days, Bryant was a star
signal caller for Ohio U. He was the Mid-
American Conference Player of the Year
in 1968, and he threw for four touchdowns
in that year’s Tangerine Bowl (now the
Citrus Bowl).
He has coached since 1976, including
stints as an assistant at Illinois and as a
head coach at his alma mater.
“He has an excellent football mind,”
UNC head coach Mack Brown said. “Our
coaches had a chance to spend some time
with him at this year’s Sun Bowl, and
there’s no question he’ll fit in well with the
rest of the staff.”

Forget Cancun: Rejected Writers
Ready to Toss Leather in Florida
After dabbling over the seeds in the
NCAA tournament and taking a short
nap during my first class Monday, I
decided to venture on to another topic
my spring break plans.
Well, since that glorious week-long va
cation looms two weeks down the road
and my roommate reminds me every day
of his trip to Cancun, I decided it’s prime
time to start making my plans. Anyway,
that’s better than thinking about those three
exams coming up next week.
My mind started spinning.
How "bout a trip to the beach for a couple of
rounds of golf?
Nope, just a little too cold.
Maybe a journey to watch a NASCAR race?
Well, my sponsors, Spam, World Class
Wrestling and Hooters, withdrew their
money. Looks like I’ll have to root for Dick
Trickle while watching on television.
Why not try out for a Major League Baseball
team at spring training?
No, the owners certainly couldn’t offer
me enough money.
Wait, what was that? Yes, -with all the
big-name baseball stars striking, owners of
most “professional” teams have summoned
America’s finest bar buffoons, gym rats
and couch potatoes for a shot at stardom.
I raced out of class and shouted to every
one who could hear me, “I’m there!”

For the 27-year-old would-be catcher,

day in the life of a replacement player.
It’s not particularly glamorous for any
of them, many having to endure the sharp
stares and the shouts of “Scab!” from
friends, fans and former teammates.
“I think everyone understands the situ

SENIOR WRITER
Before I
knew it, I ran
into the Daily
Tar Heel office
to run my idea
past my ol’ pal
and cohort
Jacson Lowe.
Within the
hour, we had
made plans to
pack up the ol’
Ford F-150
with dusty mitts and wom-out spikes on
March 5. Of course we have to stay and
report on the Duke-UNC game March 4.
But that’s our swan song in journalism.
After all the rejection letters from papers
across the country, who cares anyway?
From that point on, our careers are
strictly devoted to baseball.
How ironic! Journalists who retire their
pens to try their hand at actually playing
sports.
What’s so funny? We’ve both played
baseball before. Heck, I have more playing
experience than Michael Jordan had when
he embarked on his summer-long carnival
last year.
Yeah, we both may have put on a few
pounds since the last time we hit the dia
mond, but c’mon.
sl3 each. Sawkiw had the room by him
self, but decided it cost too much for a
single and doubled up.
Breakfast is a quick stop for an Egg
McMuffin on the 15-minute drive from the
motel in nearby Clearwater to Dunedin
Stadium. Dinner could be another stop at
McDonald’s, although he might be able to
afford more with his S7B per diem allow
ance.
He wants to lose about five pounds and
get down to 185, but he’s not overweight
and definitely not out of shape. Nor are
most of the potential replacement players
in Florida and Arizona; there aren’t any
300-pound doughnut salesmen watching
balls roll through their legs.
“We know people are going to focus on
the mistakes, the fat guy,” Sawkiw says.
Sawkiw is one of 32 Blue Jays players
who have signed minor league contracts
that include an addendum in which they’ve
agreed to be replacements if asked.
The Blue Jays have about 60 other,
mostly younger Triple-A and Double-A
players who are not involved in the plan;
they train three miles away at another
complex and stay at a different hotel.
“They’ve done a good job making it as

news conference that was delayed for about
an hour, apparently as last-minute con

Both Fox and Kasay signed for five
years.
Polian declined to give financial details,
but earlier reports said Fox had agreed to a
contract worth more than $1 million a
season with a large bonus.

Hey, I’m a third baseman. You don’t
have to have much foot speed to play the
“Hot Comer.” And “All-Time” Lowe can
play outfield and catcher. He’s got just as
hot a glove as Chicago Blackhawks’
netminder Ed Belfour.
I figured we would start out in Cocoa
Beach, Fla. The Florida Marlins have to be
interested in our abilities. Then it’s on to
the St. Petersburg area to give the St. Louis
Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies and
Toronto Blue Jays a look at our Richard
Simmons-like physiques.
So it’s all set. Look out Florida and
Major League Baseball, here we come!
And by the way, anyone interested in
our big trip to Florida can contact us here
at the newspaper. Or why don’t you just
use Justin Scheef s e-mail address to send
me a few random thoughts. Bob knows!
There’s a little space in my truck if
anyone’s interested. But there’s one condi
tion: You ’ve gotta run the 40-yard sprint in
under seven seconds, have a fairly decent
glove and sport a gut that will even make
William “The Refrigerator” Perry jealous.
Heck, you never know, that hfe-long
dream may come true.
Instead of summer school and pumping
gas, we might be chewin’ tobacco, grabbin’
our crotches and playing pepper.
For baseball’s sake, I certainly hope not.
easy as possible for us,” Sawkiw says.
Sawkiw wears No. 6, but does not have
his name on his jersey, unlike Toronto’s
other minor leaguers. His name is sten
ciled above his cubicle in the clubhouse
where Joe Carter, Roberto Alomar and
John Olerud usually have nameplates.
Across the locker room, the lettering for
infielder Brandon Markiewicz spells out
“Markiewioz.”
At 10:50 a.m., Sawkiw and his new
teammates begin batting practice. They
are watched by Triple-A Syracuse man
ager Bob Didier, who folds a printed roster
in his belt so he’ll know everyone’s name.
There are a couple of dozen fans in the
stands. A dog, too. They’re quiet, and
none walks down for an autograph.
At 12:40p.m., the day is officially done.
For Sawkiw, Davis and others, that means
time to hit the weights.
Later in the afternoon, maybe a nap.
Alter dinner, more exercising in the room,
some television and lights out by the mid
night curfew.
Then, it all starts over again the next
morning. For how long, neither Sawkiw
nor anyone else knows.
“This is only chance I have,” he says.
the Giants switched from a 34 defense to
a 4-3. He had 40 tackles and one sack.
“I had other offers but I basically waived
them,” he said. “I’m excited. This is anew
team, and I’ve never been to the Carolinas.
It’s going to be fun starting from the ground
floor.”
Fox, a five-year NFL veteran, has started
for the Giants the past two seasons. He had
4-1/2 sacks playing defensiveendinl 993.
For Kasay, 25, it also means a return to
the Southeast. He played his college ball at
Georgia.
Kasay has converted 82 of 105 field goal
attempts in his four years in Seattle, for a
78.1 percent rate. Last year, he converted
20 of 24 field goal attempts.

The UNC women’s basketball team will
try to bounce back from Sunday’s tough
double-overtime loss to N.C. State when it
takes on Maryland tonight at Cole Field

Smith will most likely go head-to-head

The Terrapins are hoping to avoid their

Maryland is a young team, sporting five
