It will be the season's opener for Jim Hickey's third Carolina production. For State it will be the second showing and a chance for its first victory. A week ago in the cold of Wyoming the Wolfpack dropped a 15-14 thriller after once leading, 14-0.

What happens at Clemson and Chapel Hill this afternoon would make the title fight an uphill one for the losers. What happens at Richmond and Winston-Salem will be of importance in the race, too, but there preleaders are not facing each other. season State has been established as one of the favorites. is in a strange role of not being favored in Carolina ratings.

Yet the Tar Heels should have the pre-season and excellent chance of beating the Wolfpack. Both Maryland and Clemson held high places the pre-season rating and their meeting thus in is of extra significance. It would surprise no one if one of the two finished the season as champion. Duke, also rated highly and the defending chamfigured to get off to a 3-0 lead in defense of pion, was its title because the first three opponents were those generally consigned to the last three places in the standings. That figuring such as this can be risky shown at Columbia last week when the Blue was Devils needed to get a touchdown and extra point in the last two minutes of play for a 7-6 decision over the Gamecocks.

South Carolina plays at Wake Forest and this one does not carry many title implications. It does, however, afford an opportunity to note whether the Gamecocks are as strong as their Duke game indicated and whether the Deacons are headed for as much trouble as their 31-0 loss at Baylor might indicate. Each Figured to Be Stronger The Big Four battle at Chapel Hill should be another close one. A year ago the Tar Heels gained ground, but the Wolfpack got the points and won. It was a big victory, for State then went on to come within one point of tying Duke for the championship.

The frustrations of the State game continued for most of the season for the Tar Heels. They gained ground but made mistakes that hurt. Now each of the two figures to be stronger. The Tar Heels have an experienced team. Certainly there should be a reduction in the mistakes.

State figured to be stronger, too, but aL run of injuries at the weakest position on the team showed up in the opener against Wyoming last week. There were some defensive deficiencies at places that were strong a year Thus there has to be reservation about whether State is stronger. It figured to have more punch on offense, but this is of little use if you allow the other fellow to control the ball most of the time. That is what Wyoming did after State assumed a 14-0 lead Obviously Carolina has been waiting eagerly the chance to atone for the scoring opportunities wasted against State a year ago. The Tar Heels should be keyed up for an inspired performance.

It could be rough day for the Wolfpack. Cavaliers No Longer Patsies Duke had a close call in its opener at. South Carolina and may be thankful for it this afternoon. The Blue Devils should be more alert to the possibility Virginia could extend them to the limit and possibly beat them, The Virginia victory over William and Mary also should have warned the Duke boys that this is a team unlike the one that lost 28 straight. The improvement made already at Charlottesville indicates that weak spot in the conference has been eliminated.

For two years the Duke players heard all about the fact Virginia had not won a football game since it defeated the Blue Devils in the secend game of the 1958 season. That indignity was kept alive by the losing streak and perhaps it has served to have Duke put more emphasis on the game. Dick Voris was in his first season as head coach of Virginia then. In the opener the Cavaliers almost defeated a strong Clemson team. The next week they stopped Duke.

Al Michaels, who is in charge of defense at State, then had the assignment of figuring out how to stop the Virginia attack that featured the passing of Reece Whitley and the receiving of Sonny Randle. Michaels found the answer. State defeated the Cavaliers the next week and they did not win again until last Saturday. pre-season favorites for the Atlantic Coast championship, while Carolina generally was tagged as the dark horse contender. This reverses the roles of a year ago when the Wolfpack made good its only scoring chance for a 3-0 victory.

Carolina has many lettermen back from that team, and they remember vividly how they muffed scoring chances against the Wolfpack. Minimizing errors has been the chief objective of the four weeks of practice for the Tar Heels. season Ray Farris of Charlotte, a quarterback who likes to run and who can do so effectively, heads the Tar Heel attack. His strongest support from Bob Elliott and Joe Davies, a first three times it had the ball and breezed to a 31-0 triumph. The Gamecocks will be playing their second game under new (head coach Marvin Bass, former.

ly of Georgia Tech. Bass seems to have injected new enthusiasm into the team and the spirit was evident in the close loss to Duke. Physically, South Carolina is well-fortified up front but lacks size at the halfbacks. Their best runner, though, may be Billy Gambrell, a 175-pounder at lefthalf. Henry, Crosby (150) is the starting right-half while Dicky Day (190) will be at fullback and Jim Costen (180), a pretty good passer, at quarterback.

Game Honors Shepard ANNAPOLIS, Md. (P) Navy will tackle William aud Mary here Saturday in a homecoming program honoring Alan B. Shepard, America's first spaceman and a member of the Naval Academy Class of 1945. The Middies are solid favorites to rack up their first victory of the new season after dropping a 20-10 decision to Penn State in their opener a week ago. William and Mary has lost to Virginia and Virginia Tech.

Shepard has already informed the Academy that he will be unable to attend the weekend festivities but some 16,000 fans are expected to watch the two teams battle in the Navy-Marine Corps Stadium here. Navy Coach Wayne Hardin indicated he will make some alterations in his three-unit system of a two-way and offensive and defense squads.

The breakaway threat from the halfback position that has been sought for several seasons may be answered by Jimmy Addison, a Durham speedster who has been very impressive in recent workouts. State Has Gabriel. This attack will have to offset the known striking power State has represented by the throwing arm of Roman Gabriel. The big quarterback was restricted to only seven passes a year ago because the, Tar Heel defense kept the Pack on its side of the field for most of the game. There is only mild hope here that can be repeated.

Casey to Return To Game as Boss Of New NL Club NEW YORK (AP)-Casey Sten-; gel, fired last year by the New York Yankees because he was too old, returned to baseball Friday at the age of 71 as manager of the New York Mets of the National League. Stengel finally agreed to come back for at least one year in an' early morning telephone sation with his old boss, George Weiss, president of the Mets whom the Yanks retired last fall at the age of 65. Stengel was home in Glendale, where he spent the past year writing his memoirs and tending to his banking business. No salary terms were announced, as usual.

Maris now has two games remaining in which to get the homer that would make him the only player in major league baseball history to hit more home runs in one season than Babe Ruth.

"Casey wanted a one year tract," Weiss said at a news conference in the Mets' office. "He told me, 'If I like it and you want me, we will have no diffi" culties after Weiss said he hoped Stengel would be in New York Monday for a meeting with the scouts to go over the lists of players that vill be made available by the other National League clubs.

The actual selection will be made by the New York team and the new Houston team the day after the World Series ends. "Casey is an ideal man to handle the type of team we will inherit," said Weiss. "There are bound to be older men on the way out. We don't expect too many budding (Mickey) Mantles in this grab bag. You've got to have a fellow they can respect and look up to." The return of Stengel reunited the old team that was so successful with the Yanks where Stengel, working under Weiss, won 10 pennants in 12 years and seven World Series.

They have been friends since the 1920s when Weiss operated the New Haven club of the old Eastern League and Stengel managed Worcester, Mass, Both were put out to pasture by the Yankees after the 1960 Worla Series defeat by Pittsburgh. Weiss obviously had Stengel in mind from the day he decided to come out of retirement and take a job running the Mets. He visited Stengel in California in July before the first All-Star game and told the grizzled old veteran he could have the job, "I called Casey Sunday night," said Weiss. "I 'Casey, Wei can't wait any said he'd give me an answer in 48 hours. He finally called here this morning at 10 o'clock that would have been 6 a.m.

in California, and said yes." Weiss said the matter of coaches was entirely up to Stengel although he had some in mind. He wouldn't say whether Cookie Lavasetto and Chuck Dressen were among them. Lavagetto was fired as the Minnesota Twins manager in midsummer and Dressen was dropped as Milwaukee boss last month. Palmer, Worsham Nip Souchak, Patton, 2-1 By MAC McGREW. WINSTON-SALEM Arnold Palmer and Lew Worsham won a 2 and 1 verdict over Mike Souchak and Billy Joe Patton here Friday in an exhibition to raise money for the Buddy Worsham Memorial Scholarship Fund at Wake Forest College.

Worsham, older brother of the late Buddy Worsham, stroked in a 20-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole to close up shop on the Roger Moore it thinks can equal any pair. The halfback positions are manned by veteran Al Taylor and sophomore Mike Clark, with soph Tony Koszarsky ready to ramble if sprung from the line of scrimmage. In losing to Wyoming the Wolfpack exposed a defensive weakness on the rig' side of its line. This was due in a large measure to the fact incorrect defensive signals were called from time to time. Hickey does not anticipate that weakness to show up here.

Corrective measures, he is certain, have been taken in the State camp. Neither does he xepect to be gifted by two bad snaps from center that had a lot to do with the defeat at Wyoming. The Carolina coach is not certain just how strong his team is this season and awaits the game to provide some of the answers. He has been pleased with the team's development in the practice work. Both sides will miss some personnel because of injuries.

Tackle John Hegerty is a question mark for the Tar Heels. State will be without wingback Carson Bosher, who was expected to be a standout in his sophomore season. In the series, that began in 1904, Carolina 35 victories to State's nine. games resulted sika in ties. EARLE EDWARDS Of State.

Duke Tests Virginia Blue Devils In ACC Play At Richmond By GRADY ELMORE. RICHMOND, Va. Duke's de fending champions provide the Atlantic Coast Conference christening for new Coach Bill Elias' nowdashing Virginia Cavaliers today, at 12:30 p.m. (EST) at Richmond City Stadium. Virginia made this Tobacco Festival meeting an attraction with an opening success 21-6 over William and Mary last week that ended college football's longest losing streak at 28 games.

The manner in which the Cavaliers returned to winning ways in that game has added weight to early sentiments by Duke's Bill Murray picking Virginia as a darkhorse, or surprise team in the ACC this season. Duke's late comback to nip another aroused outfit, South Carolina, by 7-6 last weekend and Virginia's triumph turned this contest into the only matching of undefeated teams on today's ACC I schedule. Elias, coach of the year in the Southern Conference at George Washington last year, brings a club that is bigger than Duke and matches it in experience (26 each). There doubtless enthusiasm lettermen, among the Cavaliers, too, stemming from the first taste of vietory in more than two and a half seasons. Virginia's last win prior to last weekend, and its last in ACC petition, came in a 15-12 upset of Duke back in 1958.

Only one member of the current team, end Dave Graham, played in that game or enjoyed a victory in his college varsity career prior to last weekend. That was the last time Duke and Virginia met. Duke didn't contribute to the 0-10 records of the past two seasons' Cavalier clubs. In whipping William and Mary a week ago Virginia played a highly conservative game, only using five plays, but it managed to impress future foes in the process. Its defense held William and Mary to only seven yards rushing for the game, and only an 88.

yard runback of a pass oion enabled the Indians score in the final quarter. Virginia used three complete units in the game, playing all three before halftime. Virginia's first two lines will outweigh Duke's, the No. 1 wall holding an advantage of 214 to 199-pound average. The No.

2 Cavalier line averages a about 206 pounds to Duke's alternate unit's 200. "I question whether we are powerful enough for Duke," Elias says. "They are a very fine footbail team. But we're planning to beat Duke is sparked by a group of terrific halfbacks but also will turn loose other standout backfield and line performers against Virginia. Fullback Red Burch, listed on the No.

2 or alternate unit last week, scored the touchdown that brought Duke its win over South Carolina and also was the leading rusher with an average of 7.83 yards for six carries. Probable starters for Duke are ends Pete Widener and Dave Unser, tackles Art Gregory and Dick Havens, guards Johnny Markas and Jean Berry, center Paul Bengel, quarterback Walt Rappold, halfbacks Dean Wright and Mark Leggett, and fullback John Tinnell. The alternate unit includes ends Stan Crisson and Zo Potts, tackles Dave Condon and Fred McCollum, guards Gene Kendall and Dalton, center Ken Williams, quarterback Gil Garner, Dave, halfbacks Joel Arrington and Jack Wilson, and Burch at fullback. Virginia is likely to counter with this starting lineup: ends Myron McWilliams and Park Plank, tac. kles Bill Kanto and Ronald Gassort, guards Louis Martig and Turnley Todd, center Bill Lang.

quarterback Stan Fischer, halfbacks Robert Freeman and Carl Kuhn, and fullback Tom Griggs. Elias Hopes Virginia Has Built Confidence RICHMOND, Va. When the subject of the Duke-Virginia game here Saturday afternoon came up in hotel lobbies or street corners on the eve of the contest, Virginians made such comments as: "That probably will be quite For an institution that has won only once in its last 29 games, Virginia has aroused quite a bit of enthusiasm, it appears here. The fact the Cavaliers have a 1-0 record this season and a promising new coach, Bill Elias, appears to have all but erased memories of the long losing streak of the past several years. There also is the fact Virginia has won two of its last 30 games, land that Atlantic other Coast victory Conference, last in back in 1958 was a 15-12 upset of Duke.

That is remembered in both Duke and Virginia circles. So while Virginia is well aware of Duke's highly-touted players and its position as defending ACC champion and a co-favorite again, there also is plenty of respect hereabouts ofr the Cavaliers. "My job this week has been to try to give our boys confidence enough to think they can beat Duke," Elias said. "I hope I've succeeded." Duke Coach Bill Murray carried his boys to a movie Friday night following light workout upon arrival and then supper. It was entitled "Scream of Fear," and was billed as a "shock" picture.

Murray no doubt hopes that doesn't prove appropriate to Saturday's developments. The players picked out the Virginia displayed all the defense hoped for in defeating William and Mary (21-6) in its opener last week, holding its foe to a total of seven yards gained See VIRGINIA Page 13.
