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

heralded as one of high promise.
Dick DeShazo, Jack Gallagher,
Harry Walton and Ray Beasley are
reported to be first rate passers in
Jimmy Kitts' flashy attack. If Caro
lina's big line is successful in stop
ping the Lrobblers running attack, a
lot of damage could be done in the

NEVER WITHOUT ONE
At a practice session you never see

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

Hosea Rodgers, Joe Kosinski, Jack
Fitch and Bobby Weant, backs; Ralph
Strayhorn, Hardy Henry, Dave Bur-

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

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.
