Field Hockey Correction
North Carolina field hockey senior cap
tain Kimberly Schroll was omitted from
the list of UNC’s 1995 All-America play
ers that ran in Monday’s DTH. Schroll
garnered second-team honors after leading
the Tar Heels with 22 assists this season.
Schroll joins Tar Heels Kate Barber,
Joy Driscoll and Nancy Pelligreen on the
CFHCA All-America teams. The DTH
regrets the error.
Clemson, Cornhuskers
Could Meet in '97 and '9B
CLEMSON, S.C. Clemson and Ne
braska are looking for a rematch of their
1982 Orange Bowl contest that gave
Clemson its only national championship.
School officials are discussing the possi
bility of a two-game, home-and-home se
ries in 1997 and 1998, Dwight Rainey,
Qemson’s senior associate athletics direc
tor, said Monday.
Rainey called the potential for the series
a “long shot, ” but Assistant Atlantic Coast
Conference Commissioner Tom Mickle
gave better odds. “I’d say it’s 50-50," he
said. “If they want to play, we can get this
thing done."
Clemson would have to buy out one of
its existing contracts with a nonconference
opponent to be able to fit Nebraska in its
schedule. Clemson plays Appalachian State
and Texas-El Paso in 1997 and Furman
and Missouri in 1998.
ABC and ESPN have expressed interest
intelevisingtheClemson-Nebraska games,
Mickle said.
Clemson beat Nebraska 22-15 in the
1982 Orange Bowl.
Also, the 24th-ranked Tigers received
an invitation to play in this year’s Gator
Bowl. Clemson is expected to face either
No. 13 Virginia Tech, No. 22 Miami or
Syracuse. Clemson coach Tommy West
was presented with a plaque Tuesday by
Gator Bowl officials as a formal invitation
to the New Year’s Day game.
Phillies Mascot Sued
PHILADELPHIA The Phillie
Phanatic, the wild, cartoon-like mascot
who entertains Philadelphia baseball fans,
has cost the Phillies $128,000.
The big green character knocked down
a 68-year-old man at a 1991 church carni
val, and a Common Pleas Court jury
awarded Carl G. Seidel SIOO,OOO in com
pensatory damages Monday. The jury
awarded Seidel’s wife $28,000 for the loss
of his companionship.
The Philadelphia Phillies baseball team,
which owns the rights to the Phanatic, was
ordered to pay the settlement.
Seidel, now 72, a retired bus driver,
called the award “peanuts.” He had asked
for at least $525,000 and claimed that the
Phanatic committed assault and battery.
“I think the verdict stunk,” Seidel said.
“I don’t think the jury took into consider
ation the pain and suffering I have been
goingthrough.... I can’t sleep at night. My
bills are more than they allotted me.”
Seidel’s lawyers said their client was
talking with a group of men at the carnival
when the tall mascot hugged him aggres
sively, then hit him with either his belly or
his nose, knocking him over.
Seidel said the fall aggravated a previ
ous back injury.
William Keffer, who was portraying the
Phanatic at the event, said he could not
remember bumping into Seidel.

Bowl Invite Hinges on NCAA Rulings
BY JAMES WHITFIELD
SENIOR WRITER
Four days after seemingly wrapping up
a Carquest Bowl bid, the North Carolina
football team’s postseason hopes remain
up in the air.
After postponing announcements twice,
a Carquest Bowl spokesman now says that
the bowl matchup will be finalized by the
end of the week. After downing N.C. State
30-28 last Friday, UNC expected to re
ceive a formal invitation on Monday, but
the 15-member committee derided to wait.
“We’ve been in contact with the
Carquest Bowl regularly,” said UNC Di
rector of Athletics John Swofford. “You
just reach a point where the bowl has to
extend a formal invitation. There’s noth
ing else we can do on our end.”
The Carquest, held Dec. 30inJoeRobbie
Stadium in Miami, matches the ACC No.
4 or SEC No. 5 team against the Big East
No. 3 team. The guaranteed payout is
$750,000 per school.
Portland Soccer Skipper Faces Long Journey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORTLAND, Ore. When it comes
to national football powers, the University
of Portland ought to be on the list.
This quiet Catholic school on “The
Bluff” above the Willamette River in north
Portland has not one, but two, powerful
teams, and they’re both coached by Clive
Charles.
No, this school doesn’t play that bar
baric American football with helmets, end
less huddles and all those protective pads.
This is “real” football, the kind they
play in England, where Charles grew up
and played professionally before moving
to Portland as part of the Timbers of the old
North American Soccer League.
Charles will be racking up the frequent
flier miles this week. His No. 2-ranked
Wildcat Faithful Come Out
In Wake of Rose Bowl Bid
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EVANSTON, 111. There’s only a
week to go until final exams at Northwest
ern, the school known for having the brains
of the Big Ten. The buzz on campus, how
ever Jsn’t about tests, it’s about Rose Bowl
tickets. And how to get them.
With the once-hapless Wildcats head
ing to Pasadena for the first time in over 40
years, pigskin fever has hit with a ven
geance.
“Students are talking about football.
That hasn’t happened in nearly 50 years,”
said John Paynter, the school’s director of
bands who, as a student, cheered on the
Wildcats at their last bowl appearance
the 1949 Rose Bowl.
The campus bookstore had to add more
cash registers to handle all the sales of
Northwestern sweatshirts, hats, pompons
and T-shirts.
Vases of roses are plentiful around sub
urban Evanston. University flags flap in
store windows.
Former students, including Charlton
Heston, Cindy Crawford and Ann-
Margret, have voiced their support for the
Wildcats on television.
And on Monday, so many Califomia
dreaming fans jammed the phone lines to
inquire about bowl tickets that the

The Tar Heels’ fate appears to hinge on
the fortunes of two other schools. Both
Alabama and Miami’s bowl eligibility re
main uncertain. The Crimson Tide’s
postseason standing has not been made
public. TheNCAAhasn’truledonMiami.
Even though neither school would go to
the Carquest Bowl, the Bowl Alliance and
other bowls pick ahead of the Carquest.
“As soon as the Alliance shakes out

women’s soccer team plays No. 3 South
ern Methodist on Friday in the NCAA
Final Four at Chapel Hill, N.C., and his
13th-ranked men’s team plays at Santa
Clara on Saturday night in the NCAA
quarterfinals.
If the women win, he’ll be back on a
flight across the country in time to make it
to Sunday’s national championship game.
Portland’s nickname, the Pilots, seems
entirely appropriate for the coach who
might be making four cross-country flights
in four days.
“I hope I go to bed Monday a very tired
and happy person,” he said.
This year, Charles’ teams have a com
bined 34-2-4 record. The women (19-0-1)
haven’t lost since a 1-0 defeat to Notre
Dame in the semifinals of last year’s Final
university’s voice mail system broke. That
was the first day the university was open
after Michigan’s victory over Ohio State
handed the Wildcats the Rose Bowl bid.
Mary Doi, a senior and self-described
fair-weather fan, was among those trying
to get tickets. “It’s a once in a half-century
chance,” she said.
Until this season, when the Wildcats
became the nation’s favorite underdogs,
racking up a 10-1 record and capturing the
Big Ten championship, the average SAT
scores ofNorthwestem freshmen was more
often a source of pride than the football
team —especially during a 34-game losing
streak between 1979 and 1982.
But this year’s team was different, and
students started attending games in droves
although this was the first season they
had to pay for tickets.
Dyche Stadium, which seats 49,256,
sold out three times this year; the school’s
last sellout was in 1983. In six home games
this season, 229,380 seats were sold, com
pared to 171,909 last year.
Charles Chun, a senior, remembers his
reaction last spring when told he’d have to
pay for his tickets.
“I thought, ‘why should I have to pay to
go see us lose?,”’ he said, smiling. “But it
all worked out all right.”

Average Baseball Salary Declines
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK The average baseball
salary went down by nearly $58,000 this
year, the first substantial decline in 30
years.
The average salary was $1,110,766, ac
cording to final figures released Tuesday
by the Major League Baseball Players As
sociation at its annual meeting in Aventura,
Fla. That was a five percent drop from the
1994 average of $1,168,263. i
Clubs spent more money on players this
year—about $924 million, an increase of
sls million from 1994. And the New York
Yankees became the first club with an
average to top $2 million 52,000,271.
But the average declined because there
were far more players in the majors on
Aug. 31, the last day before rosters ex
panded.
While there were 762 players in the
majors in Aug. 31,1994, there were 824 on
Aug. 31 this year. The increase was caused
by more players on the disabled list.
This year’s decline also was due to the
huge increase in rookies, caused by the
teams’ desire to reduce payrolls following
the 232-day strike that paralyzed major
league baseball in 1994.
There were 238 players with less than
one year of major league service on Aug.
31 rosters, an increase of 100 from last
year.

go to a bowl, the Peach Bowl would take
Arkansas, leaving UNC and Georgia as
Carquest possibilities.
■ If Alabama is ruled eligible and Mi
ami isn’t, then UNC would play Arkansas.
■ If Miami and Alabama are ruled eli
gible, the Carquest Bowl would probably
match Arkansas and Syracuse.
The bowl may be delaying its decision
in an attempt to avoid a UNC-Syracuse
matchup, because the teams played this
year and open the season next fall. Morrall
said that isn’t necessarily the case, but
Swofford knows it’s a factor.
“Syracuse would probably prefer not to
have a rematch,” Swofford said. “We
would prefer not to have a rematch and the
bowl would not prefer to have a rematch. ”
If the Carquest Bowl bid falls through,
UNC looks to be out in the cold. The only
other bowls which couldhaveinvitedUNC
have already announced their matchups.

Earn Honors
In ACC Voting
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA North Carolina defen
sive tackle Marcus Jones, who was re
cently named to the All-ACC first team
and Walter Camp All-America team,
nabbed the ACC’s defensive player of the
year award Tuesday.
Jones got 44 votes, four times the num
ber of votes Clemson linebacker Anthony
Simmons received. Brian Dawkins of
Clemson was third. In all, 16 players re
ceived votes for the defensive honor.
Despite being slowed by injuries in the
early part of the season, Jones came on
strong in the closing eight games. He had
81 tackles in the final eight contests, in
cluding 19 tackles for losses totaling 74
yards. He broke Lawrence Taylor’s record
for sacks in a career with 24. The previous
sack mark was 21.
Virginia coach George Welsh, whose
team brought an end to Florida State’s
domination of the Atlantic Coast Confer
ence, was named the Associated Press ACC
coach of the year.
W elsh was one of four people to receive
individual awards during the league's an
nual banquet in Atlanta on Tuesday night.
Seminole quarterback Danny Kanell
was a double-winner, capturing offensive
player of the year honors as well as player
of ffie year. Simmons was picked rookie of
the year.
Welsh was a runaway winner in ballot
ing by the Atlantic Coast Sports Writers
Association. He captured 52 of the 86
ballots cast, far ahead of Clemson coach
Tommy West, whogot 19. George O’Leary
of Georgia Tech was third with 13 and
Bobby Bowden of Florida State was next
with two.
The Cavaliers suffered tough last-sec
ond losses to Michigan and Texas, and
were knocked off by North Carolina in-
Chapel Hill. Before a national television
audience, Virginiaranouttoacomfortable
leadovertheSeminoles, then made it stand
in a fourth-quarter comeback that ended
inches short of the goal line.
“The players should get most of the
credit because they have to do the work,
and my assistant coaches should get the
remainder of the credit,” Welsh said. “I’m
more ofasupervisorand I delegate now, so
they’re the ones doing the work. I think it’s
something they can appreciate too.”
Kanell received 40 votes for the offen
sive player award, beating Virginia run
ning back Tiki Barber’s 25. Seminole run
ning back Warrick Dunn was third with 18
votes, followed hyMaanftand wide receiver
Jermaine Lewis with three and Pooh Bear
Williams of Florida State with one.
The player of the year voting was a little
closer, with nearly thesame orderoffinish.
Kanell got 31 votes, Barber received 23 and
Dunn collected 13. Lewis was fourth with
three, Jones was next with two, and
Simmons and Will Brice of Virginia each
got one vote.
Kanell was the league’s most efficient
passer and 13th-best in the nation. He also
was the ACC’s total offense leader.
Only three players were considered for
rookie of the year. Simmons got all but 11
of the 87 votes cast. He was the ACC’s
third-leading tackier.
