North Carolina plays a football game this afternoon,
but from the number of students who turned out for the
pep rally Thursday night, you would be led to believe
-that only 200 studenls out 6f 14 thousand know about
Kit. -
A lot of people were willing to smile and say the
damp weather was the cause of the small turn out.
Coach Bill Dooley even grinned and attributed the
small crowd to the bad weather.
i But, the pep rally was held on Franklin Street, and it
happens to be paved. What's more, the parade route up
;town was on nothing but paved streets, and while it
may have been damp, it wasn't raining and there
wasn't a sound reason for more students not turning
iout.
t- All week long we've been encouraged to "Keep The
; Faith" by the cheerleaders. Student body president Bob
' Travis proclaimed this "Keep The Faith" week.
Why then was there such a small turnout at the pep
" rally Thursday night?
It all boils down to the fact that the Tar Heels have
J lost their first two games of the season and nine in a
row over the last two years. The point is nobody likes,
or supports, a loser.
Bob Orr, president of the Carolina Athletic associa
tion, made an important point to the crowd at the pep
rally. "Notre Dame is the number one team in the na
tion according to the experts. But who's the number one
team in Chapel Hill? My number one team and your
number one team-Carolina."
TRUER WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN.
North Carolina should be the number one team in the
heart of every Carolina student, and he should be proud
enough to show it.
The Tar Heels have had three winning seasons in the
last 17 years. In 1963, Carolina was one and one going
into its third game and went on to finish 9-2, winning
the Gator Bowl in the process. Student support that
year was at its height, and the cheerleaders never had
any trouble filling old Emerson Field for a pep rally
before a game. v
The other two winning seasons were in 1957 and 1958.
Both of those teams finished with 6-4 records, In fact,
the 1958 team lost its first two games of the season
before defeating Southern California 8-7 in its third
game. It then went on to win six in a row before losing
the final two games to Notre Dame and Duke.
- Student support that year, according to an old grad,
was tremendous, and the team knew the students were
behind them all the way.
Coach Dooley made a very appropriate statement at
the pep rally. "We play with 11 men on the field at a
time, but if you students get behind us and support us
on Saturday, we'll be playing with 12 men on the field
and that will give us an extra man and a definite ad
vantage." The University ticket office has reserved a little
over 14 thousand seats for students today. So, I assume
that you, the student body, do plan tt attend the
game.
But, how many of you are going to cheer and support
the team?
I would like to think that all of you will. You cer
tainly supported the basketball team last year, even
when it lost. Of course they dent on to have a successful
season. In nine short weeks, you will have the chance to
support them again, but between now and then, the
football team has eight more games to play, five ol
them at home.
Just as all good things must come to an end, so must
all bad things. The football team has all the potential
and ability to win and could easily get a winning streak
started this afternoon. But,, there's one thing the
players need -that they can't provide iv? themselves
that's your support.
So, let's all cheer, until we have hoarse voices this
afternoon, and then let's sneak a little drink and cheer
some more. Let's show the Tar Heels that they are the
number one team in all our hearts.
Let's "KEEP THE FAITH."

Wisdom Ngambi and ' Louis
Bush each scored two goals to
lead the UNC soccer , team to
an easy 6-1 win over St.
Andrews in the season opener
here yesterday. v
The outcome,' was never in
doubt as the Tar Heels scored
one goal in the first; second
and fourth periods, and ram
med home three quick ones in
the .third.
Jamie Oamfield 'and Marc
Rush were the other goal
scorers for UNC, while Randy
Wilford got the St. Andrews'
tally.
Bush broke the ice at 6:05 of
the opening period when he
scored from the left of the
goal, and Ngambi made it 2-0
j
at 11:20 of the second. The Tar
Heels poured 22 shots on St.
Andrews goalie Craig Hannas
but could manage no more
than the two goals. Mark
Packard, Ngambi and Larry
Heath all had excellent scoring
opportunities, only to be turned
back by Hannas.
The game was put out of
reach on the three quick goals
in the third period. Ngambi
bounced one past Hannas at
the one-minute mark, Bush
scored at 2:20 and Canfield
made it 5-0 at 4:05.
Marc Rush ran the score to
6-0 before Wilford scored for
the visitors with 1:15 re
maining in the game.
For the Tar Heels, it was
somewhat of a warmup con
test, but- certainly
demonstrated the team's
overall speed and finesse. Bush
and goalie Peter Gallaudet
(who was lifted after the third
quarter), both appeared to be
as good as their fine freshman
seasons indicated. Bush drib-'
bled circles around the . op
position. Gallaudet was called
on to -make only one save in his
three periods, but his kicking
and passing were excellent.
Every member of the
(starting lineup played well,
Heath, Packard, Ngambi and
Jim Crane at the forwards,
Bush, Geoff Perry and Can
field at the halves, and" Jimmy
Johnson, "Bill Merrill, John
Gussenhoven at the fullbacks.
Res-erf es Rick Dafis, Rob
Moyer and Chris Carter were
also inoteWrothy.
Perry's performance - was
surprising in that he has been
sick for three days. Davis was
the game's only casualty when
he twisted his ankle, but
fortunately will be all right.
The team's peirmiance
overall was strong, but
l
. A.
LOUIS BUSH
Gallaudet calls it "a team ot
the moment, because we are
brilliant only when we need to
be. With the defense I have in
front of me I didn't have to do
a .whole lot, but we mabe be
able to do well anytime when
the pressure's on."
