THE TAR HEEL

PIGSKIN PROSPECTS
i.
This afternoon Coach Carl S navel js Tar Heel gridders face
their first collegiate test of the tough season ahead in the opener
with powerful Georgia Tech; and these hard-working lads, who
have been at the grind since Jnly 1, deserve all the support we
fans can gfre them. -
We are facing cne of the hardest schedules ever this year,
and this alone is enough to demoralize the young-, inexperienced
Tar Heel eleven; but if they know that all Carolina is back
of them, from the highest faculty member to the newest fresh
man, the UNC footballers will undoubtedly be more able to give
us the wins on the gridiron we have wanted so long.
Coach Suavely, who returns to the Tar Heel country after
an absence of nine years, is working with foresight. He not
only is after as good a team as possible this year, but the "Sil
ver Fox of football also has next season and the next after that
in mind. As the new head mentor said earlier in the summer,
"Carolina is going to hare good football, but you can't expect
too much too eootlT
However, the problem on hand now is that of defeating Geor
gia Tech this afternoon. It will be a tough encounter, one of
the four toughest we have this year, for the Orange Bowl losers
of last January 1 are rated by the experts as one of the best in
the South. This bears oat our first statement more and more.
We must be oat there today, giving our all to instill in the Tar
Heel men of the gridiron the spirit necessary to cope with the
Engineers from Atlanta way. How about it fans? Let's get
off to a good start and plan to keep it up till the final whistle
blows December 1. ,
This will b? the fourteenth meeting of Carolina and Tech,
and the Tar Heels will be after their fourth win, having lost
eight of the fourteen and tied two. Oddly enough, two of the
UNC triumphs over the Tech Golden Tornado came in 1934 and
1935 when King Carl Snavely was piloting the Tar Heels.
While we are oirthe subject of sports, we would like to take
the opportunity to give credit to the Navy for the great assist
ance it has been during the wartime period just terminating.
Having the service trainees on the campus has helped in many
ways, but the aid rendered in the sports program is one of the
biggest. The Pre-Flight school is just pulling out of Tar Heelia,
and it seems fitting and proper to say these few words at this
time.
First of all, the Navy has given materially, not wholly in dona
tions, but through building and improvements that would have
been impossible till years after the war. Probably the easiest
to see of the material contributions of the Navy is the outdoor
swimming pool, constructed back of Woollen gym soon after the
Pre-Flight school came into being. Other lesser improvements
have been made "by the Navy while here, but we will not take
time to go into all of them.
In addition to the things just mentioned, having the Pre-Flight
school here has brought teams and athletes here and produced
athletic contests probably never to be matched again. Such we
speak of are teams like the baseball club of a couple of years ago
on which men like Ted Williams and Johnny Pesky were the
stars.-Then there were the football teams, like the one last year,
and the basketball teams. Many good performances on both the
football field and the hardwood were turned in last year alone by
All-American Otto Graham and Stan Koslowski, grid great of
Holy Cross.
This in itself is' a. great contribution, but the placing of the
V-12, Marine and Navy, and the NROTC on the campus sup
plied Carolina sports with personnel which would have been im
possible to get had the servicemen not been around. We haven't
time to enumerate alL of the Navy men who have been outstand
ing for Carolina in athletics while in the training programs here,
but the fact that 26 of the members of the football roster at
the present time are in the Navy or Marines is enough in itself.
Also, during the past basketball season, Jim Jordan, a NROTC,
was selected on the second string Ail-American five. All the way
through, from baseball, to boxing, wrestling, track, swimming
and football, Navy and Marine men have been the backbone of
the teams. And it is only right Jthat we offer a vote of thanks
to the Navy for its aid through the trying wartime years. L S.
RUSHING

Coed rtu& week is no more but
EUii witft us are its jaded ladies,
mud-caked shoes, smokers' hacks,
and run stockings, and we former
rushees have a collection of choice
tales to tell those proverbial grand
children. The Tri Delts took us on a tour
of Chapel HAL Their Porthole was
a smoke-filled room with a bevy of
beer mugs; their arboretum was a
bush and two pairs of feet. The
Pi Phi's took off their halos long
enough to give "a can-can party
scantily covered dancers, hiccough
ing bartenders, and signs such as
""Don't spit on the floor. Remember
the Johnstown flood."
Although there was nothing novel
about the idea of a perfume party,
it was worth seeing two of them to
take the Pi Phi interpretation of
Tigress (redheaded Rusty Hancock
'with a cigaret holder), and the Chi
Omega slant of My Situ
There were some rare rush-week
boners, too. Young innocence
wanted to be an ATO and live in .

their beautiful house
Hopeful was
delighted when the Tri Delt's of
fered her mint julip; she nearly
choked on the first swallow of that
familiar lemon and saccarin. In a
certain philosophy class a bewilder
ed junior asked her neighbor, "Are
you a rushee?"
"No," answered the equally bewil
dered neighbor, "I'm Scotch-Irish."
There is one among us who
thought stray Greeks were hungry
refugees, and another who believed
they were exchange students. The
height of rush-week serenity showed
itself in the gray dawn of Sunday
morning. Excited rushees dashed
into Sybil Goerch's room with the
usual howls of "Which one are you
going to?"
'JWhy, I'm going to the Baptist
church," replied the ever-calm Sybil.
Rush week ended Sunday. Soon
after the infirmary announced plans
to go Greek diamond shaped toast,
crescent shaped butter, and arrows
instead of knives.

Via Editor, Tar HeeL
For the last week the attitude of
the Tar Heel has been "The Navy
is leaving at last, Hurrah!" To the
group remaining this attitude seems
incongruent with the contributions
made to the Carolina campus by the
Navy during its stay.
With reference to the social life
at Carolina it should be remem
bered that the Navy-sponsored
dances were enjoyed by all. I have
no doubt at all that even as you
took your backhand slap at the
Navy, you planned to attend the
coming Tri-Ad dance. In addition,
I should like to point to the Navy
men who kept Freddy Johnson's
band going, and to those Navy men
who have done so much for the
campus fraternities.
There is also the matter of the
Navy men who have formed the
backbone of the Carolina athletic
teams. Even with the return of for
mer Carolina men and with the im
porting of new civilian talent the
Navy still scores the points. The
Gorman-Ellison touchdown against
Camp Lee is as good an example as
any. All-American Jim Jordan's
outstanding basketball performance
should be remembered on the Caro
lina campus for years.
The Tar Heel should be the last
to welcome the departure of the
Navy. For some time its offices have
been well filled with Navy and 31a
line writers. ' .
It seems useless to point out the
outdoor swimming pool which was
enjoyed by civilians as well as Navy
personnel. The Pre-Flight Hospi
tal, now the University's "New In
firmary" falls in the same category.
Your complaints of lonely nights
might be construed as an admission
of your inability to get along with
the coeds. Perhaps the reason is
your lack of manners and gratitude.
It could be that a course in the same
taken under the Navy would help
a little, Mr. Seif. You might give it
a try ilorty, and if it doesn't work,
why T. S Mr. Seif. (That is of
course, T. S. with the proper defini

Dear Mr. Editor:
In reference to the article in the
September 25 edition of the "Tar
Heel" by one 3Iorty Seif, I think
that a few pertinent remarks are
in order. Hardly ever in the "Tar
Heel" does the editor permit such
infamous misrepresentation and
unjust bull-wash to appear, . es
pecially on the editorial page where
the space is supposedly limited to
things of some slight import. I
suggest that you incorporate a fifth
page in your "Tar Heel" for such
trash and then leave it out when
the paper is delivered.
Our fanciful young 3Iorty, who
seems to delight in handing out
literary black-eyes at random, evi
dently puts as little thought as pos
sible behind the meaning of what he
is writing. The whole tenor of his
article suggests that his exuberance
over the disbandment of the Pre
Flight School is due solely to the
possibility that at long last he can
get a date with a girl! (This theme
is sketchily camouflaged under the
usual noble words about "recon
version" and . "pre-war days" at
Carolina.) Dear Merry's inferiority
complex, coupled with an evident
tint of jealousy, must have caused
him to gnaw his fingernails con
stantly as he waited out the war at
Carolina.
If our young pseudo-editorialist
had even the most infinitesimal idea
of values and even the worst pos
sible observing eye, he would never
have remotely considered "iabg
such a fool of himself. Hi3 observ
ing eye can be classified as "blind
by his sterling remark that the
Pre-Flight cadets have spent "vaca
tions" at Carolina. Undoubtedly
Morty speaks from experience, hav
ing exerted himself so diligently in
the past, but many of us are inclined
to wonder how long Merry's "vaca
tion" would have lasted had he
tripped off to the "Pre-Flight coun
try club" to loaf. How long, Morty?
His sense of values corresponds
strikingly to that of the Indian who
sold Long Island for twenty-four
His sense of values corresponds
dollars. Could Morty have stopped
to consider what the Pre-Flight
School has done for Carolina? Does
he realize that our school might
have been forced to close its doors
during the war if it were not for
naval training programs? Does he
realize that much valuable equip
ment, such as the outdoor swim
ming pool and the hospital, has
been installed here by the Navy and
will be turned over to Carolina stu
dents for their use? For such
gracious appreciation from sup
posedly representative bps the
Navy might be complimented into
filling in the pool with concrete and
