A large crowd saw Roxboro take full advantage of its size here Friday, throwing it at the right spots. A raft of Chapel HUl in juries also helped—but it still wasn’t easy. Paced by a big, mobile line and two bulldozing backs—Charles Hed gepeth and Buddy Cozart—the Rock ets crashed over for a touchdown the first time they got the ball in the fir.st quarter, yielded a Chapel Hill score on an ill-advised flat pass deep in their own territory, and then put the clincher over in the third quarter with another sus tained drive. Had the play been confined to the second quarter, it wouid have been no contest—Chapel Hill completely dominated action. The 'Cats just missed a fine opportunity to score in that period after deadlocking the game at 6-6. Cliapel Hill took the opening kick off and promptly quick kicked.. Roxboro, with Cozart and Hedgpeth banging through the line, moved to the game’s first score in 10 plays—with a pass-and-lateral play from Quarterback Bob Glasgow to End Mick Slaughter to Cozart cov ering 28 vital yards. Halfback Elmer Black climaxed the march with a 10-yard sprint around end. An at tempted run for the extra point failed. It appeared, then, as if Roxboro was going to run the Wildcats off the field. Chapel Hill fumbled the ensuing kickoff, and the Rockets were operating from the local 20. But a strong goal-line stand within the five yard line stalled the vis itors and appeared, at that time, to turn the tide of battle. Flat Pass Falls Flat Kicked deep into their own ter ritory, Roxboro tried a flat pass. Moving quickly in front of two Rockets, Halfback Dave Henry in tercepted and skipped down the sidelines for Chapel Hill’s score. Later, the Wildcats moved pow- erfully, with Charlie Hubbard doing a lot of work, to the Roxboro six yard line only to have the halftime step in. This drive had been set up when Larry Crabtree recovered a blocked punt. Cozart and Hedgepeth again col laborated soon after the second half kickoff on another drive that payed off in victory. A 15-yard-penalty boosted the march, and Cozart scored the big touclidown by mov ing five yards off tackle. Hedgepeth smashed over tackle for the 13th point. Roxboro hbld after that and the game ended with Chapel Hill Quar terback Subir Roy, injured earlier, passing desperately. Roxboro outgained Chapel Hill on the ground, 192-131, but trailed in passing yardage, 31-10. Two Ends Injured Chapel Hill's throwing game ivas considerably hampered when Ends Bob Larsh and Horton Upchurch v\ere hurt in the first part of the game. And poor protection for the passer didn’t help, either. Bill Whitney, starting fullback, also sat out most of the game witli an injury, and Roy was maimed with a neck hurt in the second quarler. For Library The Chapel Hill Board of Fldu- cation, meeting last week, accepted a $355 gift from the Carrboro Cit izens’ Committee, employed an au ditor for the unit’s books, and dis patched a member to the town man ager to see if action can be taken to put the Estes Hills Elementary school within the town city limits. Calvin Burch, chairman of the Carrboro committee, presented the hoard with the money gift and the board voted to use the money for library facilities after July, 1959, when the Carrboro Elementary school will benefit. , W. M. Russ and Company w’as awarded the job of auditing the books, for $600. Grey Culbreth was named to contact town officials to see about action necessary for get ting the Estes school put within the tow'n confines. In other action, the board -voted to allow' the Presbyterian Church to use the Franklin St. School for 15 Sunday School classes; voted to visit the Northside Elementary school; elected Katherine King as second grade teacher at Estes Hills and Judith Adams Walker as social studies teacher at the high school; elected Carol A.;Deaton as treasurer of the schools and as secretary to the superintendent; voted to pay an extra bus driver at Estes Hills school from contingency funds. At the conclusion of the meeting, Henry Brandis was voted the op portunity of checking into the -situa tion of permitting citizens of the Carrboro Attendance area to offer candidates and to be eligible to vote in the school board election next May. Outer Mongolia, -still a renjote land even in this day of moriern communication and transportation, remains basically a land of camels, nomads and yaks. But, according to Prof. Robert A. Rupen of the University, who re turned last week from a month’s stay behind the Iron Curtain, it fs also a land of beautiful mountains, modern buildings, and a blossom ing educational system. Prof. Rupen returned to his posi tion as associate professor of poli tical science at the University Wed nesday. He left Aug. 26 on a trip made possible by grants from a committee sponsored by a private research foundation which encour ages scholarly endeavor in the field of Soviet studies. Compiling Book Prof. Rupen also took notes to in corporate into a book he is writing about the 20th century history of Outer Mongolia. He said the book is almost completed but that “I’ll liove to go back and change a few things after this trip.” The university professor first vis ited Moscow, w'here he noticed that “everything is better” than when he visited the Russian capital tw'o years ago on a trip to the Soviet Union. “There are more things in the stores and the quality of things so much better,’’ he said. From Mosco-i^', where he spent- a few days, he travelled to Ulan Bator, capital of Outer Mongolia, via the Trans-Siberian RaUw'ay. It took the train, which Rupen de scribed as “modern,” eight days to make the 3,500 mile journey. Mainly because of the time con sumed on the long trip, Rupen said. BACK FROM OUTER MONGOLIA—Prof. Robert A. Rupen is shown above modelling some of the things he brought back from his month's trip to Outer Mongolia. (Daily Tar Heel Photo by Buddy Spoon) his stay behind the Iron Curtain was extended. The trip had been scheduled for three weeks, and was extended for four. The absence of one particular per sonage caught Rupen’s, notice in Mongolia. He said that at no time during his visit did he see Russia’s ambassador to the country, former Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov. “People I talked to there said he was not in Mongolia at that time.” he said. Films and pictures from the country have shown Molo tov, deposed by Premier Nikita Khrushchev, viewing various func tions in the country. City of Paradox Ulan Bator appeared a-s a city of paradox. On one hand, Rupen said, IS the University of Ulan Bator, with a student population of 2,000, and several modern buildings. At the same time, he said, there are numerous wooden framed tents, or “yurts,” homes of the nomadic na tives. In the main, he said, the country''s 1.000,000 citizens move' around the country with their abundant live- si nek—24,000,000 in all. Livestock is tile principal industry of the coun- tiy, but there are also coal mines and a little oil. “independent’’ in government, Gutor Mongolia still hews the line on iiuernational affairs with the So viet Union, Rupen said. ■ Peo|)le there say that relations V, ith both Russia and China are ‘friendly and grand,’ ” Rupen said. “But the Mongols are worried, be ing sandwiched between the two huge countries.” Outer Mongolia came under Russian domination in 1921 after a revolution when the Communists were expanding their power. Anti-Reds from Russia fled into the country and the Comrnu-' nists followed them in, Rupen said. While he was free to travel to many parts of the country “some parts of which were mountainous and beautiful,” he said, he had “company.’’ One man followed him every where he went, he said, and other people gave him the impression of “keeping their eyes on me,” he said.
