Pag Four THE DAILY TAB HEEL Thursday, September 22, 13 SO H Ken Friedman IS i & i ,' $! B t fj h N f with C. J. qNDECWOOD 1 i l : : To View Jack Tillery. . ' . ' That's the boy they're all talking about now. Of course, this isn't the first time Tillery has been the ob ject of raves. His fellow football players and others closely associated with the team have known about the astounding capabilities of this fireball for quite awhile. But there was always a great deal of skepticism attached to any evaluation of Tillery's abilities. You see, Jack weighs about 172 pounds, soaking wet. And he doesn't play halfback. He's a guard. This means that he is giving away be tween sixty and eighty pounds to his opponents. But those who know Tillery know that this weight differ ential means nil. For there is an inner fire burning in Tillery unlike anything we have ever seen in any athlete. He is capable of rising to unbelievable performances. It may sound corny, but those who have played against or with him can testify to the truth of these statements. He doesn't seem particularly strong. But his reflexes are like a cat's and he throws himself into every play with reckless abandon. Some may call it adrenalin. We call it Jack Tillery. Jack Horner, in yesterday's Durham. Herald, noted that Tillery came to Carolina without the benefit of a grant-in-aid. He was considered too small to take a chance on. However, the late Coach Tatum remedied that immediately after the first freshman game. Off the field, Tillery is still a person apart. He is ex ceptionally restless, wound up like the proverbial spring. Football serves as a perfect outlet. His intelligence ofttimes borders on the startling. It is not the scholar's brand of aptitude; but Jack is one of the few people we've ever met capable of making statements out of the clear sky which will make you think for days. His sense of humor can be hilarious. And yet, for all this, he is basically an easy-going country boy who likes nothing better than to take the afternoon off and go fishing. Sometimes, this writer's personal friendship for cer tain boys on the squad causes us to remain silent when we should probably speak up. We're glad that Jack Horner saw the same qualities and potential in Tillery that we first noticed two years ago watching him play frosh ball. And furthermore, we admire Coach Jim Hickey for his willingness to go along with Jack, size or not. It just goes to prove that hustle and desire still con quer all on the gridiron. While we're ori this kick, we might as well throw in our two cents on a boy we consider to be the most under-publicized, under-rated player on the squad John Stunda, the senior tackle from Monessen, Penn sylvania. Under-rated, that is, by nearly everyone except his teammates, coaches and the ACC's other tackles. With the reams of material written about less capable line men throughout the conference, it seems almost ludi crous that the only mention of Stunda to date has been a blurb to the effect that he is the only Carolina starter of Slovak descent. Someone seems to have forgotten that John was a regular last year, and was generally ranked as the best tackle on the squad. Frankly, the only tackles from the ACC whom we deemed superior to Stunda were Olsen and Cordileone of Clemson. Ed Pitts, of South Carolina, suffered through an afternoon cf consistent battering opposite Stunda. But the misinformed scribes named Pitts to the All-Conference team. Just goes to prove the undeserved fruits which can be garnered from well directed publicity. Stunda is a pretty quiet boy when it comes to dis cussing his own capabilities. But when he jumped. up to first team in the "big turnover" last year, he made it evident that nobody was going to move him out again. Other regulars regained their positions, but Moose Butler never was able to take Stunda's spot back. John loves football. He practices with what can only be called an easy-going intensity. He has worked hard to absorb the little things, the finer points of tackle play which make the difference between an average and really good college ballplayer. The Monessen boy was an end when he came here. His agility has enabled him to adapt with a minimum of problems. A little-known fact about him is that he was an All-State volleyball player in high school and received several scholarship offers for that sport. He also starred in basketball and baseball. ? 4 .!

Stengel, baseball's 70-year-old sage who has almost clinched his 10th pennant as manager of the Yankees, made up his mind to retire at the end of the cur rent campaign even before it started and still intends to do so, although he has not yet made the formal announcement. The grizzled Glendale, Calif., baseball wizard has spoken off handedly of his intentions to this writer during the past six weeks. Just a few weeks ago, I told Stengel I had learned he has decided to quit. Instead of denying it, Casey grunted and said, "Yeah, but it's my doing, not theirs."

LAST TIMES TODAY Each year there seems to be a multitude of confusion regard ing the distribution and use of student passes to the football games. Therefore, the Athletic De partment requests that students remember the following rules: 1. That student athletic pass cards are not transferable. 2. That a lost pass can not be replaced by the Athletic Office; therefore, any student who finds a lost pass should make every effort to get it back to the owner so that the owner can see the game. 3. Any person who has lost a pass should check at the YMCA and at the Athletic Office to see if it has been turned in. 4. That students will be ad mitted at Gate No. 5 only on the day of the game. New stu dents who are attending a game for the first time should be made aware that they obtain their reserved seating assign ment at Gate No.- 5 when they go to the stadium to see the game and that they will be re quired to show student identifi cation together with the athletic pass card in order to gain ad mission. Therefore the student ID card or temporary ID . card is necessary as part of the ad missions procedure. 5. That the student gates will be open at 12 noon. Students should come early: If most stu dents wait un$l a. half hour be fore the game. an4, then attempt to get in, man$fe them will be delaved in setting) to their spat In other wordsl 'fify is impossible to move 8500 smients through the gates m a hfif hour's time The Daily Tar Heel would also like new students to be aware that choice seats are dis tributed on a first-come, first i mi . served Dasis. ine earner you arrive, ine oeuer your seat will be. - WE WONT ALLOW YOU V vvmtmmrmi i to cheat yourself!

"T--- i-- mmi 'M-. St' OPENS FRIDAY HOURS OF SHOWS: 1-3-5-7-9 "That first game can kill jyou." The speaker was Tar Heel 1 ootball coach Jim Hickey. The place was the Pines Restaurant where the weekly press luncheon is held before Carolina's upcoming foot ball games. Hickey was referring to the rash of upsets that characterized the first football weekend of the 1960 col lege season. Teams like Southern California, Texas, Pittsburgh, Texas Christian and many other pre-season picks to find paydirt chalked up a loss last weekend. It was easy to see that the Carolina coach was saying, in essence, "I hope it doesn't happen to us." Hickey and assistant Joe Mark, who scouted the State-V.P.I. game last Saturdayy-had nothing but praise for the Wolfpack in its 29-14: victory. Mark was "very impressed." "They didn't make those first game mistakes that teams -Usually do. They played real good, heads-up football fpr.an early season game," he said. lZ State's defensive game was strong in Mark's opin ion. "Their (V.P.I.'s) touchdowns were short 25 and 40 some-odd yards and they f only had one other long drive. The State defense appeared bad at times, but like an elastic band, it stretche but didn't break." Mark concluded that this --edition of the Wolfpack is a "much improved footballfam over last year." Hickey began by voicing -IhCsI-"chief concern," that being the playing condition of; .ends Jim Rice and Mike Greenday. He indicated that itis, doubtful either would see much duty Saturday. , , VI The name of Jack Tillery, '.atpresent the No. 2 guard behind Frank Riggs, enlivenVitjHickey's usually dole ful expression. He happily declared that Tillery is giv ing the first string a run for its money, and that's quite a feat for a man whose statistics , read "5-10 and 176 lbs." in a list of linemen averaging more than 200. This "little" fellow, a football sophomore, was called by the late Jim Tatum potenfidlry the finest guard he'd seen since All-America BobYr Ward of Tatum's 1953 Maryland eleven. So don't bez surprised if you see a well-proportioned "midget" playing the big man's game quite well this fall. & Invariably, any discussiortFIf. C. State turns into a debate on the many talents bfjqtiarterback Roman Ga briel. One reporter told Hickeythat V.P.I, coach Frank Mosely was giving Gabriel itJ&bshort passes, keeping ins ueienaers oemna me receifrs. xae asKea xne iar Heel coach if he'd do the samqhing. Hickey answered, "That depends on what you mean bv short." "Oh. 12-13 vards." "Well, that sure as hell ainshort to us." Asked if the Wilmington natftre is, as many publica tions state, the best passer in college football, Hickey replied, "If they say so, I surely don't doubt it." "He throws it hard neverv'hangs' it," he added. "We've got to contain him better than V.P.I, did. If I had been the Tech "coach I wouldn't have been satisfied with my pass defense. (Gabriel completed 13 of 20, and had three dropped.) ' In conclusion, Hickey said tjhe, main overall concern now was how good a physical "condition the Tar Heels would be in. to play the game. J"In that respect, State has the advantage," he said. ; A closing note: Look for the name of Carl Yastrzemski (don't pro nounce the "z") on the Boston Red Sox roster next sea son. After batting .377 in the Carolina League in 1959, this strapping youngster finished the 1960 season with Minneapolis of the American Association with a .339 mark, second from the top, anS won Rookie of the Year honors. , -2L . .

The average fan will sit in the stands and between drinks center his attention on the of fensive backs. From this view point they judge whether a team is good or bad. If a back makes a long run for a touch down, he is great and has done this thing all by himself, ac cording to the sideline quarter backs, i What they fail to see is what goes on in the line. This has beon said hundreds of times and it is still true. A good line is the key to the success of any team. A team with a great line and a fair backfield will win more games than a team with a sensational backfield and a poor forward wall. Duke has shown that consistently over the years. So, if you wish to enjoy a game to its fullest, let us make a few suggestions. If your favorite team is on defense it might be well to watch the interior of the line encompassing the tackles, the middle guard and the lineback ers. If the opposition is running the ball the lines will charge out low and hard. The rotation and movements of the defensive linebackers will usually take you to the play. This is fascinat ing to watch, especially if there are good BU's (linebackers). If your favorite team is on offense, a glance once in a while toward the forward wall will be rewarding. Many times the movements of the guards will "take" you right to the center of action of the particular play. The guards often "pull" (out of their regular spots) and will "trap" a tackle or a linebacker. This job, well done, many times will spring a halfback or a full back for a long run. What about passing, you say? Generally, a team throwing a pass will have its line charge straight out and make hard initial contact with the oppos ing line. Then they will drop back slightly to make sure they do not get by to throw the passer for a loss. Usually they will form a "pocket," a U shaped lineup from which the quarterback will be able to throw. The defensive aspect of pass ing has many phases. First, the best pass defense is a line that puts heavy pressure on the passer and makes him throw hurriedly, or tackles him be fore he gets a chance to flip it. Secondly, if the rushers do not put enough pressure on the passer and he gets his throw off, the BUs must be alert. Gen erally, a passing team will not go for the long one unless they are very desperate.. They will throw to the flats, or have a criss-cross or button hook pat tern somewhere . , d o w n the middle. The backers up must cover this shallow' territory. It is impossible for the deep backs to do this. This ob? well done, earns many centers their All- America status. - The third phase is up to the deep backs. It is a cardinal sin for any back to , let a receiver get behind him.- Good encs never let this happen.. So, when a pass play de velops, watch the line to see how they charge, then move your eyes back a -little to the linebackers and finally to the deep backs if the pass is thrown that far. . . Football today is very com plex and the guide we have given you is not complete. But, it should help in understanding what the boys are ' doing on the field. - ' ' Major League Standing. s By United Press International AMERICAN LEAGUE NATIONAL LEAGUE New York Baltimore Chicago Washington Cleveland Detroit Boston Kansas City W L 88 57 84 62 83 62 72 74 72 73 67 79 63 82 52 32 Pet.
