No rain occurred between then and game time. Local Baton Rouge papers had quoted Louisiana State Coach Gaynell Tinsley as hoping for rain. . Snavely after the game paid tribute to the Tigers. He said, "They outcharged us, outranks, and outblocked us. They were just ready for us and keyed up for the game. We couldn't stop them." However, O'Brien said the con ditions of the field "probably strained relations between the two teams." He quoted from a byline story by Sports Editor Bud Montet in the Sunday morning edition of the Baton Rouge Morning Advo cate the following: "The Bengals, who have prov ed good mudders in two previous home games, were aided by a mechanical 'local shower.' for when the fans appeared in -the stands they were bewildered with the glistening and slick appear ance of the sodden turf. As it hasn't rained in the past two days in Baton Rouge the fans were mystified. "Also mystified was North Car- lina Coach Carl Snavely who sent his eleven through a drill last night (Friday) on some ideal turf. Snavely protested bitterly and loudly but to no avail, and the superior mudders, the Tiger grid ders, went grimly to work and when the final whistle blew they knew they had turned in one of the finest performances ever turn ed by an LSU eleven in recent years." O'Brien said Tinsely had been quoted in Baton Rouge as saying there had been a mixup in in structions and there had been no plan to water the field on Satur day.

NUMBER 29 Student Group OfOver14000 Waits At Gym Crowd at Airport Totals Some 500; Players Are Tired By Chuck Hauser Forty-four tired, bruised and downhearted Tar Heels steppecLoff a plane at Raleigh Durham Airport late Sunday afternoon to be welcomed by a student body which showed it was still solidly behind them. More than 1,000 students were waiting at Woollen Gymnasium when the two big buses rolled in from the airport, and the welcome was continued there. The fact that the team had been dropped from the nation's undefeated ranks by a 13-7 loss to Louisana State seemed to have been forgotten. Some 500 persons were on hand when the chartered DC-6 skim med down the runway and taxied up to the crowd. Applause greeted the footballers as they stepped down the ramp, and an impres sive vote of confidence was awarded Coach Carl Snavely as he alighted. Many of the cars followed the buses back through Durham, while some drivers took short cuts to Chapel Hill and joined the crowd waiting at the gym. The. bell, in South Building tolled for some 30 minutes to indicate Tl aim 111C xai 11CCU WUUiU UC 11WI11C hpfnrp lnnff DeIore long" Coach Snavely and the players had -nothing to say when they got to town. Charlie Justice, how- ever, drove back from the airport with Sarah Justice and one-year -old Ronnie, and started to make a comment on the game. Standing on the steps of Woollen, Justice chocked up, and could only re mark that the team would be in in a few minutes. The question in everyone's mind was about the condition of the playing field. Reports from Baton Rouge indicated the field was so wet that mud cleats had to be used during the game, while no rain had fallen in Baton Rouge for at least two days. LSU officials admitted the field had been wet down to a point where it was "too wet," but said it was all through a mistake. Coach Snavely would not com ment. Sports Writer Frank O'Brien of the Raleigh News and Observer said, however, that Snavely had protested thecdndition of the field before the game was played (See LSU Coach Gaynell Tinsley, who had been praying for. rain for a week to stop Justice and aid his Tiger mudders, said the 11 4 1 . neia was a uiue wcuei mui wc wanted it" but denied the con-. dition ol tne tun nun me iar Heels' playing.
