For instance there's Paul Stom baugh of Furman leading the na tion in punting for the second straight year. Charlie Justice, North Carolina's great ace, is right behind Stombaugh. Art Weiner, another North Caro lina man, leads the country in pass receiving. Baylor's Isom is fourth in this department. Gamecock fans will remember Isom especially. He is the boy who made a diving catch in the end zone, while covered by two Gamecock players. Miami, an opponent in the near future, is first in the nation in pass defense.

Strickland Bid With High Ru Bouncing Bishop Strickland, halfback, is bouncing his way as statistics show. According land averaged 6.3 yards per att Strickland, one of the best today, is making a habit of rolling up high yardage against big time o)pposition. During his freshman year, he moved the ball 5.4 yards per carry in 97 ltgs of the pigskin. Last season his average fell to a desperate 4.8 yards per try, not had in any league, and this season he appears to be breaking the 6.0 mark. The Bishop, through the Clemson game, has gained a total of 307 yards while losing only 11, for a net gain of 296 yards. These figures are impressive and they hear out Ilead Coach Rex En .ight's statement before the season that his backs could scamper with the best of them.

LUPM( November 4, 1949 L Furman e Tonight - to be potent so far this year, and much material for varsity lines of the future is expected to come from the freshman forward wall. Such big fellows as tackles Earley (205 pounds), and Hugh' Merck (220); guards Guy Nichols (1vu), Fred Carter (195), and Jim Finison (210) ; center Chick Angioli (200) ; and ends Duckett (186) and Frank Tobin (194) would prove valuable on almost any varsity squad after a little experience. The Biddie backfield, led by Hootie Johnson of Greenwood, looked good in racking up four touchdowns against Clemson and much is expected from them in to night's contest. In addition to Johnson, the play of halfback Frank Kerschner and fullback Howard Hostetler stood out against Clemson. Little is known of the strength of the Furman freshmen, except that they defeated the Citadel frosh 7-6 in their last outing. can win Annual VIORRIS I, ESTI edict? i (Fla.) ington e Dame !Lot Ciparetiel at1 Do Luxe Coui.
