EDITOR'S C@RNE College Football Offenses Take ,a A "New Look" Ri Jerrv M""rg College football offenses have taken on somewhat of "new look" this season. Or perhaps it would be more exa< to say that football is searching for a "new look." It seems that every major team In the country is lookin for some new way to move the ball. The outcome of thee experiments has the game's experts guessing. Many of football's thinkers seemed to believe that Arm had found the answer in their "Lonesome End" offen which they employed in their humiliating 45-8 defeat < Carolina, and, more recently, in their 26-0 victory over Pon State. Others have their own ideas. But fans across the country agree . .'. football is in process of changing. Once a better offense is develope< more and more teams will adopt it. This point was borne out in Carolina's 24-14 defeat < Georgia last Saturday. Both teams employed Coach Eai Blaik's innovation, the "Lonesome End" formation, to goo advantage. The Bulldog's first touchdown was scored fror this formation. Clemson's "Bashful Baron," Frank Howard, liked severg plays in Virginia's new offense, adopted them, and utilize them to defeat both North Carolina and Maryland. Oklahoma, the number 2 team in the nation, has a nei offensive look. Only time will tell which of these "new looks" wi emerge as the most effective of the new ones now bein experimented with. "Let's let the season bear out which one is here to stay, says Carolina Head Coach Warren Giese. "Whether or nc the "Lonesome End" formation is the answer remains t be seen." "Once this new offense is established," Coach Giese ex plains, "a new defensive philosophy will have to develop t catch up. Teams have been trying to defense the Split ' formation for 18 years and so far no plan has been thoroughl effective. It's hard to tell what form offensive thinking wi take." TIDBITS Freshman Football Coach Bill Wilsie and his Biddie travel North tonight to do battle with the North Carolin State froih. This will be their last game until "Little Wec nesday," the night before the Clemson game. In their las outing, the Biddies downed the Wake Forest frosh 16-12. . . In the football .locker room at the University of Tennesse hangs a sign which states: "Every man on our team plays on the 'B' squad... 'I good, or 'B' gone. . . . In tomorrow's meeting, Carolina i again the underdog. Experts pick the University of Nort Carolina to down the Gamecocks by 6 points. Coach Giese' team has won two games in their last three outings.

The wealth of good infielders even brings a smile to the face of Coach Grugan who, in the past, has been very apt at the use of the proverbial cry ing towel. Leading this fine group of talent are Velton Champion and Ken Rosefield at first; Cleon Reese and Grif Airheart at 2nd; Bob Bridges and Dan Morgan at shortstop; and William Kelly and Bunky Shore at 3rd. The burden of filling in at catcher will rest squarely on the shoulders of Jerry Frye and Bob Ellenburg. Bob is a transfer student and has shown up very well in early practices. Another new face to the squad, although not to the student body, is Heyward King who for four years has been halfback on the football team as well as a sprint man on the track squad. -Grugan regards King as an outstanding prospect for a starting berth in the outfield. Carroll Norrell, a varsity pitch er for the last two seasons, who has been plagued with arm trou ble, has been shifted to the out field during fall practice In order to utilize his hitting ability. He has been looking particularly good in practice, and is expected to make a strong bid for a starting assignment.

The two coaches are deadlocked 1-1 in games won in preparation for tomorrow's game. Giese up endtd his old boss 14-0 in 1956, but "Stiny" Jim gained his re venge last fall, 28-6. For the Gamecocks, sporting a clean Conference slate, the game represents their -second conference met of the year. In their only Conference game thus far the Carolina eleven came up with a 8-0 win over Duke. The Tar Heels will be looking for their first conference win of the year in tomorrow's meeting. Coach Tatum's team, picked as one of" the strongest in the ACC in pre-season predictions, have lost both of their conference bouts the first to N. C. State and the second to Clemson. , However, the Tar Heels come into their own in last week's 'game, downing a strong South Elmira Changes The most extensive changes made in the curriculum of the Division of Natural Sciences at Elmira College for the new aca demic year are those in the De k partment of Physical Science.

In Good Shape The Gamecocks c#sse out of, the Georgia game in good phy#4cal shape, and Giese considers the victory a psychological blost for the squad after the disabpoint ment of the trip to Army. North 0 Carolina also had its spirits lifted in their win over Southern Cali fornia last Friday night. Giese pointed out, "Befoie the season started everyone consid ered North Carolina one of the toughest teams in the country, and their first three games indi cated that they were right. Their losses to North Carolina State 'nd Clemson were extremely close ones, and they knocked off a very fine Southern California team." Quarterbacks Tops The Tar Heels reputedly pos sess one of the best rosters of quarterbacks of any team in the Conference, led by Jack Cummings, 180-pound junior, who broke Charlie Justice's long standing record for pass completions last year. A better line appears to be assdred with sound play at every position for the Tar Heels. Lead ing the linemen is co-captain Phil Blazer, 224-pound tackle who was picked for last year's All-Atlantic Coast Conference team. Phil kicks the extra points for North Carolina and made 13 out of 15 attempts last year. Other outstanding lettermen are guard Jack Lineberger, center Ronnie lCoes, halfback Emil De Cantis and Daley Goff, and full back Don Coker.
