Maddem-less Tar Heels try to suarvive rowidl tliree "

Senior Writer
UNC head coach Dean Smith looks
at tjie Arkansas Razorbacks and sees
theOklahoma Sooners.
"SThey are a lot like Oklahoma,"
Smjth said. "They have very good ath
letes, they are very well-coached by
Nojan Richardson and they know what
to do."
Smith said the Tar Heels' 79-77
victory over the Sooners last weekend
might help the team in its preparation
for Jhe NCAA Midwest Regional game
today (8: 10p.m., CBS) in Dallas, Texas.
But the Arkansas matchup is far
different from the Oklahoma game in at
least one respect: Texas fans hated the
Sooners and rooted for the Tar Heels
while Dallas' Reunion Arena is ex
pected to have about 75 percent Arkan
sas supporters in the crowd. In fact, the
Razorbacks feel so at home in Reunion
Arena that they call it "Bamhill South"
in reference to the name of their home
court in Fayetteville, Ark.
But the key for UNC has nothing to
do with the time, the place or the crowd.
Instead, they must adopt a different
theme: "Make It A Hard Day's Night."
Perhaps the biggest key to the game
will be how the Tar Heel defense handles
the Razorbacks' Todd Day (19.4 ppg).
Day, a 6-foot-8 scoring machine,
plays much like the Tar Heels' Rick
Fox. Listed as a forward, Day spends
most of his time on the perimeter
where he has used his height and shoot
ing touch to become one of the nation's
top three-point shooters. But like the
sharpshooting Fox, Day also has the
ability to take the ball to the hoop with
remarkable success.
Day's height and inside-outside of
fensive repertoire present matchup
problems for any team, and the Tar
Heels are no exception.
A logical choice for UNC would be
the 6-7 Fox, who has the size and quick
ness necessary to make it a long night
for Day. But that might be asking for
too much double-duty from Fox, who
is clearly the Tar Heels' No. 1 inside
outside threat at the offensive end of the
floor. Another potential problem with
Fox covering Day: the five-foul limit.
A second solution might have had
UNC's 6-5, 227-pound Kevin Madden
roughing up the Razorbacks' 1 98-pound
sophomore at every opportunity. But
Madden, as you probably already know
all too well, is out for the year after
tearing knee ligaments during
Monday's practice session.
So don't be surprised to see Pete
Chilcutt, Hubert Davis, Henrik Rodl or
even King Rice get their shot at Day.
But Chilcutt, perhaps the Tar Heels'
best overall defender, may be more
valuable on the boards. The 6-7 Rodl
and 6-4 but long-armed Davis will
probably try to force Day to take the
ball to the hoop where they can get
help from Chilcutt, Scott Williams and
George Lynch.
And Rice? Don't laugh. Just a few
weeks ago, the Tar Heels' box-and-one
with Rice pestering Georgia Tech's
Dennis Scott worked better than most
attempts to stop the Yellow Jackets'
mad bomber. But Rice's main respon
sibility will be slowing down Arkansas
point guard Lee Mayberry (15.0 ppg,
5.4 apg) and sparking UNC's defensive
toughness by example.
The Tar Heels' biggest concern after
Day will be Arkansas forward Lenzie
Howell (13.2 ppg, 5.2 rpg), a streaky
player if there ever was one. Howell, a
6-5 senior, loves the mid-range jumper
and can be nearly unstoppable when he
gets on a roll. UNC must stop him early
and often. High-flying forward Ron
Huery (1 1.2 ppg), the Razorbacks' top
threat off the bench, is more of a
fastbreak player but also fits Howell's
streaky mold.
In the middle the Razorbacks have
an impressive two-man shuttle system,
with senior Mario Credit (9.8 ppg, 4.0
rpg) and sophomore Oliver Miller ( 1 1 .0
ppg, 5.9 rpg) taking up plenty of space
in the lane.
The Razorbacks are not the Okla
. homa Sooners, but they're not the No.
7 team in the country for no reason
a 28-4 record will attest to that.
It will take another very strong team
effort for the Tar Heels to take one
more step on the road to the Final Four.
But that's the way it should be, isn't it?
Swimmers try to make a splash
By NEIL AMAT0
Staff Writer
WHAT: North Carolina men in the
NCAAs.
WHEN: Thursday through Satur
day, March 22-24.
4 WHERE: Indianapolis, Ind.
Indianapolis ? Aren ' t the Tar Heels ;
playing in Dallas?
- Yes, Tar Heel hoops fans, your
boys will be in Dallas. But the UNC
men's swim team ranked 17th in the
country, is also competing in the
NCAA Championships.
North Carolina will send eight
swimmers to compete in nine individ
ual events and five relays in an at
tempt to make a splash nationally and
-avenge last season's disappointing
36th-place finish.
a: Leading the Tar Heels into the
season finale is junior John Davis.:
The Weston, Conn., junior, will
compete in the three ; events -- the
1 00- and 200-yard freestyles and the
200-yard individual medley- in which
he holds ACC records. In last year's
NCAAs, Davis was hampered by a leg
infection and swam subpar times. This
year, however, Davis is raring to go to,
UNC head coach Frank Comfort thinks
Davis should fare well in Indianapolis.
"He's our most experienced swim
mer at the NCAA level," Comfort said.
"He looks fantastic right now, as do the
other seven swimmers."
Those other seven swimmers are
Marc Ferguson, Gary Gauch, Rich
Gleason, Jed Guenther, David Monas
terio, Tony Monasterio and Tod Schroe
der, Guenther, a senior co-captain from
Berwyn, Pa., will swim freestyle in
three relays while Gleason will swim
backstroke in the two medley relays.
, Ferguson, mainly a distance swim
mer, will swim the 400-yard individual
medley and the 500- and 1,650-yard
freestyles. He owns a UNC-record time
of 15:17.18 in the 1,650.
Gauch, an ACC record holder in the
100-yard breaststroke (55.41 sec-,
onds), will swim that event. Schroe
der, who has the ACC's best time in
the 50-yard freestyle at 20.09, will
represent the Tar Heels in that event
and the 100 free.
Tony Monasterio, a senior, will
help out on the 200-yard freestyle
relay. His brother David, a freshman,
will swim the 200-yard butterfly, 500
yard free and 200-yard free. The
younger Monasterio, who holds the
school record in the 500 free (4 : 25 ,4 1 )
and was an ACC champion in the 200
fly (1:47.72), will also contribute in
three relays.
Comfort, who has been the Tar
Heels mentor for the last 1 3 seasons,
didn't want to go out on a limb and
make predictions about how his squad
would perform.
"We just want to swim up to our
capabilities,' Comfort said. "We want
to swim as fast or faster than we have
before."

Rose cooperates to avoid prison
From Associated Press Reports
CINCINNATI Former Cincin
nati Reds manager Pete Rose is cooper
ating with a federal investigation into
his income taxes in hopes of avoiding a
prison term, a newspaper reported
Wednesday.
The Cincinnati Post reported that
prosecutors are considering filing
charges of failing to report income rather
than income tax evasion in exchange
for Rose's cooperation.
A grand jury has been looking into
Rose's taxes for the past year, examin
ing evidence that he may have failed to
report income from racetrack winnings
and baseball memorabilia shows.
Conviction on the evasion charge
carries a maximum five-year sentence
with a $250,000 fine while failure to
report income is punishable by a maxi
mum of three years and a $250,000
fine. Both charges also call for back
taxes, penalties and interest.
Grand jury investigations are sup
posed to be secret, and Rose spokes
woman Barbara Pinzka blamed the
report on a leak.
"My indications are that it's from the
prosecutor's side, but I don't have
anything to support that," Pinzka said.
"We're very concerned that there's been
a leak, because leaks are incomplete. "
Rose's lawyers provided federal
authorities with Rose's financial rec
ords from 1985 to 1988.
Lockout efforts continue
NEW YORK Baseball and CBS
could not complete their effort to re
store the 162-game schedule on
Wednesday, but both the
commissioner's office and the network
said they were hopeful it could be done
within a few days. The first week of the
season was wiped out because of the
owners' 32-day spring training lock
out, and the first week of games must be
rescheduled for there to be a full sea
son. The option being given the most
attention is extending the season by
three days and trying to reschedule two
games during the season, according to
officials at the network, the
commissioner's office and the players
association.
"We're trying to preserve the 162
game schedule and we hope we'll be
successful," said Rich Levin, a spokes-;
man for the commissioner's office. ,
CBS begins its $1.06 billion, four-;
year contract with baseball this season. ;
The network expected the playoffs to ;
start on Tuesday, Oct. 1 , and the World ;
Series to begin on Saturday, Oct. 13.
Commissioner Fay Vincent said Tues-;
day the preferred method would be to ;
play the last week of the season during
the first week of October, and push ;
back the postseason by a week.
Under the plan being discussed,;
American League teams would make
up their scheduled opening series dur
ing the season and play what had been ;
their first scheduled weekend series on -Oct.
1 -3. AL teams only make two trips ;
to each city per season, while National
League teams make three trips to each'
team in their division. '
