There are some bright spots though. Compared to last year when Dietzel arrived at the con clusion of spring practice, the staff is now much better ac quainted with the players' poten tial and abilities. The team is also In much better physical condition than last year. Players have been attending a vol antary physical education class since February and have under taken a rigorous program of exer cises and running. Dietzel terms the backfield duo of Ben Garnto and llenny Gallo way a:: "as good a pair a; exists in the ACC. They more than proved themselves last year when we had to call on them so often, and they re -ponded brilliantly (Galloway 58:) yards r.shing, Garnto 440) despite the pounding they took." Another b a c k f i e I d stalwart should be quarterback Mike Fair. The coaches are also hopeful for rhampionship performances from such other halfback aspirants as Wally Medlin, Rudy Holloman and [lob Harris.
