Heels in a zone defense, Page hit a pair of
jumpers from the outside, the last at the
5:45 mark to put the Wolfpack up 60-56.
When the three Tar Heel starters
returned with 5:33 to play, North
Carolina switched to man-to-man defense
for the final assault.
"We felt we Could keep it steady with
those three out," Alley said. "We've used
the bench all year, and we have confi
dence in them. We switched from zone to
man-to-man when they came back in
because they were killing us with outside
shooting."
After scoring just two points in the first
half, the Wolfpack's leading scorer, Lin
da Page, poured in 19 second-half points,
including eight during the streak that gave
the Wolfpack the lead, to take scoring
honors with 21. Leake led the Tar Heels
with ,18, while Hammond added 16.
Brown, the ACC's leading scorer coining
into the game, finished with 12.
UNC coach Jennifer Alley said she had
no play set up for the game's final
seconds.
"I told them that whoever got the re
bound and could dribble should go down
and shoot it," Alley said. "We just told
them that whoever got it should take it
the length of the court and shoot it. The
ball handler had to take it all the way.

the ball up the court with speed, but the
real competitive edge was there and the
pressure was there. That was all natural.
There was no thought involved."
Leake agreed.
"I wasn't really thinking about
anything," she said. "I was coming up
the court and I looked over at (UNC
assistant) Kevin (Kane) and he said, 'Go
down and shoot,' so I just went down
and shot it. It felt good and it went in."
"We've run so many sprints that I
know it takes five seconds to get down
the court. I knew I'd have at least a se
cond or so to shoot, so I didn't rush my
shot.
"I was behind the goal when I shot it,"
Leake added. "I practice those all the
time, but they never go in. But I was concentrating-
so hard it didn't really
matter." .
The Tar Heels' 4-0 mark in the ACC
includes victories over Maryland, Virginia
and N.C. State, all three of which have
been ranked in the Top 20 this season.
Still, North Carolina has yet to appear in
the polls.
"I don't know what it will take to get
us in the polls," Alley said. "The poll is a
very prestigious thing, but it's also a very
frustrating thing. Right now we are work
ing just for self-pride. This win definitely
gives our team a reaffirmed belief that
they are a good team."

Perkins lets
By ROBYN NORWOOD
SUfT Writer
It's hard to tell just who is going to
have the toughest time keeping up with
Sam Perkins' newfound emotionalism
opponents or TV cameramen who have
to chase those flailing 41-inch arms.
Midway through the second half of
North Carolina's 70-62 victory over
Wake Forest Saturday, Perkins was sent
sprawling to the floor. But instead of
pulling himself up slowly from the court
in a move as typical of Perkins as his left
handed jump hook, the 6-9 senior
jumped up, swung his arms around and
let out a whoop.
"I was trying to flatten their emotional
momentum," Perkins said"I thought
that was the first big play. I got fouled
and I couldn't believe we got the three
point play."
Perkins had 17 points and 1 1 rebounds
in the win over Wake Forest and scored
26 points against Maryland at College
Park earlier in the week to take ACC
player of the week honors for the second
week running.
Perkins said he didn't just sit down and
decide to play with emotion. "I think it's
that the games are more intense. Teams
are coming at us even more, I guess."
So. Perkins has replaced his somewhat
lethargic "old style" he likes to call it
"passive intensity" with the New
Emotionalism.
"I guess it was always a quiet 10 points
or a quiet 20 points," Perkins said. "I
tend to look at the (video) tape (of the
game) and I feel I'm not in the game. I
tend to see what other people see."
What other people have been seeing in
UNC's last five games is a lot of Sam
Perkins. He has made 44 of 62 field goal
attempts and 29 of 33 free throws since
the Tar Heels' victory over St. John's
Dec. 29. And he's pulled in 43 of
something he likes more than a dunk and
almost as much as shooting his hook: re
bounds. "I like rebounding and getting it to the
guards," Perkins said. "I guess
sometimes people think I say strange
things."
Perkins' quiet court demeanor reflects
his background. "People always say you
should be seen and not heard," he said.
"I've always kept that in mind."
The way I was brought up I just kind
of kept to myself I used to go out and
ride my bike and take long trips,"
Perkins said.
Perkins lived in Brooklyn until he was
a high school junior, when he moved to
Heels try to avoid let down
From staff and wire reports
The top-ranked North Carolina Tar
Heels take on the Virginia Cavaliers at 9
tonight in Carmichael Auditorium in a
game to be telecast by ESPN.
"I'm certainly concerned about a let
down," said UNC coach Dean Smith.
The Tar Heels, 1 1-0, are coming off three
consecutive ACC road wins. "I hope our
players don't start listening to the nice
things people are going to say about us,"
Smith said. "I remember last year when
Virginia opened its ACC season with
three wins on the road. They went home
and we beat them, 101-95."
The Cavaliers are 11-1, the lone loss a
78-72 setback at the hands of Duke.
Virginia has two freshmen in its starting
lineup: 6-9 forward Tom Sheehey (10.8
points per game) and 6-11 center Olden
Polynice (5.9 points a game). Othell
Wilson and Rick Carlisle start at guard
for the Cavaliers, while Jim Miller fills
the other forward spot.
Virginia boasts balanced scoring: four
players are averaging in double figures.
But the high scorer for the Cavaliers,
Wilson is averaging less than 15 points a
game.
Sam Perkins, UNC's leading scorer, is
scoring at a 17.7 points per game clip.
Michael Jordan follows Perkins with a
15.3 average.
Polynice, Virginia's leading rebounder,
averages five rebounds a game. Even
though UVa has held its opponents to
just 57.3 points a game, the Cavaliers will
have to outdo themselves on the boards
to have a chance of upsetting the Tar
Heels, who are averaging 79.2 points a
game.
Tonight's is the first meeting of the two
teams since Ralph Sampson's graduation.
"It's not gonna be less of a rivalry
because of the fact that he (Sampson) is
away," Perkins said.

emotions go
Latham, N.Y. "In New York, people
because there are so many let you have
a private life. In New York they won't
make a big thing.
"Here, if there's a few tickets they'll
do so much to get a little ticket in the
stands. Then they'll realize they spent so
much and maybe the game didn't come
out like they wanted. It's just one of
those things. I won't ever understand."
Neither will a lot of people, Sam. But
what Perkins obviously understands very
well is basketball. And unless The Day
After comes before the day of the NBA
draft, Perkins will be sitting pretty in the
professional ranks come next year.
"I dreamt about it (playing pro ball)
when I was younger," he said. "I was a
(New York) Knicks fan at the time."
Perkins sees something he's familiar,
with in the pros besides good basketball.
"They don't have too much emotion.
They make it look easy, but I know it's a
hard profession."
After he's through with basketball,
Perkins, an RTVMP major, would like to
do commercials, "anything from cat litter
on," he said. But for now, North
Carolina's basketball team is all that mat
ters. And as far as that's concerned Perkins
isn't the only one who's been getting
emotional. "Everybody's been getting ex
cited," he said. I've been having fun
because I know it's my senior year.
Besides intimidating opponents,
Perkins' emotionalism is a way he shows
his leadership. "If I see Matt (Doherty) or
Brad (Daugherty) or Kenny Smith or
Mike (Jordan) get fired up, it gets me
fired up," he said.
"I guess they (the team) are used to
seeing me do nothing. I guess they like it
when I get excited."
Perkins has displayed his fist-clenching
emotionalism for two straight games
now. "As long as you see those teams
coming after us I'll try to do as much as
possible," he said.
Which means the cameramen will still
be trying to chase down those 41-inch
arms. But, Perkins reminds you, "a few
inches here and there reaching a ball
before it goes out of bounds helps.
They're long and they're all right with
me."
Perkins has used his arms in soms fine
and inspired play in the last five
games, scoring 117 points for a 23.4
average in that stretch to remind everyone
that there's only one Silent Sam on the
UNC campus and he never goes
anywhere close to Carmichael
Auditorium.
Georgia Tech freshman guard Bruce
Dalrymple has been named the ACC
rookie of the week for the third time this
season.
Dalrymple, a 6-3, 200-pounder from
New York City, scored 40 points and
grabbed 22 rebounds in three games as
Georgia Tech defeated South Carolina
State and N.C. State and lost to Clem
son. Dalrymple is averaging 14.9 points
and 8.4 rebounds a game.
Earlier, North Carolina's Perkins was
selected the ACC player of the week for
his efforts in the top-ranked Tar Heels'
two conference victories last week.
North Carolina's two-time defending
ACC champion baseball team has been
ranked fourth in Baseball America's
preseason top 10. The Tar Heels have
seven starters in addition to most of the
nation's fifth-rated pitching staff back
from the team that went 42-10 in 1983.
Sophomore catcher B.J. Surhoff, a
member of the 40-man U.S. Olympic
Team was tabbed a first-team preseason
Ail-American by the publication. In addi
tion, junior righthander Scott Bankhead
was named honorable mention All
American. Both were first team All-ACC
players last year and Bankhead was nam
ed honorable mention Ail-American as he
posted a 9-0 record. Surhoff set a new
school record with a .396 batting average.

Fencers disappointed,
asking questions
By MIKE WATERS
Staff Writer
When North Carolina's men's and
women's fencing teams left for the
United States Fencing Association's in
vitational tournament held in Chicago
last weekend they hoped to answer the
lingering question of where they ranked
among the country's more powerful
teams.
After three days of competition with
most of the nation's elite fencers, the
Tar Heels returned with only a few
hints at what they might achieve at the
NCAA tournament and a lot more
questions about themselves.
Is the lack of consistency displayed
by the men in the foil competition go
ing to be a continuing problem?
Senior Amiel Rossabi paced the foil
team with a third-place finish in the in
dividual competition. On Sunday,
however, the foil fencers dropped
all three of their matches.
"It was a disappointing finish,"
coach Ron Miller said. "We fenced
well against Perm State (a 5-0 loss) and
fenced well at times against Illinois (a
5-2 loss), but we fenced poorly with
Northwestern (a 5-3 upset defeat)."
"I was real happy with my perfor
mance, but we didn't perform as well
as we could have," Rossabi said. "To
finish there was good, but I've got a lot
of work to do."
What is one to make of the surpris
ing performance by a sabre squad with
several injured fencers?
The sabre team finished fifth in the
team tournament, losing only to Penn
sylvania in the first match on Sunday.
Lonnie McCullough placed 12th in the
individual competition, followed by
Richard Hoile in 20th and Greg Bur
cher in 23rd.
"I thought he would do a little better
actually," Miller said of McCullough's
finish. "Greg fenced exceptionally well
over the whole weekend."
While Hoile fenced with a nagging
injury, Tony Sharpe was forced to sit
out with his injury.
What happened to the epee team,
considered to be the Tar Heels' most
powerful division?

"It was disappointing that the epee
team didn't get to the team competi-.
tion, I'm sure they would have done
well," Miller said.
Maybe it was the 18-hour drive to
Chicago in just two vans, or perhaps it
was the high level of competition, or
maybe it was just dumb luck, but the
epee squad missed out on the team
tourney by a single touch.
"In the long run it might help us,"
Miller said. "They will work harder
now, since they have something more
to prove."
Can the women's foil continue to do
as well as it did in Chicago, and can it
get better?
This is a tough question to answer,
but there's no doubt that the women
did extremely well at times.
Karen Marnell placed 10th in the
women's foil and Beth McMahon
finished 19th as UNC came away with
fifth-place honors in the team competi
tion. Marnell beat defending Olympic
fencer Jana Angelakis of Perm State,
5-2, in an early round, and later de
feated Sweden's Under-20-national-champion
Pia Albertson of Notre
Dame. Losses to Anne Richter of Ohio
State, who finished second, and Mindy
Wichick of Temple, who placed third,
kept Marnell from moving up a couple
of notches.
The tournament provided North
Carolina with the opportunity to find
out a little about its progress to this
point in the season. And it pointed out
some areas of concern that hadn't yet
been detected.
"Overall we did very well," Miller
said. "We had a legitimate shot at
finishing first.
"Our strongest weapon (epee) didn't
qualify for the team tournament, and
in foil we didn't fence well in the team
matches."
North Carolina travels to Raleigh
tonight to challenge N.C. State in a
dual meet. It should be a good match,
judging from State's win over Duke in
December. Miller will be looking at a
whole different set of questions than he
was just a week ago.
