Tfrt C:.'y Tsr Hit! S 1974 Carolina football O a tonnsfin ran, a "in?- Thuraiiy. Stpisxbtf 5, 1374 5b nice to see you back,.. The UNC physical education department regularly hires graduate assistants to' help coach varsity sports, but when your eye sees Tony Waldrop's name on the list, it stops. Waldrop is the stringy, fair-haired runner, who rushed from virtual anonymity to stardom last winter. He stunned the track world with his string of nine sub-four-minute mile runs and not surprising, set his sights on a California track club after, graduation. It all happened so fast just like his decision to return to Chapel Hill. lt was a rather sudden decision (to return)," Waldrop said Wednesday.! wasn't ' sure of a job in California, and I also wanted a situation where I could continue running myself. Tm anxious to do some things on the track. Nothing new...just run." But the biggest influence, the former Morehead scholar added quickly, was the SI. 000 NCAA scholarship he received last June. "Since I had the money. I thought I would at least go for a year. The possibility of coaching wasn't a main factor but he is happy to have the opportunity. Preparing to coach the middle-distance runners under head coach Joe Hilton. Waldrop won't rely on a coaching philosophy. There is not such a thing. the political science major said. I just hope I can keep them enjoying the sport. And. I do think I have some ideas that might work with some runners, he explained. ! want to sit down and talk with them and advise them. I'd rather be a friend talking (with them). ! knpw this won't work with all runners...because of the, many different personalities." Concerning his own competition, Waldrop said he probably won't ever run in North Carolina again because friends and local people expect so much but of him. This summer Waldrop won the 1,500-meter championship of the British Games, very pleased with his performance. I won because 1 ran a smart race. The time was slow (3:41.9) because everybody started "slow. I was pleased because 1 made my move (to go ahead) later than 1 have before (in a race). But 1 was also disappointed while in Europe," he continued, "because I got sick and had to miss eight or 10 countries and about 7 races I could have run." Here at Carolina while taking a full-course (15-hour) academic load. Waldrop will mainly help during the indoor and outdoor track seasons, but California is still very much in his plans. .. . "Sooner or later .I'm going to go out there," he said. "It's very alluring. 1 guess I'm a little aggravated not to be there now. I'd like to do something different than ever before." : Coach Bill Dooley says the North Carolina Tar Heels will face their toughest opener in five years when the . Ohio University Bobcats invade Kenan Stadium Sept. 14. "Ohio is a veteran football team with outstanding personnel," Dooley said, "and there is no question that this game presents a tremendous challenge to our team." Ohio University returns 18 of 22 starters from a 1973 team which swept four of its last five games and almost upset powerful Miami of Ohio. Miami won. 10-6, and went on to defeat Florida in the Tangerine Bowl. "People tend to think the Mid American Conference is not a powerful football league," Dooley said. "Well, that isn't true, just look at the records. M iami of Ohio beat such teams as South Carolina and Florida last year. Bowling Green goes up and knocks off Purdue. It's that way every season. Recpoct "I have great respect for the Mid American Conference." Carolina has won its last four openers under Dooley. The Tar Heels beat Kentucky,- 20-10, in 1970; toppled Richmond, 28-0, in 1971; whipped Richmond, 28-18, in 1972 and edged i 1 ' - ; ,., 1 J !-. -:..:: 1 J V j I ' I " '' f ' Carolina will try to right itself against Ohio U., Sept. 14 William and Mary, 34-27, last year. Considering this opener, Dooley said, "I think Ohio University is a better team this season than any of these dubs. We've got our work cut out for us." "I've been very pleased with the attitude of this team," the eight-year coach continued." We had a good spring practice and now the attitude seems to have carried over into pre-scason work. I am optimistic because of the mental attitude of the players." Quarterback? Who will start at quarterback for the Heels, who completed regular two-a-day drills last Wednesday, remains a question mark. Now with only afternoon practices, Billy Paschall and Chris Kupec are still battling for the starting slot. "Both are excellent football players," Dooley said. "One day. one player looks the best and the next day. the other fellow comes through better. We'll just have to wait and see." Paschall, a junior, carried the Tar Heels through most of their mid-season games last season when both Nick Vidnovic and Kupec were injured. Completing better than 50 per cent of his passes, (65-1 16), the Virginia Beach native threw for 837 yards and seven touchdowns. He also ran for three touchdowns. Injuries have blemished Kupec's Carolina career, which began with a frosh' season of 48 of 76 pass completions, 806 yards and nine touchdowns. As a sophomore he played behind Vidnovic. Lastseason as a junior he broke his collarbone against M issouri and missed most of the season. n o, a word or two about intramural sports by Jane E. Albright Sports Writer To set the record straight, the Daily Tar Heel unhappily announces that women managers in the intramural program do NOT get paid as the men team managers do. This is in contradictjo.n of" the story we r ran .Tuesday) Wfelstantl corrected-indiass the unfortunate news on to you. Teague and the Sigma Alpha Epsilon blue team will open the tag football season with an exhibition game following the officials' meeting today. Regular season games begin Sept. 9, with entries due at the intramural office by 5 p.m. today. Parallels exist between tag football and regular football with a few important differences. No cleated shoes, padded suits or helmets are allowed because no one does any tackling. "Tackles" are made by a touch. A touch occurs when "a defensive player with at least one foot on the ground touches with one hand an offensive player who has the ball in his possession?'- A valid touch is made above the waist with only the toucher's feet on the ground. Moving the ball down the field involves a series of six downs. If the offensive team hasn't scored in that time, it loses possession of the ball. Also no tie games are allowed. I n case of a tie, each team will alternately play eight downs and the team which has moved the ball farthest from the starting Interested in working with the Union? Come meet the committee chairmen.

Acting as secretary and all-round girl Friday, the sociology major is also an information center for students who have any questions about intramurals. Suzanne may be new to the intramural office, but is "a jock from 'way back" when it comes to intramural participation. She proudly acknowledges her role as catcher on the Parker dormitory Softball team. And from inside the intramural office, there is a good view into Carmichael Auditorium. Suzanne appreciates this when the varsity team is practicing. Another benefit of her job is the home game tickets she gets for her and her husband. Suzanne is just one of the many assets the intramural program has this year, as it expands to meet the needs of Carolina students and faculty. FREE GIFTS!!!
