17. (AP) Two drop-kick, that Sam Buie, quarterback, tent spinning squarely between the goal ports for points after touchdown enabled Duke University to defeat North Carolina State College today 14-12. It was the first football victory for Duke in its history of athletic relations between the two schools and State's first defeat by a North Carolina institution in two years. 1 by the minor leagues on the majors. At the fall meeting of directors 3f the South Atlantic; circuit last Wednesday the so-called "rookie rule" was adopted, which provldea that each cluo carry five lower classed players on Its roster.

In recent years major league scouts have Invaded college DAVIDSON. N. Nov. 17. (AP) It rained forward passes on Richardson Field for the home coming day at Davidson College as the Wildcats tried vainly to beat the North Carolina Tar Heels at their own game.

The Tar Heels won.

Nov. 1 7. (AP) Alabama's Crimson Tide rolled back the great football team of Georgia Tech for three quarters here today, but the waves finally parted and Thomason, Mizell Dunlap marched through to a decisive 33 to 13 victory.

A crtpled Red team from Tusca loosa gave the unbeaten and untied team from Tech Flata the greatest care 01 tne season, Holding the Golden Tornado to a 13 to 13 count through three periods of give and taice pummelling, out finally the AiaDama oeiense cracxea completely, giving way to three touchdown thrusts. Trio Of Stan The veteran halfbacks "Stumpy" Thomason and Warner Mizell, playing the leading role in Jklng their team from the Crimson while Tony Holm, bruised but TTer ready fullback, waa the star of AiaDama. This big line plunger battered the gieat Tech line for a couple of touchdowns In the second period to tie the count and then he stood off the charges of the Tornado with a con sistent toe for another full period be fore the storm broke in full fury. For offensive brilliancy, Thomason and Mizell stood on about even terms, both reeling off long gains, hitting the line and striking around ends for telling blows. 33,000 Spectator Twenty-five thousand howling fans saw Mizell streak 74 yards down the right side of the field for the first touchdown.

It waa on a return of Holm's punt and while several Crlm eon tackier neared him, they were. never able to halt his progress. Ala bama came right back In the next period when Captain Ear) Smith recovered Holm's punt after Durr1 Tech quarterback, had fumbled the ball, with the oval on Tech's 10 yard line. Holm battered over the oval on Tech's 10-yard line, Holm battered over the oval in two tries. Sktdmore missed goal and the Tor- sters to contracts with the aid of nice little checks.

And that aame practice has strangled the minor league clubs, which hid depended aa much on player aalea as the clicking of the turnstiles to keep the great national pastime humming lnlhe hinterland. Take, for Instance, Asheville a own shortstop of 1038, Ben Chapman. He waa signed In 1027 to a Yankee contract while performing In only semi-pro ball near Birmingham. He went along with the other awarm of Coxey'e Army of rookies to the Yankee training camp at St. Petersburg, only to be farmed out to Asheville for seasoning, drawing pay from Asheville.

When he gets "ripe." up he will go. But this new "rookie rule" will give the Sally teams an opportunity to convert their own raw material Into more finished products and eventually selling to higher company. The regulation may work a hardship the first season on several club in that It will force Asheville, Augusta and Macon to lay off several veterans to make room for the newcomers, but In the long run It will be beneficial. ANEW wrinkle In player salesmanship haa been hit upon by Cousin Felix Hayman, robust prexy of the Charlotte Hornets, he disclosed at the Sally loop directors meeting. It'a thla: Felix has a boy whom he believes is ready to "go up." He Imparts thla belief to a major league club, setting a price on his head, arms and legs, and agrees to send him to spring training on approval with the proviso that Charlotte pays all expenses In the event he falls to make the grade, but that the price stands If the big club decides to retain him.

And the Charlotte owner sends only those he's sure will stick. Pretty foxy old dude, that Felix. SOON the all-American mills will begin grinding out their football selections and on most choices will be perhaps the most famous grid star ever produced by the South, "Red Cagle, Army a great back, who halls from the "Sugar Bowl" section of Louisiana. He waa picked last year by flock ne for the mythical combination. Before going to West Point, Cagle waa graduated from Southwestern Louisiana Institute, where he won his spurs In four sports.

But he Isn't the only Southerner on the squad, as Csptaln "Bud" Sprague. tackle, went to the Hudson Heights from Dallas, Tex. Before graduating from the University of Texas, Sprague played football but failed to achieve prominence at the Lone Star Institution. ANOTHER Saturday's gridiron engagements for the survival of the fit test find Georgia Tech, Tennessee and Florida still hustling about for the Southern Conference diadem. The Yellow Jackets put on their ateam roller act late In the stages ot yesterday's conflict against the Crimson Tide and Van dys vaunted aerial thrusts failed to pierce the Volunteer breastworks.

Georgetown Wins OverMountaineers On Sloppy Field West Virginia's Heavy Backs Unable To Get Going With Tricky Footing WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 (JT) A shifty Oenrgetown University osrk field passed and slipped Its way through and around a heavier West Virginia eleven today to win a 13 to 0 decision and halt tne Mountaineers' winning streak which hid stretched to seven games. The accurate tosses of Ralph Duplin, Hilltop quarterback, were directed frequently Into waiting handa of Georgetown ends. Beth touchdowna In tha third and fourth periods respectively were gained through an aerial paae offensive.

West Virginia threatened on several occasions, missing a touchdown by a scant foot when "Lit Us Sleepy" Olenn. quarterback, waa forced out of bounds with thla distance to go aa the whistle blew ending the first hslf. He had caught a 30-yard paaa on the tips of his fingers and dodged 1ft yards when he waa run outside the field. In the flrat period the Mountaineers also recovered a fumble four yards from the Georgetown goal line but lost the ball on downs. A home coming crowd of 30,000 saw Georgetown alert line repulsa the attacks of West Virginia's powerful backfleld.

But while Bute's two points were Duke's margin of victory, the superiority of the Blue Devils waa largely In their line which cracked wide holes in the State forward wall, on the offensive and successfully halted the charges of Captain Bob Warren and the other Wolfpack backs when the Duke goal was threaten, ed. Each of Duke's touchdowns came on sustained drives with Bute, Murrey, Godfrey and Janokoskt ripping off consistent gatns through the gapa the Blue Devil forwards opened. The entire Duke line charged power-fully when a Blue Devil back had the ball and was Impregnable when State needed gains most. Mute Take Air When Its running game was stopped. State took to, the air and both result of long pases.

Melton, sub-stltute for Crum. took a heave from Warren and galloped 35 yards for one. Goodwin, a substitute for Sliver, scored the other after taking a 40-yard pass from Outen. Place-klsk try for point by Melton after the first touchdown was blocked and Adams' drop-kick was low on the try for point after the second touchdown. Murray, of Duke, turned In the longest run of the day from scrimmage when he shot off Uckle for 23 yards before State's secondary defense halted him.

Hla teammate, Oodfrey, almost matched thla with a 21-yard gain, and Melton, of State, got away for a 20-yard dash. Captain Warren waa Bute's most consistent ground gainer, going through the line and off tackle for six and eight yards at a clip, but even Warren was halted when the Duke goal waa threatened. State's most consistent advance was In the second quarter when Outen, Adams and Warren drove In ahort gains from mid-field to Dukes four-yard line, but there the Blue Devil defense stiffened and the ball went over.

The trio of Maryland touchdowns came In the final three periods of the game. Virginia registered lu only tally In the flrat quarter, when the Old Liner center made bad pass and Heagy, right end. was tackled behind hla own goal for a safety.

17. (p Blond Btlly Banker and Ike Armstrong whipped a reincarnated Green Wave Into action In the final period of a football game here today and washed the Purple Tiger of Sewanee ashore on the short end of a 41 to 0 count. It took the Green three quarters to swing into the gait that spelled sweet revenge to a homo coming crowd of 12,000 for the lacing administered by Sewanee last year. After aettlng the pace with a touchdown apiece in the opening period the teams battled sluggishly through the next two sessions with Tulane holding the advantage by the slim margin of one point by virtue of a Purple kick after touchdown that went wide. Banker Runt Wild Billy Banker added two touchdowns and four goals after touchdown to his total to run up IB points on his bid to outstrip Jimmy McEver of the Tennessee Volunteers.

The first Green score came early in the first quarter after an exchange of punts and a series of line thrusts and end aweepe by Banker and Armstrong. A 7 to 0 advantage waa short lived for Sewanee came back In the aame period and filled the air full of footballs that Tulane couldn't find. The Purple drew blood when Piper made a pretty 20-yard toss to Autln acroas Tulane'a goal line. The kick from placement failed. Timely Penalties The Green threatened several times In the second and third periods but each time an off.

So far the Democrats to the south have defeated the Republicans of Tar Heelia since the national election. South Carolina and North Carolina univer sities' teama battled to a scoreless tie, while Presbyterian College ot South Carolina defeated High Point college of North Carolina.

The game et Raleigh ought to be a nice Demo cratic-Republican battle again. teams fought to a standstill with neither gaining advantage. The break finally came along toward the middle of the final period when Thomason struck through right dkle and was away for 47 yards and touchdown. Shortly afterward, omason again carried It over on a six-yard pass from Mizell after the former had aided htm In penetrating far Into Crimson territory. The final marker came when Dun-lap, sophomore halfback.

Intercepted a pass In mld-ftld and ran for a touchdown. While both lines played sensationally. Tech's forward wall had the better of it as the game wore on. The Tornado front was giving little to the much favored reverse play used by the Alabama backfleld. This play, with Campbell carrying the ball, had netted a couple of first downs at the start of the game but was never effective after that.

Captain Peter Pund, Drennon. Waddey and 8peer stood out In the Tech line while Pearce. Captain Smith, Miller and Weaver were probably the best for the Tide.
