WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1946 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Page Three Sport -- Spins Irwin sraallwood THE SPORTING SCENE : In the minds of most sports fans, soccer is something that is played in some foreign coun try before afternoon tea. 'Taint neccessarily so, though, for even in Dixieland name ly North . Carolina there is such. And it will be displayed here Friday afternoon when the newly-formed Tar Heel soccer club meete Virginia. Marvin (now Coach) Allen, who was for a while director of intra murals here at Carolina, is the man who is responsible for the forming of the team, and he is trying hard to establish it as a varsity sport . on the UNC agenda. When things first started, with the general call for candidates, the outlook was dark indeed. But much to the surprise of Coach Allen and the skeptics who thought it would be a flop, something over 30 boys reported, with varied experience from service ball to prep school competition. Practice has been held daily, and diligently, since the second week of the fall term, and a lot of work - has gone into the building of the team. We pass on congratulations to Coach Allen and the soccer team before the game, for win or lose they have done a good job in provid ing more sports for the overflow of students at Carolina. The intramural touch football sea son is in its second week of competi tion although the first one was abreviated by rain and going along nicely according to reports. There have been many upsets dotting the results, one of the major ones being the defeat of the strong DKE club day before yesterday. While on the subject of the mural game "so-called" tag foot ball, we will pass on an oft-heard gripe about the situation. The talk and complaint reaching us is that it is hard to even recog nize the game as tag football ex cept that they use a football. Seems the game has had its rules changed around so you can pass anywhere on the field atany time, as many times in succession and on the same play as you want, even on the kick off. Also, blocking has been elimina ted. Our only explanation of this is that it must be for the protection of the participants, the elimination of blocking. The rest is not too clear, but the rules have evidently been al tered to take care of the lack of , blocking. We just stopped writing for a moment, and why not; lhere was great news flashing in on the tele type, news that the St. Louis Card inals had beat the Boston Red Sox 4-3 for the World's Championship. It was undoubtedly one of the most exciting series in all history of baseball, and it kep4; the Cards' slate clean. The Red Birds have never lost a series. It appeared as though our prediction was no good when the first two men up for Bos ton in the ninth singled, but the Cardinal finesse clicked and re tired the side with no damage done. The star of the series, which re sembled the rise of the Cardinals to beat the vaunted Yankees a few years ago, was this boy Harry "The Cat" Brecheen, who was the first man in 26 years to win three games in one series. Our prognostication was good, the Cards in seven games, seven of the most exciting games ever.

Soccer Team Works For Virginia Tilt Carolina's first official soccer team ran through a hard pre-season work out yesterday on Fetzer field and at the end of the practice period Coach Marvin Allen expressed satisfaction at the way his boys were shaping up in preparation for the season opener here Friday afternoon with the Uni versity of Virginia soccermen.

To Practice On Pass Defense Aerial Attack Also Polished Sid Varney May Miss Navy Game Passing, both from the offensive and defensive angles, received the major share of attention in yesterday's grid drill as the Tar Heels continued prep aration for their encounter with Navy in Baltimore Saturday. With his team having pitched 20 passes, of which only seven were com pleted,' Coach Carl Snavely is deter mined to produce an aerial attack to match the solid ground game that the Tar Heels have exihibited in the three games played thus far. Most of the tossing is being, done by Charlie Justice, Max Spellman, and the three taijbacks Myers, Britt, and Maceyko. The receivers include ends George Sparger, Joe Romano, John Tandy and Bob Cox along with wing backs Jim Camp and B. K. Grow. From the defensive side, Carolina opponents have gained a ttal of 204 yards against the Blue and White de fense and Coach Snavely will attenpt to make sure that a definite reduction of this average takes place against the Middies. Sid Varney, a letterman from last year and a stalwart member of the Carolina forward wall, may miss the game Saturday because of a knee and back injury. He is almost definitely out as a starter. Either Larry Klos terman or George Roberts will be in his post if he fails to start the game. Blue Devils Planning For Battle Saturday Durham, Oct. 15 The way Duke is sizing up Saturday afternoon's clash in Duke stadium with Richmond Uni versity's Spiders is simple indeed: just another tough football game. The Spiders appear to be just about as good as any team in the conference. Their 37-7 victory over Maryland when the Old Liners were expected to win put the boys of Johnny Fenlon right at the top of the heap. Their claim to strength was further enhanced last Saturday when North Carolina's strong Tar Heels turned in a 33-0 win over the Maryland outfit. The Spiders opened early, rolling over Randolph Macon by a 46-0 count and then played a 7-7 tie with V. M. I. They really went into high gear against Maryland, completely blasting the Old Liners, and last week remained in the undefeated ranks with a 33-6 tri umph over Hampden-Sydney.

"J J 1 "" U 0 Cards Topple Bosox 4-3 To Capture World Series Harry "The Cat" Brecheen Credited With Third Win; Slaughter Scores ST. LOUIS, OCT. 15. -(UP) The St. Louis Cardinals, under dogs throughout, today nosed out the Boston Red Sox 4-3 here in Sportsman's park to win the 1946 World Series four games to three. Harry Brecheen was the winning pitcher in a relief role, the first pitcher since 1926 to win The slim lefthander was the hero of this World Series with his bril liant pitching. Shortstop Johnny Pes ky was the goat because of his field ing lapse that let in the winning run. . That winning run came in the bot tom of the eighth after the Red Sox had battled back in the top of the inning to tie it up. Enos Slaughter started off the in ning with a single to center. The next two Cardinal batters were easy outs. Then up came Harry "Walker and he doubled to left center. Slaughter was on the go at the crack of the bat and scored from first when Pesky pulled his skuller. The throw from the outfield might have beaten Slaughter to the plate but Pesky hesitated one split moment before his relay to home. That was enough for Slaughter to score and the Cardinals to come home with the world's championship of baseball for this year. . In the top of the ninth, Boston looked like it might get rolling again. Rudy York who already had won two games for Boston with his hom ers opened the frame with a single to left. Bobby Doerr followed with a hit to the same place. That put Bruce Campbell, who had gone in to run for York, on second. Pinky Higgins then dropped one along the third baseline and Kurowski toss ed to second to force Doerr. That meant Campbell was on third 90 feet away from homeplate and an other chance at the World Series for the Bostonians. Catcher Ray Partee came up with a chance to be the big hero. But his chances went up in a foul pop to first baseman Stan Musial. Now there were two outs men on first and third. Pinch-hitter Tom McBride came in to bat for the pitcher. . .he was the one who tied up the first game with a single in the top of the ninth . . .this time he didn't have it The "Cat" had his number. Brecheen came in with a screwball and McBride sent a weak grounder down toward second. The toss from Al Schoendienst to Marty Marion for the force was good. And the Cardi nals walked off the field the winners Thus, the St. Louis team upheld a tradition of never having lost m a series that went seven games. IUlGuQ IbiyObUu o three games in one Series.
