Koppel Carolina will open its 54th season of intercollegiate football next Saturday afternoon in Atlanta by meeting the Yellow Jackets from Georgia Tech in a gridiron contest which perhaps will top the nation's second official week of 1943 football'. ' " . r 'i . - v;,- With both teams made up almost entirely of members of the V-12 units stationed at . the schools, the, cheering section will be composed mostly! oZ future marine leaders in their khaki and future naval officers in their whites. To add to the novelty of the occasion two members of the war-time edition of the Tar Heel eleven will be facing two of their last-year-teammates when the Carolina and Engineer teams meet. Bernie Rohling, probable starter at fullback for the Tar Heels and Fred Hamilton, strong candidate for right tackle post, may be forced to brush their weight against former playmates at Vanderbilt Ritter, one of Tech's strong passing threats, and Charley Hoover, big and impressive probable starting center for the Georgia outfit. The game will be the 12th between the two rivals who have not met since 1935, but whose rivalry was keen and close in the late '20's and the early '30's. The Ramblin' Wreck of 1928, which won the Rose Bowl classic, beat the Tar Heels 20-7 only after the bitterest struggle. The next year, Caro lina's "team of a hundred backs" repaid the compliment, 18-7, handing the Golden Tornado the first defeat after its national championship in 1928. After those two famous contests, the arch-rivals tied themselves up, 6-6 and 19-19 during the two following years. Tech won in 1932 and 1933, while Carolina was victorious in 1934 and '35, so the series is even for the last eight games. Tech, however, won the first three Tar Heel contests in a row during 1915, 1916 and 1927, which puts the Ramblin' Wreck ahead in the all-time series with six wins, two ties and three losses. The Southeastern Conference leaders, who began drills two months before the Tar Heels, and who will have the advantage of playing at home with a full squad, are odds-on favorites, but the Blue and White squad is working against time to score a creditable showing and, if possible, an upset. s. .-TOv:5; 1 aijrgiiftwnivfUfnaTiVbi-hitift 'm .111111 mi f 'ffr . ..v. Illllill : -XvX;X.: :-v.-: y.-:-- yy : x x-x-x-Xv HEAD COACH TOM YOUNG and Line Coach Grady Pritchard who will present a war-time edition of Tar Heel football to the nation wljen Carolina meets Georgia Tech this Saturday. Coach Tom Young's first collegiate contest as head coach will probably feature a starting line-up strong at the line posts, but weak in the passing and punting assignments. The starting team will probably include Ray Poole and Barney Poole, brothers from Ole Miss, acquired in the Navy shuffle. Both boys are tall and heavy, and represent Carolina's best bets at the end posts, although returning letterman Jack Hussey will undoubtedly see plenty of reserve action. ' . 220 pound Oliver Poole, another of the famous Ole Miss tribe, will prob ably start at right tackle for the Tar Heels. The marine senior has worked nara during practice and has earned "his right to appear on the opening squad, even with such formidable opposition for the right tackle post as that offered by Jack Aland, from last year's strong Alabama, outfit, and Fred Hamilton, both of whom, however, will be mighty powerful reserve material. Don Whitmire, former Alabama star and 220 pounds of mighty gridiron Both Coaches Depend On Squads with V-12 Talent possibilities, has practically sewed up the left tackle post on the team that starts against Tech this Saturday. Whitmire was a spark plug of the 'Bama varsity for two years, and last year was mentioned oh several AllAmerica squads. . . ' .. . - ' . . - Bull Johnson and Ralph Strayhorn will probably, start at the guard posts for the Tar Heels.. Johnson, captain of the Southern Methodist outfit, looks like one of the finest guards to play at Carolina in years, and has outclassed most of his opposition for the starting spot. Strayhorn, who will handle the other side of the center spot, is a Tar Heel veteran. Saved for Carolina by the NROTC, Strayhorn has proven his ability, during practice, to offset even the strong competition offered by such notable reserve material as Harold Arfman, of Southern Methodist, and George Roberts, former Ole Miss star. Strayhorn is the only returning Tar Heel to be named on the probable starting forward wall. He hails from Dur ham and was a star on the freshman football squad in 1941, plus a letter winner on last year's varsity. Coach Young has sweated over filling the center spot which was left vacant by Chan Highsmith's call to duty. He believes the problem solved, however, withthe fine showing of Dick Harris, a senior from Southern Methodist. Harris, originally a guard, has been showing swift adaptability to the center post, and will probably start at the Dosition. altpmatinp- Tar Heel veteran, throughout the Tech contest. lhe tailback spot is pretty much a mvstprv.

Cox is a triple-threater, needed so badly on this year's club.

B. House sent a message of greeting to the new Carolina students fresh men, transfers, coeds. The new Carolina men and women start on their first day of classes to day at a University that has been changed by the demands of a wartime nation into a dual-institution, part Army and Navy, part civilian. f The text of the House letter : To All New Students of the Uni -varsity: ' I want to say a word of genuine greeting on behalf of this entire com munity to each new student who comes in either as a freshman or as a trans fer from some other institution.

Facing its fourth war since the opening of the "oldest state University in the nation' UNC is "geared to its highest peak in working for victory in all of 'its wartime history' The University has been training for war for three and a half years. Today the campus boasts a unit of the vast V-12 program and one of the several ASTP units in the country, as well as the Navy pre-flight schooL In addition, ap proximately 250 men have just been graduated .from the Pre-Meteorology school that has been here for the past nine months. Figure Break-up In a break-up of the expected 1200-1500 civilian students who were notified of their eligibility to enter the University this fall well over 300 are freshmen. Of the 125 freshmen who entered during the summer session, at least 90 were expected back for the fall term. Indications are that 245 new freshmen, in cluding several women students registering in the pharmacy school and en tering as town students, will have been registered. All freshmen, irregardless of .their intended major fields, are enrolled in the general college until they have completed at least the first two years of their scholastic work. Non-Military Class In the non-military groups of upperclassmen, incomplete registration tabu lations show from 300 to 400 as the enrollment figure for male students. Rooms in the coed dormitories and sorority houses have been given to somewhat over . See FALL, page 8 it
