town streets.
It was to go along Fourteenth to
E streets, on E to Tenth street, on
Tenth to K street, and along K
back to Fourteenth street.
The invading partisans were to
pile into $50 automobiles at pm.
and whoop it up from Fourteenth
and K to the stadium.
What they hope is victory dance
will be held at 8 pm. in the Shore
ham Hotel, with the Washington
alumni inviting all North Carolina
students and visiting alumni.
Giant Bonfires Burn.
The enthusiasm was by no means
all pro-North Carolina. Out at
Ritchie Stadium in College Park
last night, the student body turned
out en- masse to voice their solid
backing of the Terrapins.
They danced and sang and
cheered while giant bonfire burned.
It was the climax of the annual
autumn carnival, with the selection

Harriet Kurtz, Tri Delt, was
named queen and the university

of Baltimore, Nd, was elected king
cf the autumn carnival.
Old grads and former players in
cluding Lu Gambino, last years

Sadie Hawkins Day race and SUBJ
sequent mock marriage, and a po-
tato sack race and creased pig race
between fraternity and sorority
members.
Crowned by DR.. H. c. Byrd, uni
versity president, the king and queen
will reign at the game and at a
dance tonight in the school armory.

A sizable segment of the crowd
for today's game could be credited
to Justice, North Cardinals ALI
American candidate and star of the
team that bowled over six powerful
foes. before absorbing q TT shock
from William and Mary last week.
Ma,yland's six victories match
North Carolina's total, but the Ter
rapins' opposition has not always
been as strong as has North Caro-
linas, and the Tar Heels were 13-
point favorites today.
Helping make this afternoons
game one Of the most important
in the country is that bowl
chances of both hinge, to a large
extent, on the outcsme. The Tar
Heels are headed for the Sugar
Bowl and will be practically in, If
they defeat the Terrapins as ex-
pected.
Orange Bowl Chance.
For Maryland it Is . chance to
make a strong bid for an Orange
Bowl invitation. The Terrapins went
to jacksonville Gator Bowl last
season but are aiming at something
bigger for next January !. The
Orange Bowl Is the one they have
their eyes on, but they need q VIC
tory this afternoon-plus wins over
Vanderbilt and West Virginia in re-
naming games-to get serious con-
sideration. The early part Of their
schedule, with the exception of
Duke, just wasn't strong enough to
command national respect. Today
is their big chance.
The game has other interesting
angles. The Terrapins have no one
player to match Justice or his run
ming mate, Hosea Rodgers, but they
do have plenty of backfleld power
spread over q number of players
Heading the old line attack is
Quarterback Vic Turyn, combina-
ton runner and passer who ranks
Goth in the Nation for total yards
gained. Vernon Seibert, back in
action after being injured in the
Duke game four weeks ago, Hubie
Werner, Jim LaRue and Johnny
Idzik are other ball-toting stand
outs on the Terrapin eleven. Still
another ground-gaining threat at
Maryland is Fullback Harry Bonk,
who, in addition to being one Of the
Southern Conferences most solid
blockers, is . powerful runner and
line bucker.
Justice in Second Place.
Justice and Rodgers together may
be able to match the whole Old
Line crew, however. Statistically,
Justice is the country's second best
ground gamer, his running and
passing having accounted for 1,147
yards to date. Only Nevada's Stan
Heath, exclusively q passer, has
more yards to his credit. Justice
also Is the Nations 10th best passer
and best punter.
Favorite target for his passes is
End Art Weiner, who has pulled in
IS passes for 381 yards and three
touchdowns so far.
The two teams are matched in
other statistical departments. Mary
land shows the country's best pass
ing defense, having permitted only
an average of 49.3 yards against it
through the air this season; it
is sixth in rushing offense. seventh
in total ot1ense, and fourth in total
defense.
