Dr. Wayne FTynt, assistant
professor of history and chair¬
man of the 1970-71 Scholarship

better qualified students who are

other hand, be may prepare him¬
self to meet a goal, criticize so¬
ciety without being one of its prob¬
lems, or produce more than he coo-
sum ee and thus support others.

Dr. Graves said, should begin

Spring practice
looks promising
by John Fetvy
Football season 1971 at Sam¬
ford la scheduled, right now, to
open Sept. 18 with an 8 pjn. game
against Carso»-Nfwman In Seibert
Stadium. And the Bulldog hand
coach, a patient builder Ms two
yean at that post, Is looking for
his best “team yet this ysar.
•I’m very optimistic about
the fall. We expect to have an
Improved club,* Wayne Grubb said
earlier this week, Ms team past
the midway mark of spring work¬
outs, which have Included a scrim¬
mage against Troy State.
The former University of Ten¬
nessee star lineman sees pride
developing among Ms troops, and
feels if that carries over Into the
fall, Samford will have a more
glamorous record than the 5-5 of
1970. He also feels leadership Is
a quality the squad will have some
of this year, unlike last.
Defense has received much
stress this spring, and there has
been much tor Grubb to smile
about then. And offensively, the
passing game has been realpleas-
lng to Mm. But the railing hasn’t.
•Our offense kept scoring
enough points for us last year,’
add Grubb, ’but we let tbs op¬
position heve too many.
‘Many of our boys have grown
op physically, are more aggres¬
sive, and accept challenge openly
and with more deaire,’ he con¬
tinued, pointing art that moving
some of them to new positions has
plugged some of the gaps.
Among the changes are: George
Dias, from linebacker to defensive
and and fullback; Bruce Hart, de¬
fensive beck to defensive end;
Eddie Miller and Marvin Barton,
defensive beck to linebacker; Bob
Brasher, defensive tackle to cen¬
ter; and
Шок
Yancey, defensive
beck to split end.
On offense Grubb cells the
catching and throwing ’better than
ever,* with Buddy Brown, Steve
Stewart, Steve Parker, Charlie
Clanton, Larry Con and Rick Yan¬
cey getting the throws from pit¬
chers Shorty Trammell and Jimmy
Nipper, both of whom heve bad
good springs.
The coach forts that ’the home
run Gong touchdown pass),* absent
before, will be a potent weapon
in Samford’ s arsenal this fall.
Ball carrying has not planned
Grubb, but be points out a lack
of experience there, the problem
becoming more acute with ace run¬
ner Mike Cobb sidelined with a
