yootfcdl Sitce SW \ Remember the late Forties when Charlie (Choo Choo) Justice tip-toed across the moonbeams in University of North Carolina football gear? . Well, Tar Heel supporters definitely have those years tucked away among their most precious and exquisite memories. And Choo Choo's buddy, Art Weiner, the record breaking pass- catching end, to whom the little tailback pitched so many dazzling strikes? . The high promise of the 1957 Carolina Co-Captains, pictured above, End Buddy Payne (left) and Quarterback Dave Reed, gives rise to nostalgic hopes that this com- bination, in the hazardous airways and on the lush turf, will recapture i>ome of the skill and wonder of the flaming Justice -Weiner years.

He had previously served as assistant to Robert A. (Coach Bob) Fetzer and handled many of the details in the latter's administration. He especial- ly distinguished himself in scheduling high ranking football games, made pos- sible by his popularity and wide connections. Erickson is one of Caro- lina's own. A native of Oak Park, 111., and during his boyhood a neighbor of Ernest Hemingway, the author, he came to Caro- lina as a football player under Chuck Collins, the Erickson C. P. oM Notre Damer Chuck was good at the game as a fleet half- back on a squad that was loaded with good backs. His running and pass receiving stood out. After his graduation in 1931 with a B.S. degree in Engineering, he entered business for two years and then returned to Chapel Hill to work with the athletic department.
