-A--- ss- mpJt1t- FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1946 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Page Five s tartiing Array May ee Nine Lettermen Charlie J ustice Among Top Frosh Recruits Set For Action Tomorrow The starting battle array "of the North Carolina Tar Heels against Virginia Tech in a Southern Conference football curtain raiser at Kenan stadium tomorrow afternoon could be fairly well tabbed today, but it will be no guarantee for the future. While the 1946 Tar Heels are shy of any extended college experience with a distinct shortage of really polished talent, there are several candidates for every position, any one of whom could claim a starting berth over the season's run. Some are good at one thmg, some at another, and it is a task for the instructors to determine the top talent. Coach Carl Snavely hasn't definite ly committed himself to the lineup wmcn win taice tne neia at z:60 o- clock tomorrow when 20,000 (includ ing the 2,000 guests of Senior high school day) will be on hand to ob serve the unveiling. However, a spec ulator wouldn't miss over one or two slots with the following guess, a team of nine lettermen and two freshmen: , Ends: Joe Romano, 200-pound freshman; George Sparger, 200-pound letterman from Mount Airy. Tackles: Stan Marczyk, heaviest man on the squad at 255 and 18-year-old letterman; Ted Hazelwood, letter man star of the 1945 eleven, who weighs 220. Guards: Ralph Strayhorn, veteran letterman from Durham, who'll weigh about 200; Harry Varney, the letter man "Toy Bulldog," 18-year-old 180 pounder. Center: Chan Highsmith, sopho more star in 1943, a 215 pounder. Backs: Charlie Justice, freshman triple-threater; Jack Fitch, letter man off the 1943 club; Hosea Rod gers, letterman from that same er ratic but might-have-been great V 12 team; and Joe Wright, the Ashe ville boy who lettered here in 1942. While that roll call may give you the starting team, it is expected that Coach Snavely will call on every play er on his first four teams to give them a test under fire. He may have to do it to quell the challenge of a " :.:'y,Jv ZM, :-::::-:-:-:-x-:-: : f I Trainer Quinlan Back After Boston Sojurn Intramural Program To Move Into High P. H.

If Caro lina's big line is successful in stop ping the Lrobblers running attack, a lot of damage could be done in the airlanes. Tech owns a big, tough for ward wall, too, pivoted by veteran Joe Huffman. ' NEVER WITHOUT ONE At a practice session you never see Carolina football player without his headgear. Usually he has it on his GILL CHANGES MIND End Coach Jim Gill of the Univer sity, of North Carolina knows a little something about kicking. When the players reported for early practice, Gill thought he would do a little dem onstrating. Then he saw M. A. (Max) Spellmari kick a football and he changed his mind. "Spellman can, do the demonstrating:, " he said. The Savannah, Ga., boy looks to be the fiinest kicker a North Carolina team has had since Harry Dunkle used to boot them for Ray Wolf's Tar Heel teams. UNC'S 1943 SQUAD Twelve University of North Caro lina football candidates are returnees from the talent-studded 1943 Tar Heel V-12 squad, coached by Tom Young. The group includes Billy My ers, Hugh (Shot) Cox, Bob Rockholz, Hosea Rodgers, Joe Kosinski, Jack Fitch and Bobby Weant, backs; Ralph Strayhorn, Hardy Henry, Dave Bur- ney, George Roberts, and Max Spur- lin, linemen.

Thousands of college graduates have found their places on this team of communication experts and are making telephony a career. There's Opportunity and Adventure in Telephony t T IE IL E P mi D N E SYSTEM An added impetus was furnished the 1946 Carolina football hopefuls when they started practice last month by the presence on the side lines -of a Tar Heel alumnus with whose name the phrase "Carolina Spirit" is synonymous. The gentle man in question was noted band leader Kay Kyser, head cheerleader here back in 1927. A total of 90 candidates made their initial appearance that first afternoon in August, but the "Old Professor" of screen and radio fame was the man who stole the show. Kyser, visiting the campus from his home at Rocky Mount before returning to Hollywood, made the day a gala one for .visitors, and players alike by delivering a long pep talk to the men destined to carry Carolina's pigskin fortunes this fall. Admitting to his large audience that Carl Snavely was the most elegant assistant coach he had ever had, Kyser went on to recall his days at Rocky Mount high school as junior assistant coach of the local team. He outlined his famous "double zinger" play, a highly com plicated piece of tomfoolery to which he attributes all his success as a coach. The former head cheerleader, who played a vital role in building up the now famous Carolina spirit with his various cheering groups such as the "Cheerios," left the gridders with a serious word about prospects for a good season this fall, emphasizing the one thought uppermost in the mind of every Tar Heel BEAT DUKE. Both Carolina And V.P.I. Lines Average Over 200 The 25,000 or more fans assembled in Kenan stadium here to morrow afternoon to view the undrapin of the North Carolina Tar Heels and Virginia Tech Gobblers will be treated to the sight of two typical post-war football lines, each averaging well over 200 pounds. Whether these titans of the atomic era will play $ better football than the smaller pre war standard bearers remains to be seen. Even the coaches are not sure. But both the Tar Heels and Gobblers have the beef up front on their foot ball field if not their dinner tables. And Elmer Wilson is captain of the invaders and flanks a Virginia Tech forward wall which boasts two All-America candidates in John (The Greek) Maskas and Center Joe Hoff man! Maskas had a fleeting whirl on the North Carolina team as wartime V-12 traffic flowed through Chapel Hill, and he is well remembered here as a sizzling tackle. The Tar Heels have five right tackles, each of whom weighs 200 or more, witn l ed nazeiwooa ,at zzz top ping the list. The five left tackles are even heavier. The smallest, Jim Hed- rick, tips the scales gently at 220. Stan Marczyk, who probably will start, weighs 255. Baxter Jarrell, in jured most of the practice season but whom many believe isj;he best tackle on the squad, weighs 240. While the Tar Heel linesmen are huge, excepting a few assorted spare ends and centers, there is much youth and inexperience in the complement. Marczyk is only 18 years old. So is Bob Mitten, second - only to Ralph Strayhorn in the left guard slot. Sid Varney, the starting , left guard, also is a tender 18, along with Len Sza faryn, highly regarded 200-pound right tackle. Max Cooke of Kanna See VPI, page 12. Teams To Select Mural Managers The primary objectives of the In tramural department again are to stimulate interest and organize com petition in a variety of sports suffi cient to meet the expressed desires of all members of the student body. With the return of many of the old intramural spark plugs, the increase in the size of all the competing or ganizations, and a need for physical recreation activities to help relieve the tension of a crowded daily rou tine, it is anticipated that participa tion will be greater, and competition keener than ever before in the his tory of the department. The program of sports for the Fall Quarter includes a round robin tour nament in tag football starting on or near October 10 and elimination tournaments in wrestling and boxing to be conducted near the end of the quarter. Tournaments in table tennis and volley ball will be conducted if there is sufficient interest to warrant their being instituted into the intra mural program. The winter's program will see bas ketball taking the lead, with compete tion in foul shooting and handball al- so oeing neia. An maoor swimming meet will add interest and spirit to the winter intramural competition. The spring quarter will offer an op portunity for participation in soft- ball, track, tennis, horseshoe and wa ter polo. A cumulative record of points won by an teams in eacn sport win De kept during the year, and intramural rophies will be awarded to the teams in each league amassing tne greatest number of points through out the year. In addition, individual awards will be made to the members of winning teams in all sports con ducted during the year. The' Department urges the forma tion of all teams by any independent group on the campus. However, care should be taken to select players from groups who have daily contacts with each other such as a group living or eating at the same house or neigh boring houses. Should the number of independent teams be great enough, a third league will be formed in addi tion to the Fraternity and Dormitory leagues. Last Fall the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity won the titles in Frater nity Tag Football and Wrestling, with the Beta's taking the boxing crown. In the Dormitory league, the Medical School carried off honors in tag foot ball, but no competition was conduct ed in wrestling and boxing. The close of intramural competition in the spring saw the Phi Gam's winning another leg of the Fraternity Intra mural Challenge Cup by beating the Phi Kaps in the Softball final, while the Marine V-12 unit here gained the championship in the Dormitory league. Organizations desiring to reserve practice fields or arrange practice games before the beginning of league competition may do so by contacting the Intramural Department. A meeting of all intramural man agers will be held as soon as all organizations. w H o w H H C5 l-H I VI O i i I Q 55 O 1 m W u H CHRYSTALS FITTED IN ONE HOUR RINGS SIZED STONE SETTING ENGRAVING WELCOME TO CAROLINA! 9 I For Jewelry that is Distinguished in Quality, Exquisite in Beauty, and Moderately Priced Visit CAROLINA'S NEWEST JEWELER GODWIN JEWELRY CO.
