M We tried By HARRY MCCARTHY (United Press Sports Writer) CHAPEL HILL Ilf! Poor old Carl Snavely. Like the kid who kept yelling just for fun. he's hav ing a hard time convincing any body that the wolf is here lor' real this fall. Could be. Snavely’s North Car* 'ina Tar Heels are scheduled up in the Goliath league most of the season Choo Choo Justice is just another backfield coach now and the tub-thumpers aren't bally hooing anybody as his successor. But the unofficial quarterback set is snickering like a cat loose in a dairy. There’s a lot of behind-the-hand talk about a couple of carefully overlooked new tailbacks, and a list of prospective ballcarriers as long as your arm. If the veterans don't get scragged in the first three games, Snavely could be riding another rainbow. The biggest problem is to season up the newcomers before Notre Dame, Texas. Georgia or Mary land gets a whack at them. In juries could murder the Tar Heel lineup with the heavy percentage of green men as far up as the first string. . Snavely is a single wing coach who doesn’t fancy the T much and uses it sparingly to keep the crowds happy. Usually he builds his teams on the star system, put ting a lot of> rugged reliable talent around one or two ballyhooed backs. QUITE INTERESTING “An interesting te«.m," he said this fall. No doubt. Twenty-five lettermen are back, among them wingback Bob Gantt, defensive tail back Bud Carson and guard Joe Dudeck, an All-America candidate. The line looks fairly solid and beefy where it counts. Benny Wal ser ,an end who scored 24 points last year, and Bill O’Brien, a 6- foot 3-inch senior, are the offensive flankers. Dalton Ruffin 206 pounds and Tom Higgins 207 are seasoned but unflashy tackles. Dudeck will double on defense and offense at one guard post and a pack of sophomores are giving Dick Gruver a tussle for the other one. Billy Williams, a 19-year-old sop homore, is the tailback the alumni are dreaming about. Williams, who weighs 16* pounds dripping wet, ran 100 yards in a freshman garr#: last year and was hastily jerked out of sight. The opiy word since is that he “looks fair this fall.” The end of the freshman ban also will allow Snavely to use Larry Parker, an 18-year-old tailback from Charlotte who was one of the hottest prep school backs in the nation. He kicks, he passes, he runs. Pete Carr, a 23-year-old senior, is the only veteran blocking back on the squad and Snavely expects trouble. But the Tar Heels are loaded with wingbacks and full backs. Gantt, Bud Wallace, Skeet Hesmer and Dick Weiss are left from last year, plus 10 out of the freshman-sophomore grab bag. INVESfIGAION NEW YORK.

TRAVELING TRIBE And what will the Indians be doing all of this time? Now In front by a full game, the Ohioans will have a tough time protecting that margin in an extended road Q-'P which begins tonight in St. Louis and which doesn’t end until the two final days of the season But in the stretch when the other contenders will be trying to beat each other down, the Indians will be feeding on second division opposition. The activity yesterday was limit ed to the also-rans. The Pirates moved up into a sixth-place tie with the Reds by defeating them 7 to 4 as Bill Howerton hit a three- ' run homer and Dick Cole conked ' a two-run double.

PROMPTON LAKES, N. J. IIP Here at “Camp Goofycrest" j skeptics are beginning to wonder if Sugar Ray Robinson's legs are gone as he trains for Wednesday's title fight with middleweight cham pion Randy Turpin. Just when one would expect the slender Harlem boxing-master to be making his most strenuous ef forts to get “sharp,” he loafed through two successive sparring sessions. The lord of Goofycrest admitted languidly today, “I’m Just takin' it easy so I don't get stale. I gotta keep my weight up.” Among those mystified by Sugar's strange conditioning pro gram was Lou Vlscusi ex-featherweight champion Willie Pepe. Viscusi said, “Maybe Robinson and his handlers know what they’re doing, but I never heard of any thing like it. There’s only one way to get in shape for a flght-by hard work, and plenty of hard work.” DOESN'T ADD UP Pep's pilot said he couldn’t un derstand why “an over-stuffed welterweight” like Robinson should be worried about going stale when he weighed 158 pounds. A small club promoter from New York City watched Sugar Ray 101 l through five rounds with four mates indoors yesterday and then declar ed. “He’s washed up. His legs are gone.” And he's taking it easy so his lack of legs won't be too ob vious.” The promoter requested that no one use his name. During those five rounds with sparring mates the ex-middleweight champion again used a flat-footed shuffle instead of his former up on-the-toes dancing step.

From all indications he will sort pass the records set here by his older brother Mayo. I.iayo „s now a nvemljjr of the Wake Forest Deamon Deacons. Last season he was one of the standout members of that school’s Freshman squad. Tommy is expected to back up the line on defense and could really do some damage to any opposition’s of fense. Thompson is so far untested at the backfield position but 'should come around to top-notch form. MANY NEW PLANS! Starting at the left tackle pos ition will be a new-comer to the Greenies team. Jimmy Sills is be ginning his first season of foot ball and is doing so with a bang. Jimmy is a big boy who should be a big help to the young team.
