A Vcf e For Off-Seoson Practice
WHEN THE SOUTHERN CONFERENCE holds its meeting in
Richmond this December we hope, whatever else it does, that it
does not rule out all off-season practice At the meeting of the
presidents of eonfereffce schools here on Sept. 28 it was unanimously
recommended that off-season practice be forbidden or limited.
This action was taken by a group who sought to find the an
swer to the problem created by "over-emphasized" football that
was depleting treasuries and causing nation-wide scandals. But like
a great many other people who are interested in correcting football,
they aimed a blow at the entire atheitic program and would deny
students the right to practice their sport because football has come
up with a black eye. v
Mr. R. A. (Coach Bob) Fetzer, our own athletic director, is one
of thejmany who feel that there has been a mistake. He feels
strongly that "Football is not athletics. Many people have gotten the
two confused and itf their confusion would work a hardship on the
students and on the so-called minor sports." "
"An Opportunity For The Inexperienced"
COACH BOB DOES NOT hold the view that limiting spring
practice for football (as the South-West Conference does) or elim
inating it altogether would be disasterous to football. "Off-season
practice offers an opportunity for the inexperienced and less talent
ed student to participate in wholesome exercise and to learn the
essentials of the game in which he is especially interested. We have
uncovered quite a number of good athletes in off-season pfactice-r
especially in track, wrestling and other sports in which the essential
fundamentals can be learned by the average student.
"The coach has more time to devote to boys during these prac
tices than he does during the regular season when attention must
be given to the next game on the schedule. This is especially im
portant to the boy who is not a finished athlete, but who is interested
in the game. We are proaS of the fact that a boy who persists can
win a letter if he tries.
Athletics have always been an important part of college life.
Recently football in many places and basketball in a greatly in
creased number of places have been exaggerated and both games
hav suffered. Critics who are snicerely interested in helping the
games have appeared, but there are also others who are thrashing
around aimlessly and taking pot-shot at athletics as a whole without
giving it much thought.
A Lesson In Character
THE OLD DEFENSE OF character-building is now scoffed at
by the cynics who have leveled most of the criticism at sports. But
. the hope of college athletics rest with the men who love it and
know it is a builder of character. "It teaches a man what to expect
in life,' explains Coach Bob. "If he doesn't get knocked down once
r twice and learn to get back up by himself, he'll go .out into the
world expecting a bed of roses? t
We believe athletics and feel they are a natural and desirable
part of the college life. If part of the system needs a little doctoring
administer the patient aid. But because part of athletics is at
present shaky, don't condemn the whole of it and try to banish it
from the campus. '
The Key Tb The Carolina Defense
AN EXPERIENCED OBSERVER WHO saw Maryland trounce
George Washington, 33-6, two weeks ago contends that the Carolina
picture isn't as black as most people think. The Maryland split-T
ground game is aimed at the outside of the. defensive line and the
basic split-T play is the option play with the quarterback running
wide and either passing or running, depending upon how the de
fense plays him.
Carolina is fortunate in having a cracker-jack pair of defensive
ends in George Norris and Lou Darnell Both boys have played
consistently weH and were-responsible for dropping Georgia's Mai
Cook in the end zone for a safety. The Carolina coaches picked
Darnell as the top lineman of the day and the freshman star from
Astoria, Ore., was singled out by South Carolina. coach Rex Enright
for his fine play against the Gamecocks.
