Hickey has expressed pleasure at the return of free substitution and commented: "I feel any rule is good which frees the coach from petty details. Too much time was spent last fall on the mathematics of getting the proper combinations of players into the game. Game strategy should be the coach's concern." Hickey said he definilely feels the Tar Heels will benefit from the free-sub move.

The 140-game season begins April 17 and ends Sept. 9, but Asheville fans must wait until April 21 to see their favorite team in action. The Tourists will break training camp in Daytona Beach, about April 15 and travel directly to Birmingham for the three-game series. After an off day, April 20, for travel, the club opens its home season at McCormick Field April 21 in a three-game series against Andy Semlnick's Chattanooga Lookouts.

The Knoxville Smokies follow the Lookouts to Asheville for a three-game set, giving Asheville a total of six home games in April. In direct contrast to past schedules, the present one gives the Tourists a break in travel. Not that distance between league cities has dwindled any with Birmingham replacing Nashville and Columbus taking Augusta's place, but on Asheville's long hikes, the club usually get an off day for travel, a sure sign that the Southern League is growing up. Four such off days are scheduled during the season and they occur during the times that Asheville is traveling to Lynchburg and thence to Charlotte, or when the club makes the long trek to DiMizio's March 9. That Alabama city Is Asheville's "singles' opponent.

Each time the Tourists play in Birmingham, they leave a home stand In Asheville, travel to Alabama lor a series, then come directly back to Asheville for another home stand. On all other road trips, the Tourists visit two cities for series before returning home. By the same token, each time Birmingham visits Asheville, the Barons travel here from Birmingham and go right back after the local series for another stand in their home park. Asheville's other road pairings include Macon and Knoxville on the same road trips, Chattanooga and Columbus, Lynchburg and Charlotte. The Southern League's All-Star Game Is scheduled July 13-14 in the city of the team leading the league on a designated day around the first of July.

The Tourists will be at home on each of the summer's three major holidays Memorial Day, May 30, against Charlotte, July 4th against Birmingham, and Labor Day, Sept. 7, against Charlotte. General Manager Jim Mills called the schedule "the best one for Asheville of all those submitted." It was adopted a couple of weeks ago at a league meeting in Knoxville. Only one doubleheader is scheduled for the Tourists, at Charlotte July 10, a Friday night. Any other twin bills will be made by the weatherman through rain-outs, and there usually are plenty.

By BOB QU1NCY CHAPEL HILL-Coach Jim Hickey announced today that spring drills for the University of North Carolina's football team would begin on Feb. 17. "The slarting time is a little earlier than I prefer," said the coach, "but the vacation break here this year practically eliminates any possibility of a later start." The Tar Heels have tentatively set their wind-up game with the alumni for March 21. Hickey said the regular practice schedule will call for workouts on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

A tolal of 20 days are allowed by NCAA rules. "Our over-all plan will he to Improve our fundamentals and seek out the players among the reserves and off the freshman squad who are ready for varsity competition," said Hickey. "From a position standpoint, we will concentrate on finding capable tackles." Hickey said more than 20 lettermen would participate In the drills, but that seniors would be excused from the opening week. Two probable standouts for next fall, quarterback Gary Black and All-ACC halfback Ken Wlllard, will miss grid activity because of baseball. Both are outfielders and likely starters.

"Last year this time we had a serious shortage of centers, recalled Hickey. "We shifted Chris Hanburger to the pivot from end. He came through with a tremendous year and made All-Conference. Han-burger's play was a big factor in our 9-2 season. I just hope we can have the same luck with our tackle candidates.

"John Hill, of Greensboro, Is our only letterman tackle. He is a good one. Bob Newman, a sophomore, has the physical assets of stepping in and making the grade. There are several other dark horses. New rorit rr.

"I've been in rugged places," Seehorn said. "But this takes the cake. It's even rougher than Linville Gorge. No wonder there are no deer in here they'd never make it up the mountain." Looking back to the top of the lower falls, both of us suddenly realized that we had just come down a cliff. At Chestnut Creek we stopped for a drink of water.

Both of us bushed by the descent. We noticed fresh tracks in the snow, and we knew that Strode had walked in to meet us, but that might have been a couple of hours before. We continued down the dirt road and soon arrived at the spot where Strode was waiting with the car. It was about 3:15 p. m.

We were two hours late. Was the trip worth the effort? We think so. For example, the U. S. Forest Service and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission are well aware that the majority of deer killed by hunters in Western North Carolina are killed in management areas.

But there Is more deer range in other portions of the National Forest and private woodlands than there is on the management areas, and yet, vast woodlands auch as the one we scouted are sterile of big game. Of course, the reasons a deer herd even exists and thrives In management areas are obvious. The biggest factor is management which includes habitat improvement and protection. The U. S.

Forest Service on whose lands most of our management areas are located, in addition to producing timber, has also a program for improving habitat. The Commission's goal Is similar, but the state agency also decrees the hunting regulations and provides the protection. Both agencies are cooperative, and this desired situation can be attributed mostly to the understanding that Peter Hanlon, Supervisor of the state's National Forests, and Clyde P. Patton, Executive Director of the Commission, have for the problems involved. Both agencies would like to see big game such as deer and bear spill over Into private and national forest lands outside the management areas.
