The Carolina Biddies met the
Ike Blue Imps in a cold, wind
)wn Carolina Stadium last Fri
,y night and lost a hard-fought,
-6, football contest to the North
Lrolina invaders.
The Biddies, who lost 6-0, to
e Wake Forest Baby Deacons in
eir opening game, again showed
lod hustle and spirit, but
imerous mistakes hurt their
ances of victory. Fumbles and
porous pass defense were the
ajor reasons for their downfall.
Looking good again for the
ddies was their scholastic All
l1erica fullback, John Saunders.

the losing cause.

New Look
By Dale Hawkinson
Special Writer
Last Monday the "new look" in
freshman basketball appeared on
the hardwood under the direction
of frosh cage mentor Walter
Hambrick. Hambrick, who came
to Carolina last year from Pikes
ville Junior College in Kentuck7
sent his charges through an :b
tensive workout at the first prac
tice session Monday afternoon.
Leading the new crop in height
is Larry Dial, 19-year-old center,
who towers 6'10%" skyward.
Backing up Dial at the center
position will be Freddie Luigs, 18,
who stands 6'4".
The forward positions will
probably be held down by former
Dreher High School stars, Walt
and Bury Hudson. Walt who is
18 years old, stands 6'5%" And
Bury, also 18, stands 6'6". Ether,
however, could be switched to the
center or guard positions with
ease as they both are capable of
holding down any position on the
team. Mike Callahan, 20, standing
6'6", will give Coach Hambrick
more of the all important height
which is needed for a winning
team.
At the guard positions three
men will be fighting for the start
ing berths. Bob Graves and Dan
Morgan seem to have the inside
track to the backeourt positions
although Marvin Gregory could
give them quite a battle for a
starting assignment.
Other boys who showed plenty
of hustle at the first practice
were, forwards Gerald Raper, Jim
Macedon, Jack Brown; and guards
Dalton Floyd, John Timmerman,
Bill Crowlley and Bob Smith.
