KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 30
Charlie Justices two first quarter
touchdown passes kept North Caro-
lima in the list of major undefeated
college football teams today by de-
feating Tennessee, IA to-.
1t was North Cardinals 18th con-
secutive victory over two seasons.
Tennessee, starting slowly, came
back savagely to score in the third
period on a pass play after which
the Vols challenged the rest of the
way.
The most brilliant run-for 80
yards-was cancelled by q clipping
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, however, that Ermal
Howard had clipped Hosea Rodgers,
the mighty North Carolina fullback.
The ball was called back to the
Tennessee 9-yard line to a mighty
chorus of boos from the record
crowd of $4,000.
Crowd Menaces Officials.
+. Between halves several hundred
spectators, mostly boys, closed in on
the officials but police dispersed
them.
Until the last period Tennessee
kept Justices running fairly well
under control. but Rodgers, the other
half of North Cardinals offensive
punch, took over on behalf of his
shifty teammate.
The traditional game between the
two powerful Southern teams began
mechanically, but then became
tensely dramatic.
North Carolina's first touchdown
was ground out the first time the
invading team got the ball. Eleven
plays were required to go SIS yards.
Then from the three-yard line, JUS
tice passed to Bill Flamisch in the
end zone.
A few moments later Hal Little
tord's only bad punt of the game
set North Carolina going from the
Tennessee 81. This time Justice
passed from the IL to Art Weiner
in the end zone.
Bob Cox made both conversions
and it looked as if the nations
third ranking football team was on
its way to obliterating Tennessee.
But Tennessee, playing before the
biggest home crowd in its history,
decided otherwise. Cancelling of
Littleford's 90-yard gallop seemed to
provide the necessary spark.
The stage was set for Tennessee'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.
