It contains a ready—reference guide to players, coaches, schedule, statistical data and past records along with other aspects of the football program at the institution. We hope that it will meet the requirements for which it is intended. We, at State, extend to members of the press and radio a hearty welcome to visit our campus and see our football team in action. The offices of the Athletic Publicity Department are located in Room 124 of the William Neal Reynolds Coliseum on the college campus and we welcome your visit at any time. Our press box is located over the West Stands in Riddick Stadium, providing three tiers of space for radio and newspaper coverage. We shall be happy to make arrangements for wire service, pre-game line- ups, names, numbers and any other information that you may require in connection with game coverage. It is our intention to do our utmost to make your visit with us the finest possible. Ed Storey If you desire any information not contained in this brochure, please do not hesitate to write, wire or call us. We can supply glossy print 8 x 10 photographs on the majority of mem- bers of the 1953 squad. A mat service is also available to those papers who desire this type of picture reproduction. If you have any suggestions as to how we may improve our service to newspapers and radio stations We will be glad to give our fullest cooperation. Since the space in our press box is rather limited we would appreciate it very much if members of the working press and radio would request space well in advance of scheduled contests, not later than Wednesday preceding the week of the game. In certain instances it may be necessary, because of limited space, to refuse working accommodations in the press box, but we will be happy to make space available in the stands when such press space is not available. Inquiries concerning complimentary tickets for press and radio representa- tives will be given every consideration, but we must impress upon these representatives that our supply is limited and first requests will be given first priority. When our supply is exhausted it is not possible for us to secure additional tickets. We must ask that only designated press and radio repre- sentatives request complimentary tickets and other such requests will not be honored.

CAREY BbSTIAN-w-CHANCELLOR of North Carolina State College. North Carolina State College By RUDOLPH FATE North Carolina State College, which proudly plays host to its many friends this season, is more than a State Institution. It is a full-fleged partner in a national land grant system of higher education. Beginning its first year of service on October 3, 1889, the college has ad- vanced from an humble founding to become one of America’s most highly respected institutions in the field of technology. It was established under the provisions of the Morrill Act, passed by the United States Congress and signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln on July 2, 1862. Its principal curricula are devoted mainly to resident teach- ing, research, and extension in the applied sciences, but it also embraces a broad program of training in the humanities. Speaking in Pullen Hall on the 60th anniversary of the founding of North Carolina State College, Dr. David A. Lockmiller, president of the University of Chattanooga and a former faculty member at N. C. State, paid the follow- ing tribute to this institution: “This college, in cooperation with other agencies in the State, has a definite responsibility to provide the kinds of education that will retain and restore the fertility of the soil; protect and preserve forests and wildlife; keep streams free from pollution; promote industrial diversification and improved methods in agriculture, engineering, and manufacturing; beautify and improve homes, schools, churches, factories, and highways; and clean up cities and small towns. “It is difficult to summarize State College’s program and resources. The ultimate value of 5,000 students on the campus, in classrooms, laboratories, and libraries, receiving instruction from a staff of teachers and specialists holding degrees from leading institutions of the world staggers the imagina- tion. .” Aside from its classroom and laboratory training, State College puts great emphasis on the development of character. The college, has constantly hammered home the idea that the South and nation needs more than educated men. The School believes that the country and the region both need educated gentlemen, and that conviction has motivated the progress of State College through the years. The late Dr. Wallace C. Riddick, former president of the college, once said: “State College always has been and always will be interested in men. The best advertisement of a college is the character and success of its alumni.” Physically, the college is composed of seven major schools: the School of Agriculture, the School of Design, the School of Education, the School of Engineering, the School of Forestry, the School of General Studies, and the School of Textiles. Closely allied in function and administration with these schools are the Agricultural Extension Service, the Agricultural Experiment Station, and the College Extension Division. Collectively, they provide the resident teaching, research, and extension training of the College. The work of these divisions each year affects the lives of virtually all of North Carolina’s approximately 4,000,000 citizens. State College today is a dedicated servant of the people, working hand in hand with other institutions, agencies, and individuals toward a brighter future for mankind. 4 THE 1953 OUTLOOK By ED STOREY Athletic Publicity Director The loss of 14 lettermen from last year and the lack of any real experience among the returning 40 squad members paints a rather dreary picture of Coach Horace Hendrickson’s 1953 N. C. State Wolfpack prospects for the season, but there is still evidence that the current team will improve upon last year’s record of three wins and seven losses. With such opposition as North Carolina, George Washington, Davidson, Wake Forest, Duke, William and Mary, Army, Pittsburgh, West Virginia and Florida State due to face the Wolfpack on successive week-ends between Sept. 26 and Nov. 28, the task ahead presents a man—size job, one that will require the utmost on the part of players and coaches. Most of these opponents will rate as heavy favorites over State and in order to achieve the three victories of last season, at least one upset will have to be pulled off. But the Wolfpack squad of ’53 will have some good material to work with at several positions and if the sophomores on the team come up to expecta- tion, State might be capable of one or more of the opponents scheduled to take its measure. A large majority of the returning squad members saw some kind of service in 1952, the first year of the split T-formation for the Wolfpack. Although most of the group were freshmen a year ago they have learned the hard-way. Some of the astronomic scores mounted by the opposition last year were the results of freshman mistakes, which can be traced only to lack of experience. These same freshmen are back for another crack at major league competition and they undoubtedly will be improved. They may not make the same mistakes twice. Offensively the State club should be capable of scoring more than the 85 points mustered by last year’s team. Quarterback Eddie West and Full- back Don Langston will be the key men in the scoring punch. West, a 195- pound sophomore from Alexandria, Va., played both half and quarter last year. In the Spring game he was used exclusively at quarterback and his passing provided three touchdowns. Langston was the wheelhorse of the ’52 club gaining 499 yards on 100 rushing attempts for nearly five yards per try. He’s a hard-hitter and can pick his field well. There is no better fullback in the Atlantic Coast Conference, according to the State coaching staff.
