CURRY KIRKPATRICK CSS
1963 THE YEAR the Mets lost the pennant was also filled with
numerous other surprises. Like the CeKics winning and the Red
skins losing and Mickey Mantle hurting. Some events did come
and go as expected, though, and as usual the same people will get
the same honors this time as in times past. There are some
honors, however, which seldom are publicized, so today, in the final

Ponce de Leon HQ For The Tar Heels
Headquarters for the Carolina
football team, which will play in
the Gator Bowl classic at Jack
sonville on December 28, has been
established at the Hotel Ponce de
Leon in St. Augustine. The na
tion's oldest city is located just
33 miles south of Jacksonville.
"The Ponce," described as one
cf America's most beautiful ho
tels, is a unit of the Flagler Sys
tem, headed by William R. Ke
nan, Jr., long-time benefactor of
the University. Newly remodeled
Kenan Stadium at Ca-el Hill is
named for his parents.

was lavished on Hotel Ponce de
Leon by its builder, Florida pion
eer Henry M. Flagler. Begun in
18C5, the palatial structure was
designed in the style of the Span

courts, sparkling fountains and
graceful towers.
It was one cf the great dreams
cf Flagler, who was one of the
founders of the Standard Oil Com
pany. He built with poured con
crete, brick, terra cotta, and the

first large buildings in in this
count ry to make use of poured
concrete.

Fly-hoy Terry
Is Air Force
Triple Threat
By CURRY KIRKPATRICK
The last time Terry Issacson
(of the Air Force "Terry's")
appeared on national television
was, depending where you live,
on a CBS Sports Spectacular
called "Seven Days to Kick
off."' His passing was okay if
his Nielson and Trendex were
not.
The next time Issacson goes
before the country on TV, it
will be about seven minutes to
kickoff, and UNC is hoping the
s'tuaticn will be reversed. It
should be too, because (except
for the (Boston and Burfalo, N.
Y. are3s where the AFL East
ern Division playoff is of some
interest) the football nation
will be tuned on Saturday, Dec.
28 to Jacksonville, Fla. and the
Gator Bowl.
One of the main reasons for
this has to be Issacson, the gla
mour boy whose name has been
used for the past two weeks on
all of CBS' announcements of
the Gator attraction.
Trying to figure out what to
promote (UNC's record is good,
but then it plays in the ACC;
Bcb Lacey is great, but then
he's an end; and Junior Edge
is good, but then whoever heard
of Junior Edge?), the bowl
sponsors and the network men
finally decided on Issacson. His
credentials are impressive, and
they aren't all presented from
the football field.
Besides playing a sound 18
holes of golf, Issacson also has
been selected to the NCAA All-
America wrestling team twice.
And, in the fall, he plays foot-,
ball which is what concerns UNC
a little more.
The concern is mainly because
in 1963 Issacson was:
1. The third leading scorer in
the country, (80 points, four be
hind Memphis State's Dave Ca
sinelli and Princeton's Cosmo
Iacavazzi).
2. The fifth leading total fo
fense man in the country (1,747
yards).
3. The tenth leading rusher in
the country (801 yards).
4. The second leading service
man in the country.
Issacson (5-10, 175) got this
way with such things like rush
ing for 69 yards and passing for
160 more and the game's win
ning TD in the final two min
utes against Nebraska; taking
his team 91 yards in less than
two minutes for the winning TD
against Washington; and scor
ing four TD's in one game against
Colorado State.
The versatile Oak Park, 111.
native also did most of the
punting in his team's 7-3 (249
total pointr ) season. He kicked
41 times for an average of 39
yards. Further, his passing was
68 for 147 (.463 per cent) for 963
yards.
To win its first Bowl game in
historv, UNC must stop Issac
son. But there are also others
to stop, and the problem starts
in the backfield.
There, the leading runner,
after Issacscn, is a fullback
Larry Tollstam who may not
even start. Tollstam (5-11, 206)
has a 4.1 rushing average on
284 yards, but has been re
placed in the opening lineup by
Steve Amdor (5-10, 185).
Acrdor typifies the light but
speedy backfield which the Air
Force Academy usually turns
out. His average is also above
four yards (4.7), and the total
is 175 yards.
,At the halfbacks. Coach Ben
Martin starts Dick Czarnota,
JBrunch for VS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. The
Jacksonville alumni association
of the University -of North Caro
lina has . issued a special invita
tion to all students and faculty
members to a catered brunch at
the Gator Bowl Coliseum at 11:00
a.m. the morning of Dec. 28.
Student Body President Mike
Lawler yesterday urged all par
ties from North Carolina to take
advantage of the opportunity to
meet the alumni in Jacksonville.
"The association there is doing
a fine job to make all of us wel
come in Florida," Lawler said.

the leading - pass-catcher., in the.
backfield- -and . Paul Wargo.
Czarnota '(6-1, 205), besides hav
ing; caught 11 passes for 164
yards, . has . accumulated 267
yards running for a 4.5 aver
age. He is called the slotback
in the Air Force offense, and is
backed, up by John Lorber (6-0,
195), a 3.6-average man.
Wargo i 5-10, 187) moved into
a starting position this year as
a sophomore and is considered
the Falcons' fastest runner. He,
like Czarnota, has scored four
touchdowns, the most important
one coming on a 12-yard pass
from Issacson to win the Colo
rad game and. a bowl invita
tion. Wargo's relief help comes
from Ken Jaggers (5-9, 160),
another sophomore, and Dick
Ritchie (5-10, 185). Jaggers has
carried 22 times this year for
166 yards and a 7.5 average.
Up front, the Falcons are
very light, but very, very fast.
And their quickness hurts you
especially when Issacson lines
up as the "gun" in the shotgun
offense.
At center and, more impres
sively, linebacker is Joe Rod
well (6-3, 208), an Associated
Press third-team All-America.
He is the number one obstacle
in the Academy's 6-2-3 defensive
set-up.
At the guards are Wendell
Harkleroad (6-0, 195), on the
left, and Tom Gorges (6-0, 212)
on the right. Both are juniors,
Gorges being a converted tackle.
Harkleroad is considered the
best offensive- blocker on the
team.
Air Force's heaviest lineman,
Gil Achter (6-1, 218), is at left
tackle while the right tackle is
Jim Sears (6-3, 216). The latter
improved his defensive work
this year and moved into a
starting spot from his third
team place of last spring.
The ends are, or at least have
been, John Puster (6-3, 200) on
the right side and Ray Leonon
(6-0, 185) on the left. However,
Issacson's favorite pass target
all season has been Fritz Green
lee (6-3, 210).
Greenlee caught 15 passes for
323 yards and three touchdowns
in 1963. Halfback Czarnota was
the second-best receiver, and
another end who doesn't start,
soph Jim Greth (6-2, i96) the
third. Greth caught 11 for 154
yards.
Perhaps the most important
ingredient in the Birdmen's
success this year, after Issac
son, has been placekicker Bart
Holaday. He set an Air Fcrce
record this season with seven
"field goals, three of which pro
vided the victory 'margins over
Nebraska, Washington and the
big one, Colorado. Holoday also
kicked 23 of 25 extra' points.

UNO Goes Bowling
In Thai Florida Sun
By JOHN MONTAGUE
John Hammett said it as early as last September.
''We'll go 10-1 this year and one of those wins will
come in a bowl game."
Those who heard the senior end make this forecast
during late summer drills appreciated his optimism,
but shook their heads over the accuracy of such a pre-
prediction.
If you were cne of those
"Doubting Thomases" you can
still shake your head today.
You can say "I told you so,"
because the Tar Heels can't
possibly go 10-1 this season
they've already lost two games.
But you'll have a hard time
making yourself heard above
the din. Hammett is crowiog
and the Tar Heels are going
to a bowl game.
On December 28, Lindsay
Nelson will fling out a "hearty
good afternoon" to football fans
all across the nation as CBS-TV
joins with the University of
North Carolina and the United
States Air Force Academy in
bringing you the 19th Annual
Gator Bowl Classic from Jack
sonville, Fla.
If you are sitting in the 50.000
seat bowl, you will forget about
your end zone vantage point and
stand up and cheer as the Tar
Heels trot onto the field for
their pre-game warm-ups. If
you are lounging in front of a
TV set, you will sit up and take
a close look. There will be
some familiar faces.
There in living black and
white will be Junior Edge, who
could be the best quarterback
in UNC history. Junior is
slightly bald and very good,
especially when he's throwing
passes to Bob Lacey. Bob, a
.first -team All-America,. is. being ,
chased by the iMinnesota Vik
ings and the New York Jets.
All season long he has been
chased, usually by defensive
backs after grabbing a pass
from Edge.
This fall saw both Edge and
Lacey breaking records right
and left. Edge has thrown more
passes (357) and completed 1
more (193 man any oiner
player in Carolina history.
Lacey has caught more passes
(102) and has gained more
yards (1362) on passes than any
other player in ACC history.
And these are not abstract
accomplishments. The Edge-to-Lacey
pass is still the heart of
the Carolina offense.
"It's what we look to when

than the DTII sports staff
members.
Looking back, everyone con
cerned feels that the Horror
scope accomplished just what it
set out to do nothing. Some
people at the DTH feel, how
ever, that the weekly farce has
to be considered an unqualified
success since no one wrote in
any nasty letters about the
thing. As a matter of fact, no
cne said anything about it,
probably because no one ever
wasted his time reading it.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

we're in trouble," says ACC
Coach of the Year Jim Ilickey,
who this year brought his team
through the school's finest sea
son since 1948.
Though the label reads "Edge
to Lacey" the ingredients of
this wonderful remedy for Caro
lina's offensive stalls are many.
There is the hard blocking of
fullback Eddie Kesler and the
great protection thrown up by
the interior linemen fellows
like Cole Kortner (234) and Vic
Esposito (215), Jerry Cabe
(193) and Richy Zarro (188),
Chris Hanbuner (193) and Jim
Alderman (218).
And there is Ken Willard, div
ing up the middle on a fake run,
pulling the defenses into the
middle and off Lacey and off
Hammett, who is pretty good
substitute when Lacey can't get
into the open.
Sometimes Willard actually
carries the ball himself. This
happened 167 times this year
and he gained 643 yards and one
ACC rushing crown as a re
sult. And every yard he picked
up added to his value as a de
coy on the bread-and-butter
pass.
When one mentions the word
"decoy," it brings to mind not
only Wiliard, but also Ronnie
Jackson, the forgotten man on
the Tar Heel starting eleven.
Hickey likes to have his little
wingback streak down the neia
on ' most plays, taking at least
one safety with him. At least
three times this fall the safety
didn't make it and Jackson
got three TD grabs.
Still left unmentioned is the
second team and this could be
the deciding factor in the Gator
Bowl. With the likes of Gary
Black, Ron Tuthill, Frank Bow
man, Frank Gallagher, Joe
Robinson, Gene Sigmon, John
Hill and others waiting for re
serve duty, the Tar Heels rate
the edge over the Air Force in
the depth department.
Of course it may all boil down
to a kick meaning placement
man Max "42-Yard" Chapman
andor punter Bill Edwards.
Nothing could be finer than a
well-placed field goal by Chap
man, over the crossbar and
into the South Stands. Then
we'd have the game ball to
keep us company in the end
zone.
