Came early September and the
Tigers knocked off the tribe in
three straight games, and that was
the start of the finish for the Cleve-

them two games behind the pace,

TAR HEELS FACE
ACUTE SHORTAGE

CHAPEL HILL, Sept. 15.-R-
Big Gene McEver, beginning his
first year as head football coach
at the University of North Caro-
lima, has literally scraped the bot
tom of the football and baseball
barrels in an effort to come up
with presentable team to replace
last years better t h n average
eleven.
With but one letterman b C k
from the 1913 outfit, McEver has
called on Ray Walters, husky base
ball catcher and captain, to split
time at center with Walter Kraus,
honor student and undefeated box
er last year.
Tom Lane, 21O- pound alternate
at tackle last year, remains the
only other certain starter in an
otherwise completely green l i n e.
The remaining spots continue the
subject Of stiff battles from a gal
axy of hopefuls whose previous ex-
perience ranges from high school
to prep school to last years junior
varsity.
Being groomed to team wi h
Lane at tackle are John Kimsey,
soph from Miami u, and Bill
Smith, ex all state high school
player from Lexington. The flank
posts appear to be fairly well TAX
EN- care of, with Warren Thomas,
brother of Tulane's Lou Thomas,
and Jim Goodwin, former N. C.
State student, Is the likely start
ers.
Four rockies probably will split
time at guards. They are Johnny
Walker, who played freshman ball
at Davidson; Edwin Golding, for
mer Pelham, N, Y, High player;
Arthur Collins, of Rock Falls, ILL.,,
and Ed Towhey, who played foot
ball and was mayor at Boys Town,
Neb.
A light, green but speedy back
field is in prospect. McEver has
concocted sort of spread-out sin
gle wing, with ball handling back
patterned after the Tennessee sys.
tenn and the Information, in an eff.
fort to fool his schedule of nine
opponents this year.
The starting backfield probably
will include Bobby Weant, a re-
serve back as blocker, ball-han-
dler and field general; Jim Camp,
soph from Randolph-Macon, on the
wing; Jack Foster, ex-Mississippi
State frosh player, at tailback; and
Bob Warren, whose previous ex-
perience was at Goldsboro High,
at fullback.
The starting quart ranges from
160 to 178 pounds and averages
1863, but McEver says it has lots
Of speed and versatility. Foster
and Warren are good passers and
runners and do fairly well at kick
ing. Camp and Weant, McEver
says, could be triple threats with
little more experience and de-
velopment.
The former Davidson coach is
giving the reserves plenty Of work
in an effort to develop dependable
substitutions, but poise, timing and
fineSSe will be lacking.
1--WE don't expect to have a
championship club" McEver says.
THE boys just like to play and
feel lucky to be playing in war
time. But give them a little ex-
perience under their belts, n d
they should be a fast, versatile,
and interesting outfit to watch
and maybe tough to beat"
