(Photo by Bob Parrish) This year Dan Robinson received the largest turn-out of football candidates in his nine years of coaching. The squad consists of 53 players, including 23 Freshmen. Ten more players reported when school opened. Coach Robinson had this to say about his team, "Although we have a sizeable number of returning lettermen, we must not forget that the loss of key men via the graduation route or transfers to other colleges will be felt. As we take the field for our opener with many experienced men playing varied positions, we will do so with a lot of optimism. We will have many valuable assets going for us this fall, but we will also have our liabilities. During our spring session I was extremely impressed with the attitude of all my boys. They have enthusiasm; and perhaps most important of all, they have shown a great deal of pride in their own club. During the 1963 season we led the nation in pass defense, and because of our experience and depth, our running attack should be improved over last year. On the liability side of the fence we find that we will have a team average in physical stature in comparison with other small colleges. We will not be exceptionally fast, which will also cause us some concern." The reasons the Catamounts should be optimistic are because of men such as James "Red" Seay, who earned his starting position at fullback during spring practice, Van Stayton, place kicking expert, who has won 5 games in the last 3 years, or Jimmy De- Angeles, who was selected all Carolinas Conference Team as a defensive halfback. Not to mention such outstanding players as John Ruta, Jim Hopson, Jerry Adams, Roger Cox, Bill Brooks, and many more who have improved in the past seasons. Adding to the team's prospects aore two Freshmen, Ellis Johnson and Jimmy Fortenberry, both are terrific runners. Also a new coach has been added to the staff. He is John Wike, former line coach at Elon College, where he was noted for his outstanding accomplishments. England Goes All Out To Win American Cup As it was put in the National Observer, "Great Britain has already spent more to win the America's Cup this year than it cost Sir Frances Drake to defeat the Spanish Armada." Their expense is tied up in the Sovereign and Kurrewa V. These two yatchs of the 12 meter class cost $300,000.00. They will compete for the cup in the races which begin September 15 off Newport, Rhode Island. The America Eagle, one of the two America's Cup Trials favorites has been a real standout in the tryouts to see who will be selected to defend the Cup. In the last race it was captured by the smooth sailing of the American yacht the Weatherly in 1962. Along with the new yacht American Eagle, the also new Constellation shows a great deal of promise to be in the competition. Newness and advance in designing are the reasons for the favor being shown to these new yachts. There are three major factors that determine the yacht's effectiveness: Hull design and stability, the effective ness of dozens of sails (genoas, or mainsails, jibs, and the ballooning spinnakers), and the efficiency of the crew and skipper. Both these vessels, like their British opponent, are $300,000 yachts, and they are owned by a syndicate headed by pierre S. duPont, who has estimated that the cost of maintenance, travel, and crews' expenses (The crew is made up of amateurs and receive no pay.) since the preliminary trials began earlier this summer has been about $2,000 a day. Winning all of the 18 races since the Americas Cup competition began in 1851 have been consecutively Americans. The first race saw Commadore John C. Stevens sail the schooner America from Hoboken to England and beat 15 British sailboats in a race around the Isle of Wight. Current rules state that thera must be a race every three years at least, although the decision for where it will be held is left up to the defending club. KNOCKING DOWN a pass is Jimmy De Angeles, All- Conference defensive back, who was a key man in the pass defense, chosen #1 In the nation last season. His speed and agility have stopped many a scoring threat and has proven to be a valuable asset to the team.
