Big Four FootballAnother Sad Saturday
It looks like a rough weekend for the Big Four.
All four schools with the possible exception of Wake Porest,"
have drawn tough Saturday afternoon assignments, and three of the
local aggregations are ticketed for underdog roles fay the oddsmakers.
Duke's comeback Blue Devils face the strongest foe when they
entertain the country's ninth ranked team, Tennessee, in Duke Sta
dium. State meets the ACC's only unbeaten squad, Clemson, under
the lights in Raleigh; Carolina travels to Columbia, S.C., where they
will challenge the South Carolina Gamecocks; and Wake Forest,
surprise of the year in the ACC so far, tangles with lowly Virginia.
TAR HEELS SEARCH FOR WINNING COMBO
Carolina, off to one of their worst starts in years under new
Coach Jim Tatum, will be looking for the key to a winning combina
tion tomorrow when they clash with the Gamecocks. And if early
season results are any indication, it may be a sad day for the Tar
Heels.
Coach Warren Giese, former pupil of Tatum at Maryland, has
moulded a powerhouse in his first year at Columbia. The Gamecocks
have a 2-1 record for the season, losing to Miami while winning
from Wofford and Duke. On the other hand, the old master's Tar
Heels have had rather rough sledding, losing to both State and
Oklahoma by decisive margins. '
Tar Heel fans are hoping their 'mystery team' will click tomor
row for the first time this year. Tatum says there's no reason Why
the shouldn't. And yet, we intend to remain on the skeptical, 'wait
and see side of the fence until the Tar Heels show something be
sides promise to back up their coach's optimistic words.
LONG ROAD TO SEASON'S END
The power of positive thinking has done wonders in the past,
and can do no harm at any time. And certainly we think no coach
should be without it, unless he happens to have the material of Bud
Wilkinson. But let's face it. Carolina has a losing football team
now, and unless something can be done to improve the situation,
it's going to be a long, long season for our Tar Heels.
South Carolina has a slick, sharp' ball club and an energetic
young coach. They have a porent split-T offense built around vet
eran signal caller Mackie Prickett and a pair of sophomore half
backs, Alex Hawkins and King Dixon.
Carolina has a ball club that has admittedly shown some poten
tial, although it has seldom been realized. One big factor that may
result in an improved showing by the Tar Heels is the return of
quarterback Dave Reed to the" lineup.
TEAM PERFORMANCE DEPENDS ON LINE PLAY
Reed is backed up by a backfield that could go if the blocking
was available up front. Ed Sutton is a top flight halfback in any
body's league and the rest of the backs are capable performers.
The main problem seems to lie up front. The forward wall just
hasn't jelled yet, and without a strong line, both the offense and
cefense will continue to suffer.
Although the Gamecocks rate the edge on paper, the game could
develop into a real dogfight. We believe the Tar Heels are ready for
their best effort of the season, but whether or not it will be enough
to carry the day remains to be seen. South Carolina 14, Carolina 6.
A BRIEF LOOK AROUND THE CIRCUIT
Briefly let's take a look around the remainder of the Big Four.
The Duke-Tennessee scrap shapes up as a rock 'em, sock 'em battle
of the Wallace Wade-Bob Neyland tradition. Both squads have an
abundance of talent. The Vols are ranked higher in the nation, but
don't let this fool you. Duke proved last Saturday against Virginia
that they have completely recovered from their shocking loss to
South Carolina, and are now a force to be reckoned with.
But when, all is said and done, the Blue Devils must play a very
good football team today. And with ace quarterback Sonny Jurgen
sen available for only limited duty at best, the Vols must be picked
to take their first win over a Duke team since 1951. Tennessee 20,
Duke 14. .
State's up and down Wolfpack, still in a state of shock after last
week' VPI debacle, will find themselves grabbing a Tiger by the
tail tomorrow night when Clemson invades Riddick Stadium.. Coach
Frank Howard's Tigers have established themselves as prime candi
dates for the January 1 Orange Bowl date in Miami, and we don't
believe they'll let State stand in their way. Another down for the
Pack. Clemson 27, State 7.
Wake Forest is the only Big Four squad with a better than even
chance of emerging victorious from tomorrow's pigskin wars. The
surprising Deacons, who lost to Maryland by only one touchdown
last Saturday, should be able to ride to victory if the churning Jegs
of Bullet Bill Barnes, the nation's leading ground gainer, hold up.
And if they can stop the Plunging Persian, Cavalier fullback Jim
Bahkatiar. Wake Forest 19, Vrginia 7. ,
Yearling Soccer Team
Improving, Says Coach
Freshman coach John Wiennatz
got his first look at the Carolina
freshman soccer team Tuesday and
appeared to be very pleased. Speak
ing of their scrimmage with the
varsity, Wienatz stated that the
squad looked good. '"They do need
experience, however," he added.
Some of the outstanding per
formers thus far, are inside front
John Ghanen, center forward Mike
Thomson, halfbacks Tate Robert
son and Hugh Goodmore, and full
backs Merritt Mitchell and ' Gor
don Street.
The freshmen booters open the
season against N.C. State in Ra
leigh, Oct. 17.
The schedule:
Oct. 17 N.C. State away
Oct. 26" N.C. State home
Nov. 1 Duke home

Footballers To Meet
Wake Forest Tonight
By BILL KING
Daily Tar Heel Sports Writer
Carolina's freshman football
team makes its 1956 debut in Sen
ior High Stadium, Greensboro, to
night as they go against the Wake
Forest Frosh at 8:00 p.m.
Tonight also marks the initial
start for coach Fred Tullai, ex
lineman from Maryland in his first
year with Carolina. Tullai played
under Jim Tatum at Maryland last
season and made the switch with
the Tar Heel mentor from Mary
land. Tullai sent the Tar Babies
through a final workout at Navy
Field yesterday in preparation for
tonight's opener. The main empha
sis was on defense with very little
contact work.
Physically, the Tar Heel Frosh
should be in top shape as there
hav been only a few minor in
juries thus far. Coach Tullai com
mented yesterday that injuries
would not handicap the squad at
all, and. that he felt that his club
would be ready for the Baby Deacs
tonight. Wake Forest defeated the
South Carolina yearlings 6-0 last
week in their season opener.
The Tar Babies will have an all-

BROOKLYN, Oct. 4 (AT) Big
Don Newcombe, Brooklyn's 27
game winner, faces the New York
Yankees' Don Larsen today in the
rain-delayed second game of the
World Series with an extra 24
hours rest after the gruelling Na
tional League pennant race.
Commissoner Ford Frick wisely
ordered yesterday's postponement
two hours before game time with
heavy showers beating down on
Ebbets Field and a "very bad"
weather forecast for the rest of
the day. At game time the rain
still was pouring down on the in
field covering.
According to the weather man,
the rain was to stop in early morn
ing. The forecast for today was
clear and cool with the tempera
ture in the 60s.
Frosh Runners
Entertain Imps
Carolina's freshman cross coun
try team opens the 1956 season at
Fetzer Field this afternoon against
the Duke University freshmen.
The Tar Baby runners have a
tough row to hoe if they expect to
live up to last year's yearling team
which went undefeated, but coach
Boyd Newnam has an outstanding
group of runners to work with.
Pacing the Tar Baby tracksters
will be Cowles Liipfert, last year's
state high school mile champ from
Winston-Salem. Running behind
Liipfert will be Fick Arthur, John
Green, Ray Bagwell, Larry With
rop, John Richardson, James Pack

Tullai is very pleased with his
team's showing in pre-season prac

his young squad. "We look better
every day," he said. "So far the
boys have shown a lot of spirit
and hustle. They seem to have that
desire to win." The Tar Baby
coach concluded. "We want " to i

McMullen Replaces Vdrnum
Varnum on the first team. Varnum,
won the halfback post from Mc
Mullen when he turned in a fine
performance in the Tar Heel's sea

The Tar Heels were dressed in
sweat pants and shoulder pads yes
terday and went through signal
drills and sharpened up on defense.
Tatum never sends his squad on
the practice field on the day be
fore a game, so the Tar Heels will
rest today.
Trainer John Lacey has announc
ed that the entire team is in good
shape and that forty two players
will make the trip to South Caro
lina. The Tar Heels will be missing
the services of co-captain and cen
ter George Stavnitski who suffered
a brain concussion in the Okla
homa game and is still in a hos
pital in Norman.
Doctors at the hospital say that
big George is coming along "very
nicely" and may be able to leave
for home this weekend. Stavnitski
was injured on the first play of
the second half last weekend in
the Tar Heel's 36-0 loss to the num
ber one ranked Sooners.
The Tar Heels are scheduled to
leave the Raleigh-Durham Airport
tonight at 8 o'clock and are due
to arrive in Columbia at 8:55 p.m.
Game time is 2:30 p.m. and the Tar
Heels will return to Chapel Hill

Baseball Team
Finishes Week
Of Workouts
Sunny weather and a lively two
and one-half hour practice and
scrimmage session brought to a
close the first week of fall base
ball practice at UNC Wednesday.
Jabb was very enthusiastic a
bout the Wednesday practice and
said that the boys were shaping,
up very nicely. The congenial Tar
Heel coach said that he was par
ticularly pleased with some of his
pitchers.
Lack of pitching depth proved
to be a real headache to Rabb
last year, as the Tar Heels had
only a couple of front-line hurl
ers. Rabb is hoping that the sit
uation will be different this year
i and has expressed much enthus
iasm about that department. "I
believe we'll have depth this sea
son," said Rabb. "It looks as
though we have some good pros
pects coming up," he added.
Practice will continue- at Emer
son Stadium for the next week
or ten days.

Cross-Country Squad
Tangles With Virginia
Carolina's varsity cross-country
squad makes its initial start of the j
season
here this afternoon at 4
p.m. on Fetzer Field against the
Cavaliers from the University of
Virginia.
Coach Dale Ranson's team, last
year's state champions, will be pac
ed by senior co-captain Jim Beatty,
the defending ACC champ. He will
be capably backed up by junior i
letterman Everett Whatley and co
captain Marion -Griffin in the ex
pected number two and three spots.
Other runners on the eight man
official team include sophomore
whiz Dave Scurlock, Ben Williams,
Perrin Henderson, Alex Coffin and
Doug Henderson. Running unoffi
cially will be Walt Mills, Howard
Kahn, Jim Hunter, Baily Liipfert,
Nick Palmer and Bill Luesing.
Wayne Bishop, number one man
on last season's frosh squad, will
miss the meet due to a leg injury.
It is not known how long he will
be out of action. It is feared that
he may be sidelined for the entire
campaign.
Although the squad showing in
recent time trials has been disap
pointing, Coach Ranson expects
performances to improve under the
pressure of competition.
The Tar Heels walloped Virginia
by a wide margin last season, and
will be favored to turn the trick
again in today's meet. Little is
known about the Cavaliers, but
