With nearly 38 minutes elapsed in Saturday's North
Carolina-Cincinnati game, Tar Heel fans enjoying the
perfect football weather in Kenan Stadium were slightly
perplexed, to say the least.
The Tar HeelsTso impressive in three opening wins and as
high as 16th in the national polls, had stumbled to an
uninspiring 1 4-1 4 tie halftime with the underdogs from Ohio.
Almost eight minutes into the third quarter, after a 35-yard
run by Amos Lawrence was nullified by a clipping penalty,
thoughts of last season's 7-3 loss to Miami of Ohio, began to
appear.
It couldn't be, could it? After all, everyone said this year's
team was new and improved. .
But, on the very next play, the Tar Heels with the help of
reserve tight end Mike Chatham proved they really are a
new product. They erased the tie with a 58-yard scoring play
from Kupec to Chatham, were never threatened again and
cruised to ar 35-14 win to improve to 4-0 on the year.
Mike who?
01ft' Worry if the presence -of No 88 "coraiing the
touchdown pass had you a little confused. Don't worry if you
didn't recognize his name. Chatham's biggest claim to
success before Saturday, when he caught three passes for 75
yards, came in last spring's Slue-White intra-squad game.
There, he caught a two-yard TD pass.
Before his long touchdown grab, Chatham had been on the
receiving end of only one pass in varsity play, a 26-yarder
against Army. A week later, he caught what turned out to be
the touchdown which put UNC ahead to stay.
I think they'll (his coaches) have confidence in me to put
me in anytime now," said Chatham, being interviewed by a
group of reporters for the first time as a Tar Heel.
Chatham's story is one of rags to riches or, in his case, from
little to big.
Chatham, now a junior in football eligibility, is in his
fourth year of school. He played jayvee ball in 1976 as a
freshman and took a year off when he-was red-shirted in
1977. Then-coach Bill Dooley told Chatham he was too small
to be a college tight end.
"I was 6-2, 175, when 1 came out of high school," Chatham
said. I was too small. They told me I needed to gain some
weight and-get stronger. I accepted it (being red-shirted).
Brooks Williams and Mike Finn were ahead of me then
anyway, and I knew if I was going to play at tight end in
college football I would have to get stronger."
If his exploits in Saturday's game are an indication, the
time off helped but not immediately. The Elkin native, who
played there with UNC place-kicker Jeff Hayes, also spent
last season on the jayvees.
He started this fall as a third-string tight end and was listed
as No. 2 behind Shelton Robinson for the Cincinnati game.
Chatham, now 6-2, 205 pounds, said he lifted weights over
the summer to build up his body and also did some running
to improve his quickness.
Although his touchdown catch put him in the spotlight
temporarily, Chatham is not ready to declare stardom for.
himself. " '

"I just happened to be open," he said of the long
touchdown play. "Matt is such a good quarterback. I was
supposed to be on a hook pattern over the middle. I just
broke it deep when he got in trouble."
Kupec rolled left on the play, looked over his receivers and
then lofted the spiral to Chatham, the last receiver he looked
for.
"I was going to Wayne Tucker," Kupec said. "I saw (split
end) Jeff Grey, then I saw Mike running down the sideline. 1
think it was a very important play. It put us ahead to stay,
and I think it gave us a big lift."
Chatham said he is usually inserted in a game on passing
situations. "Usually Shelton Robinson and Kenny Rogers do
the blocking," he said.
Chatham kept being asked about the touchdown pass.
"He hit me right on stride. It was perfect. It couldn't have
been a better pass."
And it couldn't have been at a better moment for
Chatham, who became the center of attention for the first
time in his UNC career.
The Heels seemed to wake up a little
after that. They moved down to the Cincy
24, where Kupec tossed a sideline pass to
tight end Chatham. The pass fell
incomplete, but defensive back Clark
playing a Jekyl-and-Hyde game leveled
Chatham and picked up a personal foul
penalty, giving Carolina first down on the
12 A completed pass to Chatham put the
ball on the 3. Lawrence got his second TD
two plays later.
But the Bearcats came right back to
burn Carolina on a 53-yard pass to Ralph
Williams, who broke a couple of tackles
on his way into the end zone. The half
ended tied up and the natives restless.
So during halftime Crum put the
players through the ringer, right? Wrong.
There was no yelling or screaming or
throwing of garbage cans How about a
pep talk? Nope. "We just told them to use
common sense," Crum said. "We just
didn't have the concentration we needed
in the first half."
Carolina came out a new team. After a
couple of possession changes, the Heels
started driving from their own 28. From
the Cincy 49, Lawrence swept left to the
16, but a clipping penalty instead put the
ball back to the UNC 42. Kupec, looking
to pass: and scrambling in the backfield,
found tight end Chatham breaking away
from his defender and hit him with a
perfect toss for a TD. The point after
made it 21-14, and Carolina was finally
grabbing the momentum.
"It was a dropback pass," Kupec said.
"I looked for Wayne Tucker, then for the
fullback (Paschal), then for Jeff Grey.
"I started to run, then I saw Mike open.
He had continued his pattern and I got the
ball to him. He has great hands."
Carolina got the ball right back on an
interception by Buddy Curry. Bearcat
quarterback Kapetanis found tight end
Bo Green, but safety Ricky Barden
popped the ball free, and Curry grabbed
his third interception of the year.
Lawrence and Paschal took the ball
from the Cincy 49 to the 1. Lawrence ran
it in for TD number three.
Carolina's final score was a
combination of sweet revenge and
pouring salt in a wound. From the Cincy
22, flanker Farris took off on a post
pattern against cornerback Clark, the
same play that Clark interferred on in the

first quarter. Kupec never hesitated;
Farris got the ball on the 5 and fell into
the end zone. The senior receiver now has
four receptions on the year, all for
touchdowns.
"If the defense is in any kind of
coverage that it might work, I know it's
coming to me," Farris said.
Where does the revenge come in? "1
maybe lost my cool on the penalty,"
Farris said. "I thought I had it, and he
made a last-ditch effort. I mentioned I
was going to get him back."
And why was Farris teamed with
fellow flanker Tucker on kickoffs? "I've
had some experience at running back,"
Farris said. "I guess they put me back
there with Wayne (Tucker) to get some
speed."
"We're still looking for the right
kickoff combination," Crum said. "With
Kelvin (Bryant) hurt, we wanted Amos
out of there."
Lawrence on the day had 143 yards,
right at his NCAA-leading average. The
three touchdowns give him seven for the
year.
Paschal, the team's leading receiver,
didn't catch a pass all day. "We tried to
run them (passes to the running backs) in
the first half," Paschal said, "but the
defensive ends kept locking in on us
coming out of the backfield."
But he was obviously happy to have
sacrificed his receptions for the 100-yard
day. "The coaches called me from the
press box and said I had 89 yards and
asked me if 1 wanted to go back in,"
Paschal said. "1 said just give me the ball
three or four times.
"It's pretty unusual for a Carolina
fullback to get 100 yards."

Friday to up ttyeir conference record to 2
0. The Bulldogs, who were ranked in the
CTjPRP ast year,a,idjnot akie;a set in any
match and most singles matches were
decided early. Only Donna Lies, playing
the No. 2 position, was pushed, winning
over Caroline McA lister, 6-4, 7-6.
"We needed this solid win after being
pushed by Virginia," UNC coach Kitty
Harrison said. "It should build our
confidence evejn more."
Playing No. 1 for the Tar Heels against
the Bulldogs was sophomore Sandy
Fleischman. Fleischman was impressive
in defeating Natalya Smith, 6-2, 6-2.
" 1 feel that I played well considering the
very windy conditions," Fleischman said.
"My game is coming back into its top
form."
In the netters' 6-3 win over Virginia on
Friday, the team looked strong,
according to Harrison. "1 knew Virginia

had a good team, and 1 was happy to beat
them," Harrison said. "We had a good
solid match against them."
The Tar Heels took four of the six
singles matches, then iced the match with
two of three doubles victories.
"Sandy Fleischman played
exceptionally well on Friday," Harrison
said. "She totally dominated her
opponent and won 6-0, 6-2."
In the No. 1 doubles match, Carolina's
Fleischman and Lies lost to Virginia's
duo of Silverman and Stillman, 6-7 (5-4),
6-4, 6-4. However, Harrison said
Fleischman and Lies played outstanding
tennis. "That match was one of the best
matches 1 have ever watched in women's
collegiate tennis," the coach said. "Sandy
and Donna played great."
The Tar Heels now face a busy week
with three matches. Maryland comes to
town Tuesday, with Duke coming
Thursday and Clemson on Friday.
