(Collins lb 1 Falls Shy As Half Arrives Tigers Look Sharp; Hold Edge In Statistics By JIM ANDERSON (Sports Editor, The News) MEMORIAL STADIUM, CLEM SON, Oct. 5 The dynamic running of Dick Christy, a hungry Wolf who eats big chunks of yardage, took N. C. State to a 13-7 win over Clemson here today in an Atlantic Coast Conference clash before 17,000 enjoying the sunshine and exciting action. A 97-yard kickoff return by Christy for a touchdown to open the game, and the Tigers failing STATISTICS N.C.

Stale Clemson 10 7 First Downs 123 Rushing Yardage 28 Passing Yardage 3-8 Passes 1 Passes Intercepted by 16.1 91 5-13 0 7-35 35 Punts 0 45 Fumbles Lost Yards Penalized by a half-yard to score as the half closed, caused the point spread. A home run by State's leadoff batter, and a squeeze play by the Tigs the big and the little differences. Before programs could be opened to spot the big red 40 on Christy's spotlessly clean white uniform, the Wolfpack speedster gathered in Jim Padgett's low kickoff at the State 3 and rushed like a man about to miss his bus. Christy took about 10 seconds to run almost the length of the field, and his uniform was still clean as a whistle as he whistled in his scoring dash. Not since Maryland's Bernie Fa-loney had opened the 1953 game here with an 88-yard touchduwn run to open the Terp-Tiger fracas had there been such a gallop.

Christy followed almost the same trail made by Faloney. Immediately the throng wondered if it would be another 20-0 win for the invaders, such as Maryland pulled off in '53. Take away the first 14 seconds of the game, with Christy's return, and the Tigs made very much of a ball game out of the action on a soft field being churned to mud at spots, They were a much sharper team than a week ago losing to North Carolina, 26-0. Clemson had (he better of the statistics the rest of (he way, but statistics do not show on the scoreboard. Christy was to aided and abetted by his partner In mayhem, little Dick Hunter, In another Wolfpack touchdown tour early in the fourth period.

The speedy pair of halfbacks needed only three plays for 57 yards as they swept the Clemson ends down to the Tiger one-yard-line. Fullback Don Hafer plunged across with 3:46 gone in the final quarter and State held a commanding 13-0 lead when Hunter added the extra point. Except for that one letdown In the 58-yard State journey in five plays to score the clincher, Clemson defense looked greatly improved. The Tigs were able to contain one of the smartest offenses in the ACC for only 123 yards rushing, 28 by passing, for seven first downs. TIGS SCORE TOUCHDOWN A 50-yard touchdown toss.

Bill Barbary to George -Usry, broke Clemson into the scoring column with six minutes left in the camp. This electrifying bolt struck with suddenness immediately after Stale had gambled on a fourth down run for short yardage at midfield and missed. Usry was speeding behind th Pack secondary as he gathered in Barbara's toss along about the 15. He was Lonesome George as he stepped across the goal line unmolested. Usry added the extra point with a perfect placement.

The Tigers were back in the ball game, dui there wasn enough game left. Stale misfired at midfield on the fourth down attempt in the final period by about the same distance (Continued on Page 3, Column 2) body before the season is over," the coach of the undefeated Wolf pack said. Howard, looking at a 12 record and with improving Virginia coming up next Saturday, observed, "I've said before we have a young club, but it is some of the best material we have had at Clemson since I've been here." He continued about the game, "That opening kickoff return hurt an awfully lot, but I thought our boys played a good game. "It was certainly a big Improve. Sment over last week.

The line played a good game all the way across. "The score was just reverse of last year and so were the statistics. Last year we won the game and Slate took all of the statistics but lo heck with those statistics."

By JIM ANDKRSON. (Sports Editor, The News) Th joy of Furman football followers was at least as high as the Russian moon last night as the Purple Hurricane stormed from behind for a 13-12 Southern Conference victory over George Washington the' most exciting Furman win since a 1934 conquest of N. C. State. A Sirrine Stadium crowd of 5.000 saw the Homer -Hubbs team triumph.

The Hurricane spotted the Colonials two touchdowns in the first period before beginning to hjow. The one-two blows which were to slop a string of three straight victories by GW over Fumiun were the blocking of extra points by Dick Shaw and Tom Avery after Colonial touchdowns. Grant set the stage for the Furman comeback when he recovered a GW bobble at their 37 late in the second quarter.

Kick it he did a perfect placement and (hat was to lie the all-important point which meant victory. The Hurricane defense had to turn GW back twice in tlie third period played entirely on the Furman side of the field. Once the Colonials had a first down at the Hurricane eight, but could get no further than the four.

Again thev threatened to the 2fi, us the third period ended. End- Ray minski, the defender who was at the right place at the right lime, spilled dangerous Mike Summer for a loss to turn back this threat. And after Bobby Aiken had disrupted Ray Looney's plans ith a big loss back to the Furman 32, Furman took over. In fact, they took over the ball Same then and there. Billy directed the Hurricane for 68 yards in 10 plays for the game's final touchdown midway fourth period.

Even a holding penalty, one of several penalties which disrupted the Furman attempts all night, failed to slop the Hurricane this time. The penalty setting Furman back from the GW 10 to the 25 only delayed the score but no for long. Baker threw a perfect strike which Sinilnskl gathered In over the goal line for a 25-yard TD with 7:08 left In the game. George Washington put on one more brief burst of power, busy Ted Colna and Sommer combining for 43 yards in three plays to move to the Furman 42. But that man simimsKi was mere again, making a key tackle.

Quarterback Jack llenzes had to pass, am' it was deflected into the waiting arms of Gene Head at the Furman 43. Furman needed only to run out the clock, which Baker did. And the Hurricane had a fine come-from behind win. FIRST QUARTER Furman won the toss. The white uniforms received, with the Colonial blues kicking from the south.

GW had to borrow Furman's kicking tee. Horton took Claypool's kickoff, reluming 16 to his 34. The Hurricane was a long yard short of fourth down, Head kicking from his 43. Rulsch rushed the kick, which was a low boot direct into the tackle, Bob Jewett picked up the loose ball, carrying 24 yards before being spilled at the Furman 11. A holding penalty got GW the yardage which four plays couldn't.

GW moved to a first down at their 24, where Colna broke loose fur 30 yards to the Furman 46. laypool and Colna alternated in two more first downs, moving to the Furman 25, llenzes sucked-in the Furman left side with a pass feint, then legged 16 yards for a first down at the 5. Summer skirted across with 2:30 left in the period. Averv blocked the point try.

Babe Ru(h set the record of 15 and Lou Gehrig and Duke Snider each hit 10. The Yanks closed out their big afternoon with five runs in the seventh against Bob Trowbridge who had only his own wildness to blame. Walks to McDougald Jerry Coleman and Larson filled 'em up with one gone and Hank Bauer singled home the first two.

Kubek's second homer of the day, deep into the bleachers, brought Larsen and Bauer romping in ahead of him. Stengel named Tom Sturdivant, the top winner of his staff, to pitch tomorrow' fourth game. The 27-year-old. righthander won 16 and lost 6 in regular season play. Manager Fred Haney had announced before the game that Warren Spahn, the 36-year-old lefthander who bowed to Ford in the opener, would draw the Sunday assignment.

It will be Lew Burdede in the Monday game, The hero of Thursday's Milwaukee victory also worked briefly the bullpen today. Steers drove to the two for a first but on fourth down were on the eight. Quarterback Walt Fondren hit sophomore end Richard Sehulte in the end zone for the touchdown. Fondren kicked the point and Texas led 14-7. Texas first and second teams bottled up the Game cocks generally throughout the half.

The Longhoms were on the South Carolina 43 at the half. Texas struck for another touch down in the third period behind Mike Dowdle and Fondren. Texas took the opening kickoff and roared to the South Carolina 7, mainly on up center blasts by sophomore fullback Dowdle, a 215- pounder. Texai fumbled.
