Coach Carl Snavely offered words of encouragement to his beaten charges. "We played a good team and got beat," the mentor said." VOur team hasn't reached its peak of development yet." -" Speaking of Carolina's offense; he said, "The passing game began to function at the end but it was not enough. It's some encourage ment for the future though." GOOD PUNTERS " The Carolina, football team sports a host of good kickers this season. Bud Wallace, Southern Conference leader last year, Dick Lackey, Billy Williams, Ernie Li berate Dick Starner and Sonny Ridenhour give the Tar Heels class in the punting department. (.:,;. . . . .

Strong UNC Is No Avail As Backs By BILL PEACOCK A fine Carolina line saw its work undone yestrday by a helpless pass defense which allowed the Georgia Bulldogs to score three of their four touchdowns on passes in the second half and win the football game, 28-16. The Tar Heels, before a crowd of 40,000 in Kenan Stadium, blew three chances to score in the first, half and then blew the "game in the second half as Georgia Quarterback Zeke Bratowski tossed three touchdown passes. Had Them All The Way Zip Morocco "It could have been a-'differ- ent story," said Coach Wally Butts of the Georgia Bulldogs. "If we had had our boys on de fense that were injured we might have held them a little better than we didMf either team had opened up on their passing a little soon er, I don't know what would have happened. Both teams had a fine passing attack, but there was some poor quarterbacking as far as both teams were concerned." The general opinion .of the whole Georgia squad was that they had the Tar Heels all the way. Star back Zippy Morroco said, "I felt good the whole team felt good.' I knew we had em, even during; the first half when; they had us way back there. We just couldn't play the wide open football we like to play I knew we would open up.""' V "Carolina ? quit in the second half" was the opinion of Butts, Morroco, and Dick Raber, Bull dog fullback. "They were way up for the game in the first half' "But they just didn't have it for that second half. We had to win; most of the squad were seniors and it was their last chance to beat Carolina."
