'Heels Nationally Ranked

Carolina Invades Saturday

By TOM BELL

Atlantic Coast Conference
leader North Carolina, ranked 15th
in the country by UPI, comes to
Scott Stadium tomorrow with a
chance to clinch a tic for the
conference title with a win over the
slumping Cavaliers.

The Wahoos close out their
home season against the Tar Heels
in the 76th renewal of the oldest
college football rivalry in the
South. The teams first met in 1892.

A win over the Cavaliers would
give the Tar Heels a chance to win
the ACC title for the first time ever
with a win over arch-rival Duke
next week.

The Cavaliers come into the
game in better than average health,
Only Jim Lacey, who has been hurt
all season, and Bill Farrell, who
suffered head injuries in last week's
loss to VPI, are expected to be at
less than normal speed. Larry
Albert, who took his usual
battering against Virginia Tech, will
start.

The Cavaliers will be searching
for a scoring offense against the Tar
Heels. Last week they threatened
often, but could not score.

The North Carolina defense will
not be an easy one for the Cavaliers
to penetrate. The Heels lead the
ACC in total defense and are
second in scoring defense. The
Cavaliers, meanwhile, are fifth in
the league in total offense, and
dead last in scoring offense.

Carolina's defense, led by
All-American candidate John
Bunting at linebacker, has been
inconsistent on the season. They
held Notre Dame to 16 points and
shut out Illinois and Richmond, but
gave up 37 points to Tulane and 35
to William and Mary.

A powerful Tar Heel offense
will challenge the Wahoo defense,
which has shown signs of
improvement in recent weeks,
giving up only 30 points in the last
three games. The Tar Heels lead
the league in total offense, as well
as defense, and also lead the ACC in
scoring. Only against Notre Dame,
who shut them out, have they been
held to less than 25 points in a
game.

Quarterback Paul Miller and
runner Lewis Jolley will lead the
Carolina attack.

The game will be a homecoming
of sorts for 19 members of the
North Carolina squad, all of whom
hail from the Old Dominion. Coach
Bill Dooley and his staff have
recruited heavily in Virginia in
recent years. Nine of the Virginia
Tar Heels will start.

Eight Cavalier starters, led by
co-captains Andy Selfridge and
Gary Helman, will play their last
games in Scott Stadium tomorrow.
Offensively, split end Bill Davis and
tackle Stormy Costas (starting in
place of the injured Farrell) will
finish their home careers, while
tackle Bob Bressan, linebacker Ric
McFarland, and backs Bill Kettenun
and Bob McGrail are in their final
seasons.

The two squads have faced two
common opponents during the
season. N.C. State lost to UNC,
27-7, and the Cavaliers, 14-10,
while Clemson, 32-15 winners
against the Wahoos, lost last week
to the Tar Heels, 26-13.

Carolina has won the last two
meetings between the clubs,
following a five-year Cavalier win
streak. Last year the Heels came
from a 15-0 first half deficit to win,
30-15, in Chapel Hill.

The series, which has been
played continuously since 1892,
except for during World War I, now
stands at 32 Cavalier wins against
40 losses and four ties.

Members of the 1941 Cavalier
football squad, which beat Carolina
28-7 in what was probably all-time
great Bill Dudley's finest game, will
be honored at the game on their
30th anniversary. 24 members of
the team, which compiled the best
record (8-1) in Virginia history, will
be on hand to be recognized at the
half.

Game time will be 1:30 p.m. in
Scott Stadium, with a crowd of
about 25,000 on hand.
