Nor Dan 10-9 daily! The Register: Donville, Sunday, Oct. 23, 1966 istered its biggest margin over the Blue Devils in history. State, 2-4 for the season, threw up a tight defense and grabbed a 10-0 first half lead. Harold Deters kicked a 28-yard first period field goal and quar- terback Jim Donnan threw a 21- yard touchdown pass to end Harry Martell in the second quarter. Duke, 3-3 for the season after winning its first three games was held to four first downs in the first half, but came back strong in the third period, scor- ing when quarterback Al Wood- all threw a 56-yard pass to end Dave Dunaway.

But the Wolfpack broke loose to the final period. Deters kicked a 47-yard field goal and the big fireworks followed Duke was unable to gain with the kickoff and punted. On the first play DeArment sped 61 yards down the sidelines to score. Moments later, State's Art McMahon intercepted Wood- all's pass on the Blue Devil 38 -and ran it in for a touchdown The Wolfpack ended its scor- ing with a 47-yard thrust in the closing minute when halfback Leon Mason went over from the two. Woodall, his previously in- jured left elbow heavily band- aged, was a picture of frustra- tion at times as the State line powered in on him.

Once he was thrown for a 32-yard loss and again for 15 yards. The Blue Devils were unable to get a first down until the sec- ond quarter when they moved from their 34 to State's 32, where the Wolfpack held and forced a punt. Late in the sec- ond period, Woodall threw a 22- yard pass to Henley Carter on State's 27, but Jake Devonshire fumbled three plays later and McMahon recovered on the 18. 3 7 023-33 Dofln 0e from Woodall kick) NCS-- FG Dtterj 47 NCS-- DeArment 61 run (Deters kick) (p NCS--McMahon 38 pass Interception Duke's Coach Real Honest About Defeat DURHAM (AP)--Duke Coach Tom Harp summed up North Carolina State's 33-7 rout of his Blue Devils by saying, "We just got the daylights beat out of us. "State did a great job on our re9eivers," Harp said.

"It was the best job of defending us that anybody has done." State, ahead by 10-0 at half- time, turned the game into a runaway with a field goal and three touchdowns in the final period. Not in 35 years had the Wolfpack defeated Duke on its home grounds. The Wolfpack dressing room was the scene of bedlam. Coach Earl Edwards said, "This was a long time coming. That long run by Don DeArment helped us very much." He was referring to a 61-yard touchdown run by DeArment in the fourth quarter.

"His run relieved a lot of pressure," Edwards said. "Until then there was no relief. It was a tight one, closer than the score indicated." State kept the blitz on Duke quarterback Al Woodall most of the afternoon. On one play he was thrown for a 32 yard loss. Edwards said, "He's a good passer, a fine football player and will get better.

He'll be a good one." Edwards termed it "a great victory--one our boys wanted and played hard to get. I was afraid Duke might control the ball on us, but we put a pretty good rush on Woodall and our defense did a pretty good job of controlling their runners." Harp said, "State has a fine team. They were sky high and we didn't play very well. We just went flat" Teen-Age Football Program Rained Out Rain washed out both games last week in the SchooKield Recreation Center's Teen-Age Touch Football League.
