? V i SUNDAY,- OCTOBER S, 1945 The Sporting Pictured C ' fiy BILLY CARMICHAEL III Business Was Slow ness iooks Ke ior a cnampionship, team on a slow afternoon It was hard on us guys with the weak hearts J "ernoon. it was The Tar Heels arrived early, starred late, scored quickly and then packed up their play things and went home. For the first half they marched up and down this Georgian soddy plain SI" soldiers on dress parade with almost military precision But when it came tune to score, the Carolina lads couldn't finTthe goal lne in their scripts. They almost had to rewrite the ending But the story of course, has a happy ending, since the Tar Heels finally came to life both in time to win the ball game and to make the night train back to Chapel Hill. 6 It was a Frank Merriwell finish or better said a Charlie Justice finish. For it was the little Carolina Comet who Lagged one Tar Heel foot out of the grave and helped shovel the dirt back in on the Bulldogs. The Second Sherman Justice was a second Sherman to the Georgians. He got booed on arrival and on departure but while in the arena led the greatest marches seen in this territory since the 18G0's. History was reversed tor this time the "C marched through Georgia Justice ran, passed and kicked with workmanlike precision that itn uui uu aesirea except through them, he ran over them, assortment of receivers, picking VVUUIllcUlS OcUUpit'X. But his single performance of lar neei nearts than the assortment of whiskeys, was his 84-yard punt return for the Tar Heels' the ball in on his own 16. faked Fred Sherman, while whipping across the field behind two helpful teammates, who escorted a pair of too-eager Georgians to some front row seats with blocks that shattered windows in downtown Athens. On reaching the far sidelines Justice cut up-field, dusting down the outside marker to. the Georgia 30,' where he faked a straggling Bulldog into oblivion and rode off into the sunset. One can live on that for at least a week. Justice for All The Justice also .added the other two Tar Heel teedees. In the third period when the odds and shadows were beginning to fall on the Carolinians, young Charles finally broke the ice his team mates' had been chopping at all afternoon. As the story had gone all afternoon, the Tar Heels had driven deep down in dark Georgia territory the nine-yard line on this occasion. From here, Justice took it almost on his own on a Sally Rand play to the right that left the Georgia boys hollering, "Has anyone here seen Charlie?" The other touchdown was another Justice masterpiece. This time he took a spinner from Hosea Rodgers, zooming up the middle for a meager 14 yards, but a mighty big Tar Heel touchdown. San ford's electric scoreboard lit up with everything but "God Bless America." One fact must be recognized. Justice , went little of the more than a quarter of a mile he traveled today without a personal escort fiom a bunch of guys who will knock someone down for you and then get up and knock someone else dwn. The Summary Today's game proved one thing to one writer: You can look darn good, while looking darn they're going to decide the American league next year by the team with the most men left on base. Also shown was the great pressure that a great team is always playing under. May the roof not fall fof another eight weeks! And there must be conjuncted a line about possibly the greatest line in America. Both on offense and defense they are a marvel to behold from the stands, that is. Pity the guy that drives the truck lor the team that opens the hole big enough to drive a truck through. All of which proves that when Sherman said "War is Hell," he must have been talking abut fighting it in Georgia. Georgia Tech Scores ATLANTA, Oct. 2 (UP) A powerful Georgia Tech team used two razor - sharp touchdown thrusts and a fool-proof second half defense to score an easier-than-it-sounds 13-7 victory over Tulane today before a capacity crowd of 40,000. A stream of unspectacular but effective Tech backs, led by Jim my Southard, Frank Ziegler, Bob McCoy, and Buster Humphreys, got an early jump on an offen sively Weak Tulane eleven. ef r FHed Chicken TODAY at HARRY'S - EyfewHiJT tfwtXW with I -that evening... 1 them, area NNee...

Jusfice's Choo Choo's Trip In Final Quarter Thrills Big Crowd (Continued from page 1) kick-off, to the Georgia 22. Geor gia took the ball over when Car olina failed to gain a first down. Justice Calms Fears In bewildering silence, the Car olina crowd began to wonder if the second-half would be a repe tition of the first. Their fears were soon calmed as twelve plays later, the Carolina Choo-choo went into the end-zone for his first score. The scoring play was a nine-yard juant over the weak side tackle by Justice after he and Kennedy had collaborated to run and pass Carolina into scoring position from the Carolina 25. Bob Cox's place ment split the up-rights for his first of three points-after-touchdown. Carolina went ahead for good shortly afterwards when they scored their second touchdown, Justice again going over for the six points. After Georgia failed to po anything following Mike Ru- bish's barefoot kick-off, Justice and Rodgers moved the ball in two plays to the Georgia 14. Choo-choo Down The Middle Rodgers faked a pass and hand ed the ball to the Choo-choo, who went right down the middle to score his second consectutive touchdown. Again Bob (True Toe) Cox sent his placement spinning squareV through the goal posts, making the score 14-7 in favor of Carolina. Shortly afterwards the Tar Heel powerhouse added their third score. An exchange of kicks gave Georgia the ball on their own 48. Rauch tried two passes, both incomplete, Reid was thrown for a loss and GerL punted out. 83-yard Punt Return The phenominal Choo-choo standing on his own 17 took Geri's punt, reversed his field, faked a hand-off to Fred Sherman and went 83 yards up the field to score his third and Carolina's third. Hosea Rodgers came in for a share of credit when he threw the key block which eliminated Geri, the only man betw.een Justice and the goal line, from the play. Bob Cox, who sat out most of the game on the bench due to a knee inqury, came into the game to add his third perfect extra point placement. Following the kick-off of bare footed Mike Rubish the Georg ians could do absolutely nothing and again Geri punted out. The Tar Heels started driving goal ward from their own 38 and went all the way to the five yard line. Bill Maceyko carried the ball over, but there was a backfield motion penalty and the score was nullified. On the next play, Talit- ski intercepted a Maceyko pass and carried back to his own 22. Lone Bulldog Drive It was here that the Bulldogs were finally able to get an offen sive drive underway. With Rauch passing on every play, the Georgia eleven moved 78 yards on five completed passes. The pay-off pitch was a 29-yard toss to Lofen do. Geri again added the extra-point. "DAILY Yoro?

Charlie Justice, the Asheville Ambler whose play ai tailback has sparked Carolina in every game for the last three years, enjoyed what possibly was the best game of his career, as the Tar Heels licked Georgia. 21-14. in Athens yesierday. He scored three touchdowns, one on an 83-yard kick return. Wake Forest Looks Impressive In Trampling Indians by 21-12 WILLIAMSBURG, Van Oct. 2 (UP) Wake Forest shackled the vaunted William and Mary running attack and thrilled 16, 000 fans with deadly passing and T-formation tricks today to spring a 21-12 upset over the de fending Southern Conference champions. The inspired Wake Forest line stopped the great William and Mary fullback Jack (Flying) Cloud cold. And for Coach Pea head Walker's Baptists, Quarter back Tom Fetzer's passing and punting and Left Half Bill Greg- us' savage running kept William and Mary in too much trouble to threaten the ever-mounting Wake Forest lead. Cloud himself was battered and bruised when Coach Rube Mc Cray ordered him to the bench midway in the third period with a slashed cheek. Cloud had to be helped off the field and did not return to the game,- though his injury was not considered serious. William and Mary fumbles, re covered by alert Wake Forest End Ed Bradley, set up the first two Baptist touchdowns. TARHEEL Mot Carolina Win Cornell Scores Upset Over Navy Club, 13-7 BALTIMORE, Oct. 2 (UP) Cornell proved to Navy's luck less Midshipmen today that things are pretty tough all over in the football world as they scored a 13-7 upset before 25,000 fans in the Babe Ruth stadium. The Midshipmen, hoping for better things under a new civil ian head coach, George Scuer, had figured at least that they would be able to topple Cornell, the one team, on their 1947 sched ule that they were able to beat. But it didn't work out that way. Cornell, scoring its second straight victory, grabbed a 13 point lead in the second quar ter, Jeff Fleischmann going over for both touchdowns. Both scores came after the upstate New! Yorkers intercepted long passes by Reaves Baysinger.

Cfmenes Duke Tied Again, This Time by Vols In Durham Game DURHAM, Oct. 2 (UP) Duke and Tennessee battered each other to an ineffectual 7-7 dead lock today before 22,000 fans whose principal thrills came from the aerial genius of Tennessee's tailbacks J. B. Proctor and Hal Littleford. Tennessee's one score came on a Proctor pass. Duke's slipshot air attack under cloudy skies set up the other touchdown but need-? ed an assist from Tennessee. Duke scored the first time it got the ball and then settled down to its defensive chores, of fering neither a dangerous pass ing attack nor a sustained ground drive. Good Runback Duke wingback Tommy Hughes grabbed the first kickoff on his own 12 and hauled it back to the 42. Fullback Paul Stephanz plow ed for a first down in three plays and Tailback Fred Folger passed from the Tennessee 45. Tennessee blocking back Jack Armstrong intercepted the pass on his 28 but fumbled it in a savage tackle, and Quarterback John Montgomery pounced on the ball for Duke. Two plays later Folger passed from , the 28 to End Ed Austin on the three and the big flank man went over. End Mike Sou- chak made the extra point. Take to Air Tennessee took to the air with Littleford pitching shovel passes over the line or neat, high aerials to End Kenneth Powell. Then in the second period Ten nessee's Proctor on the Duke 40 plopped a long aerial into Pow ell's arms, 30 yards downfield. Powell's momentum carried him to the goal line and he slid into the end zone on his stomach. NC-Ga. Statistics Ga.

Ala., Oct. 2 (UP) Sailin' Ed Salem, a curly-topped Syrian from Birmingham today tossed a last-second touchdown pass and kicked the extra point to gain Alabama a 14 to 14 tie with Vanderbilt before a capacity-crowd of 36,000. The gun sounded to end the game as Salem picked out quar terback JackBrown with an eight yard pass just inside the Vander bilt end zone. The largest foot ball crowd in Alabama history, dedicating Mobile's new Ladd Memorial stadium, saw the Crim son Tide fight back brilliantly earlier in the fourth quarter to tie the Commodores at 7 to 7 and then come from behind a few minutes later to get the final deadlock. Big Line ' Vanderbilt, it's big line out charging Alabama, also bombed the Tide through the air to begin long drives for its two touch downs. A bevy of scatbacks from Vanderbilt outpassed and outran the Crimson until the final Ala bama drive. Salem, the successor to Harry Gilmer, hit his targets eight times when Alabama started its tying touchdown drive from the Vandy 48. He passed once to Brown for 13 yards, then to Brown again for eight and to Ralph Cochran for a first down on the Vandy 25. Salem hit Brown again for eight and right half Clem Welsh for the same. With 18 seconds to go he missed his mark twice, once toss ing into the end zone stands. But with the clock ticking past the zero hour he found Brown for a payoff pass. Salem, a sophomore, completed 11 out of 22 tosses for 118 yards. The Commodores were cleverly the masters of the field for three periods. They got started in the second quarter after neither team made a first down in the opening period. Bobby Berry passed over the Alabama defense to Bud Curtis for 42 yards to the Alabama 26. Rich Scores Berry tossed out of a bottle neck to Joe Hicks for four, Mag Robinson circled left end for five and Berry hit the line for one. Herb Rich, a Miami Beach boy, spun through the line from the four to score. Alabama reached the Vandy 10 yard line during the first half but lost the ball on a fumble by Red Noonan of Mobile. Alabama started its first touchdown drive by a 44-yard pass from Salem to Rebel Steiner over Hicks' head. Alabama 0 0 0 14 14 Vanderbilt 0 7 0 7 14 Touchdowns: Rich, Salem, Dav idson, Brown.

A Cleveland victory over De troit in Cleveland in the final game of the season, would give the Indians the pennant no mat ter what the Red Sox and Yanks do in Boston. If Cleveland loses and New York wins, the Indians still would get the title. Butjf Cleveland loses and Boston wins, the race will end in an Isdian-Boston tie and a playoff game will have to be played Monday. Five Run Frame The Indians won their game with a five-run inning. Until then, it was a tense, scoreless game with Detroit making sev eral mild threats against the jittery Tribe. Three doubles and two Detroit errors produed the five runs which pushed Cleveland to with in reaching distance of its first championship since 1920. As Cleveland blanked Detroit defenses before 56,000 home park fans, the Red Sox were paralyz ing the Yankees in Fenway park, Boston, and earning a 5 to 1 victory. By winning, Cleveland remain ed one game ahead of the Sox with a game to go. But had tha Indians lost, as they did Friday, then Cleveland and Boston would have been tied for first place. , Early Lead Boston teed off early on the Yanks when Ted Williams soar-t ed a home run with a teammate on base in the bottom of the first inning. The Sox again tal lied twice in the third and counted a fifth run in the fourth. Jo Dimaggio limped across the plate with the lone Yankee run in the seventh. So now the chips are down for Sunday the blue chips. The Indians will pitch their fireball star Bobby Feller, against the Tiger ace Hal Newhouser. In Boston will be an equally im portant game. Boston can lick the Yankees again and still be cut short of the pennant. All Cleveland has to do to clinch the flag is to win one more game. - t BASEBALL Results NATIONAL LEAGUE New York 8-1.
