SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6. 1946 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Page Three 1 SPORT SPINS with IRWIN SMALLWOOD MIAMI, Fla., Oct. 5 Carolina met the Miami University Hurri- m . uxxicaiie oi its own Here last night, only the Tar Heel "twister" was in the form 6f Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice. From the third play of the game until the end, the Asheville mercury footed scatback paced the rejuvenated Tar Heels to their 21-0 "upset" victory over the Floridians, gaining a total of 206 yards in 10 running plays. It was a great surprise for the 31,000 fans who witnessed the fray, for pre-game betting heavy as it was had Carolina anywhere from a 3Y2 to a 14 point underdog. Coach Carl Snavely, who feared the heat so much before the game, used virtually all of the 38 players who made the trip, substituting frequently to keep the boys rested from the mercury resting at 78 degrees all through the contest. The first run by Justice, which carried him 65 yards from deep punt forma tion, was the beginning of the end for Miami. In the words of Miami Coach Jack Harding, "That first run almost took the life and spirit of the team. We have no excuses, however. It was merely an old-fashioned licking." On the 65-yard jaunt, Justice found himself trapped when running to wards one sideline and he cut back beautifully to the side and outran the entire Miami team. Quoting Luther Evans in this morning's Miami Herald, "North Carolina showed the University of Miami plenty of Justice but little mercy." The score might have been even bigger in favor of the Tar Heels had not Snavely kept the teams rotated with frequent substitutions. The Tar Heels also proved that they have the ability to drive for touch downs as well as grab them on long runs. The second score was the result of a 64-yard push even though Justice added a 26-yard jaunt to put the ball in good scoring position. Although Justice was the spark all night and gained more than his share of the yardage, the entire Tar Heel team showed up very well and indicated much improvement since last Saturday's deadlock with VPI. Hosea Rodgers, regular fullback from 1943, did a bruising job on the Miami line and Billy Myers, starting tailback in 1942, came through beau tifully on a fourth-dosvn off-tackle run for the second touchdown. Myers was used considerably all through the game, as was Biliy Britt, the former high school mate of Justice. Britt scampered 51 yards with an intercepted pass for a touchdown just after the second half got underway, but it was called back on a clipping penalty. In the line, where more work than could be noted went on, virtually all of the Tar Heels were outstanding. The ends blocked well, the tackles tackled hard, and the guards yielded little through the middle. Ted Hazelwood, Sid Varney, Chan Highsmith, and all the rest right down the line, were tops and they showed probably more improvement over last week than anybody .else. Injuries were light for the Tar Heels, although Ernie Williamson, the hefty tackle, had to be taken out and may miss next week's game. Mike Eubish also suffered a minor hurt but he should be ready for action against Maryland. (Just as a side note, Maryland will be on the rebound when it invades Chapel Hill next Saturday, Richmond having downed the "upper southern" lads, 37-7.) Usually a pretty serious-tempered gent, Carl Snavely had bursts of laugh ter and pride in locker-room chatter after the victory. "I feel much better than last week," he said smilingly. "The boys proved that they got a lot of good out of the VPI game." Snavely emphasized that the "line play was considerably improved" and that the quarterbacking also was of higher calibre. "I felt sort of bad when we missed that touchdown right at the close of the first half," Snavely went on, recalling the Tar Heel fumble on the Miami two-yard line just before the second period ended. "I knew that Miami was a second-half club and that 14-point lead didn't look too big. I remembered last week's game." Back at the El Commodore Hotel where the team was eating, Snavely's talk switched to plans for next week and the tussle with Maryland in Chapel Hill. "We have a lot of work to do on the defense against the "T" forma tion," he concluded, "and we have to get at it fast." - Vols, State Capture Tills Over Blue Devils, Clemson By BUI Woestendiek DUKE STADIUM, Durham, Oct. 5 Duke University's football fortunes sank to a new low here today as a strong, hard-charging Tennessee eleven struck twice through the air to hand the Blue Devils a 12-7 defeat after spotting them a first period touchdown. Outplayed and deep in their own territory most of the afternoon, Coach Wallace Wade's club put on : its one offensive display of the day State 14; Clemson 7 with nine minutes gone in the open-1 North Carolina State's Wolf pack, ing period on a pass by Buddy Luper riding behind 165-pound Howard Tur- Picking up the loose ends: Paul Severin, All-American end at Carolina several years ago and who is now line coach at Florida under Ray Wolf, a former Tar Heel mentor, was on hand scouting Miami and Carolina. Quite an aggregation of Carolina rooters congregated in front of our press-box perch, and even some of the Miami fans joined in the cheers for Justice and Co. It -was evident from the start that Carolina had Miami's number, which can be attributed to the fine scouting work of Russ Murphy, Tar Heel backfield coach. Wake Foiest continued undefeated by trampling Georgetown, 19-6, in Washington. Chan Highsmith was acting captain for the night. So ends a successful journey, Carolina winning, 21-0. BEAT DOOK! to substitute eiiC Bill Duncan, who got by the Tennessee secondary to take the ball on the Tennessee 35 and race for a touchdown: a net gain of 65 yards on the play. General Bob Neyland's undefeated Vols took over at that point and were in control the remainder of the game. . Tennessee threatened twice to score in the closing minutes of the first period, but the big Blue defense stiffened to stop them, once on the five-yard line. But the superior -team today could not be denied permanently and paced by a pair of backfield running and passing combinations in Walt Slater, Ralph Chancey, Bob Lund and Bill Hillman, kept driving deep into Duke territory. In the closing seconds of the first quarter, Lund took Luper's punt on the Tennessee 48 and reversed his field completely, leaving his interfer ence and tripping down the sidelines for 42 yards before Bob Gantt and Luper forced him out of bounds on the Duke 10 as the quarter ended. Slater replaced Lund and hit Hill- man with a spot pass on the three yard line as the second period open ed. Hillman scooted over the line without being touched. Harold Mullins broke through to block Hillman's try for the extra point, and the Devils were in front by the margin of Bob Gantt's place ment. Tennessee stayed deep in Duke ter ritory for the rest of the first half, but the Devils put up stiff resistance with their backs to the wall and stav ed off further scoring. The same team that had started the game for the Vols came out to begin the second half and practically blast ed the Devils off the gridiron. They took the kickoff on their own 12-yard stripe and scored in 12 plays with Slater mixing some brilliant running with his spot passing. The touch down drive culminated with a straight pass to left end Hubbell over the center of the line for the winning score. Mitchell tried the placement and Duke surged through to block it again, but the Vols didn't need any extra points today. Duke's running and passing attack failed to click after the one scorirg play. Luper played most of the game for the Devils, but could not spear head any real offensive drive. George Clark was used sparingly, and broke away for a couple of nice runs, but the Dukesters were well-bottled np all day. Tennessee looked like much the better team this afternoon in handing Duke its second drubbing in two weeks. TODAY and MONDAY )s& ommzi rn ' m' (.. W 1? TMil!! f Gay as a fiesta!

They call him "Touchdown" Tur ner, and the scrappy Wolfpack ace made it look good, going 98 yards with a kickoff for one score and sweeping his own left end for 10 yards on the other. Clemson scored first seven minutes after the kickoff, when big Gerald (Dutch) Leverman broke through his right tackle and thundered 33 yards to give Clemson a 7 to 0 lead after Bull Cagle made the placement. Turner took Clemson's kickoff on his own two-yard line, cut for the middle, swerved to the sideline and sidestepped Clemson's Robert Gage on the 50 to go all the way. Fifteen thousand people watched Turner start State's winning touch down drive of 62 yards by returning Brisendine's punt 22 yards. A 17 yard pass from Turner to Blomquist went to Clemson's 16 and after a five yard Clemson penalty Turner ran wide to his right. He was hemmed in, so he circled the field on a wide sweep to his left and went over again un touched.

' Julian McKenzie, Jack Milne and Jimmy Miller led the pack in with a time of 29:50. Right behind in the following order were Mark Burnham, Alvin Smith, Sam Magill, Holstead Holden, Johnny Strait, Dick Lewis, Tom Jewett, and J. W. Bristow. Coach Dale Ranson was well satis fied with the performance of the squad considering the fact that it is only the first week of practice. The time was fair but muchnnore improvement must be made in the next two weeks to get by Navy at An napolis. The team will be sent over the long course all of next week and time trials will be held to determine the men that will make the trip. Ohio State Upsets Southern Cal, 21-0 Los Angeles, Oct. 5 (UP) The Trojans of Southern California were perfect hosts to their visitors from Ohio State. They let the Buckeyes take their ball game this afternoon, 21-0. Some 80,000 fans saw Fullback Joe Whisler a 207-pound giant smash his way to all three of the Buckeye touchdowns. John Stungis kicked the three conversions. Whisler was a powerhouse. He help ed carry the ball to within striking distance three times, then lugged it over against stubborn opposition from the Southern California line.

LOUIS, Oct. 5 (UP) The hard-hitting Boston Red Sox have been established as 7 to 20 Xavorites to whip the National League cham pion St. Louis Cardinals in the 43rd World Series starting here tomorrow at Sportsman's Park. Rival managers Joe Cronin of the Sox and Eddie Dyer of the Red Birds are expected to send Tex Hughson and Howie Pollet to the mound in the first clash, although Cronin may spring a surprise before game time rolls around by nominating Mickey Harris to handle the mound chores. Dyer will be playing percentage in trying to stop the vaulted Red Sox power with southpaw hurling and will follow Pollet, the first lefthander to win 20 games in the National League since 1937, with another southpaw, Harry Brecheen. Two Boston hurlers, Hughson and Dave Ferriss, topped the 20-game mark this year and the latter may start either of the first two tilts. A side duel for hitting honors is expected to be staged between Ted Williams of the Sox and Red Bird Stan Musial, who led both leagues in batfing with a .365 mark. Williams will receive more help than the Card inal clouter from teammates Rudy York, Bobby Doerr, Johnny Pesky, and Dom DiMaggio, but St. Louis will try to counter with Enos Slaughter, Whitey Kurowski, Terry Moore, and Harry Walker. Neither team is entering the series at full physical strength, with the greatest doubt being placed on Wil liams' elbow, injured earlier this week. DiMagigo had an injured thumb, while Pollet and Slats Marion have both suffered from sore backs in recent weeks. All four, however, are expected to be in shape to play.
