The Tar Heels have been on a tear of late, winning five straight road matches against stiff opposition. Friday, the ladies will take a 16-10 record into a match with Clemson. However, UNC has its problems. The Tar Heels have been hurt by a rash of injuries, and assistant coach Kevin Kirk expressed concern about the overall health of the team. "In our last match with William ) Coors & Coors Light (longnecks) tonight & Halloween! 1 506 East Franklin St. Chapel Hill, NC and Mary, Sharon German had some cramps caused by some medication she was taking," Kirk said. "But shell be available to us this weekend." Also among the Tar Heel walking wounded is Susan Andrews, who has been playing with a broken finger and will continue to play in pain. Ann Schildmeyer, one of UNC's premier hitters who has missed much of the season with a broken wrist, has praticed with the team this week and might be available. The Tar Heels, who will have nine players ready for Friday's 7:30 p.m. match with Clemson and a 1 p.m. Saturday date with Georgia, will definitely be without the services of Sarah Wilson, who suffered a sprained ankle Oct. 17 and is not expected back for another week. The dark cloud of injury has cast its murky shadow over coach Dennis Craddock's cross country teams as well. Craddock's top male runner, Reggie Harris of Asheville, has a recurring foot ailment that has made him questionable for Saturday's ACC championships in Atlanta. "Reggie will make the decision on running," Craddock said. "Of course if our number one runner is not at full strength, that hurts our chances." However, Craddock is still optim istic about the men's chances to do well in the tournament as well as the women's. "Our women are very young but well still challenge for a good finish," he said. "Well have four freshmen running for us." The men will start off the cham R eveiige for Teirp9 or Tar Heel victory? By LANGSTON WERTZ Stait Writer UNC football coach Dick Crum will take a well-rested group of Tar Heels to Byrd Stadium for a 12:05 p.m. date with the 4-3 Terrapins this Saturday. The Tar Heels, coming off an open date last weekend, are also 4-3, and first place in the hotly contested ACC race will be at stake. Maryland is 3-1 in the conference, tied for the lead with Clemson, while UNC is 2-1. The Terrapins have been on a tear of late, handing the Deamon Deacons ' of Wake Forest their first loss of the season two weeks ago and then coming back to snatch a dramatic 23 22 victory out of the hands of some disappointed Blue Devils from Duke. Crum is wary of the Terrapins, and considering that two of Maryland's three losses came at the hands of national powers Miami (Fla.) and Avoid the lottery blues.

There is one Tar Heel squad going into action this weekend that defi nitely is not hurting, and that is coach Karen Shelton's second-ranked field hockey team. UNC will host the fifth annual ACC Tournament Oct. 30 through Nov. 1 at Astroturf Field. Play begins Friday with No. 5 seed Wake Forest taking on No. 4 seed Duke at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, No. 3 seed Virginia will take on No. 2 seed Maryland at noon to be followed by the host Tar Heels facing either Duke or Wake Forest at 2:30 p.m. The championship will be Sunday at 1 p.m. The Tar Heels have been led all season by senior midfielder Lori Bruney, who set a single-season school record with 22 assists in 1987. The major beneficiary has been Betsy Gillespie, a senior midfielder who has 18 goals this season to lead the Tar Heels. UNC has never lost an ACC tourney and was chosen as top seed through a goal differential formula comparing goals-against to goals scored by UNC, Maryland and Virginia. Shelton said the competition in the tournament was stiff and expressed the hope that the Tar Heels would be tested. "With some ranked teams partic ipating (Maryland is ranked third nationally and Virginia is eighth), the ACC tournament will be great prep Syracuse, his concern seems to be well-founded. "Maryland is a big, physical foot ball team," Crum said. "In fact, physically, it resembles some of the great Maryland teams of the past. They've played a tough schedule and I think that's going to make them very difficult to handle down the stretch." UNC might do well to try and stop the Maryland air attack. During last year's meeting between the teams in Chapel Hill, Terp quarterback Dan Henning hit on 18 of 29 passes, damaging the then-decrepit Tar Heel secondary for 367 yards and three six pointers. Wide receiver James Milling scored on passes of 88 and 77 yards -en -route to 220 yards receiving for the day. This week, though, Neil O'Donnell should be barking signals for Mary land after his strong play last week. Milling and O'Donnell represent but two visages of a dangerous four headed aerial assault featured by the pass-happy Terps. Wide receiver Azizuddin Abdur-Ra'oof has 24 catches this year and tight end Ferrell Edmunds has 21 more. Maryland will be trying to stop a revived UNC running attack led by the oft-maligned Eric Starr, who rushed for 129 yards in UNC's victory over N.C. State. Torin Dorn will probably miss the game with his still injured ankle. But the Terrapins can not overlook the Tar Heel passing game. Tar Heel quarterback Mark Maye has passed for 1331 yards and six touchdowns this season. Senior wide receiver Eric Lewis has collected 20 of Maye's passes and has 955 yards receiving for his career. He needs just 45 more to become the seventh UNC receiver to reach the 1,000 yard plateau. UNC goes into Saturday's game with Maryland leading the all-time series, 26-23-1. The most recent game between the two teams yielded a 32 30 UNC victory last season when Lee Gliarmis nailed 28-yard field goal on the game's final and deciding play. This game looms very large in the 1987 Tar Heel campaign, and although Crum said that his team's preparation was no different than for its previous seven game days, the players realize the pressure is on. "I don't think it's that we can't win a big game," defensive end Reuben Davis said. "It's like a jinx. Something always happens and all of them (big games) end up being moral victories. I'm tired of playing good and losing." Stankavage From Associated Press reports DURHAM Scott Stankavage has declared his professional football career over, but he leaves the game with pleasant memories of his time as a replacement player with the Miami Dolphins. He especially recalls the afternoon of Oct. 11, the third weekend of the NFL players strike and the second week of games held with the replace ments. The opponent was the Kansas City Chiefs and about 25,000 people showed up in the new Joe Robbie Stadium. "The regular players were picketing outside. No one knew what to expect," Stankavage said in an interview with the Durham Morning Herald. "Before you know it, weVe got a aration for the NCAA tournament," she said. uWe would prefer to play Maryland if we advance to the final. That game would be a good indicator of how well do in post-season play." Also preparing for ACC action is the invincible women's soccer team, which comes off a 7-0 trouncing of Erskine College on Wednesday. The Tar Heels, led by Lori Henry, perhaps the nation's premier defensive player, boast a 17-0-1 record. An incredible 16 of their wins have come by shutout. Coach Anson Dorrance's squad will not be participating in the ACC Tournament this weekend, although all the ACC schools that field wom en's soccer teams will be present in Raleigh. This is the ACC Weekend, with an entire conference schedule compressed into three days. Friday, the Tar Heels will play 13th-ranked Virginia at 1 p.m., while No. 5 N.C. State takes on Maryland at 3 p.m. On Saturday, UNC and the Terps will square off at 1, while State and the Cavs play at 3 p.m. Finally,, on Sunday, Maryland and the Wahoos clash at 1, while State and UNC meet at 3:30 in what should be the best game of the weekend. On Monday, the NCAA berths will be announced, and UNC will find out whether it will have the much-coveted first-round bye. Dorrance will presumably be in Raleigh all weekend, which means his men's soccer team will be without its coach on Sunday, when the Tar Heels play UNC-Charlotte in Chapel Hill.

The Four Horsemen stumbled in last week with records only a mother (or the stock market) could love. But we are back this week to try and gain some ground after last week's disasters. Just barely over .500 were Jim (I get no respect around here) Suro wiecki, Mike (Leave us alone) Ber ardino and Chris (The Matchmaker) Spencer, who finished an embarass ingly weak 5-4-1.

Then, one of our defensive guys gets a touchdown and it's 35 0. Then another defensive guy scores a touchdown and we're ahead 42-0. The crowd went crazy. They started chanting, 'Stay on strike, stay on strike, " Stankavage said. "Those of us on the sidelines just looked up at each other and got caught up in the moment, we grabbed towels and started waving them in the air," he said. "It was great." The chants are echoes now, Stan kavage will no longer put on pads, but will work for a real estate development firm in Raleigh. But he said there are no regrets for the time he put in with the replacement players. For his three weeks of work in the NFL, Stankavage took home for its first NCAA bid since 1968, but had problems against an inferior Erskine squad on Wednesday, defeat ing the Flying Fleet 3-1. The Tar Heels are led by senior captain David Smyth, a serious candidate for the Herrmann Award as the best player in the nation. Smyth has had a singularly brilliant season, and is a major reason for UNC's 13 4 record. The game Sunday will be the Tar Heels' final regular-season match, and a win will be crucial to UNC's postseason possibilities. The swimming and diving teams will make their fall debut Saturday, as UNC will host the Tar Heel Invitational. The action will get underway at 11 a.m. in beautiful Koury Natatorium and will feature a spectacularly strong field for a meet this early in the year. And finally, professional basket ball comes to Chapel Hill once more to dazzle and stun adoring crowds, and bore cynical reporters. The Dallas Mavericks, with former UNC great Sam Perkins, Rolando Black man and German great Detlef Schrempf, take on the Chicago Bulls at 8 p.m. in an NBA exhibition game in the Smith Center. The Bulls feature a certain 6-5 tongue-wagging swingman who some people in Chapel Hill may have heard of. Michael Jordan is coming off one of the great seasons in NBA history, and even though he walked out of practice Wednesday, he should be in fine form on Saturday.

And don't eat too much of that Halloween candy, you hear? $16,000, which will help him and his wife, former UNC All-American swimmer Sue Walsh. "That's a factor I couldnt ignore from the start," he said. "It gave me an opportunity to make some good money relatively quickly. In three weeks, I was able to put a half-year's worth of salary in the bank." Stankavage was hesitant about playing for other teams. He had spent parts of three seasons with the Denver Broncos, and he had a tryout with the Philadelphia Eagles prior to the 1987 season. He did not return to Denver, deciding to honor those players with whom he had spent time. But any fears he held in joining the Dolphins were calmed by Shula.
