Ninety Percent Desire"
"FOOTBALL IS NINETY PERCENT desire and ten percent abil
ity," Charlie Justice said last month at a high school football banquet
and he attributed this lack of a desire to win to the failure of the
1951 football team. ,
Charlie thought the team had the urge to win on only two, oc
casions against Maryland and Notre Dame, two games that the
Tar Heels lost, but might have won with a break in the fourth period.
Could that lack of will io win be attributed to the steady and
rapid decline of all athletics at Ihe University in. the past two
years? I decided to ask Coach Bob Feizer, our athletic director,
and he agrees that this, is a large part of it. '
"I think his (Justice's) figures are a little bit high, but he's about
right. Mental and spiritual feeling is a major consideration. That
'Duke football game here two years ago in the snow is a good example.
They just wanted to win more than we did, and although we domi
nated the game they won." .

"I'VE BEEN QUITE DISTURBED by the . feeling that prevails.
I don't know wKether it is the aftermath of prosperity or a smugness
and complacency that has gripped the' entire student body."
Coach Bob made it clear that it is not only the athletes that are
afflicted with this trouble, but the entire student body as well.
Coach Bob knows, the situation, here better than anyone on cam
pus. He has been athletic director since 1922 and coached football
from 1921 until 1925 and is recognized throughout the athletic world
as one of, its finest men. He is respected by all who know him and
it is for this reason that he was named executive secretary of the
Morehead Foundation. When I talked to him he had just returned
from a three day trip for the foundation..
"Every now and then we go into slumps," Coach Bob explained.
"The Carolina Spirit is something intangible and we hardly know
how to approach it. We used to be proud that our team had better
spirit, and fought a little harder and cleaner."
"Whether we have' relinquished in our efforts to stimulate the
spirit, or whether it is some force that we can't combat, I don't know.
That's what's baffling." ; . r :
"A Creeping Paralysis1'
"IT'S SORT OF "A creeping paralysisTo fight' it you must have
a counteracting force. We don't have chapel service anymore we
don't even have a place where all the students can get together for
more than three . minutes." .
"I don't know of any organized effort to combat the apathy. We
try to do it on the track team, but it doesn't reach enough students."
Coach Bob feels that perhaps the environment and predominating
philosophy of the day is partially responsible. "This is an age of
investigation and negative philosophy," he said. "People are not harp
ing on good things, but on scandals. In athletics it is not over-emphasis
so much as it is failure to emphasize the positive benefits of
athletics that hurts."
"If no one believes in what the University stands for if everyone
has gone practical, materialistic, and cynical Lord help us."
"We've lost pride, or confidence that is so important the student
body as a whole lacks esprit de corps, or loyalty, or sense of pride,
or sense of obligation as a student at the University of North Caro
lina We could hold our heads a little higher."
The Monogram Club Code
Back in 1929 or 1930 Judge Brogden tried to capture the spirit
through the Monogram Club and. its code, which he largely wrote.
The first thing it says is just what I'm talking about." Coach Bob
fumbled in his desk and produced a copy of the code.
"Here's what I mean I believe in the University. If they believe
in the University, they aren't showing it,"
Coach Bob looked off and he had a pained and puzzled expression
: on his face. He looked back and said, "You can't even preach to
i them; they yawn in your face." , v .
It may take a while to throw this slump off, Coach Bob thinks.
"It didn't occur in. a few minutes and getting out of it is a slow proc
ess," he said. "It nee$3 an organized campaign to combat it. It needs
to be frequent arl in large doses."
How did C?ach Bob sum up the attitude that isj' prevalent on
campus? He called on .his old Bible training and quoted this verse
from Revelation: : ; ' ' I t 5

100th Victory for Carol in a;
Donnie Evans Wins 2 Firsts
by Jid Thompson
Coach Dick Jamerson's undefeated Tar Heel swimmers
downed a strong University of Georgia squad here yesterday,
52-32, before an over-flow gallery. This victory gives Carolina
a 100-12 record in 14 seasons of competition, runs its winning
streak to 23, and marks its tenth consecutive win for the sea
son.
The competition provided
Bulldog tankmen was much closer -
than the final score indicated.
Most of the events were won by
narrow, exciting margins.
Carolina's Donnie Evans, just
recovering from a siege of illness,
paved the way for the Tar Heel
victory by becoming the only
double-winner and taking scor
ing honors with ten points.
Evans was fourth coming into
the final turn of the 150-yard in
dividual medley; however, he
kicked it in to beat teammate
Buddy Baarcke a yard from the
finish line in the time of 1:36.7.
Later Evans chalked up his sec
ond victory by besting teammate
Cecil Milton in the 440-yard free
style with the good time of 4:52.0.
Georgia's three aces, Reid Pat
terson, Charlie Guyer, and Char
lie Cooper, looked like their usual
selves in the initial event, the
300-yard medley relay, which they
won in 2:56.9, eclipsing the South
ern Conference record by 310 of
a second.
Georgia's Steve Mitakis handed
UNC's Joe Kelso his first loss of
