McKEVLIN. Kenan Stadium, Chapel Hill, Sept. 37, Wake Forest 0.

That's what happened here this afternoon to amaze more than 11,000 fans who braved a sweltering afternoon to watch the University of North Carolina Tar Heels open their 1931 football campaign against the Deacons of Wake Forest in what had been expected: to be a closely fought affair. It may have been a floral horseshoe-presented the Tar Heel squad just before the game by a Durham florist-that caused these Tar Heels to do such things as to make Chuck Collins, their coach, into all sorts of a poor prophet. Chuck had been bemoaning the state of things football at the Hill before today's game. Tonight Chuck let other folks do the talking and SO he had no explaining to do. He just grinned.

Rookies, Vets, Etc. Rip Slusser, Johnny Branch and Stuart Chandler were veteran backs who had a hand in the merry-go: round which knocked Demon off the front of the Wake Forest nickname. But there were quite a few rookies who proceeded to grab top places in the Tar Heel cast when given opportunity. John Daniel, halfback from Weldon and Johnny Peacock quarterback understudy for the brilliant Branch -were the main noises among the rookie backs. This Peacock lad, who used to fit about the gridiron Fremont high, turned in the most sensational run of the day when he took a Wake Forest kick-off and sprinted 85 yards to touchdown in the closing minute of the first half.

Daniel, whose home is at Wel don, added to Eastern Carolina's share in the victory by making himself known to fang in a hurry with several bits of fine ball-carrying, interception of a pass and later tion of a touchdown -all within not so many minutes of the busy second period in which Carolina scored three touchdowns. The haired Slusser, a Virginian, tallied Tar Heels' first two touchdowns, one in the first period and also counted his club's fifth This came in the third six pointer, All were on wide dashes around end and in each case Rip ripped over the goal line standing up. Deacons Under Rating. While the Tar Heels were surprising the fans with their prowess, the Deacons were offering a surprise in their lack of prowess. The vaunted forward wall of the Baptists -a line which gave Tar Heels lots of trouble last fall that troublosome today.

Coach Pat Miller was without a dangerous man in his backfield and none of his combinations were able to work with precision. More than once the Deacon backs blocked traffic for Wake Forest counted only first down. This came in the second period shortly after Shinn had intercepted a pass on Wake Forest's Dune Wilson, whose home is at Dunn, made six yards. After being stopped for no gain, Shinn shoved through the middle of things for a first down. But the Baptists were checked in a hurry when Daniel intercepted a pass.

Never did Deacons get possession of the ball on Carolina's sido of midfield. That tells a whale of a lot. Collins Uses 29 Players. Coach Collins tossed 29 of his proteges into the combat, and, despite the swift combination changes and presence at times of an entirely rookie outfit on the field, the Tar Heels continued to go places and quite often they were doing things. Erwin Walker, Charlotte youth, and Theron Brown, from the Gate City of Greensboro, were outstanding on the ends for the Tar Heels.

Gilbreath, the -headed center, was a tower, and, as is his custom, got in one intercepted pass. It would be one of the strange things of sport if a game passed without this rangy pivot man intercepting a pass. Tom Cornwell, tackle, turned into a center, was about the most consistent workman in the Deacon line. Carolina had a' touchdown by the time the game was six minutes old and the old grads who had come back to the Hill with shaky feelings began to turn their faces to grinning. Before it was all over grins had turned (Please Turn to Page Two.) for SPORTS SCRATCHES By Reynolds SAW THE DEAC-HEE GaME, AND KNOw BLUE.

Williamsville, N.

Sept. -With a confident ease that belied her youth, 20-year-old Helen Hicks, of Hewlett, L. today wrested the women's national golf title from the veteran Glenna Collett Vare, of Philadelphia, a five-time champion. When Miss Hicks ended the 36-hole final match, 2 and 1, on the 35th green this afternoon, it was first time in three years that the mighty Glenna had lost the crown. She played against Miss Hicks in the semi-finals last year, but won, 5 and 3.

Because of her easy victory last year it appeared that Mrs. Vare was unprepared for the struggle that confronted her today. In addition to her surprise at the brand of golf the Long Island girl displayed, Mrs. Vare had extreme difficulty with many shots which should have been easy for a player of her experience. The victory was despite Mrs.

Vare's fame. Most of the gallery seemed rooting for Helen, won over to her side by the smile with which she greeted the result of each hole. The new champion is short and stocky, freckled, and friendly. She takes her game with apparent ease, and regards her gallery with cordial good humor. Oh, WellHelen's attitude toward a tournament appears to be that it is just another game.

None of the reserve, the distant attitude, that other famous golfers display, for her. As the semifinals started yesterday, she stood talking casually with friends, glancing occasionally toward the starter's tent to catch the cue for teeing off, flipping a passerby with a club and smiling broadly when he turned to say "Good luck, Helen." Miss Hicks trying for the highest women's golfing honor back in 1927, at Cherry Valley, whon she was a girl only 16 years old. She failed to qualify, but she tried it again, the next year and the next, and succeeded in reaching the semifinals at Los Angeles last year. It was an unfortunate match Miss Hicks made then. She was paired against Glenna Collett, then in the peak of her form, and went out promptly, 5 and 3, But this year it was a different story.

She qualified with an 87, five below the, medalists, and sailed through first victory over Miss Mildred Hacky, Chicago, 6 and 5. In the second round Miss Hicks met a former champion, Miss Marion Hollins, of Santa Cruz. She won that by a close margin-1 up on the 19th bole. In her next match, Helen eliminated Mrs. Leona Pressler, of San Gabriel, 4 and 3, and then went into the semi-finals with Miss Enid Wilson, British champion, of (Please Turn to Page CLARY STARS AS SOUTH WINS OVER DUKE Duke South Carolina Position Crawford Hejek Left End Friedman Adair Left Tackle Carpenter Hughey Left Guard Adkins J.

Milligan scored in the second after recovering a punt on Catawba's 30-yard line.

A series of drives and passes led to a touchdown by Taylor after which Baker dropkicked the extra point. After Catawba had driven 60 yards on three passes in the final quarter, Milligan stopped them on the twoyard line and then punted short. Catawba drove 20 yards and Weber carried the ball over. Appanitis placekicked the point. Both teams fumbled frequently, Milligan often offside and much ground was lost.

High School football team showed strong defensive ability here yesterday in holding Fayetteville Highs to a scoreless tie. Fayetteville had possession of the ball the majority of the time, but Dunn stuck to defensive tactics, and as a result neither club really threatened.

C. State College Wolfpack, making its debut under Coach Johnny "Clipper" Smith, proved too strong for Davidson's Wildcats here tonight and turned back the Presbyterians before 3 crowd of close to 7,000 people in the second Big Five game ever played under lights in North Carolina. The score was: State 18, Davidson 7. While spectators did not shed their coats tonight as they did at Chapel Hill this afternoon, the thermometer showed anything but a low degree and it was much warmer than a year ago when the Wildcats defeated State in a night game here. State Starts Fast.

The Wolfpack put over a pair of touchdowns in the first period but failed at extra points, Following the opening kick-off the Techs held Davidson and then started a touchdown march which was climaxed with a 21-yard scoring run by Dink Dellinger.

Funts were swapped and then State began a concerted march but Davidson checked this on its own 40 yard line as the first period ended. Techs Score Again. The second period found State adding its third touchdown. The Techs got to going and a brilliant run by Dellinger put Techs within 30 yards of the 'Cat goal but a 15-yard penalty proved a setback.

Cumiskey plowed through line for 22 yards but the Techs then were halted. The clubs swapper punts, with the 'Pack getting the advantage. Blanton fumbled a a a punt by Greason, State kicker, and the 'Pack recovered on its own 49-yard line.

FOOTBALL MOVES TO CENTER STAGE Surprising Upsets Add Spice To Opening Games in All Sections of Land By The Associated Press The nation's college football teams inaugurated the 1931 season yesterday to the usual accompaniment of high scores and with a few jolting form reversals tossed in for good measure. These upsets--and some of them were astonishing-occufred in widely scattered sectors of the far-flung football front. In the east, for instance, Bob Higgins' Penn State eleven bowed, 7-0, to little Waynesburg college, a team which won only two games out of nine last season. Lehigh, another of the so-called major squads, was beaten by Ursinus, 12-7, in another mild jolt to the experts. Most of the other games in the last, however, ran true to form.

Out in the far west where competition was tough anyway, Slip Madigan's Gaels from St. Mary's of California, started where they left off last year, upsetting the powerful Southern California outfit, 13-7. Stanford was held to scoreless tie by the Olympic club of San Francisco and California had to come from behind in the last quarter to nose out Santa Clara, 6-2. The Utah Indians, perennial champions of the Rocky Mountain conference, met with their first defeat since 1927 when they bowed to Washington. 7-6.

In the South, the 7-0 victory South Carolina registered over the highly touted Duke eleven was the highspot of the day although there was considerable surprise that Virginia could get no better than a tie with Randolph-Macon, 7-7. Another Virginia conference school, Richmond, conquered Virginia Military, 7-0. In the big ten, Chicago succeeded in beating college of Iowa. 12-0, but bowed to Hillsdale of Michigan, 7-0, in the second half a doubleheader. Minnesota had better luck, turning back North Dakota State, 13-7, and Ripon, 30-0.

Indiana nosed out Ohio University, champions of the Buckeye conference, 7-6. SCRUB HALFBACK GRABS PASS TO DEFEAT V. M. I. Lexington, Sept.

WOLFF, Associated Press Staff Writer. Columbia, Sept. by Earl Clary, the "Galloping Ghost from Gaffney," the University of South Carolina Gamecocks triumphed over a football machine from Duke University by a 7 to 0 score here today. For the first time since 1929, Wallace Wade, the new Duke coach, who went to the North Carolina institution from Alabama, tasted defeat. The lone tally came early in the second period.

A Duke fumble placed the ball in South Carolina possession 18 yards from the goal line. Then Clary, a sophomore playing his first college game, put on steam. Clary Scores. His first trot around right end netted 13 yards. Two plays later he was called on but could garner only a yard, the yard his teammate, Dick Shinn, had lost.

The next time he delivered the goods. Taking the ball one a wide run around his left end. he swished past, tacklers and sped across the stripe untouched. The South Carolinians threatened again in the third quarter and drove the ball from their own 40-yard to Duke's 14-yard marker, only to lose it on a fumble. Duke's Chief Chance.

Duke's most serious threat came in the first quarter after an exchange of punts had given them the ball on South Carolina's 20-yard strip, but the forward wall of the Gamecocks proved too sturdy. A crowd of 12,000 persons watched from the Fair Grounds wooden bowl Billy Laval's untried sophomores proved their mettle against the more experienced Duke aggregation. Six of the men who started for South Carolina were playing for the first time in varsity competition. Despite the heat, both teams played jam-up ball, with more finish than in the usual opening contest. Toward the last, notwithstanding numerous substitutions, the players were showing the effects of tie midsummer temperatures.

Duke Passes Fail. In the fourth quarter, Duke tempted a passing game in the desperate hope of being able to score, but failed. With only a moment to go, Laney, substituting for Mason, heaved a long one to James, Duke end, who appeared in the stands to have caught it on the five-yard marker, but officials ruled was out of bounds he snagged it. The chief feature of the game was Clary's nifty running. Time and again, it appeared Duke tacklers had him, but he always managed to wiggle his hips just enough or to make a clever bit of side-stepping to evade them.

On one occasion, when a would be tackler dived at him, he leaped straight in the air, drew his legs up to send the Duke man groveling in the dust on his face. The longest run of the game, however, was made by a Duke back, bott, substituting for Ershler. On an end run he stepped off 23 yards before Hambright, Gamecock safety man, snagged him. How It Went. The game started with Adkins of Duke kicking off purposely short and Mason of Duke picking up the ball in midfield.

Rossiter's punt was downed on the South Carolina oneyard line. Hambright had to drop behind his own goal to punt and sent it only to the 20-yard marker. Duke tried the South Carolina line but failed and then sought to gain by an aerial route. Both paths were blocked and South Carolina took the ball. After Shinn had garnered sereral yards, Clary tackle for 11 to give the Carolinians a first down.

A Duke 15-yard penalty for holding gave them another to put the ball in midfield. Another 15- yard penalty accounted for the third Gamecock first down and a pass, Clary to Hejek, gave them 20 yards. were. stopped and shortly afterward came the Duke fumble that put the South Carolina team in scoring position. Except for Clary's touchdown there was little action in the second quarter.

South Carolina used numerous substitutions and Wade sent in his first string backs to aid Mason, Duke made three first downs in the period to South Carolina's none. One was from a pass, Mason to Brewer, (Please Turn to Page Two.).
