This year

Saturday's football matchup with
Navy will mark the 90th anniversary
of competition between the Tar Heels
and the Midshipmen. Beginning with
their first meeting in 1899, the two
teams have squared off eight times
over the years, with each winning
four. Following is a concise rundown
of the UNC-Navy gridiron battles.
Nov. 4, 1899 Navy 12, UNC
0: The Tar Heels managed to hold a
bigger and stronger Middie team
scoreless for the first half, but Navy
managed two touchdowns in the sec
ond period to lock up the victory at
Annapolis.
"For Carolina every man deserves
praises," the Nov. 8 edition of the
Tar Heel said.
Navy's first touchdown, which was
only worth five points at the time,
was scored with 14 minutes remain
ing by one identified only as "Wade."
Oct. 21, 1905 Navy 38, UNC
0: "Seven Touchdowns in 40 Min
utes" the headline read after the Mid
dies stunned the Tar Heels at Anna
polis. The pregame betting was even for
this one, but once on the field Navy
backs ran rampant around UNC de
fenders, breaking loose for scampers
of 20, 30, 40 and 70 yards.
Nov. 17, 1906 Navy 40, UNC
0: The Tar Heels thought it couldn't
get any worse than 1905, but it did.
UNC managed just one first down in
the game and never got beyond Navy's
40-yard line. Meanwhile, the Mid
dies had an easy time with the Tar
Heel defense.
But not everything went well for
the Middies. Navy's quarterback, a
fellow named Norton, was ejected
from the game in the second half for
using foul language.
Oct 19, 1946 UNC 21, Navy
14: North Carolina finally managed
to rock the Navy boat in this one,
scoring against the Middies for the
first time ever and chalking up their
first victory of the series.
This game's hero was Tar Heel
back Walt Pupa, who scored twice in
the second half to bring UNC from a
14-7 deficit to seven-point lead. Char
lie Justice opened the scoring for
North Carolina on a quarterback sneak

Oct. 5, 1957 UNC 13, Navy 7:
Thanks to tackle Leo Russavage, the
Tar Heels stunned the mighty Mid
dies, the nation's fourth-ranked team,
in front of 25,000 fans in Kenan Sta
dium. With 7:5 1 to play in the third quar
ter, Russavage intercepted a pass from
Navy quarterback Tom Forrestal and
went 32 yards for a touchdown, put
ting UNC on top for good.
The Tar Heels didn't attempt one
pass, but Tar Heel defenders picked
off five Navy heaves, including a
devastating interception by Buddy
Payne with just 1:17 to play.
September 15, 1984 Navy 33,
UNC 30: The Tar Heels blew a 15
point lead and turned the ball over
four times in the second half en route
to a shocking loss in Kenan Stadium.
For Navy, the clincher came with
2:24 to play in the game, when quar
terback Bill Byrne, on the verge of
being sacked, heaved a lead pass to
tailback Rich Clouse, who scampered
60 yards for the winning touchdown.

Navy 19: This one, the season opener

for both teams, ended in controversy
when a successful two-point conver
sion attempt by the Middies with 53
seconds left was annulled due to a
penalty,
Navy quarterback Bill Byrne, af
ter completing a 5-yard touchdown
pass to Napoleon McCallum, hit split
end John Lobb in the end zone on the
conversion attempt, but the play was
negated after offensive guard Mark
Miller was called illegally downfield
for being out of the neutral blocking
zone.
The Middies were called for a to
tal of 10 penalties in a game that
included 14 penalties and six turn
overs altogether.
September 26, 1987 UNC 45,
Navy 14: The Tar Heels dominated a
pathetic Navy team in Annapolis,
scoring easily on their first four pos
sessions to build a 28-0 lead and set
sail for victory.
Afterward, Elliot Uzelac, Navy's
disgruntled first-year coach, said, "I
don't see how things could get any
worse than this. We were bad in all
areas. We didn't play on offense, we
didn't play on defense and we can't
kick."
Maybe for Uzelac, who still calls
the shots for the Middies, the out
look for Saturday's game won't be
so bleak.

Mil
eman
ives on at Carolina
By CHRIS HELMS
Staff Writer
For more than half a century,
the tradition of the Carolina
mikeman has endured.
Or is it that Carolina has en
dured 50 years of the mikeman tra
dition? Whatever your view, anyone
who has been to a Carolina foot
ball game has encountered the
mikeman. His usual habitat is the
sidelines in front of the Carolina
Fever section, but his distinctive
calls can be heard from anywhere
in the stadium.
Current mikeman Carl Bryan
said his role was to "get everybody
fired up about the game." Bryan, a
senior political sciencephysical
education major, is in his second
year as mikeman.
Bryan said that watching previ
ous mikemen and his love for foot
ball enticed him into trying out for
the spot. He said his friends laughed
when he told them he was trying
out. "They said, 'You're so shy,
there's no way you can do this. "

They were wrong. His stint as
mikeman has transformed the re
tiring Carl Bryan into "Noogy,"
rabid spirit-meister.
Bryan said the nickname
"Noogy" is based on a Miami Vice
character famous for the tag line
"My name is Noogy, I like to
boogy."
The past two years have seen
the mikeman move away fron lone
wolf status toward better coopera
tion with the cheerleaders.
Mikemen must now attend sum
mer training camps with the cheer
leading squad and the school mas
cot. Collins said it was unusual for
schools to take their mikemen to
such camps. "We are in the minor
ity, but how can you do it without
the background?"
Collins said mikemen were a
Southern tradition. "You don't find
them in the North or the Midwest"
Following this tradition, Bryan
said, "I want to make a name for
myself."
