Along The.... Sidelines With ELTON CASEY STADIUM, Chapel Hill, Nov. 26.— (bpeciaij —ine xar Heels from the University of North Carolina just plastered a convincing 22 to 7 triumph on the Duke Blue Devils here this afternoon before a throng of some 44,000 paid ad missions. , , , _ „ .. ,. As the sun sets here in this beautiful football stadium there is nothing but joy and satisfaction for the entire Carolina student body and believe you me the Tar Heel fans are really making plenty of noise as most of the gallery file out. _ • .... This clash between these two bitter rivals has been ended some 10-minutes and the Carolina fans are practically refusing to leave. They are remaining in small groups discussing the spectacular feats of one lad. We don’t think it will be necessary^to say who this chap Is for he has received more publicity than any one footballer in DlX We refer to Charley (Choo-Choo) Justice who did everything that Head Coach Carl Snavely could ask today in turning back a stub born band of Blue Dukes. This was the first time that this reporter had cast an eye on the highly-publicized Choo-Choo. But we can say the former Asheville high school pigskin-lugger is “tops.’’ He ran, passed, kicked, blocked and tackled like an All-American today. There was some doubt before game-time as to whether the Choo-Choo would roll as he has done in past Carolina skirmishes. Eut, now that the struggle is over all agree that Justice can hold his own against any grid warrior in these United States. Jake Wade, the former Charlotte Observer sports ed and Caro lina sports publicist now, told us just a few seconds ago that he thought the Choo-Choo has been the year’s most exciting player. We agree and so do most of the 44,000 who donned fur coats and mit tens to eye this tussle today. Most of the coaches in the Southern Conference who have tried to map firm defenses to stop Justice have voiced opinions that the speedster is really a great player. And what we like about Charley is the way he supports his other mates during the game. He’s clean, too. On several occarions we saw Justice help up Duke players after thick and rough pileups. The stadium is vertually empty now, but up here under this press coop there is that ever incessant buzzing of the typewriters and the Western Union “tickers”. Most of the scribs that we have talked with today feel sure that Justice is a definite contender for All-American honors next season. Billy Anderson, of the Associated Press, and Dick Herbert, of the Baleigh News and Observer, sat on the same row with us and each felt that the Choo-Choo was the boy that brought bitter disaster to the gridders from the Methodist flats. However, all the glory cannot be bestowed upon the shoulders of Charley for the entire North Carolina eleven played inspired ball, both on defense and offense. Walt Pupa, Hosea Rodgers, Ralph Strayhorn, and Billy Myers all turned in outstanding performances. This scribe is under the impression that Carolina will receive a bid to participate in a New Year’s Bowl. And frankly we think that Coach Snavely will accept a bowl bid. The Orange Bowl looms as the most logical choice for the high flying Tar Heels, who have an unblemished record with the exception of one tie to VPI and a loss to Coach Bob Neyland’s Volunteers from Tennessee. We would like to see Carolina in a bowl. The lads have wofced hard and deserve national recognition. Carolina rings down the curtain on its successful 1946 campaign next Saturday by traveling to Charlottesville, Va., for an engage ment with the Virginia Cavaliers. The only thing that we have to say is that the lads from the Old Dominion had better get a cage and lock the Choo-Choo in it. If they don’t woe be unto them. Amen, brother. BULLDOGS TAKE EASY VICTORY Chattanooga Overpowered For Three Quarters In 48-27 Georgia Win CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Nov. 23 —(A3)—The University of Georgia Bulldogs overpowered the stubborn University of Chattanooga Mocca sins for three quarters today to win handily, 48-27, before an over coated homecoming crowd of 10,000. The contest practically assured the Bulldogs who played most of the game with mighty Charley Trippi on the bench, of a post season bowl game. Probably the most exciting moments came in the last quarter when little Chattanooga, still fight ing valiantly, scored three touch downs chiefly through the air. Little All-America candidate Gene Roberts and passes Howard Der rick sparked the Moccasin come back. Trippi, who rolled through the Chattanooga line with ease, played only long enough to build Geor gia’s lead to 19-0.
