Page Two THE TAR HEEL Thursday, August 25, 192T PREDICT ONE OF BEST FOOTBALL SEASONS IN THE HISTtiRYOFU.N.C. Success of New Coaching Slaff Is Expected to be Revealed This Year With a Large Num ber of Letter Men Returning Plenty of Seasoned Material Is Available. Last year with three letter men back in the line, no out standing backfield prospects, and very little in the way of good material coming up from the freshman team, the Univer sity of North Carolina coaches built up a team, which, by mid seeason, was attracting the at tention of" football followers throughout the South and this, in spite of the fact that a new system had been installed. Reviewing the prospects for the coming season and compar ing them with conditions pre vailing at the same time last year, even the most pessimistic will grant that things look con siderably better for the Tar Heel eleven. Eighteen letter men are among the eligible can didateseight in the line and ten in the backfield men who have had at least one year's ex ' perience under the new regime. If Collins, Cerney, Fetzer and Ashmore, the University quar bunchi of raw recruits into a team that ran rough-shod over V. M. "I., licked South Carolina, and, after the first two games, gained more ground than any of their opponents, what kind of team will they build with a nu cleus of 18 veterans? All this looks very well on paper, but , University ofiicials are not given to pre-season optimism and are keeping quiet on the matter of prospects, leav ing the dopesters to figure the situation out as they please from the figures and facts at their dis posal. Practice begins September 5, and reports from University athletes scattered all over .the state for the summer indicate that they are keeping in good trim and are anxiously await ing the chance to settle an old score with Wake Forest, result ing from two successive de feats, when the two teams meet for the first game of the season at Chapel Hill on September 25. Next on the list comes Tenn essee and here is where the op timism begins to dim. Tennes see, which last year overwhelm ed the Tar Heels and rated with the best teams in ' the South, promises to offer plenty of op position with Elmore, Dodson, Young and Barnhill in the back field. Only Captain Harkness, quarterback 'and Jones, end, were lost to the team. And so, down the line, every opponent is , boasting bright prospects and looking forward to a successful season. . v Tennessee will be met at Chapel Hill October 1. Other games to be played on the "Hill" will be against Maryland, Oct ober 8, Davidson, November 12, and Virginia, November 24. South Carolina wlil be met at Columbia, October 15, Georgia Tech in Atlanta, October 29, N. C. State at Raleigh, October 29, V. M.
