cause it's an issue that needs tobe addressed for all the rightreasons."

On Tuesday, Arizona votersrejected the King proposal; andby Wednesday, they learned theSuper Bowl was in jeopardy. Thevote led Virginia officials to pon-der the prospect of rejecting aninvitation, should one be ten-dered. Cavalier football playershave scheduled a meeting inCharlottesville on Sunday totalk about bowl. prospects,among other things.

"Coach (George) Welsh hastold us to stay away from all thetalk," Moore said. "We don'tknow what's going to happen.Maybe something better willopen up. We just really don'tknow right now."

Not all of Welsh's playersheeded that advice.

"I think it's a travesty thatthey don't honor Martin LutherKing's birthday," defensivetackle Joe Hall said. "But I'm nota politician, I'm a football player.Maybe we could do some good ifwe did go there."

Wide receiver Derek Dooleysaid the game and the vote wereseparate matters.

"I don't see how the FiestaBowl has anything to do with thecitizens' decision but there not tocelebrate a holiday," Dooley said."If we do go to the Fiesta Bowl,that doesn't support their de-cision not to have a holiday. If wedon't go, I don't know what kindof statement that will make. Idon't think it'll make any impacton the people there."

Welsh did avoid the matter,except to say he would like tohave the issue resolved by mid-week. Although Virginia athleticdirector Jim Copeland said ear-lier in the week that he was cer-tain his football team would beplaying in a bowl game on NewYear's Day, Welsh said there ismore than one game to choosefrom.

"Who says we're going to theFiesta Bowl?" he asked,

Moore, the nation's top-ratedpasser, hit Herman Moore with a13-yard touchdown pass to endVirginia's initial drive of the so-ggy afternoon. He then connec-ted with Terry1 Kirby on a42-yard scoring play with 4:46left before halftime. Nikki Fisherhad a 2-yard dash around leftend for a score late in the firstquarter.

Herman Moore, playing de-spite two sprained big toes, setan NCAA record by catching aTD pass pass in his ninth conse-cutive, game and tied anothermark by running his regular-season string to 10 games. Alth-ough Moore caught five passesfor 99 yards, 'his quarterbacksaid it was. obvious that painslowed him down.

"He was hurting today,"Shawn Moore said. "I could tell. Ireally didn't know if he could rununder any long balls today. Buthe showed that he's strong. Hewent out and sucked it up andplayed a heck of a game."

The Cavaliers (8-1 overall, 5-1Atlantic Coast Conference) con-tinued with their standard first-half offensive outburst, runningup a 21-3 lead. But just as it didin the loss to Georgia Tech jastweekend, the offense struggledand managed only a field goal inthe closing 30 minutes.

"We definitely wanted 28points by the half after we real-ized we were that close," ShawnMoore said. "It was just unfor-tunate that we had a fumble."

Jake Melnerney's 40-yard fieldgoal with 5:53 left in the third•period capped the Virginia scor-ing, and marked Virginia's se-cond-lowest output this season.The Cavaliers beat Clemson 20-7in September:

The North Carolina defensehasn't permitted a second-halftouchdown in its last sevengames.

"Coach Welsh told me thatwas the best they had been de-fensed all year," North Carolinacoach Mack Brown said."But wedidn't make anything happenoffensively. And give the Vir-ginia defense credit for that.That wasn't the same defensethat gave up 41 points lastweek."

North Carolina (5-4-1, 2-2-1ACC) failed to capitalize on EricBlount's game-opening, 41-yardkickoff return. Then the offensestopped itself twice inside theVirginia. 40 in the first half. Thesecond time was costly.

Natrone Means fumbled aftera 6-yard run and Benson Good-wyn recovered for the Cavaliers,at the 18. Virginia couldn't movethe ball and punted to NorthCarolina, but quarterback ToddBurnett fumbled the snap on thenext play and P.J. Killian re-covered for Virginia at the Cava-lier 34.

Seven plays later, ShawnMoore hit Kirby along the rightsideline for the score and the21-3 lead.

Another Virginia scoringmarch was halted when ShawnMoore fumbled the snap fromcenter and Austin Bobbins re-covered for North Carolina justbefore the half.

Chuckie Burnette replacedBurnett in the fourth quarter.Burnett completed seven of 20passes for 71 yards and wassacked five times.

Fiesta willmove to keeptop bowl teams

PHOENIX (AP) — Officialsof the Sunkist Fiesta Bowlhave lined up stadiums inother Sun Belt states and willmove the bowl if high-rankingteams refuse to play in Ari-zona, the chairman of thebowl's selection committeesaid Saturday.

Don Meyers also said thebowl had extended an invita-tion to llth-ranked Virginia,which moved to 8-1 by defeat-ing .North Carolina earlier inthe day. . . v .

The other team hasn't beenchosen, Meyers said in aninterview with KTVK-TV.

There was no immediatereaction from Virginia. UnderNCAA rules, teams may notformally accept a bowl invita-tion until Nov. 24, althoughdeals are struck and bowllineups are set long beforethen.

On Friday, Meyers said top-ranked Notre Dame (8-1) or aSoutheastern Conferenceteam would be the other reci-pient of an invitation.

The state has been stungbynational criticism since Tues-day, when voters rejected by a51-49 margin a referendumwhich would have created apaid state holiday honoringthe late Martin Luther KingJr.

Analysts and observershere have said they believethe measure would have beenapproved had CBS Sports notaired a segment on Nov. 4 inwhich the NFL threatened topull the 1993 Super Bowl outof Arizona if the propositiondid not pass.

The NFL last spring awar-ded its premier attraction toSun Devil Stadium in subur-ban Tcmpe, the .home of thePhoenix Cardinals since 1988and of the Fiesta Bowl sinceits inaugural contest on Dec.27,1971.

Meyers, interviewed at hisresidence in Paradise Valley,did not go. into detail aboutthe arrangements with otherstadiums or scheduling. Since1982, the Fiesta Bowl hasbeen played on New Year'sDay or Jan. 2.

He said he and other bowlofficials were aware of thesentiments expressed byplayers or faculty at Virginia,Penn State and Notre Dameabout the prospect of playingin a state which gave the ap-pearance of racism.
