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

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.

Yearling Grid Teams Battle
For Frosh Crown at Durham
Carolina Freshmen Can Clinch
Title By Beating Strong Imps
The undefeated North Carolina freshman eleven will close the
season with the strong Duke yearlings in Duke stadium, Durham,
at 2:30 this afternoon in a prelude to the annual Carolina-Duke
varsity classic tomorrow.
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 Tar Babies, who have rolled up 121 points in four wins,
beat Virginia 21-0 in their last start.

Frosh Mermen Ranked
With Five Best Teams
In Nation Last Year
By Herb Bodman
Although the Blue Dolphins ranked
among the first ten teams of the
country last year, the Baby Dolphins
went one better and ended up the
season as one of the first five fresh
man teams, ranking along with the
teams of Ohio State, Yale, Michigan,
and Stanford.
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.
Research in methods of storing high
octane gasoline and preventing its de
terioration is in progress at the Uni
versity of Texas.

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.

fullback, scored twice to boost his
season total to 50 points. 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.
