THE DAILY TAR HEL Wesf Virg For Mew Years SC May Elect To Raise Ban Terps And Baylor Interested In Bids By Hugh Fullerton, Jr. NEW YORK, Nov. 6 (JP A decisive step toward clarifying fhis season's football bowl situation was taken Thursday by the South ern Conference Special Events Committee. Several other steps likely will be taken tomorrow by various bowl-minded teams. Which Carolina?

' Position in the Tar Heel lineup, The Mountaineers already have suffered a bruised hip last hppn listed as likelv rprioipnts tit . wee bids from the Sugar Bowl or Cot ton Bowl if the conference grants permission. The other unbeaten-untied big gies are Notre Dame, the nation's No. 1 team and one which defi nitely isn't interested in bowl games; and Maryland and Baylor, which definitely are. Illinois, tied but undefeated and ranked fourth in this week's Associated Press poll, also is a bowl candidate. The "automatic" bowl setups bring together the Big Ten and Pacific Coast champions in the Rose Bowl, the Atlantic and Big Seven- in the Orange Bowl, and send the Southwest Conference champion against an invited out sider in the Cotton BowL The Sugar Bowl has no tieup, but usually for the Southeastern Conference champion. As far as- this week's games are concerned, here's what that means: Illinois, the Big Ten leader, has CAROLINA FRESHMAN backfield standouts Roger Killets, Doug Farmer, Don Klochak and Larry McMullen. Coach Jim Gilf had counted heavily on this quartet to carry the brunt of the running labors against the Terrapin yearlings in the game which they had scheduled for yesterday. However, extreme bad weather prevented the playing of the game. Blue Devils To Battle Midshipmen In Attempt To Lift National Rating Frosh Game Cancelled Due To Heavy Snow Sub-freezing temperatures and snow forced the cancellation of the Carolina - Maryland freshman game which was to be played at College Park yesterday. The ex treme cold wave which moved in early Friday morning from the north made the idea of playing the game completely out of ' the question. It would have been the third game of the season for the Tar Heels who have gained a split in two contests thus far. They lost to a highly spirited Wake Forest eleven by one touchdown and then gained a surprise victory over the University of Virginia yearlings in a game held at Chapel Hill. Virginia was reputed to have one of the most outstanding frosh teams in the country, having gar nered much of the nation's top prep talent in their frelhman class. The loss of the Maryland game will cut the already limited Tar I Baby schedule to four games. Thursday they will journey to Rockingham where they will face the South Carolina frosh and, af ter another week's layoff, will play Duke at Chapel Hill in a benefit game with the proceeds going to charity. era Conference. Baylor, leader ot the anything-can-happen South west Conference, encounters runner-up Texas in another important contest In the national setup, Notre Dame's game with Pennsylvania at Philadelphia stands out. As us ual, Notre Dame is the favorite, but Penn has shown itself to be surprisingly strong and managed to tie the Irish a year ago.

The weatherman predicted it will be clear and cold for the game but the field still will be soggy. Duke is out to stay among the Associated Press' first 10 from which it was ousted a month ago in losing to the other service academy. Army, 14-13. It was Duke's only loss and it got back to No. 10 after whipping North Carolina State and Virginia. Navy, after great early season promise, hit the skids against Penn and Notre Dame. Tomorrow's situation is almost the same as it was before the 1952 Duke-Navy game. Duke had been beaten 'only once, by Georgia Tech. Navy had just finished tying Penn and los ing to Notre Dame. The Middies came through with a 16-6 tri umph. Duke will be without its first string right halfback, Red Smith, who was hurt last Saturday against Virginia. Nick McKeithan will take his place. Navy's first stringers all are ready to play. Loss Records To Come To End As Davidson Faces Generals Orange Bowl package by beating troublesome Missouri.

UNC Harriers Host To Blue Devils Monday The Carolina cross-country team will' meet the Duke Blue Devils here Monday afternoon at 4:15. Coach Dale Ranson's boys will be going after their third victory of the year, having split four en gagements thus far. The two squads have not met this year but Carolina is favored by their earl ier showings. The Tar Heels will be led by little Bob Barden, a 130-pound speedster who came from behiid to take first place in last Satur-1 day's match . with Tennessee and set a new course record in the process. Al Marx and John Hough ton are also being counted on to 'down the visitors. Duke took a souCS drubbing from N. C. State Thursday when they failed to place anyone in the first five positions. The State vic tory enabled the Wolfpack to wrap up the Atlantic Coast Con ference Chamiponship for the year. They also won the Southern Con ference title in 1951 and 1952. Preceding the varsity match; the UNC freshman harriers, un defeated in four meets, tackle the Duke yearlings. In a previous meet ing between the two squads earl ier in the year, the Tar Heels won handily as Jim Beatty came in first. Jim Garner, Marion Griffiif, Dick MacFadden, and Bob Har rington are other boys who have been turning in good times. William and Mary will also be here next week as they come to town Thursday for a varsity match only. The Carolina freshmen will meet State College before that one. WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. Nov. 6 Davidson and Washington and Lee meet in a Southern Confer ence gridiron battle here tomor row, and somebody's six-game los ing streak is bound to come to an end. Davidson's Wildcats are winless for the season. Harvard was the latest of half a dozen conquerors. drubbing Coach Bill Dole's charges last week. Washington and Lee's Generals, under the tutorship of Carl Wise, have lost six in a row after down ing little Shepherd College in the season opener. A crowd of 5,000 or more de pending on the weathe"r is ex pected to see tomorrow's contest in Bowman Gray Stadium. Kick off time is 2 p.m. The weatherman promised a chiller, with freezing temperatures forecast here early tomorrow. But clear skies are expected to bring the mercury up to the 40's by game time. In spite of past performances, the battle shapes up as a potential thriller. In view of past' records, the two squads are rated a toss-up. And in them will be shown some of the top individual talent of the conference. The Generals will rely mainly on the passing and quarterback ing of Joe Lindsey, the Galax, Va., sensation who stepped into; the shoes of Gil Bocetti two sea-! sons ago. Lindsey will enter the game as the conference's leading passer. Coach Wise said that two re serve tackles would get the start ing nod, replacing Harold Brooks and Bob Lafferty. The starters will be Jerry Murphy and Bill Manning. Wise said movies of last week's loss to George WTashington showed the second-stringers had outplayed the regulars. For Davidson, halfback Jimmy Thacker is expected to be the key man as usuaL He is one of the national leaders in returning kick offs and punts, and is one of the finest punters in the South. Injuries to key men will plague the Wildcats. Regular fullback Leroy Fargason will not start be cause of an injury in the Harvard game. Johnny Gray, No. 1 qiar terback, is still on the sidelines, along with Captain Ben Craig, a guard. uLo hem developed! THE DAILY TAR HEEL v..
