Johnny Henderson Prospects are bright this year for .another championship cross-country "team. TTKe 1928 runners will have to travel at a last clip, however; if they hope to equal .the .enviable record of, last year's team. Though it was pitted against the best that the South had to offer, the 1927 team was un defeated. In addition to winning every dual meet during the season it won .the state and southern champion ship meets.. Only three men were Jost from last . year's team: , Captain Elliott, lloyt - Pritchett, and Phil Gallagher. Elliott and Pritchett last year completed three , years of var sity .competition undefeated ' during which .time they entered three state championship and two southern championship meets. Gallagher, a sophomore last .year, showed ;great promise for this year but he has not .yet j-etumed to school. Competing in his first conference title meet last fall, :he finished in eighth position. Six lettermen and five non-letter- men form, the nucleus of this year's team. Johnny Henderson, captain, J. YFisherr Minor Barclay, Brown, Cox, and Wienn are the lettermen. Lowry, Summers, James, Bay, .and Rhine hardt were on the squad last year and should le of great aid in winning meets this fall. " In addition' to these men, eleven of the cross country runners on last .year's freshman squad will be avail able. Only Captain Ed Ferrell and . DeRossett did not return. Those ! coming up from the frosh are : Car bine, Baucom, R. B. Fisher, C. IL Fisher, Crane, Hatem Atkins, Med ford, Cohen, Long, and Kincaid.

Last . season Henderson was a star at the two mile distance, setting the southern record in a dual meet with Duke. An injury suffered a week after his record breaking run kept Johnny from further competition In the southern conference champion ship meet last fall Henderson ran second to Elliott who was undefeat ed for three 'years. Very great hon or was given : Johnny last season when he waa selected to captain the two teams this season. INJURIES BRING NEW PROBLEMS TO CAROLINA FOOTBALL MENTORS -o- A crop of injuries some( of minor importance has left the football situation at the University in a , somewhat unsettled condition, with the Wake Forest game .just one -week. away. . : ; ' The probable eleven to face the ; Deacons in Kenan Memorial Stadium here next Saturday afternoon at 3 ojclock had begun to take form early last week, when a. number of the jnost promising candidates hit the growing hospital list. Sam Presson, veteran right "end, was the first to go the way of the injured, and the plucky little flank man is out for the season. As if :that were not enough, Julian Fenner suffered an injury to his shoulder just when he was slated to step into Presson's boots on the right flank, and the coaches have shifted Don .Holt over f rom the.other end of the line to fill the bill. Others who begin the final week of pre-season training' with hurts that may hinder their facing the Deacons "are Gresham, halfback, and Farris' and Howard, tackles. All three are lettermen, and Farris and How ard were doped as the regular tack les in that opening game. All three may recover in - time to play, but their effectiveness will be impaired, With these posts vacated per haps temporarily the. University mentors must cast around in search for another pair of tackles and an other left halfback. Fortunately there is a fair supply of backs, but the crying need now is for tackles to furnish capable reserve strength A returning traveler states that 90 per cent of Turkish men loaf while all the women work.
