WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1954 TJ .THE DAILY TAR HEEL PACE THRli The Hill By FRED BABSON Halfback'. G Carolina Any resemblance between the following and a sports column may be attributed to the generous and gracious imagination of the reader in assuming the DTI I sports editorship, we wish to acknowledge the proiicier.ey with which this department has been managed by our renown predecessor, Tom Peacock, whose retirement was prompt ed by the exigency to devote more attention to his law studies. In lact, it is with a certain feeling of ineptness that we deliver our meager offerings, following on the heels of a scribe who has been referred to as ' the best yet." However, with full cognizance of our shortcomings and not wishing to commit journalistic suicide with an exudation of self-confidence to any degree, it is with mere devotion, to duty that we commit ourselves with a promise to strive for con tinuation of the excellent coverage of sports that you have hereto fore had access to on this page. Diving Off The Deep End As we are herewith baptized into the ranks of sports prognosti cators and Monday morning quarterbacks, we shall dive headlong into the subject at hand. This season seems to be one of bigger and better upsets. The reigning grid powers of a year ago, with a cou ple of exceptions, have had their , aplomb shaken early and rudely. Maryland, Notre Dame, and Michigan State, who woun up last sea son in one, two, three order have already had any hopes they might have harbored for an undefeated season dashed to pieces. Such ag gregations as Purdue, impudent spoilers of the Irish 13-game winning skein; Iowa, Spartan-conquerors; Wisconsin, and Duke have not only established themselves as powers to be dealt with, but have served notice that they might do a little dealing themselves. Okla homa and UCLA, fourth and fifth, respectively, in the final AP poll last year are the exceptions. The Sooners moved to the head of the pack when Terence Brennan's Irish were tumbled, and the UCLAns thumped mighty Maryland, enabling them to keep a hot breath . down Oklahoma's neck from the second spot. Acid tests are in store for several of the grid Goliaths come next Saturday. Oklahoma must wrestle its traditional rival, Texas; either Duke or Purdue will un doubtably fall from the magic ten when the outcome of their head en clash in Durham is settled. In Memoriam: The usual jocular air that pervades the dining room of the Mono gram Club was replaced by a somber silence when the Tar Heel athletes assembled for dinner Monday evening. The quips that gen erally fly freely were transmuted into brief, sober remarks, and onlv of necessity were these uttered. Joviality yielded to respectful tran quillity. The athletes were reacting to the death of their beloved trainer, Fitz Lutz, by paying him the most natural and perhaps greatest, tribute possible respectful silence to his memory. When one of the players pulled a muscle or sprained his back, it was Fitz's deft touch that relieved the pain and msHe recovery swift. He went out of his way to insure the safety, well-being, and comfort of "my boys," as he called them. He understood young men, and in his quiet way he performed many, varied tasks to help them along. Sometimes it was a brisk rubdown: sometimes it was a soft word of reassurance to a lad in dejection. Fitz was head trainer at Georgia for a number of years. He want ed, mere than anyone, to see Carolina take the field against Geor gia Saturday and walk off victorious. If the Tar Heels win this one Saturday, it will be for Fitz. If they lose, he will know they tried. Dark Horses Grab Lead !n Caroiinas Tourney raviffe nie N a r - t ' , "A - ? -1 .1 r . . j . - I CONNIE GRAVITTE . "Athlete of the Week' a me Week Connie Gravitte, Carolina's highest scoring back at the mo ment, has been selected by vote of The Daily Tar Heel sports staff as "Athlete of the Week." Gravitte scored UNC's only' touchdown last week against Tu lane when the Green Wave dead locked the Tar Heels in New Or leans, 7-7. Gravitte's score gave him two touchdowns for the sea son, more than any other Carolina back. Connie won the award by slight margins over tackle Roland Per due and guard Bill Koman. Gravitte, who was the No. 2 ground-gainer for the Tar Heels last season, was personally re sponsible for 110 yards Saturday against Tulane. He ran the ball 13 times for an average of about eight and one-half yards per car ry. The fleet halfback also return ed two punts for a total of 26 yards. Gravitte is "also a star outfield er on the baseball team and has been planning on a professional baseball career. A native Carolinian (Roxboro), Gravitte stands six feet even, weights 195 pounds and is a 20-year-old senior Barclay Stresses Aerial Game As Tar Heels Prep For Georgia Tilt Bullock Runs First Team In Practice As Carolina.

Barclay sent the Tar Heels through a lengthy passing drill yes terday with Len Bullock, Marshall Newman, and Albert Long heaving the leather. Bullock has been working with the first team for two days now, and although Bar clay has announced no definite terback post. If Bullock moves into the starting . line-up against Georgia it will mean an advance ment per week for the Tar Heel signal caller. Barclay also put much emphasis on defense yesterday. The fresh men team ran through the Geor- j gia. plays and the Tar Heels showed j great defensive promise in the hard scrimmage. The frosh could , hardly move the ball against the Carolina defense. John Jones, a sophomore from Richmond, Va., moved into the left tackle post on the first team, left vacant by Jack Maultsby's leg injury. Maultsby watched practice from the sidelines on crutches. Line Coach Marvin Bass worked with the linemen on the tricky Georgia defense. The Bulldogs oftei employ a four-man line with the tackles spread wide and a cou ple of linebackers bunched to- ; gether to guard the center area. Davis Cup Group Worried By Vic Seixas' Loss Of Form BOB and MONK - of town -a GREENSBORO, N. C, Oct. 5 W Clarence Owen, 50-year-old pro at the Catawba Country Club in Hickory, and "Ralph Lang of Roar ing Gap, who has been a Tar Heel pro for more than a decade, shot three-under-par 68s here' today to become surprise leaders after the first round of the 72-hole Caroiinas PGA golf tournament. Both Owen and Lang, neither given a chance to win the PGA event before they teed off today, knocked three strokes off par at the Green Valfy Course on the front line and' matched regular coming in for identical 34-34 63 cards. Al Smith of Danville, Va., the defending champion, came in with a one-under-par 70, as did Avery Beck of Kinston who is playing in his first PGA tournament.

Tomorrow the pros and ama teurs will play the second 18 holes, with a 36 hole wind-up round scheduled on Thursday. In tody's action, just four pros and four ama teurs broke par on the sun-dried ' course on which 300-yard drives were not unusual with the long i rolls. Three other pros match reg ulation.

(Wel terweight champion Kid Gavilan doesn't think Johnny Saxton is going to go to jail the day after he meets the Keed in a title fight in Philadelphia, Oct. 20. "How he go to jail?" asked the fun- -loving Gavilan at his training camp. "First he is going to be in hospital long time. You know, he fight the champion." Saxton was sentenced to a 15-day jail term for 12 traffic violations , yesterday. He will start serving his time the day after the fight. ft 1 i i ,. I Name Address : City I NEW YORK, Oct. ; 5 Wt The United States Davis Cup commit tee meets Thursday to pick a team for the annual Australian tennis pilgrimage, and there's no hiding its concern over Vic Seixas's sudden loss of form. "No doubt about it, I would- n't trust a singles job to Vic in Australia on the way he played j in Mexico," one member of the j committee said today. ; Seixas, a disappointment in Davis Cup competion in Australia last December, was beaten in straight sets by Gustavo Palafox ' of Mexico in the American Zone ; 1 finals Saturday and was given a ' hard battle yesterday by 21-year-, old Mario Llamas. i The Americans managed to win the series, 4-1, but there were1 some anxious moments because of , the U. S. champion's erratic play, j Tony Trabert won both his sin gles matches and teamed with Seixas to take the doubles, but not easily. - j "Maybe Vic was ill or something ; that's what we'll have to find out," the U. S. Lawn Tennis Assn. spokesman said. j Seixas, who hit peak form in ; the national tournament at oFr est Hills is a cinch for a spot on the Davis Cup team. Trabert, who won the U. S. title in 1953, and much-improved Hamilton Richardson of Baton Rouge, La., also are team certainties. The fourth place is up in the air. It's a good bet the berth will go to either Bernard Bartzen, the lefty from San Angelo, Tex. WIlllAM NEAL REYNOLDS COLISEUM N. C. State College-P. O. Bo 5905 COLISEUM IN RALEIGH Nightly 8 30. Frid.
