The Daily Tar Heel had received a wire from Father Weggner describing the Roanoke Rapids youngster as 15, five-feet-six, and well-behaved. Quinn said each Pi Kappa Alpha active and pledge was individually contributing to ward the cost of Hubert's transportation to Dallas and-his expenses while at the bowl classic. He said the chapter was planning to take care of him in Dallas and make sure he met not only his idols, Charlie Justice and Art Weiner, but SMU star Doak Walker and Rice All-American Froggy Williams as well, not to speak of all the members of the Tar Heel team. Hubert first came to the attention of Tar Heels when he wrote a leter to the Universi ty last year asking for a picture of Charlie Justice. He got the picture, and when the end of this year's grid season rolled around he penned another letter to Chapel Hill, asking if it would be possible for him to have another picture of Charlie this year's edi tion and also one of Art Weiner.
