WeU this isfe of e
One of the things that gripes me most about collate "football
fe that the alumni and students think a team should r!eier lose It"
a load p,pe cinch that somebody has to lose unless every game ends
in a tie and that wouldn't be much fun for anybody
Carolina has won more than its share of games durin- the cast
f0Ur years but the Tar Heels aren't faring any too wel this fall In
fact. , will take a win at Charlottesville, Va., tomorrow to put the
Snaveivmen at the .500 level for the year and give them a 4-J-2 rec
ord for 19o0. Not too impressive, is it? Particularly .after three bowl
trips and a fistful of All-Americas (Justice, Weiner, Powell, Szafaryn,
etc.) m the last four years.
, "''U S? f thSe thingS that haPPens to most every
body. Look at Notre Dame, a classic example.
Better Days Ahead
STEALING A LINE FROM the old tune, "Look for the Silver
Lining," it seems good advice for Tar Hesl students, alumni, and
supporters to do just that. Carolina football stock will probably come
up like tulips in May next fall.
I may be wrong, but it seems to me that everyone deserves a
bad year once m awhile. If it weren't for those dark years, the bright
ones would seem just ordinary. Take last week's Duke game, for in
stance. Had the Tar Heels romped to victory as expected, the long
standing rivalry between the two teams would doubtlessly have
dropped to a new low. That win for Duke just takes it Place among
many another that you will find sprinkled through the record books.
To my way of thinking, Carolina should have lost only one
game all year the Tennessee fiasco. And even that one might have
gone the other way had not two costly fumbles and a safety given
the Vols a big jump on the Tar Heels. We might have an 8-1 record
or even a 9-0 mark at this point had a few of the breaks come our
way. iaKe mat waite forest game as an example. That last-minute
pass might just as easily have fallen incomplete giving Carolina a
7-b win but it was caugnt. Then look at the William and Mary
game.
The Carolinians had more luck than an Irishman on St. Patrick's
Day in that one. Coach Carl Snavely readily admitted the fact after
the game, and the tilt could very easily have ended in a victory for
the Indians haa we not been on the long end of all the breaks.
Everybody Loves A Winner
IT ALL BOILS DOWN to the hackneyed old expression, "Every
body loves a winner." If that's the case, this year's Tar Heel edition I Dick Bunting.
hasn't a friend in the world not very many anyway. But think it
over. The boys on the team certainly don't like to go out there every
Saturday and take a beating. They give it everything they have. And
there's a lot more to it than just the Saturday afternoon games' that's
the easiest part.
Monday through Thursday the boys drill hard and long in per
fecting their game. Friday they taper off and get ready for the week
end battle. A day off on Sunday, and it starts all over again. It's been
that way since early September, and before that there was a month of
pre-soason practice. Going back a little further, the team had to
undergo two long off-season practice periods in the winter and spring.
This year's Tar Heels have been working at the game a long,
long time, and it's little enough thanks they get when the student
body shows up on Saturday afternoons to cheer them on. And if
you believe all this mess about fancy scholarships with a couple
of rand in the bank and a yellow convertible in the garage, you
better think again because it just doesn't work 'that way not at
Carolina, at least.
You can bet the winter quarter fees that those boys on the team
don't want to lose any more than we want to see them lose. It's no
fun to play on a losing team, and you can get plenty-of first-hand
information on that subject any afternoon at Navy Field
We Want A Winner
SURE, WE WANT a winner. Doesn't everybody? And the team
wants to be a winner more than anything else. Right now I'm wear
ing out my third rabbit's foot of the year, pulling for a much-n-eded
victory over ever-tough Virginia Saturday. But next year thingfe
will be different I hope.
We lo-e Tailback Dick Bunting, Fullback Billy Hayes, and
Elockingback Paul Rizzo out of the backfield along with Fred Shar
,Pan the extra point soecialist, and litt'.e-used Joe Dougherty. Miss
ing from the line next year will be End Ed Bilnuch, Tackle Roscoe
Hanvn Guards R. L. McDonald, Jack Woodell, Dick Fetherolf, and
Billy Slate, and All-America Center Irv (Huck) Holdash.
That leaves most of the first string line intact, and gives Coach
Snavely a strong backfield nucleus with which to work. Then too.
tW" 4e boys like Tailback Billy Williams, Fu Iback Bob Whits,
Tackle" Franc Fredcrc. Guard Stan Leftwich and Center Dot ,
Eruton who will come up from the freshman squad to fill m the gaps.
So things don't look too black. This is just one of those years
when a team has to build for the future. If you think that defensive
line has looked good this year, just think what it will be able to
do next year with added reserve strength and only Bilpuch and
Hansen loci by graduation. .
Mavbe it's only natural for folks to begm moanin low when
theii faCrite team starts losing, but let's all get behind the Tar

Eleven Drills
For Finale
With Virginia
The Carolina gridders held a
half-hour meeting before running
through an hour and a half of
drills yesterday as they continued
preparations for the season's fi
nale against the University of
Virginia Saturday in Charlottes
ville, Va.
The Tar Heels discussed both
the Duke game of last week and
the coming game with the Cava
liers in the meeting.
The first two teams ran pass
ing patterns against the frosh in
addition to working on the usual
running plays. Special emphasis
was placed on quick kicks, punts,
kick-off returns, and placekick-
mg.
Injuries
C. C. White, offensive end 'i
who was Carolina's top ground
gainer against Duke, will be
unable to play Saturday, due to
a shoulder injury. Huck Hol-

juries, will be able lo start.
Trainer Fitz Lutz reports.
The defensive platoons worked
on rushing punters and block
ing; on punt returns. They also
worked " on five, six and seven
man defenses, and drilled on goal
line stands.
Passing Drills
The gridders wound up prac
tice with 20 minutes of passing
by the first two offensive teams
against the first two defensive
elevens.
Virginia, which hasn't beaten
the Tar Heels since 1944, is ex
pected to be in top shape for the
game. The Cavaliers have won
seven games and lost only to
strong Penn and Tulane.
The Virginians have only a fair i
line, but sport a fine backfield !
built around hard running full-!

End Season
At Virginia

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Nov.
30 Cross country teams of "the

morrow to run their annual meet
over the local four-mile course.
Carolina's seven-man team will
be favored to defeat the Virginia
harriers for the fifth time in suc
cession. Coach Dale Ranson and his
team arrived here by automobile

man comprise the Carolina team.
To date the Tar Heel harriers
have won two meets and have lost
four.
. The meet was originally sched
uled for Saturday morning prior j
to the Virginia-Carolina football
game, but Virginia Coach Archie
Hahn . asked that the meet be
moved up because of heavy Sat
urday traffic on one of the roads
which a portion of the course
parallels.
Neither team has run in over
two weeks. Carolina has not com-
peted since finishing fourth in the
