"That's the first '1 fayd 00tball all year" commented Coach Crowell i fK n ?fSt time they as a team, he added. They held the Baby Deacs scoreless after the intermission and in a strong last quarter rally, tallied their first two touchdowns of the year. , Somebody Moved the Goal Line kjuu wAr.iNtbb came out in the closing minutes of the K1C i wee, iwice in the final three minutes, the Tar Babies were handed possession of the ball as WaV. Vnr f,,mKio then had a pass intercepted; and both times Carolina was unable to move the ball the 40 yards that would have tied up the game. Against Virginia and also against N. C. State, the Tar Rahies staged several drives from deep in their own territory only to have them slow down, sputter-once or twice, and stop when they got close enough to reach over and touch the promised land. The otmo- siticn would pull into what amounted to an 11-man line and just stood firm every time t the Carolina horde of - backs took turns knocking their collective head against a concrete wall. Lack of scoring punch was, and still is despite the 12-point spree against the Baby Deacs, the big problem for the Tar Babies and if we had the solution 'we could commandos big a salary as any of the top football mentors in the land. If it was merely a question of no material, that would end the discussion right, there, but fortunately for Carolina football prospects although not so for our logic the Tar Babies have more good, fast, tricky backs than they know what to do with. In fact, their last-quarter touchdown drive was sparked by Collier, Hill, who came , off ,the bench after Bill Albans was hurt and who probably wouldn't have had too much of a chance if Frank Wissman hadn't been hurt the week before. Any day on Navy Field you can see about 20 freshman " backs running plays and each 'man is almost as good as the others on the squad. Most of them have never run from the T formation however, and neither of the top quarterbacks has played under the center. Thats had several bad effects. He Called the Wrong Play THE QUARTERBACKING of the squad had been doubtful- to coy the least and in several instances has been pretty poor. This has been especially true around the goal line where the call has generally been for plunges right into the middle of the massed line rather than off-tackle or wide end rims. You?ve got to be pretty ood to power through a solid group of 11 men. The oppo sition has been bunched up in the middle for a reason, too. The Tai Babies' passing attack has been almost non-existent. Against State they attempted 17 and completed a grand total of three. They also gave the varsity an example to b6 used against Tennessee by having five intercepted. This has also been partly the result-of the T.-Steve Havran, whose loss to the team leaves them with, one quarterback, was a single wing man all through high school while Bill Ellington is a converted fullback. Ernest Liberati, who's played at halfback, will ree action under the center to fill the gap, but he's also played from the tailback position all his life. There's a great difference between passing frpm the T and passing from the single wing. In the T, the quarterback has to pivot, fake a hand-off, move back, turn and throw, while in the single wing he gets the ball, several yards back and has plenty of chance to look for a receiver. It Takes Practice TO CONVERT TO THE T takes a long time and lots of prac time and that's one thing the Tar Babies haven't had. In recruit ing boys to play at Carolina, the scouts pick single wing men almost exclusively and these men have had to learn a new style of play. That takes a great deal of work it took Sammy Baugh about two season's to really change over and the Tar Babies just haven't had a chance to practice together. Before the opening game of the season, they'd held exactly two workouts as a unit. They've been running opposition plays against the varsity all season, the main reason for using the T, and this week has given them one of the first real ehanoes they've had to work without too much fear of interruption. William and Mary runs from the single wing. So. Tuesday afternoon Coach Little lined the squads up to do a little scrimmaging and discovered he had a "line and a half which doesn't do anybody any 'good". Whoever heard of a. football team without a line? . . rrw rt pnm work has made itself felt in the missed signals, fumbles, pass interceptions, and all-around sloppy play of - ' u t. hPTn in developing from a bunch, of cood ballplayers into a team, and last Friday showed that they may " Wvehowne-potenUalities and a team with such outstandi w.ii... , real triple threat fullback who is on defend n.

Two Frosh Leave Team To Go Home Personal problems at home have prompted two leading mem bers of the freshman backfield to eave school and head home, but one of them, Frank Wissman, will probably be back as soon as his difficulties have been settled. Steve Havran, first string "quar terback for the Tar Babies, has probably returned home for. good to rejoin his wife and child in Olyphant, Pa. Havran, who is 25 years old, was repoorted. to be having some -difficulty, with his. studies. . .Wissman,. who hails from Phil adelphia missed last weeks game with. Wake Forest because of an injured leg muscle, went home to see his mother about some per sonal difficulty and is expected to return to school as soon as he is able. ' The loss- of .Havran means that the main quarterbackjng burden against Maryland tomorrow, after noon will fall to Bill Ellington. Ernest, Liberati, who has done worked under the center yester day as Ellington's relief. Wissman's absence means that the Tar Babies will have to go down three levels for their right halfback. Bill Albans was hurt seriously last week, but Collier Hill should fill in very well. Hill sparked Carolina to a last quart er rally against the Baby Deacs and scored the first touchdown of the year for the Tar Babies. . - Tar Heelers Prep For Perm State With half of their ten game schedule already completed, the Tar Heel and Toers take on their toughest opponent as they begin the remaining portion of the season. Come hell or high water, the Carolina booters should be fully prepared when they encounter Penn State at State College, Pennsylvania on Saturday morn ing. The only kind of weather the Tar Heels won't be prepared for is snow. " Coach Marvin Allen, aided by his co-captains Frank Nelson and Jess Greenbaum,' sent his charges through a two hour workout yes terday which ended with a short scrimmage. On Tuesday,-' the soc- cermen practiced for an hour in a driving rain which prevented the players from seeing from- one end of the field to the other. The Nittany- Lions are unde feated this year, and although the Tar Heels have improved consid erably in their last four games, the boys from Penn State will be a heavy favorite on Saturday. With Don Ahearn, Eddie Foy, and Dave Ferebee moving the ball toward the opponents goal, Coach Allen and his team could possbily return with their fifth victory. Penn State defeated the Navy booters 3 to 0 after the Middies had already trounced the boys from Chapel Hill 3 to 0. I. Y.

Tennessee game. Duke's Earon Named AP Lineman of Week NEW YORK, Nov. 2 A Northern lad who went South to play football is this week's Line man of the Week. Blaine Earon, Duke's sopho more end from Altoona, Pa., won top honors in the weekly Associ ated Press voting for his superb performance against Georgia Tech. He is one of the few sopho mores to gain the award in the six years since the Lineman of the Week recognition was started. Although not serious, Justice was held, out of the drills for the last three days in an effort to give him a full rest before Saturday. Tackles Julian King and Dalton Ruffin and Guard Joe Augustine were in light equipment, suffer ing from old injuries. All but Augustine are expected to be in fine fiddle by Saturday. . Fred Sherman was back on the injured list as he once more fell prey to a knee injury. He was hurt during yesterday's long scrimmage and was taken ofut of play. With Ed Washington and Billy O'Brien playing the part of Vito Rigazzo, pass snagging Indian end who has already caught 11 touch down passes this year, -the f Tar Heel defensive forces went through a long and spirited work out. The defenders looked good in stopping the majority of the Will iam and Mary plays run against them by. other Carolina men. While the defensive units were slipping and. sliding on one end of the watery Navy Field the of fensive contingent had its kicks at the other end. A backfield composed of Blocking Back Joe Kosinski, Wingback Bob Gantt, Tailback Bud Carson, and alter nating fullback Dick Wiess and Billy Hayes spent considerable time on running plays, with jjWiess and Carson looking very good on occasion. . Come Saturday, the Tar Heels will 'be out to try and stop the antics of Rigazzo and Buddy. Lex who have been running around like they know what to do with a football. Beside that pair, : the Tar Heels will be. watching big Jack Cloud, the hard . plunging fullback who put a crimp in the Tar Heels' game last year. Injuns Prep WILLIAMSBURG, Va.. Nov. 2-(AP) The William and Mary Indians today spent a long practice session working en tirely on defenses designed io stop North Carolina's running and passing. Sophomore backs Tom Mart in, Ed Weber and Don Howren looked especially good, as the Indians worried over the Tar Heel plays. All of the squad was in un iform today except Senior End Colin Davis.

Every loss to date has been in close games which could have gone the other way had there been a little more efficiency in the scoring zone. The visitors will be depending greatly on the services of Gus Varkaris who could make the dif ference in the front line for Car olina. However, his duty will be limited due to a recent illness.
