ACC FOOTBALL PREVIEW
Murderous Schedule
Top Worry for Duke

THAT some Of his football players
are something extra. You can
tell he likes Jesse Birchfield,
captain and left guard. whom
Murray describes Is "a hell-for-
leather lineman." For depth his
top positions are right tackle
and fullhack.
He believes Bob Pascal, who
scored 10 touchdowns last year.
Is the best In the conference on
the run-or-pass play from half
back. Fullback Bryant Aldridge
gave the Blue Devils many q lift
last year as the star Of the
Ifullback series. Murray also likes
|Halfback Bernie Blaney, q scat
back who Bill says Is determined
Ito be the greatest footall player
In the country.
The Blue Devils have some
backs behind the first string who
have tremendous potential, based
on their high school and fresh
man careers. topped by Fullback
Harold McElhaney. who was held
out last year. And there's Ed
Post, q junior. who brought about
10 near-serious breach between
Duke and Maryland when Muir
ray and Jim Tatum were scrap
ping for him three years ago.
Concern at Quarterback
The position causing the most
concern Is the one that has
caused the least at Duke for sew
eral years quarterback. The
Blue Devils have one good one,
Sonny Jurgenson. who played
about 30 per cent Of the time
last year. They believe they have
the makings Of one or more good
quarterbacks behind him, but
they don't know which one 1t win
be.
They figured It was going to be
Bob Brodhead Of Kittaning, Pa,
the only sophomore who started
Ia the spring game. But he was
operated on for appendicitis July

later. Doctors have said he viii

Publicist Ted Mann had Dale
Boyd, q former fdllback, as the
No. 2 quarterback on his two
deep sheet but Coach Murray
said to change it to Bob Murray
Of Woodmere. N. Y. Boyd was
held out last year with o knee
injury.
OF course, Jurgenson might not
need too much help. Some peo-
pie thought last year he was bet
ter than Jerry Barger. although
Barger was ALI Conference and
the ACC Player Of the Year.
Barger and Worth Lutz handled
the punting last year. and both
were graduated. Pascal may
punt this year.
Problem Keeping Team Up
Perhaps the major problem
confronting the Duke coaches
this year viii be keeping the
players "up" for one major test
after the other. As conference
champion. all Of the ACC schools
win be pointing for them. as II
the other members Of the Big

an added incentive.
That was one factor in the
Blue Devils biggest fiop Of last
year, against Navy. It came the
week after Q magnificent come
back against Georgia Tech. when
Duke scored three touchdowns
in the last 20 minutes to win,
21-20. The next week-fiat.
Most people think Duke and
Maryland win be co-champions
Of the ACC this year. That
could happen, Is they don't meet
until 1857.
