Shy of Backfield Veterans : Optimism Is Rampant in Big Six LINE 1S STRONGER THAN LAST SEASON Btate, Where Smith Makes His Coaching Debut, Is in Same Boat. BY H. C. BYRD. STRONGER and more ex- perienced line, with a back- fleld hardly up to the standard of last year, sbout the way University of North Carolina’s foot ball prospects are shaping up. The majority of the men who held down forward posi- | tions in 1930 are back, and, nat-| urally, considerable lmprovement‘ is expected in their play, but in the backfleld it is extremely doubtful that the great cnmblna-‘ tion in which Howse, Wyrick, Nash, Erickson and Magner played | such important parts behind the; line is likely to be replaced soi easily. | But, as North Carolinians reason, no set of star backs can ever go without | a good line, and the better the line| the better the chance the backs have | o gain. So, it follows that even with | & less capable lot of backs, a more powerful and experienced set of for- wards this vear should give another set of backs more opportunities. 1 It is true that North Carolina has Jost some very good backs. Wyrick, Nash and Erickson were exceptionally fast and Magner probably was the most | experfenced ball carrier in the South. House also was a mighty good player. ' All 1n all, North Carolina may consider itaelf extremely lucky if it does not miss some of these men, especially Nash, Wyrick and Magner, more than it now | expects. | Red Gilbreath, substitute center un- | der Lipscomb a year ago, is likely to| be the Tegular center this Fall On| the left side of his line he will have | flanking him Mclver at guard| and Walker at end., both from last vear's téam. Hodges, another letter man, is the most likely candidate for Jeft tackle. The right side of the line is even stronger, with Fysal and New- comb, two letter men, at guard. while | McDade and Underwood. two more let- | ter men, are out for the tackle job, | while Brown, who will be playing in his | senior year at end, is pretty sure to hold | down that position again. There also | is a wealth of material for reserve po- sitions. 'OR the backfleld veteran material is | not so plentiful, although a good many men are left from last year's aquad and several promising players are | up from the yearling outfit. Branch, star quarterback last season, is having | some difficulty making up scholastic de- | ficlencies, it is said, but it is expected | that he will get them off and be eligible. | Other backs who held down more or less important posts last season are | White, Daniel, Croom, Frazier, Houston, Lassiter, Thomapson, McCaskill, Moore, | Ferbee and Peacock. Also a good group | of backs from the 1930 eleven are avail- | able in Phipps and Whitener, Anaucaus- kas, Woollen and Jones. One of the most promising of the end | ecandidates from Jast year's freshman | team is Brandt. former Central High | School athlete. Brandt should break in | the line-up quite often this Fall, even 1t he does not make a job as a regular. | ROBABLY less has been heard | about the North Carolina State | College squad, which makes its home at Raleigh, just 30 miles from | Chapel Hill, home of the State Uni- | versity, than from any other school in the Southern Conference. Apparently | the Raleigh school is sawing wood and saying little about it. It is known that North Carolina State has a good deal of fine line material, | probably has the two best tackles in the | South Atlantic section, but whether or | not the backfield men measure up to the rest of the squad is something not 80 well known. “Clipper” Smith, who helped Tom | Milis coach at Georgetown last year, is | head coach at the Raleigh school. He | was down there for Spring practice, | but has had little to say since that time of what he considers his eleven may do.

Southern Methodist U, at Aspirants for the National Training School foot ball team, who have been working for more than a week on the field they made themselves, are sgain being coached by Ed Crandall, former George Washington U. gridder. Crandall brought the team to the front last sea- son, when it was organized for the first time. , A squad of 40 is olt for the eleven. Fat Sassons, tackle; Jefferson Choice, guard, and George Merryman, quarter- back, are the 1930 regulars at hand Henry Signs, halfback, is among other leading candidates. Another attractive schedule has been arranged by Crandall. All the teams which were met last year have asked for another game. Five games, one a practice tilt, have been arranged to date and several others will be added. Another is pending. Here's the card as it now stands: September 18—Eastern High (prac- tice).

A telling point in modern foot ball is to plan certain of your plays s0 that the initial movements of the attack are alike but the final point to be plerced a far different one. Rockne, perhaps better than any other coach, perfected this idea in planning the Notre Dame offense. Compare the play shown yester- day with this one. Again the ball is passed to the No. 4 back, who spins to his right as though passing T B e Tage ta-n it to No. 3. Instead, No. 3 cuts in front of him to lead the attack which this time is a cut-in off tackle run, 4 carrying the ball. As the defensive right end comes across to meet it, he is swept out- ward by the rushing charge of back, 2, and the lineman. 8. Again the defensive right tackle is blocked by left end, 10. Right guard, 7, sweeps around to lead the runner. What made such plays go for touchdowns was the ability of the Fighting Irish on the side opposite the point of attack to sweep through the line and take out op- posing backs. To this end, see how neatly right end, 5, and right tackle, 6, block their opponents and then get into the opposing backfield along with back No. 1, to cut down the three remaining secondary men. TIP FOR FISHERMEN. HARPERS FERRY, W. Va., Septem- ber 12.—The Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers both were slightly cloudy this morning. | [ N NN B daa B P W o e IR SURPRISE PLANNED BY GEORGA COACH | e Admits Team Strong, Hopes to Mix Psychology With Some Fancy Plays. By the Associated Press THENS. Ga. September 12— Foot Ball Coach Harry Mehre of Georgia has a flock of sur- prises up his sleeve for Geor- gia's 10 gridiron opponents this year but whether he can keep them covered until the “psychological moment” awzits to be seen. Harry admits he has a fine foot ball team. It's gcod enough for ordinary requirements but facing Yale, New York University, Southern California and seven top-class Southern Confer- ence squads does not come under the general classification of requirements ordinary. “Generally, we'll use the same old plays we worked last year. We'll open up on some of the folks and drive 'em off tackle and through the guards for the others. But we hope to pull a few of our pet plays at just the right time,” Mchre says. Mehre learned his foct ball under Rockne at Notre Dame and he uses the South Bend style, mixing in a few variations all of his own concoction He's going to experiment on some new stuff this year and maybe the scores | later in the scason will tell you whether they're working well. ’ Last year an off-tackle play to the weak side from set formation proved a successful ground-gainer, and it surely will be included in Georgia's repertory again. Mehre has a veteran squad ready for the Fall steeplechase. There are ex- perfenced players for every position, | but things will be better if three of his_experiments Ran out right. He expects to use a 210-pound full- back, Batchelor, at center; a 190-pound sophomore, Walfson, at end, and a midget halfback, Homer Key, to fur- nish scoring fireworks. Batchelor never has played center, but he performed well in Spring practice. Downes, Chandler, Dickens and Rob- erts form a fast quartet of ground- gainers for the back field.
