Bob Quincy summed up Charlie Justice’s college career quite succinctly. An excerpt is repeated here: The Justice era of 1946-49 was the most exciting in Carolina’s football history. Charlie was the ring- leader of a circus of thrills. He set the pace, but his backing was superb. The Tar Heels operated from the single wing with the kinds of variations that at times resembled the Harlem Globetrotters’pre-game ball-handling act. The four seasons netted 32 victories, seven losses and two deadlocks, plus three major bowl appearances. The 170-pound Justice was one of the nation’s most sought-after players when he enrolled at Carolina. Some called him the hottest property in the history of football at that time. He had been a standout at Asheville’s Lee Edwards High, leading the Maroons to two unbeaten seasons.
