WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2d, 1tS7 PACI FOUR THE DAILY TAR HEEL 17 ING'S ORNER By BILL KING DTH Sports Editor ' .4 . . r :. D ale Ran son- "Modest a n With ecor d Tatum Concerned About Stopping Duke Offense Jim Tatum's main concern about the Tar Heel's game with Duke Saturday is a simple one, but it carries more meaning than first meets the eye. "We've got to stop Duke, Tatum avers frankly. "Of course that's true with any team, but more so against Duke because they play possession ball." - The Tar Heel chieftain feels that his club will have to get pos session of the ball in order to win " because, "we're not the type ball , club that has many 80-yard drives. We've only driven that far, or t even close to it, once this season (against Wake Forest). We have to get them in their own territory anil get possession, then capitalize." Assistant Coach. Pat Preston had this to say: "We expect them to nunc as they have all season, mostly running, but they've proved they can pass t(." Duke Wasn't As Bad As All That Tatum Thus the Tar Heels will have their work cut out for them when they meet the Illue Devils in Duke Stadium Saturday. Nobody is tak ing this game lightly. least of all Tatum. He thinks the Blue Devils were much Iw-tter than has been indicated against Clemson last week ir.d "That Cltrmon lint didn't push Duke around so much," h said. "Those Clamson fumblts looked like bad breaks, but you'vt got to remember that the Duke line wasn't lying down and play ing dead; it was hitting hard." As an example of how touch Tatum feels the Rlue Devils will be. r - -; By BILL KING Dale Ranson is a man with a record. And what a record. For those who have never heard of Ranson, and there are some since he doesn't hit the head lines too often, he's the Caro lina cross-country and track coach. It's true, Ranson isn't one of these fellows who's always plug ging himself. But you know he's around when you take a look at Carolina's fabulously consistent cross-country and track success. STARTED IN '25 The modest, articulate Tar Heel coach has been around the Carolina campus for quite some time. In fact, his entire coach ing career has been spent right here in Chapel Hill. It dates back to 1925 when he and Coach Bob Fetzer got together to build the grand old sport of running into something that has lived and progressed here ever since. ' Speaking of cross-country on ly, Ranson has a pretty fair record to put on the line if there's any doubt about his be ing one of the truly outstanding cross-country coaches in the na tion. Back in 1936 a Ranson cross-country team won its first conference title Monday, a Ranson cross-country team won its eighteenth conference title. Eighteen championships in 33 years a right good country rec ord in 'any man's book. GREAT C-C RECORD We're not even mentioning the fine track record which he has helped compiled Over the years (Coach Fetzer has retired now) and we're not mentioning the numerous state titles, etc. which his teams have captured. His cross-country record is, in itself, indictative enough of his capabilities. Carolina has belonged to three conferences since Ranson came on the scene and. he's chalked up very impressive rec ords in each. None of his cross country teams have ever finish ed any lower than fourth, and that goes back to the days when the Tar Heels were in a 23 team conference. ELLIOT WAS FIRST All Americans? Ranson has had his share since Galan Elliot received the distinction in Han son's second year of coaching. The Tar Heel mentor estimates he's had about eight or ten or All-Americans, and for Ranson, that's probably a conservative estimate. Ranson doesn't have much to say about his records. He gives all the credit to his boys when he says:' We've had fine co operation from all the boys dur ing these years. They've always been willing to work hard for the betterment of our team." f -f; JSffXtZl mf Mi tit Ranson Tar Heel Booters Wolfpack Defense Is Most Potent Weapon In Finale At State Today By JIM Pl'RKS RALEIGH The Carolina soccer team will try to end the season with with a favorable note today when it takes on the defensively-strong N. C. Wolfpack in Raleigh at 3 p. m. Today's game marks the season finale for the hardluck Tar Heels, who have been tied in their last two conference fames. While lacking a powerful offensive punch, the State eleven will be the toughest defensive team the Tar H'M'ls have fared all season.

Affect Of Lavoff Can't Be Determined Yet How much will the layoff affect the Tar Heels? "Nobody can tell about the advantages and disadvantages of layoff until after a game," says Tatum. "It has been a great ad vantage in getting Ron Koes and Nelson Lc e ready, and it has given several other boys who have had minor injuries a chance to recover." Tatum said that, at present, only halfback Don Coker might not 1 be in top shape for the Duke fray. Coker has been bothered by an ankle injury for the past few weeks and is not recovering as rapidly as expected. Boys like Jim Schuler and lMiil Blazer are hack in jiood shape and .should be ready. Tatum says. Blue Devils Deep In Experienced Talent Preston Treston. who has scouted Duke several times this season, bad this to say about the Blue Devils: "Duke has a fine array of talent and is deep in every position. They have such depth, in fact, that MurrayfCoach Eill) sometimes doesn't even know who he'll start." Preston praised the hard-running Duke backfield highly. He pointed out the work of halfback George Outrow and fullback Harold McElhaney as vital elements in the Blue Devil's success. He also commended fullback Phil Dupler as a good replacement for the oft-injured McElhaney. As far as quarterback is concerned. Iteston feels that Bob Brod head and I'ryor Millner can run the team with equal ability and says that both are fine passers, although Duke depends mostly on a run ning game. THOMPSON PACES Pacing the high-scoring forward line for the Tar Heels will be center forward Mike Thompson, who has scored nine goals in the six games played so far this season. One of Thompson's biggest goals occurred when he scored the fifth and tying goal against Duke with 30 seconds remaining in the game, to top off 'Seven Good Men In First String Line' Preston also expressed respect for Duke's tremendous collection of reserve backs. He and Tatum both agree that the fact that com petithn for each position is so tough has a lot to do with the fine record of the Devils. "They're deep in talent," says Tatum. "They have sophomores on the bench and some other holdouts who could make most any team. Preston declined 1o single out anvbodv in the Duke line for spe cial praise saying, ' they are all ery good." He was especially im pressed with the size of the Blue Devils, conjecturing that the small est man in the line was about six feet tall. "They have seven good first string linemen." Preston said, "ant! plenty more on the bench." Today Is Last Day For $2.00 Duke Tickets Sports briefs. Another press box is being erected in Woollen Gym as Tar Heel officials prepare for the 1057-58 basketball season which opens De cember 7. The new box is a welcome sight to sportswriters who re member how tight things were in the other one last season. Two boxes should alleviate a good deal of confinement. Better get those Duke student tickets right now. Today is the last day they can be purchased for half price. Starting tomorrow, the price will be the full four bucks. Better get that passbook and ID card and hustle on down to Woollen Gym before 4:30 this aft ernoon. Jim Tatum still feels that his club's best effort of the season was Its victory over South Carolina in the last game the Tar Heels played. No Victory, No Bowl Says Navy Official Wrestling Team Will Be Better Barnes Thinks By ELLIOTT COOPER Sam Barnes, starting his eighth year as varsity wrestling coach, is i expecting his team to improve j upon last years record of four wins, live losses, and one tie. Coach Barnes has eight letter men returning from last year's squad. The eight returnees sepa rate themselves into seven differ ent weight divisions. Dave Wall, the lightest veteran, comes in at 115. Henry Rhyne and Perrin Hen derson are expected to hold down the 130 and 137 pound classes re spectively, Jeff Pyatte returns at 147. and captain Kenny Hoke is slated to start at 157. Dave Atkin son and Jack Gray both fall into the 167 pound class at the mo ment; Rob Boyette will be at 177. CANDIDATES The present squad numbers 24 I men including several members of last years excellent freshman team. Curt Champlin, Charlie Whitfield, and David Corky wiil join the team after the completion of the soccer season. The squad will also be bolstered at the heavy weight position when Larry Hayes returns to the mats next semes ter. Barnes feels that if the team is able to secure some added depth in the heavier weight classes it will have a successful season. Carolina's electrificinjj comeback against the Blue Devils. With Thompson on the forward line will be insides Tom Rand and John Ghanim. while Hick Graus man and Coleman Barks will be at the wing positions. INJURIES HAVE HURT Defensively, the Virginia and Duke games have proven costly for Carolina as the two rough games reduced the ranks of Coach Allen's firs-t string defensemen due to in juries. In the Virginia game, first-string goalie Jim Rattay was lost to the Tar Heels for the season when he suffered a fractured cheekbone fol lowing a collision in front of the goal. Ted Youhanna. a key fullback for the Tar Heels' defensive unit, was injured during the Duke game when he suffered a disclocated rib following a collision with a teammate. IIOGABOOM OUT Pete Hogaboom. who played a good second half during the Duke game sustained a sprained ankle and will also not be able to play in the State contest. Hogaboom, who had not played much this sea stn. promised to be a starter in the vacated right fullback slot for today's game. Today's game marks the season finale for the hadluck Tar Heels, who now have a 2-2-2 record for the season. In their last two outings, the Tar Heels were tied by con ference opponents Virginia and Duke.

Naval Academy ath letic dircclor, made c lear today that the Middles won't go to any football bowl game unless they beat Army. And this. Cutter emphasized, is the last he wants to hear the word bowl" mentioned until after the Army -Navy classic at Philadelphia on Nov. 30. Cutter clarified Navy 's bowl sit uation at a Washington Touchdown Club luncheon. "I yet sick and tired of hearing all this bowl talk," he said. "We are not gointf to any bowl if we don't beat Army." Navy has been prominently men tioned as a possible opponent of the Southwest Conference cham pion in the Cotton Howl at Dallas on New Year's Day.

Navy, more in-tcres-ied in bowl competition, last played in one of the big events on Jan. 1. l'jVi, when it defeated Mis- issippi in the Sugar Howl.

The de partment reminds students that tickets will sell for $4 00 after today. Students are reminded that the deadline for purchase of the $2 tickets is today at 4:30 p.m. At Duke Stadium the UNC Card Board will use the Caro lina student section to show stunts on a 20-station regional television network. At last report many Carolina students have bought tickets and are planning to make the trek to West Durham. He usually comes in with Caro lina's alternating unit, rather than starting, but when he gets on the field, there is apt to be an explosion, both on uiiense and defense. That's Emil (Moe) DeCants. exciting 130- pound junior halfback from Scranton, Pa., who could greatly annoy Duke at Durham Sat urday, if he carries on as he play ed for t he mobt part this season, and especially if he has some carry over from his performance in the South Carolin game. Some consider DeCantis Caro lina's best back. His coaches cer tainly hold him in high regard and always, talking about him. point out what a fine defensive back he is. BIG DAY Against the Gamecocks, DeCantis ran eight times for 39 net yards and pulled in a 33-yard pass for a touchdown. He also threw a touch down pass to Daley Goff. Moe can thow as well as catch passes and he is about as deadly in one art as the other. Also, he can travel, when he has the ball under his arms. Down at Miaoni this year he was a part of a backfield passing con spiracy that killed the hopes of the Hurricanes. He and Ron Marquette teamed up in two superlative run ning pass plays. On the first Moe pitched to Marquette for 43 yards to set up a touchdown. Then Mar quette turned around and threw to DeCantis for 33 and the score. That night he ran 10 times for 29 yards. DeCantis stamped himself as a fine runner as a sophomore when he was the team's second best rusher, behind only Ed Sutton. He ran 43 times for 214 yards and a 4.7 average. This year his rushing average is a little behind that, 1S6 yards in 33 tries. 3.2 average. But his versatili ty has been even more outstanding.
