Smith and Joe Inman, both out
standing linemen, have been select
ed to lead the pigskin conquest
of the Whiteville High Wolfpack
during the season of 1947. Smith,
playing a tackle position and the
largest man on the Pack squad,
is a junior. He has played a bang
up game all season. both on defense
and on offense. His down-field
blocking has been little short OF
spectacular. Rumors r that he
may be shifted to end for next
year because Of his heighth of 6 TO.
4 inches. He also handles the kick
ing for his team, and had a high
punting average for the season
past.
