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

t him."
mously elected co-captain by his
teamimates.
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.

Coach Frank Johnson, who has
been unable to give the team his
undivided attention because of his
duties as Biddie coach, has been ex
perimenting with his material, but
he hasn't gotten down to hard work
yet.
The basketeers will be minus the
ser-vices of forwards Phil Cantore,
Crick Talus and Lou Proctor; cen
ter Al Adams; guards Steve Trew
hella, and Bobby Giles, all of whom
were graduated or did not return
to school. Len Ekimoff, another
guard, will not be available. He's
laid up with a bum leg this winter..
.Johnson realizes he's in a weak
ened condition this year.-fie will
probably depend more upon team
play, his fast break, and take adl
vantage of the six f.eet, nine iniches
of his center, Jim Slaughter, to
offset t'he heavy losses.
The candidates appear to be ini
good shape at this early stage.

A newcomer, guard Graham

shown plenty of speed on the court
in addition to being a good hall
handler and he may take a guard
spot from one of the veterans.
Parone, who played with Miller
Tire in the city league last year,
has been coming along strong and
he may have an inside track on
one of the guard posts. Estes Kit

turning from the '47 squad.
Slaughter may find some stiff

who played with Parone for the

last year and a good sharpshooter,
will team upl wvith Cy Szakaesi,

Fans Get Most
Football Fun
At Tiny Colleges
Before the end of this football
season more than 7,000,000 people
will have watched games from
Washington to Maine. 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.
