j. breeze past Indiana at Ann Arbor,
and CALIFORNIA; Golden Bears, rated
No. 4 nationally, are expected to skin
the Washington State Cougars at
Berkeley.
In general, the weeks schedule is
nothing to get excited over. 1t Is
not exactly crammed with games
between traditional" rivals, and
affords, rather, a oreather for many
of the top teams before they bunker
down in earnest for their closing
tussles.
Things will be especially quiet in
the South, which bulges with football
muscles. A collision between unde-
feated Clemson and Wake Forest at
Winston Salem appears to be the
sections top attraction, opposed only
by that between the two defensive
stalwarts, North Carolina and Mary
land, at Washington, D. c.
Tennessee, which upset Georgia
Tech a week ago, tackles Mississippi
at oxford, and Tulane entertains
Baylor of the Southwest Confer
ence at New Orleans. The latter
game bears Importance. Tulane,
by winning handsomely. could just
about clinch a Sugar Bowl berth.
Southern Methodist, now top COW
hand in the Southwest Conference
and apparently bound for repeat
performance in the Cotton Bowl on
New Years Day, should subdue
Arkansas at Fayetteville If Doak
Walker keeps his health. Texas
has a hard assignment against
T. c. U. at Fort Worth. Rice, which
walloped Arkansas last week, plays
the Texas Aggies at College Station.
Oklahoma's powerful Sooners, who
dominate the Big Seven race after
slaughtering Missouri, 41-7, in last
Saturdays most surprising result,
should have little trouble with Me-
braska at Norman.
Fight Consolation Battle.
The Ivy League has a good attrac-
ton up at Ithaca, where Cornell
and Dartmouth battle for what
might be termed consolation honors
in the East. Cornell has lost only
to Army, and Dartmouth has wal
loped five since losing its opener
to Penn. Princeton can win the Big
Three crown again by taking Yale
at New Haven.
Oregon, which like California still
is unbeaten in the Pacific Coast
Conference, Jumps the gun tonight
in an arc game against U. c. L. A.
at Los Angeles. incidentally, if both
the Webfoots and Bears should wind
Iup unbeaten in the conference, the
host team in the Rose Bowl would
be decided by vote of the other
league members.

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., Nov. H.
BY air, auto and train the enthu-
siastic, but worried followers OF
North Carolina's sixth ranking
football team today started con-
verging on Washington for tomor-
rows head-on collision with Mary
lands hopped-up eleven, with bowl
bids dangling in the balance.
Some 5000 Tar Heel worshippers
are deserting Chapel Hill as If fee
ing from a tidal wave.
They're whooping it up for a
North Carolina team which is first
in punting among the Nations coll
llege clubs, second in total. defense
and fourth in rushing defense.
Against that impressive statistical
lbarrage Maryland followers can
point to a team which is tops in
pass defense and sixth in overall
ofense.
Maryland, defeated only by Duke,
hasn't been confronted with the
| likes of North Carolina's rigorous
schedule The Tar Heels bowled
over Georgia, Texas, Wake Forest,
N. C. State, Tennessee and L. S. U.
before becoming the victim OF a
surprising TT tie engineered by
William and Mary last week.
Tar Heels Stars Are Toilers.
North Carolina has been installed
favorite, but there are skeptics who
insist the Tar Heels demanding
schedule and the terrific offensive
burden placed on Tailback Charley
Justice and Fullback Hosea Rodgers
finally is sapping North Carolina's
strength. Justice hasn't scrim-
mayed in practice since the L. S. U
game and Is a bruised boy.
Justice, one of the country's most
highly regarded backs, and Rodgers,
his swarthy roommate and buddy,
represent North Cardinals offense.
They have been presented little op-
portunity to rest, as evidenced by
the fact that the Tar Heels have
rushed the ball 316 times this
season, with Justice and Rodgers
accounting for 235 of the trips.
The Tar Heels have fired 1873 passes,
with Justice and Rodgers pegging
125 times.
Maryland, meanwhile, hasn't been
struggling with anything akin to
North Carolina's strenuous slate.
The Terps have disposed of Della
ware, Richmond, Virginia Tech,
Miami, George Washington and
South Carolina.
Terps' Offense Big League.
Against that comparative minor
league lot, though, the Terps have
displayed a big league of1ense.
They've averaged more than 1898
yards a game. Their only loss was

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., Nov. 12.-
Art Weiner. a towering end who
detested Chapel Hills pine-studded
scenery, quarreled with Coach Carl
Snavely and quit the North Caro-
lima team in a huff prior to the
Sugar Bowl game of 1947, repre-
sents one of the reasons the Tar
Heels will be 13-point favorites over
Maryland tomorrow at Washington.
All is sweetness between Snavely
and Weiner, Chapel Hill and Vein
er and the Tar Heels and Weiner
now. 1t took some maneuvering
but the 212-pound, 6-foot-3-inch
Weiner wedged his way back into
the good grace of all concerned.
Two years ago Weiner was dissat-
isfed here. There were reports he
was a prima donna who felt he was
being neglected on the North Caro-
lima football stage. At the end Of
the 1946 season, but before North
Carolina's appearance in the Sugar
Bowl against Georgia, Weiner dis
closed to a friend that he was going
to quit school, but was vague about
giving reasons.
Wanted to Be Near Home.
His friend informed Weiner that
he owed it to Snavely to discuss it
with the coach. Weiner trudged into
the glum, silent Snavely's Office, but
wouldn't open up. His reason for
quitting was that he wanted to be
closer to his Newark, N. j., home.
but it didn't make much sense to
Snavely.
Frankly, I hated Chapel HILL"
says Weiner, land I wanted to
transfer to some school nearer home.
Mr.. Snavely said that unless I could
assure him that I would return for
the 1947 season that he didn't see
much sense in allowing me to play
in the Sugar Bowl game. He wanted
to give the fellows who would be
back the following year chance tc
play.
Il wanted to play in that game,
but told him I wasn't going to lie
to him. I was going to quit and told
him so, so ! didn't make the trip
to New Orleans"
Others Didn't Want Him.
North Carolina lost that game,
20-10, and Weiner was no favorite
character in this sector. He had
returned to Newark, but he found
that transferring to another school
wasn't as simple as he had imagined.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The argu-
ment that has ragged for two sea-
sons over the relative merits OF
Michigan and Notre Dame will re-
ceive added fuel tomorrow when the
all-conquering Irish smash against
the once-beaten Northwestern Wild
cats at South Bend in the week
big game.
Perhaps the Nations football ex-
perts will be able to make up their
minds after this one. At the mo-
ment. Michigan holds the No. l spot
in the Associated Press poll by a
narrow margin. A week ago it was
Notre Dame, and the week before
that Michigan. It's a confused
circle.
Northwestern, cunning earnestly
for the Rose Bowl assignment from
the Big Nine, dropped its only deci-
sion to Michigan a month ago by
% to 0. If the Irish hope to displace
the Wolverines as the peoples
choice before the waning season
ends, they will have to lambast the
Wildcats by at least an equally
impressive margin.
Further light also should be shed
on the national championship pic
ture in the meeting at Philadelphia
between Arny's undefeated Cadets
No. 8 in the current ranking. and
Penn's Quakers. They will play be-
fore the day's largest crowd, close
to 10000.
May Be Army's Best Test.
This promises to be Army's best
severe test. Though Penn took a
1870 beating from Penn State last
week. it still Is big, strong team
virile on defense against a running
attack. If Gil Stephenson and
Bobby Jack Stuart and the other
Cadet backs continue to scoot against
the Quakers. then there can be little
further doubt that Coach Earl Blaik
