prevail yesterday and North Carolina's Tar Heels beaten four times during the season handed the heavily favored Blue Devils beaten only by Tennessee a 6-3 licking and a crowd of 40000 spectators a big surprise It was Duke's first loss against Southern Conference competition since Carolina turned the same trick in 1937 -The Tar Heels in no way resembling the team which lost to the University of Richmond the week before (they even wore different jersies being clad in dark blue jersies instead of the familiar sky-blue ones they usually wear) won the hard way yesterday running and passing on a sustained drive of 75 yards culminating in a Jim Lalanne-to-Joe Austin pass to wipe out three-point lead gained in the second quarter by Tony field goal from the 21-yard line Carolina Scores Carolina's touchdown came (early in the fourth quarter and thereafter the Tar Heel forwards who played their very hearts out all the way rose to new heights to stave off Duke's frantic bid for victory The third-game charm worked again for the Tar Heels Duke having lost every third year to Carolina since Coach Wallace Wade started his regime at the "Duchy of Durham" Might didn't make the right' score and the rapier overcame the broad sword as Carolina's heavenly flower Sweet Lalanne led1 that 75-yard scoring drive Dunkle Hurt Methodist might did take its toll i squad even though it failed to assert Itself enough to win the game Center Carl Suntheimer aided by trainers limped off the field in the first half Harry Dunkle the kicking blocking back was carried off the field shortly before Carolina's touchdown with a leg injury Bill Faircloth the brightest star in either line was knocked cold in the final period and was dragged tb the bench Austin the sophomore wingback who pulled in Lalanne's pass on Duke's five-yard line and continued on across the goal line also had to be helped from the playing field Line Play Outstanding But Carolina's line while it bent at times under the bludgeoning it received from hammering backs never broke Early In the game attack pierced to nine-yard line In the second quarter the- Blue Devils moved within 10 yards of a touchdown Midway of the third period Steve Lach broke away and raced 58 yards to 16-yard line but the -Blue Devils budge the Tar Heel forwards with pay dirt insight Earlier in the third quarter the Tar Heels stopped Wes McAfee on fourth down when Duke was on the 21-yard line and needed but a yard for a first down Lalanne Engineers Drive That dogged determination of the Carolina line is the story of Carolina's great victory That and the scoring drive engineered by Lalanne That drive began late in the third quarter shortly after Lach's- long run and carried over into the fourth period Lalanne was personally responsible for 74 of the 75 yards thfe Tar Heels traveled through and over the big Duke linemen He ran with the ball seven times during the uninterrupted drive gaining 28 yards and completed six out of seven passes including the pay-off aerial good for 46 yards -Dnke Line Holds Until that drive the Tar Heels hadn't made a first down and appeared to be in for a drubbing The Dukes up front Ends

VMI Less Than 2000 Watch Contest By Dick Williamson Times-Ditpatch Staff Writer LYNCHBURG Big Joe Muha 205-pound battering ram led the Fighting Squadron to a 20-0 victory over Maryland's Old Liners here yesterday before a crowd of less than 2000 persons who sat shivering in Lynchburg's new Municipal Stadium Muha started his one-man scoring pdrade early in the second quarter when he intercepted a pass and raced 65 yards to a touch' down and he finished It in the fourth period by adding two more touchdowns on short smashes at the line Nelson Catlett kicked two extra points from placement Muha missed the first one With the exception of cannon-ball smashes into the line and through it and a brief aerial attack with Son Shelby at the controls In the fourth quarter the Keydets had little to boast of offensively for Utp Terps outgained them on the ground and in the air Maryland made 13 first downs to I's eight- but most of the Terps' yardage was picked up in midfield or deep in their own territory Maryland Threatens Once Maryland threatened only once driving down to the 30 at -the tail end the third period but the threat was cooled off on the play of the fourth quarter when Joe Murphy fumbled and Billy Walker I's brilliant guard recovered for the Keydets on the 30-yard line From this point the Keydets marched the full 70 yards for their second touchdown the only sustained drive they staged Shelby started it going by passing to Muha for 12 yards and then the big sophomore reversed the battery and fired oqe to Shelby for 13 yards and a first down on Maryland's 40 Muha pounded the line for seven yards twice in succession to move the ball down to the 26 and then Catlett tossed a long pass to Shelby who made a fine catch on the four-yard line and Continued on Page 5 Column 3 Eagl es Edge Hoy as 19-18 hi Tliriller BOSTON A grand Boston College team that was amply equipped with fight speed and inspiration fought its way into the front ranks of the nation's football teams yesterday by removing Georgetown from the ranks of the undefeated 19 to 18 in a frantic struggle before 40000 frenzied customers at Fenway Park Content to win their first seven games with a minimum of plays and formations the unbeaten Eagles let the cat out of the bag and their trick plays with it as they played wide-open and smart football on offense determined football on defense and gamewinning football all the way Leading by 19 to 16 with 65 seconds left to play Boston was backed down deep in its own territory with fourth down coming up and 18 yards to go from its own nine Deciding to trust to its defense to keep Georgetown at bat for those 65 seconds the Eagles dropped Charley O'Rourke back into the end zone ostensibly for a punt Thrown for Safety But the 155-pound Eagle triple-threat a great back yesterday afternoon wasn't risking a blocked kick Like a penned-up fox and as smart O'Rourke scurried ck and forth in his end zone until finally he was downed as he had meant to be all the time That safety brought Georgetown up to within a point of Boston but Boston's faith in its defense proved to be founded on fact as the clock ran out with the desperate Hoy as fast getting nowhere Thus Georgetown went down to defeat for the first time in three seasons and 24 games and came through its eighth straight year without either defeat or tie Last night Eagle supporters were looking ahead to anticlimatic victories over Auburn and Holy Cross in the last two games and then an initatfS to the New Orleans Sugar Baste' This was a football team which proved to have the plays and the a

fighting crew of Virginia Cavaliers went down under steamroller 41-14 before 7000 frost-bitten fans The Virginia team unable to penetrate beyond 47 in the first quarter uncorked a bridge of passes in the third period to march 71 yards to its first touchdown The second came in the final quarter when Dudley gathered -in last kickoff and raced 87 yards for the tally The slender halfback who weighs 168 pounds also kicked both extra points touchdowns were the first scored on Tennessee on Shield Watkins Field since Ken Kavanaugh of Louisiana State turned the trick in 1938 For the rest of the game

21-0 at half time Murden Smashes Vols Virginia's dogged courage confronted powerhouse all the way and Ray Murden Cavalier center slashed through the Vols- line repeatedly to smear drives behind the

Part of the story was told in the statistics Tennessee's mighty Continued on Page 5 Colunfii 6 4 came way to score a 7-to-0 victory before 50000 shivering spectators The hopes of the Fighting Irish for their first perfect season in a decade foundered on their own mistakes and the inspired play of the Iowans who had lost four games in a row Iowa using only 15 men in the entire game staved off every Irish thrust until the final period when their opportunity came Notre Dame early in the fourth drove to the one-yard line but the much-defeated underdogs held and took the ball on downs Jim Youell punted out and the Irish roared back to the 10-yard line At this point Captain Milt Pie-pul fumbled and Iowa's captain Mike Enich snatched the ball in midair and ran 36 yards to the Iowa 46
