a a 14 NEWS AND OBSERVER. RALEIGH. N. SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 25, 1923. State Defeat Gives Wake Forest 2nd Honors In North Carolina Baptists Have Easy Time Beating Mighty Wolfpack Victory of 14 To 0 Shows Miacle of Training of Coach Harry Garrity FIRST WAKE FOREST VICTORY IN HISTORY Fast Deamon Deacons Show Great Superiority Over Sleepy Slow Techmen By JONATHAN DANIELS.

Not sinco Galileo was forced to deny his belief in his scientifle theory has church won out completely in the struggle with the mechanists. But all those old struggles were as nothing of them were simple little squabbles and the victory was as ashes in comparison wti hthe victory of Wake Forest over State College here yesterday, 14 to 0. The time is at hand for the Dencons of the to fall upon their knees and church, thanks that Harry Garrity is bound to the Baptists with a two contract. Wake Forest will tear the bell apart in jubilation year and burst its throat apart in shouting glory, but the prayer of Thanksgiving for Garrity should be the principal part of the celebration. The winning of Wake Forest after all the dope the other way must look like a miracle to all who did not see the game.

The victory was miracle, but not one of a single magnificent play. The first regular defeat of State College in the history of the encounters was a wonder of coaching more than any wonder of work on the feld yesterday. One man won the game, and that man sat on the sidelines all through the game and watched his men gather in the points of victory. It was not when Rackley lunged a yard across the goal line nor when Rackley sent out a long pass to Armstrong, who carried the ball across for the two touchdowns that Wake Forest won the game. The battie was won at Wake Forest through the season as Garrity whipped a poor lot of green men into an organization and taught that organization to use its power as a chine.

Training Won the Game Yesterday the game was won from the kickoff and all the glory of the struggle showed itself as the glory of the practice field. The game at Riddick Field was not a spectacular day of conquer for Wake Forest--it was a simple display of superior wares with the game won before the teams came on the field. This was a game that is not a complete story in itself. It was a game that goes back to early season when a lot of green youngsters were liked by the University, 22 to 0. They were an awkward lot who went nguinst the University, but the defeat didn't hurt much because Wake Forest was used to the annual licking.

Then the Baptists beat David5011 and they tore down all the fences in that part of Wake county where the They lickel Trinity and had reached the point where the victory did not call for any great celebration. But day Wake Forest bent State College and the jubilation will be one to call forth the old line, "Here come some college boys; come in the house, Mary, and bring the cow." Wake Forest trotted on the feld yesterday, where the bright sun had left the mud of a soggy day undried, and received the kick-off. The teams battled baek and forth for few minutes and then Johnson fumbled a Wake Forest punt and Riley recovered on the State 30-var1 line. From that point on Wake Furest showed its absolute superiority. From the recovered fumble they vanced the ball to the State 16-yard line, a pass grounded in the end-zone stopped the march.

The teams battled on a parity in gal's through scrimmage for the rest of the period with Rackley bettering Elms in punting until the period ended with the ball in State's sessions on its own 33-yard line. Scoring Second Period. The game so far as the final score was determined was played all within the fifteen minutes of the second quarter of the game Wake Forest showed its superiority but lacked the faith score in the first period and in he last two State battled ed a desperately while the Baptists play; safe, steady game. The second quarter was the time and Rackley and Armstrong were the men out of which the final tally came. Elms punted to Greason as the woring second began and Wake Forest took the ball on its own yard line.

Karleskint and Rackley and Greason failed to gather the yardage for a first down and ley punted to State. State failed gain and punted, back. Wake Forest made then failed State stiffened. Luckley punted 45 yards to the end sone and the Wolfpack took the ball on its own 20 yard strip. Elms punted 45 yards to Greason who returned the ball yards and began the first scoring advance.

Wake Forest broke out of the deadlock it had allowed for all. superior power and the ball left the 35 yard mark under the erm Sykes and went to earth again yards down the feld. Rackley made one yard on a lunge. Greason dashed off tackle for seven. Rackles was thrown for a two yard loss and Greason followed him to cover the lost yardage and to add enough more to make another first down.

Baptist Touchdown Then the march destined to break as Wake Forest, was alized 15 yards. distances inconsiderable in the air and ley spun a clear pass into the era of Armstrong for a 15 yard ad vance, Rackley apparently was isfied with the recovery of the penalter but, had dreams of greater things. He took the spheriod him self. Starting easily he swept speed that left the State defense BLUE DEVILS WIN LAST HOME GAME Methodists Beat Newberry Organization.

Wild Kittens caught the instinctive fight of Youngers' varsity Wild Cats and battled their way to a 34 to 0 vietory over the Oak Ridge gridiron here this afternoon. The young Davidsonians circled the flanks and uncovered a few neat fakes while Oak Ridge resorted most entirely to passing with a few good end runs for their gains.

The Freshmen line held like veterans and showed offensive power worthy of note. The wagon road holds opened by this line and the interference afforded Sappingfield and Hewett does not detract from their stellar performances. In Captain Sappingfield Davidson has a future all State man. Big strong, fast and heady with a good broken field running capacity he already of varsity caliber. Hewett proved to be a capable running man.

Johnson and Allen although big credit to Maroon and Black. Captain Clayton, dean Lockie and Rowland were the principal riors for Oak Ridge. Lassiter and McLean each received the oval from the aerole gridiron for good gains tional play of the day when he Hewett performed the only, sensa reached for a shoe string pass from Allen for thirty yards and a touchdown.

It was all over but the shouting and the little quarter gave the Baptist stands the right to that when he flung himself over the line for a touendown on the next play. Ellerbe kicked goal. The humiliation had begun and with a savagery that followed the first taste of blood in those many years the Deacons hardly let Wolfpack line up to receive the kick-off before the State crew was lined ur again before their goal posts attempting in vain to keep Ellerbo kicking the second point after touchdown.

Wake Forest kicked off and Rackley's toe sent the spheriod to Elms who brought the ball back ten yards. The ball lay on the State 35 Val line. The Wolfpack had been wounded by the Deacons and the Wolfpack was anxious for revenge. Revenge is a sweet but a costly thing and if the price to pay is forward passing in your own territory take the fate of State and refuse to pay it. It was an off chance, chance that might be successful and SO be good generalship or might fail and a bonehead play: State took the chance but first W.

Shuford went over right tackle for five yards. Lassiter sent out a pass and it fell to the ground incompletedThen Sprague took the chance for or boneheadness and brilliance, failed. State passed the ball flew straight into the arms of Captain Pegano, of the Demon Deacons. Pegano put his captured beauty on the State 30-yard line and the teams lined up for the next play. That next play was all there was to it.

Rackley shot a long pass 20 yards through the cold, clear air to Armstrong, who broke into a gallop A and went 15 yards across the goal line for the second touchdown. Ellerbe's too was true again and the extra point was added. The packed quarter came to a close with the failure of a State march to the Baptist goal, A punt by Elms to the Wake Forest 10-yard line was brought back and ziven to State on the Baptist 30-yard line AS penalty for Baptist clipping while the ball was in the nir. Lassiter sent a long, beautiful pass, to Lassiter for 20-yard gain first down. The pass was State's bet, and Lassiter sent out another, but this time Emerson stuck his arms into the air and pulled it in.

The period ended with the ball in Wake Forest's possession on the Baptist 15-yard line. As the half ended the game ended, so far as anything more being done was concerned. Wake Forest enme back to play safe and the Wolfpack returned in desperation to and find their infuriated attack futile their hope of a come-back vain. State was big and slow and stoggy and the lighter Baptist line held firm 0 nattack. The Wolfpack backs were too lumbersome to skirt the Baptist ends and the only route or offense left to them was the passing game.

Passing Game State spread herself. From dozen formation she sent out forward passes and all her gains caute by that route. All too often, however, the Deacons broke in and tore them Wake Forest was trained too well, not only to make passes good, to make them bad, and they all "but demolished the aerial attack of State. The air was the field of attack throughout the game. Wake Forest was too light to beat itself to de.th against the massive State line, and the Wolfpack was too slow to round the Baptist ends.

Both teams ndopted the norint attack and both teams made their best gains in the air. Wake Forest went at first, ing their passes for gains in the first two periods of the game with only one or two passes in the latter phases. State waited until the tieond period to begin and until the last period to send them out in flocks. Wake Forest trie: only seven passes and completed four of them, two were grounded and one was intercepted. State attempted forward passes and completed only eight, 17 were grounded and two were intercepted.

Wake Forest Team. It was a struggle between a light, fast, smooth machine and a attack heavy or defense. without Wake ordinated as a machine but certain cogs worked so smoothly in the whole that they show as brilliants in the working of the team. Greason and Armstrong and Rackley and kint made as pretty an nttacking force ba any North Carolina eleven that has taken the field here this year. They were fast and they had power enough for an occas'onal goin19 plunge through the Wolfpack line.

Rackley and Greason together were a pair of the finest working backs seen, together in many a day.

SYRACUSE TRIUMPHS OVER NEBRASKA TEAM Lincoln, Nov.

Orange of Syracuse came out of the East today, met the Nebraska Cornhuskers, vanquishers of Notre Dame, and emerged triumphant.

Battling through three scoreless periods before a crowd of about 000, the teams traded tactic for thetic to avail. The heavy Orange line was not a factor in the victory, for the Nebraska forwards stopped the Syracuse backs consistently.
