The Chapel Hill Weekly
University's
Footballers
Open Drills
The University’s football team (
began practices Saturday morn-|]
ing under a new regime headed!,
by Coach Jim Tatum. ),
Mr. Tatum is expecting much;,
this season from a 6-3, 230 pound j.
lineman starting his 10th year in’
organized football and from ,
powerful and speedy halfback!
Ed Sutton who has bordered on
stardom for years.
Coach Tatum figures wherever
you put Stewart Pell he will bol-|
ster a team, and that’s why!
he has no misgivings about;
switching him from center to j
tackle in summer manipulations
of the Tar Heels. Too, he expects
Sutton to come i'nto his own as
one of the nation’s top halfbacks.
Pell was originally a tackle,
anyway.
And he got that ten years’ ex
perience this way:
The 24-year old Pell came to
UN'C from a four-year Navy
hitch, during which he was nam
ed to the All-Navy team.
He played one year of fresh
man football at ShippQjisberg
State Teachers College in Penn
sylvania prior to entering the
service.
And prior to that he had four
years of high school play.
Pell was ineligible here last
year, but worked out regularly.
When Tatum took over, he vis-;
Toned the lug boy as a certain
All-American as a linebacking |
center. So lust spring Pell was a
center on the Tar Heel squad. i
Spectators who saw him in the,
Blue-White game were duly mi
spressed with his outstanding ta
j lent, strength and speed. Some!
contended, however, that he was!
more at home at tackle.
Coach Tatum had been worry
! ing all along about bis tackle,
position and toyed with the idea
of shifting Pell. He made the
decision when it was learned
veteran star tackle Jack Line j
berger would not be back this
fall.
Mr. Tatum has fingered both
Sutton and Pell as potential All-!
Americans, calling Sutton "one;
of the finest halfbacks in the
country" and ranking Pell with
his best at Maryland.
Sutton, the Morehead Scholar
from Cullowhee, averaged better
than eleven yards per carry as a
sophomore, and was the Tar 1
Heels’ best last year with 7.6
every time he took ball in hand.
An explosive runner with both
speed and power, Sutton has his i
spectacular days each season. In i
11)54, he scored from more than
50 yards away the first Three
times he carried the ball against j
Wake Forest, and in 1955 dashed!
7U and 90 yards against South /,

Mr. Jernigan says Snuffy and
Mrs. Jernigan have an under

leluded. “A week or so ago when
! the weather turned cold,” he

room after supper when Snuffy
stationed himself directly in
front of my wife and just sat
there looking at her. I had no
idea what was the matter with
him. But she did. She said, ‘He
wants his sweater,’ and went up
stairs and got an old sweater
we put over him when he’s cold.
She threw it across his back
and shoulders and he was set

and went to sleep. It was the first
time he’d seen the sweater since
last winter.”

Some Chapel Killians like dogs
and others don't. Miss Mary Gil
son is among the don’ts. One
| thing that’s soured her on them
is that she’s often kept awake
at night by the barking of her
neighbors’ dogs. This seems rea
son enough.
A recent issue of the Weekly
j quoted Postmaster Paul Cheek
as saying Chapel Hill dogs don’t
(bite postmen as often as dogs in
I other towns are reported to do.
IW hen Miss Gilson received that
issue of the paper in North Ad
jams, Mass., where she was visit
ling, she wrote us the following
! letter:
"Isn’t your dog article an ex
ample of the tendency to white
wash any fault of Chapel Hill?
Whether our good postmen en
joy freedom from dog-bites or
I not, 1 think you will find they
do NOT enjoy having their legs
| and trousers nipped at. Send a
photographer around Chapel Hill
to spend a day in impartially
observing the dogs. They gang
up and rend the air and comej
near rending the trousers of
garbage men, delivery men, our
postman and any guests who
dare to appear in our bailiwick.
