15. (UP) The Chicago Bears, battling to regain a title they last held in 1946, entertain the Philadelphia Eagles at Chi- By JAKE WADE (Special Correspondent) CHAPEL HILL, Oct. 15 At the beginning of the season they wondered if Carolinas football honeymoon was over. It wasn't, alfco- 'gether, as subsequent events have proved. Now they are wondering if the Tar Heels are over the hump in their extended honeymoon.

This one today was supposed to be the hump. Charlie Justice and his devoted chums passed and galloped their way to a 28-14 victory over the stubborn and keyed up Wake Forest Demon Deacons today. Maybe it wasn't the hump they all look big from here out. Next Saturday night at far away Baton Rouge, it's Louisiana State. The Tar Heels hurdlfd it with two All-Americans.

There was the Carolina Cho Choo, Asheville's Charlie Justice, who scored three touchdowns with the greatest of ease there was, in Art (The Nose) Weiner, who has been putting his name on the All-Ameri ca check list game after game this season. Today he caught seven passes to run his total for the sea son to 28. That's catching 'em, brother. In Chapel Hill they worried about this one. The Deacons had lost three games in a row after easing out Duquesne.

Yet it was known to all and sundry that this Wake Forest squad was loaded with bright young stars, plus their tried and tested old hands. The Tar Heels were well grounded as to the superior qualities of these egni- cr.atic Deacons. They had it, too. in their glittering challenge today and showed it in a hurry, Tallying the first touchdown of the game, the Deacons were, out front by 7-0, thanks to shining maneuvers by Carroll Blackerby, "Nub" Smith, Bobby Stutts and Bill Gregus at the end of the first quarter. Blackerby sneaked the last two feet for the score and big Bill George, out of his hospital bed and ready, kicked the point.

The elegant Justice touch was to show, however, before the half was over. This was not one of the days when he was to pull out all stops with dramatic and give the 44,000 fans an explosion to rock them on their ears. This was the day, instead, for him to do it in a methodical, workmanlike way, without fanfare. In the second quarter he got his first one. He simply sprinted around left end, standing up, from the five, and if there was a hand laid on him it was simply the gesture of a little Baptist caress.

His pals made it easy by clearing traffic. Dick Bunting, the "Blond Bunny" from Salem, who has always played behind Choo Choo on offense but today was the -starting offensive right end, due to Kenny Powell's knee injury, collected the second Carolina TD before the half ended. He intercepted one of Cats Down ECTC, 19-6 CANTON A powerful Western Carolina College eleven rolled to its third conference victory of the season as it defeated Eastern Carolina. 19 to 6.

The Catamounts scored a touchdown in each of the first three periods, while East Carolina cli- SMU Empire Is Crushed By Rice, 41-27 Owls Deal Out Terrific Beating To Mustangs DALLAS, Oct. 15. OT Southern Methodist's Southwestern football empire crashed tonight before the power of the Rice Owls, 41-27. The team that had won two Southwest Conference championships in a row and lost only one game in two and a half seasons took a terrific beating from a Rice team, sparked by passer Tobin Rote and driving, twisting runs of Bobby Lantrlp and Gordon Wyatt. Rice roared back from a 6-14 half-time deficit to all but run SMU but of the Cotton Bowl where 72,000 fans the largest crowd ever to see a Southwest Conference game watched the awesome power of the men in blue.

Not since 1945 had my team scored as many as 41 points on Southern Methodist. The great Ran dolph Field team of that time turned the trick. It. was the most points ever made on the Ponies in a conference game. SMU has been In the conference since 1918.

Rice did it with All-America Doak Walker sidelined most of the last half. Walker was Injured in a pile' up on the sidelines, being knocked into a wheel chair in which a war veteran was watching the game Rice was penalized 15 yards for roughness. Walker played little afterward and never did carry the ball again. Bobcats Win Over Brevard By22ToO BREVARD The Lees-McRae Bobcats of Banner Elk exploded for three touchdowns in the last period to whitewash a fighting Brevard College eleven, 22 to 0, Saturday night at the College field before 1,000 fans. The Bobcats opened the scoring in the latter part of the first period when Ebby Wilkerson of Brevard on an attempted kick stepped into the end zone and was tackled for a safety giving the Bobcats a 2-0 lead.

Then after two scorelesS periods of football, the Bobcats on sus tained drives of 50 and 70 yards respectively tailed two touchdowns early in the fourth quarter. Dave Hamrick scored both of them on plunges of four and five yards each. Joe Bolen kicked the extra point to put the Bobcats ahead, 15-0. Then late in the same period Corky Fowler, Bobcat end, intercepted a Brevard wass and went 30 yards to score. For Brevard Co-Co-Captain Bruce Jamerson and Clyde Pitts played bang-up games, while for tbe visi tors, Weldon Price, Fowler, and John Crowley were standouts.

In the morning game the Asheville Midgets defeated the Pisgah Forest eleven, 20 to 7. McGurkWins In Regatta ELIZABETH CITY, Oct. 15. (JP) Bob McGurk of the Margate City, N. Yacht Club, today won the North Carolina Governor's Cup race and the boys International championship in the International Moth Boat Regatta here.

Princeton Wins, 27-14 PRINCETON. N. Oct. 15. (JP) Dick Kazmaier, a slender 18-year-old sophomore from Maumee, Ohio, pitched Princeton to victory over Brown today 27 to 14.

The defeat was the first of the year for Brown, and was Princeton's first success in the Ivy League. Two brilliant passes by Kazmaier to another sophomore, 19-year-old John Emery, set up touchdowns for Printeton in the first period, and Kazmaier himself carried the ball over for a counter In the third after a 70-yard march down the field. Bill Kleinsasser made Prince ton's other touchdown on a 30- yard dash through the middle of the line in the second quarter. Miami Throws Scare Into Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH. Oct.

15. (JP) A fighting Miami University (O.) football team threw a bad scare into Pittsburgh today but the Panthers squeezed out a 35-26 victory and remained undefeated. In their first four games. Little Lee Nalley grabbed the opening kickoff and slithered 98 yards to put Vandy on the score' board first. Cannon Mayes con verted but less than two minutes later Florida's Angus "Williams flipped a 33-yard scoring pass to Jim French, Lewis converted, and it was all tied up.

Early in the second quarter Florida moved out front when Williams smacked Loren Broadus in the end zone with a five-yard pass. Blackerby's long passes and dashed 31 yards across the last white stripe. When Abie Williams, the titanic sophomore off the 1937 Fayette-ville High School championship team, added the point, it was 14-7 and that was the tally when intermission came. By that time most folks agreed, as they stalked the ramps in the October sunshine, that the Tar Heels would win. Early in the third period the Carolina Choo Choo waltzed into his second easy one.

He had passed to that indefatigable target, Weiner, to put the Tar Heels on Wakes 13. Fred Sherman reversed left end for eight. Then Charlie just rambled over right tackle in a big, gaping hole his worshipful teammates opened up, for the last five and touchdown. Williams again gave a fair imitation of the departed Bob Cox and kicked the point to make -it 21-7. He didn't miss all day.

Not until the fourth period did the Tar Heels and Justice do it again. It was the same script after they got. in scoring territory. This time Charlie had to go 14. He faded back a little.

Produced a slight fake of a pass, then just breezed around right end and there it was. Never has Charlie made three easier touchdowns. His buddies set 'em up. He delivered. The Deacons meanwhile had picked up their second one in the third.

Blackerby this time connected one of those mile long babies to Smith, who ran artfully to the one. Then Miller bulled it over. The redoubtable George kicked the point again. Nothing was surprising aBout tbe game. In the Carolina camp all week they had figured that Wake would uncover a fine passing at tack.

Something that had been lacking in Baptist Hollow previous ly this season. It been esti mated in the Tar Heel ivory tower that the Deacons would throw 30 passes. They tossed 22, as It turned out, and 11 were good. The Tar Heels, always pass happy, tossed 21 and made 12 good. Justice com' pleted six out of 12, Hayes six out of nine.

Blackerby connected 11 of 21 for Wake with Davis missing in his one attempt. The" big ground gainer was the Choo Choo with 102 net yards in 23 carries. Nobody else came close, Smith was the best for the Deacons with 20 yards. The Tar Heels de fense against running was superb. Against passing, it was a little short of gaudy.

Coach Carl Snavely of the win ners was tickled. He gave the big hand to Dick Bunting, the little man who was coverted overnight into an offensive end and rang the bell. Coach Peahead Walker of the losers said the Tar Heels won by taking advantage of the breaks. The latter, he thought, went against his team. Kentucky Tops Citadel, 44-0 LEXINGTON.

Oct. 15. (UP) Playing mostly straight power football, Kentucky scored in every quarter to beat an out-manned Citadel team here tonight, 44-0. A crowd of 25,000 watched the one-sided contest, as six backs scored for Kentucky. Don Phelps got two of the TD's.

Ed Hamilton, Bill Lescovar, Emory Clark and Jim Howe got one each, and Ben Zaranka received credit for a safety. Phelps kicked one field goal. Bill Boiler two and Bobby Brooks three. Citadel threw a scare into the Wildcats in the second period by recovering a Kentucky fumble on the Wildcat six-yard line. A penalty put it on the one but the Bulldogs couddn push it over.

TCU Hands Texas Aggies 28-6 Loss FORT WORTH, Oct. 15. (JP) Texas Christian whipped Texas A. and M. 28-6 today, mixing passes with a sputtering ground game for two touchdowns in the first period and two more in the third.

John Morton punched over from the one-inch line, Dan Wilde ran 61 yards for a touchdown and Lindy Berry passed to Jack Archer and Wilde for the other Texas Christian counters. Glenn Lippman went three yards for A. and score in the second. Walters Signs Pact CINCINNATI, Oct. 15.

(DP) Big, heavily favored Vander bilt finally generated a telling charge tonight and rolled to a fourth quarter score to nip Florida's stubborn Gators 22 to 17. Florida had victory within its grasp on Lazarus Lewis 17-yard field goal putting the Gators ahead 17 to 16. But a few feverish minutes later Herb Rich sewed up the ball-game Continued From Page One Carolina Wins soclated Press rolls, went ahead to stay late in the period when Dick Bunting, playing his first game at right end after understudying Tailback Justice, intercepted a Blackerby pass of the Wake For est's 31 and ran all the way. Wake Forest, hampered by its fumbles and 110 yards in penalties. fell two touchdowns behind in a hurry at the start of the second half.

Tailback Nub Smith fumbled the kickoff and Guard Dick Best-wick recovered for North Carolina on Wake's 24. Five plays later Justice raced over standing up from the five after seven-yard reverse Dy wingDacK Fred Sherman had set up the score. Wake Forest turned an intercep tion into its second touchdown.

Fullback Andy Karpus intercepted a Billy Hayes pass on the Wake Forest 35. Six plays culminated with Fullback Bill Miller bulling over from the one. George kicked the point. A Blackerby-Smith pass for 38 yards to the 17 was the big gainer. The final scoqe came in the opening minutes of the last period.

Justice scamnerine 14 yards around right end. Three plays and a 15- yard clipping penalty against wane Forest enabled North Carolina to move 34 yards for the score. Justice, in one of his busiest ball-carrying afternoons of the season, carried the ball 23 times for a net gain of 102 yards and hit on six of 12 passes for 52 more yards. Weiner, the Tar Heels' ace left end. in addition to playing a 101 oi defensive ball, caught seven passes for 72 yards to bring his four-game total to 28 catches ana yarns Stutts, slightly injured early in the third period, led the Deac ball carriers with 25 yards in live rushes.

Overall first downs favored North Carolina. 19 to 9. The Tar Heels led in vardaee rushing 200 to 60, but their nassing netted only 118 vards as aeainst Blackerby's uss. Bunting's touchdown was nis ursi as a Tar Heel.

He was playing at end. a Dosition unfamiliar to mm because Kenny Powell, the regular flanker on the right side, was hurt against South Carolina last week. Coach Carl Snavely singled him out for high praise after the game, saying "we were very fortunate to have a boy like him." The lineups: WAKE FOREST (14) Left ends Duncan. M-iure. uuurr.

15. (JPh- The Appalachian Mountaineers defeated the Catawba Indians, 12 to 6, here tonight in a slightly screwball game of football seen by an estimated crowd of 5,000. The North State Conference teams played scoreless ball until late in the second quarter, when the Mountaineers suddenly scored, without any advance warning that they were headed for six points. After a punt exchange, Herman Bryson, 185-pound back from Winston-Salem, ran 21 yards for a touchdown, just like that. Midway the third quarter, Pete Mills passed to Tom Hendrix for the score.

Hendrix wouldn't have got hold of the ball if Homer Brewer, Indian back, hadn't tipped it into his hands in an attempt to break it up. Catawba's lone touchdown came late in the game after the Indians, beginning at the Appalachian 25-yard line. A pass from Johnny Co ble of Mount Airy to Beill Stanfield of, Winston-Salem, that carried to; the five-yard line.

Omat, Brnox Auburn Ratty :) Falls Short; Tech Wins ATLANTA. Oct 15. (IP) Geonris. Tech manhandled Auburn for threw quarters but In the final period, today Auburn made Dixie's foot ball comeback of the year only to fall short of a major upset as Tech won. 35-21.

As the wild offensive came moved Into the final quarter, fans were moving toward exits. Those who left missed a magnificent 2i- point Auburn offensive which nearly overtook Tech. Auburn's great show of clavin football to the very last, even if you are losing 28-0, stole the show from a great Tech offensive line and a brilliant football show by Tech's Bobby Smith. In all the wildnc of that last period, which also saw Tech score seven more points, no one ranks so high as a crippled star, still hob-' bling from a two-year-old ankle break. Travis Tidwell of Auburn, unable to run without a retarding Jerk, set a flame to Auburn with' a touchdown, run and brilliant'' passes.

North battered Auburn In 21 runs which gained 168 yards. For two years North was Tech's big dis- appointment, but this sunny afternoon 32,000 fans saw him earn a free ticket to a college education. Neither team bothered with de fenses, everyone thought offensively. North scored 15 of Tech's 35 points. Winston-Salem Leads Carolina Attendance DURHAM, Oct.

The Bulldogs never rolled like that before Last night they had the spirit and the will to win.

Larry Carter and Barney Gradman led the scoring parade with t-vo touchdowns each. Lawrence Robinson, Lou Foxx and Chop Chop Arm strong added one apiece." Raymond Carr led the invading Kaydets with three toucnaowns, while Joyner tallied Neither team let up. From the opening kickoff to the final play both squads slammed and banged at their opponents with only one thought to score. And they scored plenty. Gordon "broke out its fleet backs and ran them wild through the first quarter.

Asheville's Bulldogs stayed on the defense. At the end of the first quarter the local lads were trailing 7-0. Abruptly they came to the conclusion that It was just a matter of got there "firstest with the mostest." So they forgot about defense and went slap-happy, slamming into the end zone with reckless abandon. Gordon' scored first, the only tally of the first quarter. After an exchange of kicks, Asheville-BUt-more's Armstrong booted out to Gordon's 12.

Lefty Raymond Carr returned it to the 18 and Gordon began a drive that carried to the end zone. Bill Joiner passed to Naith Thompson on the 31. Carr carried to the 42. Then came tne first of two beautiful runs turned in by Gordon runners. Bill Joiner lureed around right end, picked ud his interference, and sprimea down the sidelines to the end zone.

Leon Cooksey booted the extra point for a 7-0 lead that held until the quarter. Shortly after the opening of the second quarter Gordon bogged down on its own 39 and was forced to kick. Dick Hill booted to the A-B 20 and Larry Carter returned the ball to the 26. A pass from Chop Chop Armstrong to Big Zeb Vance carried to the Gordon 35. Lewis Johnson hauled him down for Gordon to save the touchdown.

Carter then riped down to the 18, Robinson to the 5, Carter to the 3, then Carter skirted right end and scored standing up. Bill Clark kicked the point to tie the game. Before the half ended three more touchdowns were scored. Raymond Carr stepped 75 yards to score midway in the second. Lawrence Robinson bulled over from the six inch line minutes later to tie it up at 13-all.

Just before tbe half, Lou Foxx put the Bulldogs ahead to stay with a beautiful 28-yard broken field run that had tbe Keydets baffled. The Bulldogs led 19-13 at the half. During the final half Asheville-Biltmore blew the hinges off the door to the endzone. They controlled the ball almost all the way and scored at will. The Bulldogs took the kickoff that opened the half and drove it all the way.

A sneak pass from Dick Powers to Larry Carter accounted for the fi nal 35 yards and the touchdown that put the locals out front 25-13. Carr turned in anotner brilliant. run minutes later. With the ball resting squarely on the 50, Carr breezed through the line across the secondary and on into the end zone standing up. Cooksey's kick was good and the Keydets eased ud 25-20.

Chop Chop Armstrong scored for the Bulldogs nine plays later on a 15-yard run around the right Little Barney Gradman cnaucea up tne imai two toucnaowns on runs of 42 and 13 yards.

The National Football League will trot out its first full Sunday schedule of the campaign but most interest will center on Wrigley Field where the defending champion Eagles clash with the team which has won more NFL. championships than any other club.

The All-America Conference has two games on Sunday Yankees-Colts, and Bills-Forty Niners. The Bears, seven-time champions, have lost one of their three starts this fall and the Eagles have won three straight but Philadelphia doesn't have a heroic history against George Halas' team. Until they beat the Bears at Philadelphia last year, the Eagles had been unable to beat the Midwestern club in 11 tries. Philadelphia, rated by many as the best balanced team in profes sional football, will depend on its usual attack an offense built around veterans Steve Van Buren, all-time NFL. record holder for ground gained, Bosch Pritchard and passer Tommy Thompson.

The Bears' attack is built around the ball carrying of George Gul-yanics, and the passing of Sid Luckman and Johnny Lujack. Continued From Page Two Duke Wins score on his fourth try at the line, his scoring smash, covered a yard. A 20-yard run by sophomore wingback Paul Dinan, just after State had shifted into a T-forma tion from the single wing, started the Wolfpack on the way to its first touchdown. Spinning nicely to shake off tacklers, Dinan earned to Duke 34. Smith then passed to Dinan at the 22, and he was stopped at the 21.

Smith broke off tackle for 14 yards to the Duke seven, four plays later, Smith flipped a pass to Kosil- la for the score. Just before the half ended, Duke whipsawed 47, and passed to Hughes for 17 yards to State's 30. After a line play got a yard and a pass failed, Cox connected with Mont gomery at the 23 and he carried to the 10 for a 19-yard gain. Cox swept right end for the touchdown. A penalty cost Duke a touchdown late in the first quarter.

From State's 20, Cox lofted a fourth-down pass to Hughes in the end zone, but the Blue Devils were set back 15 yards to the 35 for illegal use of the hands. Cox went back to punt, but dropped the ball and had to run. He was stopped at State's 42, where the Wolfpack took over. The lineups: N. C.
