North Carolina as a whole looked as if its world was crumbling.

The emotions of the respective teams were reflected in Saturday's end result at Kenan Stadium Duke 25, NC 10. On a day when the game itself seemed secondary to the ongoing saga of UNC coach Dick Crum's job status, Slayden passed for 278 yards and Hines pulled down five catches for 122 yards to lead the inspired Blue Devils to a surprisingly easy triumph. The Tar Heels, meanwhile, looked emo were that Dorn was suffering from bruised ribs, while Maye re-injured a strained knee. And with UNC backup quarterback Dan Walkowiak unable to move the offense, the show belonged to Slayden and Hines. Slayden completed 23-of-36 passes for his 278 yards, including two touchdown tosses to his star receiver.

"He (Slayden) proved what he has proven all year long that he is a good passer," said Duke coach Steve Spurrier as the Blue Devils finished the year at 5-6 (2-5 conference). "He has really learned to play quarterback these last couple of weeks." Slayden and Hines hooked up for their first score In the second quarter to snap a 3-3 tie. Hines ran a deep route for the right corner of the end zone and pulled down a 30-yard aer ial, capping a five-play, 79-yard drive with 7:06 left in the first half. Placekicker Doug Peterson, who otherwise contributed field goals of 20 and 55 yards for the day, missed the extra point, and Duke led 9-3. UNC reclaimed the lead 10-9 on Dorn's I-yard scoring run with 2:40 on the second-quarter clock, but Slayden and Hines quickly went to work again to hand Duke the lead for good.

On the Blue Devils' first possession of the second half, Slayden completed 5-of-5 passes for 63 yards on a 74-yard march. The drive ended when Slayden looped a 27-yard scoring pass to Hines, who had beaten single coverage in the left corner of the end zone. After a two-point conversion run failed, Duke led 15-10 just See DUKE, Page 4B tionally crippled following a week's worth of contradicting reports as to whether Crum would resign or be fired after Saturday's season-ending contest. But UNC officials said midway through the week that Crum would not be fired, and Crum, who saw his club fall to 5-6 (3-4 in the ACC), said after Saturday's game that nothing had changed regarding his situation. "I've been the head football coach here for 10 years and I have four years to go on my contract," he said.

"When or if anything changes in that, you guys (media) will be the first to know. But until that time, I'm not going to even talk about it." But the Heels were physically crippled as well against the Blue Devils, losing tailback Torin Dorn and quarterback Mark Maye for nearly all of the second half.

The Mountaineers have replaced the Paladins and Moccasins as the dominant team in the league over the past two seasons. The Apps completed their second straight sweep of Southern Conference teams here Saturday, rolling past arch-rival Western Carolina 33-13.

The architect of the ASU program is 33-vear-old Snarl By DOUG MEAD Citizen Sports Editor CULLOWHEE Appalachian State kicked Western Carolina all over Whitmlre Stadium here Saturday.

The Mountaineers capitalized on an opportunistic defense and a solid kicking game to rout the Catamounts 33-13 in a Southern Conference contest before a crowd of 11,154. It was the seventh straight victory for the league champion Mountaineers (7-0, 9-2) and the fifth consecutive loss for the Catamounts (2-4, 4-7). Appalachian scored all of its points in the first half. Western's only touchdown came early in the third quarter on a 30-yard run up the middle by fullback Roy Johnson. Kirk Roach kicked the extra point, cutting the lead to 33-10.

The Cats had a chance for another score on their next possession, but tailback Carlton Terry was stopped for no gain on fourth-and-1, and ASU took over on its own 11-yard line. "I think up until that point we had a chance to come back," said WCU coach Bob Waters. Roach kicked a 57-yard field goal on the final play of the game, equaling the longest three-pointer of his career. It was his second field goal of the day and seventh in a row without a miss. Appalachian used a pair of blocked punts en route to a 26-point second quarter and retained possession of the Old Mountain Jug for the third consecutive season.

"Our kicking game took a lot away early," said Waters. "Those blocked punts seemed to take away a lot of the fire and emotion we came out for the (opening) kickoff with." Waters, who is suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease, said he plans to return for his 20th season as coach of the Catamounts. "We've got to get it turned around," he said. "I want to get into recruiting and our winter program. I will be back." The Mountaineers scored on four of their first five possessions and held a 33-3 lead at halftime.

ASU's first two touchdowns were set up by the kicking game. The Apps struck quickly after WCU punter Anthony Bare couldn't handle the snap from center. That gave ASU possession on the Western 34. Ten plays later tailback Tim See WCU, Page 7B WOODS Woods, one of the nation's youngest head coaches on any level. He is in only his fourth season with the Apps, and his 30 career victories tie him with Kidd Brewer as ASU's fifth-winningest all-time coach.

Woods arrived on the scene in 1983 as offensive coordinator under Coach Mack Brown, who stayed at ASU only one year. When Brown bolted for an assistant coaching job at Oklahoma, Woods was elevated to the head job. During the early 1980s under Coach Mike Working, and even before that, the Mountaineers had a reputation for playing high-scoring, exciting footbaa They also excelled in turnovers and losing. Under Woods, the Mountaineers don't exactly light up the scoreboard, but they do win with monotonous STEVE DIXON aitm rnoro ny 91 Catamount Quarterback Todd Cottrell Is Pressured By ASU's Anthony Dow Staff Photo Br ns Reid-Less Heels Nip No. 1 Syracuse In OT The Associated Press high four assists, as the Tar Heels rallied from a 14-point deficit with 15:39 to play in regulation.

"I've never seen Pete play like that," Smith said. "He rose to the occasion, as did all of our players. Our young players made many good big plays." No play was as big as Chilcutt's jumper from the foul line that bounced around the rim as the final buzzer sounded and then fell through to tie the game at 85-85 and force the overtime. "I felt like it was straight on target, just a little hard," Chilcutt said of the shot that tied the game. "It was a lucky shot." Luck was absent from the Syracuse bench for the second straight game as the Orangemen lost to North Carolina after falling to Indiana by one point in last year's NCAA championship game.

"Defensively they caused us a lot of problems," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. "There was no way to get it into Rony (Seika-ly) in the second half." Ranzino Smith scored 21 points and Jeff Lebo added 20 for the Tar Heels, while Fox, a freshman, had 15 and Williams, a sophomore, 14. SPRINGFIELD, Mass.

Syracuse's last lead came on a short jumper by Stephen Thompson that made it 91-; 89, but North Carolina scored the next five' points, the last two free throws by Lebo with 21 seconds to play. Syracuse freshman Matt Roe made two free throws but they were offset by a dunk by Fox with four seconds left. "Yeah, Roe was supposed to miss the sec-' ond free throw," Boeheim said.

In fact, the top five crowds ever to see ASU home games have all come with Woods at the helm of the Mountaineer ship. The Apps are a much different team now. They don't throw the ball very much, but they are an effective passing team, and they aren't terribly exciting. They play the same way, week in and week out win, win, win. "We don't lead the league in any statistic other than scoring defense," said Woods.

"We don't have a great passer; receiver or running back. And on defense we don't have anybody the caliber of (former ASU linebacker) Dino Hackelt. "We certainly haven't killed anybody," 'he added. "We've just managed to win. There are probably a lot of teams who have more all-conference players than we do, but this team has played hard and played together!" Woods contends he hasn't used uny magic formula to effect the sudden turnaround in Mountaineer football.

"We just go out and work hard and try to play consistent football," he said. "We try to approach every game the same, whether it's for the conference championship or against the last-place team in the league. We try and respect all our opponents equally." Woods was 4-7 in his first year at Appalachian and he remembers what an awful season it was lopsided losses to Western and Marshall, along with a humiliating defeat at the hands of Virginia Military. Now the shoe is on the other foot. "Three years ago people didn't respect us, and that was a mistake," he said.

Clemson was silent all week by order of Coach Danny Ford. The Clemson offense was nearly as silent Saturday evening by order of South Carolina.

The Gamecocks also held Clemson to 166 yards on offense, the lowest total ever by the Tigers under Ford.

But none of that mattered Saturday night, only that the Gamecocks had beaten their bitter rivals. "There's not a word to desribe it," said Brad Edwards, who returned an interception 40 yards In the final period to seal the victory. "This is such a big game and a game you don't even have to talk about. You can just feel the hype that goes into it. It's just a tremendous, tremendous experience." Ford, who prohibited his players from talking to the media this past week, said the Gamecocks just outplayed his team in the 85th meeting between the two in-state rivals.

"We have to commend South Carolina," Ford said. "They played very well against us." Afterwards, the Tigers accepted a bid to play in the Citrus Bowl on New Year's Day against Penn State. Ford said he was happy his team had a chance to play another game. "We're thankful that we have an opportunity to end the season on a different note," Ford said.
