FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1951 PAGE SIX THE DAILY TAR HEEL. . ; : : : ,.- - - . - 7 - . - " " ' - " ' W imam's o Carolina is Underdog By 6 Points The Carolina football team, which can use all the help it can get, received a blow yesterday when it was learned that first string Tailback Billy Williams will not be able to play in the Virginia game Saturday. Williams and Tackle Bill Kuhn, who was previously thought to be out for the game, will not make the trip. Wililams injured his knee in practice early this... week. Kuhn was hurt against Wake Forest and may not be able to play for the remainder of the season. Backs John Gaylord, Chal Port and George Foti have been out with minor injuries but shojuld see action against the Cavaliers. Virginia has been installed as a 6-point favorite over the Tar Heels. The Cavaliers have a sur prising 5-1 record for the season and hold decisive wins over George Washington, VPI, VMI, Duke and The Citadel, all by 20 points or better. The only defeat was a stunning 42-14 setback at the hands of Washington and Lee. Running from the split-T Coach Art Guepe's charges are way up for this game, hoping to make it two in a row over the-Tar Heels. Last year the boys in Orange and Blue routed Carolina by a 44-13 score in a game that resembled' this year's Wake Forest contest. Leading the Virginia offense will be Quarterback Rufus Bark ley. A senior from Charles, S. C, Barkley broke into the starting lineup last year and proved him self a fine field general and pass er. The 167-pounder played his finest game against Carolina last year when he completed 10 of 17 passes for 166 yards and 3 touch downs. The quarterback slot could easily fall to Mel Roach of Roan oke. Roach was such a surprise to the Virginia coaching staff that he wasn't even listed in the foot ball brochure. He is one of the reasons that the Cavaliers have done well this season. He has scored once himself, and kicked 15 extra ponts to be tied for third in individual scoring honors. Roach has. supplied the spark that makes . the Virginia running at tack work. At the halfback positions the Cavaliers will start two scat backs; Jimmy Ashwell, a 170 pound speedster from Herndon, Va., and Gordon Grander, a 165 pound flash from Charlottesvile. Ashwell is tied for the team's leading scorer with 24 points. He has 16G -yards rushing for a 4.3 yards per try average. Granger is averaging 4.6 yards per trip. Two other fine backs for the Cavaliers are Harold Hoak, tied for the leading scorer, and. Bobby Pate who is averaging 4.4 yards a carry. The big surprise" of the team has been Fullback Jerry Furst.

CENTER ANDY MIKETA, a senior from Baden, Pa., has been one of the bright spots in the Carolina offensive line. The 192 pound pivot man has been a real hustler and has won high praise from the coaching staff for his aggressive play. Duke Tickets Go On Sale Monday On Monday, Tuesday, and Wed nesday.

Sorvico Sfcjti:!- Opposito Bus Station Tennis Team Plays Virginia Vith Four Frosh On Team Carolina's tennis team will play its -first match of the year this afternoon at Virginia, with four freshmen in the six singles posi tions. Five of , the six have never played tennis in, intercollegiate competition. The Tar. Heel raquetmen lost their Number One man in both singles and doubles when Del Sil via pulled a muscle in his leg while wrestling. Freshman Sam my Handle will be in the number one spot today in Silvia's place, in singles and doubles. Handle, a Philadelphian, is a Navy veteran and has considerable touranment experience. Freshmen will also be in the second and third positions in sin gles. Herb Browne, who will be playing on the same courts that he played on when he won the Schoolboy Championship, will be Carolina's Number Two man, and Bobby Payne, Virginia Schoolboy Champ from Tlichmond, is slated to play as Number Three. Browne, who is from Columbia, and Payne will be the Number One doubles team. ' Playing at four will be Bil,! Is- ler, a Junior and the only man on the squad with varsity experi ence. Ronnie Kadasha, another freshman, is the fifth man, and either Dick Sapp or Bill Thomp son will play six. Handle and Is ler will play second doubles, and Kadasha and Sapp, third. Tennis Coach John Kenfifcld expects to get a line on his team's performance in competition, but he doesn't expect to win 'the match. He hopes for the best though, and said "The boys want to win you just can't be overly optimistic with five of them inex perienced." The Cavaliers have an excell ent team, with most of last year's squad returning. Bill Young, the Virginia Number One man last I year, is back, and the Cavaliers are heavy favorites to beat Caro lina. This will be the first pre-season match the Tar Heels have sche duled with Virginia since before the war when the tennis team played the Cavaliers every Thanksgiving, just as the football team did. The matches were dis continued when the football games came too late in the win ter, and are being revived now that Virginia has been moved up on the grid schedule.
