Page 4 Tar Heels Expect A Bombing Attach “We expect to see more bombs than World War II,” said Coach Jim Hickey in referring to the University of Miami passing at tack which will be on display here Saturday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. Hickey was describing George Mira, the tricky Hurricane quar terback, as a fejlow who believes in rapid fire wfth tue touchdown pass. He noted that Mira’s career has produced 22 scoring aerials. “We’ve been quite fortunate on that count this season,” said ’ the North Carolina coach. “We’ve had only one touchdown pass thrown on us—and actually that was the result of a lateral.” In the Michigan State game, Quarterback Steve Juday hit a receiver on the five. As he was tackled, he lateraled off and the teammate wait in to score. In such instances, the pass is re corded as a scoring one. Carolina’s pass defense has yielded only 54.5 yards per game. One of Hie reasons has been a good rush by UNC’s for ward wall. Another has been ex pert attention by the secondary Lincoln Wins sth Eastern AAA Title Lincoln High won the Eastern District Three AAA champion ship for the fifth straight year here Saturday night by defeating Hayes High of WUliamston 25-12. The game was the first this season in which Lincoln was. scored on, but Lincoln Coach William Peerman considered the breaking of Lincoln’s unscored on record to be a in dis guise. “It made the boys realise they were human,” he said. “It got rid of the tension.” Lincoln plays Anderson High for the State championship in Winston-Salem Dec. 16 at 7:30 p.m. The Tigers went ahead 12-0 in the first period on a pair of touchdown passes from quarter back Fred Baldwin to halfback Paul Farrington. The first pass went for 20 yards and the other for 33. Hayes tied the score with a touchdown in the second atnd third quarters. Rufus Whittaker ran one-yard and five yards for the TD’s.

WUNC Radio will rebroadcast the lecture at a later time, yet underermined. to stop the deep receivers. “Clemson was the first club to really hurt us passing,” sur mised Hickey, in looking back to last Saturday's loss. “They got receivers in position and their passers did a good job. We hope we can correct our errors as we prepare for Miami. Ii we don’t, we’re in trouble.” The Tar Heeis are not in the best «f physical shape for the Floridians, but only Center Glenn Ogburn will be out of action. A knee injury has benched the Leaksville junior for the season. “We’ll miss Glenn.” said Hic key. “He has done an excellent job for us. He was fast, a good blocker and a steady all-round performer. Our pivot is now lack ing depth, but we feel Chris Han burger, Ed Stringer and Lee Baggett will do us a good job there.” Carolina enters (he Miami game with a 6-2 record. Miami, which get off to a slow start, now appears to be in high gear. The Hurricane, 3-3, has turned in victories over Purdue of the Big Ten and Tulane and Kentuc ky of the Southeastern Confer ence. Fullback Thomas Bell went three yards to cap a 66-yard drive and put Lincoln ahead again in the fourth quarter. The Tigers wrapped up the victory with a 58-yard run by halfback John Jones with an intercepted pass in toe last minute of play. Bell added the extra point. Lincoln in showing off a pow erful offense picked up 349 yards on the ground and added another 137 in passing. The victory gives Lincoln a 94) record on the season and the loss was Hayes' second in nine games. Score by quarters: Hayes 0 6 6 0-12 Lincoln 12 0 0 13-25 Hayes Line.

Counting this week only six events remain on the fall sports schedule. The Chapel Hill Weekly, issued every Sunday and Wed nesday. and is entered as sec ond-class matter February 28, 1923, at the post office at Chap el Hill, North Carolina, publish ed by the Chapel Hill Publish ing Company, Inc., is under the act of March S, 1879. I Bob Quincy The North Carolina Tar Heels might try their luck at Las Vegas effter the season ends. They have played three 11-7 games in two years. The seven-eleven combination is lucky only if one is on the right side of the dice. Carolina trimmed Virginia by that margin their two last outings. Last Saturday, Clemson held the hot hand. ♦ ♦ * THE BULL: Ken Willard paced Carolina in rushing last season as a fullback with 466 yards. When he was shifted to halfback this season, there was speculation if the move had been a wise one. The answer, going by figures, is a definite yes! Last week the Richmond, Va., 220-pounder ground out 53 yards against Clemson. It brought his total for eight games to 471 yards—five more than he gained in 10 contests last year. - , * * * WHATTA BURGER!: Chris Hanburger, the rugged UNC center, had another great defensive day against Clemson. Weekend after weekend, Hanburger, from Hampton, Va., plays an All-America brand of ball. He has either led the defensive or shared the tackling lead with a teammate every game this year. PASS DEFENSE: North Carolina’s pass defense, which was called the finest in 24 years of major college football prior to the Clemson encounter, will still rank with the nation’s best. The Tar Heels gave up 107 yards on a mere four completions to the Tigers. * * * WATCH MIRA: George Mira, who leads the Mi ami Hyrricane here on Saturday, has completed 22 touchdown passes in his three-.Vear career. Against Georgia this season, he made good 25 passes in a losing cause. Mira is the most accurate passer we’ll face all year,” Scout Emmett Cheek told the squadman in his most recent report. “He likes to scramble and he is ex tremely cool. We must pressure him if we expect to win.” * * * RUBBER MATCH: North Carolina and Miami have played six times, with each school holding three wins. This is the decider coming up. The two schools aren’t scheduled in the niear future. Carolina won the first game during the Justice Era, then took two more in the early 1950’5. Miami turned in wins in 1959, 1960 and 1961. They didn’t play last season. * * * PASSING ACES: Although Mira for the past three years has been considered one of the modern greats as a quarterback, his percentage of completions this sea son has to take a back seat to Carolina’s clever twosome of Gary Black and Junior Edge. Mira has made good 93 throws of 176 tries for a rating of .528. The efforts of UNC's twin package of Black-Edge have pitched for 93 completions in 174 throws—earning a percentage banner of .535. * * * ATTENDANCE: The Tar Heels have played to an average of 36,000 for each home game this season. Larg est Kenan Stadium turnout was 45,500 for the N. C. State skirmish. On the road, the Michigan State game drew 61,000. Miami draws sizable throngs in its home, the Or ange Bowl. In four games this season, the Hurricane played to 195,300 in Miami. That’s an average of some 48,000 per home showing. pf TWIN BEDS MATTRESSES BOX SPRINGS ONLY *0 A WEEK Compare with Values at up to Twice the Prke!

Main St, Carrboro Phone 942-4555 THE CHAPEL HILL WEEKLY ' UNC Task: Stopping Mira Watch Out For A Didapper By JAMES SHUMAKER If all the passes Miami quarter back George Mira has com pleted this season were laid and to end, they would stretch from the Carolina Inn to the Ranch House. Or, as the freeloaders say. all the way from beef stew to T-bone. This coming Saturday, Caro lina will be faced with the deli cate problem of preventing Mira's missiles from stretching from one end of Kenan Stadium to the other. It won’t be a snap. In six games this year, Mira has hit on 93 of 176 passes for 1.076 yards. His longest comple tion was for 40 yards and he has averaged about 8.5 yards per completion. There have been countless other passes rirfit on the button that receivers couldn't hang onto. In one game, against Geor gia, Mira completed 25 of 44 for 350 yards, which will give you some idea. Sportswriters taking beef stew with Carolina’s coaches yester day were told that Mira was everything from a didapper (identified by chief scout Em mett Cheek as a variety of hum mingbird) to a whirling dervish (“One time,” Coach Jim Hick ey said, “he was hemmed in and they were all over him. He jumped up and whirled around about three times and got the pass off. He was called for inten tional grounding, but they didn’t catch him back there.”). Coach Cheek conjured up the didapper imagery in describing Mira’s ability as a scrambler. “He’s like a hummingbird. He’ll give it to you and then take it away. He’s the best scrambler I’ve ever seen, better then Ros si (State College’s pride and joy). He’s real dangerous.” Surprisingly enough, this has not been an especially good year for Mira or Miami. In the first game of the season, Miami was shut out by Florida State, 24-0. “It wasn't that bad,” Cheek said. “Miami moved the ball pretty good.” The Purdue-Miami game devel oped into a defensive battle that Miami finally won on a field goal. The Hurricane managed a 10-0 win over weak-sister Tulane and then came another defen sive struggle against LSU which Miami dropped, 3-0. In the aerial battle against Georgia, in which Mira passed for 350 yards, Larry Rakestraw did even better and Miami went down, 31-14. Then the Hurricanes came from behind to whip Ken- when Requested COLONIAL RUG GLEANERS Phone 942-2960 lucky, 20-14. Miami had an open date last week. ‘They’ve had some key injur ies,” Cheek said. Russell Smith, a soph halfback who had been counted on heavily, was hurt in the Purdue game and hadn’t played since. He will be ready to go against Carolina. There is another sophomore halfback, with an unspellable name, who also can go. Nick Spinelli is Mira’s favor ite target. Besides injuries, Miami has been plagued by fumbles deep in its own territory and dropped passes. Mira apparently gets a hop on his high hard one that makes it tricky to field. “He’s an excellent passer,” Cheek said, “but he throws the ball real hard. He looks like a pitcher winding up and throw ing to the catcher." Although the Hurricane of fense failed to score a touch I ill I f 'W , \ of Jantzen-matched separates.

The line is big, with guards even bulkier than Clemson’s. “Their defensive line is bigger all the way across than any we’ve run up against,” said Coach Hickey. “They’re real hard to run against. Only Ken tucky had any success moving the ball against them on the ground.” Hickey looks for a wide-open game Saturday. “Miami will be wide-open from the start, and we expect to throw a few. We do that pretty good, too." Despite the frustrating loss to Clemson last Saturday, the Tar Heels are expected to be in ex cellent spirits for the game. ‘Til be perfectly honest with you,” Hickey said. “None of us felt very good Saturday night and Sunday and I was a little concerned. ißut after Monday’s practice, I’m not worried any Wednesday, Nov. 13, 1963 more. These kids have given us a great effort all season. I don’t think last week’s disappointment is going to hurt their attitude toward the last two games a bit” Help toe underprivileged the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Community Chest. NOW AT Town & Campus
