C. State ,The Tar Babies took the Virginia euu, icauy iu piay winning football. The Carolina offense didn't look too good against Texas. But on the other hand, the defense didn't do bad at all. And remember, tins isnt Texas we're playing today. When the Longhorns played here on opening day, they were at their peak. They didn't make many mistakes and when they did make them, they seemed to Capitalize on them instead of getting hurt. The Texas quarterback, T Jones, played probably his best game of the season in Kenan Stadium. Carol ina Joyvees Win E asily Over Virginia Cavaliers, 31-14 Special to The Daily Tar Heel Another 40 yard march brought Charlottesville, Va. Oct. 17 the final Carolina tally in the Carolina's Junior Varsity romp ed to an easy 31-14 victory over the University of Virginia Jay vees here at Scott Stadium this afternoon. The winners spotted their hosts an early first quar ter score, and then proceeded to roll up five straight tallies before Virginia could push over a second consolation marker. The. Cavayear lings passed for a touchdown early in the first Wake Forest Not Texas IT CERTAINLY ISN'T Texas we're playing today, and for that reason I'm going to go along with the Tar Heels. Wake F. est has a pretty fair country ball team but from this corner it looks as though Carolina has a better one. And, despite the Tar Heels' inexperience, I think they can send the Deacs bawling back to Baptist Hollow. In the first place, the Wake Forest pass defense has a tendency to grow lax on occasions. With Marshall Newman, starting today, and with Charlie Motta, his top relief, both good passers, at the quarterback post you can expect the Tar Heels to fill the Kenan atmosphere with passes. And sometime during the afternoon those passes ought to click for some quick points. Newman showed his ability for passing in the final stages of the Texas game when he engineered and passed for our only touchdown. And Motta, despite the fact that he missed the Longhorn rodeo, is known to be a good field general and tosser. His work in last spring's Blue-White game pointed that out. The Deacons have a host of fast and powerful backs. But to stop them Coach Carl Snavely has a strong defensive line. That line held the Texas ground attack successfully enough the Long horns' winning margin . coming on the passing attack. Led by co captain Tom Higgins, the Tar Heel forward wall should be able to handle the Deacs' running attack. Defensively Better SOME MIGHT BRING out the fact that our pass defense was a major factor in our loss to Texas, and indeed it was. But to repeat, it's Wake Forest and not Texas and Sonny George and not T Jones that we face tomorrow. George has been exceptional on his short over the line passes, especially in .the William and Mary game when he guided the Deacs to their only win of the season. But he is more erratic on his long heaves, as was pointed out in the Villanova game when he had four intercepted and the Deacons fell, 20-0. Then too, Coach Snavely has had more time to work on his pass defense. When he went into the Texas game he was more worried about getting the split-T working than he was in stopping the Texas passers. Defense had been sacrificed somewhat in practice in order to get the offense going. But since the Texas game the Tar Heels have had a chance to improve on the air raid defense and you can expect b see a better one this afternoon. So for the most part it boils down to the fact that each team has a counterpart for the other's strong point. They've .got some fast backs, we've got a strong line. We've got some powerful backs, but they, too, have a good line. We've got a good passing game, they've got a weak defense. They've got a good but erratic passer, we've got a good but erratic pass defense. And so on into the night. What We've Got That They Haven't Got BUT WHAT WE'VE GOT and what the Deacons seem to have lost is determination. Tor all the harm that two-week layoff caused us it did make us more eager to play. Wake Forest, on the other hand, has been on a gradual decline. They were at a peak in the opening game against Baylor and barely lost, 17-14. Against William and Mary they pulled one out of the fire to win 28-21. Then the road went down. A 7-7 tie against Boston College wasn't very m . ... vniannva dirt little to cheer the nressive ana tnen last wec.s w -- - . - kickoff and marched 60 yards for its first score. Halfback Flo Worrell carried over from the five for the touchdown. Charlie Poindexter failed to add the ex tra point, giving Virginia a 7-6 lead at the end of the first quar ter. , Carolina took a permanent lead early in the second stanza. A 60 yard march was, climaxed by quarterback Ernie Liberati sneak ing over from the six. Poindexter made the only Carolina conver sion of the afternoon. In the third quarter Al Long gathered in a Virginia quick kick and galloped 60 yards for a touch down. The Tar Babies got a second score in the third period. Liber ati, who quarterbacked the split T attack very well all afternoon, tossed a 13 yard pass to left end Van Weatherspoon in the end zone. This carne at the end of a a 40 yard m arch- fourth period. Halfback Billy Hawkes went over from the sev en for the score. The- losers got their second touchdown in tie final minutes of the game. This tally also came by the aerial route. The passing and ball handling of Liberati, a Senior who does part time varsity duty, highlight ed the Carolina offensive action. State Out Carolina Athletic Director Chuck Erickspn has announced that the game between Caro lina and North Carolina Stale -will definitely not be played. The game was postponed be cause of an outbreak of polio on the Carolina campus. There had been some discus sion of playing the game at a later date. However, Erickson has announced that this was found to be unfeasible. The Carolina football season will definitely close on Novem ber 28 against the University of Miami. The University athletic of fice has announced that re funds on tickets for the can celled game are now being made here. The office pointed out that requests for refunds for tickets purchased at N. C. State should be sent to that institution. The former Philadelphia prep star passed for one touchdown and scored another himself. His tricky ballhandling aided the fine ballcarrying of Hawkes and Wor rell. The Tar Babies .compiled a to tal of approximately 235 yards in combined ground and aerial en deavers. The visitors vastly out gained their hosts, having large leads in both total yardage and first downs. Coach Ted Hazelwood substi tuted freely throughout the en tire contest, using all 32 boys who made the trip. For the most part Virginia seemed to lack only experience. The . Cavayearlings had an im pressive passing attack, and sev eral swift ball carriers. They made several mental errors, as well as some costly fumbles. The Carolina line was equally good on offense and defense. The offensive forward wall cleared the way nicely for the ball car riers, while Virginia was not able to gain any substantial yardage on the ground. The 45-0 grid win .of U of Mi ami over V.M.I. Sept. 26 gave the Hurricanes two shutout wins in a row for the first time since a four game shutout string back in 1941. Miami's other shutout vic tim in the current string was Clemson, blanked 14-0 in the Ga tor Bowl in Jacksonville New Years. SUAB Grid Contest Prizes The Student Union Activities Graham Memorial and must be Board has announced the prizes for the winner of this week's foot ball contest as being two tickets to the Carolina Theater and a carton of eigarettes. Entry blanks for the contest can be picked up in the lobby of Vince Pagley, junior defensive end for the University of Miami intercepted his first pass as a Hur ricane against V.M.I. and return ed it 36 yards for his first Miami TD. turned in by noon today. The names of the winners will be an nounced in Wednesday's Tar Heel. When Carolina was defeated by Texas in its opening game of the 1952 season, a couple of freshmen supplied the Tar Heels' scoring punch. Freshman quarterback Marshall Newman tossed to fresh man halfback Ken Keller for the only Tar Heel tally in the 28-7 defeat. ! AUTHENTIC!

Light Schedule Opens Dorm Play The dorm intramural tag foot ball season began Thursday af ternoon with a heavy schedule. Only three games were played, however with the remaining gam es either forfeited or cancelled. Rufus Hackney scored the only rt,,r.ViHrvWn nf the same on a pass from Labe Little to give Ruffm . a hard-earned 7-0 victory over Steele. The winning margin came in the last half of the game which was a defensive battle all the way. The offensive battle of the day was between Manley and Stacy. Manley rallied in the last minu tes of the game to win 18-13 on a touchdown by halfback Moody. Stacy led at the half, 7-0. The only other game played was won by Graham, 1-0, over Cobb. The losers had a touchdown call ed back in the second half of the game which was decided in a sud den overtime. Four injuries will hamper the Tar Heels today. First string de fensive backs Bull Davidson and Billy Williams are out, and full back John Gaylord and end Ben ny Walser are also on the injured list. Gaylord, Williams, and Wal ser are all suffering from hold over injuries from the Texas game. Snavely will be shifting his backfield combinations most of the afternon using the best men for the situation. Offensive co captain and halfback Chal Port will see a lot of action on run backs and offense. Port played outstandingly on defense last year, and is the fastest back on the squad this season. Sophomore Connie Gravitte is expected to see action at halfback, and quar terback Charlie Motta will prob ably be used extensively. Sonny Ridenhour will start in place of Williams at safety in the Tar Heel defensive lineup. Co-captain Tom Higgins, a stand out against the Longhorns, will lead the defensive team from his tackle spot. The forward wall settled down a few times against Texas and played brilliantly and has looked increasingly better in 1 practice. I II WAIfF FOREST EXCLUSIVE ! ! !
