V Friday, January 28, 1983The Daily Tar Heel5 tate tonight in crucial wrestling match Heels face S Ward is first UNC senior to sign with USFL i By FRANK KENNEDY ' Staff Writer Chris Ward waited three years to become a starting linebacker for North Carolina's football team. Now he may have to wait only one month before suiting up as a starter for a professional team. Ward, a senior from Cincinnati, became the first Tar Heel to commit to the new United States Football League when he announced Monday that he would sign with the Philadelphia Stars, one of the 12 league mem bers. "I really like the oppor tunities I'll have," said Ward, who will continue his role of inside linebacker with the Stars. Til be able to go right in and start playing. Since everybody comes in as equals. I won't have to compete for my position with a lot of veterans," Ward said. Ward was one of seven UNC seniors drafted by the Stars, who held territorial rights to UNC, Penn State and Temple. Among the other Tar Heels drafted were tailback Kelvin Bryant, guard David Drechsler, linebacker Mike Wilcher, guard Ron Spruill, and defensive back, Greg Poole and Sammy Johnson. ' 6 ! Chris Ward have to withdraw from the University. i . "Eduction has always been a concern of mine," he said. "But 1 definitely plan to come back next fall and finish my education." Each USFL club provides for those players who, leave school, then make the team. Each player re ceives a $2,500 scholarship to complete his graduation requirements, plus his respective university receives a $1,000 check in the name of the player drafted. 'I believe this is the best decision for me," Ward said. "I've always wanted to play professional foot ball, and the fact that I'm going to keep my position (inside linebacker) is also nice." Ward said both head coach Dick Cram and defen sive coordinator Denny Martin were very positive about his decision. Ward was a backup for the Tar Heels until the 1981 Gator Bowl, when he filled in for the injured Lee Shaffer. He was in on 17 hits that night and called the defensive signals, even though he wasn'X playing his natural position. - Ward became more noticeable his senior season while being a regular starter for the first time, leading the defense in tackles with 89 solos and 45 assists. He twice was named the ACC Defensive Player of the Week, and was named to the All-ACC team .1982. Ward made a key interception in the final minutes of the Sun Bowl to preserve a victory over Texjis. Ward said that if he doesn't succeed in thi new league, he would probably pass up the National Foot ball League to finish his education. Two other UNC draftees are in the midst of nego tiating with the Stars. Sammy Johnson, a Reading, Pa. native, was scheduled to leave today for Phila delphia to continue talks with the Stars. "From what Vvr hrd, it sounds like a good Ward plans to leave for training camp by Saturday. Camps open across the league on Monday, Jan. 31. However, the early departure means that Ward will ACC ticket signup announced deal," said Johnson, who added that he would not report to training camp unless a satisfactory contract agreement was reached. Greg Poole, a China Grove, N.C. native, is still waiting for news from the Stars. "I really don't have any idea what I'm going to do right now. If I don't hear from Philadelphia by the end of the week, I guess I'll have to call them myself," he said. One draftee does not have a difficult decision to make. Offensive guard Ron Spruill, who suffered a broken leg on Nov. 13, will pass up the USFL's offers since he has yet to complete rehabilitation. Although Spruill said he planned to enter the NFL, he does believe the USFL will be a prosperous league. "They've got the television contracts and they've sign ed a lot of their first-round draft choices, so I think they'll do pretty well," he said. The USFL will feature a 108-game schedule, be ginning March 6 and concluding the 18-week regular season on July 3. The league championship game is slated for Sunday, July 17. Most of the league members will be featured on na tional television every week, with ABC covering games primarily on Sunday, and ESPN on Saturday and Monday. The league is composed of three divisions of four teams each. The Atlantic Division will consist of tEe Boston Breakers, New Jersey Generals, Philadelphia" Stars and Washington Federals. The Birmingham Stallions, Chicago Blitz, Michigan Panthers and Tam pa Bay Bandits will play in the Central Division. The Arizona Wranglers, Denver Gold, Los Angeles Ex press and Oakland Invaders will make up the Pacific Division. By MICHAEL PERSINGER Staff Writer The No. 18 North Carolina wrestling team will meet the 4th-ranked Wolfpack of North Carolina State tonight at 7:30 in Carmichael Auditorium in what UNC coach Bill Lam calls "the biggest match in the ACC this season, and possibly the biggest match on the East Coast. "For the past few years, the team that has won the ACC regular season in dual matches also has won the tourna ment, so this is an important match in that respect," Lam said Thursday. "Both of these teams are always among the strongest in the Southeast, so this match is also important for the national rankings, as well as recruiting." 118 Al Palado (UNO vs. Steve Love or D3 Starke (NCSU) "Pacio and Starke battled all through high school," Lam said. "Both went to Long Beach (N.Y.) High School, and both won state titles there. If those two meet, it will be a heck of a battle. We should be favored Over Love," Lam ad ded. 126 John AumiHer vs. Rickey Negrete "This is the first time Aumiller has wrestled in the State match, and Negrete has been there before, so they have the edge. It should still be a close match," Lam said. 134 Leo Palado vs. Vince Bynum "This match will be a good one if Leo is healthy," Lam said. "If Leo isn't well, then we'll go with Darren Phillips. They ' will have the edge if we go with Phillips." ' 142 Matt King or Randy Lowery vs. Kurt Wentz "If they use Wentz, we willYiave the advantage, but if they bring (Steve) Koob down from 150, we will have a tough time," Lam said. 150 Tim Plott vs. Steve Koob "This will be a close match, probably decided by one or two points either way," Lam said. "This match could be a turn ing point." 158 Tad Wilson vs. Chris Mondragon "Mondragon is the defending ACC champion, so we will have to work hard not to get a superior decision," Lam said. "Wilson will fight him all the way, but I think he still lacks the experience to win." Wilson is a freshman. ,167 Bi3 Gaffney vs. Craig Cox "Cox beat Jan Michaels in the ACC. finals, but Michaels beat him in the dual match," Lam said. "We might have to win this one. If we win three matches before this one, we will be OK, but if we have only won two, we will have to win." 177 Jan Michaels vs. Greg Fatool Fatool beat Bob Shriner here. last year by two points after Shriner had led the entire match. "Michaels (two-time all ACC and all-Am erican) usually wrestles at 167, but we feel that his experience will help him," Lam said. 190 Bob Shriner vs. John Connelly "We will have to win this one," Lam said. "Shriner is hav ing an excellent year, but this will still be a tough match." Heavyweight Tom Gorry or Tony Lasalandra vs. Tab Thacker "In this one, we couldn't beat them with a gun," Lam said. "Thacker weighs over"400 pounds" and is probably the best heavyweight wrestler on the East Coast." The score of the match at the time will determine whether the Tar Heels go with Gorry or Lasalandra. ; fSOCETY ACC Tournament ticket signup time has ar rived.
