SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1942. Carolina Gridde Battle Old Rival THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE THREE Nine Players End Careers For Tar Heels (Continued from first page) kept inactive by an old knee injury. Either Joe Austin or Clay Croom, neither of whom is in top shape, will have to get the nod at the wingback spot. Mike Cooke, leading candidate for all-conference honors and a bril liant punter, will start at blocking back for the Tar Heels. Nine Seniors Nine seniors will be playing their last games for the Tar Heels. Be sides Austin and Marshall, Bob Hey raann and Joe Wolf, starting tackles, Bill Sigler, starting fullback, Cooke, Pecora, reserve wingback Tony "Webb, and reserve tackle Graham are the men wearing Blue and White colors of Carolina on a football field for the last time in intercollegiate competi tion. Chan Highsmith, sensational soph omore center and candidate for a all conference berth, will again lead the Carolina line into action. Highsmith played 59 minutes of football against Duke last week and is expected to see a lot of action this afternoon. Virginia's small and light squad will have to draw heavily on such 60 minute players as Charlie Cooper, center; Tony Lakln, guard; and Mil ton Parlow and Bob Seiler, tackles. These four have been forced to play without substitution in recent games because of the Cavalier's lack of re serve linemen. Captain Bill Hill, Eric Schlesinger, and Tom Dudley have been used in rotation as ends in the last two games. Hill, who will prob ably be the lightest lineman on the field, will be leading the Virginians in their last game. Carolina has a slight edge in weight, and the Virginians boast more - HERBERT MUNHALL, 190-pound Virginia back returns to action against Carolina this afternoon, and his presence in the lineup will give the Cavaliers a plunging fullback for the first time this fall. Wrestling Meet Starts This Tuesday Entries Due Now For Mural Tourney By Don Atran One of the school's most popular in tramural features, the annual fra ternity and dormitory wrestling tour nament, starts on Tuesday, December 1. Never lacking in participation or spectation appeal, the wrestling matches have become one of the most highly regarded events on the fall cal endar.

Sigler Varsity Defeats Freshman Squad In Tennis Meet Capturing five out of seven matches, the varsity tennis squad overcame a strong freshman team yesterday in a meeting between the two squads. In the number one singles contest, Harold Maass came from behind in both sets to nip Clark Taylor, yearling champioon, by a score of 9-7, 8-6. Hunt Hobbs defeated Don Peck in the only three-set clash, 6-3, 3-6, 6-1. Charles Hackney gained the lone singles tri umph for the freshmen by defeating the upperclassman turney victor, Ad rian Slaughter, 6-1, 6-3. Harold Co hen, taking the place of Milton Cash, trimmed Hank Foreman, 6-4, 6-3, while Bill Lowenstein clinched victory for the varsity by beating Alex Parker, 6-1, 6-2. Best Battle In one of the best battles of the afternoon, Taylor and Peck gained re venge in a doubles contest over their singles conquerors, Maass and Hobbs, by gaining a brilliant triumph, 6-3, 6-3. There were many long volleys which were kept alive by some dazzling shots. In the final clash of the day, Moyer Hendrix and Bill Lowenstein set back Charles Hackney and Alex Parker, 6-4, 7-9, 6-2. sistance to their rugged cohorts. Entries Accepted Entries will be accepted in the var sity wrestling room on Monday, No vember 30, until six p.m. An intra mural department representative wil be on hand throughout the day to weigh in the contestants. The only require ments are aji 'A" medical rating. Ex perience is decidedly not prerequisite The intramural department has re quested that all athletic managers im mediately contact their grapplers and have them start training. Condition is an. extremely important factor, espe cially.when there is a lack of some of the more technical aspects of the game. Coach Chuck Quinlan, varsity wrest ling mentor, will act as general super visor of the tournament, and Lem Gib bons and Hobart McKeever, varsity grapplers, will referee the bouts. Competition will start each day at 5:30 and continue until" 7:15. It is probable that a number of the matches will be held in the evening. The bouts will be handled according to inter collegiate rules, with timers checking the time advantage on each wrestler. Each win counts a single point for the team the victor represents. Last year Zeta Psi took the fraternity champion ship by winning 48 matches, while 10 wins clinched the dormitory title for Graham. In the past, the intramural wrest ling tournament has produced athletes with enough ability to contend for posi tions on the varsity team. In fact, last year, two winners, Lem Gibbons and Sam Mordecai, secured first team berths after showing their prowess in the tourney. Mordecai, now a member of the Pre-flight School here, met with amazing success, losing but a single macth all season, and taking the 155 pound conference championship. Coed Archers May Shoot Today Gay Venable and Dot Brooks, coed managers. for the archery tournament, announce that girls who wish to shoot in the tourney this morning will be able to do so between 10 and 12 o'clock. The shooting will take place in Ke nan stadium. WILLIAMSBURG, VA., Nov. 20 Unbeaten William and Mary College, gunning for the Southern conference championship, goes outside the league today for what may prove too tough an assignment. The opponent is the U. S. Navy Pre-flight School Cloud busters from Chapel Hill, N. C, who boast a season's record of seven vic tories, one tie and defeat to date. - With the Navy squad is a man every football fan in the state of Virginia knows well Art Jones, deluxe half back who sparkled for Richmond and then did himself proud with the Pitts burgh Steelers in the National Pro fessional League. Jones has been nam ed captain of the Cloudbusters for to morrow's clash here and he is expect ed to put on a great show for the home folk. The Cloudbusters have taken great delight this season in knocking off unbeaten teams which should be fair warning to the William and Mary hus kies who are harboring visions of a bid to a New Year's bowl game. Last vic time of Lieut. Comdr. Jim Crowley's team was the Big Orange of Syra cuse who gave the 'Busters a stiff bat tle but bowed, 9-0, in their first loss of the season. One undefeated, untied team to face the cadets was Boston College and the Eagles still have an unblemished record. B. C. Downed the Navy, 7 to 6, thus becoming the only team to hold a decision over the Crowleymen. Last Saturday afternoon, before '10,000 chilled fans in the Polo Grounds, New York, the Cloudbusters had little trouble downing oft-beaten Manhat tan college, 17 to 0. Walter Scampers Walter Zwiezynski scampered 43 yards behind flawless interference for the first touchdown in the opening per iod and in the third stanza End Hay ward Sanford booted a 12-yard field goal. In the fourth quarter the Cloud busters staged a sustained 50-yard drive that ende in a score when Mort Lansberg broke over right guard from four yards out. Sanford added the conversions after each tally. That William and Mary will give the favored Cadets a busy afternoon is a foregone conclusion. Coach Crow ley has indicated he holds today's op ponent in high regard and has spent much time this week in preparing for the clash. The W. and M. line will average 210 pounds per man and is active enough to make the going tough on the ground for the visitors To offset this, Coach Crowley is ex pected to send his attack to the air with Jones doing a majority of the hurling. , Michigan Plays Ohio State In Today's Grid Feature Four Big Five teams conclude their schedules this afternoon, with the state championship hinging on the outcome of one of the games. As the Tar Heels battle the Vir ginia Cavaliers at Charlottesville, it is expected that for once, they will be rooting for Duke to win. For, in the event of a Duke victory over N. C. State, the Big Five title will be shar ed by the Tar Heels and the Blue De vils. A triumphant State eleven would gain undisputed control of the crown. Davidson plays Citadel in the other state finale. Wake Forest ends its season next week. The big feature attraction of the South will be the attempts of Georgia and Georgia Tech to maintain their undefeated records against Auburn and Florida. This would bring the struggle for southern and possibly na tional supremacy down to the last game of the year, since the two tre mendous titans tussle next week. Other important contests include those between Alabama and Vander bilt, Tennessee and Kentucky, North FOR A GOOD TIME AND - FRIED CHICKEN STEAKS REGULAR DINNERS "ONLY THE BEST" DROP ANCHOR at MARLEY'S Carolina Navy and undefeated Wil liam and Mary, and Clemson and Fur man. The top game of the day, and! the one that will do most toward determ ining the Big Ten and Midwest cham pion, will pit the mighty Michigan Wolverines against once-beaten Ohio State. The largest crowd of the year, 50,000, is expected to attend. The other clash which will determine the conference leader is the Wisconsin Minnesota battle. All four clubs still have a chance to either win or tie for the title with the Gophers' chances most doubtful. Other midwestern tilts will see Notre Dame oppose North western, Great Lakes battle Illinois, Iowa Navy play Nebraska, and In dians meet Purdue. The big power in the East, Boston College, has a breather in its game with its intra-city rival, Boston Uni versity. Yale and Harvard tangle to decide the Big Three championship. Big City Games Two important contests are being held in New York City, with Columbia meeting Dartmouth and Fordham op posing Missouri. Elsewhere in the East, Army plays Princeton and Penn State tackles Pitt. The leader of the Southwest con ference may be determined today when Rice battles , TCU and Baylor plays SMU. The leading game on the West Coast may affect the western representative at the Rose Bowl. UC LA, one of the leading contenders, must defeat Washington to remain in the running. California meets Stan ford' and Oregon clashes with Oregon State in other top tilts. Hugo Germino Names Trio of Tar Heels On Conference Team Ralph Strayhorn, Mike Cooke, and Chan Highsmith of Carolina's 1942 eleven, were named by Hugo Germino sports editor of the Durham Sun, on his All-Southern conference team yes terday. Strayhorn, a sophomore guard in his first year of varsity ball, has played a stellar game throughout the fall. Cooke, besides being an excellent Work ing back, has also been one of the na tion's top punsters in his senior year. Highsmith; another soph, has been called the best center in the South. He has played the large majority of every game this season. Joe Austin, Tar Heel co-captain, was named on Germino's second team at wingback. Druitt Picks UNC, Harvard, Ohio State Selects Minnesota, Notra Dame, Duke By Bob Druitt Eastern football continued in its up set role last week when such favorites as Syracuse, Penn, Princeton, and Wil liams dropped games to their more lightly regarded opponents. It was the last game of the season for Williams, 19-7 victor over Princeton, and elimi nated them from the ranks of the un defeated. Two last quarter thrusts gave the Lord Jeffs of Amherst one of the biggest upsets of the day. Else where, it was Kentucky, Nebraska, lemple, Notre Dame, Villanova. LSU. Alabama, South Carolina, Texas Tech, and lexas that failed to comply with our predictions. Our only error "in the far west was Ellensberg's one point victory over Pacific Lutheran. Almost all other predictions were correct, rais ing the average to 81.6. Some of the tougher games to call this week are: Columbia-Dartmouth, Manhattan-Holy Cross, Michigan State-West Virginia, Ohio State-Michigan, Minnesota-Wisconsin, Davidson Citadel, Rice-TCU, UCLA-Washington, and Hardin-Simmons-Texas-Tech. Those two Big Nine games will decide the conference championship. Major games tomorrow: ARMY over Princeton BOSTON COLLEGE over Boston U.

The Car olina yearlings had previously defeat ed the Blue Imps at Durham. Jim Miller set the pace with 11:46 for the two and one-quarter mile course. Bill Palmer of Duke was four seconds behind the Tar Heel ace when the two men hit the track for the fin al quarter mile test, and Miller held his lead all the way to the tape. McKenzie Third Julian McKenzie of Carolina finish ed third in 12:21 with two team-mates, Briiey and Burritt, finishing in a tie for fourth, thirteen seconds behind him. Briley and Burritt had to fight off a spirited stretch by Parker and Graham of Duke, and they finished a bare second in front of Parker. ' Boyd, Jacobson, and Bristow, all of Carolina, finished in that order be hind Graham. Clisby of Duke was next then Kemp and Sirkis of Carolina, -then Waggoner of Duke, followed by wan oi ttte Tar Babies. Varsity Trial Shortly after the freshman meet, a varsity time trial was run. Coach Ranson expressed his disappointment over the outcome of these trials in no uncertain terms. He said that any team member who failed to run the four mile course in 21:50 would not be recommended for an award. He al so said that anyone who would like to be timed whether a varsity team member or not, could report to the track any week day afternoon at five o'clock. Anyone who breaks 21:50 on the four mile course will be recom mended for an award. Varsity team members objected, saying that they enjoyed running and staying in good shape but saw little reason for getting into strenuous meet shape when there were no meets. Frank Hardy Frank Hardy was the only runner to come in under 21:50 yesterday. He finished in 21:31, and Howard Ennis was the second man in an even 22 minutes for the four mile course. Par trick and Jewett were next. Dick Hol lander carried a clock all the way around the course with him and vio lently protested that there was a dis crepancy of forty seconds between the time it took him to run the race and him to run the race and his hedjos his official time. He claimed that his 23:28 should have been a 22:48. Van Waggoner and Nathan finished to gether in 23:44 with Hunt, Campbell, and Gilbert behind them in that order. Varsity, Frosh Clash in Annual Fish Bowl Today The annual Fish Bowl meet between varsity and freshman swimmers will be held this afternoon at 3 o'clock in Bowman Gray memorial pool with eight events scheduled. The distances at which the mermen on the two teams will clash are the 50, 100, and 220-meter free-style, 100 meter back stroke, 100-meter breast stroke, 150-meter medley, and 200 meter relay race: Diving competition will also be held. All freshmen inter ested in diving are requested to come out since there is a lack of yearling divers. Spectators are invited to witness the meet, which has always produced many excellent swimmers for Coach Dick Jamerson's Blue Dolphin team. The contestants should be at the pool no later than 2:45. - So far, many aquatic stars have come up from the freshman ranks. Snooky Proctor has bettered the South ern conference 440 record, accomplish ing the brilliant time of 5:16.5. In the 220-meter, Ben Ward has made 2:21.2, and Proctor has done 2 :22. Jesse Green baum, who will not nppear in the inter class meet due to sickness, has turned in the excellent times of 27.9 for 50 meters, 1:03.2 for 100 meters, and 1:15.5 for the 100-meter backstroke. Other outstanding mermen for the freshmen include Ed Bond, Allen Kaufman and Joe Algrante in the free style; Jerry Cooke and Ira Abraham son in the breaststroke, and Billy Hobbs in the backstroke.
