Today we do what can easily be suicide, but neverthe less, we have decided to stick out our neck and make a few predictions in the world of sports, namely football. These predictions are merely our choice, decided upon after view ing past records and potential strength. We may be wrong in many instances, for we are by no means experts, but here goes. Carolina-Cherry Point: The Tar Heels turned the trick last season, winning in the last few seconds of play, and they should be on the win- mug siue again uua cu so than last. Carolina by two tondi- downs. Alabama-Tennessee: This is the big game of the Southeastern conference, bringing together two of the arch rivals in the SEC. Tennessee has a veteran team, but so has Alabama, dIus Harrv Gilmer. We'll take Ala- " bama. Georgia-L.S.U.: This game attracts special interest because of the recent return of Charley Trippi to the grid iron for the Georgians. Georgia has been winning right along, and with Trippi they should be even stronger. Make it Georgia to win. - Wake Forest-State: The Deacons have been up against the best all sea son, and this should give them a chance to come out on the winning end of the deal. We'll take Sacrinty and Wake Forest over State, maybe by three touchdowns. NavyGeorgia Tech: Tech hasn't looked too impressive at any time this year, and you know Navy. The Mid dies should win with little trouble, probably tromping the Engineers un mercifully. The following are some predictions, without comment, mostly on Big Ten battles. We are hardly capable o: picking winners in that category without seeing any of the teams in operation, but here's how we see it: Ohio State over Purdue: Indiana over Iowa; Illinois over Wisconsin Minnesota over Northwestern; Notre Dame over Pitt; Tulane over Auburn Maryland over V.P.I. ; Texas over Ar kansas; Tulsa over Nevada; Vander- bilt over Kentucky; and Mississippi State over Jackson AAB. First Week Of Cage Practice Finished The first week of early season has ketball practice is now history, and the squad of some 50 men that re ported last Monday has now been cut down to approximately 40. Another general call will be issued for new men shortly after the begin ning of the next term, and within two weeks, Coach Carnevale has stated that he expects to have his varsity and Jayvee teams chosen. At this time work will begin in earnest, with an early season opener in sight for the tough year ahead. Jim Jordan, star of the Southern conference championship club of last season, was hurt in wrestling: last week, suffering a shoulder injury, but the All-American eager is expected to be ready to go within a few weeks.

The . Ringers, who were tabbed as pre-tourney favorites, jumped into the finals by whipping a stuborn Phi Kappa Sigma team in the finals of the second half by an 8-4 verdict. Smith, a potent team composed of V-12er's, copped the first half honors last summer but were bumped out of the second half race in the semi-finals by the Ringers. A three run uprising in the initial inning by Smith proved the margin - rv mWc jQ,a V-12er's jumped on the Ringers ace twirler Pete Arnex for six safeties during the fracas. Five walks and nelder's choice brought three Smith tellies across the plate in the opening inning of the championship battle, The Ringers managed to push across a run in their half of the first stanza on a walk and a single by "Pete" Mul lis. Both teams scored in the third Smith added two markers in the fifth off successive hits by Curran, Fahey, and Rader, a walk and an error to strengthen their lead. The champs shoved two runners home in the first half of' the seventh as Fahey was safe on an error. Bob Paxton and Peterson followed with bingles scoring Fahey and Paxton scored on an error. The Ringers were gunning for a rally in the last frame and tallied twice on two free passes and an error before the fire was put out. . Fahey's toiling on the mound stood- out for Smith, while "Pete" Mullis with three for four paced the stick work for the Ringers. Thompson col lected the other hit off Fahey. Curran, Paxton, Bauman and Peterson sparked the winners attack. Smith gained revenge from the 15-1 whalloping the Ringers handed them in the semi-finals of the second half. In this contest Arnez, smooth Ringer twirler, gave up only four hits, while his teammates were raping Fahey for 20 safeties. George Thompson, Paty, Lepper, House, Hagy and Arnez were the big guns for the winners. In the latter half of the softball race the Ringers won out over the Phi Kaps, who were defending the championship they won last spring, by the count of 8-4. A five run ralley in the sixth inning after the; Phi Kaps were enjoying a 4- 3 lead proved the turning point of the contest. The Phi Kaps tallied twice in the opening inning as Lindenmuth singled and Martin was safe on an error. Lindemuth scored on an error and Anderson crossed the plate on a hit by Holton. Tony Jones held the Ringers in check until hell broke loose in the sixth stanza as Paty, Tabbot, Dorsett, Greich and Hagy lined hits in the five-run spree. The Phi Kaps reached the second half finals by blanking the Phi Gams 5- 0. Tony Jones, handcuffed the Phi Gams and allowed only one hit which M)(nW1) s -X r, (J i i li i IT i J Cross Country Runners Clash With Cherry Point Erath, Holden, Crain In Final Meet For Coach Hanson And Tar Heel Team With two of the top performers running for the last time, the fast-stepping Carolina cross country track team will meet the Cherry Point Marine runners this afternoon, the contest start ing at the end of the first quarter of the football game and end ing at half time.

The result of the contest was not avail able at press time. The "B" squad which has been working as a separate unit from the varsity team for the past three weeks, with "Peanut" Doak handling the coaching duties. Doak, a former N. C. State gridder and professional base ball player with Greensboro, has been busy whipping his Tar Babies into shape the past week and his squad has been scrimmaging with the var sity for the past few days. Slated to start yesterday after noon's game for the Jayvees included Jim Hay worth and Morrow, ends; Joe Cospito and Koontz, tackles; Goodwin and Chalmers, guards; Herb Young, center; Jerry Allen, wingback; Edger ton, blocking back; Ed McGee or Fer guson, fullback; and Harry Stowers; tailback. Friday's battle was a prelude con- est to the varsity scrap between Caro- ina and Cherry Point which comes off this afternoon.

Running for Carolina for the last time will be Doug Erath and Whitey Holden, who finished one and two in the meet with Tech last week. Also, Red Crain, a member of the B hill-and-dale club, will be making his last show ing as a runner under the Blue and White. Holden and Erath, who are scheduled to graduate with commissions in the Naval Reserve the last of next week, have been prominent figures in Caro t Una. trflpk rirr.lps for mrtRt. nf t.hp Htm a they have been here, both boys having been among the top two-milers on the indoor and outdoor track teams last season. Erath and Holden are expect ed to be right out front in the meet this afternoon, although Bob Dodson fast quarter and half-miler last spring. will be pushing the best of them. After Third Win Carolina will be after its third win this afternoon against Cherry Point's runners, and although virtually noth ing is known of the visiting team, the Tar Heels will probably be slightly favored by virture of their good re cord in the South so far in the season. A seven-man A and a like B team will be run in the meet. On the varsi ty A group are Whitey Holden, Doug Erath, Bob Dodson, Art Lamb, Oliver Allen, John Strait and Frank Hatch Running for the B team will be Jim Bolch, Bob Eagle, Red Cram, John Harding, Bob Harris, Jack Hester and Mack Hobkirk. The Tar Heels have meets next term with Duke, Georgia Tech," both at home, Virginia and maybe another with Cherry Point, and a lot of work is in store for the Ransonmen in view of their loss of the top two runners on the squad. But such men as Dot son, Allen, Lamb, Strait and Hatch, all of whom are improving steadily, will still make it hard for any oppo nent to get by the local cross country crew.

Kickoff is slated for 2 :30 o'clock. The UNC aggregation turned backf the Marines last season, 20-14, for its lone victory, scoring the winning touchdown in the last 39 seconds of play. And this year the game promises to be the same thriller that the tilt last season was, a game that is a bitter fight from beginning to end. It has been a brief series between Carolina and the Cherry Point crew, but a hot rival ry has developed in even the short time. Colfer, Twohey Leave For Tom Colfer and Ed Twohey, NROTC cadets, it will be their final game, as the reliable performers are slated to receive their commissions as ensigns something like a week after the game. "It is unfortunate that we have to lose them." Coach Snavely said yesterday, "for we will miss them badly. Twohey has been a standby from the beginning, and Colfer has de veloped brilliantly for a boy with no football background at all." Twohey is one of the six returning lettermen on the squad this year, hav ing played for Gene McEver last sea son on the first string. He has been one of the mainstays of the Tar Heel forward wall, and his hole in the line will not be easily filled. And Colfer, the wonder boy who showed his stuff in the Georgia Tech opener September 29 to gain widespread respect among football circles, will take with him one of the most dangerous cogs in the Carolina offensive machine. It is doubtful as to whether Twohey, former mayor of Boy's Town, Neb., will be able to go at all in the game today, as he has been on the injured list since the Penn scrap, but the hard- fighting little red-head has already made a name for himself on the grid for Carolina. Twohey will also be miss ed in boxing at Carolina, having been one of the strongest members of the Tar Heel boxing team last winter. Too, the Tar Heels will lose one of their managers, Kent 'Geech' Roberts, who was one of the main 'men behind he scene' for the Carolina footballers since things got underway back in April. All three of the NROTC men came into the unit here at the same ime, March of 1944. In place of Twohey at guard to start will be Sid Varney, tough little reserve, Bill Pritchard moves up to a starting berth at left end in place of injured Chuck Ellison, and Don Hartig or Bill Walker, also on the injured ist. All three of the injured men have A Complete Meal From 50c carte service steaks and sandwiches featured from 8:00 to 12:00 P. M.

Several veterans are due to play a good bit of ball in the tussle this after noon, Bob Warren, Tar Heel starter last season who scored the winning touchdown against Chery Point, Andy Karres, alternate guard in 1942, and Jim Camp, wingback on the 1944 squad. Also, Curtis Davidson, 220 pound tackle from Laurinburg is on hand and may prove a big asset. The Tar Heels have had a hard week of re-building and re-grooming, and Coach Snavelys charges are in as good shape possible for the encounter with the Marines, who lost to the Third Air Force, 20-0, last Saturday.
