- FOOTBALL'S MAGIC SPELL IS everywhere about this time
et. year and Chapel HiH. is certainly no excepiioa Folks arouod
tills nek of the Sotftt&etm Confeceaee woods ase wondering Just how
well. th kne-deep Tar Heel souad is going to stack uo against some
tbe tougheat teams in the nation and they're :' also wondering
About the conference title chase and about Saturday's opener with
at upstart N. C. State Warn. ".'
It's really to early to tell, but let's analyze a few of the top teams
2a. the conference. V ".
CAROLINA: Sixteen of 22 regulars are returning this year along
with nine other lettermen, a host of varsity "reserves, the. cream, of
last year's freshman crop, and a batch of hotshot freshmen. Coach
Carl Snavely has a good crop of sophomores and freshmen to bolster
last, year's vets but he also has a lot of question marks. The ends
are the weakest points while tailbacks, tackles and centers Seem to
be plentiful. Major losses were Huck Holdash, Dick Bunting" arid
Roscoe Hansen. The defensive backs posed a problem at first but
things seem to be working out slowly.
N. C. STATE: Romped" over Catawba, 34-Q, in first game but
could muster no long payoff drives. Capitalized on mistakes and
probably kept major portion of offensive attack under wraps. The
Wolfpaek is always dangerous especially to arch rival UNC Coach
Beattie Feathers has the best manpower at his disposal that he has
Enjoyed since taking over the State team His ends are fairly' weak
and the defensive backfield is no great shakes. Major losses were
Ed Mooney and Tony Romanowsky. In addition to 22 lettermen,
State has a batch of good sophs and good freshmen.
Totum Likes His Terps
MARYLAND : Coach Jim Tatum likes his team and minces no
words in saying so. A lot of football folk also like the Terps who
are loaded with fair-to-middlin' backs and have a fine little All
America (Bob Ward) at guard. The Terps have a fast and tricky
tmm tho finlii-T but the defensive line is not the best in the
world. Major losses were Elmer Wmgate, Ray Krouse, Chat Gierula
and Jake Rowden. : : " :
WAKE FOREST: The Deacs had the best defensive line in the
nation last year and is. bolstered by the return of All-Southern Tackle
0ia Gearge, one of the roughest customers in the conference. Wake
jUas one of the finest first teams in the conference but the reserves
9re woefully weak. New Coach Tom Rogers has a handful of good
sophs but needs more. Major losses were Jim Staton, Bob Auffarth
jund Nub Smith.
DUKE: New coach, new formation will handicap the Blue Devils.
TSak in. the middle of tiie line and at offensive ends Many of the
bac&s show promise but are u tried. Quarterback Jerry Barger, a
freshman, has been a shot in the arm to Duke hopes. Major losses
weoe Billy Coic, Ceep Youmans, Jim Gibson and. Tom Powers.
Chalmers Port

On Injury List
' Carolina's football team moved
iak the last days of practice be
fore the If . C. State game with no
serious injuries - Hampering - the
squad. Although the Tar Heels
suffered the usual number of mi
nor injuries, ; the i entire I squad
should be ready for " Saturday's
game. . - ' -!: I;.- 'it 7
Alternate Captain ; Bob (Goo

'Wmback : Chalmers r Port 'has
been running in flight togsdiie to
an apendectpmy three weeks ago.
He should be ready for the Texas
game-. Louis Britt, tailback from
Glen Cove, N. Y., will be out with
a sprained" ankle for a few weeks.
Surprise of the;sctimni&ges has
been the passing of junior tail
back Frank Wissman. At present
Wissman and sophomore Billy
Williams look like the best of the
tailbacks.
Eigh or "nine freshmen J have
done well in practice and several
should see some action this fall.
Larry Parker, I highly publicized
back from Charlotte, will prob
ably play at defensive halfback.
State held secret drills on Mon
day and Tuesday as they prepar
ed for the Tar Heels. Morning
sessions both days were delegated
to brushing up on. the pass de
fense. Catawba College gained

CI cm son Heu Posibilittcs
CLEMSONk Tha Tics lost heavily but lettermea still jam
b lieges. Aside from hustling Billy Hair capable backs are scarce.
Coach Frank Howard wont get much help from last year's fresh
men but stifl might eome up with another ; fin team he usualry
oea. The offeswive backs are weak. Mjor losses were Sterliftg
Cauth, Fred Cone, Jaefcie Caivert, Ray Mathews and Diek Hendle.
SOUTH CAROLINA! Coah Rek Enright needs a quarterback
sad sophoittore Johnny . Graanling might be just tfee man to fill the
tSL If the slot isnt adeoiately filled, the Gamecocks will have a
poor offense despite the presence of glittering Steve Wadiak The
end3 are only so-so and the passing attack is poor. Major loss was
battering Bishop Strickland
WILLIAM AND MARY: The Indians have a new coach and a
mew formation. They will have a lot of scoring power if they can
get started. The defense is relatively weak but Coach Marvin Bass
usually turns out a fine line. It may take the Indians a little time
to get started. Major loss was Vito Ragazzo. V
WASHINGTON AND LEE: Chances are the Generals won't re
peat as conference "champions (VMI might slip in) but will have a
pretty fair country team. . Graduation hart the Virginians; The line
and reserve strength is weak but Gil Bocetti is still on hand and he
eaa make most any team click. Major loss was Walt Michaels.
JOE DUDECK and BOB GA2ITT
... Tar Heel grid leaders
256 yards through the air against
State in last week's season open
er for the Wolfpaek.
- The afternoon portion of State's
two-a-day drills was spent work
ing on defenses against Carolina's
running: attack. -Tuesday's prac
tice was topped off by a 45 min
ute scrimmage against the B
squad.' r
Offensively Alex Webster, a 21
pound speedster, is the big whee
in the State attack. Webster:
passing ability is a big qusstior
mark for he didn't throw a singl
pass against Catawba.

Some folks seem to think that
Carolina is going to have a foot
ball powerhouse this year.
Grantland Rice, writing in Look
magazine, picked UNC as the
13th team in the nation. Sport
life magazine selected the Tar
Xleels as one of the top 10 teams
fa the country.
Speaking of the Southern Con
ference. Hie says, ''North Caro
lina is favored with Maryland
and Duke pressing,
it looks like Wake
After that,
Forest, Wil
liam and Mary, North Carolina
State, South Carolina, Clemson."
Going even farther out on his
limb, Rice continues, " For the
New Year's Day lineup, I predict
. v. Miami vs. North Carolina in
the Orange BowL
One interesting fact to be tak
en into consideration when any
discussion of Carolina's national
ranking comes up is that four of
the Tar Heels' 1951 opponents are
rather generally ranked among
the top 20 team -i the country.
