TUESDAY,' OCTOBER " 5, 1943 THE DAILY TAR HEEL. PAGE THREE t y PC 3 i w 1 i i A - j ir i ' 5 The Sporting Picture i By BILLY CARMICHAEL III The Traveling Troopers TIIE TAR HEEL TRAVELING players returned home Sunday afu.r their first road show performance of the. year in the Sanford ctoek stadium at Athens, Georgia. And the critics, it seems are still l oar,cly shouting the acclaim of the Carolina footballers 'in every MJdlescx village and town. Saturday's show didn't quite match the polish and luster of the Texas triumph, but in the end everything came out in the wash except the 13 point money that went down the drain with the soap suds. The fust act wasn't the best part of the play, though the Tar I!t(.ls did handle every bit well except the Georgia goal line; they TaM couldn't get it across. After the intermission things picked up a tad. and while a hidden choir of thousands of voices hummed 'Stars and Stripes Forever," the Tar Heels marched on to victory. The critics, who had been sitting on their hands for the better part of the afternoon, released their extremities and thundered approval. The Line in Carolina CAVORTING CHARLIE JUSTICE was again the star of the Tar Med extravaganza, as he did everything possible except sell peanuts in the stands between halfs. He was the feature of the three big numbers on the Carolina side of the scoreboard and stopped the show cold in the fourth period with a dazzling punt return for l-l yards in the direction of Birmingham. Mr. Justice was splendidly assisted by a brilliant supporting cast, being backed by the best line seen around since the Follies of 93U. The defensive crew allowed the Georgians a total of 26 yards, r.nd over half of this could be attributed to some of the boys being a little offbalance on a couple of plays. The offensive line hogged its share of the spotlight. They had .seme trouble solving a Georgia defense that kept shifting like the snus ui uic oaiwu. uui iuituiv louna inat dv ouiwa tin? tnp tin i- dog boys, they could find their Snavely said they would be. Making and THE TAR HEELS were just a great team operating without a break. They eventually scored by the simple application of the old theory of if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Injuries at critical moments hurt the Carolinians badly early in the game, "Specially when Don Hartig was downed, and again when Hosea Rodgers had to leave the contest on a fourth down at the goal line. Those were the times that tried men's souls, but the Tar Heels soon learned that victory, even to a great football team, comes some Saturdays only through hard and persistent action. Georgia was v.p for the game and played in a region above their natural stature. They jumped to the fore early in the potential fiasco when a Bull dug halfback trumped in on a Rodgers to Justice pass and ran it down the Tar Heels' unguarded throats. This was the danger point, for here the Snavelymen could have folded their tents like Arabs and Georgia been long gone to the upset of the week. But poise and experience triumphed over all and the Tar Heels gained their victory legs and marched on through Georgia. y .What Might Have Been CAROLINA MIGHT HAVE beaten Georgia as bad or worse th. m it did Texas. It was prodded toward the Ueorgia goal line early in the game when the Tar Heels recovered a Bulldog fumble deep in East Georgia. Opportunity just knocked, for the door never opened. A quick score might have started the Tar Heels on the load to rout. But all in all, Carolina probably profited more by their casual .-.moll of the fumes of defeat. It keeps the feet soundly on the ground and proves all the way around that football games are still being played on grass and not on paper. Next week is another toughie for the Tar Heels.

(UP) The Cleveland Indians, a team of des tiny which ran a little behind schedule, won their first pennant since 1920 today by defeating the Boston Red Sox 8 to 3 in the first play-off game .for the flag in American League history. The Indians scored their cli mactic triumph before 33,957 suf fering Red Sox fans at Fenway Park, and won the right to meet the Boston Braves in the World Series, opening here Wednesday. In the moment of great tri umph for a game ball club, the big glory belonged to a purple heart kid pitcher, Lefty Gene Bearden. He scored his 20th vic tory and his seventh in a row by holding the slugging Red Sox to just five hits. Cold Sleel Bearden, who has aluminum plates in his head and his left leg from war wounds and iron in his arm, plus cold steel in his heart, was out there with only one day of rest. There were those who thought Cleveland's daring manager, Shortstop Lou Boudreau, had gone crazy when he put Bearden in for this historic game. But Boudreau was right. With a whole season's effort for both clubs in the balance, Bearden pitched the game of his life. Of course he had help. And most of it was provided by Bou dreau himself. As if personally accepting the responsibility for the spot he had put Bearden in, Boudreau smashed two home runs, two singles and drew a walk to pace the 13-hit Cleveland attack. Victory Tempo Boudreau set the thunderous tempo of victory in the very first inning with a lofty home run over the left field screen. That blow seemed to electrify the Indians, who appeared down cast and jittery after losing their final game of the season yester day to the Detroit Tigers. And in the fourth, another old pro, Indian Third Baseman Ken Keltner, put the game entirely beyond the reach of the Red Sox by blasting his 31st home run of the season with Boudreau and Joe Gordon on base. That blow blocked out Gale house, who also had been a sur prise starter, and the Indians went on to pick up another run in the same inning off Kinder on a double by Larry Dobv, Bob Kennedy's sacrifice, and Jim He gan's infield out, making the score 5 to 1. Bearden suffered his battle wounds with the Pacific fleet on the U.S.S. Helena when it was (See CLEVELAND, page 4) ,$S$ College Men $$$!

ROPP Carolina Gridders Begin Drills For Wake Forest Tilt Saturday Carolina's rampaging Tar Heels resumed practice yesterday after noon for the coming Wake For est encounter in Groves Stadium, Wake Forest on Saturday after noon despite the precipitation which drenched Navy Field. Coach Carl Snavely's well-laid plans were dealt a serious blow in the Georgia game last week when number one blocking back Don Hartig was carried from the field with a torn ligament in his knee. The injury, it is reported, will sideline Hartig for the re mainder of the campaign. Dim inutive Eddie Knox is currently slated to inherit Hartig's block ing duties. Yesterday's practice session was devoted mainly to running plays and setting up defenses to cope with the expected accurate pass ing of Wake tailback Tom Fetzer. The slender Baptist passing ace showed outstanding form as he passed for one of three touch downs and led the team brilliant ly in their 21-14 upset over the William and Mary Indians. As in last week's practice ses sions, rangy ends Art Weiner and Kenny Powell were being tried out at the defensive halfback posts. Billy Hayes, meanwhile, was passing a la Fetzer while the backs got in some practice on pass j defense. In addition to Hartig, several other Tar Heels were suffering injuries. Bob Cox, who has been bothered with a knee injury since last Tuesday's scrimmage against the freshman team, was in light equipment yesterday. Bill Flam isch was also suffering knee trouble, but it isn't expected to be too serious. FRANK ALLSTON.

This is the second year that soccer has been an official Uni versity rport and the Tar Heels will be out to make their second campaign even more successful than last season, when they com piled a 6-3 record. The Middies took a heartbreak er from Carolina last year and so the Blue and White outfit will have an added incentive tomor row. The score was all tied up, 1-1, at the end of the regulation period, but Navy's inside right Bentin pushed in the winning goal to give the future admirals a 2-1 decision. It was really a moral win for the Tar Heels as they had just suffered a 4-0 de feat at the hands of Loyola, whom they play here next Friday in the home opener, but rebounded to force the Middies, one of the top outfits in the East, into an extra session. Hank Pallulat, who scored the Tar Heels' only goal of the con test, is no longer in school, but there are many holdovers from last year's squad who will see action against the Middies. Men making the trip are: Joe Bach, Dave Boak, Lew Bowman, Dave Ferrebee, Lee Gliarmis, Jesse Greenbaum, Jim Gwyn, Mac Hagaman, Pete Hexner, Gus Johnston, Tom Jordan, John Langley, Duncan MacCalman, Bill Moore, Frank Nelson, Jack OLD VIRGINIA CHOCOLATE SHOP Famous jor Kitchen Fresh Quality Candies French Ice Cream 7 East Main Street Durham, N.
