Saturday. November 15, 1952 The Dally Tar Heel Page Tlirea Local Boo WW Meet ttumf a o o o r & p o I tn n tm v ? vers Down In Front By Biff Roberts Battle Of The Caroli nas COLUMBIA, S. C., Nov. 14 Tomorrow, is the day that the supremacy of the two Carolinas is to be decided. For at 2 o'clock the Tar Heels of North Carolina and the Gamecocks of South Carolina meet at Carolina Stadium here and go through 60 minutes of football drudgery. According to the South Carolinians and the bookies the Gamecocks will win it this time for the first victory over the Tar Heels since 1944. But from this corner of the press box, it doesn't look that way. I'm looking for the winless Tar Heels to take their first one of the year maybe not by much but they still ought to win it. North Carolina has plenty to overcome. It is homecoming here tomorrow and the expected crowd of some 20,000 will definitely be rooting for the Gamecocks. On top of that the South Carolina players are still burning from the defeats we've handed them in the past few years. Add the fact that they've got a top passing combo in Johnny Gramling and Dick Balka two top quarterbacks which will give our erratic pass defense more to worry about, and things look pretty dark. Then, too, the Gamecocks have been coming strong. After get ting walloped by Duke about a month ago, they've won three straight, stopping Clemson, Virginia (shades of last week at Kenan Stadium), and The Citadel. All in all, South Carolina has a five and two record, losing to Army but beating Furman in the season opener. Tough And Tougher THE GAMECOCK PASSING game is a tough one. But their de fensive line is even tougher. They now place seventh in the nation on rushing defense, which doesn't sound too encouraging. Balka and Gramling can handle the passing without much trouble and ,have two good receivers in Clyde Bennett, one of the top pass catch ers in the Southern Conference with 20, and halfback Gene Wilson. Bennett has caught four touchdown passes and Wilson has taken in two while running for two more. All of this isn't much to perk up the North Carolina rooters. But there are a few other things to be considered. Our pass defense has probably been our biggest weakness all season. But one reason it has been lacking is the fact that the strong teams we have faced, Texas, Wake Forest, Notre Dame, Tennessee, and Virginia, have all had strong running games. When you have to look out for both run you take a look at South Carolina's running game you can see that it you take a look at South Carolina'srunninggame you can see that it doesn't compare with any of the five teams we have lost to this season. They've got some steady runners but none that are exception ally fast, none that are exceptionally powerful, and none that are exceptionally shifty. Lineman Stop That Runner ALL. OF WHICH MEANS that the Carolina line, one which has shown signs of brilliance at times during the year, should be able to stop the Gamecock running attack without having to overload it with line backers. If that line can hold, then Coach Carl Snavely can let his backs worry more about intercepting or blocking passes rather than having to worry about stopping runners who have broken through the line. ;, As an answer to the South Carolina passing Coach Snavely can again call on a strong line. In the Wake Forest game, when the Tar Heels came within a hair of winning, the hard-charging Carolina line continually dumped the Wake Forest passers for losses. The Carolina pass defense look good that day. If the line can do the same to morrow afternoon, then the South Carolina passing attack shouldn't bother us too much. Gaylord And Davidson ON TOP OF THAT our rushing offense started to look a" little better last Saturday although we did get trounced by Virginia and it should look even better tomorrow. John Gaylord returned to the offense last Saturday against the Cavaliers and added a good bit toward moving the ball for the Tar Heels. But the biggest of fensive blessing Coach Snavely has had is the return of Bull David son, the fullback who was hit by polio back in September. Davidson was counted on heavily before the season started and in the opinion of Coach Snavely was probably his most outstanding runner. His absence in the Carolina lineup has definitely hurt us. But he has been practicing in the scrimmages all week, running as well as ever, and will definitely be able to see action tomorrow. His presence should certainly make a difference. , ,. x So with all apologies to Rudyard Kipling IF the Carolina line can do th job it did against Wake Forest, a job it is capable of doing, IF the pass defense can hold.and IF Davidson can add a little spark to the running offense, well we haven't beaten anybody since we took South Carolina last fall. Might as well make them our cousins again. Jar Heels Underdogs Again In Game At South Carolina Continued from page 1) starting lineup, while injuries have forced him to juggle his de fense. John Gaylord is slated to start at the right half back spot in place of Chal Port. Larry Par ker at left half, and Bud Wallace at fullback complete the Tar Heel backfield. On defease, Snavely will have a problem completing his secon dary, as two safety men and a heHback are on the injured list. Leonard Bullock, who ran 69 yards from safety to score last week against Virginia, will miss today's game because of an in fected ear, and Billy Williams is still lost to the Tar Heels. Doug Bruton was hurt in the Virginia contest, and will also have to be replaced. Halfbacks Gene Wilson and Buddy Morrell, and fullback Hoo tie Johnson, take most of the Gamecock's running chores. Wil son is one of Gramling's favorite receivers, as is right end Clyde Bennett who is fourth in the Con ference on receiving with 20 com pletions. The South Carolina defense is shaken slightly by the loss of 240 pound guard Frank Mincevich who is out with a leg injury. Bob King, a 225-po under, is a more than adequate replacement, how ever. The rest of the South Caro lina team is in top condition. The only basis for comparison of the two teams is their games against Virginia. Carolina played a good first half last week, but fell apart and bowed to the Cava liers, 34-7. South Carolina scored three touchdowns in the last min ute and 45 seconds to beat Vir ginia week-before-last, 21-14. The only Gamecock losses this year are to two powerful teams, Army and Duke. , Kickoff is at 2:00. Orange Bowl To Scout 3 Clashes MIAMI, Fla., Nov. 14 The Orange Bowl scheduling com mittee will have scouts at three different games today in search of two worthy opponents for the January 1 tussle at Miami.

Tough Terps To Be Hosts To Carolina Special to The Daily Tar Heel COLLEGE PARK, Md., Nov. 14 The Carolina soccer team ar rived here today to meet the strong eleven from the University j of Maryland this afternoon. I This is the first meeting be- i. w t-ii wiiir bwvj fccoxxio iiixd ocasuii. The Tar Heels and the Terps met once last year, with Maryland gaining a close 2-1 victory over the locals. The Old Line State has long been the stronghold of collegiate and prep soccer, with the state university usually having first call on the best talent. The Ter rapins should rank along with Penn State as the toughest foes faced by Coach Al Moore's team this season. Starting at goalie for the locals will be co-captain Ben Tison ! co-captain Barry Kalb is slated to open at right fullback, with Burnie Burnstan on his right. Buddy Barnes is at left halfback, Tommy Hopkins will be center half, and Dave Cole is the start ing right halfback.- The forward line will have Ra leigh Tremain on the outside right, with Harry Pawlik at the inside right. Gerry Russell will be the center forward. Rennie Randolph will start at inner left, while Tom Greenway will prob ably be on the outside left. Coach Moore will have several capable reserves ready for action also. Among these are Louie Pat seavorous, one of the heroes of the State win this week, Fletcher Green, Drew Patterson, Ham Hamilton and goalie Buckets Goldberg. Russell and Randolph have been the offensive standouts for the Tar Heels this season. Co captains Kalb and Tison have been dependable defensive per formers, as has Burnstan. Carolina will be looking for its fifth win of the current season. The Tar Heels own victories over three Virginia clubs plus Wed nesday's triumph over the N. C. State Wolfpack. The Old Domin ion victim of the locals were Vir ginia, Washington and Lee, and Roanoke College. Coach Moore's men have suffered three losses. They lost the season's opener to State, and were defeated by Duke and a fine Penn State eleven later in the season. The local hooters return here this coming Wednesday to close out their season against Duke, with hopes of avenging the earl ier defeat at the hands of the Blue Devils. Adolph Rupp Denies Rumors Of His Retiring This Year Special to The Daily Tab Heel LEXINGTON, Ky. Adolph kept Kentucky at the top of the Rupp, whose coaching ability has nation's basketball teams, will be around for at least four more sea sons, possibly more. "I'll not retire until the man who said Kentucky can't play in the NCAA hands me the national championship trophy." The veteran .tutor told a civic club yesterday he wanted to pike rumors of his pending re tirement rumors whose origin ! Kentucky. he can't explain. Rupp also stated that the causes that led to action against Ken tucky by the NCAA and the Southeastern Conference "were completely beyond our control." The school has1 maintained that gifts to play were made without knowledge of university author ities. Despite this, the SEC suspend ed the school in basketball this year and the NCAA council rec ommended probation, suggesting other NCAA members not play Blue Devils Play Wake Forest Today In Big Four Scrap; State To Play Pitt The twice-in-a-row beaten Blue Devils of Duke will try to break a four-year string of victories by Wake Forest when they meet the Deacons today in Baptist Hollow in a game whose winner will probably take the Big Four crown. Not since 1947 has the usually favored Duke eleven been able to fill that roll successfully as year after year they heve been upended by the fighting Deacons. Duke began the season with a team that was predicted to be one of the strongest in the South, but they have faded in their last two outings. Since their impres sive win over Virginia three Sat urdays ago they have lost succes sive engagaments to the powerful Georgia Tech wreckers and a sur prisingly strong Navy team. The question today will be whe ther Bill Murray, Duke coach, will be able to pull his forces together after the terrific psychological licking they have taken in the last two weeks. In past experiences Murray has proved to be pretty "good at keep ing his team in the right frame of mind but two straight defeats to a team which was high in the national rankings may have done irreparable damage. Outstanding feature of the two Blue Devil defeats has been the poor performances of Worth (A Million) Lutz, and the Duke fol lowing are beginning to wonder if he shouldn't be tabbed Worth (Less) Lutz instead. After a very auspicious begin ning when he was outstanding both on running and passing, his performances have not been up to par. The Duke defense, which was one of the best in the country until the twin trimmings has al so failed to continue its early season performances. They sur rendered four touchdowns to Georgia Tech and two to Navy. Wake Forest has been pointing to this game all season and al though the Deacons absorbed a licking last week from Texas Christian, they will be in high spirits for today's game. Should the Deacons win this one they will only need a win over N. C. State to take then third Big Four championship in a row. Therefore, this is the big one as far as Wake Forest is con cerned as State will probably of fer little resistance. The Wolfpack of N. C. State, revitalized by their upset vic tory over Washington and Lee last week run into a much strong er foe this week' and it's almost a sure bet that they, will lose. State travels to Pittsburg to take on the University of Pitts burg, a team .which may end up in the Sugar Bowl. Among other things this season, the Pitt Pan thers were victors over a Notre Dame team which has turned out to be one of the best in the country. 1 WEEK-END HOUSE CLEANING SAL SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY This week Overstocked in Philosophy, Educa tion, the Sciences, Nature and Hobby Books at sharp reductions.
