CENTER LONE NEED
OF NORTH CAROLINA

CHAPEL HILL, N. c.. September II.
After putting his proteges through a
two-week conditioning program, con-
sisting mostly of setting-up exercises,
machine bucking and signal drills,
Head Coach Collins has announced
that he would hold the first regular
scrimmage about the middle Of next
week, probably Wednesday.
The first two weeks Of training was
marked by rather warm weather, and
Coach Collins didn't push his men.
Sixteen lettermen are on hand-nine
backs and seven linemen. Holt, who
has played a good game at end for the
last two years, was the last veteran to
arrive.
II appears now that Pete Wyrick, q
second year varsity man, will general
the team in the opening game with
Wake Forest on September 20. Wyrick
alternated with Whisnant and Erickson
in running the team last year.
Branch, the midget sensation Of last
years freshman team, will be Coach
Collins second selection for quarter
back.
In addition to wyrick, the other vet
eran backs on hand are House, and
Harden, fullbacks, and Magner, Nash.
Jackson, Ward, Maus and Erickson,
halfbacks.
The seven veteran linemen are Holt
and Fenner,N ends; Adkins and Koenig,
tackles; Farris, Eskew and Hudson,
guards.
This gives the Tarheels q veteran for
every position except center.

VIRGINIA U. INDUCES
IN FIRST SCRIMMAGE

UNIVERSITY. Va, September IL
A short scrimmage today ended the
second week of practice for the Viz
GINA varsity foot ball squad. The
rough stuff did not last long, but Coach
Earl Abell saw to 1t that there was
plenty of fire and fight while it went on.
Only four simple plays were used.
These are all that have been given TO
the team so far.
Under the direction of Coach Abel
an unusual piece of apparatus has been
constructed on Lambeth Field to help
in developing the attack. It consists
of five padded posts placed at positions
that would be occupied by defensive
linemen. The defensive ends are rep
resented by swinging dummies.
While the linemen on offenSe charge
as though they were rushing opposing
guards and tackles out Of the play, the
backs can sweep around as interference
against the dummy end. Thus they
can practice forcing the flank man on
or inside of an end run.
eleven today without the services of two
veteran backs, Capt. Sloan and Levy.
Both these men are suffering from colds.
Only one practice will be held each
day during the two weeks that remain
before the opening game with Ran
dolph- Macon on September %.
AS soon as Coach Abel is satisfied
that his men are thoroughly drilled in
the elementary plays he has been CIV
ing his men so far the attack will be
elaborated. Today only line plays
were used. Next week the air attack
will have to be developed.

A LTHOUGH she went down 10 oe-

"A Peggy Keyser still remains the

bowling to the ranking player. Helen
Philpitt, Go, 6-3, and paired with
Miss Philpitt, stands ready to give the
favored Crist and Jolley team run
for it in the semi-final Of the doubles
event this afternoon.
It Is the first time that the youthful
southpaw has ever competed In a
tournament, yet she refused to be dis
couraged by the loss of five straight
games in the singles yesterday, and
gamely rallied to take the next two
before yielding the opening set OF her
match with Miss Philpitt who Is five
years her senior and an experienced
tournament player.
In the second set, Peggy battled
calmly against too heavy odds, scoring
some brilliant smasEes from the back
court and at the net. 1t was disheart-
ening to discover that some OF heI
smashes refused TO stay "smashes
owing to her opponents cleverness in
picking them UP at her feet, but even
this did not deter the youngster In hav-
ing another try at it. Obviously she
was over-awed at meeting the favortte
but just as obviously she was grittine
her teeth and going to it with will
Her flashing smile greeted the last point
just as cheerfully as 1t had beamed
upon the first. That is the spirit which
will carry Peggy Keyser far in Local
ranks, II not beyond them.
AS for Miss Philpitt. she played the
steadiest game Of her career, making
few errors into which she was not
forced by speed or strategy from the
