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-

Cage Practice
Will Start
Wednesday
The first basketball practice of the
season will be held in Woollen gymna
sium at 4:30 next Wednesday after
noon, Coach Lange announced yester
day. 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.

The 1942 tag football season got
under way yesterday with eight rous
ing contests opening the festivities.
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

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,

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

Freshmen Run
Fordham Plays
For Varsity
Lange Planning
For Davidson Game
The freshman ball club contributed
in part to the varsity team's send-off
yesterday by running Fordham plays
for Coach Jim Tatum's outfit for an
hour and a half. 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.

Tight Battle
With Fordham
Is Expected
Rams to Field
Potent Eleven
The- Carolina football team arrives
in New York this morning for its big
intersectional battle with the Ford
ham Rams tomorrow.
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.
