Hard Work Seems TO Agree
With Tar Heel Football Men
Hard work lOf 180.

Chapel Hill, Sept. 14.-Hard work
apparently agrees with the Univer-
sity of North Carolina football squad,
which, faced with numerous gaping
holes and knotty problems, has been
drilling intensivelv tor stiff early
season tests with The Citadel and
Wake Forest.
A football squad might be expect
ed to turn up soft and overweight
after an easy summer. And hard
work twice daily in terrific heat
might also be expected to take OH
plenty of avoidupois. But not so with
these Tar Heels.
The average weight of the 45 mem
bers when they reported, a check
on the weight chart today revealed,
was 1856 IL pounds. And the average
weight after 10 days practice was
1874 1-2. or an average loss o. only
two pounds.
Mavbe it's the food Football play
ers can consume vast quantities OF
# and the training table serves Moth
ING but the best. with plenty OF Dig
steaks and other energy builders.
Maybe it's the regular hours and
schedule. Or maybe football players
do harder work and keep in better
shape over the summer tnan they
once did.
Whatever it is. the Carolina squad
is thriving on hard work. and some
of the members have actually gained
instead of lost weight since their
return.
OF the 45 members, the check-up
showed. IA have gained 81 pounds
or an average Of 2 IA to the man.
3 have remained the same, and 70
have lost 121 pounds or an average
of l-3 per player. Most OF the
losses. too, have been among the big
boys who brought back bay WINDOWS.
cts a good thing the Tar Heels
are holding Their own, il you ask
Chuck Quinlan. the Carolina train
er. who keeps daily cheek on their
weights and physical condition, as
well as their most minor injuries and
ailments. 1--WE didn't have too much
weight to start with
Chuck Slagle. Ed Noynihan, and
Jim Sheek are the only players VINO
weigh over 200. and tie last two are
sophomores with little experience
who have lot to learn before they
see much service.
Gates Kimball and Dick Write,
who rank with Slagle as the leading
tackles, weigh 1919 and 1873. The two
heaviest guards, Julian Brantley and
Bob Stoinoff, both rockies, weigh
199 and 1913, although they reported
slightly over 200.
On the brighter side, however, the
first team at least will be fairly
uniform and speedy. The linemen
ranger from Jim Mallory at end at
IT'S to Kimball and Slagle in the
200-pound class and average 1873.
And the backs run from George
Stirnweiss and George Rad,nan at
ITS to Sid Sadoff at 100 and average

Wake Forest and several Of their
major opponents will have an ad-
vantage of several pounds to the
man, but the Tar Heels hope to make
up for their size with their speed
and fight. The first team has been
coming along slowly but gradually,
but Coach Wolf has been hampered
in his work the last few days by a
flock of minor injuries, and the
SQUAD still have much to do before
it is ready for the Bulldogs and
