With one player called on in so
nany departments the impression
may be given that North Carolina
is short of capable performers, but
the contrary is true.
Curley Byrd, Maryland coach, VINO
saw the Tarheels roll up 48 points
AGAINST Wake Forest Saturday without
exerting themselves, said today that
North Carolina had at least 10 backs,
any one of which he'd be lucky to have
at Maryland.
In a stretch of foot ball experience
that covers ever so many years, Byrd
only twice has seen a player reverse his
field four times and get through for
touchdown. One of these instances &C.
Cured the other day when Chuck
Erickson, Tarheel halfback, turned the
trick against Wake Forest. Smythe OF
the Army did it against Navy few
years ago.
It is Byrd's opinion that North Caro-
lima has the strongest eleven in its his
tory. It's line is powerful and fast, with
most of the forwards scaling around $50
pounds Perpendicularly the team aver
ages six feet.
DESPITE the Tarheels' apparent
strength, there is no marked degree OF
pessimism in the Terrapin camp. IT
would be an upset should Maryland
win, true enough. but the Old Liners
Snnear confident of making the game a
real battle. Their backfleld isn't so hot,
but the line is capable Of lot of foot
ball. and Byrd is quite some snakes as
a defensive Strategist His trip to Chapel
Hill was no idle visit, either.
GEORGETOWN is expected to reveal a
punch against Western Maryland Sat
urday that was lacking In the game
with Mount St. Mary's. It was plain
the Hoyas hadn't reached fightlng trim.
and that the teams trouble was more
psychological than mechanical. Critt-
icism undoubtedly has had its effect on
the young fellahs. and if it's true
Blue and Gray team it'll be in there
Saturday with will to do.
Catholice University looks for VIC
tory over Mt. st. Mary's at Brookland.
but the Emmittsburgers aren't likely 10
be soft pickings. They have a lot OF
fight and a troublesome line, E. Rys-
cavage, at end, very likely will give some
Cardinal or Cardinals an unpleasant
afternoon. Against Georgetown ne
played enough foot ball for a couple OF
ordinary warriors.
What kind Of team Jim Pixlee has
put together with Scant material at
George Washington will be found out
when the Colonials open against Man
haitian in New York Saturday.
Johnny Bozek's return is heartening
TO GEORGETOWN supporters, but deal OF
work will be necessary before the slip
perry ball carrier can be of any help to
the team. In the meantime young
Emile Bozek threatens to overshadoW
his brother There were times against
Mt. st. Mary's when he appeared to
be the best back on the field.
Can't. Malevich had considerable help
In making a 55-yard run for Catholic
University's touchdown against Boston
College. One of the most pleasing fea-
lures of the game to Coach McAullhe
was the quickly formed interference
given Malevich after he intercepted a
pass.
George Washington and American
University foot ball squads are girding
for their opening games of the season
here Saturday. The Colonials will meet
Manhattan College of New York in the
Central Stadium and the MethoolstS
will engage Shenandoah College on
field yet to be chosen.
Neither G. w. or A. q. IS especially
confident of the outcome Of the games.
though both are hopeful. Each Is shy
on seasoned material.
Clapper, BerkowitZ, Frazier and Hoff-
man probably will start in the back
field for the Colonials, with Boyle at
center and Eberly and McGraw at the
ends Just who will begin at the guard
and tackle posts is uncertain.
The end and tackle jobs at A. U.
have been filed satisfactorily, and the
backf1e1d posts have been decided upon.
though they will be held down by a
comparatively green bunch.
Walowitz and Field, regular guard
