SIX______ The Morning Watch WITH Edward Sachs The University of North Carolina’s football schedule looks like something you would dream up for your mother-in-law. Item_the Tar Heels play the University of Miami in Miami on October 4. Added to the fact that the Hurricanes won the Orange Bowl tilt this season and will be tough under tty conditions, the Hillers will be attempting to play football lB Miami during October. As anyone who has done time in the Florida city during the fall months can tell you, the only sport in which a rational person indulges is dunking in a bath tub full of ice cubes. Outside of a few North State Sports writers who will get away from their wives, the trip should be a very rugged occasion for one and all. Item—the Chapel Hill Pilgrims will meet Tennessee at Knox ville. The Vols are just about due for another of their good teams. Another rough trip. Item—Baltimore will have the chance to see the Snavely Herd meet Navy in what could be another Navy Day. After several years of just missing, the Middie machine may pick 1946 to click on all four and clean up. Well, Baltimore isn’t too bad a town in which to spend an evening. Item—Florida fires its coach, hires another and tells the world that it is going to have a good football team next year or else. You’ll never guess who the Tar Heels play on October 26. Item—Wake Forest and Duke will be the best teams in North Carolina football circles next year and there is no reason to doubt that Wallace Wade wants to return to the football wars with a bang or should I say a Bowl. Guess who the Tar Heels meet on successive Saturdays In November. Item—after several years of the worst university football teams in this region Virginia and Maryland both bobbed up with strong outfits last season. Each school has another good team in the servicp and after once tasting gridiron glory are not going to slip back. North Carolina meets both. The full story runs like this: Sept. 28, Vriglnia Tech, Chapel Hill; Oct. 4, Miami at Miami; Oct. 12, Maryland,, Chapel Hill; Oct. 19, Navy at Baltimore; Oct. 26, Florida at Chapel Hill; Nov. 2, Tennessee at Knoxville; Nov. 9, William and Mary at Norfolk; Nov. 16, Wake Forest at Chapel Hill; Nov. 23, Duke at Chapel Hill; Nov. 30, Virginia at Charlottes ville. Through the good graces of Jimmie Metts, this comer has been reading the program of the Sugar Bowl classic between St. Mary’s and Oklahoma A. & M. Jimmie attended the game and came back a fan of Herman Wedemeyer, tjie St. Mary’s star. Metts ranks Herman with Gilmer and other grid greats of the past few semesters. From the program one can see that the Aggies are really homegrown. All but four of the boys who made the trip to New Orleans were from Oklahoma cities. Of the four out-of-staters one was the son of an A. & M. grad and the other picked the school because of its climate. In other words the Aggies get the home-product and from the record, (Tulsa, Oklahoma U, and Oklahoma A. & M.) the home product Is pretty dam good. Understand# that Louis Orrell needed a short putt on the 18th green at the Cape Fear country club Saturday to nick old man par. He missed and took a one-over-par 73 which isn t to be sneezed at. Just received the Sporting News All-American baseball team for the past season and it makes very interesting reading. Look for it in the Thursday morning Star.______ ‘Cooper Worth 20 Wins To GiantsMel Ott By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK, Jan. 21—(JP)—Mel Ott, looking chipper as a colt though approaching his 21st cam paign as an active big leaguer^ faced a room bulging with the •press today and expressed the opinion that Walker Cooper, his new $175,000 catcher, might be worth an additional 15 or 20 vic tories to the New York Giants this season. The young man from Louisiana, who will not attain his 37th birth day until March and yet is invad ing the second generation as an — '■ --- outfield star, made it clear that —next to a couple of 20-game pitchers—he regarded Cooper as the finest thing that could have happened to the Polo Grounders. ‘‘A player like Cooper,” he said. “You’ve got to figure will be worth as much to us as Bill Dickey was to the Yankees. He not only can hit and catch, but he knows how to handle pitchers. He knows what’s going on. He can make a difference of 15 or 20 games in our pitching staff.” Ott, in addition to training some 80 players in the, Giants’ camp at Miami and taking on all the myriad headaches of a manager, intends to hold down right field again unless he comes up with someone who can play the posi tion better. The bad knee that gave him trouble last season has responded to rest, he said. While maintaining that he would have a sound defensive club and a nice array of hitters, Ott made no pretense that he was satisfied with his pitchers. He said he still hoped to get a couple of throwers from the St. Louis Cardinals, in cluding a good lefthander. “Maybe we will be able to talk to Sam Breadon at the meeting here next month,” he said. “There isn’t any particular St. Louis pitcher I want. There are about four of them whose names you could drop in a hat, and I would be willing to pull one out.” Gasoline credit cards for avia tors that will be honored all over the world are being planned. -1 Old Town CANOES NOW IN STOCK PICKARD’S 209 Market St. Dial 2-3224 SEE US FOR YOUR WORK CLOTHES REQUIREMENTS FINKELSTEINS Corner Front & Market ROAMER QUwled WUiiJmi Distributed by A.

Wednesday night at 8 o’clock. New Hanover High School defeated the Washington five, 30 to 14, over a month agq in the small port city, but have improved rapidly since then. Washington also seems to have done as well since they now lead the Northeast Conference, tied with Greenville, who beat the Han overians down here in December. The Washington quintet have two tall boys to ccpe with big Don Hyatt and Johnny McKoy in the persons of Phelps and Tott. Phelps, a forward stands 6 ft. 3 in. tall, while Tott tips the beam at 6 ft. 4 inches. Both gave the ’Cats plen ty of trouble in controlling the re bounds at Washington in the last tilt between the two squads. Coach Brodgen and Tom Davis want to keep the lads in a com petitive spirit before the Rocky Mount engagement here on Friday, and also would like to see how the bovs work against taller opponents. The starting lineup for Wilming ton will consist of W. A. Brown, the fiery dribbler and play-make, and Toddy Fennell, team high scorer for the season, at guards, with 6 ft. 5 in. McKoy roaming the pivot post. Billy Lee, a senstaional sen ior eager, and Luke Collie, the blond haired sophomore, will han dle the forward duties. Furnishing good reserve material are second stringers Don Hyatt, •Hacksaw’ Tuttle, Johnny Crowley, Charlie Smith, and Tinkey Rogers. The Junior Varsity ie trying to get a game with Acme-Delco as a preliminary tilt, having sank the Delco five in their last meeting. The Jayvess are looking fo rtheir third straight victory. Perhaps the outstanding man on the Jayvess is beig Joe Warren, the high scorer an da sure crip shol in the clutch. Warren, a fresh man, may develop into an out standing eager after seeing action with the charges of Coach Wallace West this season. The remainder of the first team positions are filled by Mike Aus tin, Homer Ellis, Linwood Grissom, and Jerry Hilbum, another promis ing prospect. Another big lad, who is looking better every day on the Junior Varsity is Clarence Hilburn, Jer ry’s older brother, who is effec tive on set shots and hooks. Hil burn is a tall, rugged eager, who is just the type to handle the pivot spot on future ’Cat fives. Lion’s Double-Trouble Meet Army, Navy Gridders NEW YORK, Jan. 21—{IP)—Army and Navy, the country’s No. 1 and 3 football teams last fall, both are on the Columbia schedule for 1946, director of athletics Ralph Furey said today.
