Add the failure of the Tar Heel offense to get going and you have the whole story. The Quakers sport a strong eleven, and to put it in the words of Coach Carl Snavely, "Pennsylvania has the best college team that I have seen during the period of wartime football, that is not counting Army and Navy." The Penn aggregation could run, pass, kick and the blocking on offense and defense was nothing short of ter rific." It was the worst defeat Carolina has suffered in 'more than a decade, but what happened in the first quar ter had a lot to do with the showing the Tar Heels made. That third play from scrimmage when Bobby Deuber raced 60 yards to the Carolina six was a big enough' blow,, when when the UNC forward wall had pushed the big Penns back seven yards in three 1 plays only to have them pass com plete in the end zone on the fourth down, it was a killing blow. Ed Golding, Carolina guard, recov ered a Penn fumble on the Carolina 39 still in the first period. A com bination pass and run on the part of Tom Colfer and Bill Voris gave one first down, and an end run by Colfer gave another on the Penn 29. But on the fourth down and only one yard shy of another first down, Colfer's pass was intercepted and run back to the 23. From there the Penn crew began to move again, but Bill Walker snagged a Penn pass on his own 48 and ran it back 20 yards on two plunges, Colfer got one on an end sweep, and Colfer's pass was no good on the fourth down, Carolina . losing possession of the ball within Penn's 25-yard line for the second time in a space of minutes. After these bids for a tally, the Tal Heels never mustered enough driving power to give the Quakers a scare again. It was from there that the Pennsylvania boys went to town, scoring twice in each of the remain ing periods in the game that saw them score almost effortless. It was after this first quarter stand of the Tar Heels that the fumbles and lack of pass defense got the best of tnem. On four occasions the Carolina eleven had fumbles recovered and a drivfc started from that point for a touchdown. Once it was an inter cepted pass. Three times a pass net ted a Penn touchdown, and one other time it was a pass to a man on the five and a short run the rest of the way that gave up a TD. But the good running of the Penn backs and the hard charging of the line cannot be left out of this panorama of defeat. The Quacker backs piled up 273 yards rushing. - "We were just off in everything we I tried to do," Coach Snavely conclud ed. "Penn just moved so fact and so quick we were never in the game with them." . " Jifc IN THE STANDS: A goodly num ber of Tar Heel rooters were present at the skirmish in the Friendly City. It's a shame we didn't have some cheerleaders there to help out. We ran into Joe Murnick, boxing mentor at Carolina last year who is now an athletic specialist at the Norfolk Air Station . . . Captain E. E. Hazlett, local Navy commandant, Lt. Ben Car nevale, basketball coach, Dr. Crom well and Grady Pritchard, all ardent Carolina followers, w ere also pres ent . . . Too, Stuart Mclver, Carolina alumnus and a writer for a Baltimore paper was on hand, as were countless other alumni of the Tar Heel university. It was a good sunny brisk after-'. noon for football, but it just wasn't Carolina's day. The record to date, Penn four games, Carolina two.

The Tar Heels have previously beaten Duke and lost to the Naval Academy. Doug Erath and Whitey Holden, two NROTC cadets who were running next to the last meet for Coach Dale Ranson, finished one and two in the contest, with Bobby Dodson and Frank Hatch coming through in the third and fourth spots. Erath, in winning his first meet for Carolina, covered the two and eight tenths miles distance in 14:34, and Holden came in just seven seconds back. Dodson ran the course in 14:50 and Hatch recorded a time of 14:52. Tech had three men in following the first four Carolina runners, Walker, Bailey and Uptugrove. Art Lamb, Oliver Lamb and John Strait finished in the eight, nine and 10 po sitions, Lamb and Allen finishing in a dead heat at 15:21 and Strait run ning 15:35. During the early part of the race, Carolina had all seven of its men in the lead, but toward the last Tech put on a rally and got three of its men in ahead of three Tar Heels. Carolina's hill-and-dale runners will have a complete week of rest before meeting the Cherry Point Marines here in Chapel Hill next week-end. The meet may be run between the half of the UNC-Cherry Point foot ball game, but plans are not settled yet. Tech is slated to come to Chapel Hill for a return meet next term, as will Duke. "Erath and Holden looked strong throughout," Coach Ranson said yes terday, "and all the boys did a very good job." Both Erath and Holden, who have been active in Carolina track for over a year, will be missing when the Tar Heels clash with Tech and Duke next time. The meet with Cherry Point will probably be the last for these lads. This triumph gives Carolina a record of two wins as against the lone defeat, and the team is showing improvement with each running. Nearly all of the boys turned in their best performances, Hatch finishing well up front in about his best job of the season. Dodson, always a strong runner and one who finishes up front consistently, came in third, just ahead of Hatch. The summary: Erath (C), 14:34; Holden (C), 14:41; Dodson (C), 14:50; Hatch (C) 14:52; Walker (T), 15:05; Bailey (T), 15:07; Uptugrove (T), 15:09; Lamb (C) and Allen (C), 15:21; Strait (C), 15:35; Davis (T), 15:40; Cussack (T), 15:50; McPherson (T), 16:57; Gross (T); 17:03.

A powerful University of Pennsylvania grid machine passed and ran to seven touchdowns here Saturday af ternoon to hand Carolina's Tar Heels their worst licking in over a decade. 49-0, before a cheering crowd of some 55,000 fans. The Tar Heels face Cherry Point's Marine, eleven here in Kenan stadium Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock Carolina beat Cherry Point last sea son for its only triumph, but this year Cherry Point is reported to have an improved squad and one capable of staying with the be st of them. It took Coach George Munger's Penn aggregation only seven plays to cross into the Carolina end zone. On the first run from scrimmage, the Quakers racked up a first down, and on the third little Bobby Deuber scampered for 60 yards to the Caro lina six yard line. The Tar Heel for ward wall held there for three plays, but on the fourth down, Captain Car men Falcone dropped back and fired an aerial to Jenkins in the end zone for the score. Threaten Carolina came back after that first score, driving to the Penn 20 only to have a pass intercepted on the nine tc end the threat. A few plays later, Co-Captain Bill Walker caught a Penn pass on the 48 and ran it back 20 yards. Three line plays netted six yards, but on the last down Tom Col fer's pass was incomplete, thus end ing another Tar Heel bid for a score, their last serious one. Leading men in the Carolina try for a tally early there in the first quarter were Tom Colfer, co-captain Bill Voris and Wal ker. The first Penn score came after only three minutes and 25 seconds of the first period, and although the Quak ers were held intact the rest of the way through that quarter, it took only little more than three minues of the second period to score again. From there on out it was all Penn, offensive ly and defensively. During the one-sided encounter, Carolina fumbled a total of SPVPTl times, and five of these times Penn re covered. On four occasions, the fumbles were the start of a touchdown drive. Colfer was the leading ground gain er for the Tar Heels, although Don Clayton did a lot of ball carrying. Bob Kennedy, third string back, broke loose for a 20-yard run at one time, but it went for naught as the Tar Heels had to punt. For Penn it was Bob Evans, Cap tain Falcone, a frosh, and Schneider who led the way. Evans passed for three touchdowns, Falcone threw for one and ran another, and Schneider ran around end for one. Schneider was the leading Penn ground gainer, getting 81 yards in eight tries. The blocking of the Penn line was terrific and the stalwart forward wall cleared the way time and again for the fleet Quaker backs. Bob Deuber, freshman star, got off to a beautiful 60-yard run in the first period, but broke his nose on the play and was re moved. The game was Penn's from the bo ginning, when on the third play from scrimmage, little Bob Deuber took the ball from Carmen Falcone on a lat eral, and scrambled through most of the Tar Heel team only to be brought down on the Carolina six by Bill Voris. In three plays Penn had been driven back to the Tar Heel 13, but on the fourth down, Falcone dropped back and rifled a pass to Frank Jenkins, who caught the ball just one step in the end zone for the first tally. Bob Evans converted from placement with only three minutes and 25 seconds gone in the ball game. Joe Dickson recovered Bill Walker's fumble on the Carolina 32 shortly af ter the second period got under way, and on the first play Evans shot a pass down the center to Bob Sponaugle, who caught it on the five and ran over un molested. Evans try for point was good and it was 14-0 Penn. Penn got another Carolina fumble j on the Tar Heel 41 about midway in the second quarter. Evans passed to Martin incomplete on the Carolina 20. but interference was called against Bob Oliphant and that gave Penn a first down there. Evans drove his way to the five, and Falcone went over on a quarterback sneak for the score. Evans kicked good, making it 21-0. The UNC eleven kept the ball till half time but the Carolina attack wouldn't click. Big George Savitsky threw Tom Colfer for a loss on the first play of the second half and recovered as the Tar Heel fumbled, giving Penn the ball on Carolina's 25. Two plays later Evans threw to John Martin in the end zone to make it 27-0. Evans booted perfect, 28-0, one minute and 41 seconds in the second half. An interecepted pass gave the Quak ers the ball on the UNC 41 late in the same period, and after a first down in the air and on the ground, Evans passed three yards to Sponaugle good for a tally.
