It's Just A Summer Interlude For Beattie
Throiii'h the windows of the country club lounge you
coulil see tee-shii'lt-il men chippint; golf balls in the burning
afternoon :iin. The people on the porch outside watched a
lanky man with a oh'.ar sink a long butt on the practice qreen.
It was a Summer dav and a hot one for Wavnesville. But for
the man ::iltim on the couch it was fall; the other seasons
are jtt':t an interlude between autumn for him.
"Yeah," he said t)uictlv. "we ought not do so bad this
Kali. Carolina is (joins to he the team to beat, naturally.
They're oiii to have too much power for anybody else
in the conference to cope with. And Duke that's the
Kanie. We open with them, you know. I always respect
Coach Wade and 1 think he's going to come back this
year. They were just like us, yon know, last year. They
started out like a house afire, won four games, and then
tliey got (hose injuries. That's what hurts. They might
surprise people this time. lSi.it I've got a pretty solid little
club coming back. I'm not worried." 1
Tin1 man talkm:: was Heattie Feathers, head football
coach at State inllci'.o and the man whom many people picked '
as thi' coach of the year last season. He was in our town last
week, talkuu; t the alumni about tickets and things, playing
a little roll' but mostly talking football, lie's a reserved,
uiet fellow, but bis l ugi'ed features show that he's been in
some hellacious lontball fames. Feathers doesn't like to talk
much about Ins ow n career but. in his time, tins bronzed man
in the flowered tie was the toughest little tailback of them '
all. He was the toast of Tennessee in lfl.'W, an All-American, l
and went on to set new ground-gaining, records with tl.it
Chicaro Hears between pi'il and Hl.'i". A chuinmg, spinning
runner, I'ealtie was poison in an open field. When he got'
to Brooklvn. m lil.'i;'. he It-It his changc-of-pace was slewing
down a lillli- He was running, into tacklers when lie used ;
to skirt 1 1n-iii easilv. So Feathers plaved a little more with
the (I reel i Hay Packers in 1!MI) and looked for something,
more substantial. He signed on as assistant coach with
Appalachian in '41 and took over the head coaching Job the.
next year. State was looking, for a bright young man and I
he joined Hoc Newton'-; stalf in 1942. He began directing
the VV.dt pack's fortune- m I'M.'.. He has kept 'us husky lads,
in the cardinal red jersey; hustling ever since.
He Would Like To Heat Peahead Again
As he waited in the country club for the rest of the
golf foursome insurance man Paul Davis, line coach Al
Rolella, and Wolfpack Club leader Allen Nelnis to get
ready. Feathers' mind was already on the chilly Saturday
af lernoons in October. Somebody wanted to take his
picture and somebody yelled. "Iley, Iteattie, what size !
golf shoe do you wear?" People were sweating and talk-
ing of i-ii iiii shots, but Feathers had that faraway look. j
He was thinking of how he would like to beat Peahead i
Walker again this season and how tough it is going to be.
"Wake Forest is going, to run from the T." he said. "They .
have (negus and a laster team than usual. They'll be tough, i
too. How many will we win'.' Well." he studied his shoe
laces a moment. "I'd say we'll win about half our games.
When you're plavmg teams like Carolina and Duke, you're
good to win that many."
As always, Feathers will have a line starting lineup
but he moans about the lack of reserves, lie doesn't
feel that a boy can play at his best for over fifteen min
utes. Carolina has an athletic fund which is about seven
times as big as that allotted to the Wolfpack, and in a
time when college hall teams are frankly built on alumni
pocketbooks, you can tell the difference on the playing
field. Feathers is a man with the odds against him. He
knows that bigger schools will toss fresh ball players
against his tired guards and tackles in those grueling
las halves. He has to depend .on, the stamina and rug-,
gddrttks ni flt&t Parting Iftieupi !':'
"That's what I like about Footsie Palmer," Feathers
said. "He's not big for a fullback about 176 but be can j
really take it. He's fast nnd he was the top punter in the j
nation last vear. But it's bis stamina that comes in handy."
Feathers lisun-s flwvnn Fletrhrr will be his No. 1 tailback,
although Option Smith showed ud well in spring drills. Fletcher
had an iniurv which left his richt-hand finders useless last season,
but Beattie hopes the lupine Barium Springs runner will be able
to m on this vear. The barkfield is Koine tn be a lieht. pony affair.
Bowles, the hloekine hack, weighs about 170, and Al Bnzrman. the ,
swiftie at wine, doesn't weigh much more. Al llurvar, the ter-
rifir freshman who eame down from Pennsylvania with a sensa-
tional record, won't be counted on for much dutv this season.
He was a big fullback whom publicity built into a Raleigh white
hope last year, hut wrenched his knee In mid-season. "Worst knee
I've ever seen." declares Feathers.
Feathers Says Clioo-Choo Is 'Great'
The Pick vtill li.tve -nine new hovs r-nmine up who mav help
Martin a lanky center fat I- on at full. Rob Smith, an from the B
sriuari In full .-mil Keener al wine are hopefuls. The Wolfpack rone h
ing staff is tonkin" ahead to the time when Palmer won't be nner.it in
for them, antl fullbacks arc like pnld around Raleigh And Al Hotell-i
the kine-'izctl nev line mentor, says his (erwartl wall will be -.olid
Hotella is .mother Tennessee bov. an ex-tackle, and lie knows the
State system He's ln-in Wacponer at tackle, hut mnvin? Raltard w"
from ruard to replace him And he'll have Bernic Watts, the lfif)-
pound ehunk of dvnamite hack at running fuard
Since Feathers was the cream of the hacks In his own collere
years, it is natural that he Is interested In the youn man who Is
the current sensation one Charlie Justice. Feathers MTI earn
estly that .luMiee was the most valuable player he saw last yeir,
and considers his play at the rlo.se of last season the best of his
career. "He's reallv eTeat," Beattie nods, "because he can do
evervthlnr block, tackle, pass. run. I'll never forget that under
hand pass he threw against us for a touchdown last vear. And he's
got a great receiver in Welner. who reallv makes Carolina go. He's
as good a runner as they have In the backfield, a definite pro
procvect. Asked If he knew why Justice wasn't making Oioa
spectacular long runs last Fall. Featliers replied with a grin, "Well,
1 think I know, but I'm not telling. We have to play against him,
remember."
Feathers has heard the roar of the crowd in his own time. Doe?
he think football was tougher then than now? "Yes. I would say the
Rame was a little rougher on an individual plaver in my day. Now
a man specializes he just plays defense or blocks on offense. He
had to play everything and plenty of it."
Is he going to install Carl Snavely'g famed two-team system at
Raleigh this rear? Feathers looks a mite wistful when you mention

. . . And Coming Up
Slacks shoved their way into a
tie with Spic & Span for second
place in the W-H Softball major
league Friday night and no one
could complain that they didn't tlo
it in a convincing manner.
The Slacks outfit went berserk
at the plate and rocked out 3f
count 't.ii hits to massacre a ha -less
Veterans Electric team by 2:)
to 3 it was a hitters holiday and
t.ny man on the club got a solid
poke at the poor softball.
The Electric club took the worst
dubbing any team has suffered in
the league this year they could
only manage three hits off two
Slacks hurlers. The Veterans
spent most of the evening chasing
Slacks bingles across the high
school diamond.
It was chesty Stan Henry who
paced the Slacks team with a hit
ter's dream six hits for six trips
Henry pounded out two home runs
in the evening's barrage. He also
look over the pitching chores in
the last inning after Haney had
held the Electric outfit to one hit
in six frames. As a hurler, Henry
wasn't quite as successful and al
lowed two of his foes' three hits
during his inning.
