| fill when this writer saw foot
hall game for the first time. Caro-
lima, with George Tandy, Memo
Coleman and Bill Folger in the
line up, defeated Wake Forest 7
to 0, and went on to defeat Vir-
einia that year by the same score
| for the first time in many, many
| years.
Since then this writer has seen
many conflicts between these
teams, but it was only yesterday
that for the first time he actually
witnessed the surprising spectacle
of Wake Forest scoring against
Carolina.
1t is no idle talk to say that
Coach Weaver has developed a
powerful team dt the Baptist In
stitution this year; one which must
certainly be ranked with the ma
jor elevens of the state. They will
Oc heard from. and in a big way.
But it was the great record of
the Tar Heels of 1885 that
fought ont q crowd of 1900 to
the American Legion stadium in
Charlotte. Having been ranked
eighth in the entire nation last
year, despite the Duke upset, Car
Dina alumni from coast to noun
tains converged on Charlotte to
get line on the prospects for
1886. All reports from Chapel Hill
seemed to indicate a vastly super
ior team to the 1885 aggregation.
1t would be interesting to know
how many thousand cases of jit-
ters developed in that huge stad-
ium upon the completion of that
5S.yard touch down run by Dea
con Dallas Morris. Last year at
Chapel Hill the Deacons never
advanced the ball beyond their
own 30-yard line, but here they
had scored a touch down against
Carolina for the first time since
1927, and within the first 7 min
utes of play. 1t was unbelievable.
But Carolina was using a. new
system under new coach. 1t was
their first game under the new
arrangement, and while they look
ed far from impressive during
that agonizing first quarter, the"
finally began to click with 1885
power and precision near the end
of the second quarter. Burnette
received a punt on his own ID and
made a beautiful return to the
Carolina 30. Then on successive
PLAYS Carolina rolled IN i ""1S"-
cutive first downs, Dit and Bur-
nette advancing the ball to the
Wake Forest 9 lust as the half
came to the end. and adding to
the woes of the Carolina support.
erS.
In the third quarter Carolina
made two long advances from
their own territory deep into
Wake Forest ground, only to loose
the ball on downs and see it sent
back into the shadow Of their own
goal post by the magnificent
punting of Deacon Daniel.
And then in the fourth quarter
the Heels really found them
selves. They decided to win a ball
game and they showed more pow
er and driving skill in the last nine
minutes of the game than the pow
er house of 1885 generated in a
whole hour. Starting on their own
3O-yard line they quickly drove to!
the Wake Forest 27. 1t was then
that Captain Buck, the great pass
receiver of 1885 was sent into the
game. The ball was snapped to
Little. Buck started for the goal
line. Little faded back, lodging
and side stepping a drove of Dea-
cons, much after the. manner OF
the clever Bobbie Dodd. Another
drove of Deacons surrounded
Buck. Little short a pass through
the air that travelled 81 yards. 80
MANY Deacons were around BUCK
that he could. not easily be seen,
but in some way his hands Shot
slivward and he pulled it down
ard stepped" across" the line. Bur
nett added the extra point from
placement and the score was tied;
But, the game was not won, and
onlu five minutes left to play.
Carolina kicked off. Wake Forest
runted to the Carolina 10 and Lit
tie brought it back to his own 80.
burnett went through the line for
l9ayards! JIM Hutchins went over
guard for IT more. Watson added
II, more and then came the pret-
tiest play of the game. Little, be-
hind the perfect blocking of Bur-
nett and Hutchins who. scattered
Deacon tacklers all over the field,
went around left end for touch
down. Again Burnett added the
extra point.
There were two minutes left to
play. Carolina kicked off and
Wake Forest punted on the third
down. Commencing a third drive
deep in their own territory the
Tar Heels again advanced to the
Wake Forest 20 where the game
ended. -
Despite their early miserable
showing Carolina is potentially
greater than the team of 1885: In
the back field Jackson is missing,
but in Little, Dashiel, Watson,
Burnett, Dit, Cernugle and
Hutchins, Carolina has a host of
ball carriers the equal of any to
be found anywhere. Al2 were out
standing and gained with ease and
consistency after the first quar-
ter. They are undoubtedly SUPER
ior to the backs of 1885. The line,
with Buck. Bershack, Trimpey,5
Bartos, Webb, Maronic and Avery
is as good, if not better than the
line of hast year. 81
