Texas Calling
AUSTIN, Tex. The Eyes of Texas will be on the 300-foot Tow
er of the Main Building Saturday night, looking for the soft glow
of the Orange Lights which will signify another Longhorn victory
this time, over the North Carolfna Tar Heels. The tradition of
the Orange Lights, turned on for each major victory by Texas
athletic teams, is one of the first things freshmen learn on the
Forty Acres.
No one is quite sure when or why the Orange Lights were first
turned ' on,-but it is generally agreed that they first burned
Thanksgiving Day, 1938, after the Longhorns beat their arch
rivals, the Texas Aggies, to preserve another hallowed Texas tra
dition no Aggie football team wins in Memorial Stadium. The
victory over the Aggies, led by all-Americans Dick Todd and Joe
Routt, was the only game the Steers won that year, and it was
a fitting time to start a great tradition.
The Orange Lights custom grew, and now the lights are turned
on after each Texas victory in football and basketball, and after
teams in other sports win Conference or national championships.
Nothing is quite so satisfying to Texas fans as the spine-tingling
beauty of the Orange Lights during the football season, and noth
ing seems quite so pitiless as the stark coldness of white light on
the Tower after the Longhorns have lost.
The leading prospect to short circuit the Orange Lights this
year, as far as the Texas coaching staff is concerned, is Carl
Snavely's power-packed North Carolina team. Charlie Justice,
Walt Pupa, and other talent on the Tar Heel squad, are highly
respected in Texas, and, if Blair Cherry's Model T gets wrecked,
Saturday may well be the day. However, the Steers will probably
be at their peak for the North Carolina game. Cherry started
drilling for. the Tar Heels when he stepped up to the head coaching
position in spring training, and the slogan of fall training has
been "get ready for the Tar Heels."
Model T Touchdowns
Running from the T formation for the first time,, the Steers did
not show too much against Texas Tech and Oregon, but they
did not have to. They struck for three quick touchdowns in the
first quarter and coasted to a 33-0 victory over Tech. Last week,
Layne's passes clicked for three touchdowns early in the second
quarter,, and the Longhorns breezed by Oregon, 38-13. But the
North Carolina game will call for sixty minutes of all-out effort,
and the Longhorns hope to be prepared.
The Longhorn T attack is directed by top-passer Bobby. Layne,
an all-Conference tailback from
the past three years. Layne has surprised even-the most optimis
tic fans with his great performance this year, and has been even
better from the T than from the single wing. Texas's prime choice
for all American honors this year, Layne has completed 11 of 1?
pass attempts for 217 yards and
games this year. He scored one touchdown against Tech on a
quarterback sneak and has kicked six extra points.
Longhorn fans expect good passing from Layne, but they have
been pleasantly surprised by the ground game Cherry has de
veloped this year. A host of speedy backs, including two South
west Conference 100-yard dash champions, and several hard
charging line-plungers, give Texas its best running attack in
years. -
The real find of the year is little Byron Puppy) Gillory. A
146-pound junior, Gillory has two varsity letters, but he was
never particularly outstanding until this fall. He did not figure
in Cherry's plans in spring training, but Gillory took to the T like
it was tailor-made for him, and he is already being' compared to
Jack Crain, probably the greatest running back in Texas history.
Gillory's speed and elusiveness have carried him 167 yards in
10 tries from scrimmage, tops for Longhorn backs, and his four
touchdowns lead Texas scorers. As good as he is, Gillory has to
share the left halfback post with another 'speedy runner, Billy
Pyle, a 165-pound sophomore. Pyle, not quite so deceptive as Gil
lory, runs harder and, for all his lack of size, is one of the besti
defensive backs on the squad.
Unique Feature
The Texas team has one unique feature three tackles are in
the line-up on defense. Dick Harris drops back behind the line,
and George Petrovich comes in at left tackle. Harris, a 212-pound
junior, was an all-Conference center in 1945 and 1946, but Cherry
moved him to tackle this year to strengthen a position which has
caused the downfall of several otherwise good Longhorn teams.
Harris has no equal as a line-backer in the Southwest Conference,
and he is so consistently good that Texas fans take his outstanding
perforrharies: as a matter of course. - ?
When the Longhorns kick off, Charlie Tatom, a converted end,
checks in at the other tackle post. At 206 pounds, Tatom is tagged
"the fastest tackle in the country." He was a member of the Texas
track team's undefeated 440-yard sprint relay team in the spring,
and he is the first man down the field on kickoffs.
To stop the Tar Heels, Texas will field a line that averages 205
pounds, and a fast, hard-charging backfield that averages 183.5
pounds.
And, when darkness falls, Texas supporters will look up at the
Tower, hoping to see it bathed in Orange light.

Carolina Booters
Working for Opener
Intra-squad scrimmages were
the order of the day for Coach
Marvin Allen's soccer squad
yesterday afternoon as he con
tinued his efforts to whip the
booters into shape for their
opening tilt with Loyola Uni
versity on October 17 in Balti
more. The squad now numbers over
sixty candidates but the mem
bers' heavy lab schedule have
kept the daily turnouts down
to around forty men. Regulation
size goals have been erected at
each end of Fetzer Field, which
has been taken over by the
Allenmen for their workouts.
Two goals have also been placed
along each sideline and are
used for cross field scrimmages.
Coach Allen had little definite
to say about the season's pros
pects when queried, but he did
comment, "The men are all
working very hard and are dis
playing a lot of interest. How
ever, I still don't know how
good they'll be."
Allen did mention that among
the first-year men, Joe Bach,
Hank Pallulat, Bob Plumb, Bill
Moore, G. T. Williams, Al
Moore, Jesse Greenbaum, and
ave Boak have all been stand
outs in practice this season and
will probably see plenty of ac

Cross country workouts are
scheduled for .11 o'clock Sat

The coaching staff is hoping
that a good turnout will be on

Brooklyn, "N. Y., Oct. 2
(UP) Exploding for six runs
in the second inning at the ex
pense of Bobo Newsom and Vic
Raschi, the Brooklyn Dodgers
added another in the third and
two more in the fourth to out
last the New York Yankees, 9-
8, in a marathon contest at Eb
bets Field that had 33,000 fans
on the edge of their seats until
the final out.
Fireman Hugh Casey was the
Dodgers hero as he silenced the
booming bats of the New York
ers during the last three innings
by his sterling relief job. Casey
had replaced Ralph Branca in
1 he seventh inning with none
out right after Yogi Berra had
hit the first pinch-hit home run
in Series history. Newsom was
charged with the Yankee loss.
The Dodgers opened the scor
ing in the 26 hit slugfest when
they bunched six hits, a walk,
and a passed ball to tally six
runs off Newsom and his rather
ineffective reliever, rookie Vic
Raschi. A pass by Newsom to
Iermanski, Edwards run-producing
double, Reese's single on
which Edwards scored, Hatten's
single, a passed ball by Sherman
Lollar advancing both runners,
and Eddie. Stanky's two-run
double meant four Dodger runs
and Newsoni's exit.
Jackie Robinson promptly
greeted Newsom's successor,
Raschi, with a single on which
Stanky moved to third, and then
both runners tallied on Carl
Furillo's tremendous double off
the scoreboard in right field.
Raschi finally retired the Dodg
ers when he got Dixie Walker
to make his second out of the
frame on a grounder to Stirn
weiss. The Yanks put together Lol
Inr's single, pinch-hitter Al
Clark's pass, Johnny Lindell's
single, and Joe DiMaggio's sin
gle in the third to close the gap
to 6-2.
They added two more in the
fourth but the Bums came back
in their half, of the same inning
to serve twice and run the score
to 8-4. Joe DiMaggio then
brought the Yankees ; up . to
within two runs of the winners
in the top of the fifth when he

Jayvee Footballers
Hold Hard Session
The jayvee footballers were
sent through their most stre
nous session up to date, yester
day afternoon, in preparation
for their opening game with the
South Carolina Bantamcocks
next Friday afternoon at Colum
bia. Coach Crowell Little had
been negotiating for a contest
for this weekend but plans fell
through and a heavy scrimmage
session is on tap for this after
noon. Little told the 55 candidates,
many of them varsity men who
did not make the trip, that he
expects the scrimmage to show
good results.
Yesterdays drill was devoted
to the learning of plays and
getting precision into their play.
The genial jayvee mentor
said, "My team is rounding into
shape very rapidly and I expect
them to be more than ready for
their opening game.

Tar Heel Football Squad
Flies To Austin Today
By Morty Schaap "
A Carolina football contingent some 40 strong, led by CoacK
Carl Snavely, will depart by air for Austin, Texas, this morning.
This will mark the longest jaunt ever taken by a Tar Heel foot
ball squad and the first ever made by air.
The contest between the me.il
of Snavely and the Texas Long
horns is the first meeting of
these clubs, and the lads from
the Southwest have been in
stalled as slight favorites.
Coach Blair Cherry, in his
first year as head coach at the
Texas institution, has rolled ov
er two foes, Texas Tech and
Oregon, in the club's first two
games of the season.
The orange and white are
playing from the T-formation,
which will be no novelty to the
Tar Heels as the Georgia clu-o
which they whipped last Sat
urday also operated from that
same maneuver. However, the
lads from Austin are sparked
by All-American Bobby Layne
who is one of the country's lead
ing passers. Last week in the
battle against Oregon he com
pleted seven out of eleven air
strikes.
Practice in Texas
The Tar Heels will make their
headquarters at the Hotel Gen
eral Eustin 'upon their arrival
this afternoon. The trip is being
made in Capitol airlines 'DC-1.
They expect to work out in the
huge Texas stadium late today.
Yesterday afternoon Coach
Snavely sent his charges through
a light drill and pronounced
everyone in good shape except
co-captain Joe Wright, who is
still suffering from after effects
of a penicillin shot last week.
He is listed as a doubtful start
er. The line, however, will be bol
stered by the return of BiU
(Earthquake) Smith from Lex
ington, who has missed the last
three weeks of practice due to
a broken foot. This big boy will
be used to relieve Haywood
Fowle at tackle.
