MUDDY MUDDLE
THERE COMES A TIME in everyone's life when the weather
3u not suned to play football or any other outdoor Tctfvfty
aj that iS exactly the conditions that both Par Heel footballer
,r.a fo lowers ahke were forced to contend with in order to do and
tee battle with the Terrapins of the University of Maryland last
Saturday m Washington. Man, it was awful
The rain, which might be classified as "a driving mist began
to tall early Saturday morning and by game time, Griffith sta
d.um, whose groundskeeper must be on vacation, was neither fit
place lor man nor beast. The expression here's mud in your
eye-was the order of the day. But some 22,000 fans did show
up and s., t it out, through bullheadedness or diehardedness one
and were well rewarded for their efforts '
FOR CONSIDERING the effects of the weather, the game was
an absorbing one. The Tar Heels confined solely to their ground
game all day, began to march the very first time they had the
ball, or better said, big Walt Pupa began to march. The Carolina
fullback carried the ball a total of 32 times during the day rum
bling through the Maryland line with truckline efficiency. There
vei-e holes there though, which always helps out. '
as was being said, the Tar Heels moved the first time they
got the ball, but on this drive and the rest of those they made in
Hie first three periods, the inability to spread the defense just a
v.ee bit with a pass or two because of the elements, threw a
proverbial wrench in the Tar Heel scoring plans.
Meanwhile, the Maryland entry of Coach Jim Tatum als5
found the weather to its apparent dislike, and forced to contend
with the mud of the playing field and the muddle of stout-hearted
Tar Heel linemen, just didn't go much of anywhere.
WEDGE WA11DLE
KINGPIN OFTHE TAR HEEL linemen was Bill "The Wedge"'
Vardle, who wrapped himself in all kinds of glory in standing
out among some standout line play. Even when the numbers of
the players became unrecognizable, Wardle could still be dis
tinguished making many tackles, and above it all, setting up the
first Carolina score early in the fourth period, sliding on Terp
Vic Turyn's fumble on the Maryland 17. From that point, Pupa
hustled the ball over for a score in four straight charges. "
After the first Tar Heel touchdown it seemed as though Mary
land lost most of the spirit that had previously teamed with the
weather to keep the Tar Heels in check. They all, but fell apart
at the seams shortly later, when Lou Gambino, who definitely
must not be a mudder, fumbled a lateral from the before-mentioned
Mr. Turyn, with a mud-clad figure believed to have been
Palmer Leads Way
As Maryland Gain;
Loop Championship
By Bob Goldwater
Raleigh, " Nov. 17. A new
Southern conference cross-coun
try champion was crowned here
today when the University of
Maryland, pushed into the fa
vorite's role by the absence of
most of North Carolina s top
runners, came through in fine
fashion to triumph by a wide
margin over eight other loop
teams.
Led by freshman Bob Palmer,
who ran the four-mile course in
the excellent time of -21:22, the
Terrapins were-easy victors as
they .improved by one position
on their second-place finish of
a year ago. Another Maryland
harrier, Jim Umbarger, finished
350 yards behind Palmer to nail
the runner-up' slot in 22:04.
Three more ' Maryland runners
tied for" sixth to complete their
team's scoring with the exceed
ingly low total of 24. '
Miller Turns Ankle
As for the Tar Heels and their
efforts "to retain their team title,
they were never in the running.
Their lone ' shot at individual
honors what with Jack Milne
and Sam Magill up in New York
for the IC4A meet was rudely
shattered halfway through the
race when Jimmy Miller, the
1946 winner, fell and turned an
arikle. Until the mishap, Miller, j
biding his time, was moving
along comfortably in second
place two yards behind Palmer.)

a..L. M' .nJ1 Chi Psi drew first blood

with only two-yard success on the following play, but then Charlie
Justice sloshed out wide around his own left end, slipping into
the end zone right at the flag for the next six points. .
Freshman Fred Sherman supplied the Tar Heels' last touch'
down just a few minutes thereafter, grabbing a desperation Terp
toss on the Maryland 32, and selling out . with great haste down
the sidelines for a score. All these scores took a little over seven
minutes to enact. ' . . ' .' ..
BIG JIM TATUM didn't let those down who were of the be
lief that the College Park mentor would throw all kinds of -things
at the Tar Heels. Defensively he used most everything in the book,
shifting from five to six to seven man lines with all sorts of varied
combinations. To add to the confusion, he had defensive guards,
tackles, and occasionally a few others stand in a little group in
front of the ball before each play, as if discussing telephone
numbers; the group deploying to defensive position just before
the proceedings would get under way. ' j ; .
Offensively, Tatum used most of his conventional split-T stuff,
but threw in a little double wing at the end of the game, appar
ently for variety's sake, since the Terps did not profit by the use
of it. - w
THE TAR HEELS did not have as much trouble with the
split-T as had been anticipated. They solved Gambinos' wide
game, by spreading wide and allowing the Terps to take a few
yards at the tackle holes, but never enough to do serious damage.
The key play from the split-T originates with the quarterback
taking the ball from under the center and running laterally to
ward the sidelines. He moves directly at the defensive end who
is not blockd, but is left to commit himself. If he" moves in to
tackle the ball carrier, the latter laterals off to the halfback
moving out wide; if the end drifts, the back cuts into the tackle
hole and up field. Turyn, the Maryland quarterback, ran the
play all afternoon with the Snavely strategy being to drift the end
and allow him to cut with the secondary moving up fast to min
imize the gain. This defense almost co'mpletely neutralized Gam
bino running wide and prevented any breakaway runs by the
Maryland ace.
THAT MARYLAND WOULD probably have taken the Tar
libels into camp had not the rains come, was the contention raised
by local fans and officials, but taken with a grain of salt by the
visitors from out of town. True, Maryland fumbled otten ana
disasterously during the game, but to pass all this off on the poor,

Duke-Carolina week officially began on the campuses of
the Universities of North Carolina and Duke yesterday, and
although student interest in the game was mounting steadi
ly, the respective football squads of the two schools took
things lightly in Monday
practices.
The Tar Heels of Carolina,
vVho spent this past Saturday
ploughing through a sea of
mud in Griffith stadium,
Washington, were in light
togs yesterday as Coach Carl
Snavely handed out a few
pointers and corrections of
the team's play in the 19-0
win over Maryland. A wet
field and chill afternoon were
the worst parts of the drills.
Wallace Wade's Blue Dev
ils were held to a 0-0 tie by
South Carolina in their last
outing, and the Dukes are in
for a week of intensive drills
before Wade sends his club
against the Tar Heels. Duke
started this season off in fine
style, being undefeated for its
first five games. But the Blue
Devils' have been beaten in
two of its last three games
with the tie with South Caro
lina being the other result.
The meeting will be the
32nd between the two an
cient rivals, and the series
now stands at 14 victories for
each team along with three
ties. Carolina won last year's
game,' 22-7, but prior to that
the Dukes had copped four
wins in a row during the war
period.
The Tar Heels undoubtedly
will enter the game as rather
decided favorites because of
their five straight wins thi?
