®l?r Sailg ®ar Mrri SPORTSMIEFS Carquest to Announce Miami Bowl Bid Today UNC should find out today whether it will be invited to the Carquest Bowl, held Dec. 30 in Miami. Mitch Morall, the direc tor of communications for the bowl, said the bowl’s committee should make an an nouncement this morning. Other teams being considered by the Carquest forthe slot designated for the No. 4 ACC or No. 5 SEC team are Maryland (6-5) and Arkansas (8-3). The likely oppo nent would be Syracuse, the third Big East team. UNC played Syracuse earlier in the year, losing 20-9. The teams also meet again next season in the Carrier Dome. “There's not much we can do but sit and wait and hope shortly that we’ll have an answer and that it will be a positive one,” said UNC Director of Athletics John Swofford. 3 Field Hockey Players Named All-Americans The CFHCA named sophomore for ward Kate Barber and sophomore midfielder Joy Driscoll to its All-America first-team Monday. Freshman Nancy Pelligreen made the second-team squad. Sophomore goalie Jana Withrow also garnered postseason honors, earning a spot on the All-South Region second team. Soccer Time Correction The game time for the women’s soccer NCAA championship match at Fetzer Field Sunday was inconectly reported. Game time is 1:30 p.m. Friday, UNC will play Notre Dame at 5 p.m. in the first semifinal; SMU plays Port land at 7:30 p.m. The DTFI regrets the error. Mclnnis Player of Week North Carolina’s Jeff Mclnnis and Duke’s Chris Collins have been selected as co-players of the week in the ACC. Georgia Tech’s Stephon Marbury was named the rookie of the week. Mclnnis was named to the Maui Invita tional all-tournament team after averaging 21 points and 6.3 assists in three games. UNC lost to Villanova in the title game. Volleyball Nets NIVC Bid The UNC volleyball team has earned a bid to compete in the National Invitational Volleyball Championship, held Friday through Sunday in Kansas City, Mo. North Carolina will compete in Pool B of the 20-team round-robin tournament beginning Friday at 12:30 p.m. UNC faces Sacramento State in its opener. Alabama Ruling Expected At Week's End From NCAA BIRMINGHAM, Ala. An NCAA committee has decided Alabama’s appeal of sanctions against the football program and will likely release its findings by the week’s end, a spokesperson said Monday. Given that timetable, the 21st-ranked Crimson Tide (8-3) should know by the day bowl bids go out whether the panel will lift a ban on postseason play —a key request by Alabama. Alabama was placed on three years pro bation for rules violations involving former Crimson Tide stars Gene Jelks and Anto nio Langham, the latter a defensive back now with the NFL’s Cleveland Browns.

Fans will see a lot of it tonight at 7 p.m. in the Smith Center, as UNC hosts Rich mond in its home opener. The No. 17 Tar Heels, fresh off a last second loss to Villanova in the Maui Invi tational last week, boast a rookie triumvi rate justly touted highly in the preseason. Six-foot-6 forward Vince Carter and 6- 8 forward Antawn Jamison the first rookie duo to start a season opener under UNC coach Dean Smith combined for 54 points and 36 rebounds in Maui. And Ademola Okulaja, the least heralded of the freshmen, has been the biggest surprise. The 6-8 forward from Berlin had 17 points and 19 boards coming off the bench in three games in Maui. But the other side of the ball tonight boasts just as much youth. Only it’s not as talented. The Spiders lost the only double-digit scorer on its 8-20 squad last year, guard Kass Weaver (17.8 points per game).

Their four NCAA Tournament victories over Syra cuse, Georgia Tech, Indiana and Arizona, all in the last 10 years, certainly proves that.” UNC’s wins in Maui last week helped improve its Associated Presspollspot three places this week. The Tar Heels were ranked No. 20 in the AP Preseason Poll.

Smith Center Series Record: UNC leads 11-2. TV: Home Team Sports. Radio: WCHL 1360 AM. Keys for UNC: Poise. UNC showed in the Maui Classic that it is a better team than the rankings show; now it just must win. After a disappoint ing loss to 'Nova, the Tar Heels must not let down against wannabe giant-killer Richmond. Keys for Richmond: Force foul trouble. The Spiders are outmanned and outgunned vs. the Tar Heels - which says a lot, considering UNC starts two freshmen. Richmond's only real chance for a W is to put UNC’s scorers on the bench. Tar Heel Bench: Sophomore Shammond Williams averaged just over seven points and 22 minutes in the Maui Classic last weekend, and has shown poise as a sixth man. Freshman Ademola Okulaja contiunes to surprise with his tenacity. Spider Bench: Junior forward Rick Edwards was the only Richmond player besides Oliver to score in double digits against Campbell. That's about it Analysis: Richmond doesn't have much of a chance. Prediction: UNC 96, Richmond 62. COMPILED BY ROBBIPICKERAL AP Basketball Top 25 Teai m I Kentucky (40) 1-0 1.599 1 2.

State on Friday, will be in a cast from hip to ankle for a minimum of six weeks. Babb was transported from Raleigh to UNC Hospitals where he underwent sur gery for the injury. No word has been given on when Babb is expected to be fully recovered.

North Carolina’s season was full of ups and downs, and surprises. Coach Mack Brown didn’t plan on 34 turnovers. He didn’t plan on the offense averaging24pointsagame. Hedidn’tplan on having all those kicks and punts blocked. But then again, there’s no way he could have expected the defense to be ranked in the top 5 nationally all season. He couldn’t count on linebackers Kivuusama Mays and Brian Simmons emerging as playmakers and gamering postseason ac colades. And he couldn’t have anticipated tailback Leon Johnson carrying the of fense on his shoulders down the stretch. Well, all that happened in 1995, whether Brown and the Tar Heels believe it or not. It’s just unfortunate that the only memo ries most fans will have of this season is the disappointing 6-5 record. And who can really blame them? The expectations for this team were high. After an 8-4 “down year,” this team had a rea sonable chance to go 10-1 or 9-2. Rated as having the second-best talent in the confer ence, it wasn’t a far-fetched concept. Every single game, save the Florida State contest, the Tar Heels were in it until the final whistle sounded. It was just that mistakes earlier in the game usually forced UNC to attempt to come back. Up until the N.C. State game last Friday, North Caro lina had allowed only 27 points in the fourth quarter all year. Folks, that’s a field goal per final stanza. That’s clutch. Not bad for a team that’s taken a lot of heat this fall. The turnover problem was clearly the factor that made this team 6-5 instead of 9- 2 or better. But who can we blame for those turnovers? Mike Thomas, who threw a UNC record 19 interceptions, heard the boos, but still led the team from behind to beat Duke and then win against State. He did throw a bevy of interceptions, and most were his fault. He misread de fenses and pressed too hard to make the big play. But there were the ones he had no control over, most notably when Freddie Former Blue Jays Executive Chosen as Next Orioles GM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BALTIMORE Pat Gillick returned to baseball Monday as general manager of the Baltimore Orioles, one of the few jobs that could prod him out of retirement. Gillick was general manager of the Toronto Blue Jays from their inaugural season in 1977 through 1994, producing World Series champions in 1992 and 1993. He was elevated to executive vice presi dent in September 1994. “When I backed off 14 months ago, I kind offiguredlhad enough,” Gillick said. “But I was kind of idle, not really doing too much, and my wife gave me a major league, ‘Yes, you did retire too early.’ She was part of the push.” Gillick, 58, signed a three-year deal Monday afternoon after several weeks of on-and-off negotiations with owner Peter Angelos. “I had some other opportunities to get back into baseball with Arizona and Tampa Bay, but I didn’t want to wait for two years,” he said. “I wanted to get back into a situation that was positive with an own ership that wanted to win. I see those qualities here in Baltimore.” Gillick built the expansion Blue Jays Jlf RUSSELL BABB was named honorable mention All-ACC last week. games at guard prior to that injury. The offense awarded the game ball to Babb, who was named honor able mention All- ACC last week. “He’s like, ‘l’m all right. I love y’all too. Y’all win it for me,”’ said UNC split end Octavus Barnes. “We hope he was watching SALADELIA CARE /~\ Saladelicious Somnambulism Saladelia Cafe is open until 3am Thursdays, Fridays, fir Saturdays.

Sure, the Tar Heels lost more games than most fans expected, but they still won more than they lost and are probably headed to a bowl game for a fourth straight year. Six straight winning seasons is not a given in these parts. It’s only the first time since 1940 the program has done that. And after starting 0-2, that’s quite a feat. “This will probably sound really funny, and I probably shouldn’t say it, but I’m going to: This has been a great finish,” Brown said after the State game. “To do what this team has done, to be able to come back, and for Mike Thomas to come out of the turnovers and play like he has the last two weeks, I really think this is a special team. “This is a season I will remember for ever, partly because of how it started, but more because of the way it ended.” Even though this year wasn’t picture perfect, hopefully in the long run the fans will appreciate it as much as Brown does. Random Thoughts Friday’s game turned from being one of the most boring UNC-State contests into one of the most memorable and controver sial.

He expects much quicker results in his new job. “What really convinced me to come back is that this club is close to winning,” he said. “With the proper additions, we can be right there challenging for the East ern Division title.” Gillick, voted major league baseball’s executive ofthe year in I9Bsand 1993, will be reunited with manager Davey Johnson, hired Oct. 30. The two played together as minor leaguers in the Orioles’ organiza tion in 1963. “With Pat Gillick joining Davey Johnson, we now have the most formi dable baseball operations team in the game,” Angelos said. “Pat will oversee all aspects of the baseball operations.... His abilities and leadership should provide Orioles fans with the championship they so richly deserve.” Gillick may have the inside track to getting one of the most coveted free agents in baseball, Toronto second baseman Roberto Alomar. Gillick said: “That’s a possibility. He’s a special talent, and he’d look good in an Oriole uniform.” somewhere on TV, so we fought for him This game goes to Russell.” Babb was named the winner of the ACC’s Jim Tatum Award, given to the top senior student-athlete among the league’s football players.
