A coach sound in fundamentals and ready to take on all comers, Enright has become a favorite among parents as "the coach I would most like to have ny son playing under." As for this year Coach Enright says, "I don't care if we win every game or lose every game we play, I don't want to see a man on this squadI*tuit for one minute. When the going gets rough, and it ap jearIs t hat everything is lost, then hat's the time to go in there and do0 something about it," he added. Enright further stated, "We want to make up oar mind1s to wvin every game wve p)lay, not to be content with holding the other team dtown; it's tup to each individ ual to prepare himself physically and mentally to do his job to the best of his ability. Every man should know exactly wvhat he is .iupposed to do on every play, and we' dlon't want to lose a game be ause some one blows *a signal."

Last year it was the same story, but definite superiority was never established, so the identical com petition was r1fsumed this Spring. Gramling opened up against Duke in 1951, and was in the line up against The Citadel in the see ond game. However, Balka was improving steadily and moved up to the number one spot for the remainder of the season. Gramling completed 21 out of 53 passes for 253 yards, while Balka accounted for 401 yards on 26 completions out of 57 passing attempts. Gramling's main drawback last year was trouble with the center exchange. During Spring drills great improvement was effected by changing the method in which the centers snapped the ball, and Gramling settled down again. He was the star of his team's victory in the spring intra-squad game with several last-quarter pass com pletions that led to touchdowns.
