Johnson, of course, is the best
known of the players who graduated
from, North Carolina last spring.
and it is not probable that any other
man will be found to do as many
things brilliantly as he did. Coach
Fetzer said last spring that Merritt
would develop into a greater back
than Johnson, and from the fresh
man squad comes another back,
Devin. who was a brilliant broken
field runner. Sparrow and Randolph,
two other men used in the varsity
backheld last season, are expected
to come through.
Should Have Clever BackfeId.
In fact. those familiar with the
situation at North Carolina are in
clined to think that Mcdonald,
veteran quarterback of three years;
Merritt, Sparrow and Randolph will
make up the regular quartet. Under
freshman backfeld and Bonner a
varsity substitute. are the other most
reliable players behind the line
Capt. Casey Morris. playing his
fourth year at end, is star in that
position: Besides him Bill F'etzer
thews, tackle, and McIver, tackle. as
a, nucleus for line, and a good
nucleus it is.
TIE only one of the missing for
wards Fetzer is likely TO miss is
Rlount. who really was an excellent
center and a fine general on defense.
1t will be difficult to get a man to
I'LL his shoes who will be as valuable
in diagnosing plays and in breaking
up an offense.
Besides a strong regular line it
appears that the Carolina line will
have great reserve strength. Ep-
stein and Jones are good enus, Street
and Curlee better than the usual
guards, Robertson a fine center and
Hamer an excellent tackle.
If the team is due to have any
weakness, according to report from
Capitol Hill, it will be in eserve back
field material While there are several
men from whom a second string quar-
tet may be picked, il is true that the
finding out four men anywhere near
the caliber of the four who seem sure
to hold down varsity positions is al
most an impossible task.
Needs More Home Games.
North Carolina is in difficulties
over its schedule arrangements. Ac-
cording to its list of contests it has
only two games at home-the OPEN
ing one with Wake Forest and the
final on Thanksgiving day with Vir-
ginia. 1t is entirely too long a
playing on its home field. Graduate
Manager Woollen is trying to get
either Virginia Military Institute or
Davidson to switch arrangements so
that they may play at Chapel Hill
So far not much success has greeted
his efforts.

An offensive lineman in order to
take defensive lineman out of the
play must first watch the ball to lose
no time on the start. He must
force contact with opponents legs.
In charging an opponent out of
the play the offensive player can
more effectively carry out his pur-
pose by using his shoulder accord
ing to the side he wishes to take
his opponent. Legs must be kept
we'll under the body at all times, as
this will insure better continuity Of
force. His legs must be also rea-
sonab1y far apart to give stability
Quick short steps after contact is
made are effective.
When an offensive player blocks
an opponent out of the play he
can use his body or legs to good ad-
vantage applying the same funda
mental principles as in charging.

If your center does not make a
spiralpass to his backs-a method Of
swapping that compels him to put one
hand under the ball--a good starting
signal is to have him slightly raise
his little fingers just as he snaps the
ball. AS the little fingers return to
their position on the ball he snaps it
back. SUCH starting signal may
only be seen by the linemen, but as
the main purpose Of a starting signal
is to give the line, rather than the
backs, jump on the opposing line,
this scheme still works splendidly.
No starting signal should be the
same throughout the season. II 1t
is the scouts OF an opposing team
will fathom 1t, or an opposing player
in a game will do so. When the op-
position knows your starting signal
1t will prove handicap to your team.

Until this is done. the starting signal
Will be used quite generally
Some teams use a starting signal
for their linemen only. Their backs
start with the snap of the ball. The
theory is that If the backs start on a
starting signal they will continually
beat" the ball and be penalized for
starting before it is snapped. A line
is often able to get this jump on the
ball and not get caught 1t takes
an experienced umpire and head
