After Opener
'One Down, Nine
To Go' Is Theme
Of Tired Players
By Joo B. Cherry
The Victory Bell rang in
Kenan Stadium again yester
day, and nobody was any hap
pier about it than the Tar
Heels who made it possible
players and coaches.
Immediately after the fray, the
field house was filled with the
excited shouting of veteran foot
ballers and rookies alike. "One
down and nine to go!" was the
phrase heard most frequently
when the battered but beaming
players straggled through the
crowd of admirers into the tem
porary haven of the dressing room.
Blocking Back Eddie Knox had
this to say 'about the contest: "I'm
just glad we've got a game under
our belts. The sophomores have
got confidence now. The first
game is always the hardest for
them. They can do it now."
Stellar linebacker Irving Hol
dash said "I felt as though we
were a little nervous at first. I was
discouraged over the way I play
ed. I have been bothered by pull
ed muscles in my back. We have
a good passing combination. Com
menting on State's play, he said
"They certainly had good block
ing in the line."
Ac fnr til Chrr CVirtn Viimcolf
he said that the victory was a re
sult of "plain old fight and hustle.
I thought the boys came back
beautifully after being in the
hoi." ' -
The sophomore players were
too excited to say much, but it
was evident that they were re
lieved to have a game "under their
belts."
When congratulated by Head
Coach Snavely on his long touch
down jaunt, all Hesmer had to
say was "I don't deserve the
praise, Coach."
But the Grey Fox seemed to
think otherwise as he strolled
from player to player, congrad
ulating each personally. "I think
a lot more of my ball team now
than I did before the game,
Snavely said.
Where there is a winner there
is bound to be a loser, and yester
day's contest was no exception.
But Coach Beattie Feathers' Wolf
pack put up a terrific battle be
fore bowing to the Tar Heels
and had nothing to be ashamed
of.
"There was just too much
Justice and Weiner," said
Feathers after the game. "I'm
doggone glad this is the last
timo we have to play against
them. Theyre uncanny!"
The Wolfpack mentor thought
Skeet Hesmer's punt return for
Carolina's second touchdown was
the turning point in the game.
"Wo played it poorly," he added..
Then, discussing State's strate
gy, he said, "We could have made
it closer by playing a defensive
game, but in order to win we
knew we had to keep the ball.

WC Gals Steal Show
At Kenan Festivities
By Larry Fox
Governor Kerr Scott made a brief halftime speech. Norm
Sper led the Tar Heel cheering section' in intricate and color
ful yells and card stunts, and the combined Carolina and State
marching bands maneuvered musically on the field, but it
was the contingent of 700 Women's College coeds that stole
the show down at Kenan Stadium yesterday afternoon
ft11" uiuu i 4ne equal ine
volume of the predominantly
male cheering squads of their
brother institutions, but their
high-pitched efforts and the vis
ions of a post-game Graham Me
morial rendezvous gave them jth
center of the stage
In fact, even Acting University
President W. D. Carmichael, Jr,
told the crowd that "I'm rooting
for the Women's College girls
Ted Leonard, in charge of the
Greater University Day festivities
that had brought the young ladies
to Chapel Hill, had tried to put
Carmichael on the same spot that
Governor Scott had just vacated
Scott, who openly admitted his
-"State partiality, was jeer
ed down when he stated that the
Tar Heels would need the soon
to-be-constructed hospital after
the Wolfpack finished its work.
The ceremonies ended with
short talk by Dortch Warriner,
head of the Greater University
Student Council, and the intro
duction of the chancellors of the
three institutions
After the speeches were com
pleted, Sper and his card stunts
took over as the bands paraded
across the field.
One of the top. stunts of the nine
that were presented began with
the bare outlines of a three limb
ed tree, which in the next stunt
sprouted the initials of the three
schools, WC, NCS, and UNC.
A red-faced wolf, looking
little bedraggled was the main
salute to the many State students
on the north side of the field, who
appeared to appreciate the senti
ment. The stunts closed as the
card section signified a white UNC
in big block letters on a blue field.

Duke Mauls
Foe By 67-0
DURHAM, Sept. 24-W-Duke
found the University of Richmond
easy pickings today and ground
Southern Conference victory in its
out 10 touchdowns for a 67-0
opening game.
Coach Wallace Wade, who is
expected to show something new
in the way of Duke football in
his 15th season at Durham, cer
tainly didn't have to call on any
thing but straight football today.
Duke showed the crowd of 10,
000 fans plenty of that. Led by
veteran tailback Billy Cox, wing
back Jack Friedbund, and full
back Jack Mounit, Duke started
fast on the job and wound up
matching the highest point total
ever achieved by a Wade-coached
club here. That was a 67-0 de
cision over Wake Forest in 1938

Notre Dame
Wins, 49-6,
Over Indiana
SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 24-W-It
was the same old Jug
gernaut Notre Dame, plus some
frisky new hands, as the Fight
ing Irish touched off a bid for
a fourth straight unbeaten -season
with a 49-6 clouting of In
diana's outmanned Hoosiers to
day. From a modest 16-6 halftime
advantage, the Irish rolled up 20
points in a devastatine third
period and 13 more in the final
quarter for their 29th straight
game without defeat.
An inaugural crowd of 53,844
watched the Hoosiers start game
ly and then collapsed under the
rapier thrusts of Notre Dame
backs and bludgeoning defensive
play of Irish forwards.
New quarterback Bob Williams
did a commendable quarterback-
mg job, but it was "old-timer"
Emil Sitko who wielded the
heavy shillelagh for the Irish.
Sitko, making his first full
back start after three halfback
ing seasons, punched across three
of Notre Dame's five touchdowns.
The pudgy veteran, labeled "Six
Yard" Sitko last season, upped it
to an eight-yard average in to
day's game with 64 yards in
eight tries.
When the valuable yardage
had to be made, it was Sitko
who bulled his way through

Beat Wake Forest "! 3-7
DALLAS, Sept 25 (AP) Southern Methodist Univer
ity, flying high with All-America Doak Walker's passing,
whipped a fighting Wake Forest eleven tonight by a score
of 13-6.
The great Walker .passed for ' "."
both -touchdowns as the Metho
dists opened the season impressi
vely for 51,000 fans in the Cotton
Bowl.
One pass was to John Milan
for 31 yards and a score. The
other was a screen pass to Dick
McKissack that ate up 49 yards.
ine tough Deacons stopped
most everything Southern Metho
dist tried except Walker's passing.
The first half found Wake Forest
outplaying the Methodists pretty
solidly.
The Deacons score came late
in the opening period and Walker
was the goat. Jim Staton, tower
of the Wake Forest line and the
greatest defensive player on the
field, lumbered through to block
a Walker punt.
Doak fell on the ball but two
Wake Forest players fell on him
and the oval squirted out of his
hands. Ed Karpus dropped on the
ball on the two-yard line. Bill
Gregus powered through left
tackle for a touchdown and Bill
George kicked the extra point-

xne Tar Heels, on the other
hand, appeared to show a marked
difference. Statistics showed that
their potent weapon has changed
from a strong running attack to
a very powerful air arm. The
Justice-Weiner passing combina
tion sent Wolfpack halfbacks and
safety men scurrying for shelter.
State opened the ball game with
a bang. But Tar Heel fans soon
found that there . was nothing
there but the noise. Fullback Jim
O'Rourke took Joe Neikirk's open
ing kickoff on his own 15 and took
off for Raleigh. But Carolina's
Irv Holdash flagged him down on
the Carolina 30.
After three mediocre plays that
gained next to nothing, tailback
Bill Thompson flipped a pass up
the middle to Tony Romanowsky
who raced to the Tar Heel 15 for
a first down. Three play later the
Tar Heels found the '- Wolfpack
knocking on their door, tworyatds
away from hallowed ground.' '
They never crossed the koal line:
With four downs to make it in,
the Carolina forward wall, play
ing like the seasoned Veterans
which they aren't, tightened fcp
and knocked the State attack into
the stands. ' - . -
Justice, who kicked for a 51.7
yard average for the day, kicked
out and after State found the ball
too hot to handle, the Raleigh
boys kicked right back. Carolina
took over on the 20 arid proceed
ed to play football. . , ' ,
With Eddie Knox at the controls,
the Tar Heel Crew engineered an
80-yard march that resulted in a
seven-point lead that, in the end,
would have been enough to win
the ball game.
With Justice's running and the
roughing antics of a State player,
the Tar Heels moved .to within.
26 yards of pay dirt in several
plays.
Skeet Hesmer got into the act
and flipped a long one to Weiner
who did a five yard balancing act
and finished up by piling to the
nine-yard line with the ball tuck
ed safely under his arm.
Justice looked like his usual old
All-American self in passing to
Kenny Powell in the end zone for
the first score. The game was al
most 14 minutes old at this point.
Tackle Egbert Williams added the
extra point as Hesmer held the
ball. :
With Thompson running and
passing the third quarter the State
grid machine got organized and
after Paul Dinan danced to the
Carolina three on a reverse
Thompson did the honors with a
buck over right guard for the
score. Charlie Westbrook's extra
point try was wild.
After two ball exchanges Og-
den Smith kicked to Justice from"
the State 14. Justice handed off
to Skeet Hesmer and watched
him go by as State tacklers start
ed following Justice. Hesmer's run
