A XL 6The Daily Tar Heel Friday. October UNC to battle Tigers By FRANK KENNEDY Sports Editor About a year ago September, North Carolina coach Dick Crum walked into the Kenan Fieldhouse for his weekly press conference and told a group of reporters that Memphis State could give his nationally-ranked Tar Heels a tough game. Right, they thought. Whatever you say, coach. It so happened that he was right. Huge underdog Memphis battled the Tar Heels to a 10-10 half time tie before falling 24-10. This year, the roles have flip flopped. Memphis isn't nationally ranked yet, but at 5-1-1, an impres sive win tomorrow in the Liberty Bowl over UNC could easily propel the Tigers into the Top 20. The Tigers enter tomorrow's 8:30 start as seven-point favorites, while the Tar Heels are struggling at 2 4. But Memphis coach Rey Dempsey isn't looking ahead. "They're 2-4, but you have to remember who they are," Dempsey said. "Carolina is Carolina. They're struggling this year, but they have talent." And that talk of Memphis having a shot at hosting the Liberty Bowl game in December just isn't impor tant right now, Dempsey said. "By thinking about the bowl games all you do is distract and take time away from North Carolina, and that's why we dont talk about it much. We talk about improving." Indeed, the Tigers have done just that, with a program that has gone from consecutive 1-10 seasons in 1981 and 1982 to a 6-A-l squad last SALE EfJJSS CTOHEiFI 3ist SO HURRY!

At his press conference Tuesday, Crum revealed some surprising numbers about Memphis State, which has literally grown in the last year. Nose guard Mike Mackay (261) has upped his weight by 21 pounds, both quick tackle Rick Hechinger (250) and strong tackle Jeff Walker (294) are 40 pounds heavier, and quick guard Tim Long (307) has gained 57 pounds. Big enough that the Tar Heels have a challenge facing them on both sides of scrimmage. Brian Johnston, . who was moved from defense to center last week, said he will have his hands full opening up holes for the UNC backfield. "They've got some real studs up front," Johnston said of the Tiger defensive line, especially noting Mackay. "They run a wide-tackle six, and the only way you can break that is by running it up the gut, and their toughest players play those positions. " Offensively, there's really no telling who will start. Last week, QB Mark Maye, fullback Brad Lopp and tailback William Humes started ahead of the Kevin Anthony-Eddie Colson-Ethan Horton trio. Both tailbacks rushed for more than 100 yards. And that was against an N.C. State defense that had regularly been giving up big yards. The Tigers, on the other hand, have the No. 4 defense in the country this week and held high-powered Florida State to 17 points two weeks ago in a tie game. fOlML 3 C TOE S.O.S.

State coming to Chapel Hill to play the North Carolina men's soccer team Sunday, UNC head coach t Anson Dorrance said he has mentioned to his team the possibility of having a season like the Wolfpack had last year. But if that's going to happen, the Tar Heels (9-6-1), who have lost only once in their last eight games, are going to have to first upset the 1 1-2-1 Wolfpack, the most talented team in the country, Dorrance said. Last season a 13-5-1 State squad received an NCAA bid over the 16-3-2 Tar Heels largely because of a 2-1 win over UNC earlier in the year, Dorrance said. State had gone into that game with a 9-4-1 record, compared to UNC's 13-2-1. The coaching staff must appeal to the UNC players' sense of pride, Dorrance said. "We shouldn't need (last year's outcome) to motivate. Even if we were 0-14, 1 would hope that we'd play with a lot of pride.

Dorrance said State, which has been ranked in the top 10 all season, has four remarkable players: two Nigerians and two of the most highly recruited members of this year's American Junior National Team. "Any team would want to have one of those four to center a team around," Dorrance said. Dorrance said he has mixed emotions about playing N.C. State right now, because, on the negative side, they are coming off a 1-0 loss to Tampa last week, and, on the positive side, UNC has been playing some of its best soccer of late. NOTES: Both N.C.

The Tar Heels face George Washing ton Friday at 1 p.m., and Saturday play Central Florida at 10 a.m. and Radford at 4 p.m. UNC soccer coach Anson Dorrance said the Central Florida game will be the most important for his team. "You don't want to overlook anyone, but Central Florida is certainly the strongest team in the field," Dorrance said. The Tar Heels beat Central Florida 1-0 Oct. 14 in Orlando, Fla. Dorrance said that game was well played by both teams, with lots of action at both ends of the field. The Tar Heel goal was scored by Emily Pickering on a rebound off a UCF defender, but Dorrance said both teams had their chances. "It was basically a good soccer game with lots of up-and-back," Dorrance said. The Tar Heels 26-game winning streak over the past two seasons was broken a week ago with a 1-1 tie with George Mason in Fairfax, Va. But Dorrance said the tie had a positive effect on his team. "We had one of the best practices we've had all season Monday, and it t J PHUEY LEWIS AND 1 THE HEWS just goes to show that the players are committed to re-establishing the enthu siasm and intensity that have been our trademark," Dorrance said. "The practices this week and the game Tuesday (a 5-0 win over William and Mary in Chapel Hill) showed that." The Tar Heels (18-0-1) have out scored opponents 98-2 this season, including 17 shutouts. April Heinrichs leads UNC in scoring with 18 goals and 1 1 assists, and Joan Dunlap has added 17 goals and seven assists. The Tar Heels have averaged better than 5.5 goals a game while the defense has dominated to the point that the two UNC goalkeepers, Beth Huber and Kathleen O'Dell, have been forced to make just 37 saves between them this season. "This weekend will provide three good games for us," Dorrance said. "Playing a team like Central Florida will give us a chance to see where our weaknesses are and correct them before the NCAAs. "If we can come out of the weekend undefeated and go into the tournament as one of the top two teams in the nation, well get a break next weekend." The top two seeds for the NCAAs get first round byes for the tournament, which would mean the Tar Heels would have two weeks to prepare to compete for their fourth straight national title. Athletics p1 from one 1 0-yard line to the other on the side of the current press box, and would open space for 2,000 additional seats, Swofford said. The Finley Field Complex, opened in the spring, is the last facility opened for varsity teams. The complex is comprised of practice fields for softball, lacrosse and soccer. The softball team plays their scheduled games there. Soccer coach Anson Dorrance said that the complex is located near the Finley Golf Course. "It's biggest advan tage (to the soccer team) is that it helps preserve the game field," Dorrance said. Grenada from page 1 learn to read, because their families have to use all that money for food," Schoultz said. In other words, the American effort is falling short in the very area in which Bishop and his Cuban supporters were making progress. Education is an ' essential element' in "the process of developing a democratic state, and to offer the Grenadians the mechanics of democracy without making an effort to provide them with the environment in which it will flourish is fighting only half the battle. Whatever the reasons for the inva sion itself, military action gave the United States an opportunity to replace leftist government with one that exemplified its values and its hopes for the region. But what are the long-term implications for U.S. policy if America shows that we are con cerned exclusively with geopolitical considerations and not with the welfare of people whose government we rely on for a military alliance. This is typical of U.S. policy in Latin America under presidents of all parties for the past 30 years. Failure to target regional problems of poverty, educa tion and health care have produced setbacks for American foreign policy in Cuba under Eisenhower and Nica ragua under Carter and have caused the United States to resort to military force. Grenada is still an open chapter in the book of inter-American relations. The electoral process has been set in motion. But will the United States alter its perception of events in Latin America? Will the Grenada opportun ity be utilized to demonstrate that Washington is concerned, not merely with the superficiality of democracy, but with creating the conditions in which a stable democratic state can thrive? The opportunity for the U.S. government is there. Rally from page 1 Straley said. "Your voice, if used effectively, is the most powerful force in the whole world in the fight against terrorism" Reagan's foreign policy record was described as irresponsible by Richard Hoyle, a foreign exchange student from Britain. He urged the crowd to vote for Walter Mondale, a candidate he said American could depend on. The White House held a ceremony Wednesday, marking the anniversy of the Grenada invasion. Reagan said the incident restored Americans' confi dence in their nation. iii Jin iiMmum Jiwaw uum n..n.iiml IN nn itlrPTr t- . nnn-m-lii-r-T "J
