CHAPEL HILL, N. c., Sept. 25.-
Rushing favored Texas of its feet
with three touchdowns the first -four
times it got the ball, North Carolina
sent the Longhorns down to a
crushing 34-7 defeat here today.
Tailback Charley Justice threw
two touchdown passes and scored
twice to engineer the triumph as
sellout $500 crowd saw Carl
Snavely's Tar Heels get even for
last season when Texas handed
them $40 lacing.
With a big, fast charging line
rushing the Sugar Bowl champions
ace passer Paul Campbell time and
again, the North Carolinians simply
overwhelmed the visitors.
The Carolinians piled up a 2l-o
lead before Texas was able to tally
late in a tremendous first period.
The next two periods were score
less. Then the Carolinians went
back to the attack with two more
touchdowns in the final quarter to
round out q smashing opening game
performance. The defeat was one
of the most resounding in recent
Texas history.
Justice Catches Fire.
North Carolina was unstoppable
in that first period. The Tar Heels
gave one of the greatest offensive
displays ever seen in Kenan Stadium
Justice, 165-pound tailback, set
up the first score with a 38-yard
punt return to the Texas Al. Three
electrifying plays later North Caro-
lima had a touchdown. After an
incomplete pass, Justice handed OH
to Wingback Johnny Clements who
made 20 to the 81. Then Justice
passed to big Art Weiner, who took
the ball on the and went over for
the touchdown. End Bob Cox
booted the first of four placements.
Fullback Tom Landry fumbled the
next kickoff and Clements pounced
on the ball on the Longhorn 5.
Fullback Hosea Rodgers picked
up one yard and then Justice
scooted over standing up. Cox's
kick made it 14-0 after five minutes
Of play.
Tar Heels Hit Again.
After a punt exchange, North
Carolina began a 57-yard drive
that required seven plays. Rodgers
and Justice teamed Up on the
pitching end with Wingback Bill
Flamisch and Weiner receiving.
They put the ball on the 2 with
third down coming up. Then JUS
tice passed over the goal line to Cox
for the score. Cox kicked the point.
Texas finally got into the act.
Four plays, two of them long passes,
covered II yards for score. The
payoff was a Campbell pass to End
Ben Proctor for IS yards.
The nearest approach to second
period score came in the last 30
seconds following several punt ex-
changes. A 65-yard Justice punt
helped keep the Southwestern Con-
ference team on its heels.
After a third period spent prin-
cipally between the 30yard lines,
the Tar Heels went on the attack
again.
The Texas passing attack again
backfred. Sub Wingback Fred Sher-
man intercepted a Campbell pass
and brought 1t back Is yards to the
Texas 80. Here a 15-yard penalty
was imposed on Texas when Tackle
