Play Tomorrow
Running plays and passing pre
dominated the heavy workout yester
day of the Tar Heel footballers as they
prepped to meet Coach Ray Wolf's
Florida Gators here tomorrow afternoon.
A light drill will be on the Tar
Heel practice menu for this afternoon
to wind up a week of brushing up on
a passing attack and a pass defense.
The footballers were in fine spirits:
in yesterday's heavy drills. A spark
and snap prevailed in the Tar Heel
camp forewarning that the Carolina
eleven will pack a victorious scoring
punch Saturday. It will be the third
home game of the season for the Tar
Heels who are out this week to show
the home folks, especially on the home
coming week end, that they plan to
give all comers a tough battle.
Virtually all the squad will be in
shape for the Florida tussle with a
few exceptions. The Navy onslaught
set the boys back at first, but for the
most part the same standbys will be
ready to play. Sid Varney, at guard,
George Sparger at end and Ernie
Williamson at tackle are the boys who
will probably remain on the sidlines
this week.

IRWIN SMALLWOOD
IT'S AN UNCERTAIN world we find ourselves in every Friday
morning, this world of the unknown that finds so many prognosti
cators casting their lot with the experts (if there are such) on the
football games of the weekend. And as usual we are plugging along
trying to wrade out of the mire that has resulted from the rain of
upsets of the stiii young grid season.
This morning, with less confidence in our predictions than ever but still
with a .657 everage, we start at the head of the list, Carolina-Florida, and
take it from there to who knows where. Elsewhere on the page we have print
ed the predictions of yours truly and several other sports men on the campus.
Last week we hit 13 for 20, with two major ties throwing things for a real
loss, but we aim for higher ground this weekend, although we pick at least
one major upset.
North Carolina-Florida: Said Snavely, "We're an overrated team playing
an under-rated team. We are in a nice position for an upset, and with that
in mind we are playing this game to win it the same as any other. We are
not going to be' saving anybody "for Tennessee or any other team we have to
play."
Carolina goes into the game badly bruised, and without three men who
were first stringers when the season started, Sid Varney, Ernie Williamson
and George Sparger. Charlie Justice was jolted, Hosea Rodgers' nose was
broken, Don Hartig was mauled in the face, and so was Chan Highsmith at
Navy.
These boys are all back and ready to start, however, with the possible ex
ception of Rodgers. The Tar Heels have picked up nicely in the passing and
running departments both this week, and although Florida is tough, we'll
say Carolina by two to three touchdowns. (
Duke-Army: Wally Wade of the Blue Devils has said that he was gunning
for Army, and his team is reputedly Set and in top shape to give the Cadets
a real battle. The bookies are giving Duke and 21 points, and we are inclined
to agree with the boys who handle the dough.
Duke has improved slightly and has great potentialities, but so has Army.
Doc Blanchard back in the groove, Glenn Davis as always, and Arnold Tucker
better than ever, well name it Army by four to five touchdowns.
Wake Forest-Tennessee: According to the Associated Press, Tennessee is
among the top half dozen teams in the nation. True, the Vols are good, for
they beat Alabama by two touchdowns. But Tennessee has shown that a scor
ing punch isn't their strongest point, and with Wake Forest a threat always,
we are inclined to see the score stay in the low figures.
We might even go so far as to say the Deacons will score on the Vols, but
Tennessee will come out on top, by at least two touchdowns.
State-Virginia Tech: Here's where we get a lot of razzing, but we asked for
it. State has beaten Duke, Clemson, Davidson and Wake Forest, all by close
scores. The Wolfpack is a good team, but not a "great" team in the eyes of
Coach Beattie Feathers himself.
And VPI is tough. The Engineers showed that against Carolina, even
though they haven't looked too good since. But we believe the VPI lads are
on the up-grade, and State is riding high. So Jet's make it VPI over State by
a touchdown or less.
Penn-Navy: This game, although nt in our realm of coverage especially,
will draw a lot of attention this week, and we want to voice our opinion.
Penn has a great ball club, one that is improved over the powerhouse that
last season trounced Carolina 49-0. And Navy is considerably weaKer man
last year. We saw Penn play last year, and Navy this year, and we'll cast
our vote for Penn by more than two touchdowns.
We don't want to slight the Carolina cross country team, a team that rose
to new heights to topple Navy and Coast Guard last week, for they have a
contest tomorrow also, with Quantico Marines at 10 a.m.
The Tar Heel hill and dale lads are a great crew, and without further ado,
it's a Carolina margin, but a whitewash score.
Picking up the loose ends : .
There's one reason for the tough battle Navy gave Carolina the most people
don't know, and that is the fact that two of Navy's best guards both used to
play for Carl Snavely and Co. The duo is Ed Golding and Jini Carrington
j , omo,ur was a starting guard for Carolina last
season, and he was one of the team's mainstays. And Carrington was a guard
and even called signals as quarterback for Snavely at Cornell before the war.
The two touchdowns that substitute fullback Walt Pupa scored for Carolina
last Saturday against Navy were the firfit of his career as a Tar Heel foot
baller. Pupa, who played here in 1942, is one of the returning GI s whose
playing has made the Carolina team a strong contender for southern honors
... Johnny Dillon, the All-American hook shot artist of the White Phan
toms, may be hooking the ball from a forward position this win te, - if present
plans come through. . .Reports from around Baltimore and Philadelphia say
that if Army goes through the season undefeated again thas year the Cadets
will make a boll appearance January 1, and that if the Big Nine ties up with
the west coast, that Army might play in New Orleans, against possibly Texas.
In the backfield Carolina fans will
probably get to see some more work of
Billy Myers and Bill Maceyko at the
tailback post and Jim Camp at wing
back. Jack Fitch will also figure in
the Tar Heel backfield for the Satur
day contest. Fitch has been hampered
all season with an injury, which has
practically healed now.

DKE No. 1 Beats Phi Delt No. 1 in Overtime
The Sigma Chi touch footballers maintained their lead in the
fraternity Red League yesterday when they won their sixth trium
ph over the Phi Kaps with a resounding 34-6 victory. Trotter,
Davis, Butt, Thompson, and Bolch scored for the victorious Sigma
Chi's. Their record of six wms and no losses is the best of any

starting members of the Duke Uni
versity football team which will go
against Army's No 1 team of the land
in New York's Polo Grounds Saturday
afternoon, hail from North Carolina.
It is truly a Tar Heel football squad
but, as southern members of the team
say, there are just enough Yankees
sprinkled through the squad's person
nel to make them suspicious of some
of these stories coming out of New
York about the Blue Devils chances
on stopping Army's unstoppable
march.
Three of the starters come from
Greensboro Louis Allen, tackle; Her
man Smith, end; and Buddy Mulligan,
halfback. Captain Milner, All Amer
ican guard in 1943 and an outstanding
contender for the honor this season, is
from Waynesville, home of Duke's first
All-America, Fred Crawford of the
1933 team. Center Fletcher Wall comes
from Lexington, Guard Ernie Knotts
from Albemarle, Quarterback Bob
Gantt from Durham, and Halfback
George Clark from Wilson.

An angry band of South Carolina
Gamecocks swept from behind in the
final period to out-play and out-rough
Clemson, the Gamecocks winning 26
14. But although- South Carolina rung
the victory bell, Clemson wrung the
rooster's neck the South Carolina
mascot rooster "Gamecock."
It was the 44th, and perhaps the
bitterest, game in this classic series
between the two state rivals, with 30,
000 fans on hand. Ten thousand of
them crashed the gate, overpowering
guards.
Not satisfied with letting the foot
ball players do the battling, the crowd
joined in at half time when Clemson j
rooters sent a commando task force!
to wring the neck of the South Caro
lina mascot. South Carolina suppor
ters poured out of the stands and po
lice had to break up the fight. The
last view of the rooster came at the
height of the battle. An observer re
ports, "He disappeared into the Clem
son crowd with his neck wrung."
In the football game battle, South
Carolina jumped to an early 12-point
lead only to see Clemipn come back to
score in both the second and third
quarters. The Gamecocks put on a
furious rally in the final period, scor
ing two touchdowns to capture the
struggle.

Basketball Squad
Holds Scrimmage
Carolina's 44-man basketball squad
ran through its first informal intra
squad scrimmage last night, as Coach
es Tom Scott and Pete Mullis con
tinued to work on plans for dividing
the court candidates into varsity and
jayvee outfits.
According to present plans, the
squad will be divided early next week,
with the candidates being placed ten
tatively on either the varsity or jay
vees according to their play in the
original scrimmages. As the season
progresses, the squads may be inter
changed according to the improve
ments of individuals.
The varsity squad of 24 men will be
fcept in Woollen gym for offensive work
scheduled next week. The jayvee out
fit, made up of the remaining 20 can
didates, will be moved into the Tin
Can as soon as it is vacated by all
students temporarily living there.
Coach Scott made it clear he was
pleased with the spirited way his squad
has gone to work on the fundamentals
necessary in pre-season practice. "I
can hardly wait until I get a polished
team together and see how they look,"
he said. ''I am pointing for two tough
battles when we make the western
swing against Northwestern and De
Paul in December."
DRESSEN RESIGNS
Brooklyn, Oct. 23 (UP) The re
signation of Charlie Dressen, the coach
who was responsible for the good work
of the Dodgers pitching staff this past
year, was "reluctantly" accepted by
the Brooklyn club today. Dressen has
been mentioned as possible manager of
the New York Yankees.
