PAGE 4 SUMMIf? SCHOOL WEEKLY A'-; VST -lit Athlete's Feats Jim Harper' J Jim Tatum, North Carolina football coach: "As a coach, 1 feel 1 have to be optimistic and predict big things for each fall. Aftet all, I'm not a millionaire today but thatjioesn't make me gloomy. 1 might inherit a bank tomorroxo. Sports Illustrated, July 28, 1958 We talked with Coach Jim Tatum the other morning, and he didn't talk like a millionaire. Neither did he talk like he was ex pecting ta inherit a bank in the near future. Bui Tie talked like a . man who was going to field a good fo&tball team in September,' with I reservations. I- The reservations dealt with this, the second session of sum- ,,, mer school, for by August 23 he should have a good idea of how Jus first and second squad lines will look. Both Mac Turlington, the i senior end from Dunn, and Don Stallings, the giant Rocky Mount ' tackle, are in school this session for a purpose to regain eligi- bility for athletics this fall. Tatum was quite clear about the im-, portance of these two men: "If Stallings and Turlington come1 through in summer school, then we should have a real good college football team. "We couldn't call our shots, you understand, but we j could go into "any game with a good chance of winning." ; Warming up to his subject, Tatum elaborated, "With Turlington . eligible we would have four experienced ends; Turlington, Kemper, ' Goldstein, and Crist. And with Stallings out the others wouldn't be , pushed enough." He made clear where the main emphasis of s his football' lay in the line. " But two other summer school students were called to mind: "Jim Schuler is here this session. We found last year that he was a great break-away runner, and he will play plenty of ball. And Sonny Folckomer is here too. Last year as a freshman he was great, and he will certainly be a tremendous offensive threat." We asked about the overall prospects for the coming season, .especially concerning opponent strength. In way of introduction, Tatum replied, "We were encouraged by the spirit of the team last year; last season was a long shot, so to speak, because we had to depend on a lot of sophomores. We won three fine games: Clemson, Navy, and Duke, so we know that the talent is there. I would say that we're the darkhorse of the ACC this year. If we're good enough to beat State and Clemson they're what I'd call the "hump" games we'll be good enough for any team on a given Saturday. And 1 think that Clemson will be one of the top teams in the country this fall, but," He emphasized, "if we can beat them down there in Clem son then we'll be OK." We asked the Coach what he consided the top game of the coming season, thinking of the traditional fray with Duke, or per haps Notre Dame. "I just named it," he replied. "N. C. State." Tatum went on to describe what seemed to us a great array of talent. "If the tackles and ends come around, we'll be OK in the line. We have depth at the guards with Russell, Swearingen, Line berger, and Mueller. At the centerwe have Koes and Davis. "We have hte quarterbacks. Cummings, Lowe, Hollers, and Cle ments. No, it doesn't look like We can use Hathaway this season. He's still in his cast, and probably won't play. We can hold him out though and use him the following season. This year he'll probably help with coaching the backs and as the team leader. Halfbacks, andswe distinctly heard him gloat, "look good. We have the so-called "veterans : DeCantis, Smith, Schuler, Golf, and Droze. Then we have Folckomer and Walton, who just got back from the service. We have another service man back at fullback, Klochak. And we y have Coker, Lipski, and Schupin." We thanked the Coach for his time, and for a very fine inter- " view. From our viewpoint, the football prospects looked rather good St least until the season's opener with State. Or until August 23. 1 M WHERE'S THAT REACH, BOY? . . . fastctton in this week's Junior Chamber of Commerce Tennis Tournament is shown here as one of the competitors dives for tough shot.
