Switch To T The Tar Heels switch to the T has been complete, and they took to it fairly well in spring practice, but Barclay and head coach Carl Snavely are still in the dark about a quarterback. Three returnees, Charlie Motta, Dick Lackey, and Carmen An nillo all have seen a lot of ac tion at the quarterback slot, but a freshman, Marshall Newman, may get the starting berth this Saturday. Newman was an All- Stater from Clinton last year. Backs Look Good The Tar Heels look1 good in the other backfield positions, with a host of hard runners returning plus an, occasional new face. Lar ry Parker and Connie Gravitte, last year's brightest freshmen plus John Gaylord, a fullback with a 3.5 rushing average last year are among the candidates for right half. Co-captain Bud "Wallace is returning at fullback, but Harold "Bull" Davidson may end up in that slot. Bob White and Billy Williams are the top candidates for left half. Carolina's line should be great ly improved over last year's, with most of the men returning and another year of experience under their belts. Tackle was hit the hardest by graduation, and is still a problem to the coaches. Co- Captain George Norris, Carolina's pre-season candidate for All America, is the leading left end, but he was used principally on defense last year. Lou Darnell and Jeff Newton are also out standing at left end. Others Vie Francis Fredere and Don Mc Cormick are vieing for the left tackle post, and two conversions seem to be leading at left guard, Chuck Ellenwood, a freshman end, and George Foti, outstanding freshman blockingback, are the converted guards. Center is an other question mark, with the graduation of Andy Miketa leav ing that spot wide open. Bil Kirkman and Doug Bruton are the top contenders. The right side of the line looks good, with Tom Higgins and Wil. Alexander holding down right guard, and Ken Yarborough and Thad Eure leading right tackles Right end is undecided, with Dick Starner, Benny Walser, and Bill Baker, plus others in the fight. With Captains Ben Tison and Barry Kalb leading the way, the Carolina soccer team is planning a successful season. Coach Alan Moore has a ten game schedule, with Penn State highlighting it. Coach Moore has ten returning lettermen. Besides Tison and Kalb, the returning lettermen are: Renny Randolph, Gerry Russell, Burnie Burnston, Hoppy Hopkins, Dave Cole, Don Glad stone, Harry Pawlick, and Jim Bunting. However, according to Coach' Moore, all positions are open. Eddie Foy, last year's Ail American, and Bud Sawyer will be hard to replace. Buddy Myer, Bob Issiacs, Al Norburg, and Ten- ny Elting, who were moved up from last years physical educa tion class, are looking very good in practice. With high spirits prevailing, the team is preparing for a rough ten game schedule, opening with Roanoke College at Salem, Va. The big game of the season will be with Penn State, which will be played at 9 o'clock Nov. 8. before the football game with Virginia. The schedule is as follows: Oct. 8 Roanoke College at Sa lem, Virginia. Oct. 14 N. C. State at Chapel Hill. Oct. 17 Roanoke College at Chapel Hill. Oct. 22 Virginia at Chapel Hill. Oct. 28 Washington & Lee at Lexington, Virginia. Nov. 1 Duke at Durham. Nov. 8 Penn State at Chapel Hill. Nov. 12 N. C. State at Raleigh. Nov. 15 Maryland at College Park, Maryland.

As a double-duty lineman last year he played more minutes than any player on the Longhorn squad, 372 to be exact. He has played two seasons as a regular and was virtually a unanimous .selection for the all-Southwestern team last season. Longhorns Scoring Punch Sinks LSU, 35-74, In Rain Wake Forest will be repre sented by another heavy and experienced line on both offense and defense this fall. The de fensive unit will average around 212, the offense 206. The Carolina football team sports a Split-T attack this fall. It's the first Tar Heel team in history to use this offense. Cleveland Loses To Move New York Nearer Pennant The University of Texas foot ball team, annually a high-scor ing outfit, gave fair warning to this year's opponents that the 1952 squad would be no excep tion as it plowed to a 35-14 vic tory over Louisiana State last Saturday night. A steady rain - failed to stop Quarterback . James T. Jones and his Longhorn mates as they kept the ball in LSU territory most of the night. Jones passed to end Tom Stolhandske for the first Texas score and added two more personally before letting the other Texans show their ability with a pigskin. Grabs Fumble Defensive halfback Pod Price grabbed an LSU fumble in mid air and raced 15 yards to post the Texans to a 28-0 lead before the Bayou Tigers could find a scoring punch. Two quick LSU touchdowns, engineered by the breakaway running of Russ Gautreaux, nar rowed the Texas lead to four teen points, but linebacker Jim Barton stopped a third drive by intercepting a wayward Tiger pass and dashing 35 yards for the final score of the game. Two Texas backs whom Caro lina players will well remember, Gib Dawson and Richard Ochoa, failed to score in the victory but their brilliant running kept the Longhorn attack moving. Davson and Ochoa gained 144 and 128 yards rushing, respec tively, in the stinging 45-20 de feat the Tar Heels suffered a the hands of Texas last year. Dawson scored two touchdowns in that game, and Ochoa and Jones both scored one. were the ThP Cleveland Indians irn!iiiv pliminated from American League pennant race yesterday afternoon when they were defeated by the. Chicago White Sox, 10-1. Big Mike Garcia, the Indians most effective pitcher to date, was knocked, out in the first in ning as the White Sox scored five runs. Cleveland now has three games left to play and trail the New York Yankees by iVt games. The Yankees, who were rained out yesterday, have six games ieii w play. Should the mcuans their three remaining games New York would be assured of at least a tie by winning three of their last six games. They can now win the pennant by winning four of their last six regardless of what Cleveland does. In another American League game yesterday, Philadelphia beat Washington, 4-3. In the National League the New York Giants, six games be hind the Brooklyn Dodgers with six games left to play, were rained out in an afternoon double-header with the- Boston Braves. Brooklyn went into a twilight - night double -header Marshall Newman, Carolina freshman quarterback from Clin- j ton, was reared on a dairy farm. needing only one win to clinch the pennant. Eddie Allen Has Job As Tulane Editor John Gaylord, Carolina right halfback, was one of the Tar Heels' most effective fullbacks last season.

By Jake Wade Texas, fabulous land of giants, is Carolina's first date for the 1952 football season, in case you hadn't heard. And it definitely is a super-duper, deluxe opener, in case vou hadn't put your mind to it. That's Saturday, right here at home. Fans, with sound taste, will be here from far and wide. We've been getting ready. Monday morning I dropped by the daily conclave of coaches. Enter ing the room, a typical gridiron laboratory, flanked with the usual blackboards showing the usual hieroglyphics, a mass of o's and x's, I was a little startled at what I saw. There, standing in a row across the room, leaning with hands on knees, as though any minute they might charge right through the window into the middle of highway 54. were assistant coaches George Barclay, Jim Gill, Jim Camp, George Radman, Ted Hazelwood, Walt Pupa and Art Weiner. Three Captains Head Coach Carl Snavely faced his old warriors in fami liar stances and stroked his chin, apparently in deep concentration. Then he calmly took" a ruler from his pocket, got on his knees, and measured the distance between these assorted packages of brawn and brain. He restored the ruler to his pocket, walked 10 paces to the rear 1 and doodled again on one of the blackboards. The com pany was dismissed. I withdrew quietly. Texas has three captains, no kidding, which probably is not so surprising at that, Texas being Texas . . . And orders were re ceived here to install not the customary one, but two tele phone loops to the Texas bench from the guest box cubicle ob servatory in which visiting Coaches operate their scout tele phones Seems that one communication system will be used for relaying advices to the offensive platoon, the other to the defensive forces . . .

Bible, Texas athletic director and former head coach for many years, is an old friend of "Coach Bob" Fetzer, Carolina's retired athletic director . . . This friendship led to the current foot ball series between these two universities . . . While Texas has played the Tar Heels three times, the Longhorns have never seen them operate from the Split-T . . . Last year the Tar Heels teased them a little by lining up in the T before shift ing to the single wing ... In the three games played a total of 140 points have been scored, 86 by The other time Texas played here, that happy day in 1948 when the Tar Heels won by 34-7, more than 20 private airplanes landed cargoes of Texans in 10- gallon Stetsons, orchids, minks and diamonds, at the Chapel Hill airport ... A few came without tickets, unaware that the game was a sellout, and were unable to see the contest . . . The game this year may be a sellout by the time of the 2:30 kickoff but tickets are now available.
