State DURHAM, N. C. Sept 27-W-Wallace Wade, Duke's old master, won- revenge today by defeating North Carolina State College 7 to 0 In a Southern Conference football game played two days after State was released from a polio quarantine. Duke lost to State, 13 to 6, in its opener last year and the Wade-led team went on to the most disastrous record in his 24 years of coaching. He lost five and won four.

Tulane Green Wave Surges Three Times To Upset Alabama NEW ORLEANS, Sept.

27 (JP) Tulane's light, sophomore-rich Green Wave negotiated three longdistance scoring plays here today to upset Alabama's big Crimson Tide, 21 to 20, before an estimated 60,000 spectators. It was Alabama's first one-point defeat since the Tide lost 5 to 4 to the Birmingham Atlantic Club In the first football game it ever played, back in 1892. Tulane stopped Harry Gilmer's famous passes, intercepting three of them, one for a touchdown. Tulane's other two scores which came in the last 53 seconds of the first half were on JEd Price's 101 yard kickoff return and a 38 yard pass play from Bennie Ellender to Ray Prats. Alabama's big line almost succeeded where Gllber's overheads failed.

The red-clad forwards tore big holes in the smaller Tulane front meii as Gilmer, Lowell Tew and Norwood Hodges went through for substantial gains. Alabama made 16 first downs to Tulane's nine, and gained 245 yards rushing against 115 for the Wave. Each team completed six passes but Tulane gained 58 yards team that now has gone 29 straight games without a defeat. The words also were being sung joyously at Chapel Hill after North Carolina bounced Georgia, 14 to 7. to reverse the decision these same two schools registered on Jan.

1 In the Sugar Bowl. Pupa, Not Justice It was Walt Pupa's passing and not the expected running of Charles Justice that brought the downfall of the Georgians, who scored first and then saw their advantage melt away. Washington threatened often at Minneapolis, but scored only once and then missed the extra point as Minnesota eked out a 7 to 6 inter-sectional decision in the rain. Northwestern, playing Its first game under 31year old Head Coach Bob Voigts, tumbled before Vanderbilt, 3 to 0, on a final period field goal. Illinois, defending Big Nine king, had plenty of difficulty with Pittsburgh, 14 to 0, while Michigan, expected to inherit the mantle, walloped Michigan State, 5 to 0, in Biggie Munn's first game as Spartan coach.

Anxious Minutes Ohio State, also operating under a new tutor, had more anxious moments than it expected with Missouri before triumphing, 13 to 7. The Buckeyes' experience was shared by Duke, which scared after a blocked kick to defeat North Caro-lint State, 7 to 0. The biggest surprise of the day was the apparent ease with which Bobby Dodds' Georgia Tech eleven engineered a 27 to 0 defeat for Tennessee, where he starred a score of years ago. In another tutor-pupil affair, the teacher won out as Harvard, under Dick Harlow, massacred Western Maryland, 52 to 0. Yale found Kings Point relatively stubborn, 34-13 and Columbia had a stage a furious rally to edge out Rutgers, 40 to 28 after the New Yorkers had counted 21 points In the first period Holy Cross, which began football Miles Stadium who saw halfbacks Ray Beasley and Sterling Wingo and fullback Bobby Smith lead the ground gaining that brought Tech touchdowns in the first, second and third periods.

Furman's only serious scoring threat of the game was good for a touchdown a few minutes after the first Tech score. Quarterback Goerce Prultt tossed a short pass to Ansel Bridwell for five yards, then heaved another one to Charlie Johnson on the next play for 28 yards and a Furman touchdown. The score was tied at 6-6 when John Little's placement attempt was wide. Bob Smith and quarterback Floyd Bowles reeled oft 18 and 16 yards respectively in a third period march by Tech that began on its own 33 after an exchange of punts. After eight plays had moved the ball to the Furman three, Beasley skirted right end to score.

Cooke's placement was good and Tech led, 20-6. Wingo, used as a spot runner by Tech Coach Jimmy Kltts, almost did It again in the fourth period when he Intercepted Pruitfs pass intended for Griffin and ran 38 yards to the Furman seven. The threat fell short after a fum- ble add a penalty moved "ther-baH back to the 25. Furman took possession on the 15, where Wingo was downed after catching a pass from Bowles.

27. W) Vir ginia Military Instnute unveiled its formation today before approximately 4,000 fans at Alumni Field and what Coach Arthur (Slick) Morton showed in his debut was enough to give the Keydets a 13 to 6 victory over Catawba's Indians, despite the lack of an expected wide-open passing game. The Keydets threw only rour passes during the 1947 opener and their all around attacK was con siderably hampered Bobby Thomason, one of the South's bet ter tossers, left the game midway In the second quarter with an ankle Injury. But on the ground, the Keyaeis gained at will, although they were able to ignite for touchdowns oniy in the second and third periods. They had a net rushing gain of 198 yards.

Catawba, with a streak or navuag scored in 67 games about to be snapped, scored its lone six-pointer with only two minutes remaining In the ball game. Harold Bowen, tailback, passed to Craver for ten yards and the Indians' score. Dor-ton's attempted placement was wide. Keep Record Intact Held to a minus six yards via rushing, the Indians came back riding the air lanes In the closing minutes to keep intact their scoring record which started back in 1939. Hutchinson fumbled for VMI on the Keydet 36.

Six passes later, including two of the Incomplete variety, the Indians had hit the end zone, Bowen to Craver. The Indians had thrown a scare Into the VMI team in the waning minutes of the second quarter. They reached the seven-yard line that time, but four plays later, they had lost 24 yards, thanks to great defensive play by end Jimmy Gill, Ragunas and Captain Chi Mills, who played his heartout at the tackle spot. With that threat' over, the In dians were never near the goal line until they staged their flurry of passes which resulted in ''the -late score. fog.

By HAROLD CLASSEN NEW YORK, Sept. 27 P) A year ago everyone was humming and singing "what a difference a day makes" but tonight it was murmured as a dirge in such college football camps as Georgia, Villa-nova, Washington, Northwestern, Tennessee, Iowa State and Michigan State. Only 24 hours ago those teams were looking hopefully forward to unbeaten seasons.

Instead, each was defeated today in one of the mcst thrill-packed September Saturdays. But those same words just the did refrain at many colleges, including Army. The cadets, minus Blanchard, Davis and Tucker, proudly marched past Villanova, 13 to 0, in a struggle that lured 28,000 spectators to West Point for a glimpse at the refurbished Army PRO FOOTBALL TO HIT FULL STRIDE TODAY NEW YORK, Sept. 27 (P) Professional football moves into high gear tomorrow when the National League's 28th season, only a week and one game old, swings into full stride and the All-America Conference reaches the end of the first month in Its second championship race. The first big Sunday pf the year in the senior circuit will find the Chicago Bears opening the de fense of their NFL championship on the home field of the Queen Bay Packers, the Washington Redskins invading Philadelphia to take on the Eagles and the Detroit Lions visiting the gridiron of the dangerous Chicago Cardinals.

Two more National League games are scheduled Monday night when the New York Giants, Eastern Di vision titlists, open against the Yanks at Boston and the Pittsburg Steelers, who downed Detroit, 17-10 in the only league game to date, entertained the Los Angeles Rams. In the Ail-American conference, tomorrow's schedule sends the New York Yankees and Buffalo Bills, who share the lead In the eastern division with three wins In four starts, against powerful foes. New York invades the territory of the Baltimore Colts and Buffalo will be home to meet the San Francisco '49ers, the runner-up outfit In the western division. Cleveland's defending champion Browns, only team still unbeaten in the Ail-American Conference race, chalked up their fourth straight triumph last night, a 41-21 decision over the Chicago Rockets. Records of tomorrow's opponents in the National League show that Washington leads Philadelphia in previous meetings, 14 to 3 with one game tied, Detroit leads the Cardinals, 17 to 4 with three ties, and the Bears lead Green Bay, 81 to 21 with five ties.

moved 20 yards at right end on a spinner and was stopped on the Duke 39. That set up a first down. But repeated Duke efforts to move from there failed, Folger himself losing ten yards on a reverse. State's training under Coach Beattie Feathers for alertness seemed In the first quarter that it would pay off. Fred Folger of the Blue Devils passed to his own Bud dy Mulligan but Gordon Goodman, State wlngback, broke it up.

Folger shot another pass but Goodman Intercepted it on the State 40 and returned to the Duke 15. But the Wade men, wise on the ways of goal-line stands, stopped the threat on their nine. Both teams started sparring and the fans, settled back for a rough football game. Both sides started knocking them out. Al Derogatls, Duke tackle, and Gwynn Fletcher and Charlie Rich-kus, State tailbacks, were hurt.

Rlchkus apparently had a concussion, according to reports from the dressing room after the game. roe. N.C.

VIRGINIANS PAGE PLAY ALL THE WAY CHARLOTTESVILLE, Sept. 27.

WV-Virginia's power-packed Cavaliers, moving irresistibly on the ground and capitalizing on every break they got, flattened the scrappy George Washington University Colonials, 33-13 here this afternoon before a frigid opening dav gathering of 15,000 customers It was the first time Virginia and Georee Washington had met in a quarter of a century, and as far as the Colonials were concerned, once was too often. The Cavaliers tallied the very first time they got their hands on the ball, Bruce Bailey slithering across from the two-yard ribbon seven minutes after the game started Grover Jones galloped over for a second Virginia score and Biiiy Pennel went 62 yards for the third before Intermission, Papit, Grimes Scor Freshman flash John Papit and an old reliable, George Grimes, went over for the Cavaliers' second half counters. John Mazero. a sub halfback who was top-notch for the Colo' nials all afternoon, pitched a strike to halfback Jim Kiline for the first Colonial score in the second stanza and Charlie Butler tossed one to end Frank Close for the second GW tally with a half minute to go in the ball game. The Cavaliers, principally because cf the failure' of their ends to hold cn to the leather, completed only three out of 14 passes attempted, put made up for this lack with a smashing ground game which rolled up 314 yards against the highly-regarded Colonial line.

Leading the assault were such tried and true characters as Bailey, fullback Grover Jones, Billy Pennel, and George Grimes, whose booming punts got the Virginians out of several bad holes. George Washington, with Mazero doing the pitching, completed six cf 21 forward passes for 122 yards and actually out-first-downed Virginia, 13 to 10. But the Cavaliers Intercepted four of the Colonial tosses to end budding threats and two of these misfires in the last quarter led directly to Virginia touchdowns. rot: Geo. Wash.
