USC he pitched for the semiprofessional
team. Yet his
astounding success at Carolina
was as much of a surprise for him
as it was for everyone else.
"I never thought I could go
undefeated," he said, shaking his
head in disbelief. "But I realized
that as I won more, game after
game my confidence built up.
That's what you need to win. If you
have confidence you're going to
win."
ONCE HIS record was around 80,
the scouts began to approach
him. Most of them, Martz said, just
wanted to know who the heck he
was. He had hopes of getting in the
major league draft; and had
decided to play if the money was
right. When the Cubs chose him as
their number one pick (he was 12th
pick in the entire draft) he was
stunned, but realistic about the
situation.
"I decided to hold out for a
certain amount of money or else
not sign. If they hadn't offered me
enough I would have come back to
school last fall," he said.
His negotiations went well. "The
difficulty is how much they think
you're worth and how much you
think you are. The hard part is
figuring out who's closer to the
truth."
He reached an agreement and
signed with the Cubs, receiving his
bonus and $4,000 for his continued
education. His salary is now$l,000
per month for the five-month

root against you because they're
just looking out for themselves.
"I'd rather be contributing to the
team and have the whole team do
well, but that's impossible in the
minors and majors. There's so
much pressure to do individually
well, to think of yourself first. You
never see that in college ball,"
Martz said.

Goff said that he will have no trouble pulling for Carolina in this
jar's game. "I don't feel that I owe Georgia anything. I don't have any
eat vengeance, but I do want to beat them awful bad. Of course, I
>n't like to lose to anybody. I don't care who it is or where I went to
:hool, I want to win."
Goff said.that Carlen is the main reason that he is at Carolina. It took
ro trys for Carlen to land Goff, but the young assistant coach is happy
i is here.
"Coach Carlen offered me a job two years ago as a graduate
ssistant, and I didn't come. I felt like there were some things I needed
) do in Athens aUhe University of Georgia. Then in December he called
ie up on the phone and offered me a job and I accepted without any
?ervations and came over in March."
Now that Goff is on the Gamecock staff, he noted' there were
sveral differences between the philosophies of Georgia coach Vince
ooley and Carlen. "The maip difference is that we (Carolina) take a
reat interest in the athlete. We snend a whole lot of time with mir
layers, whereas, at Georgia they really didn't spend a lot of time with
du. "I don't mean that to sound bad because I loved it there and en>yed
every minute," he said.
GOFF SAYS that Georgia fans are "kind of spoiled. They have had
ig winners and if you don't win big every year, they want to get rid of
very body."

Wildcats come to town. "We're not going to try to do anything special,
re are just going to try to win the ballgame," said Goff. "Our quarsrbacks
are not going to try to do anything greatly different. 'There's
oing to be more pressure on them because they are playing a better
jam, but I have confidence in them and feel they will respond and do a
uper job," he said.

We have got to keep from making mistakes. That's the kind of team
bat Kentucky is. They try to beat you physically and take advantage
fyour mistakes. We're going to try to take it to them and that's what I
