WOULD STOP WAKE
FOREST IN OPENER
Meets Maryland in Second
Battle of "Wrecking"
Schedule.

r University Of North Carolina.
while 1t plays a schedule OF
hard games, is looking to its
~ opening with Wake Forest as
the first important point in its
foot ball season.
The Tarheels have for the last four
years lost to Wake Forest on their
opening date, twice by one point, once
by six points and once by thirteen
points, and those defeats have oevei-
oped a situation more than trying TO
Carolina alumni and players, 10 say
nothing of coaches.
North Carolina is rushing Its team
harder than usual for this early IN the
training period mainly because 1t wants
IN cure its situation with Wake Forest.
The Tarheels are good and tired OF
losing to the Baptists and If real effort
means anything they intend to wipe cut
the sting of four consecutive beatlngs.
And after North Carolina gets
through with Wake Forest 1t mas any
thing but an easy prospect in front OF
It. The next Saturday it comes mere
to meet Maryland, and after tnaI Las
Harvard and Virginia polytechnic tnsti-
tllte on the next two Saturdays:
A look at this list of games Is sum-
cient to indicate that the Chapel Hill
eleven. even If it does make good ana
become one of the best teams ever
turned out there, has few soft II any
spots:
Sept. 2s-Wake Forest at Chapel
Hill.
Oct. 6-Maryland at College Park.
Oct. 13-Harvard at Cambridge.
Oct. 2O-Virginia Polytechnic Insti-
tute at Chapel Hill:
Oct. 27-Georgia Tech ut Chapel
Nov. s-North Carolina State at
Raleigh.
Nov. 17-Davidson at Davidson.
Nov. 29-virginia at Charlottesville.
Dec. 8-Duke at Chapel Hill.
In Harvard, Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute and Georgia Tech. the Tarneeis
are meeting three tough teams on con-
secutive Saturdays. Harvard Is nKeiy
recent seasons, while the. Blacksburg
and Atlanta schools bid fair to have
the greatest teams that have worn
their colors in many years. AND tne
following Saturday North Carolina
state is not likely to offer much OF
let-,Ip. All in all, the Tarheels have
q merry season in front Of them.
North Cardinals main problem IN
building a team to meet the scneouie
It Is to play lies in finding four men 10
weld into q backfeld capable OF 90
ing their stuff" In much the same
fashion that Rockne's men 90 IL at
Notre Dame, inasmuch as they play |
under the sn....- system. This will make |
the third year tina. Rockne's plays ana
defense have been used at Chapel
Hill. and people there are expecting
them to reach q rather high state OF
development.
Several good players were lost out OF
the backfield last year, but 1t seems
that the men who come from the
Freshman team of 1927, plus those lett
from the varsity, are likely to form
stronger quartet than the one that wore
the Tarheel colors at that time, at least
that is the opinion at Chapel Hill.
Young, Terrell and Shuford were
graduated, while it is reported that
Whisnant is to enter the University Of |
MARYLAND Medical School. Whisnant,
If he makes good his intention to enter
medical school, will be the greatest
loss, as he is captain and quarterback,
and replacing good leader ana
veteran quarterback is not an easy
task.
Carolina lines for the last few years
have been strong, ana IL generauy -
expected that the forwards this Fan
viii measure up to previous standards.
The linework at Chapel Hill Tor SIX
years has been under the direction
Of Bob Fetzer, and he has done ms
lob about as well as anybody could,
and better than most men.
Best of the linemen, who are back |
Is Schwartz, star center. Schwartz |
weighs I'M the neighborhood OF 185
pounds and has everything that good
center should have, and, better still,
knows how to use what he has. The |
loss Of Warren and Moorehead. tackles,
is likely to be felt, notwithstanding
the many forwards OF apparently ex-
ceptional worth now on the field.
To sum up North Cardinals prospects
at present, 1t seems that 1t should have
a good team, perhaps much better
one than has worn its colors in the
last two of three years, but it also
goes without saying that 1t is likely
to need Just as good team as 1t may
have. no matter how good 1t is. to
stack up successfully against the array
of competition with which 1t Is faced.
