from the
Showers
BY DICK BURROUGHS
IT OCCURS TO ME . . .
THAT the Yankees are making their usual run away from
the rest. of the American League and that by seasons end, their
margin of victory will be at least ten games . . . THAT it's be
coming awfully boring to continually read of the proposed shifts
' of the Dodgers and Giants to the West Coast. I wish they would
decide, one way or the other . . . THAT the Milwaukee Braves
must have even more bench strength then the Yankees. They
are still on top and have reached that spot without many key
players . . . THAT Red Schoendienst is making the Braves look
awfully good on their early season trade with the Giants. He is
batting way over the .300 mark and fielding with his usual
brilliance . . . THAT the Washington Senators have the worst
team ever. Already they are 30 games out of first place.
THAT Floyd Patterson has become quite cocky since win
ning the Heavyweight title. He even runs his own training camp,
something rather unique in the boxing world. He speaks of
wishing that he could fight Rocky instead of Hurricane. It wasn't
long ago that he was just a quiet, humble challenger.
THAT the United States has a good chance of winning back
the Davis Cup from the Australians now that Lew Hoad has
turned pro . . . THAT Jack Kramer made a mistake by putting
Lew Hoad into the pro round-robins before cashing in on the
Austrailian's gate appeal on tour . . . THAT Tony Trabert's
name, so quickly forgotten, may once more be on the lips of
tennis fans around the country following his TV conquest of
Hoad.
THAT Jim Jones is getting a lot of publicity considering he
has never played end for Carolina before. Of course he was an
All-ACC choice at guard last season . . . THAT Dave Leff ler is
seldom spoken of around football circles despite the fact that he
scored twice in the Blue-White Game last spring ... THAT
Charlie Justice has faded from the national limelight despte
die-hard Carolina alumni who refuse to forget Choo-Choo . . .
THAT Carolina may not have it so easy with Maryland this
year. The Terps return 28 lettermen to the gririron Sept. 1 . . .
THAT the football team may have a better chance for a bowl
bid now that all ties have been severed with the Orange Bowl.
A winning season could put them in one of the other bowls even
if they are not the ACC champs.
DID YOU KNOW . .
THAT Carolina plays four of the top ten teams in the nation
as rated by "Street and Smith's 1957 Football Yearbook" . . .
THAT the ten teams the Tar Heels face this season won a total
of 53 games while losing 36 and tying 10 last year . . . THAT
halfback Dan Droze scored seven touchdowns in one game while
playing high school ball in Washington, D. C. . .'. THAT quarter
back Dave Reed can throw a football 35 yards, left-handed . . .
THAT guard Jack Lineberger never reads the sports pages and
detest having the scribes write anything about him,
THAT Tommy Kearns was the most valuable player in
three different basketball tournaments during his high school
days. Could be he'll win similar honors before he leaves Chapel
Hill.

A Payne T Grid O
Buddy Payne, a rising senior
from Norfolk, Va., who co
captains the 1957 edition of the
Tar Heel football team is spend
ing his summer here in Chapel
Hill.
Payne has been a starter since
his sophomore year and last sea
son was the team's second lead
ing pass receiver with si catches
for 116 yards. Buddy was chosen
to the All-North Carolina team
last year and a great deal more is
expected of the 6-3, 210 pounder
this coming season.
Buddy is an English major but
has been taking subjects that will
qualify him for' entrance into
Medical School. The courses this
summer merely lighten the load
for his senior year.
A member of the Summer
School Student Government,
Payne has helped plan many of
the activities around campus for
the summer as well as things for
the fall. During the regular ses
sions, Buddy acts as the Vice
President for the Monogram Club
and throws the javelin for the
track team in addition to his
gridiron feats.
While a Senior at Maury High
School in Norfolk, this three
sport All-Stater was one of the
most sought-after school-boys in
the south.
He chose Carolina over a host
of other schools including Notre
Dame and arch-rival Duke
because of its big college atom
sphere in the' midst of a small
college town which centered its
activities around the school.
Marvin Bass, former UNC coach
who is now at South Carolina, was
a major influence on Buddy's
choice also, and Payne has never
pponenis
regretted the choice he has made
yet.
Buddy, a loyal Sigma Chi, looks
towards the approaching season 4
with a great deal of enthusiasm ,
and has hopes of a winning sea
son after spending his entire'
career at UNC with losing ball
clubs.
Buddy Payne has the finesse of
all great ends, a marvelous,
physique and all the other at
tributes for this position. Besides ,
the qualifications of a truly great
end, Buddy has the qualities of
leadership and spirit which ac
company all good guys as well
as good footballers.

From Gridiron To Student Government
Orange Sours On ACC -New
Year's Pact Canceled
The Orange Bowl Committee
has voted to terminate all ties
with the Atlantic Coast Con
ference following the 1958 New
Year's Day game.
Under a five-year arrangement,
ACC and Big Eight teams have
clashed each New Year's Day in
the Orange Bowl. The bowl com
mittee voted to use Big Eight
teams in 1959, 1960 and 1961.
Joe Adams, committee .pres
ident, who announced the com
mittee's unanimous vote of 41
members attending, said the Big
Eight conference had agreed to
waive its rule that a Big Eight
champion can't play in two suc
cessive bowl games.
The cpneession made it likeiy
that the Big Eight's powerful
Oklahoma champions will face
the ACC choice in the Orange
Bowl in 1958 and return the fol
lowing New Year's Day for the
Orange Bowl's siiver anniversary
game.
Chuch Eriqkson, athletic di
rector at UNC, when informed of
the bowl committee's decision,
said "our relations with the com
mittee and the Big Eight have
been pleasant. If our conference
does not enter into another tieup,
we'll look forward to having a
team worthy of playing in the
Orange Bowl."
Jim's Charm
Wins Hollers
A much sought after school-boy
from Durham has been induced
by Sunny Jim Tatum to play col
lege football.
Russ Hollers, a remarkable
youngster from Durham High
School where he was a three
sport man, straight -A student,
president of the student body,
best male athlete and governor
of Boy's State, has cast his lot
with UNC.
It was not the problem of get
ting Hollers to come to Carolina
that worried Tatum but rather
the problem of getting him to
participate in football. Russ, re
cipient of a Morehead Scholar
ship, was thinking only of play
ing basketball, and baseball in
his freshman year, but after Big
Jim turned on the charm, it was
decided that the 5-11, 190-pound-er
would play three sports in
stead of two.
Tatum pointed out t h a t he
will use Hollers at the quarter
back slot, a position that he has
played off and on as a schoolboy,
although used essentially as a
halfback while gaining All-State
honors.
Tatum, who has high hopes
for the 18-year-old athlete, re
marked, "I have never seen a boy
who looks more like a football
player, both on and off the
field." Hollers is considered to be
one of Durham's all-time greats.
