A Good Trade In
TWO WEEKS AGO YOU couldn't have gotten a trade with 20
points on Carolina's sputtering model-T, but since Coach Carl Snavely
has added Dyna-Flo Worrell to his offensive engine people are be
ginning to figure that the Tar Heels might run pretty well Saturday
against Duke. With Marshall Newman as the driver the dealers
believe the new '52 Carolina model ought to be a pretty good trade
with Duke if you throw in seven points.'
Since we beat South Carolina last Saturday people have started
looking on the Tar Heels with kinder thoughts in their minds. And
this boy Dyna-Flo is the big reason we took the Gamecocks and
our big hope, along with quarterback Newman, to give the Blue
Devils an upsetting. Withoiit Worrell our offense at Columbia might
have been as mediocre as in the past games. It's right amusing to
look over the Carolina team statistics and look at the offensive
running averages. Leading the list is Larry Parker, who did some
fine running in his own right at South Carolina, with a total of 142
yards in six games. Chal Port, who trotted 73 yards against Wake
Forest, has a total of 119. But the funny part concerns Worrell, who
has 120 yards to his credit all of it in the South Carolina game.
Backs At It Again
SO YOU CAN SEE that a lot will depend on this Wilmington
fire horse and what he can do against the oft-tried and thoroughly
tested Duke line. That Blue Devil forward wall ranks as the best
in the Southern Conference so its evident the Dyna-Flo will have
to be shifted in to high gear for the game. If anybody can do it
then it seems that Worrell is the man. He showed a good bit of
everything at Columbia, gaining up the middle, around the end,
off tackle and just about anywhere Newman and Charlie Motta sent
him.
With Dyna-Flo at halfback Coach Snavely will have probably
his best backfield since the Notre Dame game when Bob White got
shipped to the sidelines with a fractured cheek. Parker will definitely
be a starter and if he can run as well as he did at South Carolina-
at the same time keeping a handle on the ball then the Duke line
will be in for a testy day of it. Then, too, King Carl will have John
Gaylord, Bud Wallace, George Wallin, Bull Davidson, and Connie
Gravitte to throw in there to make sure the Tar Heels keep rolling,
In The Hole
BUT IT'S STILL a basic principle of football that to keep the
backfield going you need the linemen up front. Next to Worrell's
revelation probably the most inspiring part of Carolina's victory over
South Carolina was the improvement the line showed on offense
and defense. One of the main reasons we weren't able to move the
ball and give Newman good protection early in the season was the
inexperience of the offense line. If there isn't some kind of hole
in the line then the Choo himself couldn't make any headway.
The defensive bunch stacks up with the Blue Devils pretty
well. Francis Fredere seems to have finally found what to do with
his 221 pounds and was a standout against the Gamecocks, especially
in the second half when he broke up so many pass plays before
they got started. Thad Eure played his best gairie of the season
against South Carolina. With Jim McCreedy nursing a slight injury
he will probably be in for a good bit of action. Coach Carl Snavely
will have his most dependable linemen in action, too. Tom Higgins,
George Norris, Junior Seawell, and Dan Mainer have consistently
been play stoppers all season long and there's no reason they can't
do the same tomorrow. ,
Can The Director Produce
NEWMAN, AS THE DIRECTOR of producer's Snavely's play,
will have a lot of pressure on him when he faces the Devils but
he's shown every indication of being able to handle the situation.
The Clinton freshman was off on his passing against Virginia, the
last time Chapel Hill stay-at-homes saw the Tar Heels (and what
a sight it was), but his performance against the Gamecocks made up
for it. He continues to look better on the option play and seems to
have recognized his ability to run with the ball. He had a creditable
3 3 vards-per-try average against the Gamecocks, wftictt is good
for a passer when you consider he has a lot of distance knocked
off when he is trapped trying to get the ball off. A lot of his yardage
came when he took the ball from the SC 35 to the 10 after being
trapped back of the 50 while trying to pass.
So with our sudden turn onto the victory highway, the addition
of a ood front bumper, Dyna-Flo added to the engine, and a much-
improved driver at the wheel, the Carolina model-T might run
r.rpttv well tomorrow. I believe let traae iz even zor wie raiuuu-

Globetrotters Will Be
in Raleigh Saturday
Carolina head football coach
pulled the shroud of secrecy even
further over the pre-game prac
tice of his team as the Tar Heels
went through their last exten
sive workout before meeting
Duke here tomorrow.
Chapel Hill police were doubt
ful about the security risk of
anyone not in a Carolina practice
uniform. The secrecy was justi
fied, as Snavely put the team
through its paces, and ran most
of the Tar Heel plays.
Snavely alternated two back
fields against the jayvee secon
dary, quarterbacks Charlie Mot
ta and Marshall Newman sharing
the duties in a passing drill.
Defensive assistant coach Jim
Gill worked with the Tar Heel
defensive line, stressing the off
tackle and end plays of Duke's
powerful" backs, Jack Kistler and
Charlie Smith. Coach George
Radman continued to drill " the
first string secondary on the pas
sing of Duke quarterbacks Worth
Lutz and Jerry Barger, and con
centrated especially on the plays
to end Howard Pitt.
A dark spot in the outlook for
Carolina was the injury of Chal
Port in practice Tuesday. Port
pulled a muscle in his right thigh
while running, and trainer Fritz
Lutz reports that he will defin
itely be lost in tomorrow's con
test. Port has one of the top rush
ing averages on the team, and ex
celled at defense last week
against South Carolina.
The team worked out on Fet-
zer Field, yesterday because the
lower Navy Field was a quagmire
of mud, and practice was cut
shorter than previous ones this
week as there are no lights. The
Tar Heels will run through a
light workout tomorrow, their
last before the game.
The weather was a slight wor
ry to Carolina coaches, as the
weather bureau predicted warm
and sunny skies for the game and
the team accustomed to the cool
ness of this week. Any handicap
it has on Carolina will be on
Duke too, however.
The Blue Devils finished their
serious workouts for the week
yesterday, too, and coach Bill
Murray was pleased with the
showing his charges made. The
Duke spirit has been low for the
past three weeks, but the Blue
Devils are way up for Carolina
and are out to win for the third
straight year. A Duke win will
give the Blue Devil seniors a per
fect slate against Carolina.
Duke is first in the Southern
Conference, and has already
beaten Wake Forest and State,
the other two Big Four teams.
Tomorrow's game is Duke's last
of the year, and win will give it
undisputed first place in both
Conference and Big Four play.
Duke has been paced all year
by the passing of quarterback
Worth Lutz and a strong defen
sive line, headed by two massive
tackles. Lutz and right end Ho
ward Pitt have been a deadly
RALEIGH, N. C, Nov. 20 A big
basketball doubleheader is set
for the William Neal Reynolds
Coliseum at North Carolina State
College Saturday night at 8:30
o'clock.
The spotlight will be on the
fabulous Harlem Globetrotters,
who will meet the Boston Whirl
winds in the finale of the twin
bill. The other two teams are the
Philadelphia Warriors and the
Baltimore Bullets, who will clash
in a regular National Basketball
Association league game.
Seldom do fans in this section
have the opportunity of seeing a
regular NBA game. Some of bas
ketball's most famous names are
in the Philadelphia and Balti
more lineups.
Among the famous players who
will be in the Philadelphia line
up will be Bill Mlkvy, former
Temple University star; Ed Mi
kan, brother of the famed big
George and himself an ex-Depaul
great; and Don Lofgran, who
played in the Coliseum against
N. C. State while a member of
the San Francisco University
team.

Top Player
Special to The Daily Tar Heel
NEW YORK, Nov. 20 Hank
Sauer, the rags to riches out
fielder of the Chicago Cubs, to
day was named the Most Val
uable Player in the National Lea
gue for 1952 by the Baseball Writ
ers Association of America.
The selection of the 33-year-old
Chicago slugger came as a
surprise to many as Sauer slump
ed badly during the last month
of the season following a brilliant
start.
Sauer won his circuit's highest
honor by a narrow margin over
Robin Roberts, the graceful right
hander of the Philadelphia Phil
lies, and Joe Black, the rookie
relief expert of the pennant-winning
Brooklyn Dodgers.
The Chicago star collected 226
points out of a possible 336. Rob
erts, who won more games than
any other pitcher, 28, finished sec
ond with 211. Black was third
with 208.
Three writers from each major
league city participated in the
balloting.. Points were awarded
on 14 for a first-place vote, nine
for second, eight for third and
so on.
colleges where they first gained
sports fame included Moe Rado
vich, Wyoming; Nelson Bobb,
Temple; Neil Johnston, Ohio
State; Andy Phillip, Illinois;
George Senesky, St. Joseph's; Joe
Fulks, Murray State; and Claude
Overton, East Central Oklahoma.
The Warriors captured the loop
title in 1946-47 and took Eastern
Division honors in 1947-48 and in
1950-51. They've never finished
lower than fourth and thereby
have always qualified for the
post-season playoffs. Only twice
have they been under the .500
mark for the season.
W. Z. Betts, director of the
Coliseum, said the pre-game tic
ket sales have been "very good."
He reported that all $3.00 tickets
have been sold, and the remain
ing ducats are going at a fast
pace. Tickets may be obtained at
the Coliseum Box Office, North
Carolina State College, Raleigh.

Oklahoma Stays
With Big Seven
NORMAN, Okla., Nov. 20 The
University of Oklahoma and the
rest of the Big Seven Conference
were apparently in tune again
today after the Sooner s backed
down on a move to bolt a con
ference rule and play in a post
season football game.
University officials and team
members decided yesterday that
they would rather stay in the
Big Seven than play in the Oran
ge Bowl and thus violate the
post-season game ban, reaffirm
ed by the conference only last
week.
But they were still hoping that
the conference would make an
exception or abolish the rule and
