The Tar Heels, 19-0, have been on top of the poll in each of the reg ular-season polls but this was their first week as a unanimous choice. North Carolina received 1,240 points from the nationwide panel of sportswriters and broadcasters. Last season, Georgetown was a unani mous No. 1 choice six times and St. John’s was unopposed for one week. Duke, one of three teams to suffer its first loss of the season last week, was second in the voting with 1,089 points, 20 more than Memphis State, 17-0, of the Metro Conference. Georgia Tech, the third Atlantic Coast Conference team in the top four, was next with 1,058 points. Fifth-ranked Oklahoma, 17-0, had 997 points, just two more than Mich igan, which suffered its first defeat of the season last week — 73-63 to Minnesota — and fell from its No. 2 ranking last week. Rounding out the Top Ten were Kansas, 889 points, St. John’s, 754, Syracuse, 674, and Nevada-Las Ve gas, 669. North Carolina opened the 22,000-seat Dean Smith Student Ac tivities Center Saturday with a 95-92 victory over Duke. The Tar Heels traveled to Milwaukee that night for their nationally televised game at Marquette and overcame a nine- point deficit with four mihutes re maining to hold the No. 1 spot. Syracuse, fourth last week, dropped to ninth after losing a Big East Conference game to George town, 73-70, and a nationally tele vised game at Louisville on Satur day, 83-73. The Orangemen, 13-2, had played only one road game this season before embarking on the treacherous road trip last week. Glanville keeps Oilers’ job Interim coach gets nod after lengthy search Associated Press HOUSTON — Jerry Glanville, who took charge of the Houston Oil ers on an interim basis for the final two games of the 1985 season, Mon day was named head coach of the National Football League team. Glanville had to survive a long search by Oilers General Manager Ladd Herzeg and the scrutiny of owner Bud Ad ams before win ning out over two other finalists — San Fran cisco 49ers quarterback coach Paul Hackett and Dick Coury, former head coach of the United States Football League’s Portland Break ers. ‘ “The plan for this job is to have us work together as an organization,” Glanville, who sighed a five-year contract, said at a news conference. “Players will be injured and move on, but the organization will stahd. Other teams will be looking at us be cause we will win.” Adams, who has remained in the organization’s background over the past five years, said he was again be coming visible because he wanted a family atmosphere. “I’ve been laid back for the last five years and I don’t think that’s conducive to a winning ball club,” Adams said. “I don’t even know some of the players. If we’re going to have loyalty, they’re going to have to know the owner.” Herzeg said he was surprised that Glanville eventually was named coach. “When we started this search, I really thought we’d be bringing in someone new,” Herzeg said. “I really didn’t think Jerry would emerge. As we went through each cutdown list, he always came out on top.” Herzeg said Glanville, an NFL as sistant coach for 12 years, was the person who could get the “maxi mum potential from our football tal ent in the shortest possible time.” He also fit the three standards Oilers executives considered — NFL experience, confidence in himself and the football team, and the intent to hire veteran NFL assistants for his coaching staff. Glanville said he would begin as sembling that staff immediately, but could not divulge any prospects. Herzeg also said Glanville’s suc cess with the Atlanta Falcons, where he was defensive coach, was a factor. Glanville becomes the 13th head coach in the 27-year history of the franchise, replacing Hugh Camp bell, who was fired Dec. 9 with two Jerry Glanville games remaining in the 1985 season. Glanville, the team’s defensive coordinator for the past two seasons, replaced Campbell on an interim ba sis for the final two games of the sea son, both losses, leaving the Oilers with a 5-11 record. Herzeg, before naming his fourth head coach in five seasons as general manager, promised an exhaustive search before making his latest selec tion. The Oilers have not had a win ning season since 1980, when for mer Coach Bum Philips was fired on New Year’s Eve following an 11-5 season. Herzeg named Ed Biles, the de fensive coordinator under Phillips, as coach. Biles resigned six games into the 1983 season with an 8-23 re cord and Chuck Studley, Biles’ de fensive coordinator, finished out the season. Herzeg then hired Campbell and signed quarterback Warren Moon to a five-year, $5.5 million contract in what Herzeg later said was a package deal. Houston finished 3-13 in Camp bell’s first season and the team’s of fense was criticized at the end of the season. The Oilers won three straight games at mid-season in 1985, but then lost six of their final seven games and Campbell was dismissed following a 35-14 loss to the New York Giants. Glanville, 44, has been the Oilers’ defensive coordinator for the past two seasons. His youthful defense was a team strength through much of last season but it gave up big yard age over the final six games. Hackett, 38, has been the 49ers’ quarterback coach for the past three years and has five years of NFL coaching experience. Coury, 56, has been an offensive assistant at Denver and San Diego in the NFL and was head coach of the Breakers. , KARATE not actually Karate, but Tae Kwon Do from Korea Free with this ad. instruction the rest of January for new club members onlv .

HEALTH Through Chiropractic WITH Dr. Richard B. Vance FOR THE ACCIDENT VICTIM If you have bee involved in an accident, ore or more of the segments of the spinal coluiun could be misaligned sufficiently to produce pressure on nerve trunks. If this misalighment is not corrected, it means a slow process of degeneration or disease begins Many times sysptonis of injuries appear months, or years, after an accident. That is why anyone who is in volved in an accident should have a spinal examination by a Chiropractor to determine if misalignment does exist. A chiropractic examination doesn’t cost; it pays!
