another football team.

Faced with the toughest sched
ule since he arrived at the Uni
versity of North Carolina, Coach
Kay Wolf and his Tar lleels will
have little rest. Hut with an im
proved running attack and more
reserve puucr?than last year.
The Wolf feels optimistic. at
least about the Wake Forest tilt,
because Zodiac has said he
would win.
WAKE FORESTS POLANSKI
LOOKS LIKE A REPEATER
Jolting John Polanski, the 210
pound Wake Forest backfield star
who led the nation m ground gained
rushing and scored more points in
major college competition last year
than any other individual as a soph
omore. tallied three six-pointers
against William Jewell College last
Saturday to take scoring honors for
the day.
PICKING THE
WINNERS . . .
Ami Here's Ho pin'
Now that the -Fall" of the year
has arrived, we-Predict with no ex
ceptions the ' faii^ of all football ex
perts and also the Mfall" of many
of the nation's leading teams. Foot
bail is a peculiar game and brings
out a peculiar way of picking the
winners. Two most unusual bets are
held by one fellow on the Carolina
Wake Forest game Saturday. He
was given Carolina and seven points
by one person, while another gave
him Wake Forest and 14 points.
Sounds like somebody is in for a
bad week-end.
However, the following is a per
sonal opinion of how the games
will stack up and why. and if we
miss over half, don't tell anybody?
you can do the guessing next week:
Navy-William and Mary?Take the
Navy, but it seems impossible that
W and M is as lousy as they were
last Friday
Well. Carolina, Yes!
North Carolina-Wake Forest ? If
the Tar Heels score early, it may
even be another rout.
Duke-V. M. I.?The powerful Dev
ils are not even expected to. hit high
gear here.
N. C. State-Davidson?After last
week-end, it will have to be State.
Boston College-Tulane?A power
in the East is no comparison with a
power in the South. Tulane.
Ohio State-Pitt?Pitt lost its great
football when it lost its "aid to de
pendent players".
Michigan-California?After eating
"free" popcorn at the Soda Shop,
Michigan.
Washington-Minnesota?Two pow
erhouses with the Huskies holding
a slight edge.
Oklahoma A. and M.-Texas Tech?
Without much ado, the Aggies.
Mississippi-Louisiana State ? Not
rrfuch to choose from, so we'll stick
with the Bayou Tigers.
Mississippi State-Florida?State.
Texas-Colorado ? Another head
ache. Texas.
Southern Methodist-U.C.L.A.? In
?i quick manner, S. M. U.
Texas Christian-Centenary ? The
Horned Frogs start off with an im
Blocks for Deacon Polanski
A very important cog in the
Wake Forest football machine,
although probably got as well
known as other stars, is Captain
Jimmy Ringgold, blocking back.
Ringgold was honored last sea
son when he was selected as the
best blocking back in the South
ern Conference. And he is ex
pected to clear the way for Po
lanski Saturday against the Tar
Heels.
proved team. T.C.U.
Washington State-Southern Cali
fornia?To the Rose Bowl winners.
Oregon State-Idaho?State.
Vanderbilt-Washington and Lee?
Vandy.
Marshall-V. P. I.?Marshall, but
only after a bitter struggle.
Coach Wade Has
"Very Tough Job"
Coach Wallace Wade and his aides
are having a very tough time up at
Duke University trying to figure
out what players should be placed
on the first team.
After all said and done the team
of Blue Devils which drew special
praise from Coach Wade is as fol
lows:
Darnell and Piasecky at ends:
Winterson and Karmazin, tackles.
Lipscomb and Nania. guards, and
Barnett at center. In the backfield
Prothro, McAfee, Killian and Davis
were named.
But then, there is not enough dif
ference in the next eleven to argue
about?so what?
?
VERY SUPERSTITIOUS!
Lexington. Ky.?Ab Kirwan, Uni
versity of Kentucky head football
coach, has two superstitions. He
wears an old, battered white felt
hat on the day of every football
game, and he refuses to eat dinner
after his team has won.
The latter peculiarity would make
it mighty tough for coaches of some
teams in the United States.
PRETTY GOOD ? ?
If you don't think that N C. State
victory was one of the biggest sur
prises of the year, ask any old faith
ful Wolfpack follower.
