(UP) The Duke Blue Devils, held in check for a period and a half by a stubborn North Carolina defense, broke loose with a four-touchdown barrage here Saturday for a 27-to-6 victory over the Tarheels that clinched the Southern Conference title and the nation's top scoring record for Coach Eddie Cameron's charges.

So well did the Institute secondary throttle the TCU passing game, that the home eleven failed to complete a single rass in an even dozen attempts. Four TCU passes were intercepted. The game was marked by two of the longest rung of the season, one of which ended in TCU's only touchdown. James Lucas, the Horned Frog's mainstay on offense, returned a Rice punt 83 yards for a touchdown in the second period. The second run was turned in by Rices Rill Scruggs.

Jack Fitch, Carolina wingback. hauled him down at the Carolina 10, but as Fitch hit him Luper dropped the ball.

It bounced straight ahead into the end zone and Luper fell on it for the first score. That broke the ice and the Blue Devils came back after the half with their usual power-laden and versatile attack. A short Carolina kickoff gave Duke the ball at midfield. On the first play George Balitsaris spun through the line and moved to the 10. A reverse gained three and Luper rifled a short pass to Wing-back Cliff Haggerty on the goal line.

A few minutes later Luper took a Carolina kick on the six and returned it 10 yards. After a 15-yard penalty for roughness on Carolina, Balitsaris ripped off a first down and then Luper broke around right end from midfield and net sail. The Carolina mifety hounrcd him out of bounds foot from the goal but Balitsaris went over two plays In the hectic fourth period, two Duke marches ended fruitlessly near the double-stripe before the Blue Devils got their final score. A fumble halted one drive, and on the second. Bob Gantt attempted a field goal from the eight on fourth down.

It was good, but the referee already had blown his whistle for too much time. Duke was penalized five yards and Gantt went back to try again. This time it was a fake and Haggerty' pass into the end zone rolled off Benny Cit-tadino's fingertips. But Duke rolled right back after Center Fletcher Wall intercepted a Carolina pass on the Tarheel 31. Howard Hartley, reserve tailback, faked a pass and ran 23 yards to the Carolina eight.

He missed Gantt in the end zone with a pass on the first try but hit him the next time for the score. Carolina's only score followed the next kickoff. On the first play, Myers threw a long pass down field where two Duke defenders were waiting. It bounced off the hands of both of them and Fred Miller, a reserve end from Jcanette, scooped the ball up and ran to the four. Myers went over on the second try.

Duke's 27 points gave them a season total of 335 to only 33 for the opposition and put them ahead of Notre Dame, which had held the PEPPER AND HOLLAND TO FIGHT MUTUEL TAX WASHINGTON, D. Nov. 20. Sen. Claude Pepper announced here Saturday he had been in contact with Gov.

Bill Eisnor circled left end for 16 and the powerful running Harrison smashed through left tackle and bull-dozed his way the remaining 19 yards into the land of milk and honey. A few hands were laid upon him but none with suficient authority.

A bad pass prevented Al Rosen's attempt at the 14th point and th half, and a shower, arrived simul-half a shower arrived simul- The usual between halves ceremonies were dispensed with. In a measure due to the illness of Miss Muriel Smith, the U.M. drum-majorette, and with the gifted Mr. Caver sustaining an early injury and departing for a time in the third period the Hurricanes left their bomb-shelters and launched a sharp ground-attack which resulted in a couple of touchdowns to salt the game away. The plunging Mr.

Harrison, replacement for Fullback Bill Leav-itt. was the hero of the first second-half charge as he achieved 12 yards through left guard to climax a M-yard march. Bill Elinor and Tucker rendered invaluable aid during this procession. Al Rosen's kick-after was good but a penalty was slapped on which forced him to try again from the 17 and thi3 time he missed, thus it became 19-7. Even Harvey Score The old battle battlewagon, Harvey James, quarterback replacement for transferred Eddie Ruzomberka, got himself into the "headlines" for the first time as he heroed the fourth touchdown, intercepting a flip from the limping but game Caver, who had returned by now, and waddling 43 yards over the pay-off marker.

Rosen's kick again failed. An 18-yard punt return by the fleet Tucker sent Miami on the way to Its fifth touchdown midway the fourth period. With the ball on the Presbys' 28, Watt and Tucker pushed to the 12 at which point Tucker hurled one to Leon Wright, another just-reported Techite from Atlanta, and he dashed the necessary distance. This time Rosen split the uprights and it was 32-7. The Carolinians, with Caver rapidly recovering struck back fast after taking the kick-out on their own 44.

In two plays they were across, both aerials. Caver pegged a pretty one to End Kaleel. who reeled off some yardage before lateralling to Adams to sweep to Miami's 27. A Caver-to-Adams beauty ate up the final 27 yards in two plays. Gillilands kick was blocked.

So ended the scoring for the evening and the crowd of 12.000 wended its happy way homeward. Kasulin Scores In Villanova Victory PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 20. (UP) A marine-studded Villanova eleven hit too hard and early for Temple's civilian team Saturday overwhelming the owls, 34-7, in the 16th annual renewal of the backyard brawl between the schools.

A disappointing home-coming day crowd of 10,000 saw Villanova score twice in the opening period, duplicate the feat in the second quarter and add a final touchdown in the closing period. The victory was the 10th series win for Villanova as against five defeats and one tie. For Temple's "schoolboy" gridders, the defeat was the sixth in a row since two early season victories. Pacing the Villanova attack was Capt. Al Postus, senior halfback, who chalked up two of his team's touchdowns and made a specialty of returning Temple punts.

Al Kasulin, ex-University of Miami star, made the first touchdown. such as player and coaching shortages, loss of virtually entire teams from last year, and, yet, as in L.S.U.'s case, willing to tackle with no quarter asked such V-12 powered aggregations as Georgia Tech and Tulane, ranked in the pre-season dope as the S.E.C.'s two giants. (5) The Louisiana Tigers, by their twin conquest of Georgia and victories over Rice and T. C. definitely rated themselves among the South's foremost civilian teams, if indeed they are not already entitled to the civilian championship of this section.

If those reasons are not sufficient then there might be one more: V-12 teams will be difficult to line up this time, although Southern Cal and Washington have already been signed and sealed for the Rose Bowl. The others may have to be content with something less by reason of the leave-limits applied to the collegiate trainees. Certainly it would have been difficult to coax two V-12 teams this far, what with, the 48-hour absence restrictions and most of the holiday leaves up January 1 or before. I would say, off-hand, we are fortunate to have a game at all, let alone one in which we will see one of the most spectacular civilian teams anywhere in action. LSU's RECORD Alameda Trims California, 7-0 BERKELEY, Nov.

20. (UP) One brief 48-yard explosion late in the third quarter was enough to give the Alameda Coast Guard Sea Lions a 7-0 victory over University of California Saturday before a stormy-weather crowd of 3,000. It was homecoming day for Ver-ducci, a former California halfback, and Seaman Fred Shew, 225-pound fullback from the University of San Francisco, made the day a success by sparking the 48-yard drive which carried over the California goal in 12 plays. Governor expects to come to Washington to join the fight, the senator said. "We defeated this proposal In the senate last year." he commented, "and we are going to try to defeat it this year, because Governor Holland thinks and the racing officials believe that the take will be so high it will relatively kill racing in Florida, which has already the highest take of any state in the nation from pari-mutuel wagering." "Under our constitutional provision which distributes the pari-mutuel tax funds equally among the 67 counties of the state It is of the greatest importance to every county that these funds be not impaired.

These funds- contribute very largely in every county to the maintenance of the schools and old-age pensions and other public welfare functions, as well as general county operation."

They did it in 13 plays, one of them a 10-yard pass from Lujack to big John Yonakor, right end; the rest running plays. Creighton Miller scored the touchdown, ripping six yards through a big cross-blocking hole in the middle of the Hawk line. Earley. coming into action again in the tightest spot of his brief career, skimmed a low place-kick over the bar for the all-important 14th point. Todd, the sky-sailor's most virulent back, was removed with a broken jaw after he had tackled Yonakor on the Irish pass play-Even thus handicapped, the Hawks made a gallant effort to win in the eight minutes and eight seconds that remained.

They marched from the next kick-off to the Irish 17. There with a yard and a half to for a first down, they elected to trv a field goal. McGarry's effort, launched from the 35, was wide and hort. Mi Another hance They got one more chance when thev recovered a fumble by Miller deep in Notre Dame territory with nnlv a minate remaining, but the Irish secondary, aided greatly by the redeeming services of Miller, knocked down three desperate passes, and when the gun went off Notre Dame had the ball. History was made immediately after the game when Frank Leahy, foreboding coach of Notre Dame, for the first time admitted he has a Kreat team.

This conclusion was enthusiastically seconded by Lieut Don Faurot. ex-Missouri coach or the thwarted Seahawks. Notre Dame now has won nine straight ar.d or.lv a game with Great Lakes Naval Training Station stands between it and undisputed possession of the war-time football champion- ShThere is no denying that the Irish went into this game in a state of dangerous over-confidence. No one here thought there was any real harm in the Seahawks. But once the Notre Dame players grasped the realities of the situation, they adjusted themselves and rut on a which contributed more to their reputation than any number lop-sided triumphs over attenuated intercollegiate entries.

The corners of the compact rectan-g'e planned bv the late Knute Rockne and made possible by the earnings of the teams he coached were empty, though the sides and ends were solid. Needless to say, no one left before the last r-lay and the neighboring city of South Bend, in fact the entire Midwest, is re-plaving the game step by step. The Seahawks came into this came as defeatless as Notre Dame.

In previous games, however, they had employed the services of cadets as much as possible and had hrr.ited the use of ox-pro officers. Thi time they went all out.

The Boisterous Mr. McCarthy Bill Johnson, the Augusta fireman who did a job of rookie third-basing for the world champion Yankees this year, told a story at a home town Elks' dinner in his honor the other evening that emphasizes the uncommunicativeness of Manager Joseph McCarthy.

With Courses In Great Shape Pros and managers of Greater Miami golf clubs are getting their houses in order for the winter season, but there will be nothing new or different added. Forced to discard proposed improvements through the scarcity of materials and lack of priorities, managers are well satisfied with keeping their courses in as good condition as previous years and are succeeding admirably.

In spite of the wartime hardships, all are anticipating a successful season, better than last year, when they were hit by the ban on pleasure driving and a lack of any great number of tourists. Tournaments, however, will be limited, and only the Miami Country club is planning an extensive array of competitive events. The downtown course will hold its own Dixie Amateur, as usual, and for the second straight season will conduct the Amateur Four-Ball and the Helen Lee Doherty tournament for women, formerly fixtures at the Miami Biltmore. Amateur-Pros Planned West Flagler will book amateur-pro turneys from time to time as soon as the pros arrive, Vincent Allen, manager and pro, declared, but other than that nothing has been arranged. There are no changes in the pros.

All clubs are retaining the same instructors as in the past. Indian Creek, which stayed open this summer for the first time for the convenience of servicemen and received a very pleasing response, will swing into its winter season this week with the arrival Tuesday of Bob Barnett, pro. During the summer his assistant, Boyd Jaeger, was in charge, and has kept the course in fine condition. Recent rains have put the greens in excellent shape and the winter grass is coming up. La Gorce enjoyed a good opening A word of good cheer from Willie Macfarlane, the veteran Scot of Miami Shores.

"I really see no reason for a serious golf ball shortage around here for at least six months," says the pro, "provided the playejs continue to turn in their balls for reprocessing. Reprocessed balls, I might add, are about as good as new ones if they are not wrecked when turned in. "One week here at the Shores we had 185 old balls brought in, which wasn't bad.

RY PERIODS MUHLENBERG HOLDS SAMPSON, 28-7 ALLENTOWN. Nov. 20 (UP) The weary Mules of Muhlenberg grew stubborn Saturday and held the more powerful Sampson Naval Air Station to a 28-7 victory before a small crowd that expected a record-breaking score. Sampson scored and converted twice in the first period, with Joe Davis, formerly of Southern California, and Andy Stopper, late of Villanova, crossing the line. Saturday, and Manager Bernhard A unique sport, having all the plays, roughness, skill and spectacular characteristics of football, "battle ball," was introduced last week to the 910th training group by Maj.

Walter L. Riee. "It can be played without expensive equipment." explained SSgt. Sam R. Lankford, athletic and recreational director of the 910th and former trainer and boxing coach of the University of Tennessee.

"Battle ball" is played by 11 men on a team, seven linemen and four backfielders. Instead of the usual football-crouch stance, each man plays shoulder to shoulder with the next man on his team, and only charge when the referee gives the signal. The players do not tackle and have no two-hand touch. But in this game each man has an J8-inch rope, one-half inch thick, dangling from the rear renter of his belt. In order for the play to stop, the defense guy must jerk this rope from the offensive ball carrier.

Only the defensive players are last winter when the former course was turned over to the air forces. Brophy died last spring shortly after returning North, and will be missed by all the regulars. Normany Isle, the other course on the Beach and owned by the city', is planning nothing special for the winter. Art Gleason, manager and pro, will continue in the dual position. He will have as his assistant Pro Joe Zieman, who was assistant at the old municipal course.

Willie Macfarlane and Guy Armstrong are closing the Miami Shores course Dec. 1 for 10 or 15 days to put the layout in shape for the anticipated heavy play this winter. Macfarlane, pro and manager, said Great Lakes 'IT Beats Marquette GREAT LAKES, 111., Nov. 20. (UP) Little Emil Sitko.

Membership has mounted to 321, with applications still to be acted upon, from a low of less than 225 following United States' entry into the war. Those are resident members and there are about 75 non-resident members.

Regular winter players already are arriving in goodly numbers, and Pool has had a large force of men putting the course in tip-top condition. Nothing has been spared to ready it for a banner season after the past summer's excellent play. Ray Cole will continue as pro. He succeeded Charlie McAllister and has been a winter visitor here for many years. Now he has decided to make Miami his home.
