Carrying over both of the Tar Heeltouchdowns and spearhead of thedrives that led up to them, Lalanne,although one of his punts was blockedamply made up for the absence ofGeorge Stirnweiss, who sat on thebench, still favoring the charley horsehe suffered in last week's Wake Forest game. Stirny warmed tip part ofthe game, but through most of theafternoon he sat on the bench bitinghis finger nails and lending aid on theCarolina cause only with his line ofchatter; waiting for any emergencycalls to action.CALL DOESN'T COMEThe call never came. Carolina, aftera scoreless first quarter, swept acrosswith a second quarter touchdown,added another in the third and thenproceeded to play defensive ball in thelast period. The only Gobbler touchdown came in the closing seconds ofplay when a pass over the goal line ap- .parently batted , down by a Tar Heelbackfield man, fell into fourth-stringback Garrett Taylor's hands for aVirginia Tech scpre.Carolina movecj slowly most of thegame. It may have been the Tar Heelswere suffering natural let-downs from ,their record-breaking scoring againstWake ; Forest; iih5cF. The" Citadel, or itmay have been the fact that the Wolfmen were holding back for the startof major league competition next Saturday against NYU. But whateverit was, at no time did Carolina moveas smoothly or with as much precisionas it did in the opening two battles ofthe year. .Realizing, perhaps, that the TarHeels were not right, Coach Wolf usedtwo complete teams, substitutingfreely. Lalanne and Harry Dunkle,who kicked better than ever, were thebackfield standouts. Paul Severin,moulding his play more and more intothe Andy Bershak pattern of spending 'afternoons in the enemy backfield wasa line standout along with Bob Smith,Jim Woodson, Jim Mallory and BillFaircloth.After a dulPfirst quarter in whichboth teams seemed to be holding backto see what the other would spring,Carolina struck early in the second 'quarter with the second-string back-(Continued on page 3, column 6)Signing were 12 bishops of the Methodist Church and the Protectant Episcopal Church; 16 daily newspaper editors and publishers; 30 college presidents; 12 business leaders; nine lawyers and jurists; six state superintendents of public instruction; fourlabor leaders ; and others.NORTH CAROLINARepresenting North Carolina were i.Bishop Thomas C.
