War overshadows sporting events
The Associated Press
A major college basketball game in North Carolina was postponed, NBA players and fans held hands and NHL arenas observed moments of silence last night after war broke out in the Persian Gulf.
All professional sporting events went on as scheduled, but the NBA said it would seek guidance from the House and State Department today.
The NFL, with its conference championship games set for Sunday, and the NHL were waiting to make a decision on proceeding with scheduled games.
But in Chapel Hill, N.C., the game between No. 5 North Carolina and North Carolina State was postponed. The announcement was made around 8:25 p.m. EST, about a half-hour before tipoff.
"This is just a moment of recognition that our lives are changed," said University of North Carolina basketball coach Don Heisler, it is not a moment to play basketball.
North Carolina senior Pete Chilcutt has a brother serving in the gulf.
"I don't think our minds would have fully been on the game," said North Carolina's Rick Fox. "Some people might be disappointed, but life goes on other than basketball. And there are a lot more important things."
"That's a possibility," he said.
In Annapolis, Md., an announced attack on Iraq was made at halftime of the Richmond-Navy basketball game. About 40 percent of the fans went home at that point.
"The game matters to us, but the big thing for us now is what's going on over there," said Navy player Eric Harris.
Army was playing at Lafayette when news of the attack spread. There was no announcement of war, however.

In Los Angeles, Danny Manning was one of the first players to arrive for the Clippers' game against Washington. The locker room television, usually tuned to an NBA game, was set on news reports.
"It's very big," Manning said. "This is our country, we have our men over there fighting for us, and we want to know what's on."
There was a chance, although slight, that San Antonio Spurs basketball star David Robinson, a Navy reservist, would be called to active duty. But he would be assigned to duty in Washington, D.C., an official said.
"He's currently not assigned to a unit, so his chances of being called up are slim," Cmdr. Dottie Schmidt said.
"Ballgames and life go on during times of war," Hardin said. "Most of us remember times of war when you conduct life as near normally as possible. Therefore, there will be a need to take care of your activities. When that will seem appropriate, I can't tell at this moment."
"Since we attacked Baghdad, something serious could happen over here in the States as far as terrorist activity," he hopes that we are prepared for that."
In Milwaukee, Bucks players held hands in a circle before their game against Indiana. Fans at the Bucks' home court sang "We Are Going Home" before singing the national anthem.
The U.S. Naval Academy, however, will consider cancelling the rest of its basketball season, athletic director Jack Lengel said.
"It's real now," Buckes center jack Sikma said. "It's happened. We're not sure where it is, but I point. I think everybody had the opportunity to prepare themselves to

right now."
Television sets at refreshment stands in the stadium showed U.S.Australian news reports of the attack against Iraq.
No makeup date was set for the

match.
Inside the stadium, fans listened to radio reports as they watched the matches.
"No more war. Give peace a chance," a small group of fans chanted at the start of a match between defending champion Ivan Lendl and the United States' Scott Davis.

There was a moment of silence in New Jersey before the NHL game below.
"I upset and a little depressed," said Audi Henig, moments before she performed the national anthem at the Meadowlands. "I'm afraid there will be a lot of bloodshed. I'll be singing with a great deal of emotion. I'm already beginning to get choked up. In a situation like this, you begin to think about the words that you are singing."
