FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1942 THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE THREE Undefeated Tai lee m CI - t 1 . . wmy Balbiies t .Blme .Imps Tar Heels Hold Last Heavy Practice Sport Sidelines By Bill Woestendiek Tomorrow is the big day! One of the South's annual classics will un fold in Kenan stadium when Duke battles Carolina. The Tar Heel-Blue Devil clash is always the biggest sporting event in the state, and this year's struggle is no exception. True, tomorrow's game doesn't have as much national significance as some past Carolina-Duke clashes, but the tussle still holds an enor mous amount of interest and, de spite transportation, difficulties and the like, a large crowd is expected to witness a terrific battle. If we are to go by the jinx that has been operating on recent Tar Heel elevens, the thrice-beaten Blue Devils from Durham should win to- tomorrow, for in past years, Carolina has been able to win every third year, only. The Tar Heels won in 1937 and in 1940, and according to the afore mentioned theory, don't figure to win again until next year. The game will mark the first meeting between a pair of new head coaches, Tim Tatum of Carolina and Eddie Cameron of Duke. Both took over their new jobs this year. Ta tum has done a remarkable job in making a winner out of a young team that pre-season experts rank ed in the lower half of the South ern conference. Cameron has not been so fortunate, but the loss of several key players throughout the campaign has hindered the Devils no end. The visitors are expected to be at full strength tomorow, how ever, and the Duke club will enter the fray in the role of the favorite, a position the Devils have occupied for several years now against the Tar Heels. Both teams uncorked impressive demonstrations last Saturday serving notice that they will be roaring to go tomorrow in what should be a great football game. The Carolina passing attack, displayed in the rout of Dav idson last week, may see a lot of ser vice tomorrow. It has been said that the team that beats Duke must be able to pass. If such is the case, the Tar Heels should not be sold short, for Shot Cox, Billy Myers, Walt Pupa, and Johnny Pecora are all precision thev have several excel lent receivers. The Carolina line will face a stiff test, but it has already COAL Keep Your Bin Filled. FITCH LUMBER CO. Phone 7291 FOUND! IN CHAPEL HILL GOOD FOOD QUICK SERVICE Reasonable Prices ALL AT THE CAMPUS CAFE Tank' Marshall Returns to Action In Long Workout Tar Heel hopes for a triumph over Duke tomorrow have been greatly strengthened by the return to heavy action of co-captain Tank Marshall who has been sidelined for almost three weeks with an old knee injury. The injury has finally responded fa vorably to trainer Chuck Quinlan's daily massages and Marshall has been declared ready and set for action against the Blue Devils tomorrow. Marshall was outstanding yester day as the Tar Heels underwent their last major drills for the Devils. The squad went through all its stock of plays thoroughly and touched up on its defensive formations which they hope will stop the powerfuf Duke run ning attack paced by Moffat Storer, Tom Davis, Buddy Luper, and Bobby Rute. The squad will taper off today with a light drill consisting mostly of run ning through plays, practicing kick offs, and brushing up on the defenses which Coach Jim Tatum has been laying special emphasis on this week. Shot Cox, who was hurt in scrim mage. Wednesday in a collision with Doc Blanchard, freshman star, did not take an active part in the session yesterday but reported in sWeat togs and took light exercise. Whether he will be ready for action tomorrow is still problematical but he may only see limited service. If he does not play, the vital tailback post will be handled solely by sophomore flash Billy Myers and senior Johnny Pecora who really showed that he was back in shape with a sparkling performance against Davidson last week. After be ing out of the lineup for the first six games, Pecora passed to Rivers Join son for one touchdown against the Wildcats and Coach Tatum is expect ing him to see plenty of action to morrow. Major Casualty Only major casualty on the Tar Heel squad is Ed O'Shea, reserve center, who will definitely be out of the game with injuries suffered in practice last Monday. But his absence will be made up for by the presence of Chan Highsmith and Ray Jordan, both of whom have been turning in brilliant showings at the pivot position. Tatum -and the coaching staff have been paying particular attention this week to the Carolina defenses which have proved rather vulnerable on numerous occasions this season. The Tar Heel forward wall, which has shown up well in practice, will be a determining factor in the outcome of the game with the Dukes basing most of their attack on their hard-charging and tricky backfield corps. If the Tar Heels can hold this weapon in check, they may be able to stop the Blue Devils. Reports from the ticket offices late yesterday gave indications that a capacity crowd of over 35,000 would be on hand tomorrow in Kenan to wit ness the 28th renewal of the annual classic. Less than 8,000 seats, most of them in the temporary stands above the concrete stands and at the two ends of the field, were still on sale. The ticket-offices will be open all day today and tomorrow until 12 o'clock when the tickets go on sale at tne sta dium gates. Neither team will actual ly be favored and another thrill packed battle is in prospect for the fans. , , if -u - .- J r , f r , A t 1 aS 5?

A victory today would give the Tar Babies undisputed claim to the Big Five freshman championship, but a Duke win would throw the title into a tie. .

The powerful Duke running attack is to be feared by Tar Heel players and fans, for such backs as Bobby Rute, Buddy Luper, Gordon Carver and Tom Davis are capable of doing a lot of running.

Coached By Casey Coached ably by Ralph Casey, now Ensign Casey of the Pre-flight staff, the Baby Dolphins set an American record, two college freshman long course records, won the National Junior AAU outdoor high diving championship, and finished third in the National Jr. AAU indoor 400 meter relay championships. George Whitner broke the Ameri can record when he covered the 100 meter breaststroke in 1:14.9. The col lege marks went to Percy Mallison as he covered the 50-meter freestyle in 24.8 seconds and the 220 in 2:26.4. The diving title went to Buddy Crone, and Mallison, Whitner, Erie, and Little combined to take third place in the relay. Individual Ratings On the basis of these and other per formance the Baby Dolphins won in dividual high ratings among the country's freshmen which is equiva lent to All-American selection. Malli son rated first in the 100 meters, third in the 50, and fourth in the 220. Whitner rated first in the individual medley, second in the breaststroke, and seventh in the 440. Crone rated fourth in the diving and Erie took the next place. The Baby Dolphin med ley relay was ranked sixth and the freestyle relay was rated fourth. These Baby Dolphins and their teammates are now full fledged Blue Dolphins and will combine with last year's veterans to form what should be another outstanding swimming team for Carolina. The Tar Heels have won their last 17 dual meets and are now working hard to protect and extend that rec ord. They will also be after their fourth consecutive conference title and will endeavor to improve their standing in national competition.

NROTC "B" 29, District 2A 0 Phi Gamma Delta 21, PiKA 0 WATER GOAL DKE 4, Phi Delta Theta 1 BADMINTON SAE 2, Chi Psi 1 Kappa Sigma had no opposition as they rolled to a 41-0 victory over an outclassed Sigma Chi team. This was the winners eighth straight triumph, iand the sixth straight loss for Sigma Chi. No one person could be given credit for being the best player for the win ners because the whole team was very well organized and they completely bewildered their opponents. One of the freakish plays of the season occurred during this game. The losers- were backed up behind their own goal-line and Konz went back to punt. His punt went straight up and fell down into the waiting hands of a Kappa Sig man who merely had to touch the ball to the ground. NROTC "B" also remained undefeat ed as they shut out District 2A, 29 0. Brown and Peel, proved very ac curate with their passes and this was the cause of their opponents' down fall. Shaw for the losers also proved to be a very accurate passer. Phi Gamma Delta kept pace with the other leaders by trouncing PiKA 21-0. Parsley and Moneman tossed sev eral passes for the tallies. The. Phi Gamma Delta passing attack was still invlunerable if it completely fooled the losers. Moore and Touloup play ed fine defensive games for the PiKAs. Beta won over KA in a free scoring contest, 18-9. Frazier and Sayars led the way for the winners with excel lent running and passing. Huntley and Sheeping shone for the losers both on offense and defense. - Whitehead No. 2 shut out Kappa Psi, 19-0. Brantley, and Hicksay led the offense for the winners, while Al len and Britt were the leaders for Kappa Psi. Sigma Nu used the passing of Clark, James, and Parker to their advantage as they defeated Phi Sig ma, 19-7. Stedman, Perrin and Hippie were outstanding for the losers. In water goal DKE took a four 4-1 decision over Phi Delta Theta. The game was very rough and exciting throughout. SAE took a 2-1 victory over Chi Psi in badminton. The matches were very close, and some beautiful rallies took place. By Bob Druitt With most of the favorites coming through last week we experienced our best percentage and raised the sea son's average to 80.9, the first time we have been over the coveted point since September 26. All sections ex cept the East and Far West came through as expected. We were, wrong on nine out of 82 games played in the ! Midwest, South, West, and South west. Holy Cross, Princeton, Penn, and Syracuse were the casualties in the east, and California, UCLA, and Washington fell in the far west. On the win side, Cornell came through against Yale, LSU overcame Ford- ham, Vermont upset Norwich, and Ursinus won its first game in two years against Drexel to present the best picks in the East. In other sec tions it was Mississippi . btate over Tulane, Texas A & M over SMU, Wayne over Akron, and Kenyon over Wabash. One of the biggest "little" upsets was North Dakota's victory over Morningside. Toss-Ups Some of the toss-ups this week are Cincinnati-Dayton, Minnesota-Iowa, Michigan State-Purdue, LSU-Auburn, Albama-Georgia Tech, Carolina-Duke, Georgia Navy-Tulane, SMU-Arkansas, and USC-Oregon. Major games tomorrow: ARMY over VPI ' BOSTON COLLEGE over Fordham HARVARD over Brown SYRACUSE over Colgate NAVY over Columbia CORNELL over Dartmouth GEORGETOWN over N. C. State WAKE FOREST over Geo.

The frosh had previously downed Davidson, 27 0, State, 39-7, and Wake Forest, 34-6. Power The Duke freshmen showed their power in their last start, beating State, 44-6, or a bigger margin than the Tar Babies. Buddy Mulligan led the way with scoring dashes of 63 and 58 yards. Buddy Palmer also featured with his passing and placekicked six extra points. The Blue Imps previously dropped their opener to Wake Forest, 13-7, but that loss is being discounted, as the hard-running Duke backs piled up 195 yards by rushing, and its charg ing forwards held the Baby Deacs to -15 yards for the whole game. Lange Coaches Bill Lange, coach of the Tar Babies, is being credited with developing one of the strongest freshman starting elevens Carolina has had in recent years. The Blue Imps, however, will have an edge in reserve strength, as Coach Herschel Caldwell used three full elevens against State recently, and Coach Lange can hardly muster two complete clubs for a scrimmage. The Tar Babies also are not in good shape for their big test. Jack Fitch, star wingback, and Bob Rutkowski, starting guard, are definitely out. Imp's Backfield Starting in the backfield for the Blue Imps will be Jimmie Miller and Buddy Mulligan at the halfback spots, E. K. Pittman at fullback and Fred Witzel in the blocking back position. The starting backfield foursome will average 180 pounds while the strong Duke line will average a shade under 195. John Little and John Muse will be at the end posts for the Imps. Irvis Holmes and Frank Irvin form the tackle combination, while Bill Davis and Jim Groome will be at the guard posts. Herb Cassidy will be in the pivot spot. The Duke line will face stiff opposi tion from the Tar Baby forward wall, for the Carolina frosh have been strong up front all season. The high scoring Tar Baby backfield will face a real test against the granite-like Imp line. The forward wall of the Duke frosh held the Wake Forest freshmen to a -15 yards rushing and limited the State yearlings to 10 yards. Doc Blanchard, Jim Culberson, Rusty Craver and company have a big job cut out for them this afternoon, but the hard-running Tar Baby backs haven't been stopped yet, and a great battle is in prospect.
