Four Fatal Factors
SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH Carolina football. No one can
deny that. To me, however, it seems that the basic fault is not with
Snavely but with a combination of the following:
1. The coaching assistants.
2. Lack of experienced material.
,3. The toughest schedule in the nation.
4. Too many sideline quarterbacks and second-guessers.
laking the points one by one, I -would say that Snavely is, for
the most part, surrounded by incompetent aides. While 'there are
two or three able assistants on the staff, it is generally poor. A head
coach does not have the time to devote to individuals that he would
like to have and must, of a necessity, rely upon his aides. When the
assistants are lacking in ability, the team will also leave something
to be desired. I definitely look for a shakeup in this department.
Our material is, for the most part, green and inexperienced. Des
pite the fact that the team was given a big pre-season build-up by
the same writers who are now attempting to lay the blame to Sna
vely, we do not have a team capable of playing the over-tough
schedule which is ours. If Carolina had the same schedule that cer
tain other Southern Conference teams of national stature are playing,
we would not be snowed under by losses at this stage of the game.
The story of why we don't have the material is another, sadder tale
which I would be glad to discuss if anyone is interested.
We do not have an experienced blocking back on the squad. Our
offensive ends have been unsatisfactory all season. There in no ex
perience at this position either. There is only one experienced and
capable defensive end on the squad. There is only one experienced
linebacker on the team. Experience is almost unheard of in the de
fensive backfield and the offensive backfield has been a wishy-washy
proposition all year with only one position firmly established.
Of Schedules, Alumni & Ethics
The Carolina schedule is, as far as I'm concerned, without parallel
when it comes to toughness. We could, of course, pad the card with
humpty-dumpties but that would be denying students, alumni and
the football-loving public of North Carolina a chance to see their
team against the best the nation has to offer. I, for one, had rather
take my chances with the big boys instead of playing the "pushovers.
Fortunately, we are not overly blessed with eager alumni who
know more about coaching than does the man who is being paid to
do the job. Nevertheless, there are the pesky few who persist in
1 ' " mt j tt .-a . -mm
secona-guessing. inen, too. tnere are tne sportswriters wno iov in
analyzing the defects of any losing team. Those are the boys that
always have the answer on Monday to a team's loss on Saturday.
If I may be so bold as to suggest, I think the team, the coach, and
the University would all be a lot better off if bystanders would by-
stand and let the coaches coach and the players play. -
If Snavely lost every game for the next 10 years, I would still
consider him a gentleman of higher repute and an individual of
higher character than those who are trying their darndest to railroad
him out of a job by every underhanded method in the book and
that includes all those innocent rumor-mongers.
In the words of Chancellor J. W. Harrelson of N. C. State College,
"Coaches of the right kind should be protected from ouster proceed
ings by alumni and friends if the coaches are first-rate people . . ; A
coach's tenure and protection should be predicated on the coach's
value to the young men of the college and not on his table of wins."

Captain Gordon Hamrick and
Freshman Bob Harden complete
ly dominated the 1951 Carolina
cross country team, which won
three of seven dual meets, placed
second in the Big Five meet, and
finished third in the Southern
Conference meet during the sea
son. -
Hamrick, a senior from Shelby,
concluded four, years of distance
running for Carolina in the con
ference meet Monday. Barden, a
slender 110-nounder from New
ark, N. J., should be an important
addition to the middle distance
u uisiance events, events in
which the Tar Heels were weak
last year.
Barden, who set several records
while in high school at Newark,
was coached there by ex-Tar
Heel, Jack Milne, NCAA cross
country champion in 1948. Milne
persuaded him to come to Caro
lina and be tutored by Dale Han
son, who helped Milne reach suc
cess as a runner.
The Tar Heels opened the sea
son by crushing Richmond, 19-39
at the Virginia capital. Barden
took first place in this meet by
running the 4.2 mile course in 24:
35. On October 12, the cindermen
suffered their initial loss to N. C.
State, led by conference . cham
pion Clyde Garrison and Joe
Shockley, who tied for first. Bar
den finished third in this meet.
Two days after the State meet,
the Tar Heels journeyed to Dav
idson, . where they defeated the
Wildcat harriers, 21-41. Wildcat
Tom Stockton, finished first, fol
lowed closely by Barden and
Hamrick. The Maryland Terps
furnished the opposition for Ran-
son's distance men' on Oct. 20.
Terp Tyson Creamer won this
race easily, with Hamrick placing
second in the Tar Heels 17-46
loss.
Ten Carolina runners proved
too much for the Duke Blue
Devils, Oct. 30 who fell before
the -Tar Heels, 22-36. Barden and
Hamrick tied for first place. Four
days later, the Tennessee distance
with Swede Alf Holmberg setting
a new course record.
The UNC cindermen captured
second place in the Big Five meet
which was won by the State ha
riers.. Hamrick finished fourth in
this meet, coming in behind Gar
rison, Shockley, and Stockton.
Last Saturday the Tar Heels,
minus their top six men, were
nipped by the Virginia Cavalier
Ransom's men finshed third in
the Southern Conference meet tut
Duke Monday. Barden placed
sixth, trailing Garrison and Terp
Creamer, John Tibbets, and Al
Buehler and Stockton of David
son. '

Dure the meeting takes place. They guide the
pilotless missile to within lethal range of the
plane, then explode it.
This teaming of intricate tracking and com
puting devices was made possible by teammg

was developed for Army Ordnance by the Bell
Telephone Laboratories and the Western Elec
tric Company, close-working research and
manufacturing units of the Bell System.
It's just one of the many important military
projects being entrusted to the Bell System.
