Coast Conference, 13th nationally in total offense;' quarterback Jim Bob Taylor third in the conference in pass effi ciency (47-71, 66.2 percent); tailback Robert Lavette 13th nationally in rushing (109.3 yards). North Carolina first in the nation in total defense; tailback Ethan Horton 17th in the nation in rushing (103.7 yards per game) .and eighth in all-purpose running. Before Saturday's contest, these stats would have indicated some sort of offen sive battle from the Yellow Jackets. But once ABC switched from Kenan Stadium to The Wide World of Sports, the out come told a different story. The score should have been 27-0 in stead of 41-0, UNC coach Dick Crum said after the game Saturday. So, what happened to the Georgia Tech offense? The Jackets only scraped together 40 net yards rushing in the entire game, with sophomore Lavette only gaining 35 yards for the entire game. In fact, Georgia Tech compiled more total yards on seven punts, 322, than on 49 offensive plays, which netted 137 total yards. All-purpose kicker Ron Rice kicked an average of 46.0 yards on each punt, but he wouldn't have had so many opportu nities if the Ramblin' Wreck hadn't failed National soccer UNC has hard By MICIIAEL PERSINGER Staff Writer The Tar Heel women's soccer team has had little trouble with the teams it has faced this season, jumping out to a 4-0 record, in cluding last Thursday afternoon's 10-1 victory over the club team from Duke University. , They do have one substantial problem, however. It seems that very few teams are willing to play the Tar Heels this year. After last season's total domination of the competition and the 23-0 na tional championship finish, North Carolina is clearly recognized as the top women's soccer program in the nation. That reputation has done more to hinder the Tar Heels than it has to help them this season. To date, UNC-W and Virginia have both canceled their games with UNC in Chapel Hill, and a tour nament at William & Mary; in which the Tar Heels were involved, was also called off. Why the sudden rash of cancellations? The major contributor to the outbreak is thought to be the reduction of the field for the national championship from sixteen teams to four. This year the tournament is under the NCAA flag for the first time, after years under the jurisdiction of the AIAW. Stephanie Zeh, a first team Ail-American last year, believes Ga. Tech "As far as technique is concerned, I'm real happy," Fuller said. "We're coming together now, doing what's expected of us." Since the first game against Pitt, the defense overall is more disciplined and more expert-. enced; combine that with this unit's awesome quickness and you have a team leading the na tion in total defense. "We're really clicking now," outside linebacker Mike Wilcher said. Obviously, it wasn't a pure defensive battle. North Carolina racked up 41 easy points against the worst defensive team in the ACC. Ethan Horton scraped and rambled for 110 yards and Tyrone Anthony rushed for 84 yards. And Bryant, who still hasn't fully re covered from the ankle injury that kept him out of last week's Army game, rushed for 55 yards. Stankavage, subbing for the injured Rod Elkins, spent most of the game handing off to Horton and Anthony, but still managed to complete five of nine passes for 75 yards. Game ends in scoreless tie UNG By MICIIAEL DESISTI Staff Writer The UNC men's soccer team outshot, outhustled, and just plain outplayed fourth-ranked Virginia Sunday in Chapel Hill. But unfortunately for the Tar Heels, and fortunately for their op ponents, the fact that they didn't outscore the Cavaliers is what's going down in the books, as the two teams played to a 0-0 tie in overtime. Wahoo goalkeeper Steve Baer was forced to come up with more saves in 90-plus minutes of play against the 14th-ranked North Carolina team than he. had in all eight of his previous games this season combined. "My defense has been good to me all year, they've always been dependable," Baer said. "Today I gave them the support they've given me all season long." And more. Baer had a total of 15 saves coming into Sunday's game and he left with 32, and his seventh shutout of the year. But probably the game's most important save was made neither by Baer or Tar Heel keeper Bruce Talbot, who made three saves of his own in recording his sixth shutout of the year, dropping his already low goals-against average of 0.72 per game a few more decimals. . That award would have to go to the Virginia back who headed out Mark Devey's desperation floater with 15 seconds left in the second overtime period to secure the scoreless deadlock. After UNC forward Tony Johnson and Baer collided while fighting for a loose ball just outside the penalty area, Devey wound up with an opportunity at an open goal from 40 yards. Or so it seemed. "I thought it was in," said Devey, the Tar Heel's current leading scorer with five goals and seven assists on the season. "I put it high enough, too." High enough to clear the mass of players directly in front of him, but not the Wahoo player standing in the goalmouth. Devey maJc a surprise appcaiaiicc leu minute iiuo me second to get its offense in gear. "Our kicking game was the best it's been," Rice, a junior at Georgia Tech, said. "As far as coverage, our punting was worse. It's tough (to punt) when all you see is light blue coming at you." And indeed, Rice did not have ade quate coverage from his defensive line as time and again the Tar Heels broke through and applied pressure to the kicker. "After UNC destroyed Army, they were ready to be upset. We thought today would be the day they would be upset, coming off two big wins." Ron Rice Ga. Tech Kicker "We thought we could do a reasonable job on defense and stay in the game but we didn't," Tech coach Bill Curry said. When they needed it, the pass and kick ing protection just wasn't there. Rice kicked a 57-yard punt in the third quarter and a 54-yard punt at the end of the first half to boost his average, but with an opportunity to put Georgia Tech on the scoreboard, Rice missed a 33-yard field goal attempt that went wide to the left with 4:17 reniaining in the first quarter. champs get the cold shoulder; time with season's schedule From pagel And third string quarterback Ike Brady , giving Stankavage a breather in the fourth quarter, rolled for 13 yards on a QB keeper, and then two plays later lofted a 16-yard touchdown pass to a diving Victor Harrison. But it was the North Carolina defense that had the last word. Late in the fourth quarter, Rogers pulled back to pass from his own 32-yard line and fired a pass straight to Poole, who leaped and then bolted all the way to the Tech 1-yard line. Anthony scored from there. Poole had been out of the Tar Heel lineup since the Pitt game because of a pulled hamstring suffered in prac tice, and he saw limited action against Georgia Tech. But what he saw, he liked. "It's always nice, but the interception is usually a bad play by the quarterback," Poole said. "All the receivers curled up; I squeezed up behind them and he threw a bad ball. If he had the ball on a string, he would've pulled it back." struggles with UVa. "I thought it was good, until I looked up," Rice, who sported a 41.6 punting average prior to Saturday, said. . The missed kick broke Rice's string of six consecutive field goals. In Tech's 36-7 win over the Citadel Sept. 18, Rice con nected for five 3-pointers and added another in the Memphis State game. "After UNC destroyed Army, were ready to be upset," Rice said. they "We thought today would be" the day they would be upset, coming off two big wins. We were in the game at the beginning of the second half, then. , ." Rice was the long distance place-kicker for the Yellow Jackets last season, but had never punted for them in a game. For the past two years Rice has played in the shadow of Jeff Pierce, who holds single season and career school marks for highest number of punts, highest average per punt and most yards per punt. "Today (Saturday) was a good day to kick," Rice said. But that's about it. that the cancellations stem from a variety of causes. "All the teams that have canceled out want a chance to make the NCAA field, and they don't want a blemish on their record from a loss to us," Zeh said. "Besides the teams that canceled out, there are teams that won't even play us because of what we did last year," she added. "Connecticut won't play us, even if we go up there, because they don't want to lose." The effect of the lack of game experience could assume two forms. The Tar Heels could be weakened by the lack of games, or they could be twice as devastating when they do finally play because of the pent-up frustrations of inactivity. "Anson thought it was a conspiracy to keep the number of wins and the amount of experience that we have less than that of other teams," Zeh said. She added, however, that "they (the teams that won't play UNC) can't get by us. No matter how many games the other teams win, we will still be ranked ahead of them."' "They will still have to come here and beat us to .get to the NCAAs," Zeh said. "The only thing they can gain is that they will come in here with more experience and then have a hot game and upset us." SCienCG The study also reported that: - ; The UNC program in computer science was among the top 10 percent in the nation as far as the fraction of pro gram graduates who had firm employment commitments when they received their doctorates. The UNC statistics program ranked second in the nation in the number of published articles, and first in the number of published articles per faculty member. The UNC chemistry program was among the top 10 percent of chemistry programs in the United States in the average time students completed the Ph.D. 4.9 years. half, entering the game with a right leg that appeared to consist more of tape than flesh. Devey hyperextended his knee last week in practice, and was not expected to play against Virginia. "Devey walked onto the field like it was his last march, and then the first time he got the ball he almost scored on a breakaway," Cavalier coach Bruce Arena said, apparently uncon vinced of the seriousness of Devey's injury. The freshman forward wasn't the only Tar Heel to make a dangerous run at Arena's goal, however. The list was endless, but the result was a known and dreaded quantity: goose-eggs. Johnson's two chances at the start of the second period were epitomes of UNCs play all afternoon. With 2:34 off the clock just into the final half, Johnson the Tar Heel's all-time scoring leader, took a high ball from midfielder Billy Hartrnan on his chest about 25 yards out on the right, shield ed it from a defender and fired a low drive that skidded past the far post. Less than a minute later, Johnson was one-on-one with goalie Baer, the Cavalier defense thundering at his heels. This time Johnson's shot went over the head of the charging keeper, but cleared the crossbar as well. UNC sweeper back Mike Fiocco voiced his team's frustration with the tie. "It was bad from the back," the 1931 All-ACC pick said. "We saw the over-the-nets and the one-on-ones. . .it was frustrating." - Tar Heel head coach Anson Dorrance summed it up well. "We created some nice chances," Dorrance said. "We didn't finish on them, but we created them." If Virginia, now 8-0-1 on the year, is the fourth best team in the nation, then North Carolina, at 7-0-2, can't be far behind. "We got five teams in the ACC that could play any team in the country on a given day and beat them," Arena said. "But the ball bounces funny in this game." Humor was certainly kind to the Wahoos this weekend. ...- N v. i f 1 u " "i Split end Victor Harrison reaches for six . . .
