The doubles will be Brock-Dixon, Garcia-Hassler and a combination of the latter three. "I am looking forward to the season," Coach Skakle said. "I think the Madison trip (NCAA Indoor Championships) set us up for a good season and the guys are eager to get going.

"1 decided to go to the school 1 liked the best and could get the most out of both as a student and after graduation. Carolina was what I was looking for," he said. There was an option written into his scholarship allowing him to play basketball, but football proved time demanding. "College football is like a job," he said.MIt is a lot harder than high school, and you play all year long.. In high school, you are with your friends having a good time playing Conference (ACC) and North Carolina schools will take part in this year's tourney, with television coverage, varsity uniforms and a banquet to give it marks of big-time college basketbalb While the Air Force relies upon its quickness, the Navy players emphasize the inside game.. Forward John Bosca and 6-4 player John Lockwood are the heart of the Navy attack. Both are good shooters, strong rebounders and aggressive defensive intimidaters. Keying a Chi Phi team is 6-1 senior guard Steve Harris, with 6-5 Tim Blackburn and Wayne Morris on the boards. Roy Lake and Andy Harris even out the starting five.

Chacos, a psychology major, did find time at Carolina to be a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and of Phi Delta Theta fraternity. When asked if football was worth the price he had to pay, Chacos hesitated and said, "I look back at my football career and just smile. It was the greatest time of my life. From my experiences, I feel that I've got an edge over other people because I know my mental and physical capabilities. It helped me learn a lot about myself and to mature. "There were some downs with the ups. The biggest problem I see with football is those kids who come with high expectations and then don't play. Sometimes it can have disastrous mental effects." Did he ever consider quitting? "At one time or another every major college football player thinks of quitting. 1 was no exception," he said. "After my junior year, 1 was really discouraged but so were a lot of other people." That season the Tar Heels had gone 4-7, and Chacos had played little. Highlights Two events in his football career stand out in Chacos' mind as the most satisfying. "Beating State the way we did this year (33-14) was very sweet," he said.

" The women travel to Charlottesville Va. this weekend for the Virginia Women's Invitational. The men will begin tuning up for the prestigious Martini-Rossi International Invitationals to be held in New York City, March 21-23. Ten UNC fencers have been extended invitation's to participate. Along with captain Jim Scott and sabreman Rick Killian, All-ACC performers Jim Krause, Ron Pichler (foil); Alan Knight, Charlie Brown, Kevin Gallagher (epee); Travis Hanes, Thurbert Baker, and AJ. Keane (sabre) are planning to make the trip. Chacos had an interesting response when asked about attending Carolina as a "jock." "Football players don't get a fair shake many times," he said. "For instance, teachers consciously or unconsciously evaluate students socially. If a kid is under this jock image he has a tougher time making an A" or a B" because he is not expected to. It is myth about teachers doing favors about athletes." Teammates How a man is judged by ihoc he lives and works with perhaps best describes his character and abilities. All teammates and coaches interviewed spoke highly of him. "Chac is a super guy," said graduating split end Pat Norton. "He is friendly and considerate to everyone. On the field, he always hustled and he had a lot of natural ability. I remember him best for always really trying for passes in practice as well as games." Perhaps head coach Bill Dooley put it best. "Andy provided our football team with leadership when we needed it most. He was a real unifying force. I have the utmost respect for him as a player and an individual t":he rsaid;"' Although Chacos' football career is over, his athletic and personal contributions to Carolina will not be forgotten.
