All Smiles
After Victory
By Frank Allslon, Jr.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12 Notre
Dame's dressing room, deep with
in Yankee Stadium was a scene
of complete jubilation following
the Irish victory over Carolina's
proud sons of Dixie.
The green-shirted warriors
were bruised and cut as they
came into the room. Most of them
managed a smile despite their fa
tigued condition.
Coach Frank Leahy, chewing a
stick of gum viciously, was all
smiles as he was surrounded by
a swarm of Notre Dame alumni,
well-wishers and newspaper men.
The youthful appearing head
mentor of the South Bend grid
iron machine had his usual cheery
greeting for anyone who entered
the room.
Leahy was the dominating fig
ure in the dressing room as he
rehashed today's big game.

Team To Limit
With Cheering
Band, Card Stunts
Arc Great Success
As NYC Succumbs
" By Roy Parker, Jr.
NEW. YORK, Nov. 12 It was.
great while it lasted and fine when
all was lost. That about des
cribes the spirit of the University
student . fans who backed their
magnificent team from the student
section in right field bleachers of
Yankee Stadium today.
It was the cheeringest bunch
of tCarolina , rooters ever to be
assembled. A solid mass of blue
hats, Confederate flags and
screaming Tar Heel partisans gave
their all. from the great opening
qtinutes of the game until the
dreary end.
-New Yorkers, ; who. were still
, trying to get .over . the Times I
Square pep rally that, made his
tory, got so enthused over the
antics of the Tar Heel fans, their.
band and their card stunts, that
even a few of the hardened "Sub
way Alumni" cheered when fin
ally overwhelmed by the UNC
spirit. ,
- Earl ; Slocum's , : boys matched I
halftime . stunts with -the v Notre
Dame band, and came put on: top.
Naturally during the band stunt--ing
there was also the Norm Sper
special, card stunts and they came
off perfectly, despite the crowd
ed condition of the " student
section. . '
" Confederate flags were rhdreih
evidence, at the game than at any
time with practically every - Tar
Heel fan boasting . one of the
stared-and-barred banners. . The
flag has become so common
place around this capital of Yan
keeland, that Brooklyn game
token hawkers were doing a rush
office business selling them, al
though one of them admitted he
"Tho't it was de school flag or
someting." ,
The cheering of the UNC sec
tion was more than a match for
the rest of the 67,000 fans who
witnessed the game. The Tar Heel
team received screaming ovation
practically every time it came
out of the huddle and the whole
atmosphere was charged with an
ants-in-pants attitude with most
of the students standing up dur
ing the entire game.
The traditional- end-of-game
singing of "Hark The Sound
came out with such gusto, that
several thousand of the rabid
New York fans stopped dead in
their usually hurried tracks for
the gate to listen, despite the
fact that the Notre Dame band
was giving out with the Irish
fight song.

.'" "''" By Buddy Vaden '
v ; YANKEE STADIUM, New York, Nov. 12 There was no justice here today for the
band of 45 fun-loving country" boys from Chapel Hill who had come to the Big City to show
some 76,000 fans how football Can be played in the land of sunshine.
Tor three fast-moving periods the Tar Heels were the talk of New York. They had
successfully bottled up the fighting Irish of Notre Dame. But in the fourth quarter the
Carolina contingent fell apart at the seams and allowed the power-laden Irish . to . score
fpur- touchdowns and go ahead

THIS ACTION LED TO North Carolina's only score against
the Irish of Notre Dame in Yankee Stadium in New York yester
day afternoon. Tar Heel Joe Dudeck (70) recovered the ball which
was in the air after Kenny Powell blocked a Notre Dame punt.
Irish halfback Bob Williams is behind Dudeck, also straining for
the elusive, pigskin. The action came just two minutes after the
game started. (Associated Press Wirephoto)
Justice Sits It Out
In Battle Of Year
By Billy Carmichael III
.YANKEE STADIUM, NEW
YORK, Nov. 11 The limp in
Charlie Justice's leg left a lump
in the throats of the majority of
the 67,000 who witnessed the Tar
Heel-Irish classic.
Though told he should not," Jus
tice, suffering from a severe ankle
injury received against William
and Mary last Saturday, dressed
for the game that he might be
with his team .mates when they
met the mighty Notre Dame.
Justice : appeared during the
pre-game warmup period witn
the rest of the Tar : Heels, but
'simply went through the motions.
He could hardly hobble.
And when it came time for the
toss, the Choo Choo affixed his
helmet and limped to the center
of the field where he lost the flip
to Irish co-captains, Jim Martin
and Leon Hart. It just wasn't
Charlie's day.
After .Carolina's surprising
quick touchdown at the start of
the game,' Justice entered the
game to hold the ball for Abie
Williams. .

to argue the Tar Heel case that
resulted in a safety after Bill
Hayes had dropped the ball at
tempting to pass and had it roll
into his own end zone.
Both times on the field, Jus
tice received wild applause. He
was, if nothing else, a spiritual
lift to his team and his followers
But he was a pathetic sight to
behold. No one wanted to see
Justice in the ball game as much
as Charlie did himself.
Throughout the game the Choo
limped up and down the side
lines, shouting words .of encour
agement and occasional instruc
tion. But he couldn't play.
Coming Home
The tired Tar Heels who
fought their hearts out to hold
the powerful Irish of Notre
Dame to a half-time 6-6 dead
lock will be coming home this
morning, well in advance of
the thousands of students, fac
ulty members and alumni who
went to New York with them.
The estimated time oi ar
rival by train at Greensboro is
9:40, and the team's buses
should roll up to Woollen
Gymnasium some time before
11 o'clock.

Deadlock
The , Tar Heels started the ball
game in a manner that had Notre
Dame Coach Frank Leahy shak
ing in his boots and Gotham's
press legions wondering why they
had wished it was Army and not
Carolina providing the opposition
for the all-mighty Irish.
Carolina was the first to score
and the 35,000 faithful fans and
2,300 cheering students had vis
ions of an upset greater than the
Truman victory of 1948. The Tar
Heels were without the services
of All-America Charlie Justice
with the exception of three brief
moments when old 22 came into
the ball game, twice to explain
the fundamentals of football to
the officials and once to hold
for Egbert Williams' extra point
try.
Only two minutes nd 35 sec
onds had passed before, the Caro
lina boys were , ahead ', by six
points. Carolina had ' kicked off
. . ... i.t t-ij
no tne lrisn ana mey were noiea
up deep in , their own. territory.
Bob Williams kick from the 17
, was blocked by tackle Dave Wiley
and recovered by Carolina. From
there it took only, two plays for
the inspired Carolinians to score.
' Tailback Dick Bunting, who
would have looked; like Justice
had he been wearing jersey num
ber 22, sliced the right side ' for
four to the five, then on the next
play he ' cut through the right
side again and, into the middle to
score, with green jerseys falling
off' behind Williams extra point
try was wide. ' .
For the next 17 ' minutes and
five seconds Tar Hha ruled
the roost, much to the bewilder
ment of the Notre Dame subway
fans. . But . at, 4:40 of the , second
period the Irish broke the ice
and tied the ball game up at
six-all. The Tar Heels had ad
vanced to the Notre Dame one,
but a penalty and two losses on
running plays broke up the scor
ing threat.
The Irish, after staving off Caro
lina's scoring threat early in the
second period, took over on their
own nine -yard line and with the
aid of,a beautiful 78-yard run
by Francis -Spaniel, scored to
tie up the game. Larry Coutre
advanced the . ball to the Irish
17, Emil Sitko carried to the 22,
and Coutre ran one just for kicks.
Then Spaniel took off with beau
tiful downfield blocking to go all
the way. - ' '
Carolina guard Dick Bestwkk
blocked the extra point try by
Steve Oracko. The score remain
ed the same until, the half ended.
The Irish had control of the ball
for the better part of the remain
ing time left, but the Tar Heels
stubbornly refused to let any
thing even resembling a football
