pect for a foot ball team IN
Il years, according TO Chuck:
Collins, its head coach. And to-
say that 1t has the best prospect in years
virtually is saying the best IN its en-
tire history. The Tarheels not only
have back Is letter men. but . good
many Of them are outstanding players.
Not only Is Coach Collins optimistic,
but critics throughout the South gen
orally are picking North Carolina among
the three or four best bets In the entire
section below the Mason-Dixon line.
Take the Carolina backneld, for in
stance. There are Jim Wagner, 180-
game in which he played last season;
Jim Maus and Jimmy Ward, both Of
whom are big, rangy and fast, good bali :
carriers, while Nash, Jackson and Erick-
son are just about as clever as the
aforementioned trio. although not So
heavy and strong. These six men con- :
stitute q better back1ield than any other
school in this immediate section will
have, and that probably does not bar
Georgetown. In addition, the Tarheelss
have several other good backs. :.
Ray Ferris. picked by many Is an
all-southern guard in 1928; Eskew and
Hudson are back for the guard posi-
tons. Adkins and Koenig, the regular {.
tackles, also are In uniform ana prob

Center Is Only Problem.
About the only real problem that
confronts the Carolina eleven Is the .
development of q man TO MI Ray
Schwartz Job at center. Schwartz, at
around 1876 pounds, has been about the =
most capable pivot man in the section
for three seasons. and it will not be
easy to find another player Of his CALI

him last season, and Alexander and
Bolton, from the freshmen eleven, are
thu three men most likely to take turns.

In addition to this material from the,
versity, the Tarheels have back o good -
many of their reserve players ana also
the whole squad of what was generally
conceded to be the strongest freshman
eleven in the section. The Tafheels
had a freshman outfit that did not quite
run roughshod over its opponents, but
the general results were not lar nom

North Carolina opens up with Wake

modern foot ball has been staged mere
in a long while. The Tarheels won BY

was a 35-yard sprint by the big ano::

that produced the winning touchdown.
