With 40 seconds left in UNCs 20-0 win over Kansas, Tar Heel def ensive coordinator Denny Mar cin looked like a red-faced vol cano ready to explode. As the Jayhawks called timeout after penetrating deep into UNC territory, Marcin yelled at his charges to come to the sideline. "I want the whole defense, whole defense, WHOLE DEFENSE over here," he screamed. "Now you all better shape up!" he said, and went on to deliver one more stirring pep talk to get his team through the last minute of play without let ting the shutout butterfly out of his jar. Kansas advanced to UNCs 17-yard line with six seconds left. "C'mon defense!" Marcin yelled, appearing as if he wanted to substitute himself in to make sure his much-maligned unit completed this gem. "Wallace!" he yelled to UNC defensive guard Donnie Wallace. You better get your pass rush geared up!" Wallace nodded, but on the next play he didn't sack Kansas quarterback Mike Orth, who went 29-for-50 for 299 yards during the game. Instead it was Derrick Donald who saved the touchdown at the one-yard line, knocking receiver Tony Harvey out of bounds, and then jumping up and wildly waving his arms in the referee's signal of "no good." It really didn't matter who made the saving tackle, however. KU was KO'ed by a UNC defense that gave up. 388 yards but came up with the big play every time it was necessary. Mitch Wike intercepted two passes and recovered a fumble to lead the turnover corps. "I think the key was everybody sticking together," he said. "We never let their big plays get to us."

"Sometimes we just do things recklessly," said a frus trated Bob Valesente, who had his debut as Kansas head coach spoiled. "UNC didnt offer any surprises." That's rather odd logic. Did Kansas then expect to be shut out, since it wasn't surprised by anything the Tar Heels did? Marcin, for one, didn't think a goose egg would be posted, hav ing predicted a score of 27-6 earlier. "They really scared us," Mar cin said of Kansas. "They have some dangerous people out there." When asked if he knew how long it had been since North Carolina had shut out a team, Marcin immediately replied: "Georgia Tech, 1982. There's not too many goose eggs flying around, so you remember the ones you get."

KJ. Reynolds Industries Theater, Bryan Center f-3 mm Ron Burton sisted tackles, said the key to any defensive performance is unity. "It was a good team effort," he said. "We had some hard times early in the game, but got a lot of key turnovers. Orth (who was making his first collegiate start) looked a little nervous to me." Like his coach, the KU quar terback was similarly frustrated about the inability to score. "It seemed like every time we got into scoring range we would slip up and make a mental mistake. We were able to move the ball at times, but we didn't put any points on the board so it's kind of two-sided." Part of Kansas' turnover problem may have been due to opening-game jitters. "It was our first game and we made some mistakes," said KU fullback Arnold Snell, who led his team with 87 yards rushing. "I missed a couple of blocks myself." But the Jayhawks' main p.ob lem was its foe a defense which rotated in 27 players, including seven different line backers. "We spent a lot of time out here, but the kids were still strong at the end," Marcin said. "And it was really hot out here." As was the Tar Heel defense. VARSITY MEM t Tf f 1 . .

Women's By EDDY LANDRETH Staff Writer The UNC women's soccer team attended class at Fetzer Field on Sunday afternoon, only they were the teachers in this school. The Elon Fighting Christians enrolled for the first soccer game in their history and the exam result was a 7-0 loss to the nation's number one ranked team. Elon head coach Steve Ballard said he felt good about his team's effort and had expected a lesson or two before the game started. "We came in here wanting to learn and see how it should be done," Ballard said. "I think we certainly got that experience today." The Tar Heels ran up a 6-0 score in the first half, virtually scoring at will. Five different players senior forward Jo Boobas, senior mid fielder Marcia McDermott, fresh man midfielder Shannon Higgins, senior forward Bettina Bernardi and freshman midfielder Donna Rigley scored, with Higgins getting two goals. In the second half, the Tar Heels had just one goal on a header from sophomore forward Birthe Hegstad. The Fighting Christains never man aged a shot in the game. Ballard said he believed playing someone of UNCs caliber would benefit his team. Kansas victory primarily, as the Tar Heels gobbled up five turnovers, blocked two field goals and were responsible for the majority of a desultory crowd of 40,200 leaving for the exits early in the fourth quarter. The game also spoiled Kansas coach Bob Valesente's debut as head coach of the Jayhawks. His team outgained UNC 388-361 in total offense, but penetrated inside the UNC 36-yard line six times without scoring. "We knew (UNC) would be hard-nosed and tough and would control the football with their running game," Valesente said. "We have got to get the ball in the end zone." The Tar Heels' offense sputtered in the early going as well, but a 55 yard TD pass from Jonathan Hall to William Humes ignited UNC early in the third quarter. The Tar Heels rushed the ball down Kansas' throat after that, ending up with 282 yards on 58 attempts. Humes led the team with 89 yards on 22 carries, with Eric Starr filling in for Fenner and gaining 7 1 yards. UNC only threw 15 times and completed five for 79 yards, as Crum relied on the ball-control offense and stingy defense that the Tar Heels' BUY TRADE SELL New & Used Records Books, CD's & Tapes THE FAIR EXCHANGE 302 E.

"1 think we learned weVe got to get match fit and get stronger. We couldn't do a whole lot because we're not strong right now. UNC assistant coach Bill Palla dino said the Tar Heels played the game mostly for the benefit of Elon. "WeVe worked with their coach in getting their program started," Palladino said. "We actually helped him with their recruiting because we gave them all our recruiting files. He said he had about 10 of his players from our recruiting files." Palladino was impressed with several players on the Elon squad. "They're a brand new team and they had a few really quality players. I thought their goalkeeper was excellent. (She is) one of the better keepers that well see anywhere, at any level." The benefit for the Tar Heels was in playing a live scrimmage to improve each player's personal skills, Palladino added. The Tar Heels visited N.C. State on Saturday afternoon in a contest that was no scrimmage. They were able to escape Raleigh with a 2-1 victory. Palladino said he expected a tough game and that was just what the Tar Heels received. The teams played to a 0-0 tie in most successful teams have used. "I was particularly happy with the shutout," he said. "In this day and age it's tough to get one." After six skydivers landed on the field in pregame ceremonies, Starr fumbled an early iirst-quarter punt return and Kansas recovered. The Jayhawks advanced to the UNC 22 before Donald came from the right side and blocked his first field goal. "I kind of surprised myself," he said. "Our inside line closed on the inside and gave me a free shot." Donald blocked another field goal three minutes later and Kenny Miller missed a 44-yard field goal late in the first quarter as both teams botched opportunities. Linebacker Mitch Wike had two first-half interceptions for UNC to thwart Kansas drives. Hall led the Tar Heels on a 62 yard drive early in the second quarter, with Eric Streater providing the key play on a 33-yard reverse. After Streater dove for a Hall pass but missed it in the end zone, Lee Gliarmis came on to boot a 25-yard field goal to give UNC all the points it turned out they would need. There was no further scoring until the third quarter, when on a third-and-seven Humes waited to make sure his linebacker wasn't blitzing, then released out of the backfield and Prizes: Fun: HA uNK Social Committee & American Contract Bridge League BACK-TO-SCHOOL SPECIALS $5000 OFF All New Accordos DLX Cavaletto $100 OFFLeMans RS Earth Cruisers 10 Speeds $l0oo off Bike Tune Up Reg.

Senior forward April Heinrichs finally broke the ice at 18:50 left in the game, when she scored a goal on an assist from Boobas. Three minutes later, N.C. State's April Kemper tied the game again. By this time, however, the Tar Heels had regained their shaken confidence and believed they would be able to score again, according to Palladino. "We were starting to get a little antsy because we weren't scoring," Palladino said. "Our first goal started to give us confidence. They scored right back, but we still had the confidence we were going to be able to score again." They proceeded to do just that two minutes later with 13:02 left in the game, on a goal by McDermott on an assist from Bernardi. There were many opportunities for the Tar Heels to score as they outshot the Wolfpack 19-10. They just could not seem to find the net. Boobas said conditioning may have made the difference in the end. "I think toward the end we were a little more fit than they were," Boobas said. And, she added, the Wolfpack really wanted this game. "We expected a good match," she said. "They were really psyched for us. from page 1 caught a 10-yard pass from Hall at the Kansas 45. But there was no one else around. "My reaction was touchdown," Humes said. He sprinted the rest of the way untouched to give UNC a 10-0 lead. Kansas came right back, driving to the UNC 35. But tailback Mike Rogers fumbled a hand off and Wike recovered again. After a punt exchange, the UNC second-string backfield of James Thompson and Starr rammed the ball 51 yards in eight plays. Starr went over left tackle for a two-yard touchdown run to give the Tar Heels a 17-0 margin. "I was glad to get a chance to show what I could do," he said. Kansas threatened once more late in the quarter, but MikejOrth was pounded by UNC defensive end Ron Burton and coughed up the ball, which Waiter Bailey recovered. The fourth quarter was mainly a battle to preserve the shutout. Orth, who was 29-of-50 on the day for 299 yards, completed nine in a row at one point, but the defense kept coming up with big plays to curtail the drives. UNC ran off another 42 yard drive, all on the ground, for its final field goal by Gliarmis with 3:10 left, a 35-yarder that ended the scoring. Enroll Now!
