Footballers Show Power In Practice
PROBABLY THE MOST unheralded club on the Carolina cam
pus comes into the social spotlight this weekend. That is the
Monogram club, made up of lettermen in all the major and minor
sports here at UNC. The occasion is the football hop that will
follow the Carolina-Maryland game Saturday night.
The Monogram club, which has risen from near infancy since last Septem
ber to its present level, is sponsoring the dance as the first in its series of
planned social functions for the fall quarter, and it is the first dance of any
note to be held since the term got underway two weks ago.
Regarded by many as a minor group on the campus, the Monogramers in
reality make up one of the largest. There are almost 125 members of the
organization, which has its headquarters in the spacious building across
from the Forest theater Navy hall when the Pre-Flight School was located
here.
Only last September was the Monogram club reorganized, after a lapse
during wartime, and the group of letter winners has taken great strides in
putting the Monogramers back where they were before the war one of the
largest and most influential clubs .on campus. It was under the guidance
of Bill Ward and Jack Davies that the club got its fresh start, with co-opera
tion from Athletic Director Bob Fetzer and Coach Dale Ranson.
The club, in furnishing recreation facilities for the lettermen in all Caro
lina sports, has good possibilities in the future, and this dance Saturday night
is just the first step in furthering the club in campus social life.
Another note on the Monogram club comes out of the weekly meeting
Tuesday night. Charlie Tietjen, a trackman last spring, has been named
secretary-treasurer and is directing ticket sales for the football hop. Charlie
comes from Freeport, L. I., N. Y., and was a gunner in the army air force
during the war.
Watch the Monogramers go. They're the cream of Carolina athletes.
Dropping by the track yesterday afternoon we saw the trophies that Dale
Ranson and the other directors are giving as prizes in the decathalon being
planned for early November . . . "It's going to be a big affair," Ranson hol
lered as we journeyed on down to where the Tar Heel footballers were work
ing out . . . And his track boys potent as they are were working faith
fully, even in the mire that the rain so benevolently stirred up during the
past two days.
If the game Saturday is played in the rain, or on a muddy field, the Tar
Heels should be ready for it. Coach Carl Snavely, always on the go drilling
his football charges, had the gridders running plays full speed amid the
slippery conditions yesterday . . . The slickest thing on the field" was the ball,
and how!
Charlie Jet-Job Justice ranks as the fourth highest ground-gainer in the
nation as of last weekend. The Carolina Choo-Choo has piled up 236 yards
in 22 tries thus far, nearly 11 yards a try. His best have been 68-yard and
66-yard runs against VPI and Miami. The versatile scatback for the Tar
Heels added 27 yards in two passes against Miami, on top of the running.
Still football: It seems that we failed a little in the weekend coverage in
not giving little Don Hartig all the credit which he deserved.. Hartig, who
was laid up during the VPI game with a broken hand, was very much in the
Miami game, cast on hand and all, and H? quarterbacking and blocking meant
. lot in the Carolina offense . . . Chan Highsmith, standout Carolina center,
who served about 26 months in the Merchant Marine during the war, has
been consulting his draft board during the first of the week, no outcome avail- I
able . . . Snuffy Stirnweiss, the New York Yankee second baseman, was backl
on the practice field in his role as assistant coach yesterday, witn tne tradi
tional plug of tobacco in his jaw . . . Said Stirny about the World Series:
"It's going as it should be." Of Boo Ferris, "He's plenty good!"

George Stirnweiss, above, star

pus now in his post as assistant
football coach. Snuffy's return to
Tar Heelia after the end of ' the
regular season was delayed because
he was playing with an all-star
team against the Boston Red Sox
during the Card-Dodger playoff.
Mural Football
Halted Again;
To Start Today
Old Jupiter Pluvius asserted him
self for the second straight day yes
terday to delay the opening of the
touch football season again on ac
count of rain.
The season, which was to start
Tuesday, has been put off until today
by the steady downpour of ram
which has descended on the campus,
flooding the playing fields.
Today's games will be played as
they are scheduled if the fields are
dry enough to play on. Yesterday's
and Tuesday's games will be re
scheduled and probably will be played
some time next week.
' Speaking of the World Series, it appears as though our opinion on the rest
of the playoff was not too good. But well stick by our hunch that the Cards
may make it in seven games . . . Ferris was hot today, but the Card batters
are due and Tex Hughson may get the ire of the Red Bird batsmen today.
George Munger is slated for mound duty with the Cards, with Howie Pollet
being saved for the fifth game.
Back to football, Eddie Allen said yesterday in the Charlotte Observer that
Hugh (Shot) Cox, former Carolina tailback star, had signed with the Green
Bay Packers and would finish school this year before reporting. Cox quit
the Carolina squad last week . . . Chunk Simmons, who was rumored to have
also quit the squad, played a bang-up game at Navy with the Jayvees and
is likely to work with the varsity from now on . . . School spirit should tri
umph this year over the painting and defacing of Duke and Carolina prop
erty. There's a move on already to stem any action.

Wrestlers Work Out
On Daily Schedule
Early fall practices in the wrestling
room at Woollen gym are being held
on a daily basis now, with Hobart
Mclver and Hobart Pardue taking
care of coaching duties until Head
Coach Chuck Quinlan finishes with
his football training assignment.
Some 30 boys are working out in
the Tar Heel mat room, stressing de
velopment at present rather than con
dition. The season gets going Janu
ary 15, and most of the time before
Christmas will be devoted to instruc
tion. There are several returning letter
men from last and previous years, but
all students interested in the sport
are urged-to go out immediately and
begin work for the tough year ahead.
QUARTERBACKING PLEASES
Don Hartig, 19-year-old Mansfield,
Ohio, boy, did such a good job at
quarterbacking for Carolina against
Miami he is expected to start at that
post again against Maryland at Cha
pel Hill Saturday. Hartig had to miss
many weeks of practice.and the Vir
ginia Teeh game because of a broken
hand. He still wears a cast.

plaint box is in the YMCA office.
Boston, Oct. 9 (UP) Behind the
brilliant six-hit pitching of Dave Fer
ris, the Boston Red Sox defeated the
St. Louis Cards, 4-0, in the third
game of the World Series here today.
The victory gave the Red Sox a one
up edge in the series.
The payoff came in the very first
inning.
First baseman York the same boy
whose homer beat the Cardinals in
the opener did it again.
There were two out when York
came to bat against little Murry
Dickson, the St. Louis starter. Two
Boston runners were on the sacks
Johnny Pesky who had singled and
Ted Williams who had drawn an in
tention pass.
Dickson worked cn York carefully
... no doubt remembering that hom
er in St. Louis. The count went to
three-and-two. Then Dickson came in
with a change of pace pitch York
dug in swung and some 36,000
Boston fans went crazy.
It was a homer into the left field
screen. York lumbered home behind
Pesky and Williams. And the Boston
fans were confident that the Bosox
were in.
The way Dave Ferriss was fogging
them past the Cardinal batters proved
it as the game went on.
In the first and second innings, St.
Louis didn't get a ball out of the in
field. Marty Marion got an infield sin
gle in the third. Then Ferriss throt
tled the Cards again in the fourth
without letting them get the ball out
of the infield.
In the sixth, it looked as if the
Cards might come to life. But bril
liant fielding on the part of Boston's
centerfielder little Dom DiMaggio
snuffed a potential rally. Pitcher Mur
ry Dickson led off with a ringing
double.
- Second baseman Red Schoendienst
the second batter up then looped a
tricky fly out into short center. It
looked like a sure hit.
But the speedy DiMaggio came
tearing in, made the grab and then
doubled Dickson off second.
After that heart-breaker from the
St. Louis standpoint, at least the
Cards just couldn't solve Ferris. And
the big righthander who won 13
straight at Fenway Park this year
made it 14 in a row with a neat
six-hitter.
St Louis 000 000 0000 6 1

Tar Heels Drill On Muddy
Turf For Maryland Tussle
Stan Marczyk, Ernie Williamson Lost
For Game Saturday; Highsmith Works
If the Carolina gridmen show as much power in their running:
attack against Maryland as they did in yesterday's practice ses
sion, Tar Heel fans can expect a good offensive display in Satur
day's clash with the Terrapins. Although somewhat hampered
by the muddy going underfoot, the$-
Tar Heels spent most of yesterday's
drill in running through some snappy
power plays with both the forward
wall and backfield showing up well.
Center Chan Highsmith took part in
his first practice of the week, having
been called to his home in Georgia.
Two other linemen will see little if
any action against the Old Liners.
Stan Marczyk may not be able to play
due to an injured ankle and Ernie
Williamson is almost definitely com
mitted to the sidelines with a knee
injury.
Scouts Emphasize Danger
Despite the licking suffered by
Maryland last week at the hands of
Richmond, the Tar Heels gave no
semblance of taking the forthcoming
game lightly. Scouts Jim Gill and
Crowell Little have emphasized to
the squad that the Terrapins, with
their fearful "T" formation, will be
dangerous and obviously had an "off"
afternoon when stung by the under
dog Spiders.
The Maryland squad of 35 players
leaves Washington tomorrow evening
and will practice at Chapel Hill Fri
day afternoon, although staying in
Raleigh. The meeting between Caro
lina and Maryland will be the first
between the two teams since 1936,
when the Tar Heels came away with
a 14-0 triumph.
Blue Devils Seek
To Kill Navy Jinx
DURHAM, Oct. 9 For the fourth
time in as many years the Duke. Blue
Devils will seek the solution to Navy
power and attempt to break the Mid-
die jinx when the two teams clash in
Baltimore Stadium on Saturday.
In the recent series between Duke
and Navy, the Midshipmen have made
a clean sweep of three games played.
In the past two years, the Blue Devils
have failed to cross the Navy goal.
The Middies handed Duke its only
defeat in 1943, 14-13, and followed it
up with 7-0 and 21-0 shutouts in 1944
and 1945. From 1927 through 1930,
Navy and Duke met four times with
Navy winning three. Duke's lone win
came in 1930 by 18-0.

Deacon-State Game
Oct. 19 Sold Out
RALEIGH, Oct. 9 (UP) The
State-Wake Forest game October 19
at Wake Forest looms as a natural
and is virtually a sellout.
Chances are both teams will come
up to the contest with unbeaten rec
ords. And the outcome of the game
may go a long way toward determin
ing the Southern conference cham
pionship. State meets a high-scoring David
son college team in Raleigh Saturday
night, and Wake Forest tangles with
twice-beaten Clemson in Wake For
est Saturday afternoon.
Allen Preps Soccer Recruits
Hard For Opening Encounter
With the first tilt of the season less than two weeks away, the soccer squad
underwent a snappy workout yesterday under the watchful eye of Coach
Marvin Allen. The team will make its debut here with Virginia October 18
on Fetzer Field. Commenting on the team, Coach Allen seemed well pleased
with the way the crew was rounding
into shape although many of the boys
are having difficulty getting their
feet accustomed to the regulation
shoes. A great many of the thirty-
five man squad is suflering irom
severe blisters which hinders them

considerably in running.
Coach Allen also stated that as yet
all of the starting berths are wide
open. However, by the end of the
week he will have a fairly good idea
who will constitute the first eleven
men to take the field against the
Cavaliers.
Emphasized in yesterday's practice
were downfield passing and working
the ball into a position for a goal.
The boys seemed to show up well in
this nhase of the game, but the out
standing feature of the session was
the blocking and guarding. A few
fundamental plays were introduced,
but more work must be done on these
to bring them to perfection.
Among the many promising as
pirants on the team is Roberto Baes
sa, who showed excellent skill and
speed which he gained while playing
at L. S. U. Many more on the squad
boast of past experience either from
high school or prep school.
WINGBACK STRONG SPOT
One of Carolina's strongest posi
tions is wingback. Jim Camp, B. K
Grow, Jr., Jack Fitch and Johnny
Clements. All are expected to see act
ion at wingback when the Tar Heels
entertain the Maryland Old Liners
at Chapel Hill Saturday.

dents: "I'll try to make my course as
painless as possiDie. 1 might even
make it interesting."
