Shipp _ From page 12 speedster Percy Reeves and Dominique Blasingame. Shipf this year instead of head coat offense full of screens, flares i of his running backs and quart "It'll be a complete change from what they did last year," Shippsaid. "I'd like to develop a ball control-type passing game." Shipp continued. "I'd like to keep the (Carolina) defense off the field. "Our main objective is to take what's there ? we don't want to force the ball," Shipp said. "The other objective. . . is to score some points. "I LIKK a (>0-40 ratio ? sixty percent running, forty percent passing." Qhinn hoc k jinuo utcn c.mi cuit'iy pleased with the adaptation of the offense to the new system. "I think the kids have performed real well," he said. "I've been totally amazed at how well they've picked it up." The quarterbacks have performed particularly well in practice and have drawn high praise from Shino "They've simply amazed me on the practice field," Shipp related "I'm really impressed with our kids." But practice, though it may make perfect, is not the same as a game situation. "The main thing that concerns me," Shipp admitted, "is can they line up under pressure and play with 50,000 fans watching?" THE CAROLINA coaches did their homework during the off-season, with the offensive coaches visiting with the San Diego Chargers to absorb the intricacies of an aerial attack. The addition of Shipp to the coaching staff gives USC one of the premier passing minds in football. Shipp has served as an assistant coach at Florida State, Miami (Fla.), Tulsa, and most recently Texas, as a quarterback or receiver coach. His professional coaching experience is even more extensive. The 52-year-old Middle Tennessee State graduate "started out,"ashe puts it, Jim Hart with the St. Louis Cardinals and Archie Manning of the New Orleans Saints at the beginning of thpir Innif :irut vfill cm-?nnccfiil careers. Shipp then moved on to be offensive coordinator of the New York .Jets and .Joe Namath, serving as interim head coach for the final five games of the 1974 season Shipp went to the Detroit Lions in 197(> and became offensive coordinator under Hum Phillips at Houston from 1977-1979 before coming to Carolina. DeSDite his exneri^nrp Saturday will be a special day for Coach Shipp: "I'm more excited than they (players) are about the ballgame. I'm usually a cool, calm guy, but I can't wait for the game on Saturday." sophomores Todd .Wr^ and | ), who will be calling the plays ?h Jim Carlen, will employ an md roll-outs to take advantage erbacks. , B H BOOG POWELL (F Baseball Great): been giving me c baseball It seeir little different in J KOICHI NUMAZA' Japanese Baseb * i, w i. a 7 -i x tu.
