Look Most Promising


klmbaH And White AT Tackles?
Gates Kimball, 200-pounder, is
slated to hold down the right tackle
position again, with Leroy Aber-
nethy and Dick Siech, reserves, and
| GWynn NOVEL;, sophomore, as
other leading candidates. Sophomore
Dick White, another 200-pounder,
and Christian Siewers, reserve,
will be battling for Maronic's va
Gated left tackle position, along
with George Spransey, a Durham
boy.
Shifts At Guard Positions
The losses of Desich and Palanske
since Off-season drills necessitated
some shifts at the guard positions
where the line has been weakened
considerably. Coach Wolf had
figured on using Slagle at left
guard and DESIGN at right guard, but
now it will be necessary to shift
Slagle to right guard and to shift
Abernethy, regular right guard, to
right tackle, to fill the spot vacated
PalanSke.
Other outstanding candidates for
right guard are Joe Brantley, a
| Greensboro boy, a reserve center in
1888 VINO has shown fine promise
since being converted to guard play,
and Bill t'airclOth, Allen Patterson
and Claude Meyers, promising
sophomores.
CO-Captain Jim Woodson is
slated to be the chief starter for the
left guard position. Outstanding un-
derstudes will be Bill Blalock,
reserve; and two sophomores, Bob
Stoinorr and Frank Saylor
Smith Slated For Center
Bob Smith, who did such a good
lob alternating with Bob Adam at
center last season, appears to be
we'll qualified to hold down the
pivot assignment. He is also an eX-
cellent placekicker He will be un-
derstudied by Carl Suntheimer, Red
mores, and George Ralston, a re-
serve.
StirnweiSS AT Quarter
North Carolina is expected to do
more passing this year. The leading
candidates for quarterback are
George StirnWeiss, All-Southern last
fall; Jim Lalanne, his reliable first
lieutenant; Frank O'Hare, a triple
threaten, who turned in several tine
performances as a freshman last
season, and Adolph Craft, a sopho-
more prospect, who worked at quar-
terback and fullback last year. The
first three are excellent passers.
StirnWeisS and Lalanne may work
some together in the same back
field. In that event StirnWeiss will
move over to a halfback spot. When
the two are not in the game lineup,
StirnWeiSs is expected to hold down
the quarterback throttle.
Halfback Prospects !
George Radman, a two-year let
terman, will again be at left half.
An excellent runner, pass receiver,
and blocker, he was high scorer last
fall with a total of SO points. Rad
mans chief assistant will be Don
Baker, probably the fastest back on
the squad and an excellent pass
receiver
Mike Bobbitt, Greensboro boy, is
being grOOmed to fill the shoes of
George Watson at right half. In
addition to his blocking, Bobbitt
excels in broken field running and
pass receiving. His chief competition
will come from Roy Connors, a
transfer from Boiling Springs Junior
college, Another good prospect for
| this spot is Charlie Baker, Green's
boro boy.
Sid SadOff At Fullback
Letterman Sid Sadoff, who al
ternated with Jack Kraynick last
fall, has the jump on the other
candidates for first call at fullback.
Sadoff, however is expected to get
plenty of competition from Harry
DDunkle, a sophomore, whose forte
is kicking Dunkle also blocks and
runs we'll. Charlie Idol, the High
Point boy VINO played halfback last
year, mas been shifted to his old
position at fullback where he is
showing more promise.
