South's Oldest Rivalry
Renewed On Gridiron

By Bob Cullen
Cavalier Daily Staff Writer

Today in Scott Stadium the
South's oldest football rivalry will
be renewed, and to the victor will
go the nation's newest trophy—an
old blue keg. Whether the keg will
be full for the Wahoos or not remains
to be seen.

Spectators still functioning at
game time should see an interesting
game between two teams which
have been disappointments thus far.
Carolina has defeated only punchless
Maryland and brings a 1-7 record
into today's contest. The
Cavaliers have yet to consistently
realize their potential and have
been in the habit of beating themselves.

This is the first year of Coach
Bill Docley's rebuilding program at
Carolina, and talent is still to be
found only in limited quantities at
Chapel Hill. Still, he has taken the
boys he does have and molded
them into a hard-nosed, well-conditioned
bunch. They have yet to be
embarrassed by any team on their
schedule.

Carolina moves the ball primarily
on the passing of quarterback Gayle
Bomar to a pair of Virginia residents,
Charlie Carr and Pete Davis.
The ground attack has not been
extremely effective, but when the
Tarheels run, either Bomar or
fullback Tommy Dempsey usually
gets the call.

Defensively, Carolina has been
able to contain against the pass but
has been found vulnerable to the
running game, a factor which bodes
well for the Wahoo tandem of
Frank Quayle and Jeff Anderson.

For the Cavaliers this is a must
game if they are to finish the season
in the style of last year's team
and attain a .500 record for the
year. Also on the line is Virginia's
three-game winning streak in the
series with the Tarheels.

Unfortunately, two of the men
expected to carry the offense have
been plagued by injuries this week—
Gene Arnette and Frank Quayle.
Both will play but probably not
as effectively as usual.

Coach Don Lawrence's defensive
secondary has been more than
effective this year, but due to their
unfamiliarity with the new system,
they have been hurt by tricky pass
patterns such as N.C. State's double
1. If they can avoid those rare but
costly mistakes they should be able
to contain Bomar and his Virginia-bred
compatriots.

However, UNC has recently
added just such a fancy formation
to their repertoire—the San Francisco
49ers' shotgun with Bomar
running or throwing.

Carolina-Virginia games have a
way of turning up surprises, and
this one should be no exception.
But if the Wahoos can refrain
from beating themselves, they
ought to be the first ones to tap
that keg.
