No Crying At State This Season Feathers Abandons Wall
Raleigh Aug 22 There will be no need for crying towels at North Carolina State this year coach Beattie Feathers says. The former Tennessee star rejects doom saying NC State will be capable of a good season with no set ups and will have to work hard to shape up for a rough schedule starting Sept 24 against North Carolina. Feathers notes twenty two sophomores among 50 candidates reporting Sept. 1 and emphasizes confidence and hustle as keys to success. He avoids predicting wins while noting stronger material and an improved backfield ahead.
