Washington, D. f'.--Be
cause practically every im
portant college football pick
in this column has been
wrong this season, here we
with bowl selections, all
Hr which will prove accurate
forecasts, of course. (The
writer piekt'd Ohio St ate over
Michigan. Oklahoma over
Nebraska and Alabama over
Auburn.)
Rose B'.'wl-Michigan will
defeat Stanford because we
are afraid to go against
Michigan again (an excellent
and scientific assessment).
Cotton Bowl"Toxas will
win this contest because the
Longhorns don't have to
play Notre Dame again, and
will be glad.
Sugar Bowl—Oklahoma will
win this one against Auburn
and Pat Sullivan, maybe.

Notes
BY JOHN KILGO
KQ SYNDICATE
Now that Alabama's Bear
has proved to the United States
of America that his team can
play with the bigs, and we can
confirm reports tliat the Rus
sians were scouting the Neb
raska - Oklahoma game, at
tention in these parts drift
towards North Carolina's Bill
Dooley.
Every day my telephone rings
and a Super Ram or a UNC’57
with season tickets in Section
22 asks in whispered tones:
“Wliat have you heard about
Dooley"?
Carolina faithful, which pop
ulate this state in great num
bers, are having their holiday
season tarnished with fears
that one William Dooley, of
Mobile, Ala., will take his
football show to an enemy
campus.
Why in God's world would
Bill Dooley be discontent?
Isn't he living in Chapel Hill,
one of the ten best places in
the entire nation to live, acc
ording to Time magazine?
Doesn't he realize that his en
tire offensive line returns and
his freshman team was un
beaten? What is this talk about
the man leaving? Is he crazy?
I do not have an information,
inside or outside, that Dooley
is leaving Carolina. But I can
report to you that he is living
with the rumors much better
than I.
ITl give you one man’s opin
ion about Bill Dooley, When he
came to Chapel Hill five years
ago, he said he would give UNC
an exceptional football team in
five years. Pe gave the Tar
Heels an exceptional team in
four years and in his fifth he
won UNC’s first aCC football

championship and a trip to the
Gator Bowl.
Next year looks just as
bright. Many niomber s of this
year's team return and the
freshman team was unbeaten.
Dooley has done tlie best foot
ball coaching job at Chapel
Hill of any man in my memory
which goes back as bar as Carl
Snavely.
Dooley’s team are c^ick,
touch against the run and hit
with quthority, Carolina fans
the ones who are sweating out
Dooley’s future, remember
much too well when thiid and
seven against the Tar Heel
defense was an automatic first
down. Big, fiat linemen could-
not stop the end sweep, the
reverse, the pass or much of
anything else that has ever
been drawn in a high school
play book.
Dooley turned all that around
and it was hell doing it. Have
you ever tried turning a hab
itual loser into a winner?
The season just past saw
Dooley and his football team
experience every emotion that
is humanly possible. They had
to live with the tragic death
of Billy Arnold, But somehow
they managed to keep things
together well enough to win
nine ^mes. That took guts,
my friend.
No number of football vic
tories or bowl games will
bring back Billy Arnold. His
death is as sad and important
today as it was when it hap
pen^. But the cold, hard
evidence is tliat Bill Dooley
understands this better than
anyone.
If he leaves for somewhere
else—and I hope he doesn’t--
the University can know well
that it lost a helluva man,
who had the guts to persevere
in a nightmarish situation that
would have defeated most
people.
