TEAM IS LOSER By CARL WEIMER COLUMBIA, Sept. 26. Duke's Blue Devils were turned Into white angels by Billy Laval's multicolored Gamecocks here this afternoon before 13 000 spectators on the State Fair grounds and Wallace Wade's debut into this section of the Southern conference was as exciting as that of a perennial wallflower at a flapper ball, The Birds won 7 to 0. Except in the opening minutes of the first period the Devils from Dn ham were about as dangerous as mud pics in the battle of the Maine. CLARY ON PARADE Earl Clary, the freckled faced youth from Gaffney, whose hipshak-ing antics bid fair to win him a place on the stage or in the movies, was the hero of the afternoon's of-ferinir under a sun that would ha' mu SCORE JSM Sk tear" Dixie Roberts, Flashy Back, Accounts For Four Touchdowns Good Line And Fast Work In Backfield Gives Game To Georgians MERCER AFTER LAURELS OLD VANDY CLICKING LINE IS POOR The showing of the Wake Forest line, which was a tower of strength against the Tarheels last year, was the chief disappointment today.

Coach Pat Miller's forward wail failed to function with anything like the smoothness that had been forecast and the powerful pair of tackles, Webb and Williams, found Carolina's shifty linemen their equal at all times. Shinn, fullback, was Wake Forest's most consistent ball-carrier and hurled a number of futile passes. He replaced Bradley, the Deacon starter, and played most of the game. The Tarheels had been expected to beat the Deacons but the advance dope had been that the game would be close. Coach Chuck Collins tonight could have no alibi to offer in support ct pre-season groans and moans of pessimism if today's battle was any indication of what the Tarheels will do later in the season.

Peacock, his relief man for Johnny Branch, brilliant quarter, made his debut in a varsity game by running a kick-off 85 yards for a touch-on the first play in which he took part. Daniels and White did stellar work in the backfield. Gilbreath, Fysal, end Brown were the outstanding men in the forward wall. Branch, whose eligibility had been in question until last week due to scholastic difficulties, started the game and directed the Carolina attack most of the contest. Chandler and Phipps were the other starters besides Slusser, and both did good work.

KENAN STADIUM, Chapel Hill, N. Sept. 26 (AP) Unleashing a running and passing attack which Wake F'orest's Deacon eleven was unable to stop, the University of North Carolina football team this afternoon surprised 11,000 persons by taking a 37-0 victory in its opening game. Led by the tow-headed Rip Slus-ser, short and squatty Johnny Branch and his substitute, Peacock, the Tarheels forced the Deacon eleven to let them take eleven first downs and six touchdowns, slusser scored three touchdowns by speedy circling of Wake Forest's tackles. NO OFFENSIVE Almost totally lacking any consistency on offensive or defensive, Wake Forest garnered only one first down and never threatened Carolina's scoring line.

Duke Coach Thinks Clary 'A Nice Back' And Ham-bright As Well COLUMBIA, Sept. 26 AP) Wallace Wade tonight had no alibis and nothing but praise for the University of South Carolina team which today defeated Duke, 7-0, and Inaugurated his career as Duke coach with a defeat. "It was an exceptionally good game for both teams," the tall mentor said. "It was probably the best opening day game I have ever seen." "South Carolina undoubtedly played the better game. Their backs ran better and we tackled poorly and that's the difference as I saw it.

Both teams were in good shape and both played hard. When you consider the hot weather it makes it all the more remarkable." TALKS WITH NEELY Wade, who coached Alabama's famous teams for years, held a brief reunion after the game with Jess Neely, Clemson coach. Neely was assistant to Wade at Alabama. They both had something in common, as Clemson was held to a scoreless tie yesterday by P. C.

in first game there. The Blue Devil coach appeared to accept the defeat philosophically. "Although I can't I was entirely satisfied," he continued, "I was pleased with some aspects of the game. I though our backs blocked and defended well but we haven't a good running back. Our tackling was somewhat poor but South Carolina didn't gain much through the line." South Carolina's backfield drew praise from the losing coach.

"Clary is a nice back." he said, "and I thoucht Hambright played awfully BOSTON, Sept. 26 (AP) Boston college defeated Catholic university 26 to 7 at Fenway park today in its opening game of the football season.
