CHAPEL HILL. Nov. 6.-You'd
never believe it after looking at the
statistics, but William and Mary
held mighty North Carolina to a
TT tie today after being outplayed
from here to, Williamsburg.
In fact, 1t is not stretching a point
to say that Carolina-which started
it's 13-game winning streak against
William and Mary last year-was a
bit fortunate 10 get the lie. Twice
intl,e Tar Heels third period touch
down drive or T6 yards they were
stopped colder than is. below, only
to regain the ball and pick up yard
age on two penalties against the
Indians.
The $4,000 fans-including seven
scouts from the University of Mary
land-watched the Tar Heels roll up
II first downs to one. But most OF
their ground gaining by their bril-
liant one-two-punch, Charley JUS
tice and Hosea Rodgers, was ac-
comphshed in harmless fashion be-
tween the 30-yard lines.
Carolina probably will better its
standing as the second best de-
fensive club in the Nation-but that
is small consolation to a team that
was a 28-point favorite. William
and Mary, remember, had been
beaten by st. Bonaventure in addi-
ton to Wake Forest.
Indians "Play 1t Safe"
Using the two-complete-teams
system, Coach Carl Snavely watched
mis- defensive club hold the Indians
to net 10 yards rushing and %
through the air. Without a SEM
blance of an offense, William and
Mary obviously was playing for a
deadlock after Carolina tied it up In
the third period.
Maryland, awaiting its major test
against the Tar Heels next Satur-
day in Griffith Stadium in WASH
ington, undoubtedly took heart by
the Indians performance against
Carolina today For the Indians. a
game, but dead-tired bunch at the
final gun, proved Carolina is no su-
per team.
An Arlington CVa0 product, Wash
ington-Lee Highs Billy Hayes, once
the Districts outstanding schoolboy
back, was sent in to pitch the Tar
Heels to a touchdown in the fading
seconds of the game. But his last
forward was intercepted by Joe
Marx Of William and Mary, who
was stopped on the Tar Heels 81 at
the finish.
The Tar Heels have only them
selves to blame for several of their
mishaps. Three times they lost the
ball on fumbles-with Ralph Floyd
Tommy Thompson and Pat Hag-
gerty on the pickups for the In
dians-and four times the Tar Heels
had passes intercepted-by Tommy
KorczoWski, Henry Blanc, Lou
Hoitsma and Mark.
Lexis Punting Helps w. g. M.
William and Mary threw all its
five passes in the first half and in
the second stuck to the ground for
fear that one of the Tar Heels
breakaway backs would intercept
and break up the ball game. Thomp-
son, Hoitsma and Cloud particularly
were outstanding on defense for
the visitors. with Center Thompson
the best defensive player of the day
The Indians owe much, too, to
Buddy Lex, who quick kicked and
punted for a 54-yard average in
the first half. His average dropped
to 43 for the game, but that's not
bad for IS punts-all under pressure
just a few moments after the first
rain drop fell on this hot, humid
day, William and Mary scored its
touchdown-at 800 of the second
period. Rodgers fumbled going
through the line and Floyd of the
Indians recovered. Cloud made two
