f 1 J j ; i s Turkey Trot set Thursday Be a turkey. Being called a turkey is usually not very pleasing. Most persons can't stand it. But for once, try it. Playing the role of ad turkey can reap rewards. The second annual Turkey Trot, a cross country run of two miles over the Gimghoul Road course near campus, is set for 4 p.m. Thursday. There is no entry fee and participants can enter in the intramural office in Woollen Gym or at Carmichael Field before the Turkey Trot gets started Thursday afternoon. The Turkey Trot receives its name because it takes place just a week before Thanksgiving, and because turkeys, not trophies, will be awarded as prizes. In short, it's an ideal opportunity for winning a Thanksgiving bird. intramurals By BILL FIELDS Turkeys will be given to winners in the following categories: the first man to cross the finish line, the first woman, the first person over 40 years of age and the first teams of four men and four women, respectively. Don't fret if you're not a star distance runner because there is always the hope of finishing last, and the last person in the Turkey Trot will get a goose egg. Assistant Intramural Director Marty Pomerantz, who is in charge of the race, said he is enthusiastic about the turnout for the Turkey Trot after seeing 75 persons enter the race last year. "I am looking forward to seeing around 100 runners in this year's race," Pomerantz said. "Last year we had a good turnout and I expect it to go up this time." The initial Turkey Trot was captured by a law student, Fred Borch. Borch's team, "The Munchies," won the male team title. No official time was kept, but Pomerantz said he believes it was around 10 minutes, and he said he expects the time to be about the same this year. The race course starts at Carmichael Field, winds out on the Gimghoul Road then circles back toward campus for the finish at Fetzer Field. The Turkey Trot layout will feature both paved streets and dirt paths, and Pomerantz said he thinks that such variety in the course is good. Last year's Turkey Trot attracted around 20 members of the Carolina Godiva Track Club which added interest according to Pomerantz. But he said he is hoping to counteract their absence by having many of the faculty and staff members enter the race. Having the faculty and staff members in the race is unique for a Carolina intramural eventnrbecaujfe j. except for a? few - other activities, students are the only participants. But Pomerantz said he wants to see the faculty in the race and he said he believes that there are some good runners in that group. "The race is ideal for those who jog for a hobby," Pomerantz said. "There will be some experienced runners in the field, but every runner,, regardless of ability, should have someone to run with." The intramural office has announced two changes in the schedule of those events. Grail Mural will begin on Nov. 21 not Nov. 29 as scheduled. The intramural swimming meet has not been rescheduled. The intramural wrestling tournament began on Tuesday and is in progress with the final matches set to begin Thursday at 6 p.m. There were 260 wrestlers entered, an increase from last year. Ann Dillard has won the women's singles tennis championship in the white division by beating Debbie Newton, 6-0, 6-2. She advanced to the finals with a win over Brenda Boyete. Entries close Friday, Nov. 18 for swimming and Grail Mural basketball, both all campus activities. f- ' 4i tj f IT"! I . - . i fssws j $ 4 v V. Ay , 1 1 V' if. - ''-- pv f t If ..' Dunn and Duke offense to challenge Tar Heels Wednesday. November 18, 1977 The Daily Tar Heel ' 7 Tar Heel coach Bill Dooley says his team isn't concerned about bowls. "If we win Saturday, the bowls will take care of themselves," he said. Staff photo by Joseph Thomas. ' 1 By LEE PACE Assistant Sports Editor The newspersons showed up in large numbers at M ike McGee's weekly press luncheon Monday in Durham, not only because of the Blue Devils' game Saturday with Carolina, but just incase McGee might announce his surrender in the year-long battle he's waged with persons from Duke who want him out of a job. But Tuesday in Chapel Hill, it was business as usual as Bill Dooley met the press. Everyone knew what the Tar Heel coach would say before he said it. Dooley, of course, pointed out that the Tar Heels currently have no interest in postseason bowls. All they're concerned with is the game Saturday at Duke. He also lauded the Blue Devils up one side and down the other, particularly quarterback Mike Dunn. And he stressed the magnitude of the Carolina-Duke rivalry, one of the oldest in the nation and one of the fiercest. "There aren't many schools in the nation that have a rivalry with another school seven miles apart," Dooley said. "Our players know their players, they see each other in the off-season. It's always a tough, hard-fought game. It's always very close and highly, highly emotional. There'll be tremendous effort on both sides.". A Carolina win would earn UNC its first ACC football title since I972 and secure a postseason bowl bid, probably for the Dec. 19 Liberty Bowl in Memphis. It might also cost McGee his job, as the injury-riddled Blue Devils would finish with a 5-6 record, several losses short of preseason expectations. But for any of that to happen, Dooley said the Tar Heels' biggest task is to stop Dunn, who is an excellent option runner and a candidate for ACC Player of the Year. "There's no way to stop Dunn. We've just got to slow him down," Dooley said. "We can let him have a field day like he did last year (when Carolina won. 39 38). He went wild last year." Dooley added that the Duke offense would pose the biggest challenge the Tar Heel defense has faced this season. "We haven't faced an offense with the ability to run and throw like Duke and with as good an offensive line as Duke's." Dooley said he expected four injured Tar Heels who played little or not at all against Virginia last week to be ready. They include safeties Alan Caldwell and Bernie Menapace, wingback Mel Collins and offensive guard John Rushing.. The game Saturday is a sellout. 4 f FUN o. W 4 3 f V l-t .-Sf IT!

Bowls could generate lots of $$$ for ACC schools By LEE PACE Assistant Sports Editor The seven members of the Atlantic Coast Conference will receive substantial Christmas bonuses if reports that three ACC football teams will participate in postseason bowls are accurate. Carolina and Clemson are virtually both assured of bids while chances are good that N.C. State will be invited to either the Peach or Tangerine Bowl. And that, besides prestige for the league, means money. Lots of it. The Liberty Bowl, which Carolina is likely to host, and the Gator Bowl, to which Clemson probably is headed, each guarantee participants approximately $300,000. State could expect to make over $200,000 from either the Peach or Tangerine. John Swofl'ord, UNC assistant Athletic director for business, said the ACC operates on a sharing system in which each member school receives a portion of the participating school's bowl paycheck. The participating schools take $ 1 25,000 off the top for expenses and 40 percent of the remainder. The other 60 percent is split equally among the other schools. Last year Carolina netted about $35,000 alter expenses for its Peach Bowl appearance while Maryland's participation in the wealthy Cotton Bowl earned ACC schools $90,000 each. "Most of the bowls are a help financially." Swofl'ord said. "It varies from bowl to bowl how much you take home." Television revenue and ticket receipts are included in the guaranteed payment, Swofford said. "The bow Is with national television contracts with one of the major networks can pay a lot more." The Liberty Bowl is televised nationally on ABC. The Cotton, Orange, 'lose and Sugar bow Is are the four highest-paying bowls giving close to $1 million per team with the Gator and Liberty bow Is next. The money isn't the only reward to bowl teams. The trip itself is an important factor, as well as the national exposure. Bowl participation also helps recruiting. "It helps the entire program to some degree," Swofford said. "Besides just the money, it helps in things you can't measure in financial terms." 7 fencers make finals Carolina placed four women and three men in the final round of competition in the North Carolina Amateur Fencers League of America (NCAFLA) unclassified meet last Saturday in Raleigh. In the women's competition, Cathy Deener was the winner with teammates Pattie Urquhart, Robin Cooke and Beth Forsyth placing fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively. Urquhart tied for first, but finished in fourth place on indicators. In the men's division, John Saunders was second in epee, while Mac Moretzand Keith Herron both advanced into the final round of the men's foil but did not place.
