WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27. 1946 Page Three THE DAILY TAR HEEL PORT with IRWIN SMALLWOOD IT'S HARD TO shove football from the spotlight' what with the Tar Heels preparing for their traditional battle with Virginia and riding on the brink of a bowl invitation, but just one week from tonight the White Phantoms of Coach Tom Scott take the floor in their first basketball game of the season. Cherry Point, one of the few service teams still in operation, will furnish the opposition for the initial game, and the contest will mark first time since his taking over that Coach Scott has had a chance to exhibit his work. There is a great record in basketball at Carolina from the past two seasons, and Scott and his squad have a big order to live up to the Southern conference championship team of year before last and the NCAA finalist five of last season. However, indications are that they will do just that live up to the record and maybe even surpass it. This is all supposition, though, and nothing definite can be said until the Phants have been in action a few times. Following the skirmish with the Marines, Catawba of Salisbury and High Point college will come to Chapel Hill for pre-Christmas game. And then on December 19 Carolina will invade Chicago stadium to meet Northwestern and again on the 21st to engage DePaul. That's all until the Tar Heel capers play Maryland back in Woollen gym January 4, the day after school opens , e il 1 I ior tne winter quarxer. Gone from last year are All-American Jim Jordan and Bones McKinney, but in their place have come new recruits and former Carolina stars, lacking only the height and experience that Jordan and McKinney provided. That height is the major weak spot of the White Phantoms as far as can be ascertained from this early observation, but this may be made up for in the fast, maneuverability of such stars as Jim White,' Taylor Thorne, Jim Hay worth, and Dick Hartley, plus that of newcomer Jim Hamilton. Mainstays of the team this year, both in ability and height will be Ail American Johnny Dillon and Bob Paxton, although White, Thorne, and Hay worth will be invaluable on the basis of their experience and ball-hawking. Dillon, the hook shot artist, has been out of practice for a week or so because of an ankle injury, but he should be able to go against Cherry Point. It would be extremely hard to pick a starting lineup at this point,, what with Dillon still ailing and Hamilton suffering a bruised foot. Nonetheless, we would say that the starting five will' come from Dillon, Paxton, White, Hartley, Hamilton, Thorne, and Norm Kohler, Jim Hayworth, the last two being two more newcomers of the White Phantom fold. Scott and his assistant, Pete Mullis, have been drilling the Tar Heel hard wood aspirants hard and steady for weeks now, and they should be about ready for the opening toss come next Wednesday night. Admission plans have not yet been completed, but student pass books will be necessary even though they are void of coupons, so hang on to yours if you plan to attend any of the three basketball games before the winter quarter. The bowl situation for the Tar Heels remains a question mark, but the Caro lina gridders are working hard in preparation for the Virginia battle Satur day. For they know and probably rightly so that a bowl bid will be de pendent upon a win over the strong Cavaliers. Both Carl Snavely and the squad know that the game will be far from a pushover, for the Virginians are laying for the Tar Heels following their game last year, that saw Carolina turn back the Cavaliers when they were supposed to win. In fact, Hay Brown, the star Virginia back among others, informed us while riding back from the Navy game (he was coming back from the Penn skirmish) that they were pointing for the Tar Heels. That's indication enough that the Snavelymen will have to be on their toes to win and cinch a bowl bid. The other bowl open, the Cotton Bowl, will have Arkansas against some one, naturally. It has been said that the loser of Georgia-Georgia Tech will take the Cotton bid with the winner going to the Sugar Bowl, but the United Press said last night that Georgia would go to the Sugar or nowhere. That means that LSU would likely go to the Cotton classic in the event Tech upsets the Bulldogs. Tar Heels Hoping Justice Will Carry Them Into Bowl Raleigh, Nov. 27 (UP) The University of North Carolina's Tar Heels are hoping today that the extra bunker of coal their Choo Choo Charlie Justice was carrying last Saturday will carry them into the Sugar Bowl. Not only did the Choo Choo express look hot when it highballed through Duke's powerful forward wall but it carried along a surprise package. For the Asheville freshman looked hot where he was supposed to be weak. Until Saturday, Coach Carl Sna vely had used Justice only on offense. But the Carolina back who had been inserted when the script called for a break-away runner stuck on the field for a solid 45 minutes against the Blue Devils. He got the wind knocked out of his 165-pound body twice but never left the game because of it. Carolina's pass defense limited Duke's George Clark and Bob Hart ley to one completion in eight tries. And a pass defense of that calibre just hadn't been in the books for Carolina. ' To top that, Carolina displayed a passing offense that could have come from the pages of fiction. The Tar Heels netted 305 yards and Justice Sports Festival Scheduled For Tonight Gridders Back At Hard Work For Final Tilt Drill for Weekend Game with Virginia Back to hard work after their lay off Monday, Carolina gridders moved into their final week of regular prac tice yesterday in preparation for their weekend clash with Virginia's hot- and-cold Cavaliers. Most of the session was spent in: running ground plays with tailbacks Billy Myers and Bill Maceyko doing most of the ball-toting. Less time was spent on the two phases offensive and def ensive of passing maneuvers than at any previous drill for several weeks. Coach Carl Snavely expressed satis faction with the team's showing in the two respects. On offense the Tar Heels completed seven aerials for a total gain of 159 yards while on defense they permitted only one completion out of eight tosses for a five-yard gain and intercepted two other passes. Weiner Ready Physically, the team appeared in top condition, with all players having come through the Duke Tussle unin jured. End Art Weiner, who missed Saturday's game with a twisted knee, looked in good shape yesterday and will probably see action this week. Saturday's clash will be the 51st meeting between the two colleges with Virginia seeking to even up the series. Carolina leads at present by 24 to 23, with three contests having ended in a deadlock. Both teams have one mu tual opponent this season VPI and both tied the Gobblers on successive weekends, the Tar Heels at 14-14 and the Cavaliers at 21-21. Among the Virginia backs is one that played with Carolina while in the Navy, George Grimes. The Cavaliers operate from the "T" formation with an impressive group of backfield stars handling the running and passing assignments. MP;.-,.. -I Ernie Williamson, above, is one of the strongest members of the Tar Heel forward wall that held Duke so well last Saturday. Williamson, a freshman, was injured and missed a couple of games about mid-season, but the giant tackle is back into the thick of things now and shows great promise for the last game and next season. accounted for 221 of that total 122 yards by passing. While they're smacking their lips over the vanquishing of the Blue Devil3 it's no secret around the Tar Heels home ground of Chapel Hill that they would like to meet Georgia in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day. However, standing against them on the record sheet is their 14 to 20 loss to Tennessee and the 14 to 14 tie with Virginia Tech. NICK'S DRY CLEANERS 416 W.

Dillon, an AH-American letterman from last year, suffered a badly sprain ed ankle last week in practice and has had to work light most of the time since. In the event he can't start the game, Sherman Nearman, a freshman from West Virginia, will likely get the call at center. The remainder of the starting line up is still questionable, but Bob Pax ton and Jim White, starters left over from last year in addition to Dillon, seems sure bets to be in the lineup. The others will come from Jim Hay worth, Dick Hartley, Taylor Thorne, Jim Thompson and Jim Hamilton. Hamilton, another newcomer, has been looking good in early drills, but he is suffering from a bruised heel and may miss action. Carolina, under the direction of Coach Tom Scott, will play two more home games before Christmas after the Cherry Point tussle, with Catawba and High Point. The Phants go to Chicago for games with Northwestern and DePaul during the holidays, and play their first game back here Janu ary 4 with Maryland.
