! SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1948 THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE THREE sThe Sporting Picture om Down Virginia By BILLY CARMICHAEL III Copyright lUti, uay Tar Heel. Griddefs, 7y- Hold That Tiger WITH THE FOURTH-DOWN and still six to go, Carolina's brilliant but battered Tar Heels will be alter big game this after noon at Kenan stadium in their efforts to hold the visiting Tigers of Louisiana Slate and then annex on the side some sort of suitable victory. The game promises to be a full $3,50 worth of entertainment including the tax. The Bengals have yo-yoed up and down all season long, breaking someone's heart one week and then finding their own shattered the next. The luckless Tar Heels, who gave up the avoiding of ladders long ago, have the continued misfortune of stumbling upon visitors on the wrong week. For, trampled by Georgia in a fourth quarter rush last week, the Bijou boys are on top of their own little world today with nothing to lose but the car fare up and back. An LSU victory today would turn old Ilucy Long over in his grave,, and skyrocket the Tigers back to the land of fame and fortune. The desperate man is not to be played with. Nobody BY ALL SCORES outside of the local football bureau the game is all but the mere formality of dispensing with the scheduled action. The bookies, who must win more money than they lose, have taken to the Tar Heels like a long, lost 27-poinf son. Mean while, the comparative score lads have come up with a 29-point advantage for the locals by way of Athens and an astomonical 60-point edge by the Austin, Texas route. They should have their heads examined. For, from the Snavcly fcedbag comes the word that these Tigers ain't hay. -They have a powerful T-team which with all cylinders functioning can have an awful lot of spark. The Tigers can throw the football with ease and agility, bringing to mind the fact that all points scored on Carolina this season have come courtesy of some well-known airline. Carolina scouts, who have been chewing that Tiger rag for many weeks, keep looking to the heavens, and not for rain. From the Bcngel camp comes anything but optimism, leaving one to wonder if anybody really wants to win the ball game anyhow. The visitors have a casualty list that can equal the lengih of the Tar Heels' and still have a few tattered forms left in reserve. In iiudition. the Louisiana boys have never fared too well in North Carolina; on their last trip in 1929 they almost outdid the market of that year in crashing before Duke. They fear they are going down for the second time. Slow at the Start SOME OF THE LESS-WRINKLE-faced Tar Heels feel a certain degree of security in this afternoon's gathering. They will point out the Carolina team has not lived up to their press clippings or their own estimations for three straight weeks while Meriwelling by three rather good football teams. The question is: Can the Tar HeeJ talent and spirit be held down to its ebb limit for another week? Snavely teams are notorious slow starters. They were last year and the year before. Except for a stiflling spurt against Texas, they have imitated the act to perfection this season. After Mid October, though, the Gray One is a hard man to beat at anything, and according to the bill collector that date has come and past. The Louisianans, like a Qounset hut spigot, may run hot or may run cold, but if the Tar Heels burst forth with that rabbit punch they have supressed since the Longhorns lingered and lost, it will be extremely difficult for anyone to calm them. If would be enjoy able to convince oneself that all this fooling around with Georgia, Wake Forest and State was all part of the act. Or at least the calm before the storm. The Lack of Luck ONE THING THAT has almost mortally wounded the Tar Heels i'n several occasions is the apparent lack of the reknown Lady Luck Lady. They haven't had a date with her in weeks. The good go early goes the old expression which certainly holds for the Carolinians whose sideline ensemble just grows and grows and grows. Also the Tar Heels have had less breaks lately than a self conscious coed. They had a couple in the opening game this year and capitalized them into a national fortune. Since then, when you mention the breaks of the game around the locals, they simply answer, "What game?" You can't lose for winning. Which leads one to picking the home town boys to take the chill out of the autumn air and the Tar Heel fans and insert it within th" Tigers. It will probably take a red hot Tar Heel team to do it, lu just, how long fan one football team simmer and not catch !!? From here on out the Tar Heels need only to win one for i. crippled wanior they have saddled on the bench and they are r-iovorbiully in. today for sure!

C. White, the local lads racked up 20 points and at the same time held the Virginians scoreless. " The Tar Babies completely do minated the show, never allow ing the Gentlemen from the Old Dominion to come within shout ing distance of the hallowed Tar Heel goal line. Only once were the visitors permitted to enter Tar Heel territory, and that time the Tar Babies pulled in the wel come mats before the Cavaliers got past the 46-yard line. But the Tar Babies, who fought on even terms with the Virgin ians during the first period, got hot in the second quarter and scored once before allowing the Cavaliers to retire to their dress ing rooms. The scoring play came after a march from the Tar Baby 33 yard line. Wiess passed to end Eddy Walser who gathered the ball in on the 15 and scampered across the goal unmolested for six points. Eggie Williams added the extra point with apparent ease. So, at the end of the first half the Tar Babies were in com mand with a seven-point lead. Midway in the third period the Tar Babies got touchdown hungry and Wiess whetted their appetites with some more of the same dish-good passing. After a march from the Virginia 45, Wiess carried the ball into the Caval ier end zone, only to be told that a Carolina back was in mo tion and therefore the TD did not count. However, Wiess, who can be determined, passed to C. C. White on the next play from the 11 -yard line and White ended up in six-point territory. Again Williams' conversion split the uprights. The Tar Babies' final score came five minutes later when Weiss intercepted a Virginia pass on the Cavalier 15-yard line and cut down the sidelines to the end zone. This time Williams' extra point attempt was blocked. Although he failed to figure in on any scoring plays, tailback Leon Carson played an excellent game. He never failed to gain ground on what seemed to be his favorite play, the reverse. Other bright spot in the game yester day was the outstanding work of the forward wall. The Tar Babies did well to confine such Virginia backs as William Landcs and Robert Skinner. The long work on pass defense seemed to pay oir yesterday. The Tar Babies intercepted more Vir ginia passes than the faltering Cavaliers could complete to their own men. a GOAL EVERY TIME Put theee are two things steve poesn't know that a pontoon A1EPLANE IS LANPING !N THE LAGOON ANP THATEAK.

Harriers Entertain State Today By Frank Allston The Carolina cross country team will attempt to enter the win column for the first time to day when they engage the North Carolina State college harriers at 11 o'clock on the Carolina four - mile course originating from Fetzer field. In both of their previous meets this season, the Tar Heels have been defeated largely because of a lack of balance on the squad. Virginia Tech's, conference run-ners-up, topped the locals two weeks ago while the always strong Navy runners were on the short end of the score at Annapo lis last Saturday. Sam Magill, however, won firsts in both of these earlier meets and will be the favorite in; the meet this morning. Durable Sam trotted home ahead of the pack in 21:45 in the VPI meet, which was run on the local course. Frank Hooper, who finished fourth in the Tech meet and third at Navy, will be counted on to day by Coach Dale Ranson to help the Tar Heels improve on the previous two runnings. Julian MacKenzie, recently elected captain of the Tar Heel harriers, is another of the first boys home who will be counted on to lower the Tar Heel scor ing.

Ranson will also be counting on Jim Hunt, Warren Barringer, Jerome Lewis, John Ross, Otis Hunnicutt, Dick Gregory and Bob Rhyne. All of these boys turned in good times in the time trials held on the local course on Thursday.. Two freshmen, Ross and Cul pepper, are also on the Blue and White team and may run tomor row. Under Southern conference rules, a freshman who has served in the armed forces may compete in varsity athletics. Coach Ranson was pleased Carolina To Romp Over Tigers; Davidson, Blue Devils Favored By Zane Robbins A fellow in a black shirt with a half-smoked stogie in his mouth swaggered up to us on Franklin Street the other day, pushed a low-brimmed cap back from his forehead, and said, "Hey Bub, c'mere a minute. Got a little tip fer ya." I ambled over to this character, hoping to pick up a hot tip on a couple of Saturday's big games, and inclined an ear in the general direction of his mumblings. "Look Buddy, for a coupla bucks I can give ya the word on all the big games." Sounded good so I dug a pair of George Washington etchings out of my pocket, handed them to him and listened as he began drawling about the football for tunes of the nation's best. "Kinda think the home-town boys will win by three, mebbe four touchdowns," he began. '"LSU hasn't been too hot at any time during the season and look lop sided lickings from Texas and Georgia, a couple of Carolina victims. Don't bet everything in the wife's cookie jar, but I'd say Carolina, 35-0." To the U.N.C.

PLENTY OF PARKING SPACE WATT'S GRILL Only 2 Miles Out on Pittsboro Road with the performances turned in by his runners in the earlier meets, but expressed a prefer ence for a winning performance. The Carolina team will probably be favored today on the basis of their good showings against stiff opponents to date. A Tar Heel win today would bring some measure of revenge to coach Ranson. Last Monday afternoon State -won a double header cross country meet from Carolina, the Jayvees winning, 19-52 in a very one-sided con test while the freshmen were vic torious by a 25-30 count. "Now Duke's been looking bet ter every week and played a bang-up game against Maryland last week. Billy Cox is pushing Freddie Folger at tailback and the Blue Devil forwards have im proved a lot, I'd say Duke 26-7." "This Davidson-Wofford tilt oughta be a real hum-dinger," said Sad Sam. "The Wildcats have a good little team and Wofford is a mediocre outfit. It'll be close though. Davidson, 13-7." Michigan and Minnesota will be battling it out in their annual Little Brown Jug tilt in the top game of the day. Dunno what's in that Jug but it must be something mighty good the way those boys scrap over it. Michigan is the atio puc asnoqj9Aod uajaaqun of best in the country but any thing can happen when these two rivals get together. Minnesota is battling for a Rose Bowl berth and will be tough. I'll stick with the Wolverines though, 21-14."

I T..onrf in razor blades I4fof Li io Score Second Win On Goals by Boak, Ferebee, Langley By Larry Fox Scoring once in each of the first three quarters, Carolina's soccer team easily defeated the University of Virginia booters, 3-0, on Fetzer field yesterday. Th'e Tar Heels took the lead early in the initial stanza and, after ' adding the insurance goal in the second chapter, Coach Mar vin Allen cleaned the bench; sending every man on the squad into the contest. Dave Boak dented the Cav alier nets for the first Carolina tally after half the opening period had elapsed. Boak headed a corn er kick by left wing Tommy Jor dan, who leads the squad in as sists for the season, into the goal to give the Tar Heels a lead they never came close to relinquish ing. Before Boak scored his goal, the Tar Heels had threatened many times. Joe Bach and Dave Ferebee, among others, were foiled in their attempts to count for the Blue and White, but Fer ebee had the satisfaction of notch ing his first goal of the campaign early in the second quarter when he took a pass about 20 yards out, faked Dalton Couig, the Vir- ginia goalie, out of position, and charged into the goalmouth for the score. Carolina continued to force the J play, but it wasn't until the third period, with mostly reserves on the field, that John Langley scored the final goal. Langley was promoted to the starting lineup as a, result of his fine play as a substitute in the previous Tar Heel encounters, and played a sterling game in the inside left position. Bill Lyon played his first game as a starter in the right halfback slot and al so aquitted himself well. Buck Blankenship opened at fullback for the third lineup change. Scrappy center half Gus Johns ton injured his knee in the second period just before the Tar Heel tally. Johnston was forced to leave the game, but will probably be ready for the Tar Heels' next contest.

Chapel Hill Scores Fifth Straight Win Chapel Hill High school's un defeated Wildcats rolled to their fifth straight victory yesterday afternoon with a convincing 25 to 0 win over a game but out classed Siler City eleven on Em erson field before a small, en thusiastic crowd. The Wildcats were in complete control of the affair from the start, scoring their first six point er in the opening minutes of the first quarter when Bill Butler blocked a visitor's punt on the Siler 17, and Collier Hill slashed off right tackle into paydirt from .'the nine two plays later. Midway in the second quarter the Wildcats drew blood again when they marched from their own forty to the two yard line in three plays and Bill Butler plunged over from there on his second try, giving Chapel Hill a 12 to 0 advantage at half time.
