Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1940-08-26

invited TO report Tor practice her
September ?, by Head Coach Pea
head Walker. Among those return
ing are IL lettermen, 9 sophomore
and reserves.
The Dcacons will begin the season
this fall with practically the SAM
club that finished the 1889 campaign
the only ones missing will be Cap
tain Rupert Pate and Glenn Crab
tree at the tackle positions, although
Billy EutSlcr, Eddie Woolbert, Jo
kuchinSki, and Tom Tingle, all i'm
purtant men in the 80 race, arr
gone.
Last year Wake possessed one o
the most powerful ground attack
OF any club in the nation, but it wa
stymicd by the absence Of passel
with which to mix up the attack. The
freshman team had what appeared
to be No. l paSSer and it appeared
that Coach Walker would have the
answer to his prayer this fall, but i
was not to be Tor this season. The
promising froSh failed to pass his frs
semester exams and dropped out OIL
school before spring practice go'
underway.
The only possible hope of the
DeacS to throw the ball this year lies
in the shift that sent Red Mayberry
to the wingback last spring, with
Tony Gallovich moving to the tail
Tony has thrown the ball several
times, but he is far from being 6
fair tosSer, and while he will be CIV
en- every opportunity to show his
wares in the drills this fall, the
coaches won't be justified in placing
very much faith in his passing abili-
ty. In view of this situation it is
highly doubtful that the fans will
see many Wake Forest passes.
This passing problem is probably
causing Coach Walker the most wor-
Try as he draws plans for the training
period to begin one week from to-
day, but the shortage Of capable
reserves is another situation he ISM
overlooking.
The first club is expected to be
a good team, and in some instances
the reserves on the second outfit will
be topnotchers, but an injury or two
at certain positions would greatly
weaken the Deacs' chances for sue
cessful campaign.
A change was made in the varsity
coaching staff last pring when E. R
(Bub) Walker, assistant freshman
coach here the past two years and
former Alabama star halfback under
Frank Thomas, was transferred tC
the varsity, replacing Murray Greas-
son who had served in the capacity
since 1888
Greason, head coach of basketball
was relieved of his football duties
and elected varsity baseball mentor
when the veteran diamond coach
John Caddell, resigned last February
GreaSon, however, will still be re-
tanned as a general varsity assistant
insofar as it does not interfere with
his basketball and baseball duties
AT the end positions, it's almost
a certainty that John Jet and Pau
Waivers will get the first string jobs

Carl Givler, Frank Kapriva, Loui:
Trunzo, Tony Balionis, and Beverly
Moscr are the able guards. Givler, ;
rising junior, was the No. l (lef
guard throughout most of last year
sharing the job with Tom Tingle
but now Tingle is gone, Carl is sure
to get the nod.
AS to the other guard slot, Loui!
Trunzo, senior letterman who wa
out most of last year with an injury
and Frank Kapriva, who took owe
