FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1942 THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE THREE Sport Sidelines By Bill Woestendiek With thousands of ardent Carolina students giving them a roaring send off, the Tar Heel gridders embarked for Fordham yesterday for tomor row's crucial clash with the revenge ful Rams. The undefeated Carolina eleven has its work cut out for it tomor row. The Tar Heels must not only overcome a five-year jinx, but Coach Tatum's men must conquer a team that is still smarting from a bad lacing at the hands of Tennes see last week. It has been a long time since a Fordham grid outfit tasted defeat twice in a whole sea son, much less in two consecutive games, and the Rose Hill huskies want to pick on Carolina tomorrow. The Tar Heels are in top physical shape for the clash and have their best chance ever to upset the Rams. On the basis of comparative scores, the Carolina outfit is 39 points better than their Northern rivals, but com parative scores are meaningless and the New York press still installs the home team as a favorite, and perhaps rightly so. We would be a lot surer of the , Carolina chances if Fordham hadn't been dumped so rudely by the Volun teers last week. As it is, the North erners will give their all to regain home-town prestige in their open ing home game by notching a vic tory. It would probably be partic ularly pleasing to Fordham if it could beat a Southern eleven, for it was another team from South of the Mason-Dixon line that ruffled the Rams last Saturday. Tar Heel fans may rest assured of one fact, however, and that is that the Carolina club will do its best to shear the Rams. The high-spirited Tar Heels have been riding high thus far, and we think the same fighting-spirit that has brought two victories to Tarheelia will make itself felt again tomorrow. The Pre-Flight teams have bitten off quite a hunk of Big Five compe tition tomorrow. The Georgia Navy eleven clashes with Duke in Durham and fans will probably see another football oddity that of the once mighty Blue Devils bowing for the second week in succession. The Sky crackers are undefeated thus far, only a tie with our own Cloudbusters marring their schedule. The excellent passing attack of Ray Wolf's team may prove too much for Duke to handle. The Carolina Navy club goes over to Raleigh tomorrow night to en gage State College in a dogfight. State is undefeated, but tied by Davidson. The Cloudbusters have a clean slate, but tied Georgia Navy last Friday. State is going a little out of its class against the Cloud- We, too are having" a scrap drive.

He urges that everyone having the least experience in this sport make an effort to be present at this initial practice. Those, however, who cannot appear at that time on account of jobs j are asked to report to Woollen 312, and evening sessions will be arranged. Un til November, two practices will be held each week, and everyone will have a chance to try out for the team. By that time Coach Lange expects to have the squad outlined, and daily work outs will commence. Coach Lange was not able to make any predictions as to the quality of the team, since only two lettermen and four squadmen are returning. He will have to build the team from the bot tom up, and hopes for some good-sized material to supplement the small men he now has. The only lettermen re turning are George Paine, a good first string forward, and Lew Hayworth, a second team guard. There are but four squadmen left from last year's crop: Ellis Freedman, a forward with some experience ; Dan Marks, Toad McCach ren, and Cam Rodman. Sadly missed will be the brilliant play of Bob Rose, captain and center of last year's quintet; the last-second saves of Bob Gersten, always a depend able guard; Bob Smith, a first class forward, and Reid Suggs, an excellent guard. Coach Lange will have to get some very good material to fill in these gaps. busters and should take a beating. Last week's football games resulted in one of the biggest lists of upsets I and surprises in a long time. We have just been able to get the Yogi to crawl out of his hole after last Saturday's nightmare. He marked up a seven- seven record in last week's predic tions, and his season's record now stands at 19 wins and nine losses. He fearlessly offers the following selec tions for tomorrow: CAROLINA over Fordham with our fingers crossed. GEORGIA NAVY over Duke the Blue Devils get bluer. CAROLINA NAVY over State. ARMY over Cornell but the Big Red might surprise. BOSTON COLLEGE over Clemson. DUQUESNE over Kansas State. WAKE FOREST over Furman The Deacons go on a spree. GEORGIA over Mississippi Sink wich & Co. are undefeated. WM. & MARY over Harvard the Indians are after John's scalp, but the Crimson won't be pushed around.

Several teams displayed amazing of fensive power to win their opening games and to warn future rivals that they had better be wary. Some out standing talent was displayed and if what was witnessed today is only a sample of what is going to be shown before the season is over it is going to be an exceedingly difficult job when the time comes to pick the All-Campus team. Kappa Sigs Score The Kappa Sigmas who won the championship last year showed that jthey are out to repeat "lhat victory and to prove that' it was no fluke. They showed excellent teamwork and passing. in crushing a game, but out classed, Kappa Alpha team, 14-0. The Kappa Alpha team showed great pos sibilities and may prove to be a threat as the season rolls on. Wooten, Le blanc, Rose, and Bulluck were the out standing stars for the Kappa Sigs but the team as a whole was very formid able. ATO showed some unstoppable of fensive power in defeating Phi Gamma Delta 13-0. Several long runs featured this game. Webb, Blair, Harley, and Cranf ord carried the brunt of the win See INTRAMURALS, page U Druitt Picks Grid Winners For Saturday Carolina, Georgia, Cornell Selected By Bob Druitt Last week's series of reverses pulled the season's average from 78.8 per cent down to an even 74 per cent. This is 6.1 per cent below this time last year and is one per cent over the average of the 1940 season in the last week of Oc tober of that year when an unusual number of upsets was recorded to give us our lowest average in over three years. Up to date we have called 207 games. Discounting 11 ties, we have been rightm 145 and missed 51. Possible Upsets Games to watch for possible upsets this week are: Santa Clara-California, Colgate-Dartmouth, Georgia-Mississippi, Harvard-William & Mary, Indiana-Nebraska, Vanderbilt-Kentucky, Ohio State-Southern California, Missi sippi State-LSU, Army-Cornell, Tu-lane-Rice, and Oregon-Washington. On a long shot we'll pick Ohio State, Cor nell, Tulane, and Santa Clara to turn and string along with the favorites on the others. For this week: ALABAMA over Pensacola Navy. ARKANSAS over Baylor. CORNELL over Army. AUBURN over Florida. BOSTON COLLEGE over Clemson. COLUMBIA over Brown. TEMPLE over BucknelL SANTA CLARA over California. GEORGIA TECH over Chattanooga.

TWO OF THE MEN playing key roles in the Carolina-Fordham drama tomorrow are Bob Heymann, left, and Hugh "Shot" Cox, right. Heymann, 200-pound tackle, is one of the bulwarks of the Tar Heel line, and Cox will alternate at tailback with Billy Myers. Both will see a lot of action against the Rams. Navy Club Preps for State, Pass Defense Is Big Worry Anticipating a heavy aerial attack by North Carolina State in tomorrow night's game at Raleigh, the Navy Pre Flight School Cloudbusters concen trated on pass defense today and with no great success. The inability to knock down passes has been the outstanding weakness of the team thus far this season and has cost the 'Busters many yards. Last Friday night the Georgia Navy was trailing by 14 points going into the final quarter when Lieut. Ray Wolf's great passer, Frank Filchock, went into action and accounted for two touch downs. The game ended in a 14-14 deadlock. Line Is Strong The Cloudbusters' line can hold its own against all comers and the coach es have little concern about the State backs going anywhere on the ground. However, what Coach "Doc" Newton has in the way of an overhead attack is a source of worry to the staff and to the Navy backs. Superb physical condition, the result of the intense athletic program at the Pre-Flight School, continues to keep the football squad free from injuries and the 'Busters will answer the open ing kickoff against the Wolfpack in top shape. Passes continued to find their marks today and the result may be a shake up in the lineup. Missed assignments by the backs and lack of hard rushing by the linemen allowed Catawba to complete too many aerials and Harvard receivers ran free all afternoon. WAA Announces Campus Managers For Coed Sports The Woman's Athletic Council, head ed by Mary McCormic, announces its full membership with the appointment of campus managers for the seven sports to be sponsored by the Athletic Association this quarter.

This was the last chance for the varsity to see run against them before Saturday's game) the plays that Earl Walsh has doped out for his boys on Rose Hill. All this week the freshman ball teams have been running plays and scrimmaging against the varsity, and as a result the prepping of Coach Lange's charges for the Davidson game in Charlotte next Friday has been somewhat neglected. The fresh man players due to the workouts with the varsity club are in a better phy sical shape than if they had only worked out among themselves, and, a chance to play against seasoned col lege ball players has given them a lot of valuable experience. Now that the varsity preparation for the Fordham game is over, Coach Lange will be devoting all his possible time to getting the frosh lined up for the coming Davidson game. Yester day's practice was a long one, lasting from 2:30 to nearly six o'clock, and Coach Lange was fairly well pleased with the freshmen's showing after the players were sent to the showers. But Coach Lange is certain of one thing, and that is that next week his ball players have a lot to catch up on if they want to be ready for the Wild cat yearlings. The outstanding feature of yester day's workout was the scrimmage be tween the first and third freshman teams with the first team handling the ball. Though not scrimmaging very long since they had just come back to Fetzer field where they had worked for an hour and a half, the first team had little trouble in running up sev eral touchdowns in rapid order. Jim Culberson and Doc Blanchard did most of the toting, and the ball went Hnwn the field in rapid 10 and 20 yard spurts. Culberson, as has al ready been shown, is a shifty runner and likes to shake his hips while Blanchard employs more power in his . i i n t-- running game ana HKes to duu ms way into the secondary.

A tight ball game is expected with Fordham's once-beaten eleven playing its first home game against the unde feated invaders. Fordham beat Pur due by one touchdown in its first game and was badly beaten by Tennessee last week, 40-13. The Tar Heels down ed Wake Forest, 6-0, in their season opener and upset South Carolina, 18 6, last week. Battle of Cunning A battle of cunning and speed be tween the two star backfields and a great duel between the two hard charging lines is in the offing. The starting Fordham backfield will be made up of Jim Hearn, Joe Andrejco, George Cheverko and Steve Filipowicz and those four lads shape up as one of the nation's top backfields. Full back Filipowicz is a triple-threat man and the most dangerous man on the Rams. He led the Rams to their two touchdown victory over Carolina in Kenan stadium last fell and will be attempting a repeat performance to morrow. Coach Tatum's starting backfield should be able to give the Ram sec ondary a run for its money. Billy Myers, Joe Austin, Mike Cooke and Clay Croom have demonstrated in the first two games that they are one of the top backfield quartets in the Southland. The Tar Heels also have other very capable backs in Shot Cox, Walt Pupa, Bill Sigler and Joe Wright. Fordham Backfield The Fordham backfield, star-studded and filled to the brim with experi ence, is rated above the Blue and White backfield, but Carolina's bril liant line is actually considered to be a little better than, the Fordham front wall. Coach Jim Tatum, who has capably coached his team to two surprising wins, has been working the men hard all week in an effort to accustom them to Fordham plays and teach them a few tricks of value against the Rams. Walsh Coaches Rams Earl Walsh, chief assistant to Jim Crowley for many years, is guiding the Rams while Crowley is in the Navy. Walsh has developed a good club, despite last week's beating, and the Rams will be hard to beat tomor- row. The Tar Heels ran through a light workout against the frosh yesterday before leaving for New York. The freshman team ran some Fordham plays, but no body contact was in volved. The Carolina club was given a roaring send-off by the students prior to leaving. Carolina Harriers Run Bradford-Lewis Course In Today s Workout Carolina's varsity cross country squad enjoyed a day of respite yester day taking only a light tuning-up work out in preparation for this afternoon's ; five mile jaunt over the hills and dales of the Brafford-Lewis course. Although the five mile distance is no , longer run in conference cross country : competition, having been replaced last I v ii j. j i :i year Dy xne now sianuaru iour mne course, Coach Dale Ranson feels that the over-distance work will prove in valuable in preparing his runners for the season ahead. A group of the top-ranking Tar Heel harriers, including Frank Hardy, George Lewis, Tom Jewett, Sim Nath an, Howard Ennis, Dick Hollander, Hall Partrick and Chuck Howe, will had time to get in shape yet after a late start, and it is dubious whether he will run with his teammates this afternoon. Freshman Julian MeKenzie, who looked very good in Monday's run over the three and a half mile course, will accompany the varsity. As in previous years, rivalry for starting positions on the team is keen,. and with the all-important Navy meet coming up just two weeks from this j Saturday, the contenders will really j get down to business starting this af- developed Carolina cross country teams, j into the best in the South.
