TftR HEELGLUB' Wild Bill Scores Three Touchdowns As Cavaliers Win, 28-7 22,000 WATCH GAME CHAPEL HILL, N. Nov. Bill Dudley, the touchdown tabulator, today turned in one of the most amazing performances ever witnessed in Kenan stadium, as he led Virginia to a crushing 28-7 victory over North Carolina in a traditional-packed Turkey day game, witnessed by 22,000 spectators.

The 19 year old Bluefield. W. bullet, winding up his college ca reer, had perhaps his greatest day. He scored three touchdowns, passed for a fourth, and kicked four extrrg points. When Dudley left the game two minutes before the closing whistle, his team mates, rushed off the bench and carried him triumphantly on their shoulders to the sidelines, while the spectators gave him a ris--, ing ovation.

BOOSTS BOWL HOPES The victory gave a considerable boost to Virginia's bowl hopes. The Cavaliers have won eight games and lost only one to Yale by a 21-8 score. a Wild Bill entered today's game as the nation's highest scorer, with 112 points to his credit for the season, his 22 points against North Carolina, boosted his total to 134. To say that Dudley was the margin of victory for the Virginia, team would be putting it mildly? It's just impossible to imagine what the Cavaliers would be like without Bill. Virginia's first touchdown came after seven minutes of the first quarter.

Dudley's play set it up, and Dudley finally tossed a pass to BilO Preston, which was good for 21 yards. Two minutes later the 170-pound youngster went around right end for 67 yards and touchdown No. 2. Four or five tacklers had. shot at him, but Bill foxed them one one with a tricky change of pacfe he scored standing up, grinning over his shoulder.

BILL SCAMPERS AGAIN In the third quarter. Bill did it again only more so. This time he went around end for 79 yards anA touchdown No, 3. Again he made the tacklers miss with his change of pace, but this time he didn't grin. Too tired, maybe.

And in the fourth quarter, after two of his mates Howard Goodwin and Herbert N. Munhall, Jr. had. hit the line for a total of only foul" Bill showed them how it should be done by diving across from the three for touchdown No. 4.

North Carolina's lone score came at the end of the first quarter when-Hugh Cox, a sophomore, passed fofl six yards to IJave Barksdale. Harry Dunkle kicked the extra point. If. II. HOLDS TIE WITH DEVILS RICHMOND, Nov.

20. () Five family games in the Southern-Conference today changed thai championship picture but little with William and Mary's Indians maintaining thelr deadlock with Duke at the top or the heap and other favorites coming through about as expected. W. and Indians toppled Rich-S mond 33-3 for their fourth loop triumph of the season. They have one more to go share in the meeting North Carolina State next week.

20. Prior to Clemson's game with Wake Forest, Tiger triple threater Booty Payne was the nation's 15th performer in running and passing offense. Payne stepped off 102 yards running and passed for 107 more against the Deacons to give him a total yardage of 919 for the seven games. mad Eighth Grader Steals Spotlight In Winning Play From Veterans RAIN CUTS CROWD Bv SCOOP LATIMER (Sports Editor The -News) A Junior High eighth grader. Dick Hendley took the bull by the boms and a football by the straps from seasoned veterans on Sirrine field yesterday to spring Greenville High's Red Raiders to a 6-0 victory over Parker's Golden Tornado in the city's annual gridiron classic.

The rivals see-sawed before the fascinated gaze of 12,000 in what was about to produce a scoreless deadlock of a strenuously played game when Hendley, on a reverse from Furman Riddle, circled around rainbow blocking for 34 yards to score a touchdown in the second period. A PICKET LINE So effectual was the curtain of interference screening Hendley that only one Parker player laid hands on the fugitive who escaped this hook to prevent a tackle five yards behind the scrimmage line. It was the first time In the game Greenville had employed a reverse and the perfect execution paid the six per cent dividend. The classic, replete with thrills and offering each team two scoring chances, contrasted with the dismal weather which, officials estimated, cut the attendance at least 4,000. Rain ceased Just before the kickoff and lowering clouds failed to smear the color and panoply evident in the cheering sections.

No untoward Incident marred the sportsmanship of the players and partisans, and the Thanksgiving day frolic gave the big holiday crowd an outlet for enthusiasm which rose and fell as first one team and then the other appeared to have command In mldfield. GOAL LINE STAND Hard tackling, good blocking, fine punting and alert pass defense all combined to present football at its best. Parker's magnificent goal line stand In holding the Red Raiders on the one-foot mark and a brilliant 70-yard punt return by Furman Riddle for an expectant touchdown that was nullified by a penalty prevented Greenville's score from mounting. Parker's Tornado, losing the last three games in contrast to Greenville's three-game winning streak down the homestretch, whirled a serious threat at the outset when Boggs Attaway, who played great ball, fumbled into Maurice Lan-ford's recovery 33 yards from goal. The Red Raiders rebounded from the adversity after yielding eight yards to W.

T. Martin's plunges, grounded a fourth down pass and took over the weapon. It was a double-edge blade that cut neither to the quick throughout the open ing quarter as each threw up rugged defenses from end to end with smacking secondaries. The slippery looting also proved treacherous as Martin and Lankford of Parker and Riddle and Attaway tried in vain to shake loose, or tore through. RIDDLE SETS UP PLAY Jockeying into position on punt exchanges, eighth grader Hundley gaming ground on his splendid boots, the Raiders went to work in midfield on the drive which Hendley culminated with his majestic sweep.

Furman Riddle, a marked man on offense as was Parker's Martin, ripped off 14 yards and his team lost five yards on an olfside penalty. Moments before the half ended the Tornado, with the help of a 15-yard penalty, was set for a scor. ing chance 30 yards from goal but Greenville's Tommy Simpson intercepted a pass to deny the District lads. Another time Jim Collins grabbed a Parker pitch, and near the end the losers Hipped forwards in sneer desperation. The Raiders, sparked bv Black well's 10-yard flip to Hendley and rushes by Riddle and Blackwell, advanced about 35 yards only to nave une anvc stopped mcnes jrom pay flirt.

LANK-FORD'S SPURT Whltey Lanklord'S 23-yard sprint, the longest individual gain by Parker, carried the luggage to the Raid ers' 37, ut trie tight defense closed the trap, and the closest the Tor nado came to goal at any one time was 25 yards, which a recovered fumble allowed in the opening min utes. Both teams, trained to perfection reflected credit upon their schools and the students' spirited Kupport. Coach Speedy Speer's Raiders had a little more zing at the crucial moment on one touchdown play, FIGURATIVELY SPKAKI.NG Statistically the game also was about evenly played. Parker made seven first downs to Greenville's five and gained 112 yards rushing to 117 for the Raiders. Neither made headway passing a wet ball, but the Raiders' alertness with anti-aircraft guns proved a determining factor.

Riddle excelled on defense against aerial attack. Coach Jim Nlnbet's boys completed two out of 12 forward attempts and had four intercepted. Yards gained In the air gave Parker live and Greenville 12. in thia defensive saga the boys who wrote inspiring; chapters were Eddie WHenwL, Greenville ond who Slaved blockers scientifically to get is man; Bcjrry Adams, whose roll- IS GOOD HERE SPENCER PEES CITS 10 UPSETVIGTORY Wee JDavy Throws Three Touchdown Passes In Win Over Cadets ANDY VICTOR STARS CHARLOTTE, N. Nov.

20 (tP) Wee Davy Spencer carved a big niche for his 132-pound frame in Davidson's hall of fame today as he pitched the Wildcats to their only victory of the current football season, a 24-14 upset triumph over Citadel's building Bulldogs. Beaten every time out, except for three ties, and doped to lose by two touchdowns to Coach Bo Rowland's coming sophomore team that had given Army a good fight and thrown a scare into South Carolina, the Davidsons found a weakness in The Citadel's pass defense and Wee Davy went to work on it. He threw three touchdown passes and another that set up a field goal to account for all the Wildcat scoring. All told he completed nine of 17 tries for 137 yards. Some 5,000 holiday fans saw the Southern conference contest in warm cloudy weatMer.

VICTOR SPARKLES Andy Victor, sophomore ace, sparked The Citadel attack, and his 57-yard run from punt formation led to a touchdown in the third period that put the Bulldogs back In the game at 17-14 before Spencer came back in to put the game on ice. Red Bethea's punting largely nullified The Citadel's superior running attack, except for the two scoring thrusts, the big Wildcat sophomore had an average of 44 yards for seven kicks, and an average of 49 for the first five. The last two went out of bounds inside The Citadel 15. Each team scored the first time it got possession of the ball. The Citadel kicked 'off out of bounds, and on the first play Spencer, from a trick play in which the team lined up yards to the left of the ball, ran left end for 30 yards.

Then he passed 20 to Claude Hackney and 18 to Dick O'Hair, sophomore end, for the score. Johnny Frederick kicked the first of his three extra points, in addition to his field goal. Citadel came right back to on a 65-yard march, featuring sprints bv Wingback Mike Newell and Albert Salvato. Hewell scored from the five-yard line, crashing over left tackle on a reverse. Salvato later was hurt and was out of the last half entirely.

Spencer threw a 20-yard pass to O'Hair to set up the field goal late in the first period, when the Bulldogs, aided by a penalty, stopped the Cats on the five. Frederick booted the ball squarely through the middle with Spencer holding. SPENCER AGAIN The Wildcats added another marker just before the end of the half, when Spencer ran a punt back 15 yards to The citadel 2t, ran twice for a first down and then flipped a forward to the elusive Hackney in the end zone. Trailing by ten points as the second half opened, the Bulldogs sprang Victor loose from his 26, and behind fine downfield blocking he went to Davidson's 17, where Spencer knocked him down. Campbell gained seven on an end-around and in four tries Victor scored, going over from the one.

He made good his second conversion from place ment. Returning to the game, Spencer sparked the last touchdown of his college career, though he has been invited to play with the bigger boys in the North-South game at Birmingham. next month. From the Davidson 45, he passed 10 yards to end Bob Smith and reeled off a 10-yard run In a drive to The Citadel 28. There on fourth down, he was rushed badly as he at tempted to pass, but he got, away a long underhand toss as the ends and a tackle bore down on him.

Spencer, off balance, fell sprawling before the ends could nail him, but the ball fell into Hackney's hands on the goal line. The triumph saved the Wildcats from their most disastrous season in the 46 years they have been playing football, and kept alive their mastery of the Cadets, who have triumphed only twice and gained three ties in the 19 meetings of the two teams since 1909.

Monk Lanford at tackle, Virgel Roddy, Jim Craig and Martin stood out with riveting tackles. PARKER MISSES FINE CHANCE Captain Henson kicked off for Parker to open the game and the ball was taken by Freeman who returned 12 yards to his 37-yard line, but Greenville was offside on the play, and Henson, on the next boot drove the ball to Hendley who squirmed back to his 33.

On the first play Attaway at a thrust toward center fumbled and Lanford recovered to give Parker the offense on Greenville's 33. A fine break at the outset put the Tornado in scoring position. After Lankford failed, a reverse Pruitt to Martin gained eight and Pruitt was stopped by Attaway after a half-yard gain. On fourth down Adams broke up Pruitt's pass and the Raiders took over on their own 25. The Tornado had been denied by an alert defense.

Parker put up a stonewall defense and forced a punt, Riddle kicking to Martin, who slipped on his 40, hut the Raiders suffered a 15-yard penalty and the Wind moved down to Greenville's 45. Lankford split tackle for nine and Martin added six for the initial first down on Greenville's 32. The slippery field made footing uncertain and reverses found tough going. A third pass from Lankford, intended for Christopher, grounded and Lankford from punt" formation swept wide to his right and was tackled by Blackwell as Parker lost possession of the ball. Parker suffered a 15-yard penalty on the play ana tne Kaiaers were on oilense at their 45.

TOUCHDOWN STAGE Riddle and Attaway clicked off five but Parker forced a fourth down punt by Blackwell that carried 30 yards to the Tornado's 25. Unable to gain on the wet terrain, the rivals exchanged punts and Attaway, with Riddle's one thrust, pounded out a first down on the District's 30 for the first time the Raiders had bren in enemy territory, just, before the scoreless first quarter ended. Furman Riddle turned on the heat with a spectacular burst through center for 14, stopped by Martin, but the Raiders had previously lost five yards and it was necessary for Attaway to ram the line for a first down on Parker's 33. A touchdown drive appeared under way, but a 5-yard pushing pwialty reeled the Reds back and Riddle and Attaway were stopped at center. HENDLEY SCORES Then came the big payoff.

Pur-man Riddle, Raider back, reversed the leather to Hendley who swept to his left around a solid phalanx of blockers and obliqued 34 yards to cross goal, standing. On the run to glory Hendley shook rwrv from one Parker tackier who drifted into the Raider brickfield. It was a brilliant run and marvelous execution.

Nov.

20. UP) The fancy-stepping tailback who leads the nation's footballers In lugging the pigskin wants to shift to blocking back a thankless assignment- put it no go witn ms coacn. University of Georgia Coach Wallace Butts couldn't see making the shift of Frankie Sinkwich. Neither could university students. But Frankie could.

He volunteered for the job. Coach Butts revealed broken-jaw Sinkv's resolve today, as Georgia prepared to send its triple-threat candidate for Ail-American against Dartmouth, next-to-last opponent on the Bulldog slate. The reason: Injuries, which have plagued Geor gia since tne season start. GREAT TEAM FLAYER "We laughed when, with the team riddled by injuries, he volunteered to play blocking back," said Butts, "We didn't laugh at his unselfish spirit, but at the idea of putting our best ball-carrier at blocking "You hear and read he's leading the nation in rushing; that he's leading the Southeastern conference In yardage by passing and rushing. That's evidence of great ability.

"But we take more pride in other things. He's a team man. On the football field he's for one thing only to play and win. "He's a truly fine defensive back, as those who saw the Georgia Tech game last year know. He was a one-man pass defense.

He fakes well. He's undoubtedly one of the team's best blockers although seldom called on. He's a leader on the field. "There are things some people think trivial. But we think they're important.

It all adds up to more than just a Saturday hero. "He's been on the spot in every game," continued Butts, "yet the opposition has been unable to check him. Sinkwich personally outrush-ed Mercer, South Carolina, Columbia, Alabama, Florida and Centre. He was the leading rusher In every case. "Injuries and -Ineligibilities cost us first-string players.

It put more burden on Frank, but he's done all that could be asked despite a broken Jaw which would have sent many a player to the sidelines. "1 know he's suffered pain; But he ha3 yet to complain. He went right on to take the national lead in rushing and set a record for times carrying the ball in eight games. "Lou Little, Columbia's coach, said Sinkwich could do everything a halfback should be except eat steak. We think Little's right, so we've loosed the wires on his teeth and now he eats steak."
