season Jim Rogers scored the only touchdown Reeves in fact saw no action after South Carolina's first series of downs in the second half when he reinjured the ankle he sprained in 1 ast a 631arder that set up the final Tar Heel touchdown the one that proved the margin of difference Picture if you will a tank surpassing the performance of a sleek jaguar and you have the irony of Kesler surpassing a Justice single game rushing record Justice's best one-game mark was a 169 yard performance against Virginia in 1946 The Duke loss gives the At lantic Coast Conference title tn NC State with a 5-2 conference record Duke finished the league season with a 3-2-1 mark This one was in the classic mold of other North Carolina-Duke thrillers although at times the Tar Heels threatened to make it a one sided affair leading 7-0 14-3 and 21-9 But the gritty Blue Devils playing more on nerve than anything else managed to close the gap behind the passing of Scotty Glacken who bombed the Tar Heels for 238 air yards On the ground however Duke could manage only 58 yards to North Carolina's whopping 315 and there it lies the story of the football game That and the way Kesler teamed with Ken Willard to shatter the Duke defense Willard added 107 yards to Kesler's record-breaking 172 The football game was actually settled in the second half's first six minutes a point which winning coach Jim Hickey made during post-game comments Down 14-3 at the time Duke roared 69 yards in just three plays after taking the second half kickoff Glacken firing a 38-yard scoring strike to end Chuck Drulis to close the gap to 14-9 On the previous play the Duke quarterback connected with halfback Sonny Odom on a 31-yard aerial Had Duke been allowed to keep up the momentum It would have taken control from the Tar Heels North Carolina needed only possession of the ball to let Duke know who was boss On the second play after the kickoff Kesler broke over the left side veered to the right and found daylight down the right sidelines Only a desperate tackle by Duke's John Gutekunst a tiger on defense all day leveled Kesler at the Blue Devil seven 63 yards from where he started Moments later Willard banged over from the four Dave Braine then came in to kick his third extra point as the Tar Heels widened the bulge to 21-9 with 12:08 remaining in the third quarter Next time they got the

Clemson had commanded since the final five minutes of the first quarter when Tiger kicking specialist Frank Pearce booted a 25-yard field goal Clemson which had never lost to South Carolina here in two previous years missed a golden chance to put the game out of reach in the final period when defensive halfback Phil Marion listed sixth among six Tiger fullbacks intercepted a halfback pass by Marty Rosen to spark a Clemson drive Using fullback Pat Crain as the workhorse and getting an assist from the Gamecocks on two penalties the Tigers moved to a first down on the South Carolina three on
