Wednesday. November 2S 1952 The Daily Tar Heel Pace Tbr Down In Front By Biff Roberts Orange Bowl Bound CAROLINA'S FOOTBALL team heads for the Orange Bowl tomorrow That would make the beginning of a great story, one that would warm the hearts of thousands of Tar H-el fans but the fact is that the preface to the tale spoils it all. We will be playing in the Orange Bowl this Friday night against .Miami," but it wont be anything liKe the annual New Year's Day' game, and there wont be a crowd near the size of the one that crams-itself m there the first day of every year. Instead, it will be a Carolina team putting the finishing touches on one of its most dismal seasons on record. For most Tar Heel fans the season ended last' weekend when the Blue Devils poured it on us. There'll be a small band of stal warts heading down for our first night game since 1949 a lot of them naturally drawn by the prospects of a good weekend. To those who wrote the season off after last Saturday, all we can say is that we've still got one more game to play. Last year's team had a rPp. ord of two wins and eight losses the worst a Carl Snavely-eoached 1 team has ever experienced. If we want to exernnt r.nrcAi, from I the stigma of breaking that record then this game means a lot. If we lose, our seasonal mark goes to 1-7, which reads a good bit worse than two and eight. The Faithless Ones FRANKLY, I'M WORRIED. Not too much because of the team's performance against Duke, although it didn't do much to impress the Miami scouts, but because of the attitude that seems to be in filtrating the Chapel Kill atmosphere. It seems to me that everybody is selling everybody else down the river the students, team mem bers, coaches, et al. We've lost faith in the team, the team's lost confidence in themselves, the coaches have 'lost faith in us and the team all a vicious circle. I wouldn't be surprised if you could get eight to five at some of the well holes that the sun won't come up in the morning. Naturally we can't expect a feeling of elation over the Duke game but at least we can write it off and think about the Miami game. To win it would make the record look somewhat better. If we want to hang the whole season j' AWiSs-. -oj.iii liiy. Yc vc mere s no reason w e can i win it. Not Too Great MLAMI HAS BEEN no great shakes this season either, although they do have a 5-4 record. They sity, Richmond, Marquette, and Stetson, no great claims to fame. The losses have been to Alabama, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Florida. They are defending Gator Bowl champions, defeating Clemson, 14-0, and lost to the same Clemson team in the 1951 Orange Bowl, 15-14. But they've lost some of their most talented players from those two bowl teams and Coach Andy Gustafson has had to concentrate a good bit on building. As he put it earlier in the year, "Losing men like All-America Jim Dooley, Frank Smith, Jack Hackett, Ed Lutes, and Ray Arcangeletti all at one crack would be a tough blow to almost any football team. This is rebuilding year for us. Our squad is young and green, but we believe we have some talented youngsters who may catch fire and give us a good ball club late in the season." Miami has shown sparks during the season and a lot of those "talented youngsters" have looked stronger in the middle of the line than the team which won eight and lost three for them last year. They have three lettered defensive tackles returning and claim to be better at defensive guard, some thing which may give the Tar Heels a good bit of trouble. They have power down the middle in their running attack a fact that can cause the Carolina team quite a few points if it doesn't improve over last week's showing. On The Ropes OUR HOPES SEEM TO rest on the fact that their defensive ends and backfield have been weakened. Marshall Newman and Charlie Motta will have a little more time on passes and the option play than they did against the Blue Devils a factor which may mean the difference in scoring and not scoring. Then, too, we didn't lose anybody on injuries against the Devils and picked up an important one who couldn't play Saturday. Little Win Alexander, who made a personal battle of it against Virginia, was hurt against South Carolina and missed Duke. He will be a much needed addition to the Carolina defense. It will certainly be no easy job to beat Miami. But it seems to me that it's one that would be well worth the extra effort. There's no sense throwing in the towel because we're on the ropes. After all, Tunney got a long count. Girl's Field Hockey Squad Wins Over W.C. In 3-0 Game Carolina's Field Hockey Girl's team won their first game of the year Monday afternoon by hand ing a 3-0 white-washing to a team from Women's College.

Team Leaves On Trip t oday; Ends '52 Season Friday Night By Tom Peacock The Carolina football team will leave for Miami late today to meet the Hurricanes from the Uni versity of Miami in an attempt to close one of its poorest seasons on a bright note. The 1952 Tar Heels, winner of only one game out of seven this year, hope to celebrate their Thanksgiving on Friday night in stead of Thursday afternoon by defeating Miami under the lights in the Orange Bowl. Advance sale of tickets for the game have been poor both in Chapel Hill and in Florida, and the hue 65,000-seat bowl will be far from full. Few Carolina root- ers will forsake Thanksgiving at home to see the game' although it was designated as the yearly '"campus , trip."

The Hurricanes run from the T, but have had great success this season with a type of double wing designed for passing. The Tar Heel offense, which showed a marked improvement last week despite the loss, worked out against the jayvee team, con centrating on passing and the option play from the split-T. The Tar Heels are in the best physical shape they have been for quite some time, with all the players who suited up for Duke ready plus the addition to the lineup of defensive guard Willover for the touchdown.

It will be up to the defense to stop the passing of talented Miami quarterback John Melear and the breakaway running of Harry Mallios and Bill Smith. The Hurricanes have two men on the squad they are pushing for All-America honors, one a de fensive linebacker and the other a versatile, 60 minute guard. The linebacker is Rex Shiver, 180 po under who has made more tac kles than any other man on the Miami team in all but one game. Miami's 60 minute guard is Nick Chikillo, 220 pounds of mus cle that has given opposition" a' fit all year.
