Gameco LINEMAN OF THE WEEK Faress Chosen After Bangup i By LEONAR Whenever Coach Rex Enri positions, he says they are 1 teams, but when asked about Albert can be counted on. Ht You don't have to worry aboti Al, or Albert, as Enright calls him, is usually overlooked when outstanding players are picked be cause everyone expects him to play a good game and thinks it only natural for Faress to look good. As a tribute to his steady, de pendable play all season and ex ceptionally good showing in Caro lina's win over Tulsa. we designate Al Faress as "Lineman of the Week." In addition to his bruis ing line play, Faress almost inter cepted a Tulsa pass with a clear field ahead of him. This would have fulfilled for him the dream of all guards tackles, and ends that of scoring a touchdown. Last season Faress was second string guard behind Neil Allen and Max Walker until Walker was hurt. Then Al stepped in to plug up the hole left in the center of the line. lie turned in good games against Wake Forest and Duke especially. He was one of the main cogs in the line that held the powerful running attacks of these two teams scoreless. At the end of the season Al was unani STUDENTS! FACULTY!

At the beginning of the 1948 season, Al was temptcd to quit school and go into business in his home town, Greenville, but he finally decided to return for an other year. Faress is not a 60-minute man, because he is one of the smallest guards in this section, but he is also one of the fastest. His speed combined with his aggressiveness and alertness make him a really fine lineman. Faress is very un assuming about his ability, but al ways turns in a workmanlike job on the field. Paress is a keen competitor who likes to rough it up with the hig boys. Crouching close to the ground like a groundhog on a rainy day, Faress seems to get an almost malicious satisfaction out of charging up under the 220 pounders and lifting them clear off their feet. Off the field Al has a different personality altogether. H e ' s friendly and likeable, popular with his teammates, coaches, and the rest of the student hody. He is single and a veteran and football is his first love. Unless the busi ness world increases its appeal be fore he leaves Carolina some school will be lucky enough to get a fine coach. Until then, Al Faress will con tinue playing his same good game from week to week no matter who the opponents may be and for a player wh;oisI taken so miuch for granted by his school and team, he is one of the biggest worries ofi opposing teams.

And the huge majority of these people will have got their football from the small colleges which are so greatly overlooked by the rating agencies. There are approximattly 150 large schools with an average to tal of about 5200 athletes which get most of the publicity. But there are also 700 small colleges and junior colleges with more than 28,000 youths in uniforms. Many prep-school stars are flocking to these smaller schools in ever increasing numbers. They have become aware that percen tages are against them in t4e foot ball factories where eight or ten backs out of 75 candidates get a chance to play regularly. These boys are beginning to realize that plenty of action in a lesser league is preferable to four years on a big university bench.
