The Old Man And The NC
AN UN-FITTING CLOSE came to one of the best coaching rec
ords m the , nation last Tuesday night when Carl Grey Snay
announced his resignation as head football coach at Carolina. For
26 years as a head tutor he had been at the top of the coachin
roster It's a shanae that he had to w out
been shackled with ill luck from September to November.
,r .?52season yhen his denouncement began, the Old
Man had a brilliant .record. His teams had won 140, lost 57 and tied
14. In the years between 1946 and 1949 he had sent three teams to
bowl games. The nation acclaimed him as one of the best in the
game.
v ffT 1X0X11 final seas 1949,
the Old Man and the NC declined. In that span of time his teams
won but seven games what would be considered good for one
Snavely season The wolves started howling after the 1950 season.
This season it became unbearable. The Old Man stepped down. His
reasons weren't announced, but there's no doubt the glum alums had
something to do with it. Coaching has been Snavely's living for
5 years. A man doesn't treat his livelihood that lightly.

you like his leaving or not, the fact remains that he's gone and the 1
job of hiring a new coach is already moving. Snavely was criticised
greatly during the past three seasons for his coaching, handling
of the boys, running of the team during a game, etc. Perhaps some
complaints were justified. But one thing that can not be taken
away from the Old Man, regardless of his losing streak, was his
fairness on and off the field. He played his cards straight. When
one of his boys needed help Snavely could always be counted on
to lend a helping hand.
Snavely's story is almost one of riches-to-rags. In the Justice
Weiner days he was King CarL but try to remember how many
times he's been called that in the past three years. Back in the late
forties he had men, tempered by war service, playing for him. When
the last of the vets left he was confronted with the problem of
going back to building boys, fresh out of high school, into college
stars. Somewhere in that transition period something missed.
Less We Forget
HFS BEEN TRYING to build those boys into stars during the
past three years but the Carolina teams haven't materialized. Whether
it was his fault, the players' fault, or the assistant coaches fault
will have to be decided in the next season under a new head coach.
Snavely has been offered a position with the Department of
Athletics and Physical Education, but whether he stays is still
to be answered. His love for coaching may send him to another
school. Then again, because of his age, he may stay here. The answer
rests with Snavely himself.
Nothing is more disheartening than seeing a champion going
down. Snavely contributed great records to Carolina in his 10-year
reign as coach. Whether you are sorry to see him go or are in the
group that feels it was time for a change, you must give the Old Man
his credit. His contribution to Carolina has been a great one. Our
sometimes too-short memories shouldn't forget that.

Of Season
Unsatisfied with two Confer
ence wins this week, Carolina's
basketball team will be out to
make it three at Woollen Gym
tonight when it faces Richmond
University.
The shooting begins at 8 o'clock.
The Tar Heels are not taking
Richmond for granted. The Spi
ders reportedly looked surprising
ly strong in a preseason scrim
mage with Duke at Durham and
are listed on some charts as a
loop dark horse.
Coach Frank McGuire will
probably start the same five that
opened Wednesday night's win
over Washington and Lee. That
would place Jack Wallace and
Jerry Vayda at the forwards, Bud
Maddie at center and Vince Gri
maldi and Bob Phillips at the
guards.
Paul Likins, reserve center, ap
pears to be fully recovered from
an illness that kept him out of
the opening game with The Cit
adel. Against Washington and Lee,
Likins showed good form in two
limited appearances. He should be j
ready for full service tonight, j
The Junior Varsity game will S
open at 6 oclock. j

Virginia Military Institute in a j
Southern Conference dual meet.
Carolina, the Conference cham
pions, wil start with a small but
veteran team. Carolina has com
piled a 12-0 record in the past
two meets, and will be looking for
their third straight win.
Coach Ralph Casey will direct
the Tar Heels, taking over the
job from Dick Jamerson who re
signed last summer. Casey has
served as Tar Heel coach on two
previous occasions and formerly
was coach at V.M.I.
The professor of Egypt's Al-
Azhar, oldest existing Moslem j
university, came out against co
eds. Coeducation, they said is
just plain promiscuity, "unsuit
able to the Islamic way of life."
This situation," they contended,
"has turned certain male stu
dents from true scientific activity."

4. Design of a unique five-step distil

ponitrile without trace impurities.
Although most of these problems
involve a great deal of chemical en
gineering, also needed on the design
ing team were mechanical, electrical,
civil, metallurgical and industrial en
gineers. Thus design work at Du Pont
is open to men with many types of
training, and there is abundant op
portunity for all.

check temperature control in the conversion of furfural to furan.
if:
Among the most interesting fields for
engineers at Du Pont is the design of
plants and equipment.
It takes ingenuity of a high order
to translate a small-scale laboratory
operation into all-out commerical
production. Design engineers cannot
always use purchasable equipment
to scale up research findings, even
with considerable adaption. About
blf of the time at Du Pont, entirely
new equipment must be designed be
cause of the novelty of the process
developed by research.
For example, a number of unusual
problems were involved in designing
the equipment and plant for a process
in which hexamethylenediamine, one
of the intermediates for nylon, is
made from furfural, derived from
such agricultural by-products as
corncobs and hulls of cottonseed,
oats and rice.
In this conversion, these steps are involved:

Here are some of the special problems that
were encountered:
1. Design of equipment with close
temperature control for converting fur
fural to furan. The design finally settled
on employs a large number of tubes con
taining a catalyst, with a coolant circu
lated around them. Special sequence
