Wohrman 0 Blocking T 2nd Consec For the second year in a r< been selected as the outstand and thus will be the recipient < The ACC's most underrated bi blocker in the conference and strong candidate to repeat for this year. Wohrman gained the award in a poll of 43 balloting members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Writers Association plus five coaches. He received a total of 120 votes as compared to his closest opposition, guard Bob Pellegrini of Maryland, who polled 56 points. Following these two were: fullback Dick Beilski of Maryland with 48, guard Ralph Torrence of Duke with 26, tackle Bob Barthalomew of Wake Forest with 21, and fullback Bryant Aldridge of Duke with 20. A total of 23 players were nominated for the trophy. One of the Nation's Best Wohrman has been hailed by many as the best blocker in the South and one of the top blockers in the nation. His quick cat-like motion and variety of methods of blocking have made him one of the most lethal leaders of inter ference in the nation. Hill Wohrman Besides his blocking Bill has had his best year in rushing, having gaincxl a total of 302 yards for a 4.7 yards per carry average over the past year. His worth on defense is always great with his strong linebacking being one of the big factors in the winning sea son the Birds had this 1954 foot ball campaign. Army Was His Beat The opening game of the sea son was perhaps Wohrman's greatest effort. His p)lay against the Cadlets from up around West Point may well be something those Army ends will never forget. During the opening phases of the game the Army ends were crasih ing into the Carolina backfield only to be "cut in two" by the ACC's best blocker, Wohrman. After awhile these ends began to respect Bill's abilities especially after the option play had been run a few times and Wohrman would knock their feet right out from underneath them with little or no warning. Biti Tarrer, substitute halfback, stated, "Those Army ends were really crashing in the first part of the game but after awhile they would just sort of drop back and wait for the p)lay rather than have Bill e'ut their legs off." 'That No. 36' Wohrman's f o o t b a I I talent gained him the job of co-capba&in for the 1954 season along with tackle Harr'y Lovell. Wohrmn servedl his team well and was the man who was looked to in many instances for leadership and adl vice throughout the seaaon. The abilities which W'ohrmnan has displayed in the realm of blocking have gained much notice from opposing players as well as his own teammates. In post game interviews the name of Wohrman or "that No. 36" will be mentioned and little backs like Carl Brazell, Mike Ceskey, and others have found it pretty easy to maneuver w'hen "that No. 36" is on the jersey of the man in front of them as they scamper down the aops Jacob rophy For utive Year ow fullback Bill Wohrman has ing blocker in the conference f the Jacobs Blocking Trophy. ill player was chosen the best the State, last year, and is a the honors in the State again Swim Team Begins Work For Opener Coach Jimmie Ratliff has been putting the swimmers and divers through their paces over the last several weeks in preparation for their opening meet Jan. 7 with North Carolina.

The man who has been selected as the Player of this Week is Mike Caskey who distinguished himself throughout the game against The Citadel on both offense and de fense the entire afternoon. On offense the "Masked Marvel" was seen flashing through the line and around end all day. He was the game's leading ground gainer carrying the ball 11 times and picking up 104 yards for an average of 9.4 yards per carry. This brought his season's total to 556 yards, making him the fourth player in Carolina history to have gained over 500 yards in a single season since the war. Mike brought the crowd to its feet on two occasions when he sped through the line for 32 yards in the third frame and picked 19 yards on another dazzling run late in the game. The first run was the longest of the (lay and saw Caskey almost get away but he could not get by the safety man, and was brought down on The Citadel 32. On defense Mike was a big factor in the Birds' win. He hurt his hack early in the game but showed no signs of injury later in the game when he intercepted a Citadel aerial and ran it back 10 yards to set up a touchdown.

He died of a heart attack in a hotel following a big spaghetti dinner. Sparks was a 6-foot-i-inch, 236 pounder, from Laurin, Ohio, who played defensive guard for the Roosters from 1948-50 and made f All-Conference his senior year. j He played for the San Francisco ' 49ers the year after he graduated as a (lefcnsive guard and then was drafted. He played two years in the Army for the powerful Fort Lee, Va., eleven. - After his dis charge the 49eFrs traded him to the Redskins where he had been performing on both offense and defense at guard and tackle. He g was 26 years old. S I< A Bad Heart P A coroner's report showed that n his death was not caused from any v football activity but was an old JI ailment which he has had for a long time which was invisible to e a doctor during ordinary medical examinations. Sparks complained r of some stomach pains last Satur- N day but did nothing for them.-The t coroner stated that these pains were probably a mild heart attack and had he gone to a doctor he ( may possibly have delayed his ' death for six to seven months. Sparks was a consistent but underrated performer for the Red- ( skins seeing almost 60-minute b action in every game.

Prickett was able to complete four passes in the game and tie Johnny Gramling's record of 68 comple tions during a season.
