CHAPEL HILL, Nov. 7-R-
More than $4,000 spectators will
gather in Kenan Stadium here
tomorrow to see North Carolina
and N. c. State meet for the
first time since 1943. Kickoff is
at 2 p. m.
The Tar Heels, winners by
|27-13 in their last contest be-
fore relations were broken off,
will be favored. State support
ers, however, believe that their
sturdy team, which ranks Sec
ond in the nation on overall
defense, have an excellent
chance Of springing an upset.
Both teams will be hampered
by injuries in the vital fullback
slot. Hosea Rodgers, spearhead
in Cardinals three successive
wins over William and Mary,
Florida and Tennessee, and
both George Allen and John
Huzvar, State power men, will
have to watch the game from the
sidelines.
Walt Pupa has taken over for
Rodgers, while "Footsie" Pal

fullback on the State team. Pal

the Wolves previously to last

|-(P-The University of South
Carolina Gamecocks squeezed out
a muddy 1910 victory over the
Citadel Bulldogs in the 38th re-
newal Of their traditional foot
ball rivalry at the Orangeburg
County Fair here today before
1000 fans.
Rain started falling in the first
period and continued intermit-
tently throughout. The rain play
ed hob with the ground game OF
the lighter and outmanned bull
dogs and the superiority of the
Carolina line was the decisive
factor.
The victory, 18th in a row for
the Gamecocks over the Bulldogs,
gave Carolina undisputed claim
to the mythical state champion
ship.
Heavily favored although bad
ly crippled with injuries, the
Gamecocks were held at bay by
a stubborn Bulldog defense I'm
til late in the second period, when
Harry Deloach broke over right
tackle for 10 yards to climax q
AZ yard scoring drive. Their sec
ond and last touchdown came
in the final period on a six yard
smash by Bobby Giles after a
march from the Citadel As.
