.THE DAILY TAR HEEL - PAGE THREE
The Sporting Picture-
By BILLY CARMICOAEL III
The Thundering Herd
A THUNDERING HERD OF TEXAS LONGHORNS will bull
their way into Kenan stadium this afternoon to do what many
T,xanS and numerous bookies alike would call somewhat dubious
batiIo. The dubious part seems to center around the football team
of University of North Carolina who are said to need a seven to
20 point handicap to even enter the playing field
With the Texans a greater part of all this pre-game patter is
J ""' uuw" in e i.one Star areas, Texas is
next to cleanliness. But the bookies are something to think about
v.ith the utmost intensity before choosing between school and
poverty. The Wizards of Odds have never played for the love of
the game. . . . ,w
wuuUUll, nuiua uumes in irom the Tar Heel side of the
field with a Gregorian chant of "The bigger the pride, the harder
they fall." Seems the local lads are not to frightened by rotogravure
reputations. They remember what Bill Southworth told the Cards
cne recent year in the World Series against the Yankees: "Don't
let them scare you, boys, they put their pants on the same way
you do one leg at a time." The Texans, say an observer, also
follow this practice.
Somebody's Wrong
THUS DEVELOPED IS A CONFLICT of ideas Texas thinks
they'll romp over the Tar Heels while the Carolina team is not
yet ready to burn Atlanta. The truth of the matter is that neither
team is weak at doing most anything. They were both built to
be the nation's best and both, the Longhorns with Cherry on top
and the Tar Heels with Snavely at the helm, have achieved most
of their purpose.
Texas sports what many consider the biggest and fastest line
in the country, together with a herd of cow pony backs that don't
have much trouble keeping up with the big boys in front. Yet,
besides the fact that this team won nine of ten games last year,
averaged 28 points a game, stomped Alabama in the Sugar Bowl
and creamed LSU last week, they haven't been too impressive.
The Tar Heels, on the other hand, don't claim much weight
or much speed. In fact, they're yet to make a claim, preferring
to wait and take their chances on staking out a few in the Texas
end zone this afternoon.
T Against Stnglewing
THE GAME WILL ALSO OFFER an interesting contrast of
offenses. A great T-teai against a possibly great single-wing team.
The Texas and their T will depend primarily on speed and decep
tion with hand-offs and pitch-outs that make you think a fellow
going to steal second base when he makes a sudden break for center
field. Power in the T is secondary. It will be primary in the single
wing attack of the locals, where the object is to put the maxium
,,v,kDt. ryf voMroro in fmnt nf thp hall carrier. This power will
Hh i Chr rrv exDects to start
be used to move neavier lexans, wuu muugm. men. ,
v, Km in AnH tWp is at least enoueh deception in the single- Gorgeous George McCall, a hand-
wing to fool some of the people, some of the time.
A lackadaisical conclusion is that defense will take a back seat
throughout most of the afternoon, a statement that will bring
denials of emphasis from both sides. The question is "When will

.Passing could very well de-'
cide the game. Last year it was
Bcbby Layne's aerials that were
largely responsible for the crush
ing , Carolina defeat, but Layne
has graduated. Thus the burden
of passing has fallen to Layne's
replacement, Paul Campbell. Ob
servers close to the Texas team
report Campbell a match for
Layne in ball-handling, but he
can't match his predecessor's
passing.
If Campbell has a bad day
and Texas finds the need of going
through the air-lanes reserve
Quarterback Bill Allen may be
called in. Although only a sopho
more, Allen completed seven of
ten tosses against LSU last week,
and once connected on ten
straight passes thrown against
the first string in a practice ses
sion. Tar Heel fins should watch
him closely.
With Charlie Justice and Hosea
Rodgers doing the hurling, Caro
lina may unveil a passing attack
which will cause the visitors
plenty of trouble. In addition,
Carolina has a capable crew of
receivers in Ken Powell, Art
Weiner, Bob Cox, and Mike
Itubish.
Lineup Changes
Coach Cherry has elected to
make two late changes in the
Texas starting lineup. Regular
Fullback Tom Landry sustained
a charley horse last week in
practice and won't be ready to
open the game. In his place will
be Ray Borneman, a hard-bucking
202-pounder. He" will vie with
the Tar Heels' Rodgers as the
top fullback.
The other change will be at
right end, the post usually held
down by Dale Schwartzkopf.

A Gallant Try
ALL OF WHICH LEAVES NOTHING TO DO but pick the
winner The Daily Tar Heel's latest board of psuedo-second guess
ers have returned a split verdict in the case. Jake Wade, Tar Heel
tub thumper, and Dick Jenrette, who covers the Tar Heels, pick
Carolina. Orville Champbell, the publisher of the DTH likes
Texas, while Jeff of the local emporium of Jeff's crawls far out on
ihe limb to call a tie.

Chapel Hill Downs Oxford High Eleven, 13-6
Chapel Hill high, sciioohs Wild
cats turned in their second
straight win of the infant football
season on Friday afternoon in
Emerson Stadium by edging Ox
ford high, 13-7.
Tailback Collier Hill scored
Chapel Hill's first touchdown
with a 12-yard sweep around
end after the 'Cats had driven
53 yards in seven plays. Hill's
kick was blocked for the extra
point.
The Chapel Hill offense, which
collected 108 yards on the ground
I and 63 yards via the air lanes,
was sparked mainly by Hill and in the
fullback Bill Butler. Oxford was i timely
able to pick up 119 yards rushing
and 62 passing.
The second score for the locals
came in the final period when
Hill tossed a perfect strike to
Rus Perry, lanky end. The scor
ing play covered 30 yards. Al
though deflected by an Oxford
lineman, Hill's kick for the point
was good.
Nat Burwell, flashy Oxford
halfback, tallied the lone T-D on
a cross-buck from the three in
the last quarter. The invaders
threw several desperation passes
Liu&mg minutes, out a
interception by Butler
stymied any further Oxford scor
ing ideas.
In the first down department,
however, Oxford held a 7-5 edge.
The local club tried nine passes
and completed four while Ox
ford attempted seven and com
pleted three.
Chapel Hill journeys to Mebane
next week to engage the Mebane
high eleven in a North Central
conference contest.

Big Grid Battles
Scheduled Today
Throughout U. S.
Today is the big day as far as
King Football is concerned. All
over the South, and the entire
nation, eager fans will get their
first glimpse of the country's
top teams when almost all the
major elevens swing into action
this afternoon or tonight.
Besides the nation's headlir.er,
between Carl Snavely's Tar Heels
and Blair Cherry's powerful
Texas Longhorns, there will be
several other top-flight battles
in the South.
Sharing the spotlight with
Carolina and Texas, the Duke
State game is expected to be
one of the hottest of the camp
aign. The Dookmen came out on
top, 7-0, last year in Durham,
with an intercepted pas's being
the deciding factor in a hard
fought contest.
Wallace Wade's experienced
Blue Devils will hold a slight
edge over the Wolfpack when
the two teams tangle in Raleigh
this afternoon; partly because
they reportedly trounced Wil
liam and Mary's highly-rated
eleven last week in a secret
scrimmage.
Another game attracting much
attention is the Davidson-William
and Mary tilt at Charlotte
tonight. The Indians, led by
Jolting Jack Cloud, one of the
best backs in Dixie, are not ex
pected to have too much trouble
with the Wildcats.
In the Southeastern Confer
ence it's Georgia Tech versus
Vanderblit in the loop's outstand
ing opener. The Techmen, highly
favored to cop the conference
title, are being given the nod
over Vandy's eleven. Alabama's
Crimson Tide, defending champ
ions of the Southeastern circuit,
are expected to stop the Green
Wave of Tulane.
Led by All-American . Doak
Walker, the strong Southern
Methodist gridders, defending
champions of the Southwestern
Conference, tackle Pittsburgh in
a non-conference game. TCU.
opens against Oklahoma A and M
in a conference argument.
In the Midwest the big game
is the Purduc-Notrc Dame 'scrap.
The Boilmakers are expected to
make a strong bid for the Big
Nine title which leads to a Rose
Bowl invitation, while the Fight
ing Irish are traditionary strong.
Indiana plays Wisconsin in a
Big Nine affair.
