B tomorrow foot
ball followers
throughout the
South will get a
'glimpse of what
the 1929 Tar
Heel eleven will
be in action. During the past
three weeks plenty of ink has
been spread about what they
ought to be. , Sport writers from
all over the South have been
jubilant concerning the Tar
Heels. Those who have ; seen
them in action say that this
year's team should be the best
ever to represent Carolina.
The coaches, however, are
saying little. They're putting
some, sixty odd aspirants
through daily work-outs. Of
that number there are letter
men for every position except
center. Good freshman material
and a reserve from last year's
squad are available there.
Physically the squad is in
good condition. Only two men
have been out at all. Captain
Ray Farris and Phil Jackson
have been handicapped by ill
ness, the former by tonsil trouble
and the latter by gall stones.
However, Jackson returned to
active work early this week and
Captain Farris is expected to be
back in togs next week.
After two weeks of practice
Coach Collins and . his . assis
tants, Cerney, Fetzer and En
right, strated scrimmage early
this week. Various combina
tions have been used in these
scrimmages and nothing de
finite has been settled about the !
line-up for the Demon Deacons
clash here next week. However,
the coaches have been running in
signal practice what may be the
starting team next Saturday.
This eleven is composed alto
gether of vetrans with the ex
ception of the pivot position.
Holt and Fenner ends, Adkins
and Koenig tackles, Farris and
Eskew guards, Lipscomb
center, Wyrick quarter, Nash
and Ward halves, and Spauld-ing-
full, give the Carolina
mentors a letterman at. every
post except center and full back.
Spaulding has seen two years of
service but has never quite made
his letter. .Lipscomb was one
of the reserve centers last fall.
. There is an abundance of
material in the backf ield, . but
line veterans are scarce .Coach
Collins can present three quar
tets of almost equal strength to
Tar Heel opponents. Among the
backs in togs this fall are Henry
House and Pap Harden, full
backs ; Jim Maus, Jim Magner,
Phil Jackson, Chuck Erickson,
and Rip Slusser, half backs ; and
Shorty Branch and Jim Moore,
quarters.
There is plenty of material
for the flank positions, but lit
tle of it has been under fire.
Among the reserves returning
are Parsley, Nelson, and Tabb
ends ; . Dortch and Harper
tackles; and Hudson, a letter
man from the 1928 squad, and
Crew guards.
: Carolina has ten games card
ed for this season. Half of
these are listed for Kenan
Stadium. Carolina opens with
the Wake Forest Deacons here
next Saturday. Following that
game two trips are scheduled,
one to College Park, M., for the

Pictured above are seven reasons for the unusual amount of publicity given Carolina's prospects in football. ,They are Wyrick,
Nash, House, Magner, Harden, Maus, and Erickson, all second year backs. They enjoyed a great year on the grid turf last fall
and indications are that they are ready for another big year. When any of them are in Carolina's line-up opponents expect
anything. They usually get what they're expecting. :

There don't appear to be any

Graduate Manager Charlie

Athletic Council have arranged
for the 1929 edition of Univer
sity of North Carolina gridmen.
Ten games are to be played,
3 N. C. Coaches Are
Old Notre Dame Men
Three of Knute Rockne's
alumni of the gridiron are teach
ing football at the University of
North Carolina this fall., The
Notre Dame trio is composed of
Chuck Collins, Bill Cerney, and
Rex Enright.
Head Coach Collins was an
end on the championship Notre
Dame team of 1924. Cerney
was a teammate at halfback and
Enright played fullback on the
1925 team.
Collins will center his atten
tion on coaching the Tar Heel
and eight of them are with'linemen- Cerney will coach the
First call for the Varsity
Cross-Country team has been
issued and practice begins this
afternoon at 3:30 on Emerson
Field. Coach Ranson urges that
all candidates for the 1929 team
be present at this' workout in
order to round into shape for
an early meet this fall.
In spite of the loss of last
year's captain of cross-country,
Henderson, and the absence of
Fisher and Brown the 1929 teain
will have a wealth of material
to choose from. Captain Bark-
ley will lead a group of six let-
termen back to the course a-
mong whom are: Baucom, Low-
ery, Wrenn, and Medford. In
addition to these lettermen
there will be such material as
Crane, Simpson, Manning, Long,
and Hamer while the last year's
freshman team will furnish such
men as -Phoenix, Pierce, Ander
son, Gilchrist, Draper, Farris,
and Purser.
The high light of the 1929
cross-country season will be the
Southern Conference meet which
will be held at Chapel Hill for
the second' time in the past
three years.
Out of the four Southern Con
ference Cross-Country meets
that have been held Carolina has
captured three of the wins and
was not represented at the oth
er meet. In 1925, when the
meet was held at V. P. I., Caro
lina was not represented. U.
N. C. took her first cross-country
title in 1926 when the meet
was held at Athens, Georgia,
land followed it up the next year
at Chapel Hill by duplicating the
feat. This nast year she made
it a habit by winning for the
third straight time at the .meet
in Atlanta. .,
Maryland scrap, and the other
to Atlanta for the Tech clash.
Homecoming day will be cele
brated here October 19 with the
Georgia game as a headliner.
Two more games follow in the
Stadium V. P. I. coming down
October 26 and State November

ritory, while Virginia will end
the home season here Thanks

Southern Conference teams.
Wake Forest and Davidson are
the only non-Conference teams
to be met. There will be five
games at home and five away.
The Tar Heels will open the
season against Wake Forest in
Kenan Stadium here on Satur
day, September 28, after a
four-weeks practice period.
They will close the season in the
annual game with Duke in
Duke's new stadium in Durham.
The opening game with Wake
Forest is expected to draw a
large crowd. After losing to
the Baptists for four successive
years, the Tar Heels last year
managed to throw off the jinx
and defeated the Deacons to the
tune of 65 to 0. This year the
Deacons are expected to be much
stronger, and there's no telling
they may pull another of the
upsets for which they have be
come noted. The fans will be
powerfully football hungry by
the time this first game rolls
around. Last year some 15,000
fans filed into Kenan Stadium
to witness this game.
The other home games are
with the University of Georgia
on October 19, V. P. L on Octo
ber 26, N. C. State on Novem
ber 2, and Virginia on Novem
ber 28.
A great many North Caro
linians are expected to go to
Atlanta to attend the Carolina
Georgia Tech game there on
FridayOctober 11. On the fol
lowing day, October 12, the Uni
versity of Georgia will dedicate
its new stadium in a game with
Yale. This double menu is ex
pected to prove a big drawing
card for those who are anxious
to, see two mighty good football
games. Plans are under way to
run special trains to Atlanta for
the occasion, and a number of
pullman reservations already
have been made.
Head Coach Chuck Collins
began his season campaign
September 2 with the opening of
fair practice. Seventeen letter
men are back, with considerable
reserve and freshman material
of promise. There were nine
letter backs in the list of 75 or
80 men who turned out for early
practice. The main problem
just now seems to lie in de
veloping a hefty, stalwart line.
The complete schedule fol
lows: Sept. 28 Wake Forest at
Chapel Hill.
Oct. 5 University of Mary-
Tar Heel backs, and Enright
will- coach the freshmen.
Other coaches on this year's
Tar Heel staff will be Athletic
Director Bob Fetzer, a Davidson
product, who is a veteran line
coach; Jim Ashmore, from Illi
nois, who will help tutor the
backs ; Trainer Chuck Quinlan ;
and Freshman Coaches Grady
Pritchard and Odell Sapp.
Odell Sapp, star end on Tar
Heel football teams for three
seasons and all-state the last
two years, has been added to
the coaching roster at the Uni
versity of North Carolina, ac
cording to announcement today
from Charles T. Woollen, Grad
uate Manager of Athletics.
Sapp will be assistant fresh
man football coach. He will also
coach the freshman boxers and
will help Freshman Coach Rex
Enright with the baseball team.
He will take the place of Les
ter Belding, former Iowa star,
who goes this year to coach at
Greensboro High.
The newcomer to the coaching
force is one of few three letter
men the University has had in
recent years and is well known
in Tar Heel athletic circles. He
has played three seasons at end
on the football team, being twice
a unanimous selection for all-
state and prominently mentioned
on all-southern picks, and has
put in two seasons on the Tar
Heel boxing and baseball teams.

Many Games for
N. C. Fans Listed
Carolina's football schedule
was apparently made to suit the
palates of Tar Heel sport fans.
No less than seven of tfre ten
games scheduled will be played
in North Carolina. The t only
contests to be played on foreign
territory are those with Mary
land, Georgia Tech, and South
Carolina.
With so many attractive
games arranged at the home
field, Kenan Stadium, the ath
letic authorities are planning to
accomodate big crowds here this
fall. Only once has the beauti
ful stadium been filled, but this
fall all records should fall when
the Heels meet Georgia and Vir
ginia. However, the contests
with State, V. P. I., and Wake
Forest should also draw more
than ten thousand to Chapel
Hill.
