Tar Heels Get
All Points in
First Quarter

Knoxville, Tenn, Oct.30-(AP)
P-Charlie Justices two first
quarter touchdown passes kept
North Carolina in the dwindling
list of major undefeated college
football teams today by defeat
ing Tennessee, IA to Z. 1t was
North Cardinals thirteenth con-
secutive victory.
Tennessee, starting slowly
came back savagely to score in
the third period on ]. B. Proc
tors pass to J. w. Sheriff.. The
Vols challenged all the rest of
the way.
The most brilliant run-for 80
yards-was cancelled by clip
ping penalty. Near the end of
the first half, Hal Littleford of
Tennessee took Justices punt on
his 10 and ran the length of the
field. The officials ruled, how
ever, that Ermal Howard clip
ped Hosea Rodgers, the mighty
North Carolina fullback. The
ball was called back to the
Tennessee nine yard line to a
mighty chorus of boos from the
record crowd of $4,000.
Between halves several hun
dred spectators, mostly boys,
closed in on the officials but po-
lice dispersed them.
Until the last period Tennes-
see kept ChooChoo Justices run
ming fairly well under control,
but Rodgers, the other half of
North, Cardinals offensive
punch, took yer on behalf of his
shifty teammate.
North Cardinals first touch
down was ground out the first
time the invading team got the
ball. Eleven plays were requir-
ed to go SIS yards. Then from
the three yard line Justice pass
ed to Bill Flamisch in the end
zone.
A few moments later Hal Lit
tleford's only bad punt of the
game set North Carolina going
from the Tennessee q. This
time Justice passed from the u
to Art Weiner who was charging
through the end zone. Bob Cox
made both conversions and it
looked as if the nations third
ranking football team was on its
way to celebrating Tennessee.
But Tennessee, playing before
the biggest home crowd in its
history, decided otherwise. Can
ceiling of Littleford's 80 yard
gallop seemed to provide the
necessary spark.
The stage was set for Tenn
essee's touchdown in the third
period when Rodgers fumbled
and Alan Fielder recovered on
the Tennessee Is. A penalty put
the ball back to the 20. Short
passes and bucks carried to the
North Carolina Al and there it
was that j. B. Proctor, the in
jured Tennessee star went in to
throw to Sheriff. on the 20. He
ran the rest of the way to score.

Californian
Lands Big Fish
On Weldon Visit

Gordon Draper, former resi-
dent of Weldon said today he
has something to tell the peo-
pie in California about Nor h
Carolina fish when he returns
to his job at the Naval Ord
nance Station at China Lake,
California after visit with re-
latives and friends in Weldon.
One day last week he went
fishing with friends in Williams
Pond near Gatasville and came
home with a large-mouthbass
which tipped the scales at eight
pounds and one ounce.
When he got back to Weldon,
he remarked, 'My friends in
California refuse to believe that
we grow such big fish in North
Carolina so Pm having some
proof made of this one"
He had about eight snapshots
of himself, complete with fish,
made so he could have some
proof to take back to the Far
West.
He said he travelled 5000
miles to get the fish he landed
in Gates County, but he re-
marked that he could not have
succeeded in landing the fish
without the aid of Joe Hartsoe
and B. F. Collins of Weldon. He
said Hartsoe netted the catch
and Collins Unanswered the boat
so the strike would not be just
another Zone that got away.

half, couldn't cope with such
continued speed. Trailing 81 at
half time, Tech ran and passed
70 yards to take the lead early
in the third quarter then drove
s. yards on the ground for its
final touchdown.
The thrills, such as they were,
all came in the first few min
utes. Just a couple of plays af-
ter Tech received the kickoff.
Jordan fumbled and Al Deroga-
tbs, Dukes fine tackle, recover
ed. The Blue Devils couldn' I
gain this time, but when Tech
tried to kick out of danger, Der
Buster Humphreys punt and
CaE Parkinson fell on the ball
ogatis slashed through to block
on the 26 yard line.
Fred Folger, who shared
Dukes passing duties with Bill
Cox fired long one to Tommy
Hughes, who was downed on the
one yard mark. Fullback Paul
Stephan smashed over for the
score; Mike Scuchak converted
and Duke held an unforeseen
10 lead.
Just a couple of minutes later
Techs George Bradnax blocked
Cox's kick and the Jackets took
the ball on the Duke 20. A pass
interruptions spoiled that threat,
but Duke never got out of the
hole.
Queen galloped 43 yards to
the Duke four just before the
quarter ended and after being
stopped just short of the goal,
Tech came bac kfor its first
touchdown. This was accom-
plished by Al yard Southland
Griffin pass.
From there on, play was on
the conservative side, as soon as
the Georgians got the ball early
in the second nalf, they began
to move despite a 15-yard clip
ping penalty, they went all the
WaV Two Masses fipIlrad in thic
drive and the important one was
behind-the-line flip which Jor-
dan converted IN to a 80 yard
game by flashy running.
Later Tech marched As yards
without once taking to the air
for its final score with O'Neill
and Cobb alternating ia five tc
ten yard gains.

After falling behind in the
first few minutes as the result
.,of a tumble and blocked kick,
STech didn't take the lead until
the third quarter. The third

was just added proof that the
Yellow Jackets were the better

To Become Official

Hungry Horse, Montana will be-
come an official post office add,
ress about May 1, according to Ia
test information from the post
office department.
Meanwhile Flatnead county
commissioner Wednesday appro-
we'd the change in name of Dam
town to Hungry Horse as asked by
Roland Andersen and Ward Nc
MILAN.
The change in name was asked
in view of the post office depart
ment's hesitancy in granting an
office to Damtown. There may be
other Damtowns in various parts
of Montana, and mail confusion
would result.
The new Hungry Horse post Of
flee will be located in what up
until now was called Damtown. 1t
will be adjacent to Hungry Horse
village, the name Of the bureau OF
reclamation town. The new post
office will service the area be-

no drifting had occurred.
Ranger Henderson is to return
today, and leaves likely on Mol
day with District Ranger Hugh
Buchanan for Kishenehn creek
near the Canadian line where an
other snow measurement is TAX

amount of spring and summer
stream runoff.
Also scheduled to leave Thurs
day were Flathead national for
est rangers, Theodore Paullin and
Clarence Robertson, who will go
by snowmobile to Spotted Bear
station so miles from civilization
Their snow measurements will be
used to help determine runoff that
goes into the area that eventually
becomes part of Hungry Horse
