with an abundance OF snap. The two

Palmetto team, while the absence OF
Tillett from the Tar Heels aggregation

Considering the fact that Carolina is
just entering into the real football
battles of the season. a letter sent out
to university alumni AS 10 the ath
lctic situation by Head Coach "Doggie"
Trcnchard IS of interest Excerpts
from the letter follows:
Our football situation IS peculiar In
that up TO date the coaches have been
able 10 decide upon only three players
as the best men for their respective
positions; and the captain is not ono
Of them. out OF wealth of high
school material, most OF whom have
gone to the class tcams-large. strong.
but keen, native incn,-wc have keen
competition for each position; but
knowledge OF the game and persistent
physical and mental efforts are lacking
our greatest need at this time is q
man with experience and ability to
run the team properly, and quarter
back. Each OF these we are trying
hard to develop. but We are handi-
capped very much in our games until
these deficiencies arc supplied
40 "Itingcrs' Oh Team.
ITO those who know me. it Is unnec-
cssary To deny the reports that have
been circulated that we have brought
in ringers. / will merely say that OF
the team that played the game against
the Virginia Medical College. eight OF
that number played on our team last
season: two Of them arc Randolph
Macon prep boys of last year. and ono
is a senior, who has been playing class
ball hero for the past two or three
years.
1t does not now appear that VIC Will
have a record breaking team this year.
but, barring serious accidents, be-
levc that We Will make good show
ing the latter part of the season.
Il wish 20 thank the alumni for
their hearty cooperation in subscribe
ing to our athletic fund, and telling us
about athletes In their vicinity and
helping us to get them here. Their
contributions. and student athletic
fee of S. annually, which has been
paid very willingly, has made possible
the engagement of Wilson. Pendleton.
and Bluethenthal. and also the class
coaches; the scheduling OF twelve
games for the freshmen and sopho-
morcs with high schools and prep
schools the interclass games; and tho
Statewide high school football and
baseball contests.
at present, one of the most import
ant matters that wo must see to is
that we play teams whose eligibility
rules are equal to ours. and that the
teams live UP to them, II they can be
classed MS rivals.
ION my part, wish 10 reltcrate the
statement that no athlete ut the Uni
versity OF North Carolina his year is
receiving any inducement OF any sort
as an athlete. Not even Il scholarship
Is given undor any circumstances to
any man. however worthy, who has
| engaged in athletic contests In another
| college in North Carolina the proceed
| ing year The members OF our teams
are given no privileges not extended
Ia all classes of students in the uni
vcrsity."
