game slate, which includes Duke,
powerhouse of the Southern Con
ference, and a trip to always
strong Penn and. Penn' State

men coming up from last ' year's
squad, plus about 16 new men
comprising a 32-man squad which
started practice Saturday. Fresh

Tar Heel Gridders Play 'Switch' Games;
Secret Scrimmages Make For Confusion

Kieran used to on "Information
Please". He really knows all the
answers. "Some day that boy will
be a star here," says Line Coach
Jim Gill. His dad, also a smart
cookie, was a Tar Heel star in
the early twenties.
Tom Higgins was riding the crest;
then one afternoon he found him-1
self on the fourth team.; Benny

Tailbacks: On Monday Billy
Williams is the bright boy; on a
Tuesday Frank Wissman has turn

predicted to be a sure starter; on
a Wednesday, Lou Britt has mov

Parker runs and passes in a way
to cause some eyebrows to lift; id
a Friday, Ernie Liberati does
some fancy galloping; and on a
Saturday, Bud Carson runs so
well that sideliners figure he ought
to stay on offense. '
-That's not the-literal story, but
it gives you an idea. They rise
and fall, come and go, and right
now no one can be sure who will
be the Tar Heel regulars when the
season is in full swing.
Scrimmage Confusion
The Tar Heels have been ex
scrimmages with outside teams.
The business has developed the
usual confusion. What to write
about them, if anything? Even
the coaches haven't been sure of
the best policy.
Newsmen who have stayed
away, in several r instances; have
had the jump oh their "brethren
who showed up and were admit
ted inside the portals. The latter,
usually, are requested ; not to
spread the news around about
what happened. The stay-at-
homes, bound by no , confidences,
get the word from the alumni who
saw the show, . ajid. give., their
readers the, lowdown. " ".. ,
; Perhaps it's not too important,
one way or ;the other. The scrim
mages are pseudo games at best,
and they definitely do not count
in the standings. However, be
fore another Autumn rolls around,
publicists and coaches ought to
work- out something sensible in
connection with their conduct.
Unless they come to be frown
ed on iii the-ivory tower, the out
side team scrimmages appear to
be here' to stay. They have been
helpful to the Tar Heels and they
doubtless are helpful to all
teams which hold them. Squad
canot bring out the sometimes aw
ful truth.
Little Gridiiems
Baseball clubs, have utility men,
and the' Carolina football squad
definitely has one of the highest
order. He is senior Julian King,
who plays tackle and guard on
both offense and defense, always
ready to be called on when a fel

SIX STALEMATES
There have been more ties in
the football series between Caro
lina and N. C. State than anv
other current football series on
the Tar. Heel's 1951 schedule. Six
Wolf pack-Tar Hell scraps have
ended in stalemates. The Tar
Heels have won 30, State 5. The
seriesdates back to 1895 when
the rTar Heels defeated North

Cagey Carl Snavely Has One
Of Top Coaching C
That cagey old -man of the sin

assembled what is' believed here
to be one of the finest young
coaching . staffs in the country
And five of his seven assistants
learned their basic. football under
the scholarly "Grey Fox."
Daily on Navy Field the 1951
veterans and rookie hopefuls are
going through the identical painstakingly-thorough
drills" on fun
damentals and techniques that
their coaches learned on the same
practice square a few years back.
Jim Camp, Snavely's backf ield
mentor who is considered by
many as; one of the brightest
young mentors in the business,
was a lightweight wingback for
the Tar Heels a few years back.
The likeable Virginian, the Tar
Heels' leading ground gainer in
the 1947 Sugar Bowl scrap, took
a post" graduate course with the
professional Brooklyn Dodgers
and returned to his alma mater
two years ago.
Walt Pupa, Bob Cox .and Charlie
Justice.
Pupa was one of the Tar Heels'
finest backs during the colorful
postwar interim. As a hard-hit
ting fullback, he was one of the
squad's sharpest passers and most
devastating runners.
Cox, presently working with
the blocking backs, was a handy
man at end. A workhorse who
was a fireball at catching short
passes, he also was distinguished
as a place kicker.
The newest addition to the staff
is Charlie Justice. As a triple
threat tailback, he was an out
standing All-America player. Af
ter a successful fling at profes
sional football, Choo Choo is back
with his old coach and Snavely
is making good use of his 10 years
of playing experience and know-
how.

year of coaching. He was fresh-,
