The Birds are windinj up their second full week of Sprinj practice. Quarterbacks, candidate from the 1949 freshman squad, an< transfer students reported a weel earlier and, consequently, havi been working three weeks. End and quarterback seem to bi the chief problems, and Coach Re:i Enright and his staff have beez combing the ranks of the squad o: approximately 80 candidates in tho hope of discovering some brigh prospects for those positions. The Birds lost five lettermei ends at the end of the 1949 season and first string quarterback Harolb "Bo" Hagan is also due to graduat in June. This leaves the flank posi tion to relatively inexperience( men, and drops the majority of thi quarterback load on the shoulder of veteran Ed Pasky, who playe4 mostly on defense during the pas when you & PHil THEN, just take a P a-.o---Y et the nose.

Pasky showed j flashes of form during several of his offensive chances, however, and his coaches have expressed faith in his ability to produce. An un derstudy for Pasky is another problem. Dick Balka, a transfer from I Notre Dame, has looked good in the workouts to date, but he must attend summer school to be eligible to play next fall. Otherwise, he will have to bohunk, according to Southern Conference rules. When questioned concerning the progress of the squad thus far, Coach Enright said, "The men are aggressive, hard-hitting, and have a good attitude." The quarterback situation looks better, but is undoubtedly still a I problem. Replacements at end are I scarce. The loss of Roger Wilson, Cecil Woolbright, Dick Fagan, Jim Pinkerton, and Harry Bryson weakened the team at both the of : fensive and defensive ends.
