4 tale of two cities and seasons:
Carolina football and basketball
The walk from Kenan Fieldhouse
10 Carmichael Auditorium Tuesday
aitcrnoon was a short one. But it
aidjrt take long for the steps to
multiply in my mind.
Less than three hours after Dick
Crum was placed in the unenviable
position of explaining how it was
that the North Carolina football
team found itself with just one win
after five games, Dean Smith offi
cially unveiled to the public the 1984
85 North Carolina basketball team.
The difference was that Smith was
smiling.
"Traveling time," as Smith called
it, was over. The next six weeks
would be spent in Chapel Hill, and
then the season would begin.
Michael DeSisti
It was Picture Day, and Brad
Daugherty for the moment a 6
1 1 shooting guard could clown '
in front of the camera in a classic
Jerry West come-and-get-me pose,
the ball held high and wide to his
side.
What a difference 200 yards can
make.
As if it wasn't hard enough playing
football at North Carolina, inargua
bly the basketball school in the
basketball conference of the NCAA,
playing football on a 1-4 team is that
much more difficult.
"I guess it's an occupational
hazard that you're going to have a
year like this once in a while," said
Crum, who spent a good half-hour
reassuring the doubters that the Tar
Heels would show up for Saturday's
home game against N.C. State
without bags over their heads or
scarlet letters affixed to their jerseys.
"The sun's going to come up again
tomorrow."
The sun is just rising over in
Carmichael, where two-a-days
started during Fall Break.
The most notable absences (two
of them excused by the NBA, the
other to graduation and the business
world) were Michael Jordan, Sam
, """" " v
J
S;
Perkins and Matt Doherty. Also
missing, and certainly a welcome
absence to Smith, is last year's No.
1 preseason ranking and the pressure
and expectations that went with it.
The Tar Heels are 19th-ranked by
The Sporting News, which has the
only major poll out at present.
The new faces? Chapel Hill High
product Ranzino Smith (6-1, 180)
and Matt Brust (6-4, 205), brother
of ex-Tar Heel Chris, are North
Carolina's only recruits. James
Daye, Brian Ellerby and Gary
Roper, JV players last year, will get
a shot at the big time.
Daugherty, the most experienced
player on the team though only a
junior, is expected to start at center.
Sophomore Joe Wolf will probably
be replacing Perkins at power
forward, and sophomore Kenny
Smith, his wrist fully healed, will play
at point guard. Then things get
sketchy.
"I try very hard not to write down
a lineup (before the season) . . .
because it limits you," Smith said.
Smith shouldn't have to try very
hard this year because there are
options. But there are always
options.
Sophomore Curtis Hunter, red
shirted last year with a broken foot,
and senior Buzz Peterson are each
expected to play at either the shoot
ing guard or small forward positions.
Smith will look for ways to get Steve
Hale, the best defensive player on
the team, time at either point or
shooting guard.
Should Smith want to go with a
bigger lineup, Warren Martin (6-1 1),
redshirted last year with back prob
lems and still not practicing because
of a leg injury, or sophomore Dave
Popson (6-9) could be used up front
with Wolf (6-10) and Daugherty.
"I think it's safe to say we're just
a big question mark, in my opinion,"
Smith said. "I really don't know how
good well be."
The last time I heard that, I was
sitting in Kenan Fieldhouse four
days before the Navy game, North
Carolina's first loss of the year.
Shades of things to come? I sure
hope not.

Tennis exciting Boggs
By SCOTT CANTERBERRY
Staff Writer ,
Beating Bjorn Borg's wife in a
professional tournament right out of
high school provided a lot of excitement,
for a young Nancy Boggs, and now the
UNC junior continues to enjoy the
excitement of winning as the No. 2
singles and No. 1 doubles player for the
women's tennis team.
"There was a vague rumor that Borg
was going to show up at the tourna
ment," said Boggs, laughing as she told
of that memorable match. "I was on
the court and it was all I could do to
hit the ball - and I beat her."
Moving on to UNC from Bay Village,
Ohio, has produced more excitement
for Boggs, including last spring's ACC
championship at No. 3 singles and
runner-up spot at No. 1 doubles.
Despite her personal success, Boggs
seemed more excited about her team's
chances of improving on last season's
ITCA top 20 finish. Although finishing
fourth in the region, the team was not
selected to participate in the NCAA
championships.
"We've really pulled together since
the first day of practice, and we're really
getting along well," Boggs said of the
midway point of the season.
The addition of freshman Elizabeth
Alexander, currently No. 3 singles, and
walk-on Petra Wessels, has really
strengthened the team, she said.
"Right now we are at the stage where
we gel as a team, but we will be real
tough come spring," she said.
The switch to the No. 2 spot has been .
a smooth one for Boggs, who has lost
only twice thus far in her new position.
"I feel like I'm on top of my game
right now," Boggs said. "I feel very
comfortable at No. 2 and I hope I keep
winning there."
She said she likes the challenge of
playing the second spot. "A lot of people
don't like the pressure when you get up.
to the top three positions, but I like
it there," she said.
"I'd like to move up in the national

rankings this year, and make it to the
nationals both as an individual and as
a team."
Learning to play with a new doubles
partner, Kiki Vaandrager, has been a
bigger adjustment for Boggs, but coach
Kitty Harrison said the tandem is
providing "solid" performances.
"I think Kiki and I play real well
together, but when you play No. 1
doubles you're up against the top two
girls on the team," Boggs said. "By this
spring, well be working a lot better
together. It just takes a little while to
get to know each other on the court."
Boggs said that team psychologist,
Dr. John Sylva, has really helped keep
the team together.
"He helps us get a little bit of an edge
on our opponets before we go out on
the court," she said. "He gives us little
tactics to keep your head into the match,
and think about the match before you
go onto the court."
After graduation, Boggs said she
would give professional tennis a try.
"When I came here to school, I thought
I would go out and play pro.
"I think I will do that just because
I can tell my children I tried," she
laughed. "I think I'd hate myself if I
made it this far and didn't try.
"As far as staying out there a real
long time, I don't think so. I think 111
go to Europe and tour for a little bit,
but I dont think 111 pursue it."
A speech communications major,
Boggs hopes to eventually enter sports
broadcasting. If not, her love for
drawing may lead to a career in
advertising, she said.
For now, Boggs is content with just
being one of the leaders on the UNC
tennis team.
