In years to come, when present UNC
students sit around the fireplace telling
about the time a fired-up bunch of Pirates
invaded Kenan Stadium, Oct. 25, 1975 may
be remembered as the day East Carolina
University finally succeeded in joining the
big-time.
After years of clamoring for recognition as
an athletic power. East Carolina may have
finally joined the competitive ranks of the
Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC),
figuratively if not literally speaking, with a
38-17 upset of North Carolina Saturday
before 42.000 disbelieving Tar Heel fans.
The loss itself wasn't so hard- to believe.
ECU has always regarded Carolina, along
with N.C. State, as its biggest rival and was
riding a wave of enthusiasm after an
impressive 42-14 w in over Western Carolina
the week before. Meanwhile the Tar Heels
were coming off two tough losses in a row, to
N otre Dame and N .C . State. They figured to
have trouble getting up mentally for the
Pirates. It was the manner in which the loss
was inflicted that caused many heads to
shake throughout the afternoon.
Operating out of the wishbone formation,
which Georgia Tech used against UNC with
so much success last year. East Carolina
rolled up 403 yards in total offense (370
yards rushing). On defense, the
opportunistic Pirates forced seven turnovers
(four fumbles, three interceptions) and
completely shut off the Tar Heel attack in the
second half, limiting UNC to only 70 yards.
"This was the worst performance by a
Carolina football team since I've been here,"
North Carolina Coach Bill Dooley said
afterward, "and that includes our 2-8 and 3-7
teams of 1967 and 1968.
"I accept full responsibility for our
performance. Our team didn't play well and
that's no one's fault but mine. I expected us
to be a little flat, but I still thought we would
win. It was just a terrible performance. I'm
not taking anything away from East
Carolina, but there is no way that should
have happened."
It appeared it wouldn't after the Tar Heels
scored on their first possession after the
opening kickoff. Carolina marched 70 yards
in 1 3 plays to take a 7-0 lead five minutes into
the game. Tailback Mike Voight, who
carried the ball 1 1 times for 69 yards on the
drive, went over left tackle from one yard out

Netters win
Carolina's women netters upped their
record to 7-1 with a sweep of Florida State
and Furman this weekend in Greenville, S.C.
The Tar Heels edged FSU 5-4 Friday, then
crushed Furman 8-1 Saturday morning.
UNC has two matches left in the fall
season, at home Thursday and Friday
against Duke and Virginia in the two biggest
matches this year. Duke is the only team to
have beaten UNC in the past two years, and
the Cavaliers appear to have a stronger team
than Duke.
Entries for Grail-Mural Basketball play,
w hich begins November 3, are due at 5 p.m.
today in the UNC Intramural Department,
215 Woollen Gymnasium.
The UNC junior varsity soccer team ran
its record to 6-0 Friday with an 8-0 romp
overUNC-Greensboro. The Tar Heels broke
the game open with two minutes before
halftime with three quick goals. Jim
Caporaso scored three goals for the Tar
Heels while Rick Eaton and Paul Brown had
two apiece and David Collier one.

for the score.
But, with UNC alumni, fans and students
settling back in their seats expecting a romp,
East Carolina came right back on a long
drive of its own. Taking the ball 77 yards to
tie the score at 7-7, the Pirates never had to
run a third down play and picked up five first
downs.

FOR ALDERMAN
NOVEMBER 4, 1975
Bill Thorpe has attended 80
of the Chapel Hill Alderman's
meetings in the past two years &
now wants a seat of the Board.
Listen to Bill Thorpe's overall views:
"In observing our town's govsrnmontal scan over
tho past fw years. I am struck by sawaral naads:
tha naed to preserve our town as a nice place to live
and. in so doing make it a better place to live; the
need for direct, forthright communication
between the people, professional and political,
charged with governing, and the students and
other towns-people whom they serve; the need for
efficient, economical government and the need to
build upon and better Implement the efforts of
those who have gone before."

of Thorpe for Alderman)
the rest of the ball game. After a five-yard
run, Voight lost the first of tw o fumbles that
set up ECU touchdowns. ECU free safety
Jim Bolding recovered for the Pirates on the
UNC 19-yard line. On second down,
quarterback Mike Weaver passed to tight
end Clay Burnett in the left flat for an 18
yard scoring strike. The Pirates took the lead
for good, 14-7, with only 10 minutes gone in
the game.
East Carolina added another touchdown
two minutes later, to make the score 21-7,
when Voight fumbled a second time (Voight
later explained his belt broke in the first
series, and he was trying to hold up his pants
while running.) But after his turnover,
freshman halfback Eddie Hicks raced 53
yards for a touchdown on the next play.
The Pirates had scored three touchdowns
within 6:35 minutes of each other.
After a series of exchanges, the Tar Heels
scored their only other touchdown of the day
a six-yard Voight burst over the left side
with 5: 12 remaining in the first half. The key
plays in the 80-yard drive were a third down
pass from quarterback Billy Paschall to
wingback Mel Collins for 10 yards and a
three-yard run by Voight, behind fullback
Tony Mills block, on fourth and one on the
ECU 26.
The Tar Heels' final three points of the day
came on Tom Biddle's 32-yard field goal
with 22 seconds left in the half. Carolina got
another chance to score when Willie
Hawkins fumbled on the ECU kickoff
return, and Biddle recovered on the Pirates'
41 -yard line with 14 seconds remaining.
Sophomore Johnny Stratton, who replaced
Paschall at quarterback, completed a 16
yard pass to tight end Brooks Williams on
the ECU 25, but Biddle's 42-yard field goal
attempt with one second showing was wide
left.
Though down 21-17 at halftime, the Tar
"But I said a lot of people who wouldn't
come to another show would come to this. It
started almost as a joke."
The CRT, a four-year-old professional
theatre group in North Carolina, presents
"Illustrated Sport" at 8 p.m. October 31 and

"Take Me Out to the Ball Game," "Casey at
the Bat," the Greek Olympics, the "Battle of
the Sexes" between Bobby Riggs and Billie
Jean King, and an excerpt from Ernest
Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea."
"I don't know of anything like this show of
ours," said Hardy. "There are items that
glorify sports, items that make sports seem
ugly, and items that make fun of sports.

Heels were expected to regroup and turn
back the fired-up visitors from Greenville.
But the Pirates took the second half kickoff
and in only seven plays went 80 yards to up
their lead to 28-17. The big gainer was a 43
yard run by fullback Raymond Jones to set
up the score.
East Carolina's last touchdown came on a

Kenny Strayhorn. A Paschall fumble had
given the Pirates the ball on the UNC 13.

Why a mixture of theatre and sports?
Hardy said both deal with performance.
"My feeling is theatre people and people who
are jocks think they shouldn't be together.
Too many things in the world are exciting. 1
don't think things in life are mutually
exclusive. .
"Excitement. Nothing could be more
dramatic than the baseball game last night,"
he said, referring to a World Series game. "It
was every bit as exciting as Hamlet. It has
suspense, drama and the ability to lose
yourself in the action."
Actors and athletes are very much like,
Hardy said. "The actor performs for the
public. It's not unusual that a lot of athletes

One example is the late Brian Piccolo in a

Duke placed five runners in the top scen
finishers and Blue Devil Robby Perkins was
the individual victor, leading his team to its
1 Ith state cross country title Saturday with
an amazing score of 19 points.
UNC was a distant second with 68 points
while N.C. State's 84 points placed them
third out of the eleven teams competing.
In a cross country meet, the lowest score

the second two. etc. Only the top five runners
on a team can score.

junior pulled away on the final loop. B num
Mcrritt overtook King in the final stretch to
finish second behind Perkins.
Duke's outstanding performance in the
meet established it as the favorites to win
next week's Atlantic Coast Conference
(ACC) crown in College Park. Md. Despite
this. Tar Heel captain Dave Hamilton
contends that Carolina is still preparing for
the ACC meet. "We ran a good solid race,
one of the better team performances in this
meet that I've seen since I've been here." he
said. "Of course you're happier if you win
but if you get just plain beat all you can do is
go back out and do the best you can. This
meet should be good preparation for next
week."
The Tar Heels strategy this year has been
to approach each meet low key with hard
workouts up to the day of the meet.
Hamilton said this week the team will cut
down on mileage and run speed workouts.

I'd like to think the athlete will recognize
some truths about himself.
