Year-by-Year:
1950: The departure of Justice from campus coincided with a 20-year drought
in UNC's football fortunes. Snavely, despite all his earlier successes, could not
produce a winning team after the Justice era.
This year's team dropped to a 3-5-2
record as the Heels were shut out three times, an event that occurred just once
during the Justice years...
Carolina began life after Justice with a home opener against N.C. State on Sept. 22.
The season opening game was
normally either the last or next-to-last Saturday in September. Open dates were practically
unheard of, so a ten-game season could usually be completed by the end of November. It was
in the late 1960s and early 1970s when the season started opening earlier in September.
Dick Bunting, who had a key interception in last year's Duke game, provided the
fireworks for UNC, racing 78 yards for the touchdown that proved to be the difference
in a 13-7 Carolina win...Next up was a trip to South Bend, Ind. to face the top-ranked
Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Carolina stayed even with Notre Dame until an Irish
touchdown late in the game gave the home team a 14-7 win. Carolina and Georgia then
played to a 0-0 tie at Athens, Ga. to snap a three-game UNC winning streak against
the Bulldogs. A 13-7 loss to Wake Forest put the Heels at 1-2-1 with William & Mary
coming to town...
UNC took a 40-7 win over the Indians behind three spectacular plays.
unting had an 80-yard TD run, Bob Gantt returned an interception 100 yards for a TD,
and Bud Carson hit Benny Walser with a 75-yard scoring pass. A loss to Tennesse (16-0), a tie
with Maryland (7-7) and a win at South Carolina (14-7) gave UNC a 3-3-2 record going
into the Duke game...The weather for this year's game was perhaps the coldest in the
serie's history. Low temperatures plus a strong wind made for a miserable afternoon for
the Kenan Stadium crowd. The game was scoreless at the half, but Duke broke on top early
in the third quarter. Billy Cox hit Tommy Powers with a 34-yard touchdown pass to give
the Blue Devils a 7-0 lead. Carolina would threaten several times after this, but Duke's
defense held each time for a 7-0 victory. This was Wallace Wade's last game as coach
of the Blue Devils after 16 successful seasons...Carolina traveled to Virginia to end
the season and was blown out by the Cavaliers. UVA topped UNC 44-13 for its first win
over the Heels since 1944. The tradition of ending the season against
the Cavaliers ended this year after 20 consecutive seasons. For roughly the
next 40 years Virginia and Carolina would continue to play each other near the
end of the season...
Center Irv Holdash, a three-year regular who never missed
a game, was named first-team All-America. Holdash probably secured this honor with a
sensational performance in the 14-7 loss to Notre Dame...
ud Wallace's punting (45.6 average) and Billy Hayes' all-around play were other
bright spots for Carolina. Wallace averaged 54.4 yards per punt in the Heels' 14-7
win over South Carolina...
The Heels played the college of William & Mary for the seventh consecutive season,
but would not play them again until 1971, when Lou Holtz brought the Tribe to Chapel Hill...
1951: The Heels opened the season with a win but stumbled to a 2-8 record...
ud Carson ran wild on punt returns in a 21-0 opening-day win over N.C. State.
Carson returned eight punts for 166 yards (20.8 average), including a 74-yard score.
Carolina lost 28-16 to Georgia at home, then got hammered 45-20 at Texas. The Heels
came home and took a 21-6 win over the South Carolina Gamecocks to even their record at
2-2, but that was the last win of the season. Six consecutive losses to end the season
were followed by five straight losses the next year, combining for an 11-game losing
streak, the second longest in UNC history...Frank Leahy brought his Notre Dame team
to Chapel Hill on Nov. 17 for the next to last game of the season, the first time that
Notre Dame had ever played at Kenan Stadium. The Irish were 5-2 and UNC was 2-6. Carolina
kept it close, but the Irish held on for a 12-7 win for Notre Dames's
400th victory in football...Carolina traveled to Durham
to face new coach Bill Murray and the Blue Devils. Duke was 4-4-1 and favored to win.
They did, picking up a 19-7 victory. The Heels led 7-6 in the third quarter, but Duke
scored a TD late in the quarter, then put the game away on a six-yard run late in
the fourth quarter...
Carolina averaged just 7.0 points per game over their last six games.
1952: Early-season games with N.C. State and Georgia were cancelled because of
a polio outbreak on campus, and UNC finished the abbreviated schedule 2-6...
Carolina started the season just like it finished the previous year, with a losing streak.
Texas came to town and took an easy 28-7 win, but it would be three more weeks before
the Heels played again...The nation was in the middle of a polio epedemic, and Chapel
Hill was not immune. Five UNC student-athletes had contracted the disease. University
officials declared that the N.C. State and Georgia games would be cancelled.
Four of the five athletes who had contracted polio were able to return to school that
winter...Carolina resumed its season with a 9-7 loss at home to Wake Forest on Oct. 18,
UNC's third straight loss to the Demon Deacons. Three more losses followed before
the Heels stopped the bleeding with a 27-19 win at South Carolina, a game in which UNC
recovered seven Gamecock fumbles and grabbed one interception. UNC's last win had been
against the Gamecocks, a 21-6 win the previous October...6-2 Duke came to Kenan Stadium,
and Carolina was never in the game. Duke scored on its first four possessions on the
way to a 34-0 victory. The Heels ventured south to Miami (Fla.) and got what they needed,
an easy 34-7 win over the Hurricanes to finish the 2-6 season...
Snavely ended his ten-year, two-term tenure with a 59-35-5 record...
Carolina would turn to George Barclay, its first All-America player, to try to reverse
its football fortunes.
1953: Carolina joined six other schools in leaving the Southern Conference and
became a charter member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The seven original ACC teams
were UNC, N.C. State, Duke, Wake Forest, Maryland, Clemson and South Carolina...
George Barclay went 4-6 in the
first year of his three-year term as head coach...
The Barclay era started on a high note with a 29-7 win over N.C. State at home.
The next Saturday UNC recovered eight fumbles in a 39-0 win over Washington & Lee, followed
by an 18-13 win at Wake Forest. The good times soon ended, as the Heels went on a five-game
losing streak...Jim Tatum's Maryland Terrapins, who would go on to win the National
Championship this year, started the streak with a 26-0 win at Kenan Stadium.
UNC then lost to Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina and Notre Dame before
a 33-7 win
at Virginia put UNC 4-5 heading to Duke...The Blue Devils were 6-2-1 and once again
big favorites. Duke ended up posting a fairly easy 35-20 win that was made possible
by UNC's kicking-game mistakes. Four times the Heels were unable to get off punts, each
time leading to a Duke score...
Carolina recovered a school-record 26 fumbles for the season.
End Will Frye was the first UNC player to earn 1st-team All-ACC honors.
|
1954: Carolina had another average season, going 4-5-1 in Barclay's second year...
The Heels once again got off to a good start with a 20-6 win over N.C. State
that was keyed by four intercepted passes. State
was often the season-opening game from the late 1940's through the end of the 1960's...
The Heels traveled to Tulane for a 7-7 tie, then dropped games to Georgia and Maryland.
Ed Sutton's 77-yard TD run gave UNC a 14-7 win over Wake Forest and put UNC at 2-2-1
at the season's mid-point. Carolina then dropped three of its last five, beating
South Carolina and Virginia while losing to Tennesee, Notre Dame and Duke...
The Blue Devils were 6-2-1 and fighting for an Orange Bowl berth entering the season finale at
Kenan Stadium. There was no stopping the team in dark blue, as the Blue Devils exploded for
a 47-12 win, still the most points Duke has ever scored against Carolina...
This was the first year the ACC had an All-Academic team. Bill Kirkman and Ed Sutton
made the team for UNC...
End Will Frye was Carolina's first first-team All-ACC selection.
1955: Barclay's final team fell to 3-7, giving him an 11-18-1 record in his three
seasons as the head man...
UNC opened at home against No. 3 Oklahoma and played the Sooners tough, dropping a
13-6 decision. The next week Carolina topped N.C. State 25-18 behind Dave Reed's 83-yard
punt return for a touchdown in a game in which the Heels failed to complete a
single pass. The win was the 9th straight over the Wolfpack, the longest winning streak by
either school in the history of the rivalry...Carolina then scored a total of 21 points
in losses to Georgia, Maryland, Wake Forest and Tennessee. The Heels got the tonic
they needed, a date with South Carolina at Norfolk, Va. UNC won 32-14, the sixth win
in the last seven games against USC. A loss to Notre Dame and a win at Virginia put
the Heels at 3-6...Carolina had to wait an extra week to play Duke, as the game was moved
back to the first Saturday in December. The date was changed to accomodate television, as
the game was to be broadcast nationally by NBC. Duke got all the points it would need
on a 35-yard touchdown run by Oliver Rudy in a 6-0 win...
Will Frye once again made first-team ALL-ACC...
After six difficult seasons,
Carolina turned to another former Tar Heel
player to try and turn the program around.
1956: Jim Tatum was a great UNC player in the 1930s and had coached the
Tar Heels during World War II in 1942. He had since been coaching at Maryland,
where he led the Terrapins to the national championship in 1953.
Excitement filled the air around Kenan Stadium. Tar Heel fans looked forward to
a long and prosperous era under Jim Tatum...
The Tatum years started out slowly with four consecutive losses. N.C. State took
a 26-6 win in the opener, State's first win over UNC since 1942. Losses to
Oklahoma, South Carolina and Georgia put the Heels at 0-4 as Tatum prepared to meet
his former team, the Maryland Terrapins...
The Terps had fallen on some hard times since winning the National Championship in 1953,
and Tatum and the Heels took advantage. Carolina took an easy 34-6 at home, then tied
Wake Forest 6-6 at Kenan Stadium the next week. A loss to Tennessee and a win at Virginia
preceded at trip to Notre Dame...Terry Brennan's Fighting Irish were having a rare down
year and were just 1-6 as Carolina came to town. Unfortunately, a weak Notre Dame team beat
an even weaker UNC squad, as the Irish held on for a 21-14 win...
The 2-6-1 Heels played host to a 4-4 Duke squad on a very cold afternoon at
Kenan Stadium. The Blue Devils, quarterbacked by Sonny Jurgenson, led 14-6 at the half
and easily held on for a 21-6 win. For the seventh consecutive season the Blue Devils
would get to ring the Victory Bell...
Guard Jimmy Jones and halfback Ed Sutton both earned first-team All-ACC honors.
Sutton, who later played for the Washington Redskins and the
New York Giants, averaged 6.9 yards per
rush (193 for 1334) for his career (1954-56). This is still the best mark in UNC
history.
1957: Tatum's next team showed marked improvement, posting a 6-4 record...
Another season opening loss to N.C. State, this one by a 7-0 margin,
was followed by a 26-0 win at home over Clemson, the defending ACC champions...
Sixth-ranked Navy then came to Kenan Stadium as a heavy favorite.
efore the game, Tatum boldly predicted a victory
because the Midshipmen threw the ball too much. In the game the Heels intercepted
five Navy passes without attempting one of their own in a 13-7 upset victory.
This was the only game Navy would lose this year.
A 20-13 win
at Miami (Fla.) the next week put the Heels at 3-1, and the excitement was back
in Carolina football...UNC next traveled to Maryland to face the Terrapins in a
game that received huge press attention in the Washington, D.C. area. It was Tatum's
first return trip to College Park, and Queen Elizabeth II was in attendance.
Unfortunately for the Heels, it was the Terps who put on a royal performance, taking
a 21-7 victory...This year, instead of heading east to play Wake Forest, the Heels
headed west to Winston-Salem, N.C.
Wake Forest, founded in 1834 in Wake Forest, N.C., had moved its campus to Winston-Salem
in 1956, and would play its home games at 16,000 seat Bowman Gray Stadium, their location
until Groves Stadium was completed in 1968. The Tar Heels won 14-7 to move to 4-2...
A loss to Tennessee and a win over South Carolina preceded an away game at Duke...
Duke was 6-1-2 and, as usual, favored to beat the Tar Heels. It looked like another
Duke win as the Blue Devils moved to a 13-0 second-quarter lead, but a 49-yard
scoring drive that was capped off by a three-yard Giles Gacca run made it 13-7 Duke
at the half. The Tar Heels took the lead five minutes into the third quarter on a 19-yard
pass from Jack Cummings to Buddy Payne. Phil Blazer's PAT gave the Heels a 14-13 lead,
and an upset now seemed possible. Five minutes later Carolina recovered a fumble on
the Duke 32, and Cummings finished off the short drive with a sneak that made it 21-13.
Duke had one last good scoring chance, but the Heels held as Duke threw an incompletion
on fourth down on the Carolina 14. Seven years of frustration had ended. Carolina fans
rang the Victory Bell long into the night...
The next week Virginia came to Chapel Hill and the Heels were heavy favorites.
However, with their minds still in Durham, Carolina played poorly and dropped a
20-13 decision to the Cavaliers. Nevertheless, UNC had recorded its first winning
season in the 1950s.
1958: This year's squad started slowly but rallied for another 6-4 record...
Hopes were high for this year's squad, but the Heels got off to a bad start.
End Al Goldstein was a 1st-team All-America in 1958
|
For the third year in a row N.C. State topped UNC in the opener, this time 21-14.
Clemson nipped the Heels 26-21 the next week at Death Valley, and suddenly Carolina was
0-2...The Heels then traveled 3,000 miles to turn their season around. Carolina would
face a Southern California squad that had dropped a 20-19
heartbreaker at Michigan the week before.
Tatum took his squad out west several days early so the team could tour Hollywood.
The game was played at night in the L.A.
Coliseum before a crowd of 43,000.
The Trojans took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, but Carolina cut the lead to 7-6
on a 27-yard Wade Smith to Don Coker pass with 11:37 left in the second quarter.
The trip to the "Left Coast" coast must have made Tatum clairvoyant. This was the
first season that teams could go for a two-point conversion attempt. Tatum chose
to do so, and Don Coker rammed into the end zone for an 8-7 lead. There was no
more scoring in the game, and Tatum looked like a genius. The win sparked a
six-game winning streak...
(The game ended too late for the
results to be in any of the Sunday morning newspapers in North Carolina. Dad and
I got up early,
anxious to find out the score before we went to church. We eagerly turned the dial on
the Zenith radio in my
room, but could not find any scores. I told Dad to go ahead and shower, and I'd keep
searching. I finally found out the score, he heard me screaming with joy, then I heard
him screaming back from the shower. It was a happy Sunday morning at my house.)...
Victories over South
Carolina (6-0), Maryland (27-0) and Wake Forest (26-7) at home put UNC over .500 at 4-2.
Carolina headed to Knoxville, Tenn., and a 21-7 win over Tennessee showed how much
progress Tatum's program was making. A 42-0 win at Virginia moved the Heels to 6-2,
and suddenly there was bowl talk in the air in Chapel Hill...
Carolina traveled back to South Bend, Ind. to face Terry Brennan's final Irish squad.
Notre Dame was 4-3 and coming off a tough 29-26 loss at Pittsburgh. The Irish were
in a foul mood, and took it out on the Heels, 34-24. Still, Carolina's hopes for
postseason play were not dead...
There were bowl scouts in Kenan Stadium as the 6-3 Heels faced the 4-5 Blue Devils
before a sellout crowd. Carolina scored late in the first
quarter on a one-yard plunge by fullback
Don Klochak, but Mike McGee blocked the PAT. It stayed 6-0 until late in the third
quarter. Duke recovered a fumble on its 43, and promptly drove 57 yards for a touchdown.
Wray Carlton tied the score on a one-yard plunge, then Carlton made the PAT for a
7-6 Duke lead. Carolina made one serious scoring threat in the fourth quarter but was
stopped by an interception. Suddenly, there was no more bowl talk...
The two-point conversion that beat Southern California was one of a season-record
eight that the Heels converted this year...
Al Goldstein was named first-team All-America.
The outstanding two-way end had 24 receptions for an outstanding 20.4 yards per
reception...
This team was one of three in Carolina history that did not give up a touchdown pass...
The two season-ending losses did little to dampen spirits, as the Tar Heel
program was clearly on the rise.
Little did anyone know that this would be coach Tatum's final season.
1959: Jim Tatum contracted Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in the summer of
1959 and died suddenly on Thursday, July 23, one day after his 46th birthday.
Tatum's death stunned both the UNC community and the entire sport's world...
(I was nine years old and on a family vacation
to New York at the time of Tatum's death.
I clearly remember the look of stunned disbelief on my father's face when he read the news
in the New York Times. It took the entire UNC community a long time to get over this.)...
Jim Hickey, a Tatum assistant coach, was promoted to the top job. Hickey's teams would
not meet with a great deal of success in his eight seasons at the helm, as he produced
only one winning team, the exceptional 1963 squad...
Hickey's first team (5-5) lost its first two games, 20-18 to Clemson and
28-8 at Notre Dame. Carolina came home to
beat N.C. State 20-12 to snap the Pack's three-game winning streak against UNC.
A 19-6 win over South Carolina put UNC at 2-2, but two wins and three losses left the
Heels at 4-5 going into the Duke game at Durham...
Duke was also 4-5 going into the nationally-televised (CBS) game on Thanksgiving Day.
It was supposed to be close, but it wasn't, as Carolina scored on its first three
possessions and rolled to a 50-0 win, the biggest rout in the serie's history.
Milan Wall opened the scoring on a 2-yard run, then big Don Klochak's 1-yard run made
it 14-0 after a quarter. Jack Cummings and Ray Farris both scored on
QB sneaks for a stunning 28-0 halftime lead. What happened next is even more stunning.
The 235-pound Klochak took the second-half kickoff at his own seven and rumbled
93-yards for a TD that finished Duke (and almost Klochak) off. Following Sonny
Folckomer's 3-yard scoring run, George Knox broke free for a 32-yard TD to give UNC a
48-0 lead late in the fourth quarter. Carolina went for two, and Ray Farris carried it
in over the right side of the line for a 50-0 Carolina win.
Mention 50-0 to a serious Tar Heel football fan, and that person will know immediately
what game you are talking about.
One game had erased a season of frustration.
Notable: From a purely winning and losing perspective, the Fifties were
the worst decade to be a Tar Heel football fan. Carolina's 37-57-4 (39.7%) record
was slightly worse than the 41-60 (40.6%) the Heels compiled in the Sixties...
It was during the early 1950s that Andy Griffith recorded the
famous "What It Was Was Football", a folksy, fictional account
of Griffith's accidental first trip to a football game.
Griffith talks of being swept up in a crowd, when suddenly he
saw "this pretty little green cow pasture...and thirty or forty
men come runnin' out of one end of a great, big outhouse."
The person beside him "whopped him on the back and says, 'Buddy, have a drink!' " "I
says, well, I believe I will have another big orange."
Griffith concludes that the object of the game is "to see which
bunchfull of them men can take that pumpkin and run from one end of that
cow pasture to the other without either gettin' knocked down
or steppin' in somethin'."
