2 lift Saily (Tar Hppl SPORBBRIEFS Welch silences UVa. team CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Tiki Barber and his Virginia teammates have been silenced. After a 13-7 loss at Geor gia Tech, coach George Welsh decided his team has done too much talking and made it off-limits to the media. Welsh said Wednesday the ban is in effect through Oct. 19, when the No. 20 Cavaliersplay North Carolina State. The policy will then be re-evaluated. Virginia turned over the ball five times and staggered the entire game in its first losS of the season Saturday. The Yellow Jackets —then unranked said after wards that Barber’s cocky pregame rheto ric helped inspire the upset. ■The senior tailback said Viiginia had better athletes, a better game plan, better coSches and would win easily. JVelsh said Barber’s boasting was not the only reason for the ban. “ Some of them haven’t handled things well,” Welsh said of his players during the Atlantic Coast Conference coaches teleconference. “It wasn’t just what Tiki said about Georgia Tech. It’s what’s been said in the last couple of weeks. Plus, we’re in exam periods and I’ve done that before.” Barber recalled how he accurately pre dicted an easy victory last year over Geor gia Tech. In that game, he ran for 119 yards and four touchdowns against a Yellow Jacket defense that was rated No. 1 against the run. Virginia won 41-14. Whalers trade Shanahan -HARTFORD, Conn. The Hart ford Whalers traded former captain Brendan Shanahan and defenseman Brian Glynn to the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday for center Keith Primeau, defenseman Paul Coffey and a first-round draft pick in 1997. The trade, which had been rumored for almost a week before nearly unravel ing, was finally forged about three hours before the Detroit Red Wings’ home opener Wednesday night. "Hockey-wise I think everybody knows he’s hard-nosed,” Detroit coach Scotty Bowman said. , “I don’t know how many people there are like him in the league. He’s a winger, a power winger that can score. Obvi ously, that’s what we’re expecting.” IOC denies Olympic deficit JLAUSANNE, Switzerland U.S! and international Olympic officials ex pect the Atlanta Summer Games to break even or make a small profit, denying reports of a multimillion-dollar deficit. The Olympics’ top marketing official, meanwhile, said Wednesday the IOC would tighten its rules to prevent the commercial excesses and “junk merchan dising” of Atlanta. He also scolded Salt Lake City orga nizers for taking so long to complete a marketing deal for the 2002 Winter Games. -The International Olympic Commit tee and U.S. Olympic Committee dis missed French news reports quoting uni dentified sources as saying the Atlanta Summer Games had incurred a loss of tens of millions of dollars.

Yep, Tech. Certainly, it wasn’t a textbook-perfect win for the Tar Heels. And the 164) victory over the Yellow Jackets wasn’t as shocking as UNC’s wins over Clemson and Syracuse. So why would a humdrum win over a lesser foe count as the biggest win of a season that includes some other impres sive ‘W’s? One reason: Beating Tech showed that the Tar Heels are focused, and that ex ample bodes well for UNC’s game Satur day against Maryland. While the Clemson and ‘Cuse wins put North Carolina squarely in the spot light, they didn’t prove that the Tar Heels could sustain their success. After all, plenty of teams can pull off an upset or two in a year. But only the best teams can chum out wins week after week, regardless of the opponent. Sometimes, even the traditional pow ers in college football win games by only a point or two when they should’ve won by 20 or 30, or they (gasp) lose those no brainers. And more often than not, those lack- Fan’s catch helps Yanks slip by o’s ■ A 12-year-old pulled Derek Jeter’s fly ball out of Yankee Stadium to send the game into extra innings. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK There was no way anybody could interfere with this home run. Bemie Williams homered deep into the left field seats in the 11th inning to give New York a 5-4 victory over Balti more in the opener of the American League championship series Wednesday. Along the way, the Yankees got a lot of help from a little fan. Just like some predicted, the crowd managed to turn around Game 1, but it wasn’t by throwing anything at Roberto Alomar. A 12-year-old created a game-tying homer by Derek Jeter in the eighth when he reached out and grabbed a fly ball that was about to be caught by right fielder Tony Tarasco. Williams won it with his fourth homer of the postseason, connecting on a 1-1 pitch from Randy Myers, who entered the game with two outs in the ninth. While Williams’ hit was big, 12-year old Jeff Maier made just as big a play from the stands as he interfered with a catch and wound up sending the game into extra innings. Baltimore, backed by homers from Brady Anderson and Rafael Palmeiro, led 4-3 in the eighth when Jeter hit a one- 30 Pitchers 31 Family circle member 32 Venetian magistrates 34 Vaunts 37 One who hauls loads 6 Wall hanging 7 Kin of billiards 8 Wedding vow 9 Diplomatic protest 10 Newlywed 11 Distinctive style 12 Diplomat Whitelaw 13 Desert one’s party 18 Baffle 23 Cheer 24 Blue flower 25 Records 26 Tales 27 Go-between 28 earth (captured) 29 Way ■lO 111 112 113 _ _ 30 31 32 35 38 42 43 47 48 49 ■■so ■■sl 52 53 54 ■855 - 56 58 Mj r >'i ■■6 o 61” 11*62 ‘ ja®63 luster perfor mances come about because the opponent isn’t good. Be fore kickoff, the favored squads think there’s no way they can lose. But lo and behold, after three hours of bumbling around the \ JOSEPH ROLISON DOMINANT YOUNG PERSON gridiron, the championship dreams are over and all the big wins go for naught. Such a scenario might have been pos sible for Tar Heel teams of the past. This season, however, UNC hasn’t demon strated a knack for blowing games it ought to win. For instance, the Tech game was an opportunity for the Tar Heels to look ahead to the Seminoles and lose to Tech in the process. Yet UNC kept its focus on the Jackets and pounded out a win something it must do to move to the next level. Not taking care ofbusiness can exact a heavy toll just ask Maryland. Last week, lowly N.C.

Tarasco, who had just entered the game because Bobby Bonilla bruised a shoulder, settledunderitwith his back against the 9-foot wall. ButMaier, stuck his black Mizuno fielder’s glove above Tarasco’s— below the top ofthe fence—and pulled the ball away. Orioles manager DAVEYJOHNSON was ejected from the game in the eighth. “I was just trying to catch the ball,” Maier said. “I feel bad for the Baltimore fans. But as a Yankee fan, if I helped the team I feel pretty good. I think I had a right to catch it because I thought it was going to go out.” Right field umpire Rich Garcia ruled itahomerun, and Orioles manager Davey Johnson was ejected by Garcia during the ensuing argument. “I thought it was out of the ballpark,” Garcia sad “He reached out;, he did not reach down. In my judgment, he did not interfere with the fielder attempting to catch the ball. It probably was a situation where the ball would have hit the wall." Garcia, after watching the television replay, admitted his mistake. “I probably would have called fan interference,” he said. “I wouldn’t have called the guy out.” Last week, a fan in the left-field comer reached out to catch a home run down the line by Juan Gonzalez of the Rang- © 1996 Tribune Media Services, Inc.

State wasn’t supposed to win; how ever, it caught the Terps sleeping. And more than likely, Maryland’s dreams were Carolina Blue. Even though the Terrapins aren’t a premier opponent, North Carolina has plenty of motivation for Saturday. For one, Maryland is the last opponent on UNC’s slate that topped the Tar Heels in 1995. But more importantly, aloss would ruin what has been a stellar season thus far —and with Maryland’s gritty de fense, nothing is out of the question. “We have a lot of payback they gave us a tremendous loss at their place last year,” UNC defensive tackle Rick Terry said. “There are certain teams you just can’t get up for, but ... we know we’ve got to play this game like we played the first four.” While the Tar Heels failed to move to the next level by losing to FSU, they can continue their upwards trek by winning the gimmes. And that means not looking ahead to Houston, N.C. State, Louis ville, Virginia or Duke until it’s time to face those foes. But judging from the Tech tilt, UNC can keep its mind on the mission. So there’s no reason to think that UNC has anything other than turtles on its mind this week. ers. Baltimore announced it was playing the game under protest because of the lack on security in those seats. “I was told there would be security there so this would not happen, ” Johnson said. “This is about as close as it comes to one play beating you,” he went on. “I could see the kid reach over the fence from where I was.” Theteamsmeetagain Thursday, when David Cone pitches for the Yankee in Game 2 against David Wells, moved up a game followed Tuesday’s rainout. The series then shifts to Camden Yards start ing Friday night. Alomar, still the focus of attention after he spitting incident with umpire John Hirschbeck on the last weekend of the regular season, was booed long and loud each time he went to the plate. He extended his slump to 7-for-36 by going l-for-6 Wednesday, striking out three times. The All-Star second baseman made the final out of four innings, but did manage a great defensive play when he threw out Cecil Fielder in the sixth while falling from his right knee on the center field grass. Anderson’s leadoffhomer in the third tied the score 2-2. It was just his third hit in 17 career at-bats against Andy Pettitte, one of the favorites for the AL Cy Young Award. 9 jfiß awl! ; v twaSaSHI H 77CJKMV/// nAXTIzn ; Tech trounces Tar Heels, ends volleyball win streak STAFF REPORT The North Carolina volleyball team suffered a conference setback Wednes day night, drop ping a four-game decision to Geor gia Tech 9-15, 15- 9, 15-10, 15-7 in front 0f842 fans in Atlanta.
