Lane, the only letterman Coach McEver could find available when he re
ported to Carolina, received a broken ankle in the Cherry Point game and
has been out of action since and prob-
ably for the rest of the season. The
principal of the high school found this
out and acquired the services of the
Marine gridder as coach for the re
mainder of the year. John Anderson,
another Marine, was head coach be
fore he left Carolina the first of No
vember. Coaching is nothing new for Tom,
, since he coached the school's baseball
team last spring and mentored the
basketball team too. His diamond
team enjoyed a successful season, as
did his cage squad.
Since taking over football duties
from Anderson, Lane's gang of spirit
ed youngsters have won their last two
battles from Bragtown and Siler City
by sizeable scores.

Carnevale for stretching the number
of Milligan basketball players there

pointed cage mentor. The first day of
practice Carnevale was looking every
where for the five Milligan boys, but
was successful in finding only one. .
That was Fred Allan, a star center for
theMilligan crew last season. . .
Coach Carnevale is rapidly cutting his
squad of eighty candidates in order
to get a more convenient group with

will again handle the "B" team.
Before the Bainbridge-Pre-Flight
game, 14 of Bainbridge's players were
reported to be injured, but the trip
to Chapel Hill -must have recuperated
them awful quick, because none of the
outstanding gridders were ailing that
day. . . . Propaganda, eh! . . . Claude

In 1929 Coach Gene McEver was

tackle, is about Carolina's only can

While at Duke, Kerns received a lot
of publicity along this line and if he

be in line for a position.

Victory Over
Georgia Navy
Graham Leads Way
For One-Sided Win
Making their comeback from a 52-20
liclang Bainbndge dished out last
week, the Cloudbusters ran away with
the Georgia Pre-flight game by an easy
3o-18 victory in Athens, Georgia last
Saturday.
Otto Graham was the man of the
day and stepped into the spotlight by
slinging and toting the leather for four
of the 'Busters touchdowns. Graham
also set up the final score of the game
with his accurate heaving and ball car
rying.
After the first six minutes of play
the Cloudbusters had racked up their
first score of the game and held their
lead for the rest of the day. The North
Carolina team began its first drive from
the 42 yard line with Bill Pearce and
Stan Koslowski gaining most of the
ground. Graham passed to Sheehan,
and the extra point was put between
the goal posts by Buell St. John.
In the second quarter the 'Busters
added another 7 points to their score
by Graham's passes to Fellabaum
Aschenbrenner and Anderson and
Anderson crossed the line.
The Skycrackers made a desperate
attempt to get back into the ball game
and scored their first touchdown just
before the half ended by going over
from the three yard line by a pass from
Stanczak's to Drewes. It was a prac
tically useless attempt for the Georg
ans because another pass from Graham
to Fellabaum was good for another
six points.
Carolina Pre-flighters swept across
the goal two more times in the fourth
period with Graham driving over from
the 5 yard line and' Bassey hitting the
line to pay dirt from the 3. Georgia's
final splurg in the last few minutes
resulted in a score with Stanczak pass
ing to Nugent in the end zone.
The biggest thrill of the game came
in the third quarter when Aschenbren
ner faked a punt from his five yard
line and threw Graham a screen pass.
The all-american from Northwestern
took the ball and ran the remaining 95
yards of the field only to find that it
nullified because of a clipping penalty.
'By Football Team, Ye Shall Know Them'
Says Ex-Editor About Carolina's Grid Team
(Editors Note: Ensign Horace W.
Carter, former editor of the Tar Heel,
wrote the following article concerning
the pertinent football question that is
confronting Carolina at the present.
Ensign Carter has just finished four
months training at Notre Dame uni
versity.)
"By their football team, ye shall
know them," might be a verse which
all America has adopted during recent
years regarding the recognition of in
stitutions of the nation.
It is for this reason that I am writ
ing' this letter to the Tar Heel in hopes
that the editors will see fit to print it.
Not long ago the trustees of the Uni
versity made a move toward insuring
the people of North Carolina that the
Tar Heel gridsters would be on a par
with the rest of the nation in the post
war world. But since that time, much
has happened with the old grads split
ting attitudes over the question.
To make the situation much more
complicated, Dr. Frank, who I re
spect more than any other man in North
Carolina and sincerely believe him to
be the South's foremost educator, is
against any athletic move that calls
for wholesale spending of money. Dr.
Frank is sincere in his belief that no
football coach should receive a salary
higher than the dean of administra
tion. Now there is no denying that it does
seem tragic to pay a grid coach more
money than the foremost educators of
the University. But at the same time,
football has long since ceased te be a
mere sport, although it is that too. It
is a criterion by which the rest of the
nation measures the standards ,of the

Hockey Squad To Drill
Tish Andrews, manager of the
women's hockey team has asked that
all girls interested, in playing on
the varsity hockey team meet at
Kenan Stadium Friday afternoon at

Plans are being made for Caro
lina to play the Duke varsity in the

school. It is something like a barometer
of a schools capability to match wits
with the other institutions which it
finds on the schedule.
Take this season for instance, there
is no denying that the players have
played good, honest and clean football.
They have tried probably harder than
any previous team but to little or no
avail. This is a warring era, however,
and not too. many people expect a
world better, but they do expect to
be able to hold up their heads wher
ever they are, and be glad - they
went to the University of North Caro
lina. Let me tell you it is not easy
now when you are among football en
thusiasts." I just completed four months train
ing at the University of Notre Dame.
But the day I set foot on Irish soil, I
was really in for a surprise. I had
heard all my life of the University of
Notre Dame and its traditional great
football teams. I expected to see ath
letic facilities unmatched anywhere.
That was the wrong impression. They
have nothing to compare with the un
limited facilities of Carolina. There are
no massive gymnasiums like Woollen,
no pools as nice as Bowman Grey, and
only one football field, that the stadium
which was built in recent years. There
are no fine practice fields like Fetzer
and the hoard of others that are taken
for granted in Chapel Hill. Further
more it is not a big school. Carolina
has many more buildings and usually
more students; Carolina definitely has
a larger enrollment right now but do
their football teams stand equal?
Notre Dame has taken advantage of

Monday and select from them the 30-
man roster.
Drills are continuing from 5:30 to
7:30 each evening, and although the
one game with Ft. Bragg is almost def
finite, no other schedule has been an
nounced. It is anticipated that some 25
games will be played, however, includ
ing about 15 conference tilts and 10
with leading serviceman teams of the
vicinity.

Prizes for the winners will be an
nounced later, it was stated. First,
second and third awards will be of

PREDICTIONS
Sports Staff Meets
On Wednesday at 4:30
An important meeting of ' the
sports staff of the Tar Heel will be
Kel? on Wednesday afternoon at
4:30 in the office at Graham Me
morial. It is urgent that all present staff
members be present at this meeting.
Any one wishing to write sports are
welcomed also.
a few really great football players
like Rockne and "Gipper" and from
them moulded a tradition. Now they
only have to scour the countryside for
prospects, bring them in under careful
tutoring for a year or so, and a fine
football eleven is the result.
North Carolina has to wake up to
athletics. Athletics is the very body
and soul of the University possibly
the nation and as Frank Leahy recent
ly stated keeps America from having
the imperialistic desires of Germany
and Japan. .
In the postwar world, thousands of
service men are going to jam the streets
of Chapel Hill. Among them will be
athletes and hundreds of other athletes
can be procured over the nation for the
asking and perhaps a chance to earn
yes earn an education by playing
football. Football is elsewhere and
should be at Carolina just as upstand
ing a way of working through college
as jerking sodas or serving tables. It
is the only way many students can get
through college.
I contend that no one has the Uni
versity at heart more than I. I will
always cherish Carolina and Chapel
Hill win or lose forever. But it would
make life considerably more pleasant
to know you could return to her in the
fall and see spirited athletes fight any
scheduled eleven on even terms. It just
doesn't seem right to go through
Chapel Hill on the day they are play
ing at home to see a Duke Puddleburg
ball game because they have ball clubs
and Carolina doesn't.

In Grid Battle
By Score, 0-0
Several Goal Bids
Made by Tar Heels
Carolina with-stood a desperate last
minute drive by the William and Mary
Indians as the two evenly matched
teams battled to a scoreless deadlock
last Saturday afternoon before 3,000
excited fans.
The Tar Heels dominated play all
afternoon, but had to put on added
pressure in the fading seconds of the
contest and the game ended with the
Indians in possession of the pigskin on
Carolina's eight yard line.
Four strong threats were made dur
ing the encounter, but neither team
seemed to offer enough offensive spark
to cross the goal stripe.
Pas interceptions and fumbles again
proved a hazard to Carolina's hopes as
two touchdown drives were blockaded
in the second and fourth quarters.
The first Carolina threat came mid
way the second period with Warren,
Camp and Voris standing out. Mag
dziak kicked to his own 47 yard line
and Voris returned it to the 40. Voris
ripped off four yards through left
guard and the next play the former
"Army frosh star streaked to the
Indians 19 yard line. Jack Dean on a
quarterback sneak weaved his way to
the 13 before being hauled down. Voris
was hit hard and fumbled and the loose
ball was recovered by Wright, the
Indians left end and Magdziak kicked
out.
Again in the second quarter the Tar
Heels seemed goalward bound as Bob
Warren recovered Magdziak's fumble
on Carolina's own 40 yard stripe. War
ren heaved a beautiful pass into the
waiting arms of Jim Camp and the
flashy back raced 23 yards down to the
Indians 37 yard line before he was
knocked out of bounds. Warren's pass
was incomplete, but on the next play
the Goldsboro gridder skirted 18 yards
to the 19. But on the three following
plays Carolina has possession of the
ball on their 43 as the half ended.
Both teams exchanged punts during
the third quarter and no serious threats
were made.
After two minutes had gone by in
the final period, Carolina took over on
their own 40 after holding the Indians
on downs. Warren went around end
for two yards and Camp gains three
on a reverse. Camp broke into the clear
and makes it a first down on William
and Mary's 38 before he is pulled
down from behind. Voris cracked cen
ter for two and Dean on a quarterback
sneak added another first down on the
25. Camp on a reverse picked up four
yards. Warren weaved his way 13
yards and another first down on the
eight yard stripe. Voris hits center
for three yards, but lost a yard on the
next try. Warren's pass intended for
Bauer was intercepted in the end zone
and another march was brought to a
halt.
Carolina doubled the number of first
downs that William and Mary was able
to acquire through the stiff Tar Heel
forward wall and outrushed the
Indians, but completed only 2 passes
out of the twelve attempted.
William and Mary drove deep into
Carolina territory after Thompson re
covered Bill Voris's fumble on the Tar
Heels 29 yard mark and gave the
Indians the only break of the game.
Hard running Jack Bruce was thrown
for a three yard loss by Bauer and
Weant, but Magdziak passed to Macki
