Coach Snavely
Today is visitors day in the North Carolina school of football
King Carl Snavely, professor. For the first time the visitors
Mr. and Mrs. Fan will have a chance to see the Tar Heel grid
iron performers in action, led by the Silver Fox prize pupil
Charlie The Choo-Choo Justice.
The professor better recognized by the title of
Coach is one of the finest football teachers in the
country today, holding a na,tion-wide reputation in his
field. He is this date starting on his second year
as coach of the Tar Heels in the new regime, having
gone to Cornell after a two-year stretch of coach
ing in 1934-35.
Last year, the first season in the sojourn toward
top-notch football, saw Snavely produce a team that
won five games and lost a like number. During the
coming campaign all eyes will be focused on the
Carolina grid master, and his students of the game,
for on paper they have great potentialities which
could develop into one of the best, or an "also played"
club.
First Exam Virginia Tech
Virginia Tech will make up the first examination, and the outcome is
something that the teacher himself could not predict. The Virginia Engi
neers are reputedly good, and they could turn into real trouble for the Tar
Heels easily. Naturally, this will have to be left up to the future, but Jus
tice should make the difference and give Carolina a victory, by at least
two touchdowns.
Following the opener with VPI, Carolina will continue with one of its
toughest seasons in history. Teacher Snavely won 15 games and lost two
with the Tar Heel class in 1934 and 1935 (and tied one) and before his
five-year contract runs out the man who makes football his business will
undoubtedly have a real winning team.
Quoting the Fox himself, "it will take time to build a good team" and
"this is not necessarily the big year." It may take still another season
before a good constant machine is produced.
Could Be Good Season ,
However, if this year's team measures up to the possibilities, it could
well be a red-letter year. There is a wealth of material, some freshman,
some veteran, and its development will tell the story. Miami, Maryland,
Navy, Florida, Tennessee, William and Mary, Wake Forest, Duke and
Virginia will bettough, but Carolina, with a team much superior to last
year's not-too-bad combine, will make a good showing and win a lot of
ball games and Beat Dook, we hope.
Notes of varied source:
Following the paths of some of the Tar Heel gridders of last season we
find Bill Voris, co-captain back, now" doing his gridironics for the Univer
sity of Southern California, and according to the recent Football Illustrated
magazine, Voris is attracting attention in the camp of the. Trojans. . . .
Ed Golding, an outstanding guard for Carolina in 1944 and 1945, is listed
on the roster of the Naval academy, and reports reaching here say that
Golding has been running on the second and third teams for. the Middies.
Another former Tar Heel at Navy Bill Pritchard is nursing a broken
leg suffered in a recent practice session. Pritchard, who was also running
on the second and third strings, will be out for the rest of the Reason.
Watch out for the cross country team of Coach Dale Ranson this fall.
He has several of his former stars back with him, including Julian Mc
Kenzie, who ran a 4:18 mile in the IC4A meet in Philadelphia while partici
pating as a Tar Heel. Other top-notch runners are also listed, another
being Bob Dodson, a standout last year.

Jay vees Prep
For Navy Tilt
At Annapolis
Little To Start
As Head Mentor
While their highly-publicized varsity
brethren are rolling against a tough
Miami University eleven on Oct. 4
at Miami, the 1946 edition of the Tar
Heel junior varsity squad is quietly
laying plans to do a little fancy step
ping on its own against the Navy "B"
squad that same weekend at Anna
polis.
Because of the close relationship be
tween the varsity and jayvee squads
here, the coaching staff has not named
any definite members of the junior
squad. It is possible under Coach
Snavely's system for a man to be a
jayvee one day and a regular varsity
member the following day.
Coach Crowell Little has been
named head mentor of the junior
squad. He also serves as one of the
backfield coaches for the varsity
eleven.
Assisting Little with the Jayvees
eleven are two new coaches, Tuck
McConnell, and Toby Webb, who are
expected to assume the entire coaching
burden after the junior varsity sche
dule gets under way. ;
McConnell was formerly coach at
Wofford College and Spartanburg
High School. He played at Davidson
College and Geneva College, before
beginning his coaching career.
Webb -is -assuming coaching duties
for the first time this year. He
played as a member of the Carolina
varsity from 1939-1942.

Blue Devils to Open

Coach Wallace Wade will, take, the
wraps off Duke's loaded Blue Devils
tonight against an aerial-minded
State Wolfpack band at Raleigh, and
when the smoke of battle clears, state
football fans should have a fairly
clear picture of the local gridiron pow
ers.
Duke supporters have made it clear
that they expect no pushover in the
tussle with the Walfpack tonight.
Coach Wade has termed tonight's con
test the "toughest opening game in
our gridiron history."
State will pit its halfback speed
ster Howard Turner against the of
fensive operations of George Clark,
Buddy Luper, and Leo Long, three of
the main cogs in the Blue Devils

Much of the gridiron success of
Carolina's J u st i c e and Company
against the Virginia Tech Gobblers
today depends upon the performance
of the forward wall, three of whom
are pictured above. The two line
men in the upper cuts are (left to
right): Ralph Strayhorn, starting
left guard, and Ted Hazelwood,
starting right tackle. The rugged
lineman pictured in the lower left
cut is Max Sparger, who is expect
ed to receive the nod for the right
end assignment.
