TOE SUN SECTION Sports 2 Giants quarterback Phil Simms seems to have the Redskins' number. S3 SUNDAY OCTOBER 28, 1990 In biggest game, Terps come up smallest, 34-10 jB HNa-t'- yy? lji. N. Carolina shatters dreams of a bowl By Mike Preston Sun Staff Correspondent CHAPEL HILL, N.C. It was, perhaps, their biggest game in the past four years.

And in it, the University of Maryland was routed by North Carolina, 34-10, yesterday before 46,000 at Kenan Stadium, practically eliminating any chances the Terps had to play In a bowl game. In addition, the loss puts Maryland (5-4 overall, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) in the unenviable position of having to win Nov. 10 at Penn State (against a team it hasn't beaten since 1961) or at No. 1-ranked Virginia on Nov. 17 to avoid a fourth straight losing season.

"By far, this was the most disappointing loss in my career here," said Maryland senior nose guard Rick Fleece. "With this loss, It will be tough for us to get ourselves up. I'm not saying we can't win those games, but winning this one would have made it a hell of a lot easier. A win would have pumped us up to another level." ACC standings Conf.

N.C. It wasn't Just another loss. It was an utter embarrassment, a head-to-toe-and-back-again shaking that put back in play all those questions the Maryland Terrapins thought they had exorcised from their little world. Is the coach's Job safe? Is the team any good? Is the program moving in the right direction? The Terrapins had hoped all that was behind them. It Is not.

Allow Purzycki his moment of tasteless overstatement. But he and his players were going to savor this one, especially after some of the comments they heard during the past week about last year's game. "All you heard from Navy was how thev were embarrassed about last year." said Purzycki, alluding to James Madison's 24-20 victory. "If you say you're embarrassed, there's a connotation that you don't respect your opponent." Navy (3-4) certainly respects It all came after a noisy new Blast introduction that not only assaulted the eardrums of the fans but resulted in Baltimore midfielder Joey Bar-ger getting a piece of glass In his eye when he came through the large exploding sticks of dynamite.

Barger tried to play a couple of shifts and had to leave the floor. He said: "I had my eye washed out but it still hurts. I guess I must have scratched my cornea. I'll have to wear a patch over my eye for 24 hours." It was all the beginning of a new era for the Blast, featuring a new opening ceremony, a team mascot dressed up as a construction worker carrying dynamite, new professional cheerleaders and new blue and white uniforms. But when St.

Louis scored the first four goals of the game for a 4-0 lead in Just the first eight minutes, it looked as if disaster had struck the Blast. Baltimore (1-2) was coming off a 7-6, overtime loss to the Kansas City Comets Friday night (blowing a 4-0 third-quarter lead) and was seeking its first win of the season, having lost all four of its pre-season games, also.

With most of the racing world and a significant number of others watching either here or on TV.

the great filly Go For Wand fell and lost her life yesterday, as she approached the finish line of what would have been her finest triumph. Winner of 10 races in 12 starts and headed for No. 1 1 in the $1 million Breeders' Cup Distaff, the filly from Mrs. Jane Lunger's Christiana Stable had reached the 16th pole at Belmont Park when tragedy struck. With the crowd of 51 ,236 roaring its approval of a battle with Bayak-oa, Go For Wand, perhaps a head In front, suddenly fell as the result of a breakdown In her right front ankle.

She suffered several ruptured ligaments. As jockey Randy Romero rolled away, trying to avoid further Injury from trailing horses, Go For Wand got up and tried to limp away before she was caught.

Domenlc Moblllo (four goals), Billy Ronson (one goal, six assists) and Tim Wlttman (three goals) led the Blast scoring assault that came after St. Louis had taken a 5-2 lead at halftime. Baltimore outscored the Storm, 1 1 -4, in the second half to set a team record for the most goals in a half.

Go For Wand was voted best 2-year-fllly in the nation last year and was considered a cinch to win an Eclipse Award as the leading 3-year-old filly this year. Speculation among some voters yesterday indicated that she might draw a significant number of ballots as Horse of the Year.

Ron McAnally, trainer of Bayakoa, had to fight back tears, as he talked about Go For Wand being a "game filly."
