Carolina "T" A Reality
Charlie Justice, Billy Britt, Plus
Some 'Big' Recruits Brighten Outlook
By Eddie Allen
Down from the Land of the
ball players flourish like the rhododendron, have come two com -
pact little men who mav makP.
Snavely change his strategy for
Heels.
Their names are Charlie Jus
tice and Billy Britt. As running
backs for Asheville High they
were something more than sen
sational. As Davids among Go
liaths for two of the most pow
erful of the nation's service
teams Bainbridge Naval and
Maxwell Field, respectively, they
each performed with ability
amazing for mere prep gradu
ates. Now, prematurely seasoned
and with eight years of college
eligibility between them, the
Asheville atoms already are
working into the grid swing of
things here and gladdening on
lookers' hearts in the process.
Now Coach Snavely is one of
the nation's foremost exponents
of that standard attack, the sin
gle wing. With that formation
he has amassed a long and suc
cessful record. But as with any
savant of his calibre, he is never
adverse to change if it means
more commotion in the six-point
columns for his club.
That is why no one would be
too surprised if the Tar Heels
blossomed out with the "T" this
fall, a move Snavely pondered
last season and still must be
considering if present off sea
son work on that form of dyna
mite is any indication. If such a
change does occur, Justice and
Britt will be among the reasons.
The why and wherefore is
logical. In the single wing the
two flashes are tailored for tail
backs, a spot in which they al
ternated in high school days.
Justice, however, whose main
forte is his blinding speed, ran
brilliantly from the right half
back or man in motion with the
"T" modeb Bainbridge power
house. Britt -was a tailback, and
a good one, for the pro studded
Maxwell Field Marauders and as
a runner rates on par with Jus
tice, who also excels at passing
and punting. They both would

THE STRANGE ATT AIR OF
Phantoms Face
-
Catawba Five
In Salisbury
Tar Heels After
17th Win in Row
By Irwin Small wood
Coach Ben Carnevale will send
his White Phantoms after win
tNo - 26 of the season tonight, as
tney a return game with Ca
tawba college in Salisbury at 8
o'clock. This tilt plus the one
with Little Creek Naval Am
phib base Saturday night will
wind up the regular season play
for the Tar Heels, who will de
fend their Southern conference
title February 27, 28, March 1.
For the Phant quint it will be
the 17th consecutive triumph if
Catawba falls before the UNC
onslaught again as they did in
a previous meeting here in Wool
len gym. However, since that
last meeting the Indian basket
bailers have turned in an impres
sive record in North State bat
tling, and the host club may give
the locals a tough, battle as they
wind up collegiate play.
Bones McKinney, who shone
brightly indeed before his home
town folks in Durham Saturday
night to pace the Tar Heels to
a 54-44 victory over Duke, will
cut the pivot capers tonight to
start with, and Johnny 'Hook'
Dillon teams with Bob Paxton
for the forward combine in the
flashy Carnevale offensive lay
out. Old Man reliable himself Jim
Jordan will be at one of the
guard positions in the starting
lineup, while Jim White, who
stuck to Bubber Seward at Duke
like a barnacle on a frigate of
old, takes care of the other
guard post.
Don Anderson, who has been
slowed up as of late by an in
fected arm, and Taylor Thorne,
aggressive 'man about the floor
will be first substitutes at for
ward and . guard respectively,
and Red Hughes will undoubted
ly find himself in the action also
at forward or center.
Baseball Drills
To Start Soon
With the basketball season al
most history, attention will be
turning to baseball at Carolina
soon, it was learned last night
when it was revealed that early
drills will get underway as soon
as Coach Bunn Hearn, veteran
mentor of the Tar Heels, arrives
in Chapel Hill to go to work.
Coach Hearn, who resides in
Wilson during the fall and win
ter months, is expected some
time this week, and it is expected
that he will get right down to
work on the job of throwing to
gether a baseball team.

Here are three of the leading entries in the feature one-mile
run, which will be one of the highlights of the annual Southern
Invitation Track Championships at the University of North
Carolina Saturday. Left to right : Mark Burnham, North Caro
lina; J. Ellsworth, Duke, and Sgt. Paul Fenton, player-coach of
the Cherry Point Marines.
Pole Vault May Produce
Track Meet's Best Show
Always one of the prettiest
the Southern Invitation Indoor
a good chance of producing the highest, fanciest, and most spec
tacular vaulting the South has ever seen.
There have been only a hand
ful of 13-foot vaulters in all the
history of Southern track, but
Sgt. John Montgomery from
Cherry Point set the record up
to 13 feet 5 inches here last
year, and the soaring sergeant
heads the big field "of stars com
ing back for the annual classic
Saturday. .
Jumpin' John did not have any
competition after he passed 12
feet last year, but it will be dif
ferent this time. His rivals will
include Norman McLeod, North
Carolina "GI" and former Con
ference champ, who also was in
the 13-foot class before enter
ing the service.
McLeod has just been hitting
around 12 feet in practice this
winter, but as the former South
ern champion says, "it's hard to
hit that 'magic 13' without some
13-foot competition to spur you
on.
Montgomery, of course, should
be even better than last year,
and if McLeod can get back to
his former peak, the resulting
duel -should be one of the pret
tiest of the whole meet, and it
may well produce the .highest
vault that Dixie fans have ever
been privileged to see.
The Southern Conference inr
door record, by the way, is 13
feet 314 inches. It was set by

Don Zimmerman, the Tulane

and has stood for all these years.
Montgomery's record, is 2

came after the meet was chang

Invitation affair.
