Tar Heels Drop Hard Fought Contest To' Tennessee ' Vols In Fourth Period 20-6 with Sports SPOHf Irwin Smallwood TENESSEEING: For the second time this season, a North Carolina football team outplayed Tennessee and lost. This time it was the Tar Heels, Saturday to be exact, last time Wake Forest. It was just the never-say-die and tough fighting spirit of the Vols that paid off, as well as the heads up strategy of the experienced Rose Bowl grid warriors. TTvvm ha Viponrmin cr o1tyic n, Vo end, the Vols were held at bay by the hard charging Carolina line, which was the outstanding factor all day for the locals. The Vols were never able to get closer than the 20-yard line till that fatal kickoff return five minutes into the fourth period. Once, shortly before the half, Tennessee got the ball on the Carolina 22 as Don Hartig was tackled while in deep punt formation, but the stubborn Tar Heels held fast, and two line plays and two pass attempts failed for the Vols. This is just one example of the fine .work that the line did. Leading the line in its rough day was little Sid Varney, who was start ing his first game, in place of gradu ated Ed Twohey. Varney was good throughout, and the rugged guard proved to Coach Snavely and fans alike that he coud hod down a first string berth. Also, there was Ted Hazelwood, Frank Curran, Ed Gold ing, Leon Szafaryn, Bill Wardle, Al Bernot in on the list for commenda tion. The ends come in for praise all by themselves, with lanky Bill Pritchard, of Chapel Hill and son of Grady Prit chard, former Tar Heel mentor him self, at the top. Pritchard f caught the 24-yard touchdown pass as well as several others during the afternoon. Mike Rubish, Bob Cox and Meade were also on the receiving ends of pass es during the tussle, and they all played well defensively. (Passes ac counted for 184 yards in the game.) . The offense, athough not too effi cient in the first half, got rolling in good order in the third period, with big Tom Gorman and Don Clayton leading the way, mostly through the air. Bill Voris, work-horse of the backfield, played almost 60 minutes and turned in a good performance Gorman an4 Clayton hit the mark for some 184 yards passing, Gorman flinging a 24-yard aerial for the lone U A 1 3 yi varoima loucnaown. uiayton ran beautifully for 20 yards and a touch down about three minutes after the game had begun, but it was called back for holding. It was a long pass from Gorman to Bill Flamish just as the half ended that was Carolina's first threat . s Discussing the line was Bob Wilson of the Knoxville News-Sentinel, who said "The Carolina line looked better to me today than the Alabama line did two weeks ago." . . . Said Coach Snavely after the game: "We are never satisfied to lose, but I am cer tainly pleased with the way the boys played football. They made mistakes, very costly ones, but it was just a lack of experience against a good team, a Rob Bowl team." Jayvees Swamp South Carolina's Bantoms 32-7 Lineweaver Scores Twice In Wild Game Tar Babies Show Powerful Attack MONOGRAM CLUB MEETS There will be an important meet ing of the Monogram Club in Ger rard Hall on Tuesday night at 7:30. Some important matters will be taken up, club president Jack Davies asserted and urged all members to attend the meeting. y jjj fjj mm I ik j TOGETHER - RESULT: MORE TRANSCONTINENTAL . TELEPHONE CIRCUITS With wire scarce and wartime calls increasing, telephone engineers rnade existing pairs of long distance wires carry nearly four times as many calls as before. This was done through installa tion of additional carrier equipment, requiring closer spacing of the wires on the line and trans positions at shorter intervals. Three pairs on the Southern Transcontinental Route were rearranged, and in a 430-mile section this had to he done while keeping the urgently needed wires in service all the time. To do this, new tools and new methods had to he devised in the laboratories and on the job. - This is another among many examples of how Bell System teamwork and engineering skills maintained telephone service under wartime conditions. Carolina s unbeaten Jayvee team offered such a powerful attack in Columbia last week that the Univer sity of South Carolina's junior team thought they were playing the var sity as the Blue and White "B" eleven stomped the Bantams to a 32-7 de feat. John Lineweaver, slender track star, led the Tar Babies' touchdown parade by scoring twice. Three Caro lina touchdowns were called back on offside penalties. The Jayvees tallied in early part of the first quarter when Lineweaver trucked 28 yards on a reverse from Ed McGee. The Gamecock juniors scored' their lone touchdown in the second period as Proveaux snagged a pass from Lyles and went 20 yards for the marker. Don Ferguson, of Siler City, put the Tar Heel junior team back into the lead by crossing the goal line just before the half ended. In the third stanza John Colones rifled a pass to Lineweaver who went 10 yards to score. The Tar Babies pushed across two touchdowns in the closing quarter when Jerry Allen of Shelby broke loose on an end-around and dashed 30 yards to pay dirt. Ed McGee added the extra point by bucking center. Bill Crutchfield ac counted for the last Carolina marker in the closing minutes of the game by ripping off 10 yards on a center plunge. Ben Haines scored the extra point on a line smash. Some nice blocking . and stubborn line play by Kerns, Cospito, Young, Mclntire and Widell, was outstand ing. In the backfield Lineweaver, Rey nolds, McGee, Colones, Crutchfield and Allen were the sparkplugs. The Jayvees are idle this week, but journey to Kinston Marine Air Base next Friday to tackle a rugged Leatherneck crew. The Junior varsity beat the Marines, 9-6, in their pre vious contest. r 1 1 " 1 r it - i Bill Pritchard, left, and Sid Varney, right, sparked Carolina's stub born performance against Tennessee.

By Hardinge Menzies Carolina welcomes back this semes ter an old friend and an old instruc tor. Marvin Allen, the intramural sports director here in 1941, returns once more to the tedious job of head ing this phase of the physical educa tion department after four years of service in the Navy. Allen, who is just moving into his old office down in Woollen, is taking over where he left off in the years before the war. Walt James has served as temporary head. of the in tramural department during the past few years. Obviously in a state of transition between military and civil ian life, Allen was busily straighten ing up his old home in "civie grey" pants and regulation Navy shirt. A new fluorescent lamp, gave his office a business-like air and the bare bul letin boards reminded one of the grea new future which lies open to UNC athletic department. Having left the Navy as a lieuten ant, Allen served forty-two months sea duty on a mine-sweeper in the Bering Sea and also on submarine pa trol duty on the east coast at the first of the war. He graduated here in '38 and while getting his Masters he worked with the intramural ac tivities and with the required phys ical education program. He is mar ried and now makes his home here in Chapel Hill at 308 Cameron as a boarder of Mrs. Wootten. Of course he loves this place and he says it feels "very good and quite a relief For Friendly, Prompt Barbering Service, Visit the GRAHAM MEMORIAL BARBER SHOP Conveniently Located No Waiting NOW PLAYING " 1 " 1 . ... i to get back in Chapel Hill in this type of work." As to any definite plan in the intra mural department, he can't say as yet; but he comments that there is no school in the country which is quite so well fitted for intramurals as Caro Una is. Our returned friend doesn't seem to ever have much free time away from his daily work Taut he says that if he ever does have any extra minutes to spare that he usually spends them playing some kind of a sport. The nearest thing to a hobby which, he has seems to be reading books, although not too much time is spent m tnis ranaritv either.

Bill Pritchard Catches Pass For Marker Varney, Bernot, Spark Line Play By Irwin Smallwood Knoxville, Term. Coach Carl Snavely's .Carolina Tar Heels of the gridiron turned in their best performance of the year for three periods here Saturday. but the tough Tennessee Volun teers scored three quick touch downs in the last quarter to beat the Carolinians, 20-6, before a crowd of about 15,000 cold spectators. With the Tennessee skirmish now history, the Tar Heels are hard on the trail of getting ready for William and Mary, to be played in Norfolk next weekend. Ed Golding, first string guard, and Paul Rizzo, one of the top blocking backs, are both suf fering from sprained ankles, but it is hoped that they will be able to go Saturday in Norfolk. Outstanding for Carolina in the rough encounter more than anyone else was simply the entire line. It was the forward wall that threw the Vols back on their heels time and again throughout the first three pe riods. Sid Varney, playing in place of graduated Ed Twohey, was way above expectations, and the rugged little guard spent much of his time in the Tennessee backfield before the day was over. Too, Al Bernot, at cen ter, Ted Hazelwood at tackle with Frank Curran, and virtually the whole lot played a good game. In the backfield, it was Tom Gor man, the passing kid, Don Clayton and Bill Voris that carried the brunt of the work, and this trio shares the honors in that field. Gorman threw the touchdown pass to Bill Pritchard, lanky up and coming Chapel Hill end who stood out all day at his left flank position. Too, Mike Rubish, right end, turned in a good performance, catch ing two passes in crucial moments. For three periods the Vols and the Tar Heels battled on almost even terms, although Carolina had a score called back some three minutes after the second half had begun. In that early drive after half-time, Carolina got the ball on the Tennessee 20 as the Vols were penalized for roughing the ball carrier. Behind' beautiful blocking, Don Clayton went over to score, only to have it nullified by a holding penalty. Just before the end of the third quarter, Carolina again got deep in Vol territory on a penalty, gaining possession of the ball on the 18 when the big orange jerseys were docked for illegal use of the elbows. Clayton passed to Mike Rubish for a first down on the four, but the Tennessee line held fast and took over on their own one yard stripe. Casey Stephen'son punted out of bounds on the Vol 26 on the first play following, and the Tar Heels started there what was to be their only touch down drive. Big Tom Gorman threw to Rubish for 11 yards and a first down on the Tennessee 15. The Tar Heels were pushed back to the 24 in two plays, but on the third down Gor man dropped back and passed to Bill Pritchard who was all alone right over the goal line. Cox attempted to con vert, but it was no good. Score 6-0, Tar Heels. Carolina kicked off to the Volun teers.
