Monday. October 9. 1978 The Daily Tar Heel 5 rm STBS ar Heels look f oir answers 5 1 T ,4 MM No, 12 Mainland otill tops in ACC By BILL WELCH Associated Press U riter were learned about Conference football Two things Atlantic Coast Saturday. One is that Maryland, after a year without the ACC title, wants it back and is headed on a collision course with the remaining top contender. Clemson. The other is that North Carolina, defending champion in the ACC. has big. big troubles. The lessons came as I2th-rankcd Maryland blasted N.C. State out of its undefeated streak and No. 20 national ranking, thrashing the Wolf pack with lightning speed in the second half for a 31 7 conference win. Carolina, its troubled offense seemingly growing worse, found itself embarrassed 7-3 by Miami of Ohio for the Tar Heels' third straight loss. The win left Maryland. 5-0 and 2-0 in the ACC, atop the league's standings and owning the only unbeaten record. Duke is in second with a 1-0 league mark, followed by N.C. State and Wake Forest at 1-1. Maryland 31. N.C. State 7 "We got beat by a good football team." State coach Bo Rein observed. "We'll never know how good, because we didn't challenge them." State, now 4-1. drew within a field goal of Maryland in the third quarter, but was shelled by two straight Terp touchdowns within 24 seconds of the State touchdown. Tailback Steve Atkins returned a kickoff 98 yards for, a touchdown, and on the ensuing kickoff State's Dwight Sullivan fumbled and Maryland's Steve Trimble recovered in the end zone for another score ending the Wolfpack's chances. "Everybody has been kicking away from me recently and I just said to myself you've got to get that ball one time," Atkins said. "It was really Don Dotter's ball, but 1 backed up and took it away from him. As soon as 1 caught it, I saw I could go all the way.' Atkins ended with 132 yards rushing while State's bruised Ted Brown gained 78 yards on 19 carries but did not start. Clemson 38. VPI 7 Quarterback Steve Fuller played his usual game: two touchdowns, nine of 15 passes for 128 yards and another 106 yards jjish m, ,p rorn p ting Coac h Cha r ley f Pell to call him "tne best quarterback in the country." The other half of the Tiger tandem, Jerry Butler, caught seven passes for 103 yards and set a school record for career reception yards -1.603. "Jerry Butler was nothing short of great today," Pell said. "He's tremendous." Clemson, now 3-1, begins its conference schedule at Virginia Saturday, and plays all its ACC opponents in a row, finishing with Maryland Nov. 18. Duke 20. Virginia 13 Virginia scored on Duke with a halfback pass, but were stopped when they kept trying it again, as Duke managed to shake off a 52-0 shellacking - of the week before at Michigan. "1 am pleased with the victory," said Blue Devil coach Mike McGee. "Virginia has a good football team. They kept their plays and executed them well. I thought our defense played relatively well." Duke is now 3-1 and is at Navy Saturday. Virginia dropped to 1-4 and meets Clemson. Purdue 14. Wake Forest 7 Wake Forest's defense kept the Deacons close all day, but the offense managed only 42 yards on the ground. Wake, 1-4, got its only score on a 9 yard run by James McDougald and held a one-point lead briefly in the fourth quarter before Purdue scored on Russell Pope's 2-yard run.

Ohio, that was good but not thai uood. and 1 ar Heel tuns from the richest stockbroker to the drunkest 1 ratty bagger were savin u what thev thought ol the game and ol Carolina s performance": Boo. And Boooooooooo. ' UNC running back Doug Paschal w as minding his own business and sauntering toward the dressing room at the time when suddenly he stopped and turned tow ard the crowd. With a vengeful look on his sweaty, dirty face. Paschal ye lied word s to the effect that ii the fans didn't know w here thev could go. he personally would tell them exactly wher e they could go and what they could do w ith themselves once thev goMhere. '"They aggravate me no end." Paschal said a lew . minutes later. "1 can't understand . how they can pull for us when we win and turn their backs on us when we loscWe don't need that. 1 wish they'd save their S8 if they're going to be like that. The fans tick me off. There's no need for that. I know it's just a few. but 1 . wish someone would slin them or something." Paschal was not arguing that the fans didn't have a legitimate gripe. He and a hundred other players and nine coaches know all too well there hasn't been much to cheer for this fall. Doug Paschal was simply very; very frustrated. And mad. And confusecl. And liable to plant his fist in the nearest locker or ntose if he was pushed too far. -One easily could guess that Milwaukee would be much more famous in se veral hours after Paschal had an opportunity to unleash his emotions. "Yes. I'm very upset,'' he said. Paschal is by no means the best running back to ever play at Carolina. But he battles for the yard s he gains as hard as anyone who's ever taken a handol f in Kenan Stadium. He rushed for 63 yards on 1 4 carries Saturday (UNC's best) from an offense that at times was a veer, at other times an 1 and nearly all the time no good. "I know we're going to get better. I know we are, " he said. "But you've got to wonder when the hell we're going to jell. The offense has got to get it in their; minds that we're gonna move the ball. We've just got ! to go out there and take it down their damn throats." . The question at this stage of the season is obvious: 1 Why have the Tar Heels, with a wealth of talent returned from last season's Liberty Bowl team, won ' only one game in four starts? The answer is also obvious. Carolina has been unable to generate any offense and the defense, without Dee Hardison, Rod Broadway and Alan Caldwell, is simply not as strong as the one that last season spoiled opposing offenses as well as Tar Heel fans. But the reasons for all of this aren't so apparent. Everyone has his own explanation. "It's certainly not that we're not trying," split end Jim Rouse said. "Nobody wants to win more than we do. A bunch of us were around here three years ago when we were 3-7-1. We know what it's like to lose." LEE PACE ."Offensively we were Hat." Coach Dick Crum said. "We looked like we were on the verge of breaking out of it three or lour times. We just couldn't get over the hump. Right now we're in a . holding pattern. We just didn't improve the way we should have. Well just go back and work on the , fundamentals and stay with w hat we believe-in. We're not about to junk anything or make any radical changes." "The system is much more complicated than it used to be."" free safety Bernie Menapace said. "We're having problems learning it. Like with the veer offense, if one guy misses his assignment it's all over. I I've got a lot more checks and keys and reads on defense now. I'm still learning how to lead the defense." , "We had a great year last year." tight end Bob J Loomis said. "People feel that can carry us through ': games this year. But it can't. We've got to go out and ; win them just like we did last year. Until people realize that, we'll have problems." ' ' Crum has answers, for the moment, at least, to two ' problems that have kept his offense from developing: : Chuck Sharpe is off the bench and Amos Lawrence is ; on it. '. Crum has said for more than a month now that the -freshman Sharpe is Carolina's best quarterback, but : Crum hesitated to use him earlier because of his age. : "You throw a. young kid into a pressure situation," Crum said before last Saturday's Pittsburgh game, ' "and if he does okay, fine. But if he doesn't, it could : 1 wreck him." . . ; But after neither Matt Kupec nor Clyde ' Christensen could move the offense to Crum's liking : in UNC's first three games, the coach decided to go : with Sharpe. "I would imagine he will start the next game," Crum said. ' ' : ' : And although Crum would not comment on the ; performance of Lawrence, who rushed for 27 yards : on 1 1 carries, the coach didn't seem too pleased with" l last season's ACC Rookie of the Year. "We used two -backs in the second half (Paschal and Terence : - Burrell) whp were giving us good effort," Crum said. : Asked if that meant Lawrence was not giving his best I effort, Crum said. "I won't comment on that." Whatever the reasons for Carolina's sluggish per forma nee, Saturday, they've got to be worked out this week. A loss Saturday at Wake Forest and, well, . bar the door, Katie. "This is definitely a crucial veek." Loomis said. "If we can get things going this ' week we'll bekay. If we don't...." Bob Loomis couldn't answer that second part. He. hopes he won't have to. Mofstetter leuds cross c aim try; soccer wins on road- upset From page 1 wide open. I just kept 'thinking 'get the ball to me.'" On the next series Sharpe was intercepted, and all eyes were on the Carolina sideline waiting for somebody, ikher Clyde Christensen or Matt Kupec. to come in and get it going. "1 feel as low as I've ever felt." said Christensen, who played most of the Pitt game and none of the Miami game. "I feel down for the team. To sit there the whole game just kills me. "What we need is to blow somebody off the map." he said. "1 really felt today' would be the day," Sharpe tried all the way. attempting to mount game-winning drives three times in the last five minutes and coming up with nothing. MON.,TUkS.. WED ONLY "109 1010 1011 ., From Staff ndvy ire Reports n-S.i The UNC men's cross country took a step toward national prominence Saturday by placing second behind fourth-ranked Tennessee in the Tennessee Invitational in Knoxville. ' ; The previously unbeaten Tar Heels, paced by the' second-place finish of junior Gary Hofstetter, came within five points of a major upset, losing 48-43. Carolina led the race with less than 500 yards to go but was outkicked. "We had 'em beat with a quarter mile to go." Hofstetter said. "The only reason they beat us was ' because we've had no speed work yet. "When we hit the speed work, people are going to be very surprised," he said. , ' Hofstetter raced head-to-head with Tennessee's top runner, only to be outs printed at the stretch. His time of 24:13 was-five, seconds. -slower than the winner's. . "He beat me in the last 200 yards," Hofstetter said. I didn't take the third or fourth miles hard enough. I guess I was just a bit too conscious of the pace." The women's team finished third behind unbeaten N.C. State and Florida State at the N.C. State; Invitational in Raleigh Saturday. ' - State routed the field, grabbing the first four places in the race. Wolfpack sophomore Julie Shea took individual honors in course record time. Freshman Nancy Radford was Carolina's top finisher for the third straight week, placing eighth, with a time of 18:37 on the 5,000-meter course. UNC coach Hubert West called the Wolfpack "a sure bet to win the ACC." ' Carolina, Virginia and Maryland each will contend for second place, he said. John Fernandez and Hugh Bennett scored first half goals Saturday to pace Carlina to a 2-0 soccer .victory over the High Point Panthers in High Point. The win raised the Tar Heels' season mark to 6-1 -2: Carolina faces UNC-Greensboro at 4 p.m. Wednesday on Feter Field. Fernandez, scored first on a shot to the lower right corner of the net which slipped by the High Point goalie. Glenn Harris assisted on the play. Bennett's goal came on a header off a Fernandez corner kick. "It was pretty much our game." UNC coach Anson Dorrance said. "But we did have more chances to score than we demonstrated." UNC outshot High Point 25-1. . i. iiiuti jr.tm i .i f ; , i- vi,f m sk. vn,n;Ue'liNX."Fieldn.ocke.teiHn made ajaJumtiSeW Showing" in Roanoke. 1 Va.. last weekend: bating Kalamazoo and Roanoke, and losing to F.asiein Kentucky and VPI.' The weekend moved the Heels' record to -3. one which Coach Dolly Hunter considers mediocre, "This team is like night and day," Hunter said. "We can be the best teamNin the world one day and totally different the next." The Tar Heels played like "the best team in the world" in only one of their games last weekend, delivering a 7-0 shutout to Kalamazoo. "We played perfectly." Hunter said. "We looked like a national caliber team. It was exciting to "see every player playing her best." Bashi Buba led the Heels with four goals against the Michigan school, while fellow forwards Laurie GinterAnn. Donio "and Laura Bauman each added scores in the romp. The Heels also beat Roanoke, although less convincingly at 4-2. with three goals by Donio and one by Bauman. The Tar Heels defeats came in their first and third , games of the series against Eastern Kentucky, 1-0 and VPI, 2-1, with Buba scoring the lone goal. "I think we learned a lesson this weekend." she said. "When it comes to the state tournament well know we have to give it all we have." The team plays at High Point Tuesday against a team known for its aggressiveness and eagerness to Sports Women's golf in Lady Seminole InvitationaPat Florida State play.

I ar Heel coach Beth Miller said. "We had had a couple of bad matches lately and we needed this win." 1 it the first game of the match the Tar Heels had trouble getting started, falling behind early "It seemed like it took us a long time to get warmed up." Miller said. "We were also hitting a lot of serves out of bounds." Once the Heels did "warm up" however, they were very hard to stop. Guilford seemed to be able to do nothing right as Carolina led by an 8-0 score at one point iin the second game to win handily. The Tar Heels played much better overall in the third game of the match, running up a 12-1 advantage at one point in the contest. "I thought we played much better in that game," Miller said. "We were getting good passes and we didn't sniss a serve in the game." The Tar Heels dominated the fourth game of the match, taking an early 7-0 lead. Guilford could not seem to get the plays they got in the first contest as the Heels won the match easily. Carolina, now 8-4. faces Louisburg College Tuesday in an away match.
