Tar Heels Rising
If seems that the Tar Heel grid
iron forces are feeling that they
should come into their own neXt
fall, if the weight of numbers mean
anything. Reliable reports from
Chapel Hill have it that Coach Ray
Wolf is beaming again, because he
has six teams he can trot on the
field.
Carolina will not feel inferior to
Fordham, Tulane, Texas Christian,
Wake Forest or Pennsylvania next
wear but Duke is still something to
talk about with your finger crossed.
But even at that, Wolf, a master al
keeping team morale at a peak, a
if bubbling over at winter football
practice.
The Tar Heel backfield will see
the. return of Jim Lalanne next fall
on; the first string, with Frank
O'Hare, Bill Siglef and Johnny Pc
cora. of Warsaw, backing him up at
tailback. And to add further to that
combination will be Sid Sadoff and
Harry Dunkle on the field at the
same time, with Connor taking the
extra slot. Mike Bobbitt and Charlie
Baker add further weight.
The line should be about 200
pounds strong, with All-American
Paul SEVERN at one end and Jim
Mallory at the other. Howard
Hodges, of Greenville, is the new
frosh sensation at end for the team,
however.
These Three
And in VOLTS plans for the fall
of '4O are three Southeastern North
Carolina boys who, we expect, will
play a big hand in the big putsch.
Pecora, the Duplin boy, is being
ed as another Johnny Branch, and
if he surmounts his difficulties at
studies right now he will be a main
cog in the Tar Heels backfield.
Bill Faircloth, of Clinton, who was
the standout line performer last
year as a sophomore, is n of the
lads who will be getting into print
come fall. And, if he doesn't fail us,
he will also be one of the boys who
will be making a strong bid for ALI
American recognition next year
David Barksdale, of Whiteville,
who played with the Carolina frosh
last fall as a leading back, has been
converted to the center slot. He Will
face almost insurmountable odds In
beating out veteran Bob Smith and
the up-and-coming junior Carl Sun
theimer. But you EAR bet on his be.
ing in the play when it rolls around.
There are several other boys who
used to play Eastern Class A con.
ference football who are on the
squad. And the thing that is bring.
ing Carolina in the sunshine again
is the large amount of reserve ma
terial-the most the school has had
in many years.
