om Where I Sit JOE GUESS The jumbled Carolina grid picture seemed to be somewha rystalized until the transfel' of Gene Wagnon and H. L. Gill neath was announced last week. Their detachment places Doc Newton on the spot for a punter and passer to say nothing of a plun.ging back. A possible answer may be C. E. Kudall. Kudall saw serviee at the University of Virginia last fall in the tail back slot and may fill the present bill to a "T A month ago it was the problem of finding the big, hard charging line that the Tennessee single-wingback system re. qw. that was paramount in the minds of coaches and fan alike. TIL}"eturn of George McDonald, 200-pound tackle, tc the grid roster after a two year stretch in the army alleviated this situation somewhat. Coupled with Ralph Hodges, a starter last fall, he is expected to solve the starting tackle problem. Similarly, the presence of Pat Thrash and Harrison at the terminals take care of that position. This leaves the two guard slots and the center position wide open. The men to fill them will have to be salvaged out of the squad of fifty or sixty. Newton expects to report for suimmer practice. Just what will t,:rn up in summer practice cannot, of course. be ascertained. But unless something does. -t can be safely said that a rough @.time will be had by all come \epteniber. * * * Nothing short of a stroke f pure genius could have moti vated the powers that be to hedule Duke and Wake Forest only five days apart. With th Blue Devils sure to be loaded for bear (or Gamecocks) and the probability that Wake Forest will field a squad equal to the taimecock. such an arrangement is tantamount to committing suicide. The leather luggers are almost certain to go home from the Duke struggle (after hav ing spent two hours attempting to hold the score down to a reasonable figure) licking their various wounds. No sooner will they arrive than they'll have to pack up to engage a team on foreign soil that would give them a good fight under ideal conditions. Obviously, the odds are high that the men of Caro lina will lose two games instead of one between November 18th and 23rd. * * * The first word to come out of the Clenson foot hal camp was n A. P. wire release appearing in Sunday's State. According the A.

''ulane. ami (eorgia. * * * To us, one of the oddities of football in V-12 schools is the genius for obtaining top notch preformers the larger schools of the country have. When football season rolls around it is always the schools who in peace time fielded the top teams that &turn up with the best material. Who thinks for a minute that the unbelievable Not re Dame squad of 1943 w,, a freak of fate or that the powerhouses produced by North (a;r(lina and Dtuke just happened ? Was it coincidene that A ii-bam _.ierican tackle, Don Whit mirme, was admitted to thie Naval Ae-adenmv when he couhIdn't pass mathI at North C ariolina wheni stat ioned there in V-12? H-ow did B3rumce Smiith oIf :\liiami lIIigh, who with Charlie Justice of Asheville and Buster Stephens of Knoxville was the hottest back in 1942 sout hern high schuool football. mnanage his Annapolis appointment ? Hov did .hheville's Justice get his protracted hoot training at Bainbridge ?For tihe entire '43 season he alternated with an All-American in the drivers seat of the great Bainbridge team. We cani understand why concessions should.he made to football play'e, and coaches but what we can't understand is why these conteesions- should be allowed in the big schools wvhen at the samie time they are ideniedl the smaller ones.
