1 Ransonmen Battle State Crew Today Workers Needed For Deac Game sir B(B TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1945 PAGE THREE Snaveiymen, Scalp Indians By 6 To 0; UNC Trips Tech, Face Duke Tomorrow CAROLINA CHATTER Sports By CARROLL POPLIN ' The name of Merl Norcross was on the lips of every fan and newspaper man that attended the Carolina-William and Mary encounter last Saturday and the youngster who has seen only limited varsity duty at the tailback post, came through m grand style to lead the Tar Heels to their fourth win of the season. s on his jersey provided the needed punch for the Tar Heels, when it seemed that the game would un doubtedly be a duplicate of last year's scoreless tie. It was Norcross who steered and made tne winning touchdown as he controlled the pig skin for eight straight plays in the fourth period. For the second successive week Harry "Sid" Varney has sparked the Tar Heel forward wall, along with the stalwart defensive performance of Bill Pritchard. These two gridders, a guard and an end respectively kept the Indian backs puzzled all after noon. Mike Rubish also played a bang-up game defensively and was on the receiving end of several passes. Ted Hazlewood and Ed Golding looked good up front. Tom Gorman got off one beautiful punt in the initial quar ter when his boot rolled dead on Wil liam and Mary's one-yard line. Concerning the impressive defen sive game that Pritchard played, Bill Cox, sports editor of the Virginian Pilot, said, "I believe " that young Bill Pritchard, the 17-year-old Caro lina end, No. 43, played the best foot ball of the day for both teams ... I liked Bob Piefki and Knox Ramsey of the Indians and Sid Varney, a Tar Heel guard." The presence of the cheerleaders at the game Saturday certainly added spirit to the Carolina cause. The cheerleaders as you know are Jack Kirkland, head, Barbara Boyd, June Feely, Mary Pierce Johnson, Jane Isenhour, Marguerite Murray, Char he Blackburn, Orren Hyman, Bill Bencini and Mickey Faulkner. Dale Evans, the other male yeller, left school at the end of the last term. Incidentally this was the first trip that the cheerleaders have been on this year and the results was a vie tory. They'll never forget that trip, I assure you. Hats off to Coach Bob Fetzer who made the trip possible. They enjoyed it. , Among the Tar Heel rooters at the Norfolk game were Ed Twohey, who is stationed there. Twohey was a star guard on the Tar Heel eleven before he received commission last month. . . Joe Murnick, the former boxing coach at Carolina is still at Bainbridge and might be in line for a discharge soon ... Also Ken Black, one-time star left fielder for the baseball team is stationed in Norfolk . . . Frederick Cockran, end on Carolina's grid team back in 1922 when Grady Pritchard was captain, saw the game from the stands ... Bolo Pardue, Duke's great end who was responsible for the Blue Devils going to the Rose Bowl back in 1938 when he blocked a Pittsburgh kick for a touchdown, was on the sidelines last Saturday. Dodson Leads Cross Country Squad In Win Tar Hpels Capture First Four Places , By Bob Friedlander Coach Dale Ranson's hill and dalers again demonstrated their superiority over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jack ets Saturday, swamping them by a 16-46 count in a dual cross-country meet at Fetzer Field. Running for the first time without the services of Doug Erath and Whitey Holden, who both graduated last semester, the team nonetheless managed to place the five required Tar Heels among the first six finish ers. "Wild Bill" Walker, captain of the Engineers, finishing in fifth place, was the leading performer for his school. The runners will meet Duke's Blue Devils tomorrow afternoon in a home meet starting and finishing at Fetzer Field at 4 p. m. The Duke men will be out for revenge after their defeat ast term and a close finish isantici pated. Dodson In First Bob Dodson was the individual win ner, crossing the tape ten yards ahead of Jack b trait. Hip winning ime of 20:13 was good for the three and five-eighths mile course. George Harris, only freshman on the squad, placed third, a step ahead of Frank latch. Other Tar Heels finishing were Bill Chafin, Art Lamb, and Oliver Allen.

' item t mm tomcco ca With the season opener barely three weeks from tomorrow night, Coaches Ben Carnevale and Pete Mullis are fast whipping the 1945-46 Tar Heel bas ketball team in shape, practices being held daily from 4:30 till 6 o'clock. A 28-game slate was announced last week, with Camp Lee the first oppon ent here in Woollen gym December 5, and it is anticipated that even more games may be added before things get underway. Included on the schedule are such foes as New York University, St. Joseph, of Philadelphia and the Naval academy, as well as the usual South ern conference teams. NYU and St. Joseph are two of the habitually stronger teams in the east, and Navy is expected to have one of the best quints in the nation, having added sev eral All-American ball players since last year. Carolina will be the defending champions in the Southern conference, with South Carolina and Duke com ing up high in the line of challengers this season. Too, nearly all the squads in the SC should be a lot stronger than last year, with all the returning GFs swelling the rosters. The Tar Heels defeated Duke in the finals of the loop tourney last year, and pushed aside South Caro lina in the semi-finals. Both these teams should have a lot of last year's men back, and both quintets will be fighting hard to dethrone the Carne-valemen. Back from last season's ninth rank ing college five in the nation, the lo cal Tar Heels, are Jim Jordan, second high scorer in the conference, Johnny Dillon, Bob Paxton, Don Anderson, Ira Norfolk, and several reserves and returning Carolina men. Some 20 boys are still vieing for positions on the varsity squad, which, according to Coach Carnevale, will be made up of approximately 12-15 play ers. The Jayvee crew is also work ing out daily, and the men who do not make the varsity will automati cally be dropped to the 'B' team. Coach Doc Siewert's "B" quint will have several games on a schedule of its own, but as yet no definite tilts have been negotiated. H , .nr.

Norcross Nets Winning Score For Tar Heels Carolina Is Host To Deacs Saturday By Carroll Poplin NORFOLK, VA. A 46-yard touchdown drive in the fading minutes of the final quarter, spearheaded by speedy and wiry Merl Norcross, 17-year-old fresh man from Kingston, Pa., who recently moved up from the Jay vee squad, gave Carolina a 6-0 victory over a rugged pow-wow of Indians from William and Mary last Saturday at Norfolk before 10,000 spectators. The Tar Heels will play host to their arch rivals from Wake Forest Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Deacons tripped Carolina in the sea son's opener by the score of 7-0 last year and the contest this week-end is expected to be another thriller. One of the largest crowds of the season will witness the battle and tickets are going fast. The pay-off six pointer came with a minute and a half remaining in the contest that seemed to finish in a deadlock, until the Tar neels let loose their guns after taking over on William and Mary's 46-yard stripe. Norcross Stars Norcross, ho subbed for Tom Gor man, flipped a screen pass intended for Mike Rubish that went incom plete. But on the next play the 151- pound tailback tore around left end and behind some good blocking by Chuck Ellison, the Pennsylvania lad raced to the Indians' 22-yard line for a Z4-yard gallop. From here Norcross carried the pigskin off tackle to the 17. A pass from Norcross to Oliphant failed to gain. .Norcross leaped nigh into tne air and rifled a short pass to Rubish for a first down on the Indians' nine. Norcross picked up two yards on an end around. A pass to Rubish by Nor- an . cross was knocked down, men tne former Jayvee tailback who had en gineered the goalward march skirted seven yards off right tackle to score standing up. Bob Cox's conversion went wide.
