Slfp Saily Ear Jbrl SPORTSBRIEFS Grambling suspends 4 players for rape arrests ; RUSTON, La.— Four Grambling football players were suspended from the team Wednesday pending an investiga tion into an accusation that they and a fifth student raped a 14-year-old girl. I;“AU of the individual athletes have been temporarily suspended from talcing part in intercollegiate athletics pending results of charges now being investi gated," interim athletic director Wilbert EUis said in a statement. -'All five were being held in the Lincoln Parish Detention Center Wednesdaywith bond set at $50,000 each. The men were arrested Tuesday and each was charged with one count of forc ible rape and one count of aggravated oral sexual battery. Two more suspects were being sought by the university police in connection With the incident. The police did not release their names. The rape is alleged to have happened in Grambling, on the university campus after Saturday night’s homecoming foot ball game. Those arrested were identified as Michael Gooden, 19, of Calumet City, HI.; Marlon Jones, 20, ofChicago; Emmitt §mith, 18,ofAthens,Ga.,;Dalin Smith, 19, of Harvey, 111.; and Christopher Sorrell, 19, of Beaumont, Texas. Coach accused of theft FAIRBORN, Ohio Wright State basketball coach Ralph Underhill pleaded innocent to petty theft Wednesday after being accused of shoplifting vitamins. Underhill’s attorney, Anthony Zaharieff, had said he would enter the plea by fax to Fairborn Municipal Court, making a court appearance by Underhill on Friday unnecessary. “We will be requesting a pretrial and a trial by jury,” Zaharieff said. Deputy court Clerk Angie Plemmons confirmed that the innocent plea had been received and filed. No hearingswere immediately scheduled. The charge, a misdemeanor, carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a SI,OOO fine. Underhill enters his 19th season at Wright State this year with a 356-162 record and .687 winning percentage. Underhill has coached the Raiders to 16 winning seasons, an NCAA Division II Championship in 1983, and a berth in the. NCAA Division I Tournament in 1993. He is accused of stealing vitamins Monday night from a Meijer store near the university campus in this Dayton suburb. Giants 1 Williams traded SAN FRANCISCO—Matt Williams, one of the top home run hitters in base ball, was traded by the San Francisco Giants to the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday for infielders Jeff Kent and Jose Vizcaino andreliever JulianTavarez. Williams has 247 homers in 10 years as the Giants’ third baseman, including 38 in the strike-shortened 1994 season. But he has missed large portions of the last two seasons with injuries. In Cleveland, he’ll be joining a team that ranked sixth in the majors last sea son with 218 homers and lost in the divisional playoffs to Baltimore. -; The Giants went6B-94last season, the third-worst record inbaseball. Theirmost glaring needs appeared to be starting pitching and at first base. Kent hit .265 for the Indians last sea son and Vizcaino hit .285. Both were obtained by Cleveland from the New York Mets on July 30 in exchange for infielders Carlos Baerga and Alvaro Espinoza. Tavarez went 4-7 with a 5.36 ERA in 51 games, including four starts. The acquisition of Williams gives the Indians the promise of continued offen sive power even if they are not able to re sign free agent Albert Belle. The Indians have offered a long-term contract, but Belle plans to visit the Florida Marlins for talks next week.

LEE TAFT SENIOR WRITER When the North Carolina men’s soc cer team takes the field at Virginia’s Klockner Stadium today against Wake Forest in the first round of the ACC tournament, it will be a different team than the one that suited up earlier this season. Not in appearance, but in atti tude. After running to an impressive 5-2-1 start, the Tar Heels (8-7-1, 2-3-1 in the ACC) went into a tailspin, notching a dismal 3-5 record in their final eight games. “I don’t know what happened,” UNC midfielder Carey Talley said. “We were cruising, we knew the games were com ing and we were taking each one in stride. We were thinking, ‘Noproblem.’ Wegot back in the national rankings, and then disaster hit. “It was amazing. I couldn’t believe it. One game we couldn’t communicate on the field, the next we couldn't hit the back of the nets. To happen right in the middle of the season like that was amazing.” With the tailspin erasing hopes for an at-large postseason bid, UNC needs to win the ACC tournament to be consid ered for a berth in the NCAA champion ship. But the Tar Heels have put their late season woes behind them and have fo cused their sights on the tournament. Talley said a week of intense practice and some insight on the part of the older players on the team has added a much needed spark to UNC’s game. “We had a really good practice, and everyone seemed to be enjoying them selves,” he said. “That hasn’t happened in a while. “Then we were sitting around and talking after practice, and the seniors realized, ‘This could be it. This could be our last practice ever. ’ It was really sober ing. They realized that from here on out, every game is their last game, and they Field hockey nets top seed in NCAAs, will play Sunday STAFF REPORT Thetop-rankedanddefendingnational champion North Carolina field hockey team will begin its quest for a second consecutive title this weekend.

The 33-year-old third baseman became the first Padres player to win the award in the 28-year history of the team. Jeff Bagwell (1994), Mike Schmidt (1980) and Orlando Cepeda (1967) were the only other unanimous picks. Mike Piazza of Los Angeles was sec ond with 18 second-place votes and 237 points, followed by Ellis Burks of Colo rado with five second-place votes and 186 points. Chipper Jones of Atlanta was fourth (158) and Barry Bonds of San Francisco was fifth (132). | Announcements I want to make that as long a string as possible.” UNC coach Elmar Bolowich said he was encouraged by the seniors’ thoughts, but wasn’t as impressed with how prac tices went. “The realization has sunk in,” Bolowichsaid. “Thisprovidesthemwith a good opportunity to prove themselves. But we have so many players banged up that we were just trying to get through without any more injuries. Asa result, we couldn’t focus properly.” Talley doesn’t think the prospect of winning the tournament is an impossibil ity for the Tar Heels. UNC will play Wake in the first round, and would play the N.C. State-Maryland winner in the second round. UNC defeated Wake 1-0 in their pre vious meeting, and lost close games to both State and the Terrapins. “I think we got the best pickpossible,” Talleysaid. “WeknowwecanbeatWake, because we already did. There is no way we should have lost to State, and nobody on the team had a good game against Maryland.” However, Talley said the team isn’t looking past the first round game against the Deacons. He said the team knows they can beat Wake, but isn’t certain that they can easily win again. “They’re gonna try to capitalize on any mistakes we make early and fight hard for the lead,” he said. Both Talley and Bolowich agreed that UNC’s slump could be used in a positive manner. They said that many teams might over look the Tar Heels and what they are capable of doing in the tournament. But UNC can’t wait for other the teams to make mistakes. “Wecan’tcontrolwhatthe other teams do to prepare for us,” Bolowich said. “We have to take care of business. What we do is up to us.” Talley added: “ThereisnoUNCchoke factor. We’re gonna do it. A lot of teams ponents Virginia and Duke, who will meet on Saturday in the first round.

The Tar Heels then went on to blank the Terrapins 4-0 in the final and claim their 13th ACC championship. Last season, North Carolina also started its national championship run at Navy, beating Princeton 6-0 in its second round matchup before traveling to Win ston-Salem and competing in the final four. Caminiti set Padres records with 40 homers, 130 RBIs and a .621 slugging percentage, and led the NL during the second half in average (.360), homers (28) and RBIs (81). His most memorable performance came Aug. 18 at Monterrey, Mexico, where the Padres and Mets were playing the first regular-season games outside of the United States and Canada. Battling dehydration and an upset stomach, Caminiti took two liters of in travenous fluid just before the series fi nale, then hit two homers for four RBIs in an 8-0 win over New York. He refused to be sidelined by injuries, including a tom left rotator cuff that required postseason surgery, a right ham string strain, a severe groin strain and back trouble.

Tim Duncan has to be hoping that trend continues. The 6-foot-10 senior center from Wake Forest was one of those four players recognized last season, and on Wednes day he was the only unanimous choice forthis year’s Associated Press preseason team. Duncan, the leading vote-getter on last year’s preseason team, averaged 19.1 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.8 blocks as a junior. He was named on all 68 ballots by a nationwide media panel. Joining him on the preseason All- America team were Utah forward Keith Van Horn, who was named on 63 ballots. Cincinnati forward Danny Fortson (60), Kansas guard Jacque Vaughn (47) and Stanford guard Brevin Knight (43). Van Horn was considered a lottery pick if he decided to leave early after averaging 21.4 points and 8.8 rebounds as a junior, but he, too, chose to return. Fortson, who averaged 20.1 points and 9.6 rebounds last season as a sopho more when the Bearcats fell one game shy of the Final Four, is the lone under classmen on the preseason team. Vaughn, who averaged 11 points and 6.6 assists as a junior last season in lead ing the Jayhawks to 29 wins, tore liga ments in his right wrist in a pickup game in September.
