" v Tar Heel trio Charlie' Justice, Art Weiner and Ken Powell were easily three of the leading stars of the Southern victory. Justice; performing mainly m a defensive nature, kept the South out of trouble in the first half with many a jarring tackle and three , booming punts that set the Northerners back near their goal line. A Justice-to Weiner pass started the first, Rebel threat of the day.

He also got the biggest play , in Jacksonville newspapers. Ken ny. Powell was also well received. Colorful pre-game and half- time band gyrations were the- j most sight-satisfying : : of , the features that made this new and novel bowl venture a successful affair. Three high school musical units and a girls', precisions marching corps took part. Of the North Carolina fan contingent, not more than 50 were students. There were also a handful of Wake Forest stud ent rooters and an even smaller group of Duke supporters.

M lOOW Travis Tidwell Sparks Rally For Last Half Weiner Shines During Game, Catches Eight By Billy Carmichael III GATOR BOWL STADIUM, Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 7 Charlie Justice s Rebel foot ball team brought the North to its knees some 90 years too late here this afternoon as the Choo Choo and his Con federates conquered Doak Walker's so-called "North ern" entry 22-13 in the first annual Senior Bowl Game be fore some 20,000 sun-kissed fans. The Southerners, composed al most completely of players from the Southern and Southestern Conferences were supposed to be Art Honored Special to The Daily Tar Heel JACKSONVILLE. Fla. Jan. 7 Art Weiner of North Caro lina and Travis Tidwell of Au burn, both members of the victorious Rebel team in the first annual Senior Bowl, were voted most valuable lineman and back respectively, by the sports writers and radio an nouncers on hand for the game. Weiner, the All-America end from Newark. N. J caught eight passes for 139 .yards. All but one were thrown, incident ally, by Tidwell. Weiner took the other one from fellow Tar Heel Charlie Justice. "The Nose" didn't drop a one but caught some seemingly impos sible ones to set up TD's. Tidwell completed six other passes for a mark of 13 out of 19, amassing a grand total of 236 yard. He was the quarter back who masterminded the South's offensive from under the center on all but two of their offensive plays. Senior Bowl Lineups ... YANKEES Left end Owens (Oklahoma).

Yankee eleven. , Asked what he thought of Charlie Justice, Walker respond ed, "Words couldn't' say enough about how good a boy Charlie is." Hundreds of autograph hunters and fans of all ages and sexes J poured onto the field after the game in an effort to see and talk to some of the nation's greatest football players. Not even in the dressing rooms after the contest were the play ers entirely safe from the eager fans who milled about the sta dium until the last of the grid (See LOCKER, page. )4 somewhat overmatched against a squad drawn from the rest of the nation, and for the first half it looked as if the supposition were correct.

And it was the glory shared among more than one of the many stars on hand for the game, as 'the'' match' battle 'between North vi Carolina's Justice .and CMU's Walker never quite ma terialized. Justice, obviously suffering some effects from an ankle injury that pestered him throughuot the '49 season, didn't see much action offense for the South, but turned in moments of brilliance in a winning cause.
