In addition, he will do the punting. Therefore the Irish backfield will contain a freshman, two soph omores, and a junior in what Lea key calls his- "teen-agers." The other sophomore is fullback Neil Worden, a powerful plunger who - leads the team in yards gained with 448. He has average 3.8 yards in 118 carries. The "old man" in the backfield .is quarterback John Mazur. Mazur,-a six two inch, 198 pounder, follows the old Notre Dame tra dition of fine quarterbacking. He is a . fine faker n the T-formation and its variations and a good pass er. He has completed ' 42 .. of 92 passes for 600 yards and five touchdowns. Notre Dame has a team which is at least as dependent on inex . perienced players as Carolina, but it has responded well and has won five of seven games. Leahey, who brought in the huddle formation that. Carolina has adopted, has a new offensive wrinkle this year the I-f orma tion. He has used the formation only a few times in each game, but it has thrown the opposition defense off so well that it has been a consistent long gainer. The Tar Heels are expected to use every new trick they can pro duce to stop tfee Irish and put and end to their own losing streak. In addition, a win would help call off the wolves who are after Coach Snavely. The starting backfield for Caro lina will have four veterans: Frank Wissman at tailback, Dick Wiess at fullback, Bob Gantt at wingback, and Skeet Hesmer at blocking back. Wissman, whose fourth quarter play against Vir ginia last week was very good, will, probably handle most of the offense and is expected to do more passing than Carolina has used in the past weeks. He has bettered Mazur in completion averages with 56 percent average to 45 by - Mazur. Connie Gravitte and Lar ry Parker will do most of the re lief at this position. Wiess, Carolina's top ground gainer with 365 yards and a 4-1 average, will be relieved by sophomore John GaylorcL With George Foti out at blockingback, Van Weatherspoon and Red Pat- BEG STOCK A-2 Leather Jeckele A-3 Leather Jackets , B-15 LeeiBer Jackets . -and Big Stock i Oibe Jackets and .

The sophomore star from, Chicago is probably the most versatile "back on the team and is a line linebacker. - terson will spell Hesmer. Gantt will be relieved by Jackie Cooke, who has played very little this yean Bud Wallace, and Tom Adler, a pair of converted backs who did well at end last week in a new experiment, "will again start at the flanks. Wallace is the team's top receiver with 12 catches go ing for 184 yards and two scores. Adler, who had not played before last week; caught three passes.' The remaining offensive team will have Dalt Ruff in and Tom Higgins at the tackles, Doc Ven ters and Dick Gruver at the guards, and Andy Miketa.at cen ter. Notre Dame's fine line will be lead by. Captain Jim Mutscheller, the vastly underrated right end whose two toucdown passes beat Carolina 14-7, last year. Mutschel ler weighs 197 pounds and an other heavy veteran Chet Ostrow ski, holds down the other end. Bob Toneff, a 20- pcucler who has received considerable All America mention, plays right and 210-pounder Fred Poehler is the left tackle. Virgial Bardash and Tom ' Seamen are the guards and 222 pound Art Hunter is the center. REDUCTION SALE We Have Reduced The se Jackets For ONE WEEK ' ONLY!

The Tar Heels have compiled a season's record of four wins, three losses and a tie. In the Southern Conference standings the Tar Heels have won three matches, lost one and tied one. The game will have an impor tant bearing on the conference race, which finds the Terps, de fending champions, again leading. Duke follows Maryland with only one defeat, while Carolina and State both have a deSsat and a tie. ; STATE CHARGES . RU.BASHCV- T! jk ? v.-.rA ...... -w:,-;-.A7kJ-r 'ASMS; v.

This is the latest of many new gimmicks produced by the Irish coach. In the past he has had the crossed T and double quarterback, now seldom used, and the new huddle formation, adopted by Carolina and almost all other teams in the country. The I-f ormation' has been used sparingly just often enough to throw the opposition and give the fans and writers a thrill.

The quarterback gets the ball from the center,, spins and either hands off or fakes to mates who rush by him to the left and right. Fake runs always preeede passes. Red Smith of the New York Herald-Tribune quoted Leahey as follows:' f pa' A questioner asked Leahey if -critics would say the system had no outside strength. "They would," he answered. "But If you always fake a line thrust first, don't the backersup have to commit them selves at the threatened points, either leaving the middle open or setting up pitchouts?" "I hope so'" Leahey said. STATE CHARGES RUB AS HOY- College 1924 an ANS
