MOYERS TAKES LEAD IN SENIOR QUALIFYING

Bob Moyers of New Market fired a four-under-par 68 Monday to lead 160 golfers in first day of qualifying for the Virginia Seniors championship in Hot Springs.

Moyers' round over the Lower Cascades course of The Homestead was five shots lower than Bill McIntyre of Staunton and Ned Baber of Roanoke, who posted one-over-par 73s.

C.H. Smith of Hampton and Bill McDonald of Fairfax were six shots back at 74.

After a final qualifying round today, 31 players will join defending champion and five-time winner Moss Beecroft in two matches Wednesday.

An additional two matches Thursday will leave two survivors to play an 18-hole match Friday for the title.

In other sports news:

One North Carolina State football player was suspended Monday and four others were placed on probation by coach Mike O'Cain following a weekend break-in and assault at the apartment of a basketball player.

Duan Everett, a potential starting outside linebacker from Wilmington, N.C., was hit with at least a six-game suspension a week after reserve running back Carlos King, who scored six touchdowns in 1994 as a backup, was slapped with a six-game suspension for breaking a team rule.

The suspensions would include the Wolfpack's Sept.16 game at No.1 Florida State and an Oct.7 game at Alabama. It also would severely hurt the team's depth.

The other players charged with misdemeanor breaking and entering and assault charges in the Sunday morning incident were defensive lineman Mike Harrison, defensive backs Ricky Bell and James Walker, and offensive lineman Lamont McCauley.

They were placed on probation pending a Sept.21 court date in Wake County. O'Cain, who along with athletic director Todd Turner and basketball coach Les Robinson met with those involved in the 3:30 a.m. incident, said those four players could be suspended at a later date if found guilty.

But he also said charges could be dropped. Team officials said the incident apparently stemmed from a dispute over a woman who was believed to be dating one of the football players.

Chris Robinson, a 1991 graduate of Virginia Tech, has been appointed an administrative assistant in the Hokies' football office.

In the newly created position, he will serve as a liaison between the academic community and football and also will help the Hokies in their recruiting efforts. Robinson also will assist John Ballein, assistant to the head coach, with the operation of Tech's football camps and coaching clinics.

Robinson most recently worked as a graduate assistant in recruiting and football administration at the University of South Carolina. In 1993, he was an assistant football coach at Christiansburg High School.

The University of Virginia had 185 student-athletes on the ACC Honor Roll for the 1994-95 academic year.

Virginia's total was second behind Duke among the nine conference schools. Duke (236) was followed by Virginia, North Carolina (184), Maryland (120), North Carolina State (116), Florida State (108), Wake Forest (99), Clemson (83) and Georgia Tech (54).

The ACC Honor Roll comprises student-athletes who participated in a varsity-level sport and registered a grade point average of 3.0 or better for the full academic year.
