Sport Sidelines
By Bill Woestendiek
Ever since the present football cam
paign got under way, we have been in
clined to think that Carolina's amaz
ing grid team would run aground
against Tulane's powerful eleven. Of
late, however, we have changed our
opinion.
Main factor responsible for the
above decision has been the magni
ficent spirit and determination
shown by the Tar Heels in their
workouts here prior to leaving for
New Orleans. All of the men have
displayed a tremendous amount of
punch and" power in scrimmages
against Coach Bill Lange's excellent
freshman aggregation.
Tulane gave the Tar Heels an aw
ful lacing last fall and Coach Jim Ta
tum's present edition of Carolina foot
ball talent is determined to pay the
Green Wave with interest.
Tulane resembled anything but a
tidal wave last Saturday in bowing
to Georgia, 40-0. Many people take
this as a bad omen, for the Greenies
always look weak on alternate Sat
urdays. Today, according to sche
dule, Tulane should be a great team
again and despite the fact that
Carolina is generally favored for
the first time this year, a lot of fans
have their fingers crossed.
All of these factors add up to an
ominous storm warning for Carolina,
but the Greenies are said to have tak
en an awful physical beating from
Sinkwich, Inc., and may not be in top
shape this afternoon. We'll pit the
Tar Heel spirit and will-to-win against
Tulane's single-wing T formation ir-
regardless. The Tar Heels can play
football they've proved that in four
big games.
O
Statistics released Thursday by
the Associated Press reveal that
Carolina ranks third in the nation
in the matter of punting. The Tar
Heel kickers have an average of
40.81 yards and are right behind
Tulsa and Tennessee in the boot
ing aspect of the game.
These figures belie those numerous
experts who had been moaning the
blues over the loss of Harry Dunkle,
Dunkle was a great-kicker make no
mistake about that, but Mike Cooke
and Bill Sigler have been doing a Her
culean job of filling the long-range
kicking shoes of last year's co-captain.
Sigler's tremendous 76-yard
boot against Duquesne the longest
these eyes have ever seen in the short
time they've been watching football
games is responsible in no small part
for the high Carolina punting average.
Sport Shorts Dave Barksdale, cap
tain elect of this year's Carolina elev
en prior to his entrance into Annapo
lis, has taken over the first string
blocking-back spot on the Navy eleven
and is playing great football . . . Big
Five teams really hit the road this
week-end, what with Carolina trav
eling to New Orleans, Duke heading
for Pittsburg, State going up to
Massachusetts to play Holy Cross, and
Wake Forest running up against Bos
ton f!ollef?e in Boston . . . The sur
prising Tulsa team not only leads the
nation's colleges in punting, but is also
on top in total defense, second in pass
ing and third in total offense.
O
The Yogi is still beaming this week.
He's riding high thus far, but he's
riding for a fall. He pulled one out
of the well-known hat last week by
picking Notre Dame to upset the Iowa
Navy eleven. All in all, he named
nine winners and had three losers out
of the fifteen games selected. For
getting the ties for the moment, his
season's record is now 37 right and
14 wrong for a percentage of .725. His
masterminding for today follows:
CAROLINA over Tulane this is
the Tar Heels' big obstacle.
STATE over Holy Cross the Wolf
Dack gets a chance to howl. .
DUKE over Pittsburg the Devils
are hitting their stride again.
WILLIAM & MARY over George
Washington the Indians stay unde
feated. BOSTON COLLEGE over Wake
Forests the Eagles are the pride of
the East, but it won't be any pushover.
ARMY over Harvard the West

Duke, State
Favors Tar Heels
To Topple Tulane
By Bob Druitt
Last week 95 of our selections came
through to win as against 17 errors
and 10 ties to give us our best per
centage so far this season. When all of
the scores had come in they balanced
up to give us an 84.8 average. Our
upset picks of California over UCLA,
Great Lakes over Wisconsin, and Holy
Cross over Syracuse failed to material
ize, but they were compensated for
when Duke, Mississippi, State, Caro
lina, Dartmouth, Detroit, Indiana, Illi
nois, VMI, Arizona, and St. Mary's
turned m victories, in the minor
leagues we came out good with Ohio
Wesleyan over Akron, Milligan over
Centre, Colorado Mines over Greeley,
Western Michigan over Iowa State
leacners, and North Dakota over
South Dakoto State.
Hard games to call this week are:
Princeton - Brown, Cornell - Syracuse,
Georgetown-Detroit, Duke-Pitt, Auburn-Villanova,
Notre Dame-Illinois,
Indiana - Iowa,, Michigan - Minnesota,
Georgia Navy-LSU, North Carolina
Tulane, Oregon State-Washington
State, and Santa Clara-UCLA. Al
though Cornell has been our Nemesis
all season, we will take them to upset
Syracuse. In addition, we will choose
Detroit to knock Georgetown from the
undeef ated ranks, Duke to edge out
Pitt in one of the best games of the
day, and Carolina to avenge last sea
son's drubbing at the hands of Tulane.
It has been many years since mighty
Minnesota has lost three games in one
season, but look for Michigan to show
the Gophers the way to go home.

ANNAPOLIS, October 23. Coach
Dale Hanson's latest Carolina cross
country team will be officially unveiled
here tomorrow afternoon when his Tar
Heel harriers swing into action against
Navy.
Leading the Blue and White runners
into their initial test will be Captain
Rich Van Wagoner, the flying Dutch
man who broke the tape against the
Middies a year ago. Frank Hardy and
Tom Jewett, both of whom played a
role in last year's 23-32 triumph, are
also ready to go and should earn valua
ble places. .
This triorwill be aided by a quintet
of top-notch hill-and-dalers George
Lewis, Hall Partrick, Howard Ennis,
Sim Nathan and Dick Hollander.
Lewis, a sophomore, has been leading
the varsity home intrials all fall, and
Tar Heel hopes rest heavily on his
ability to come through tomorrow. Par
trick, a junior who starred as a fresh
man but who was out all last year with
injuries, appears in the best shape of
his career. Ennis, intramural find
who has been showing up extremely
well in practice, will get his baptism of
fire tomorrow, while Nathan and Hoi
lander are both veteran letterman with
considerable experience.
Four-mile Course
The meet will be run over a four
mile course, which although not as
hilly as the local route, is, nevertheless,
more difficult, because of the unusual
footing. The Ransonites may encoun
ter trouble running on the grass and
oyster -shell road of the Annapolis
course after working out all fall on
firm clay.
Coach Ranson refused to commit
himself by venturing a prediction on
the outcome of today's encounter. The
strength of the Navy team is compara
tively unknown, while the Tar Heels
themselves have turned in no perform
ances tlis fall which accurately mea
ure their ability.
Will Struggle
On Kenan Field
A hefty Army football squad from
the anti-aircraft school at Camp Da
vis, N. C, tackles the Navy's "B" team
I here today in North Carolina's major
gridiron engagement of the weekend.
Aerial Game
What the visitors have learned in
repelling aerial bombardments may
come in handy because Lieut (jg) Nat
Pierce, the Navy mentor, has indicat
ed his Cloudbusters may take to the
air for the majority of their ground
gaining. The Army line, averaging
190 pounds, may be too strong for the
light Navy backs but the secondary
may be too slow in slapping down
Cloudbuster flips.
The Navy band and the 1,500 cadets
will march before the game and a col
legiate atmosphere will be supplied by
the University students. The game
will start at 2:30 o'clock.
Speedy Quartet
Behind his heavy line, Capt H. A.
Johnson, the Army coach, has a
speedy, hard running quartet of for
mer college stars Ed Holloway of
Temple, Al Schneider of Miami, Lem
Fitzgerald of Richmond and Jerry
Bisceglia of Georgetown, the fullback
who tips 210 pounds.. This backfield
averages 178 pounds, three pounds per
man more than Lieut. Pierce's start
ing corps of Santin, Emerson, Franks
and Keuffel.

Whitehead 6 NROTC "A"
(Whitehead winner in overtime).

racks 7.
NROTC "B" 27 Delta Sig. Pi 0.
In one of the longest and most ex
citing games of the year, St. Anthony
dropped a close decision to Phi Gam
ma Delta in an overtime thriller. The
game was very closely contested
throughout and the issue was always
in doubt. The two teams were still
tied 6-6 when the final whistle blew,
but the Phi Gams rolled up an advan
tage in overtime to win. Sands scored
the touchdown for St. Anthony and
Mehaff ey retaliated for the Phi Gams.
Kappa Sigs Score
The Kappa Sigs kept their unde
feated record intact as they routed
ATO 31-0, The Sigs completely over
powered their game opponents who
fought desperately but futilely to the
end. As usual LeBlanc was the torch
bearer for the .victors. He was very
ably assisted by Wooten and Wells.
Long played an excellent game for
the. losers.
SAE trounced a game, hard-fighting
Pika team 14-0. The two teams
played at a very rapid pace. Dumph,
Peck, Glenn, and Garwes played out
standing for the winners, while yuin
cy and Capel showed excellent abil
ity for the losers.
BB Boys Win
The "BB" boys took a 19-6 victory
over a determined Carr team. The
leaders in the BB attack were Jouliff ,
Phillips, and Gasgoigne. Albright
carried the brunt of the load for the

excellent passing attack. The Carr
boys fought hard but could not cope

with their more powerful rivals.
Another overtime thriller took place
when Whitehead finally scored to take
the nod over an NROTC "A" team
that fought hard to avert defeat. The
regulation time ended in a 6-6 dead
lock which made it necessary to play
an overtime period. Renolds was the
star for the winners while Yelverton
looked good for the losers.
Thrilling Game
In a ding-dong game that kept ev
ery player so excited that it was hard
to keep his' hands on the ball, Dis
trict 2 "A" won a hairline decision
over Steele Barracks 8-7. A safety
proved to be the winning point. This
was one of the most exciting games
of the year.
A devastating NROTC "B" team
steamrollered its way to a 27-0 vic
tory over an outclassed Delta Sig Pi
team. The losers fought hard but to
no avail. Pope scored 13 points to
set the pace for the victors, while Ber
luti played well for the outscored but
not outgamed losers.
Navy Soccer Team
Defeats Duke, 3-0
The Navy's varsity soccer team, 3 to
0 victors over Duke in the first start of
the season, meets the hard-running
High Point College squad here today
at 3:30 o'clock, in a game that looks to
be a toss-up.
High Point also holds a 3 to 0 de
cision over Duke.
Popularity of the song, "I've Got a
Gal in Kalamazoo," led men students
at Kalamazoo college to choose Sara
Woolley, a native of the city, as "the
girl in Kalamazoo College."
Fifty-eight students have enrolled
for study of Portuguese at the Uni
versity of Texas.
C oed Hockey Play
Continues Today
Today at 12 noon, the undefeated
AD Pi hockey team will meet the Town-
Archer girls in the play off of their
match scheduled for Tast Thursday.
The game will be held in Kenan sta
dium. Yesterday's two matches ended in
forfeits. The Mclver vs. Kenan game,
scheduled for 2 o'clock, was awarded
to Kenan because their opponents were
unable to rally enough players. Spen
cer gained a victory over Alderman
dorm for the same reason.
Next week's play opens Monday aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock in Kenan stadium
with a game between Town-Archer and
Pi Phi.
Volleyball
Coed volley ball among the dormi
tory teams began yesterday afternoon
with a 37 to 36 Alderman victory over
Mclver, and a 1 to 0, default victory
for Spencer over Kenan.
Five More Advance
To Quarter-Finals
In Tennis Tourney
Almost all of the quarter final berths
were filled yesterday in the fall tennis
tournament as five more contestants
joined the six players that had reached
that round previously.
In the most exciting clash of the
day and of the freshman tourney thus
far, fourth-seeded Hank Foreman
came from behind to nip Harvey Jagoe
8-10, 9-7, 6-4. Both players displayed
a good brand of tennis and the match
was featured by many long and bril
liant volleys. Foreman will now meet
Charles Hackney. Ray Morris, ranked
first, won from Jerry Amundson by de
fault and wiU play Bob Tuttle. Other
freshmen to reach the quarter final
round are second-seeded Clark Taylor
and Bob Goldwater.
In the upperclassman tourney, Mil
ton Cash defeated Jerry Drucker 6-2,
6-0, and will next oppose third-ranking
Harold Cohen. In the only three-set
match of this group, Harry Scully
trimmed David Howell 6-4, 0-6, 6-4.
Bob Fineburg beat Larry Holzman
6-4, 6-2.
A PAIR OF co-captains who will
see a lot of service for their re
spective teams today are Joe Aus
tin, above, and Walt McDonald,
below. Austin scored both Caro
lina touchdowns from his wing
back position last week. McDon
ald broke the Tulane pass receiv
ing record last fall.
Tar Heels Battle
Green Wave Today
(Continued from first page)
tomorrow.
The Tar Heels highly underrated
at the start of the campaign have
turned in four straight surprising
games' to came up to this clash unde
feated. Boasting a line-up that is pre
dominantly sophomoric, Carolina has
nevertheless played four brilliant
games against stiff opposition.
Same Lineup
It is the same lineup that has per
formed so nobly thus far this fall that
will get the starting nod from Coach
Jim Tatum tomorrow. The Tar Heels
have a crack group of backfield stars
that is expected to trouble the
Greenies tomorrow afternoon. Billy
Myers, sensational sophomore tail
back, got off for several long runs
against Duquesne last week and com
pleted a touchdown pass. Joe Aus
tin, co-captain and wingback, ran 71
yards for a touchdown last Saturday
and caught a scoring pass. Clay
Groom, Mike Cooke, Bill Sigler, Shot
Cox and Walt Pupa are other Tar
Heel backs who will bear watching.
Tulane has a talent-laden secondary
of its own headed by Larrupin' Lou
Thomas. Lou returned the opening
kickoff by the Tar Heels last fall 101
yards for a touchdown and the invad
ers never recovered from that blow.'
Co-Captain Bubber Ely is one of the
top-notch halfbacks in the South.
Stiff Test
The Carolina line faces one of its
stiff est tests to date against the tricky
single-wing T formation attack of the
Greenies. The Tar Heel forward wall
has put up a tight defense all year
under the leadership of such stal
warts as end Craven Turner, center
Chan Highsmith, guard Tank Mar
shall and Ralph JStrayhorn and tackles
Joe Wolf and Bob Heymann. High
smith, the sophomore center sensa
tion, is being called one of the best
pivot-men in the nation and he has
lived up to that title with several iron
man performances this fall. He has
missed only 11 minutes of play this
year.

Grid Action
In Carolina
Raleigh Fans Eye
Fullback Blanchard
By Charlie Easter
The Tar Babies-Wolfcub grid
classic today in Raleigh will take
the limelight in this part of the
state when the rookies of State
college try to stop the victory
bound freshman squad of Caro
lina. The eyes of the capitol
fans will be centered on the
starting backfield for the Tar
Babies which formed the main drive in
turning back the Davidson Kittens
last week.
Doc Blanchard, who has been termed
by the Durham sport authorities as
something that will be turned loose i
against the Techlets, will be the cen
ter attraction of the freshmen today.
Blanchard turned in a great game
against Davidson, smashing his 210
pound frame through the Kitten sec
ondary and playing a stellar role on
the defense. Running close behind
Blanchard comes the trio of Rusty
Craver, Jim Culberson, and Jack
Fitch. It was Fitch last Saturday
who knotted two markers against the
Davidson club, one of them being a
70-yard run on an intercepted pass.
Culberson was outstanding 'as he
loose-hipped his way around the ends,
and Craver bore the brunt of the at
tack from his blocking back post.
Forward Wall
Not to be underrated is the stiff
forward wall that the Carolina fresh
man coaches have built up, and who
played well in the contest last week.
Dokmanovich will again start at left
end, and he should see plenty of offen
sive action today as the freshman
club has been building up on its pass
ing game this week. Taking the place
of Wilbur Ellis, right end, who went
out of action last Monday because of
a broken? ankle which he suffered
while scrimmaging against the var
sity, will be Elliot. Elliot will have a
stiff task cut out for himself tomor
row as he is holding down the strong
side on the offense, and State runs
many of its plays around his end on
the defense.
Guard Mainstays
Max Spurlin and Rutkowski will
again be the mainstays at the guard
positions. Bill Cameron, who starred
for Oxford Orphanage, again begins
the game at the center slot. Fowl
and Slaughter place over 200 pounds
apiece at the tackles.
The Wolfcubs will take the field to
day coached by Woody Jones star
tackle for State last year, and it will
be the initial game of th season both
for the coach and the team. It is to
be remembered by Coach Bill Lange's
charges that it was State last year
who came home with the bacon as
they turned under the Tar Babies 19
13 in Greensboro as Art Teague
romped like a wolf through Carolina
territory.
Fall Diamond
Workouts End
Fall baseball practice ended yester
day afternoon as Coach Bunn Hearn
arid his charges discontinued their ses
sions after four weeks of successful
drilling.
Coach Hearn was pleased with the
fall turnout of about 22 men and found
some good prospects for next year's
team. He was able to get a line on many
new sophomore players, upon whom
the team will bank heavily next sea
son since the squad was hard hit by
graduation and the draft. Among the
most serious losses to the armed forces
was that of co-captain John Hearn,
who enlisted in the Navy Air Corps.
Many varsity players were unable
to reprt for the diamond drills because
of football, basketball, or band prac
tice. The coach announced that all play
ers should turn in their equipment by
this afternoon.
