Selection of Duquesne as an oppo
nent for the Tar Heels on Homecom
ing Day this Saturday brought a deep
sigh of relief last night at 11 o'clock
to Coach Bob Fetzer who has been
hanging on the telephone and burning
up the telegraph wires the last few
days in an effort to fill the breech
filled by the forced cancellation of the
Rice contest. To secure a game with
any opponent at such a late date would
be a credit to a eenius but to have
secured the powerful Dukes from
Pittsburgh is a real tribute to our di
rector of athletics. Duquesne had al
ready been notified earlier this week
that the Tar Heels, expecting to com
plete arrangements for a game with
Clemson, would not be able to play
them and negotiations with the Pitts
burgh club were broken off. But when
all efforts to secure a Southern Con
ference foe such as Clemson or Wil
liam and Mary for a game had failed
Fetzer was faced with the problem of
either resigning himself to no game
Saturday or trying to reopen negoti-!
ations with Duquesne only four days
before the open date. Fetzer immedi
ately contacted athletic bigwigs at
Duquesne yesterday who still reacted
favorably toward the contest. After
a meeting of the Tar Heel football
players and coaches had been held late
yesterday in which they unanimously
voted to play the Dukes if possible,
Fetzer notified Duquesne and after
the rumor had spread like wildfire
around Chapel Hill last night, official
confirmation of the game was received
late last night from Pittsburgh.
The University not only has secured
one of the nation's top teams for an
intersectional clash here but a team
which last year was one of five un
defeated and untied teams in the
country and was ranked sixth in thej
nation. So far this season the Iron
Dukes have maintained their brillaint
record and have chalked up three
triumphs and have yet to be scored
on. The Tar Heels will have their
hands full and it would be a fine ac
knowledgement of what will be one
of the top games of the day in the na
tion if a large crowd turns out for the
engagement Saturday afternoon.
Scheduling of the game comes as
the climax to a week of frantic and
hectic arrangements to fill the open
day. Humors have filled the air' prac
tically every day about some new team
that was supposedly "set" to come to
Chapel Hill. Duquesne, William and
Mary, Clemson, Jacksonville Air Sta
tion, and Princeton all have been men
tioned but not until last night did the
real truth come out.
To the Athletic Association must go
credit for making every possible effort
to secure a game for this weekend but
a more successful solution to the prob
lem might have been reached much
earlier and with much less confusion
if University officials had started to
work several weeks sooner instead of
waiting until the last minute. The de-
Town-Archer Team
Battles Chi O's
Barring rain there will be a hockey
match this afternoon at 2 o'clock in
Kenan stadium, between the Chi O's
and the combined team of Town-Archer.
Last year Town won the hockey tour
ney, but the migration of former Town
students into the dormitories has taken
many of last fall's stars.
Yesterday's match between Spencer
and Alderman was rained out, but
hockey managers report that the game
will be played off later.
lay in seeking another team was caused
by the late decision of Rice in which
they suddenly discovered that the trip
to Chapel Hill was too far. Why did
Rice wait until less than two weeks be
fore the game to find out that Chapel
Hill was too far to come? Their ex
cuse was that if they came here they
would have to make the trip from Tu
lane, where they played last Saturday,
and that would mean that the players
would miss two weeks of classes. Rice
University could have visualized this
situation a month ago.
As far as the Tar Heel team and
coaches are concerned, a game this Sat
urday not only is desirable but almost
a necessity if the players are to keep
in trim for the tough games to follow,
notably Tulane a week from Saturday.
In playing Duquesne they will be
playing a team unscouted which makes
it difficult to prepare adequately, par
ticularly when it is such a top-flight
team as Duquesne.
The University administration has
been taking an active part in the pro
ceedings the past few days also. Doc
tor Frank and Controller W. D. Car-
michael have been burning up the
wires the last two days in an effort to
land a game for Saturday. But until
last night every effort proved futile.
Clemson was the first team to be
considered but the Tigers, just through
with an extremely tough contest with
Boston College have their traditional
game with South Carolina coming up a
week from tomorrow. If they accept
ed a contest with Carolina, they would
have only three practice days before
the Gamecock encounter which would
scarcely be sufficient. So Clemson of
ficially declined our overtures for a
game, even though they have been try
ing to make the Tar Heel schedule lor
years.
William and Mary was given a
prominent place in the papers as a very'
strong possibility. But the Indians
while taking the Tar Heel suggestion
under consideration decided against
such a proposal since they have such
a hard set of games coming up during
the remainder of the season. And so
yesterday morning Coach Bob Fetzer
stated that William and Mary had been
eliminated from the possibilities.
Still another team which was taken
into consideration was the Jacksonville
Naval Air Station paced by George
McAfee, the former Duke star. The
Tars were probable the strongest can
didates for the proposed game and were
in favor of it but an application for a
traveling permit was turned down by
Navy officials and this possibility was
exhausted.
DUQUESNE
(Continued from first page)
McAfee, the former Duke star, as one
of its members, could not obtain trav
eling permission for the contest.
The Duquesne eleven has a record
of eighteen consecutive wins over a
two-year period. Its last defeat came
at the hands of Mississippi, 14-6, in the
third crame of the 1940 season. Last
year in running up their unbeaten and
untied record, the Dukes racked up
143 points against 23 for their oppon
ents.
So far this year Duquesne has run
roughshod over their three opponents
In their opener, they defeated Waynes-
burg 26-0, then smashed a powerful
Holy Cross eleven 25-0, and last week
conquered Kansas State 33-0.
When the Iron Dukes come to Kenan
stadium on Saturday they will bring
a top-flight team into a battle which
will be favored over an undefeated but
once tied Tar Heel eleven.

Swim Candidates Meet Today
With Season Prospects Good
Rv Paul Finrh
Despite the loss of nine lettermen
from last year's undefeated swimming
team, Coach Dick Jamerson predicts
that this year's team will be just as
strong as last year's and possibly
stronger if several outstanding sophs
come through as expected.
The first practice will start with a
meeting at 5:30 today in room 304 in
Woollen Gym. Past teams have been
successful because of good condition,
hard work, and fine spirit, and this
year should be no exception.
The 1942 team had one of the most
successful seasons in the history of
Carolina smimming. They not only
won eight matches without a single loss
but also won the Southern Conference
championship for the third straight
year, and finished third in the Eastern
Intercollegiate meet. They climaxed
the season by tieing for twelfth place

With the second continuous day of
rain yesterday the mud on Fetzer
field was deeper than ever, but de
spite the elements Coach Bill Lange
drove the Freshmen ball players
through a gurgling two hour prac
tice. The frosh uniforms, although
they were fairly dirty at the start of
practice, were coffee-colored when the
players trekked back into their dress
ing room underneath the stands at
the field.
The passing game was out for the
afternoon because the footballs were
so heavy and slippery, but the run
ning plays were scrimmaged during
the entire practice. The frosh didn't
like the feel of the driving rain at
the start of practice, but after Coach
Lange had warned them that the Da
vidson freshmen were probably going
through the same thing, the players
forgot the weather and concentrated
on football.
The ground plays were run again
and again until the farther" end of
Fetzer field was the proverbial sea
of ' mud. The backs and the linemen
kept on driving. Players were slipping
and sliding. Tackles were being made
in the big puddles that covered the
field. The practice was a good one
however, because the freshmen had
another chance to play with a wet
ball, the players were driving hard,
and the fumbles were rare.
The brushing up stage is now on
for the frosh and will be until Friday.
Throughout practice yesterday indi
vidual players were being picked out
for special attention. Coach Lange has
been feeling pretty happy about his
charges this week, and the indications
are that he thinks the Tar Babies will
be set for the Davidson Kittens.
Although the freshmen will prac
tice today in the same uniforms that
they used yesterday, Thursday the
footballers who have been selected to
wear them will work out in their game
uniforms. During the middle of prac
tice the game uniform list was posted
in the dressing room with 38 players
being chosen to get them from Sarge's
office today. The players who are to
get the game uniforms are Dokmono-
vich, Cornogg, Cameron, Rutkowski,
Slaughter, Fowle, Ellis, Culberson,
Blanchard, Craver, Galinkin, Fitch,
Elliot, Spurlin, Lewis, Vogolsang,
Gambill, Fowler, Folger, Staphonic,
Herman, Badbam, Patrick, Tolar,
Swain, Tew, Oringer, Manning,
Browning, Ribet, Lineberger, Jernic,
Lane, Gibbs, Purcell, Ellis, Storey,
and Brown.
in the Nationals. This was the first
Carolina team to score in the Na
tionals. The outstanding intersection
al win was the 58-17 triumph over the
powerful Navy team. The Tar Heels
have won eighteen straight conference
dual meets, and sixteen straight
against all competition. In the past
four years the record shows 25 wins
against 7 losses.
Lost from last year's team are such
men as Co-Captains Barclay and Cox-
head, captain-elect Bob Ousley, Hobbs,
Lees, Ostrowsky, Funkel, Ortland, and
Stone. Barclay, Coxhead, Hobbs,
Lees, Ostrowsky, Funkel, and Stone
graduated while Ortland and Ausley
are in the armed forces. Ausley was
conference breast stroke champion for
2 years and holds the record for the
short course in 2:35.1 and for the long
course in 2:59.2. He was also a mem
ber of the medley team. He is now
serving in the Army. "Chips" Ort
land, who ranked second only to Ausley
in the conference, is now a midshipman
at Annapolis.. The graduation of co-
captains Barclay and Coxhead left va
cancies in the sprints and in the 220.
Among the returning lettermen are
Denny Hammond, Andy Weiss, Don
Nicholson, Johnny Fuchtenberger,
Pete Hix, Bill Elmore. Hammond
is an outstanding backstroker and
holds the NCAA long course record.
He is also the conference short and
long course record holder. Weiss and
Elmore participate in the 220 and 240.
Nicholson and Fuchtenberger are div
ing aces. They are defending con
ference champions in 1941 and 1942.
Hix is a backstroker.
Returning reserves are Charles Ma
honey, Justin Lipmean, Bob Rubin
sohn, Al Warshauer, and Don Gold
farb. Promising sophs are Percy Mallison,
George Whitner, Buddy Crone, Bill
Herr, Leroy Little, Sokoloff, Duryea,
Wallace, Schenek, and Johnson. Malli
son holds the national freshman 50
and 220 long course record. Whitner
holds the American breast stroke rec
ord for 100 meters long course. Crone
is the National AAA junior high div
ing champion of 1942. Herr, and Lit
tle are . f ree-stylers. Sokoloff, and
Duryea are breaststrokers, and John
son, Schenek, and Wallace are back
strokers.
This year's team will be built around
Hammond and Hie, backstrokers ;
Weiss and Elmore, distance; Mallison
and Little, sprints; Whitner, Schwartz,
and Sokoloff, breaststrokers; and
Crone, Nicholson, and Feuchtenberger,
divers.
Cloudbusters
Hold Session
For BC Game
Captains Elected
For Boston Game
When the Cloudbusters from the
Carolina Pre-Flight school go north
this weekend to meet the powerful Bos
ton College eleven, two former stand
outs on the Boston club will be in the
starting lineup against their former
teammates. Gene Goodreault. All-
American end at Boston Colleee in
1940 and Joe Zabilski, star guard on
the 1940 Sugar Bowl eleven, were
named captains for the Boston College
game yesterday and both players will
be in top shape to attempt to throttle
their old mates.
The Cloudbusters, their season's rec
ord unblemished except for a 14-14
draw with Ray Wolf's powerful Geor
gia Pre-Flight eleven, will try for their
fourth triumph of the season against
the strong Eagles who are also unde
feated for the season. The Eagles
pulled out a hardearned win over the
Clemson Tigers last week after wal
loping West Virginia the previous Sat
urday. Coach Jim Crowley has been work
ing his men hard this week in an ef
fort to prime his men against the
vaunted Boston outfit. He has laid
particular emphasis on pass defense,
an angle of the game that the Cloud
busters have looked weak on in their
previous games.
The strong Cloudbuster running at
tack that looked good against State
last week has been looking good in
practice this week and Crowley is in
high hopes that his star backs may
get loose against the Eagles. A very
close contest is expected with both
clubs striving to maintain their un
beaten records.
The Cloudbusters will entrain to
morrow night for Boston and will hold
practice sessions at Fenway Park, site
of the game, on Friday. The squad was
at full strength yesterday.

By Charles Howe
With less than two weeks remaining
before the season's opener against
Navy, Coach Dale Ranson faces the
ticklish task of composing his best
starting line-up from a sizeable squad
of aspirants.
Senior runners who appear to have
the best chance of facing the starter's
gun at Annapolis are Captain Rich
Van Wagoner, Sim Nathan, and Chuck
Howe, all monogram earners. Other
fourth year men vieing for coveted
places are L. D. Campbell, Buck Mar
row, Lawrence Hutchins, Jack Wilkin
son and Cyrus Whitfield.
It is on the juniors, however, that
the brunt of the burden will fall. As
sophomores a year ago they came
through brilliantly to play a major role
in the Tar Heels' success. Lettermen
Frank Hardy, Tom Jewett and Dick
Hollander are back as well as three
very promising newcomers, Hall Par
trick, Howard Ennis and John West.
Aiding this sextet in upholding the
prestige of '44 are Charlie Johnson,
Jim Perrin, Chet Hocker and Leon
Adams.
Coach Ranson has a host of sopho
mores from which to choose, but at the
present time only George Lewis seems
ready for varsity competition. Mar
vin Fairehilds has been hampered by
a foot injury all fall but appears ready
to go again in quest of a place on the
varsity. Porter Van Zandt, Buddy
Grinstead, George Belli, Roy Gwalt
ney, Joe Belk, James Hunt, Bob Wil
liams, Neil Gilbert and Jake Break
stone are gradually rounding into con
dition and will be heard from before
the season closes.

Heels' success. Other conference
schools have their individual stars but
usually come out second best through
inability to match the Ransonites'
depth. Dale Ranson's chief worry at
present is not whether he has quantity,
but whether he has any quality to go
along with it. Hell get his answer
on the afternoon of Saturday, October
24th at Annapolis, Md.
Restrictions on use of taxicabs in
New York City will save 107 million
taxi miles annually, 15,000 new tires,
the same number of recaps and 10 mil
lion gallons of gasoline.
Coach Jim Tatum put his varsity
football forces through a long work
out yesterday afternoon despite the
cold and wet weather. Whether or not
the Tar Heels were prepping for an
unknown opponent this Saturday or
just starting work for the Tulane game
on the 24th was unknown to the play
ers themselves.
Tatum spent most of the time cor
recting the -mistakes made by the Tar
Heels against Fordham in their mighty
defensive stand. The Carolina club
made a superb defensive showing
against the Rams in Saturday's score
less deadlock, but there were still a
few mistakes that needed to be recti
fied.
Passing Drill
Earlier in the afternoon, the backs
and ends went through a long passing
drill while the linemen practiced block
ing and pulling out.
The field was slippery in the murky
afternoon haze and the players were
having difficulty staying on their feet
as they went through a dummy scrim
mage. The linemen were the only men
involved in contact work as Johnny
Pecora did most of the ball carrying.
Sigler and Tandy Injured
Bill Sigler and John Tandy are the
only injured members of the Tar Heel
squad. Sigler has a charley-horse that
hinders his running and kicking, while
Tandy, sophomore end star, has a
bruised arm. Neither man's injury is
serious and both will be okay in a day
or two. Tandy took part in the work
out yesterday, but his arm was all ban
daged. Other members of the squad
missing practice yesterday were sopho
mores Billy Myers, who played 54 min
utes against Fordham, Chan High-
smith, who was in the game for 52
minutes, Ralph Strayhorn and Walt
Pupa, all of whom were busy with
NROTC activities,
Craven Turner continued to draw
well-deserved praise for his play
against the Rams. The junior end from
Raleigh played the greatest game of
his career. All writers in New York
papers said that the Tar Heels' Turner
was one of the best ends seen this
season.
Wolf, Highsmith Starred
Other men who also have been com
mended for their great play against
the Rose Hill lads are senior tackle
Joe Wolf and the great Tar Heel sopho
more center, Chan Highsmith. Wolf
was in the Fordham backfield all after
noon and was a constant thorn in the
Rams'" side. Highsmith backed up the
line in stellar style for the greater part
of the game.
