TONIGHT TOM SCOTT and his new edition of the Carolina
White Phantoms basketball team will launch the 1946-47 cam
paign against the Cherry Point Marines and with a tough assign
ment ahead of them for the next two and a half months in the form
of a schedule that includes such powerhouses as Northwestern, De
Paul, NYU and all the Southern conference clubs.
Scott. and his Tar Heel five have a great reputation to live up to after
the sensational reeords turned in by the Phantom quints of the past two
years, and theirs this year is doubly hard task what with all the teams over
the country being strengthened with the addition of all the returning GI's.
"Everybody will be. tough this year," opined Scott. "Football hasn't seen
anything compared to the upsets that are in store in basketball this season.
We have been gradually improving since we began practice, but we don't
know yet how good we will have to be in order to stack up against the other
teams we face."
Speaking of his Ail-American Johnny Dillon, Scott pointed out that "they
will be all out for him this year. He will have to be good," the new Phantom
mentor said, "but I think he will be better than last year, an improved ball
player all around,"
We lost some good boys in Ail-American Jim Jordan, Bones McKinney
and Don Anderson," chattered Scott. "We would probably be a lot better
off if we had Jordan and McKinney back with us, but competition will be
much hotter. We have a swell gang out this year, and some good newcomers
in Jim Hamilton, Sherman Nearman, Norman Kohler and several others."
"This year we are going to have to stress defense a lot more than last
season," continued Scott. "We don't have as many good shots as they had last
year, and we have to supplement this with defense."
In conclusion, genial Scott said that "This year will be the greatest season
basketball has ever seen, and the winner this year will really be a good
team."
It's a big order for Coach Scott, Coach Mullis, and the Phants, but here's
one wish of good luck as they get things going tonight. We are sure the stu
dent body will give them the same support they got last year and more, and
with a few breaks you might see the Tar Heels back in the National tourney
come next March. Stranger things have happened, haven't they?
We want to dedicate the next few lines to a valiant Tar Heel football
player Chandos Highsmith, a true All-Southern center and in our books
All-American material.
Last Saturday Chan was filling his usual valuable shoes as the No. 1 pivot
man for the Tar Heels as they hurdled the last obstacle standing between them
and a Sugar Bowl bid, and about midway in the second period he suffered
two broken vertabrae while making a vicious tackle. He now is resting in
the Virginia University hospital, and will be brought back to Chapel Hll
shortly. His football is completed for this year, but the tough center is ex
pected to be back for next season. . .The Tar Heels will miss him when they
line-up against Georgia, but our guess is that hell be close by cheering his
boys to victory.
Back-talk from Georgia-Georgia Tech:
From the observation of the Carolina fans who saw Charley Trippi and
his gang of Bulldogs trounce Tech last weekend, the Tar Heels can beat
Georgia. Meaning by that the Carolina gridders have a splendid chance of
upsetting the vaunted T formation and single wing combine of Wally isutts
in the Sugar Bowl encounter January 1.
Tech just didn't show the powerful offensive as they were expected to, ac
cording to reports. And Georgia did, displaying the kind of power with Mr.
Trippi at the helm that has carried them through an undefeated and un
tied season. Johnny Rauch, Georgia blocking back, ranks as one of the best
in the south judging from the performance last weekend at Athens, and the
Eulldog flankmen who gather in the Trippi passes (15 out of 19 against
Tech) are about the best coming.
Carolina should have a decided punting average over Georgia, says one
observer, for in Justice the Tar Heels have a man who has averaged better
than 40 yards per kick, while the punting of Trippi is decidedly his weakest
point. Comparing the two players, Justice is adjudged the better runner, at
least the more elusive, while Trippi gets the nod in the pitching department.
Charley of Georgia has a habit of running over the opposition rather than
around, and when he throws a pass it is very likely to hit the mark.
The United Press rates Georgia 14-point favorites, and reports say that
la Athens they are giving as much as 20 points and the Tar Heels. These odds
seem a little strange to followers of Justice and the Carolina eleven, but it's
their money!
