With pawns. Mr. Davidson moves his conversational pawns

that usually follows stimulation.
“I’m not important,” he said
with some firmness. “I don't
believe in the personality cult.”
Mr Davidson has a personality,
but does not consider it import
ant, either in himself or in any
body else. “What is important is
the man as a man under God.
My importance is as a parish
priest before God.” A man who
brushes his and everybody else’s
ego aside that fast is clearly not
a lightweight thinker. Mr. David
son is a heavyweight thinker, but
with a light touch.
"You can’t give God just an
hour a week,” he said. “You
can’t just look up on Sunday
morning and say, ‘Oh, well, you
still there? We’ve had an awful
ly busy week down here’—if you
think of Him as living ‘up there,’
instead of down here, and after
going to see the Planetarium I’m
not so sure about all that up
there.”
Looking Mr. Davidson in the
eye is like looking at toe sky
through two holes in his head.
His eyes home in on yours and
fix without the slightest twitch.
The force in him is suggested by
his gestures. When he taps the
table to emphasize a point he
may tap it very lightly or he
may wham the edge of his hand
to a karate blow. He smacks
• fist into a palm, or suddenly
flings out an arm as if pointing
to a passing eagle. But he is
not a fire and brimstone man.
He is very much aware of the
value of humor.
"People have been asking me
whether I have any trouble driv
ing on the right hand side of toe
road over here. I don’t have
any trouble. There’s no alterna
tive. The only bad moments
are when a car suddenly appears
on your side of the road over
taking somebody. That gives
both my wife and me a little
jolt. You wonder for just a
moment if it’s you who has made
the mistake. But otherwise it’s

merce.”
Charter members of the Chap
el Hill-Carrboro Chamber, which
was chartered in that name
earlier this fall, had hoped that
the Carrboro Chamber would
agree to merge. Almost 20 Carr
boro citizens were already
charter members of toe new

and businesses who joined dur
ing the charter membership
campaign this month.

paign is planned for early next

Tar Heels
Left Them
Cheering
By JAMES SHUMAKER
Like they say in vaudeville,
always leave ’em laughing.
North Carolina’s Tar Heels did
just that in Kenan Stadium Sat
urday, and more.
Winding up the home season
before nearly 30,000, the Tar
Heels left the homefolk cheering
wildly and flushed with a heady
27-16 victory over Miami.
The woolly finish saw every
thing going up into toe air but
the stadium seats. On the last
play even four referees’ penalty
flags went flying, one of which
was intercepted by a Carolina
player.
A more fitting end could hard
ly have been ordered. This was
a space-age football game if
there ever was one.
The football seemed to be
hanging in toe air all afternoon,
along with a helmet (Miami
quarterback George Mira’s) and
a stray shoe (UNC halfback Kqn
Willard's).
Going along with the aerial
metif, the Carolina cheerleaders
came onto :the field m a tiny
replica of a Model-T Ford with
a “Fly Na\ty" sticker plastered
on the side.
And at halftime, the Carolina
Band did its part by forming a
rocket ship and playing “Stair
way to the Stars” and “Around
the WOrld in Eighty . Days.”
Then came a sleek red and
white jet barreling out of the
heavens and roaring over the
sun-washed stadium.
Carolina’s Air Force ROTC
drill team, along with the Navy
ROTC unit, clicked,’ through a
Queen Anne’s drill, and there
was even a one-star Air Force
general in the stands.

4 We Were Just Determined
To Win,’ Says Jim Hickey
By W. H. SCARBOROUGH
Few men ride out a hurricane
without looking didieveled. Tar
Heel Coach Jim Hickey did
without a hair out of place or a
hatch unbattened.
If all you had to judge the
Miami fracas from was the
Hickey deportment, it had been
a tempest in a teapot. He smiled
throughout a post-game press
grilling and lavished praise until
the room was awash with it. Be
tween questions he savored the
victory all to himself. Uncommon
behavior for a coach with the
least emotional yardage in the
Atlantic Coast Conference.
He had no sooner hit his chair
than toe kind words began to
flow.
“Edge and Lacey played a
great game. And it’s good to have
Jackson out there ain’t it? Wil
lard, Kesler, Tutoill, Esposito,
Hammett. They were control
ling their side of the line the
second half.
“That Mira’s something isn’t
he?”
“But Edge outpassed Mira,
didn’t he?” a sportswriter inter
jected.
“Yes,” Coach Hickey replied
quietly. “Maybe sometime some
body will realize Edge is a great
player.”
Would Coach Hickey compare
the two quarterbacks? No, he
never compares players. A good
player has bad day?, anybody
has good days. Comparison is
pointless as far as Jim Hickey is
concerned—and always unfair.
As far as he was concerned
everybody had had a good day,
including the Hurricanes’ dread
George Mira.
“He gives you a fit. I think
he’s a great quarterback. I know
he’s the cne we thought we
couldn’t get to. I figure if you
the totals reported yesterday
were somewhat below expecta
tions. He urged that all contri
butions received by area cap
tains be submitted without delay.
As additional pledges are re
eeived, Bags symbolizing the
4-C’s theme of the campaign will
be raised at the Columbia and
Frankin Street intersection.
Each flag represents 20 per cent
of the goal. The message on the
fifth flag is a closely guarded
secret and will not be revealed
until 100 per cent of the quota
has been reached.
hold him on standard defense
without trying to rush him, you're
doing well, because nobody's
been able to catch him. Maybe
it’s better not to rush him. He
starts running around hack there,
and if he finds a hole he hurts
you more than if you’d left him
alone.”
What had won for the Tar
Heels?
Hard playing and a spark that
came from somewhere after the
Tar Heels had suffered through
a dispirited first quarter an
chored in the Hurricanes' path.
Jim Hickey didn’t know where.

touchdown. It was a simple mix
up and it cost a touchdown, but
it could have done toe job.
“The satisfying thing is being

ventured.

Edge Bests Mira
In Aerial Battle
By BILLY CARMICHAEL 111
Carolina mooned over Miami yesterday afternoon
before coming from behind twice to defeat the Hur
ricanes, 27-16, in the presence of 28,000 at Kenan
Stadium.
It was a fun game with plenty of offensive razzma
tazz, alternately provided by Tar Heel quarterbacks
Junior Edge and Gary Black on one hand and a dandy
dervish named George Mira on the other. Between
them, the two teams gained
over 800 yards.
In the end the difference was
probably Carolina halfback Ken
Willard who carried 25 times
for 112 yards, the most impor
tant yardage of which he amas
sed on the Tar Heels' clock
killing touchdown drive late in
the fourth quarter.
At this point, Willard was the
most devastating thing to hit
Miami since toe American Leg
ion Convention in 1957.
The victory was an important
milestone for Carolina. The Tar
Heels have now won seven
games in a season for she first
time since 1949. Next week they
can win at least a half siiare of
their first Atlantic Coast Con

Gus’ Quotes
.Were Only
For Florida
By J. A. C. DUNN
Miami Coach Andy Gustafson
walked briskly oif Kenan field
leaving behind him the shards
and tatters of 16 Useless points.
Gustafson looks like a distin
guished banker, or perhaps a
captain of industry. He is large
and grey-headed, keen of eye,
firm of mouth, tanned. By his
gait and posture you would never
have known that his Hurricane
team had just been kissed by
something a little less energizing
than the sun.
“Tough day at Black Rock,”
he said heartily to someone at
the Miami dressing room door.
"Tough day.”
He didn't make it sound very
tough, but he solicitously held toe
door open, ushering spent Hur
ricanes into the silent dressing
room with a pat on the back for
each. George Mira got a hand
shake.
Presently he emerged into the
courtyard with a freshly-filled
pipe in his mouth and was
promptly double-teamed by a
large reporter from (he Miami
Herald and an even larger re
porter from the Miami Times.
They backed the coach into a
corner and started their own
Hide press conference. About
twelve other reporters stood on
tiptoe behind them craning necks
and cocking ears. Gustafson's
comments were issued fast and
lew, through the pipe and to
ward toe ground. You might say
that his personal news for North
Carolina sports fans were care
fully managed.
Fragments of comment got
past the Miami men: “. . .
They played it close, but enough
to keep us off balance ... I
was scared to death . . . He’s
got a team with poise, I’ll say
that for him . . . Looked like
they might have been a little
tired, but they fooled us on that
. . . tried to change our defense
. . . Told our linebacker . . .
fire to toe long end . . . but . . .
