Today is a big day in the Virginia-Carolina football series,
and for this the 50th anniversary of the first meeting of the Tar
Heels and Cavaliers the some 20,000 fans expected to be present
should see one of the best games of the season. The Virginia
eleven has been beaten only once this year, and the Tar Heels
have lost five, but the visitors' lighter schedule has had a lot to do
with it. And the Snavelymen, who have been on the upgrade all
year, will be hard to get by, agreed.
This is THE big day for the alum-
i ofmpmallv the older ones, for it
"j x - ,
hasn't been too many years since the
Carolina-Virginia scrap was. a Turkey
Day treat, the climax to the season.
However, in recent years, the tradi
tional Duke-Carolina battle has taken
the ginger out of the tilt with the Old
Dominion lads. The game today,
though, promises to be very well at
tended, and unless we miss our guess,
it will be as close as all the other
home games the Tar Heels have played
this year. . . . And as a matter of rec
ord, we would like to pick the Tar
TTaaIs to win bv one to two touch
downs.
It might bewell to note that this
afternoon will be another of those
battles between the model T foot
ball and the traditional single wing.
Carolina's gridders have tangled
with two of the best T's in the coun
try this season, Georgia Tech and
Penn, and the fact alone that the
T is being employed by Virginia I
should have little bearing on the
outcome.
The grid finale today, according to
the experts will find a fast, hard-driving
Virginia running attack, plus
some good passing by one Charlie
Ellis. That gives good possibilities of
today's skirmish turning into an aerial
battle, for Carolina's Tom Gorman
is expected to be used extensively in
his familiar passing role. x Gorman,
it may be remembered, engineered the
great drive for a score against Duke
last week, completing four for six
passes to carry the Tar Heels from
their own 33 over the goal. It was

four straight complete tosses that
turned the trick.
Next on the agenda comes a little
speculation on the national game
of games, that the annual Army
Navy tussle in Philadelphia's Muni
cipal stadium. Army is riding on
the brink of 17 victories in a row,
including one over the Middies last
year, and the men who are supposed
to be in the know are, picking the
Cadets to roll up quite a score.
Navy has great possibilities, but
the Midshipmen have been ragged
more than once this season, and we
feel, like most other observers, that
Army will have things its own way,
from the first play to the last.
Let's say Army by five to six touchdowns.
We are glad to see the Monogram
club moving into its new location in
what was formerly Navy hall. . The
Carolina lettermen are planning big
things, and they deserve the best.
Something like 1500 former Mono
gram clubbers received invitations for
the open house today. ... It is heard
from the grapevine that .Army's
(Used to was Carolina's) Doc Blanch-
ard went in and scored his final touch
down against Penn just because the
Quakers were so hard on the Tar
Heels earlier in the season.
Monogram Members
Holding Open
The Carolina Monogram club, which
has been gaining in importance dur
ing the last few months, will be hold
ing an open house all day today in
celebration of its moving into new
headquarters in what was formerly
Navy Hall.
Something like 1500 alumni mem
bers have been invited to be present
during the day, as well as many high
school boys.

Vliite Phantom Cagers Set To Tackle
Camp Lee in Opener Here Wednesday
Locals Topple
Bragg, 54-50
After edging out Ft. Bragg, 54-50,
in Woollen gym last Wednesday after
noon is a practice game, the Carolina
White Phantom basketball team is
fast putting the finishing touches on
pre-season drills, with the official open
er with Camp Lee scheduled to be
played here next Wednesday night at
8 o'clock.
This opening game with Camp Lee
promises to be one of the best of the
season at home, and the Virginia
soldiers sport about the fastest club
in the section. The Camp Lee team is
led by George Senesky, All-American
at St. Joseph, as well as several other
top-notch college stars. It promises to
be a big test for the Tar Heels, who
walked off with Southern Conference
honors last year.
In the game last Wednesday after
noon, a formal tilt although not official,
John Dillon, hook shot artist, was high
man for the Phantoms, dropping in a
total of 20 markers. He was followed
by AU-American Jim Jordan, who hit
the hoop for 13 points. Vinny Deloren
zo added eight more, and Bob Paxton
accounted for seven. Other than the
scoring of Dillon and Jordan, there
were no standout performances, the
game being primarily to iron out last
minute defects.
"We were playing a good team Wed
nesday," Coach Ben Carnevale opined
yesterday, "for they had some real
good ball players. They were all in
shape, and they knew what to do with
the ball," he continued.
Approximately 20 Wrestlers Are Working
Out Daily Under Direction Of Crawford
With approximately 20 men
working out daily, fall wrestling
practice is now well underway,
with former National collegiate
champ Al Crawford taking care of
coaching duties in the absence of
Head Coach Chuck Quinlan.
Crawford, who won the 175
pound National title three years in
a row while attending Appalachian
College and who took the Interna
tional crown one of those years in
Sweden, is sending the Tar Heel .
grappling prospects through early
conditioning and fundamental ses
sions, with emphasis being put on
defense.
The only letterman back on the
team is Art Bleuthenthal, who was
a member of the Southern confer
ence champion Carolina team in
1941. Bleuthenthal is just back
from the Army Air Forces, as is
Crawford, who flew for the ATC.
Crawford, who has been working
the men of the mats for something
like two weeks, stated that it was
hoped that more men would report
soon for wrestling, since all posi
tions were virtually open. Weight
groups include 121, 128, 136, 145,
155, 165, 175, and unlimited. Any
one interested on trying for the
squad is asked to get in touch with
either Crawford or Quinlan at
Woollen gym.

Leatherman Drills Boxers
In Daily Practice Sessions
Though without a coach at present
time the 1946 edition of the University
of North Carolina boxing team has
started work for the forthcoming sea
son with letterman Del Leatherman
serving as coach.
Regular coach Joe Murnick left last
season to join the Navy and the posi
tion of boxing coach has been vacant
since that time. No definite plans have
been made with regard to filling this
position, Leatherman will attempt to
get the boxing aspirants in shape with
daily drills set for 4:30 in the Woollen
Gym's boxing camp.
Two lettermen and 13 new men are
working out with Leatherman in daily
practice sessions. Jim Lodge, a Ma
rine, fighting in the 135 pound class
and Joe Mallard, ROTC, tossing the
leather last season in the 155 pound
class, are the holdovers from last sea
son's versatile pugilists.
Del Leatherman, ROTC, who has
taken over the duties of coach in order
to set the stage for the boxing season
came to Carolina with quite a boxing
record under his fighting robes. Figur
ing in last season's fights with the
GOOD LUCK TEAM!
Let's make this last game a victory.
and afterwards, a steam
ing" cup of Danziger's hot
chocolate with whipped
cream will take the chill
out of your bones.
Carolina boxers, a total of 132 fights,
Leatherman has only two defeats on
his record and out of this number of
fights Leatherman's record shows 57
knockouts. Most of his fighting has been
in the heavy weight division but he
boxed in the 175 pound class for Caro
lina. Acting coach Leatherman was book
ed as a potential strong point for the
Carolina boxing circuit in 1946, but an
injury sustained early this year in
football practice will keep him out of
the ring. Finding a man to replace
Leatherman, the strongest letterman
around which to build the squad, will
be difficult.
Dekes, Phi Gams
Advance To Finals
Delta Kappa Epsilon and Phi Gam
ma Delta will meet Tuesday afternoon!
at 4:15 to determine the winner in the
fraternity intramural football circuit.
Both squads boast unblemished rec
ords, having survived the season undefeated.
The Dekes defeated Kappa Alpha
Thursday afternoon, 6-0, to earn the
playoff rights. Phi Gam scored a vic
tory over ATO, 28-0, in their second
meeting of the season. The first con
test, won by the Phi Gams, had been
disputed.
The Phi Gam record includes vic
tories over Beta Theta Pi, ATO, Sigma
Nu, PiKA, and Phi Delta Theta.
The Dekes have defeated SAE, Chi
Psi, Kappa Alpha, TEP, and Pi Lam
ba Phi.
Cross Country
Squad To Meet
Virginia Today
Coach Dale Hanson's once-beaten
Tar Heel cross country track, team will
officially bring its season to a close
here this afternoon, meeting the Uni
versity of Virginia runners in con
junction with the football game slated
between UNC and the Cavaliers.
The dual meet, Carolina's eighth
this season, will get undez-vay during
the first quarter of the football game
and end during the second quarter.
It will cover the three and five eights
mile course through the country
around the stadium.
For Carolina, the Southern con
ference has already been won, but
this meet today offers the only re
maining obstacle before the local run
ners in their try for all southern cross
country honors. Coach Ranson's crew
has turned back Georgia Tech twice,
Duke twice, State once and Cherry
Point, while losing a lone meet to
Navy's championship team.
Leading the field for Carolina will
be Bob Dodson, lanky half-miler of
the spring track team last year, who
turned in one of the best times of re
cent years in beating State college two
weeks ago. Too, running for the Tar
Heels will be Oliver Allen, Jim Bolch,
W. T. Chafin, Bob Eagle, G. P. Harris,
Frank Hatch, Jack Hester, Mack Hob-
kirk, John Strait and Art Lamb. Only
seven of these men will run officially.
