Duke placed two members in a wrecking crew backficld which boasts husky halfback Bob Pascal, 183 pounds, as its lightest member.

Pascal and quarterback Sonny Jurgensen, 202 represent the versatile Blue Devil backfield.

Bartholomew is a repeater from last year's all conference team. Birchficld captained the Duke squad and was an outstanding performer all season. WILL FRYE North Carolina End BOB BARTHOLOMEW Wake Forest Tackle All-ACC Team We thought football season in Iredell county ended with the Scotts-Clemmons Six-Man Western North Carolina playoff game here last Friday night in the Statesville High School Stadium. But we were sadly mistaken. The two top "games" of the year were reeled off on Sloan Field, Barium Springs, yesterday afternoon.

It was the annual day for the youngsters to take the proceedings. And it is quite a sight, to behold when you see youngsters barely able to carry the weight that, a football uniform comes to, including the helmet, romp around on the gridiron like veterans it the King of Fall Sports. Coach R. G. Calhoun, veteran Barium Springs pikskin on the Presbyterian campus, had his youngsters geared to a high pitch yesterday afternoon against a pair of teams from Charlotte.

The youngsters, hitting the scales at under 100 pounds, produced the best laughs during the afternoon and also added quite a bit of excellent football at the same time. Young Charlie McLean was the "star" for the under-100-pounden yesterday afternoon. Charlie ripped off three long touchdown jaunts as Barium grabbed a 21-0 victory over the Country Day School or something on that, order, a private school in the Charlotte area. But the name of the two teams playing moans little to this column today. McLean turned in a piece of broken field running that few college players and including quite a few professional gridders could match.

That came on a 65-yard punt return for a touchdown. McLean took the punt, angled towards the sidelines in front of the Barium student body, side-stepped several would-be enemy tacklers and headed down the sidelines. But several green-lielmeted Charlotte defenders angled him off down the side. A key Barium block was thrown, and McLean quickly swivel-hipped his way hack through the onrushing defenders and blockers, picked out his holes beautifully and sprinted on down the field on one of the best pieces of broken field running that we have witnessed this season and we have seen quite a few football games during the months of September, October and November some we had rather forget about. McLean's three touchdowns in the first game of the two scheduled quickly told a story that is well-known at Barium.

The youngsters love football Barium doesn't have the potential student body that some other schools in the Class AA ranks have upon which to draw their football players, they have managed to produce a record that shows that quality of players instead of the volume pays off. When you witness a group of youngsters that come onto a football field, several with over-size pants held together with a string to take care of the extra space that the human part doesn't fill, you can't help but wonder what is behind it all. Barium has long been known for their never-say-die fighting (spirit. 11 is a tradition at the Presbyterian campus that has held true for a long time, and will probably be holding true to form for a long time to tome. We especially got a big kick out of one play during the afternoon.

Although he didn't make the TD on that run, what more could you ask for. The youngster was giving all he had and doing his best, striving harder with evwy stride to better his team's efforts. That, to us, tells the story of football at Barium Springs.

Christensen, welter champion of Denmark, can boost his 1955 record to the break-even point with a win. For the match could be another rung on the ladder to a title bout. Christensen has lost two of his three fighla this year, losing to Danny Giovanelli last April and to tough Ralph "Tiger" Jones two months ago.

In between, ho scored a technical knockout over Gene Poiror. But the Dane appeared confident on several counts. will have the edge on Martinez in height and probably in weight also.

We failed to pick up all the names of the Barium players yesterday afternoon. As a matter of fact, we did not plan to even write an article on the game. But alter a little thinking, we figured it would be a good idea to let others know what wo had seen. But we will add this remember the names of Charlie McLean and Howard Cox, mark them down.
