M t V The fever is back At long last, the off-season traumas can be forgotten. Ma jor league baseball has emerged finally from a winter of uncertainty and controversy. It will be a season of change, but the sport will cope well with any adversity it faces. It always has. It's true that Pete Rose, America's pastime personified, is now playing the game where French is spoken. And Carl Yastrzemski and Johnny Bench won't be playing at all. Peter Ueberroth, who becomes commissioner Oct. 1, has an Olympic-sized task ahead of him once he's through in Los Angeles this summer. The drug problem is still there, still unsolved. Pascual Perez may not be playing baseball this season, but he may be wearing pinstripes for a while. The Braves pitcher is still lock ed up in the Dominican Republic on charges of cocaine traf ficking. And George Steinbrenner is still around, wreaking havoc wherever he treads. Nevertheless, baseball will flourish this year. Almost half a million fans attended the first 12 games of the season. Major league baseball is still No. 1 . Kurt Rosenberg AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST BALTIMORE: The most fundamentally sound team in baseball will win the division again and the American League pennant, too. DETROIT: The Tigers have strong hitting and defense, but questionable pitching. MILWAUKEE: New manager Rene Lachemann will help the Brewers move up from last year's fifth-place finish. TORONTO: A team with great potential. The youthful Blue Jays are still a year or two away, though. NEW YORK: Goose Gossage is gone, but, unfortunately for the Yankees, Steinbrenner is not. BOSTON: The hitting is there, the pitching is not. Larry Bird could be the ace of the Red Sox' staff. CLEVELAND: The Indians have great speed and little else. AMERICAN LEAGUE WEST CHICAGO: With their pitching staff, the White Sox will have no problem repeating in the West. OAKLAND: The A's will make a big jump from last year, when they finished fourth with a 74-88 record. TEXAS: Good starting pitching could make the Rangers a danger. CALIFORNIA: The Angels will try to overcome last year's injuries and this year's atrocious pitching. KANSAS CITY: Even a miracle drug won't help the Royals. MINNESOTA: Unless the Twins' pitching improves they will be as bad as last year's 70-92 team. SEATTLE: Georgetown and Houston provided the Kingdome with more excitement in one game than the Mariners will all season. NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST PITTSBURGH: The Pirates have a wealth of pitching and enough hitting to carry them to the division title. MONTREAL: Don't count on the 43-year-old Rose to lead the Expos to the pennant. PHILADELPHIA: The Phillies will miss the leadership of Rose, Joe Morgan and Tony Perez. ST. LOUIS: Outstanding team speed, outstandingly bad pitching. CHICAGO: Hitting is provided by a number of players. Pitching is not provided at all. NEW YORK: One of the few good things for the Mets this season is the absence of Dave Kingman. NATIONAL LEAGUE WEST LOS ANGELES: The Dodgers' pitching probably the best in baseball will make them-world champions. . i SAN DIEGO: Gossage, Steve Garvey, and some talented young hitters are the keys to the much-improved Padres. SAN FRANCISCO: A rejuvenated team with the addition of Al Oliver, Manny Trillo and Dusty Baker. ATLANTA: The Braves may have to call on Chief Noc-A-Homa to do some pitching for them. It's that bad. HOUSTON: The Astros have good hitting and decent pit ching, but they have a power shortage. CINCINNATI: Even Dave Parker will be unable to bring the Reds up from last place. Sullivan on top of golf game Thursday, April 5, 1984The Daily Tar Heel7 By SCOTT CANTERBERRY Staff Writer Bryan Sullivan is back on top of his golf game right now at a time when the men's golf team needs his play the most. Sullivan, a sophomore who came on strong at the end of last season to tie for sixth place in the ACC tournament and win the team's most improved player award, said he has had a very inconsistent season. But shooting even-par 72s in the final two rounds of the Houston Ail-American Invitational two weeks ago, and then a 67 in a qualifying round last week at Finley Golf Course has given Sullivan the confidence he has not had in a while. "I got (the confidence) at the beginning tff last summer," Sullivan said. "I felt like I could play with anybody. Winning the North-South Amateur (at Pinehurst) helped me a lot." "At the end of the summer, I just started playing so poorly and my confidence went down," he said. "Now I'm starting to get it back. My game is just now starting to roll." And that's a good sign for the Tar Heels, who have only two tournaments remaining before the ACC tournament. The defending ACC champion Tar Heels will need consistent play from Sullivan. Coach Devon Brouse realizes the impor tance of Sullivan to the team's success. Currently Sullivan holds the team's fourth lowest stroke average. "We need him to play well this part of the season," Brouse said. "To be successful, we need him to give us the golf he's capable of playing." The team begins play today at the Furman Invita tional in Greenville, S.C. .without low scorer John Inman, who is competing in the Greater Greensboro Open. Sullivan said a team victory would give UNC a needed boost going into the final weeks of the season. Despite finishing second in two tournaments and having respectable showings in two other major tour naments, this season has been a "letdown" for the team, Sullivan said. "Going into the season, we were ranked sixth in the nation," he said. "Our confidence was up." "I think if we go down to Furman and play well and win, it would boost our confidence a lot more by winning without John (Inman)." The team will return to Finley next weekend to host the Tar Heel Invitational. Last year, Sullivan finished fourth in the event and said he hopes to im prove upon that finish this year. But for now, Sullivan said he looked forward to playing well in Greenville. "I hope to be at the top of my game when I come back here and to the ACC," he said, adding that he must continue to be more consistent and concentrate hard on not making men tal mistakes. "I want to win a tournament this year and not finish out of the top 10 in the next three tour naments," he said. Sullivan said he knows his inconsistent perfor mance during the year will give him only a small chance of making Ail-American this season. "I feel like I've had a disappointing season, but if I play well the next three tournaments that is what counts," he said. Sullivan's major area of growth is in his consisten cy, Brouse said. "He continues to work hard on his concentration, and as his habits continue to improve, so will his consistency," Brouse said. Sullivan said his short game, a strength at the end of last year, is now his biggest weakness. But he said his hitting game has improved. Sullivan expects success; and confidence will again be a key factor. "If we play well in the last three tour naments, our confidence will be up going into the na tionals, which is really important," he said. "We believe we can win the national champion ship. If we can get our confidence up, we have a real ly good chance." Sullivan said that last year's tournament ex perience, when the team was only one shot out of the lead after two rounds before falling to an eighth place finish, would benefit the team in the 1984 NCAA tournament.

DU Blue I State 's Loving shuts down Heels; Pack rolls to 9-1 win By LEE ROBERTS Staff Writer Some days you have it and some days you don't. The North Carolina baseball team did not have it Wednesday afternoon at Doak Field in Raleigh, dropping an ACC game to N.C. State, 9-1. "1 don't think we played very well and that's partly my fault," coach Mike Roberts said. "I didn't have them mentally prepared to play away from home in the ACC." Things started out bad for UNC starter Tim Kirk and got progressively worse. After a two run first inning for the Wolfpack put UNC in the hole, Doug Davis led off the bottom of the second with a home run to make it 3-0, State. When Andrew Fava homered right after Davis, Roberts yanked Kirk, who took the loss in his first start of the year after 15 relief ap pearances. "Tim got the ball up all day and you can't do that here," Roberts said. "The ball carries very well at Doak Field." Then reliever Gordon Douglas came in, quickly allowed two runs, and after two inn ings State had a 6-0 lead and the Tar Heels on Tacy's contract extended The Associated Press WINSTON SALEM Wake Forest basketball coach Carl Tacy has had his contract extended for an undisclosed length of time, according to Athletic Director Gene Hooks. Terms of the extension were not released. "I'm delighted to be able, to make this announcement," Hook -said in a news release Wedriesday;-: The Demon Deacons finished the season with a school-record 23 victories and advanced to the finals of the Midwest Regional, where they fell to Houston, 68-63. "I honestly feel that our team was the best prepared squad in the NCAA tournament," Hooks said. Tacy has posted a 207-135 record in his 12 years at Wake Forest, a 60.6 winning percentage. Tacy is also the second win ningest coach in Wake Forest history. Tacy, who was head coach at Marshall in 1972, has an overall record of 230-139.

The lone Tar Heel run came in the third inn ing. Walt Weiss hit a one-out single to right, and Jeff Hubbard followed with a single to right, moving Weiss to third. Then Matt Merullo drove in the run on a groundball to shortstop. A Jim Strange home run in the eighth inn ing sealed the victory for the Wolfpack. "State just played a very fine ball game, of fensively and defensively," Roberts said. "They certainly deserved to win, and they played a lot better than we did. We weren't as aggressive as we needed to be." In two starts against North Carolina this year, Loving has pitched 17 innings, allowing only nine hits and four runs. However, UNC pitcher Roger Williams beat Loving 3-1 on a five-hitter March 18 in Chapel Hill. North Carolina is now 30-8 on the season, and 8-1 in ACC play. N.C. State moved to 25-5 and 6-2. The loss kept Roberts from recording his 250th career coaching vic tory at North Carolina, second only to his predecessor, Walter Rabb, who retired with 528. V f pHAHA!!
