21a Hp Q)MBVlB 1 t SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1940 CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAEOLINA Tar Baby Pass Attack Fails To Break Up Dcaclet Victory PLAYING THE GAEflE O : With LEONARD LOURED NEW YORK, Nov 1 This metro politan center is as much astir about the Carolina-Fordham game as it is about the Notre Dame-Army clash to morrow, and in circles following the Tar Heel caravan the spirit is high and hopes and expectancies are for a Carolina victory. Pre-game publicity for the Notre Dame-Army and Cornell-Columbia games has slightly shaded that of the encounter Tar Heel followers are awaiting. About 800 students came from Chapel Hill by bus and train, and hundreds more by automobile. Alum ni, too, are quite plentiful. The New York Athletic club was the place of an alumni meeting and dinner tonight, attended by Caro lina graduates most of whom live in New York. Alumni Secretary J. Marjon Saunders represents the ' Ahimni association. Doc Ollie Corn well of the physical education de partment is here to show motion pictures of the ' Texas Christian game. Kay Kyser, the pride of Rocky Mount and Chapel Hill, is the best known of the Carolina alumni. George Stirnweiss, co-captain of the 1939 eleven, runs him a close second and is best-known among the recent classes There is also Ace Parker, Duke alum nus whose present occupation is per forming as an all-star for the Brook lyn pro grid team. The program was arranged by Claiborne Carr, Jr., a former editor of the Tar Heel. Bill Blount, former Carolina football player, heads th New York chapter of the alumni They have invited Jim Crowley, Fordham's brilliant 39-year-old coach, and Bill Co rum. whose' sports column in the New York Journal-American is syn dicated throughout he country. Everyone awaits- the parade and pep rally in the morning, at which Kay Kyser is expected to be top man. Ferebee Taylor, University dub president in charge of ar rangements, has been very busy since his arrival helping to plan prergame and post-game festivities. Carolina students are scattered all over the city. The Carolina team is staying at the Croydon. Students are staying at the Lincoln, Piccadilly, Wal dorf and Pennsylvania. Others have gone on to cities and towns beyond New York. Home-town rooters for Sid Sadoff, Dick Sieck and Frank O'Hare are ex pec tec to turn out for the game to pull for these former New York high school stars. Hatboro, Pennsylvania, is reported to be sending almost 2,000 to see Carl Suntheimer, who is the mnst fnmrm rnllece t)laver in that part of Penney near Philadelphia. Carolina students who left Chapel Hill without buying game tickets have been getting them in a last-minute rash. Carolina, is Dointine for a vic tory. We shall see ...

Scoreless Last Time Carolina's last showing at the Polo grounds ended in a scoreless tie in 1938 between the Rams and the 'Tar Heels, but Fordham holds the edge in the series on the strength of its 14-0 victory in Kenan stadium in 1937 when Aiex wojaecnowicz at center, and Edmund Franco and Al Babartsky at tackle played their parts , with the "Seven Blocks of Granite" while add ing their bit toward gaining first All- American recognition. Carolina has never been beaten in New York, though, either by Fordham or by New York university's Violets whom the Tar Heels have defeated four times in as many seasons, and pre-game dope indicates that that record will remain good for another year at least. Victory for each team will be dif ficult, but on the basis of the Tar Heels' showing against Tulane last Saturday it is expected that only a very top- notch performance by the Rams will win for the home team. Left halfback Len Eshmont, an all-star threat for the third year, has been given aid from Blacky Blumenstock at blocking back and has Quarterback Jim Noble and Fullback Steve Fihpowicz to share passing duties. Around them Crowley has fashioned an aerial at tack that explodes anywhere on the field and at any time. The passing attack is Fordham's big threat, but is more than offset by the air game of the Tar Heels, whose experience at chucking and receiving dates back several seasons. Jim La- lanne and Paul Severin, an All-Ameri can pass combination, are looked to for aerial fireworks, and the Heavenly Flower from Louisiana can b counted on f on- great gains on running plays. The Lalanne-to-Severin combination isnt considered the end of Carolina's potentialities, for each member of the Tar Heel line and backfield has shown himself capable of holding out against competition of all description. And Coach Ray Wolf has given the (Continued on page 4, column S) Varsity Harriers Begin Training For Conference After disposing of Duke with con siderable dispatch in Thursday's cross country meet, the varsity harriers are looking forward to a period of intensive training in preparation for the conference meet which is schedul ed for November 16 at College Park, Md. Little was done yesterday. Since the squad sat back to survey the satis fying results of the Maryland and Duke meets. The Tar Heels, as . a whole, showed up remarkably well in both engagements, and Coach Ranson is justly proud of their efforts. Par ticularly gratifying is the work of Mike Wise, by beating Duke's Wendy Lockwood to the finish in Thursday, proved himself to be a real competitor and a definite Carolina hope in the conference meet.' Shiny Showing The showing of the team in the ower brackets also merits particular attention and Sim Nathan, John Eddv. Charlie" Howe, Lamar Wood, Holt Allen and Jim Toy will come in for some well-deserved recognition when those team scores begin to mount up at College Park on Novem ber 16. Dave Morison seems to have bund himself, and with Wimpy Ie wis. men van uaeuuci, j-icmj Branch and Wise filling in, things have taken on a brighter hue tnan before. However, the conference meet will almost conceded a first from the start. Tommy Fields looks to be the cream of the crop and witn iene vscnen- rpiter. who didn't run in the Carolina meet, competing, the Marylandrs 'will be hard to beat, in aaaiuon, n is articularly significant that the meet will be held over the Terrapin course on which the Tar Heels met tneir only cross country defeat last year.

ONE BLOCKING BACK is Harry Dunkle who handles the kicking assignments when he is in the game. Blocking backs usually don't get thcamount of recognition they should, but everyone will agree that Dunkle is a valuable man to have in the backfield either on of fense or defense. He's scheduled to start at his blocking back post against Fordham in New York today. ' , Probable Starters Carolina .

Always considered a fine defensive club, the Furman team which battles State tonight has become one of the eading offensive teams in the nation averaging almost 25 points a game. State, very unpredictable, has play ed some good ball games this fall and some poor ones. Its game agains Carolina ranks as one of the best of he fall. The club has been called "the. most mystifying club that has played in this state during the de cade." Major Upset Pulling a major upset in the con erence last year, State managed to Uck Furman, 12-7, after a hard, bruis ing game, uoacn jjoc .Newton has a much better club this fall, but the Furman team, under A. P. McLeod, has shown mucn improvement aiso. i Footbal circles are calling the game even. The William and Mary-VMI game at Lexington is the only other game in the conference matching loop teams. VMI, from its defeat by Richmond last week, may have what it .takes to lickCarl Voyles' squad. Virginia didn't have it last week when it was beaten by the Cadets, 13-6. University of Maryland, which isn't having such a good season under its coaching board, takes on the strong Georgetown team which is happy over its 26-0 win from NYU. Maryland managed to score a 6-0 victory over West Virginia last week for one of its few wins of the season. Clemson takes on Tulane in New Orleans in a major intersectional m - tm game, ruiane eicea out a -o score over the Tigers last year, the only loss of th South Carolina men, and rates a slight favorite today. Tulane, after a poor start, reached its peak last week against Carolina. In another major Virginia game the University of Virginia meets Vir ginia Tech in their annual game at Blacksburg. Tech defeated Washing ton and Lee, last week, 21-0, while Virginia was falling. Other games pit West . Virginia against Washington . and Lee at Charleston, W. Va., Penn State against South Carolina at Columbia, Hampden-Sydney and Richmond at Richmond, and Centre and Davidson at Davidson. 1 Send the Daily Tax Heel home. Duke Given Edge On Georgia Tech In Game Today Thirty thousand spectators are ex pected in Durham this afternoon when Duke's Blue Devils rally against the "hot-magic" of Georgia Tech in the feature game of the state this week. Game time is 2 o'clock. With the day starting off with a large homecoming parade at 10:30, the game will draw the largest crowd to see a football, contest in the state so far this season. It will probably : be second only to the Carolina-Duke game in Chapel Hill two weeks off. Marked by small scores and the un expected, the Duke-Georgia Tech foot ball rivalry dates back to 1933 and since then three games have been de cided by one touchdown and two by one point. Fine Teams Wallace Wade, Duke coach, and Bill Alexander, Tech mastermind, have two of the finest teams in the South this year. Each team, studded by indi vidual stars, has been defeated, Duke falling to Tennessee, 13-0, and Geor gia Tech to Notre Dame, 26-20, and Auburn, 16-7, in a thriller. Johnny - Bosch, the Engineers' sen sational halfback, will match his run ning ability and throwing arm against Wes McAfee's talents in what will probably be the top individual duel of the game. A punting duel is expected between Neil Cavette, Tech guard, and Steve Lach, Duke's powerful halfback. Bosch will direct the Tech passing game, which is rated tne most tncKy in the South. Duke, also, has been working on its passing in practice drills ,thfe week and is expected to un cork another strong running game with enough aerials to confuse the opposition. Although Georgia Tech has always (Continued on page A, column IX Seven Mural Teams Still Undefeated Inclement weather and a general exodus in the direction of New York and the Fordham game by a large part of the student body combined to force a postponement of yester day's mural games, and put an end to a hectic week. Despite the num ber of close contests, all the undefeat ed teams maintain their status, sev eral ! emerging victorious only after putting forth their greatest effort. Leading the dorm parade are Lewis and K No. 1, with five consecutive victories to their credit, close on the heels of the leaders is Med School, boasting four victories and no de feats. Lewis, behind a fast charg ing line and several speedy backs, with Jennings leading the attack, had the closest call of the week, when it barely managed to squeeze - by Manly in an overtime game. ' Keeping pace with Lewis, K No. 1 won a notable victory by downing a strong Mangum team, 20-7. Without any individual stars on the team, the ft. team wonted well as a unit, hurd ling one of the most difficult obstacles in its campaign to seize top honors in the dorm league. Med School won itx only game of the week by the for feit, route, but the doctors have not had a real test yet. Close behind the three leaders are two strong teams, Town No. 1 and Ruff in with only one defeat to mar their records. The Town team suf fered its only defeat at the hands of K No. 1 early in the season, but led by Marks, it has put in a strong bid for recognition. Ruff in, with two fine backs in Gersten and Briggs, has racked up the tremendous total of 180 points, and has suffered its only de feat at the hands of K No. 1. The frat race has narrowed down to four teams, with several others within striking distance of the lead ers. Sigma Nu, led by Looch and Briggs in the backfield and Parks and Coxhead in the line, turned in their sixth straight victory this week by downing Chi Psi, to shake the losers out of the all-victorious circle. Only one more game remains on the Snakes' schedule. Zeta Psi. idle duriner the week, and Kappa Sigma, with a 20-0 win over Pi Lambda Phi, are blowing its hot breath on the neck of the lead ers. The Zetes have a record of five wins without a loss, and boast a fine passing threat in the Wilson-to-Nash combination. Kappa Sig appears to have the (Continued on page 4, column 1) The Why and How ' Wake Forest Carolina First Downs 10 Passes Attempted 9 Passes had intercepted 1 Yds. gained passes 64 No. of punts 8 Av. yardage punts 32.6 No. of penalties 7 Yds. in penalties 65 Fumbles 6 Opp's fumbles reeov'd 1 10 20 1 136 12 32 7 35 3 3 119 40 Yds. gained rushing 224 Yds. lost rushing 14 Scoring touchdowns: Wake Forest Perry (2), Jordan.

Wake Forest " Frosh Take Game, 19-13 By Harry HoIIingsirorth Beaten 19-0 with just six minutes left in the game, the Carolina frosh turned on a surprising aerial attack in the closing moments and gave the Wake Forest Deaclets a scare before they could escape with a 19-13 win yesterday afternoon in Kenan stadium. A 165-pound tailback, Leo LeBlanc, and a ISO-pound end, John Hussey, combined their talents to put the Tar Babies back into the game. Hussey caught six of eight passes completed by the Babies for a total of 90 yards. Although Hussey didnt score either of the touchdowns, his pass-snagging placed the Tar Babies into position to run the ball oyer. But Hussey and LeBlanc were not the entire show for the Tar Babies. John Sadlik, who was moved to full back in practice drills this week, came up with a sparkling performance, scoring the Babies' initial touchdown from the one-foot mark. Jack Emack scored the Babies' second marker when he took a pass and ran 25 yards through the Deaclet team. Emack, considered a fine prospect for the track team, was fairly consistent in running with the ball, and especially on a reverse was he able to pick up much yardage. Although his passes were not as con sistent as LeBlanc's, Hugh Cox, tail back, was the best running back for the Tar Babies in the game. Cox came into the game at the start of the second quarter,and immediately direct ed a Tar Heel advance to the Wake Forest 39, the closest the Tar Babies came to the Deaclets' goal line in the first half. The Tar Babies' line, which was out played by the Deaclets in the first half, performed much better during the final half and especially toward the end of the final period. Vance McGirt, Charlie Gordon, guards, Frank Clem ent, Marshall Parker, and Tom Brynm, tackles, and Craven Turner and John Hussey, ends, were 'outstanding. Turner was the best defensive man on the field. Hal Alderson, Mike Buss, Bob Shu- ford and Bob Jordan all did a fine job backing up the line. Tom Lytle and John Wood divided time at center and both played well. Completely outplayed the first half, the Tar Babies performed like a new team the last half. Superior punting in the first half, a 21-yard punt return and a 66-yard run from scrimmage in the third period told the Deaclets' scoring story. Playing on the offense the entire first half, the Deaclets stayed on the defense the final half. One advance other than the score, carried them to the Tar Babies' 11 but a fumble and a Carolina recovery of it stopped them without a score. Other than on that drive, the Deaclets stayed in their ter ritory the entire half. Hugh Cox suffered a knee injury mid-way through the third quarter and left the game not to return. Le Blanc and a 15-yard penalty against the Deaclets started the Tar Babies' scoring. Set to the Wake Forest 45 by the penalty, LeBlanc passed to Hussey who caught the ball on the 10 and pulled three Wake Forest men to the five before falling. Another pass to Hussey put the ball on the one-yard line. There Sadlik put his head down and blasted himself a hole through the line for six points. A fumble kept LeBlanc from attempting the extra (Continued on page 4, column 4) C HEROKEE'S AROLINA HRISTMAS ARDS Will Be Out Soon ? A Qeiett Week-Eiidl ?
