Six weeks of intense training are in line in preparation for the eleven-game schedule to be faced this fall.

Norman of the frosh team and Backfield Coach VVhitey Rawl will assist Laval in* the training. Four full teams arc expected to be formed and kept in reserve for the long fall grind. A return to the crazy-quilt formation is expected and a number of new men arc to be seen in the backfield. It is thought that Captain Fuzz Freeman will be placed at fullback, replacing former Captain Miles Blount who graduates in June, although several regular fullbacks will be available. Those reporting for practice were: Varsitymen: Kcrpec, Brantley, Meers, McManus, Johnson, Huskey, Raby, Freeman, Moorehead, Fortson, Correll, Hajek, Gilmore, J.

Two Lettermen Initiated Seven regulars of the 1931 varsity .football eleven arc among the sophoinores who have refused bids to the Block "C" club because of their unwillingness to undergo the initiation proceedings. Only two men were initiated at the regular meeting for that purpose, Charlie Bushaw, cheerleader, and Dick Shinn, varsity quarterback' from Athens, Texas. Among those refusing the bids are Earl Clary, all-state halfback, Nolan Raby, all-state end, Fred Hambright, who was awarded the Jacobs trophy as the best blocking back in the state, Joe Shinn, varsity center, Bob Robbins and Bill Barrentine, fullbacks, Grayson Wolfe, mentioned for allAmerican, Dave Meers, all-state tackle, Bifddy Moorehead and Nelson Fortson, linesmen. The question has arisen as to whether the men will be allowed to wear the gold footballs awarded with the Block "C's." The athletic board is expected to decide this question soon. Six-Club State League Assured A six-club all-state college baseball league is almost assured with the definite entrance of P. C. and the approval of the Furman athletic board practically a certainty. The league, to be composed of Carolina, Clemson, Newberry, and Erskinc, P. C., and Furman, will keep records of individual teams and players. Each team will play every other team four games, two at home and two in the visitor's grounds scheduling a total of 20 games for each member.
