Speak Back From Heat of Texas Real Carolina Spirit Shown As Students Greet jTar Heels - By Chuck Hauser Real Carolina spirit was displayed Sunday night when almost 2,000 students turned out to greet the down-hearted Tar Heels as they returned from their Texas defeat. Not only were 2,000 students waiting to cheer their return at Woollen gymnasium, but a siz able crowd was even at the Raleigh-Durham airport when the big Capital airlines DC-6 taxied in at 6:35. As the team, many wearing ten-gallon hats, brought back from Austin, stepped out of the plane, someone called out, "C'mon you Tar Heels!" over the hub-bub of the group. Mad Scene Meanwhile, a mad scene was being enacted in front of Wool len gym. Traffic was almost at a standstill, slowly threading its way through the packed throng that swallowed up the automo biles. As the band played "There'll be a Carolina Victory," and the crowd breathlessly awaited the first glimpse of the bus roaring up the hill from Raleigh, com pliments were heard everywhere for Head Cheerleader Myrt Sherard who had worked sinca the night before to stage the rally the way it should be done. Snavely Speaks After the team had unloaded dsPartyPlans Meet in GM Today The Campus party will meet at 4 o'clock today in the Roland Parker lounge of Graham Me morial to discuss plans for the forthcoming ' election of Yack editor and organizational plans for the coming year.

Hedgpeth listed two reasons for the prevalence of bad colds: crowding together of people from all over the U.S., and the abrupt change in temperature last week. But Dr. W. G. Morgan added another cause: the unseasonable clothing many of students have been wearing. " I saw dozens of sudents out in the rain last week without has or avershoes," said Morgan, "and T-shirts are hard ly appropriate for the cool nights lately." Morgan offered two methods of relieving colds. "Come to the Infirmary for treatment at the first sign of a sniffle," was his first suggestion. "And follow the sort of advice your mothers used to give about cool weath-er." and the bus had swayed out of sight, Coach Carl Snavely was urged to say something to the crowd. Standing on the running board of the DeSoto suburban in which he was riding,. Snavely both prefaced and closed his-re-marks with, "This is .jusj; -what the team needed. . . . Let me thank you for them." r " H Explaining the handicaps the team had been working under at Austin, the Gray Fox ex plained, "When we got off the plane at Austin, . almost every man aboard was sick. Then the terrific heat hit us. When thj game was over, hardly any of Ihe men could walk off the field. In fact, some of them could hardly walk off after playing for three minutes." Sullivan 's 80 Per Cent Wins Grid Contest In a wild scramble of 1250 entries, Dan Sullivan came out on top of last week's football contest with an .800 average. Campus prognosticators' aver ages tumbled as the majority of students missed nearly half of .... their-predictions, and -siHi save 81 entrants predicted the Tar Heels would win the UNC Texas contest. Sullivan, only entrant to pre dict the Rice-Southern Cali fornia tie, predicted the UNC score to be 21-14 in favor of I Texas. Though missing only four guesses, the same as Sulli van, David Cameron, of 201 Stacy, was declared runner-up, through having missed the Ca rolina score by a wider margin.

Last week's winner, Al Barth slump ed to a .600 average, though he came comparitively close on the Tar Heel's score prediction, with a guess of 32-28, in favor of Texas.
