CHAPEL HILL, N. c.. Nov. 29.-
If the Orange Bowl officials had a
second guess-and North Carolina
wishes they did-you'd probably
find the Tar Heels in Miami on
New Year Day.
The bid that Carolina expected to
receive will not be forthcoming be-
cause other teams were selected yes
terday, but they're saying down here
that the Tar Heels are the best team
In the country today and they Ger
tainly looked terrific this afternoon
in routing the University Of VIZ
ginia, 40 to 7.
An unexpected turnout of more
than 10000 watched the SD renewal
Of one of the South's oldest gridiron
rivalries, but Virginia did not have
the manpower to make it q contest
as the Tar Heels rode to their
seventh straight triumph.
Charley Justice. making belated
bid for the All-America honors ex-
pected of him, outgained the entire
Virginia team in his most dazzling
exhibition of the season. He scored
two touchdowns-one of them as
pass received. His rushing yard
age was al yards, he picked up 78
on punt returns and showed 80 yards
gained in passing. His punting
average was a highly respectable
43 yards.
Justice is beautiful runner. If
blockers are handy, he can pick the
right man to follow but If not he
finds holes and actually runs lot
farther than his yardage shows as
he weaves and cuts cross field. And
the Tar Heels wisely used Charley as
a decoy. springing excellent running
backs such as Hosea Rodgers, Walt
Pupa, Jim Camp or Johnny Glenn
eIits loose when Justice was covered.
For Virginia. it was a rude ending
to a season that showed great prom
ise when the Cavaliers rode the crest
of a six-game winning streak. The
humiliating loss today was their
third in the last four games. There
was even a Carolina background to
the only Virginia touchdown as
George Grimes. who scored from
five yards out to climax 79-yard
drive late in the fourth quarter,
played for Carolina several years
ago. Grimes also added the point.
Fumbles Opening Kickoff.
Fumbles, Virginia jinx that hit
the Cavaliers in the Penn game
and stuck close ever since, started
handicapping the Cavaliers when
the game was only seconds old.
Carl Elliott of Virginia fumbled the
opening kickoff return and Mike
RUBBISH recovered for Carolina on
the Virginia a..
The Tar Heels drove to their first
touchdown without losing the ball,
with Pupa on the payoff punch for
the score. Bob Cox added the first
of four conversions.
Carolina drove u yards to its
second touchdown, with Clements
the point maker from 10 yards out
on a reverse that was befuddling
the Cavaliers all day.. It was q
sprint around the weak side, with
the fullback handing the ball to the
ball carrier from Carolina's single
wing formation. Too often, Virginia
linemen dived for the empty-handed
fullback..
Justice turned pass receiver to-
make 1t 200 at half time as he was
way ahead of Virginia's secondary
In taking pass from Rodgers on a
play that covered % yards.
Justice Makes 4th.
The fourth touchdown was mostly
a Justice production as be went 55
yards with a punt return and finally
scored standing up from the S.
Camp made the fifth on the favorite
reverse play on an 18-yard sprint
and the last was a Bill Maceyko to
Ken Powell pass that covered II
yards and featured q nice run by
Powell.
The Carolina line, or lines, turned
virginia back outside OF the Caro-
lima Is except on the Cavaliers
touchdown drive.
Grimes was Virginia's best bet on
the ground in addition to doing some
great kicking. Grover Jones, Bill
Bailey and Ray Brown made first
down gains spasmodically. Virginia
undoubtedly missed its regular split
T quarterback, Joe McCary, who had
q bad ankle.
The longest pass of the day was an
aerial from Billy Hayes. Washing
tons outstanding scholastic back two
years ago from Washington and Lee
High. He connected for a 50-yard
gain, all in the air, to Johnny
Tandy.
