Last Minute FG Lifts UNC Over Duke, 16-14
By BILLY CARMICHAEL 111
What a difference a play makes!
The play was a 42-yard field
goal by Tar Heel Max Chapman
with 33 seconds remaining that
shoehorned Carolina past Duke,
16-14, in their annual hootenanny,
performed before 47,500 fans gath
ered together in Duke Stadium
on Thanksgiving Day.
For the Tar Heels Chapman’s
crossing the bar made a whale
of a difference. It gave Carolina
a season's record of 8-2, its best
since 1948. It earned the Tar

Propped up in bed, with the
light just right, I have been in
ducing sleep by reading tech
nical books—volumes in science,
in sociology, economics, city
planning,- psychology, philosophy,
anthropology.
It has produced, not only the
desired soporific effect, but a
by-product: a well - organized
dream.
I dreamt that a national foun
dation awarded me SIOO,OOO to
find out why a chicken crosses
the road. The dream, in full
detail, follows:
Subject of Research Applica
tion: “Inquiry Into the Intra-
Thoroughfare Transmigration Mo
tivations of a Poultry Population.
The Methodology utilized in the
approach to the problem consist
ed of stratified samples of chick
en conduct. This was comprised
of habits, instincts, customs, and
other empirical evidence of self
instituted progression on foot by
hens, roosters, pullets, cockerels,
biddies and other fowl, from sub
stantive and procedural concep
tual dynamics both in specifics
and as a continuum to give ap
propriate examination to the
phenomena of fowl inter-actions
and behavior patterns.

The research team consisting
of four psychologists, two phy
sicists, two philosophers, one eco
nomist, nine sociologists, a city
planner, a consulting highway
engineer, and a veterinarian,
were assisted by a squadron of
two dozen graduate students in
kindred disciplines.
The chickens utilized were 3,-
997 in number—and were select
ed impartially from poultry
farms, hen houses, barnyards,
chicken coops on the acres of

And though Chapman’s kick

499 miles to Jacksonville on Dec

Junior Got The Goal Post
Pad, Coach Aycock The Ball
By 808 QUINCY
Junior Edge sat at the rear of
the bus wearing full gear and a
* sizeable smile. He had chosen
the outside seat, next to the win
, dow. Beside him was a white
canvas cover.
“Goal post pad,” said Edge,
patting his newly acquired prop
erty. “Fellow out f-.ere (pointing
toward the field) tore it off and
gave it to me. This is something
I’m going to keep with pride.”
The canvas had been a part of
the goal which was cleared by
Max Chapman's 41 - yard field
goal, a kick which was as dis
astrous to Duke as the one Mrs.
O’Leary’s cow gave Chicago. It
meant a 16-14 North Carolina
victory.
* * *
The bus moved slowly from
the edge of Duke Stadium to
ward the exits. Swarms of fans
waved and shouted. The players
would either nod or wave back.
They were tired and happy
and exhausted and thankful on
Thanksgiving Day.
There was a slight delay as
the driver of the long vehicle
found the narrow gate almost
impossible to squeeze through.
“Hey, driver,” shouted some
one. “Make Willard get out and
run through the fence.’’
Ken Willard, the fullback, smil
ed. He had experienced a great
day against the Blue Devils, one
in which he outlined the tal
ented Jay Wilkinson. Duke half,
for the Atlantic Coast Confer
ence rushing title.
End Bob Lacey was up front,
next to the driver, quiet and tight
lipped. A makeshift bandage,
holding an ice pack, was applied
to his knee.
“How's the knee, Lace,’’ the
plavers kept asking.
“Dunno," replied Bob. ’lt felt
like it went out when I was
tackled on our final drive. I’m
just hoping It wIH bo all right.”

Duke won, 16-14, on Billy Rey
nolds’ field goal with 48 seconds
to play.
—lt was the third year in a
row that a field goal had made
the difference and that the game
had been decided in the last min
ute of play. Three years ago,
Duke won, 6-3, in the last three
seconds of play on a field goal
by the aforementioned Mr. Rey
nolds.
—The last four Carclina-Duke
games have been decided by a
total of eight points.
Now the bus was on the open
highway, purring along in Times
Square traffic;
A white station wagon pulled
alongside in the double lane.
An exuberant driver, oblivious
to safety, began blowing kisses
with both hands to the Tar Heels.
Gene Sigmon, the co-captain
and tackle, balled his fist, raised
his left arm upward and cheer
ed, "Yippee!"
Several others joined him. For
seniors like Sigmon, it was the
first victory over Duke.
Suddenly Sigmon turned, his
face a mask of disappointment.
"Junior, Junior,” he shouted
for Edge’s attention. “The game
ball We forgot the game ball.”
“Take it easy, Sig” soothed
the quarterback. “I got it right
here. First thing 1 did when
the gun sounded. I made sure
I’d get the ball.”
Jim Hickey Had A Certain Light In His Eyes
By J. A. C. DUNN
Coach Jim Hickey wanted to
stay and talk about it. As de
lirious Carolina fans demolished
goal posts in a frenzy of glee or
simply bellowed en route to the
Duke Stadium exits, Coach Hick
ey stood by his team’s buses and
remembered a few glorious mo
ments. He had a certain light in
his and the air of a man
who sipped Nectar in the promis
ed land.
“We never thought we were go

Carolina had been one point be

and the Tar Heels were still con

Chapman’s field goal didn’t
really settle the issue entirely.
In the little more than half-min
ute that remained, there occur
red a rhubarb about the dock
and the official time.
Here’s what happened. When
Carolina lined up for Chapman’s
field goal attempt there were 38
seconds showing on the clock and
time was out.
When Carolina lined up to kick
off following Chapman’s boot the
clock indicated 21 seconds left.
A field goal play doesn’t take 17
seconds and the clock operator
How about the Bccvl bid? some
one asked. All set. The big
Gator at Jacksonville was sign
ed and sealed.
"Yippee!” sounded off Sigmon,/
who knew all along the bid was
cinched.
Edge said he was as happy as
a man could he.
"I had confidence all along,” ’
he revealed in that slow, sure
drawl. It was much like a to
bacco farmer saying he knew
the crop would be good, despite
threatening weather.
“I told them in the huddle,”
revealed Edge, “—boys, we’ve
got more than a minute and 20
seconds. We can do a lot of
scoring in that time. I just knew
we could do it.”
So the Tar Heels marched and

They even thought so before
the game started. Coach Hickey
said, and that thought had
prompted them to accept a Gator
Bowl bid before they even left
Kenan Field House. ‘We wanted
it and we knew we had to win it."
Max Chapman did it with a 41-
yard field goal that had Coach
Hickey shaking his head, almost
in disbelief, even after the game
was over. “Max Chapman . . ."
He repeated the namr a couple
of times, slowly wagging his
his head. “Didn't he do a great
job on that kick.” It was a moun
tainous understatement, and he
knew it. but more powerful words
were not within reach at that
moment.

the clock run on with time out
on two previous occasions in the
game.
Duke Coach Bill Murray, the
last of the graceful losers, rushed
on to the field to protest. The

It should have more time on its
hands.
The officials by now had let

The Merchants Association's
Christmas Parade will open the
Christmas shopping season in
Chapel Hill and Carrboro Tues
day afternoon. The parade will
start at 5:30 at the corner of
Greensboro and Main Streets in
Carrboro, and wi’) proceed down
Main Street and Franklin Street
in Chapel Hill, ending at the
Morehead Planetarium.
The parade will be without
some units which had originally
planned to participate. A Defense
Department communique last
wees ordered all armed forces
units not to participate in any
public displays or parades “not
in the immediate interests of the
defense of the nation" during the
official 30-day period of mourn
ing for the late President John
F. Kennedy.
As a result, University Air
Force and Naval ROTC units will
not take part in the parade as
they have in the past. The two
ROTC units would have contribut
ed their color guard, drill team,
and drum and bugle corps.
But three other bands and
various floats and other units
will take part.
The theme of the parade will
be Christmas in nursery rhymes.
The nursery rhyme atmosphere
will be created by Frank Cain’s
Attractions, a group of about 40
giant caricature heads of nursery
rhyme characters, with costumes
to match, which will be brought
to Chapei Hill by Mr. Cain and
filled by members of the Chapel
Hill Y-Teens. Mr. Cain’s charac
ter-heads and costumes have been
used in many nationally famous
parades such as the Mummers
Parade in Philadelphia, Mardi
Gras in New Orleans, and Macy’s
Christmas Parade in New York.
Other units to take part in the
parade include the Lincoln High
School Band, bands from South

Position for a field goal, he said,
was achieved with what he calls
his two-minute offense, which con
sists of “sideline passes and
tilings like that to stop the clock.”
