11s a memorial to his father and -mother. A colorful crowd of nine thousand spectators seemed small In tho immense concrete stands on either sldo of tho green gridiron, but it made up in enthusiasm what It lacked in size. The Tar Heel team, too, caught the ent husiasm nnd swept up and down the field In Impressive manner to roll over a quartet of touchdowns. Tho eleven that swamped tho Wl I deals today appeared to he a different combination from the one that had worn the Carolina onlors thhi season. The personnel was the same, but the spirit and drive was amazing.

Spabflngs try for point failed, and tho game ended with Carolina 27, Davidson 0. Tho feature of Carolina's team play today was the diversified attack. Tho Tar Heels worked their aerial plays for 172 yards gain, now heaving the ball short into the flat zone nnd then a long one far down the field. They ran the end Individually the shining light or the university eleven was Ray Fnrrls, a fighting sophomnra guard.

He was In every ulav. breaking through the tlno to smear plays, down under punts to throw the snfety man. nnd opening great holes on the offensive. When ha was finally led from tho field In the fourth quarter, his mouth nnd face bleeding. He was given a tremendous ovation Jvy the crowd.

Other shining lights in the Tar Heel constellation were Schwartz, outstanding cnndldate for all-Southern center, nd Young nnd Gresham, star halfbacks. Greshani and Young formed a dangerous passing combination nil through the game. And when they wer replaced In the fourth quarter by Sp ildlng nnd Jackson their succes-ors netted the final touchdown, Spalding and Jackson, both sophomores, used reverslhle system, Foa rd, Young, ljissiter, Jackson, ing. For Davidson the laurels go to Captain Dick Grey nnd Mutt N'ls-het in the backfield and to Hi sr Jim Grey In the line. They stood out in their teams play through the game.

OP) A world's heavyweight champion preparing for a contest involving defense nf his title engages in a comparatively short period of training not more than six or oiRht weeks, with probably two weeks of Intensive training.

The same is true with the intercollegiate football players. the baseball stars, track performers and others. The business of training however Is a different story with Welker t'ochran world's chnmplon IK. 2 balk lino billlardlst. Cochran trains SB.l days In a year.

There are no periods of loafing In his schedule no "days off" away from the green covered table. Cochran plays his game nil the time all tho year around, to keep in trim for his billiard competition. He keeps himself physically fit hy clean living, a little golf, long dally hikes and careful rating. To keep his delicate stroke in perfect adjustment ho spends hours in dally practice, often in a room by himself. During the period when no championship match Is In immediate prospect Cochran engages in exhibition play.

Hut just prior to on Important championship match he seeks the solltudo of a private room, where, nil by himself, he practices for hours at a time, clicking off the ivories with nobody around to criticise his leoh-nl'iuo or acclaim hia masterful shots. enough this 3 2 -year-old master of tho billiard world considers a brisk hike, finishing sometime just few minutes he-fore he goes to the table to defend his title, his best conditioner. This walk, he says, settles his nerves. The fresh air refreshes him menially. Cochran says nil hlllnrd stars are victim of nervousness when competing in big matches.

Is so much at stake" ho said, "and tho nature of tho game such aa the delicate stroke nnd touch required, the death-like stillness prevailing nt big matches, make it most difficult to play. It I gets on your nerves. I nm no ex ception, tint tho walk just before the name -that's the stuff, the really purl of my training."
