In Keen Rivalry
Slated for 2:30
By Carroll Poplin
Both the Blue and the White
teams are keyed up for today's
formal intrasquad contest and the
strong rivalry between the two
squads should result in a close
affair this afternoon when they
lock horns in Kenan Stadium at
2 :30. The game will be reeled off
despite the weather conditions.
Today's battle will give the
Carolina supporters a preview of
the 1946 gridiron machine which
will carry the blue and white
colors through one of the tough
est schedules in history.
The squads have been working
secretly a good portion of the
past week and each respective
coach has several tricky plays
to throw in the fracas today. Yes
terday the teams held their final
drill session and knocked out all
the kinks in readiness for the
Spring Bowl game.
Coach Russ Murphy, who will
be guiding the reins of the blue
squad this afternoon, was reach
ed for the following comment,
yesterday. "I will reserve my pre
game statement until after the
game," which hints that the
White squad is in for a good
going over. Murphy is being as
sisted by Coach Percy Gill.
A low confident voice under
the shower from Coach Max
Reed, who is handling the White
team's strategy today said,
"We'll take 'em." Sizing up the
views of the respective coaches,
the fans can expect a hotly con
tested scrap in Kenan this after

Head Coach Carl Snavely, who
remains impartial as to the out

Strong Navy Team Favored
Over Tar Heel Track Squad
Chunk Simmons Carries Carolina Chances
To Upset Powerful Middie Runners Today
By Jim Pharr
Carolina's track team will meet the strong Naval Academy team
at Annapolis this afternoon, in what is expected to be the toughest
dual track meet of the season for the Tar Heels.
The Navy has been rated to win over the Tar Heels today, in
view of their strong showing in previous meets this season. The
Middies have rolled over several
oponents by large margins. Last
month the Duke Blue Devils lost
to the Navy team by about a 40
point margin.
Tar Heels Undefeated
In capturing two duel meets
this season. Carolina has also
run up big scores. The Tar Heels
opened their season by plaster-
ing a strongiy-ratea ueorgia
Tech team. The following week
the Carolina trackmen over
whelmed a University of Vir
ginia team by a large margin.
Upon the broad shoulders of
Chunk Simmons, veteran from
Charlotte, rests the Tar Heels'
best chance to upset the Mid
dies today. Simmons has rolled
up 32 points in Carolina's first
two track meets, wim nrst
places in both the high and low
hurdles and the broad jump. The
javelin throw is also down Sim
mon's alley, as shown by the
fact that he has copped two
third places in the javelin event.
Other men have been picking
up first places in previous meets
and who are expected to come
through today include Mark
Burnham, ex-Dartmouth miler;

The middle and long distances
have been well-padded and con

At doubles, the three combi

the likely duo for the number

combine with Duke Wilder at
the second pairing and Daniels

A 9-0 score today would give
the Tar Heels their fourth con

This was Carolina's second
win over the Deacons, and the
fourth triumph of the season
against a lone setback at the
hands of the powerful Univer

Memphis Ed Bailey was long
off the tee yesterday afternoon
as he led the Tar Heels with a
brilliant one-over-par 73. Had
it not been for faulty chipping
and several putts that ran into

might have turned in a sensa
