And so, midst the trumpeting of trumpets and the heralding
of heralds, we slip back into Chapel Hill once more to glance with
casual eye over the sporting greats and near-greats for the com
ing year. For 'tis football time the joy and despair of alumni,
the livelihood of many, the . . . Well, 'tis football time.
. Saturday's heroes will trod turf for another season. From coast
to coast, from Moochersville to Miami, husky lads will try their
hand at legal homicide while thousands cheer. But just hang on
for another week. Come the 24th day of this month, and football's
future will begin to unfold ; until then, abide in peace-and hope.
Coach Raymond B. Wolf is hoping. Without optimism or
pessimism, the Bear has worked steadily for the past two
weeks with a squad of some fifty players. Now, were he in
clined to bemoan his lot and seek out the weeping wall, Wolf
would immediately think of the loss of Burnette, Little, Ditt, i
Ber&hak, Bartos, Wrejnn, Palmer, and Bricklemyer. Nine
good lettermen and true, their college days over. ' " ' , j
On the other hand, if Wolf waxed enthusiastic with effervescent
joy, he would stop people on the streets to sing the praises of
George Watson (the best blocking back in the South), Tony Cer
nugle, Jack Kraynick, George Radman, George Stirnweiss, Jim
Lalanne, and a few others that show promise of becoming stellar
attractions on the Carolina gridiron. Then, turning his attention
to the line, the Coach would marvel at his luck in having such po
tential strength in the majority of positions.
But, as stated before, Wolf is neither optimistic or pessimistic.
He's only hoping.
Remember though, don't sell the '38 Tar Heels short.
Going Hie way of all football flesh are Tom Burnette, Art
Ditt, and Hank Bartos. These three of last year's star-flecked
crew take their income from the game now. . Burnette, after a
summer of semi-pro baseball managing, has hooked up with
the Pittsburg Pirates of the professional football league. Ditt
finally signed with the Detroit Lions, and Bartos, at first, went
with the Washington Redskins. He played the last few min
utes of the All-Star game early this month, but latest reports
say that he has been farmed to Homestead, a minor team.
The one and only Andy Bershak is still around the Hill, recu
perating from his recent serious illness. He will wait until March
before reporting to work with the Cone Mills in Greensboro. Crow
ell Little, quarterback superb, is coaching at King's Mountain high
school, as is Bricklemyer at Fayetteville.
Believe it or not, that backfield of '37 will live long in the his
tory of Carolina football. Many a year will pass before another
will equal it's all-around ability. Burnette, J)itt, Little, and Wat
son; the Big Four of the South. Only Watson remains, and he is
certain again to be the outstanding blocker in the conference, if
not the entire South.
Out at practice the other day was a battle-scarred little lad
not quite five feet high. He approached spectators and asked
for shoes he had been walking for nearly 48 hours.
Inquiry proved that his name was Henry "Shorty" Reyn
olds, late of a small town in Indiana. He had set out some
weeks previous to come South and landed in Chapel Hill af
ter about four pairs of shoes and numerous assorted blisters.
He was, incidentally, broke.
The night before he entered an amateur boxing match at Carr
boro, and lost to, a boy twelve pounds heavier. All of which ac-

The boys are workinsr hard, shaping: iro rapidly, and should be
all set to go by next Saturday," so say Co-captains Steve Maronic,
left, and George Watson, right, in so many words to that effect.
Both playing their last year, 215-pound Maronic at tackle and 185-
pound Watson at half will be the backbone of Ray WolFs squad
of 10 lettermen, 14 reserves, and 26 sophomores.

Easy Prey Last
Fall, Locals' Foes
Now Are Tough
By SHELLEY KOLFE
The old grad who inquired
none too sweetly last fall why
the 1938 Carolina football team
was taking on such a soft sche
dule, had a slightly florid face
today gained from reading a
prospectus of the coming sea
son. For on every hand the soft
touches and tail enders of last
season, had suddenly acquired
the strength and material to
march to the front football
ranks, while the strong teams on
the schedule promised to have as
much power if not more, than
ever. '
Starting with Wake Forest,
which promises to have a team
of amazing sophomores adept in
all the wiles and ways of the
football trade, the schedule
which will carry through nine
games, seems to have only two
easy games. They are with
Davidson and Virginia Tech, metj
before and after Duke respect
ively. Weak As Reported
A football observer, who ven
tured to the camp of the .Gob
blers in the Blue Ridge moun
tains of Virginia, is reported to
have come back ruefully shak
ing his head and wondering
where the Techs expected to
raise a team. Davidson will miss
Teeny Lafferty. The Wildcats
are starting to rebuild their foot
ball fortunes, but it will be a long
arduous task, one only a super
man could perform in one year,
and super-men in football are
few and decades apart.
At Wake Forest, i the football
brain trust of Jim Weaver and
Peahead Walker is hard at work
molding excellent sophomore
material into a team that will do
something about bettering last
year's Old Gold and Black record
of three won and six lost. PJay
ers like Fetter, Gallovich, and
Mayberry in the backfield and
Trunzo, Kuchinski, and Crabtree
on the line are expected to come
up and help veterans like Wirtz
and Evans bolster the Baptists.
State Strong
Doc Newton doesn't say much
at State. He goes about his work
quietly violating all of Walt Dis
ney's precepts. But State must
have a team of near record pro
portions to fit that sturdy sche
dule that lists in addition to
Carolina such foes as Duke, Ala
bama, Carnegie Tech, Manhat
tan and Detroit. Bobby Sabolyk
and Art Rooney present fire
works in the backfield and Coon
and Fry will be rearing up in
the line endeavouring to smear
the opposition aborning.
Tulane will be the home-com
ing day foe at Kenan stadium,
and the Green Waves have it in
them to make it a black after
noon for the returning alumni.
Red Dawson has a tough team
from a tough conference. Two
kid brothers of former Tulane
greats, Buddy Banker and Billy
Payne, should speed the touch
down production up in the back
field. The line should be fast and
heavy.
Dr. Mai Stevens, the Old Yale
Blue who transferred his alleg
iance to NYU and the sidewalks
of New York, has as big and
rugged an outfit as can be found
in a trip through the football
camps of the nation. Ed Wil
liams, the Negro backfield ace, is
counted upon as the man to
spark the club. He will be aided
by Shorten and Boell, who have
played against Carolina for the
past two years. Two-hundred
pounders swell out every line
post except the end positions.
The Violets will be aiming
squarely for October 29 and a
chance for revenge against Ohio
State for that 60-0 pasting of
1936, but they will still carry
plenty of guns to use against the

'The time has come," said the walrus to the carpenter, or may
be it was vice versa, I wasn't around to check the thing, "to speak
cf cabbages, and kings, and football things'
"True indeed, true indeed," replied our nail driving friend, quaff
ing a lather of suds, "they do say that the football season is hard
upon us. Huge men are leaving coal mines and assembly lines to
take their place on the football lines; and I notice the papers these
days are showing football players kicking high instead of bathing
beauties. Next thing you know the moth balls will be out of the
raccoon coats and the speculators will be with us."
'The paper says Jock Sutherland fears West Virginia," ob
served the walrus.
"Yeah, and the Yankees fear the Athletics will take the
American league pennant this season. Pitt ought to be num
ber one in the country again unless the boys are organized by
the CIO and go out on strike. That backfield of Goldberg, Cas
siano, Stebbins, and Chickerneo is sweet, and Bill Daddio at
end ought to make All-American finally. Pitt is just too strong
for the rest of the boys and I pity Wallace Wrade along about,
the end of November."
"Don't forget Cornell, Fordham, and Dartmough when speak
ing about Eastern teams," put in the ever cautious walrus. "Carl"
Snavely has something more at Cornell than a view of Lake Cuy
uga. Holland and Van Randt on the line and Peck and Baker in
the backfield should carry the team to town. Dartmouth has a
strong line and in Bob McLeod one of the better backs in the coun
try. Fordham may have lost a few of the seven blocks of granite
out front but a big soph named Kuzman who stands as tall as the
Empire State building and weighs about as much as Old Stone
Mountain should fill several of the gaps at once. Then those young
backs, Principe, Kazlo, and Fortunato, should break loose. That
Fordham-Pitt game will be something to bring your lunch to."
"Speaking of trouble," said the carpenter although he knew
very well nobody was, "Ray Wolf is having more than he could
shake a stick at if he were the stick-shaking kind. Stirnweiss
is out indefinitely, Kimball may be declared ineligible, Cernugle
has that weak knee. It's double, double, toil, and trouble for
Carolina. Duke seems to be having its share of woes. They
claim McAfee is done for the year. Wallace Wade has few
veterans back. Clemson may be tough in the conference, while
State must have something to fit that Suicide schedule the
Red Terrors have on for the fall." ,
"It looks like Alabama and LSU in the Southeastern again,"
confided the walrus, who got it straight from his fourth cousin
in Round Oaks Georgia. "Frank Thomas has a great set of backs,
a strong line, and he's lost only three men from last year's Rose
Howl team. LSU of course has a wealth of material for Bernie
Moore to work with. Vanderbilt will be as strong as ever, and
you'll have to watch Tennessee, Mississippi State and Ole Miss.
"Ohio State and Minnesota have it in the Big Ten," the carpen
ter darkly hinted. "The Gophers are favored to win, but they do
say Francis Schmidt has big things brewing in Columbus. He is
going to drop stealth and speed and rely on power, arid the Buck
eyes have plenty of it: Fritz Crisler wfll help Michigan, but not'
enough to move the Wolverines into a contending position. North
western and Indiana are the dark horse clubs. Notre Dame is sup
posed to have much misery this fall. Elmer Layclen only had 95
hand-picked candidates out for the first practice the other day,
and he isn't sure whejther he'll be able to field the usual nine com
plete Irish teams. It's a sad situation at South Bend, and we know
at least 45673 football coaches would like to have Layden's wor
ries. - ?
"Now in the southwest," replied the walrus between his false
teeth which fitted badly in the first place causing him to caliope
like a steam whistle with each word, "they have more good foot
ball players than yodeling cowboys on the lone prairie. Rice won
last year and has the same team back to face a schedule that
would melt a banker's heart. TCU has a team of ten seniors who
will be out to close their college days in the so-called blaze of
glory. Davy O'Brien is a better man in the air than Howard
Hughes, and when passes start flitting through the air it's every
