FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 16, 1931 THE NEWS AND OBSERVER FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 16, 1931 Wake DEACONS BY LONG IN THIRD Dunc Wilson and Bob Edwards Feature Baptists' Drive To Touchdown DEACONS GO OVER FROM MIDFIELD IN NINE PLAYS State's Chief Threat, Made in Last Quarter, Squelched In- side Deacons' 25 Yard Line; Deacs Show Big Improvement To Get Fifth Win in Long Series By ANTHONY J. McKEVLIN. There was only one bit of really sustained offensive play in the Wake Forest-N. C. State gridiron battle Riddick Field yesterday, but the Deacons were the boys to demonstrate the sustained drive and as a result scored a 6-0 win over the Wolfpack of State.

Showing a really clicking attack after a penalty had given them new life and a first down on State's 47- yard line, the charges of Pat Miller marched to touchdown on nine plays, only one of which failed to gain. With Dune Wilson, of Dunn, and Bob Edwards, of Rutherfordton, featuring this attack, the Deacons skirted the State ends and rammed the Tech line for successive first downs until the ball had been advanced within three yards of touchdown. Wilson shot over State's tackle to put the ball within less than a foot of the scoring station and then Dick Shinn, fullback, hit the middle of things for touchdown. Hutchins' place-kick try was weak and a which hitherto had failed to produce scoring threat once more settled into a punting battle which was interrupted only when State advanced inside the Deacons' 25-yard line six minutes from the end of the game. It's Demons Again.

But here the Deacon forwards turned into demons -like the good old days-and the first play was thrown for a yard loss. The next was a pass effort and it resulted in a setback of 14 yards when Big Elsie Webb crashed through to hound Lanning, the passer, and Kessler made the tackle. Another pass was tried, but it was grounded and then State had to kick, the punt rolling over the goal-line. Miller's Deacons, displaying a marked improvement over their work against Carolina and Furman, were tough nuts on defense and they made their one offensive charge count for six points. While the Baptists were about the business of going to -the touchdown land, the team clicked.

The interference mowed down Techs in effective style and the ball-car-' riers had the kind of push and drive which count. Ability to muster its power into the big charge brought victory to a Deacon team spent the earlier and later minutes of the game without getting into State's side of midfield. In the main the affair an exchange of punts. Bob and real later distance Bob on their McQuage, kicks were for retting But Shinn was kicking better than usual to keep the Deacons in the running. While the Tech kickers were getting more distance on their punts, they were kicking frequently from inside State territory and on six occasions the Tech punts rolled over the Deacon goal.

That little rule which says that in such cases the ball is to be put in play on the receiving team's 20-yard line was worth exactly 120 yards to the Deacs during the afternoon. However, one -a 50-yard lift by McQuagewas downed on the Deacons' fouryard line near the sideline at the start of the final period. But Paul Hutchins, whose generalship of the Baptists was mighty good, moved the ball forward three yards and outside, and then Shinn kicked out to the 39- yard line to ease what was for Deacon followers a critical situation. Rain, which began during the intermission between halves, was falling heavily when the Deacons began their scoring drive. In reality, the Wake Forest march was for 63 yards, although the big punch came from State's 47-yard line.

Taking a State punt on his own 30-yard line, Hutchins returned seven yards. Here came the first view of real interference when Bob Edwards circled his own left end for nine yards. Dune Wilson hit the middle for a first down one yard inside the Deacs' half of the field. Dune Wilson lost four and a pass try failed, but Dune got two. Shinn then kicked to State's 25-yard line and the ball bounded to the 17, from where Charley Jeffrey ran it back three yards.

But a penalty on State on the play gave the Deacons the ball on the Techs' 47-yard line with a first down. And here started the Edwards-Wilson ground-gaining corporation. Edwards, to the left, swept around end for eight yards. Then came Wilson to the right, this time for 12 yards and first down. Edwards, Wilson, Shinn.

This put the ball on State's 27. Edwards, wide to his left behind good interference, moved to State's 14 before run outside and nabbed from behind by LeFort. Wilson was good for three yards over guard. The rain had ceased by now and the sun was making an effort to shine again. Wilson, around the right side of his own line, moved the ball up five yards and to the six yard stripe.

State took time out. Bohannon dove through to toss Edwards for a twoyard loss. Dune Wilson faked a pass and then crashed through the Tech Forest SCORE MARCH PERIOD Deacs Break Ice Wake Forest. N. C.

Gridders THERE'S A Defeat State, 6-0, In Fair Week Clash TOUCHDOWN IN THIS MIX-UP The scramble pictured here is the reason why Wake Forest supporters were smiling last night-and still smiling today. It's the touchdown play on which Dick Shinn, fullback, scored to give the Deacons a 6-0 win over N. C. State on Riddick Field here yesterday. Shinn tallied on the next play after Dune Wilson had plunged from the three-yard line to put the ball within less than a foot of score.

Arrow points to ball, tucked In 1 Shinn's arms. Stuart Chandler Pilots Tar Heels in Scrimmage Erstwhile Fullback Supplants Branch at Quarter; Heels Maul Frosh Chapel Hill, Oct. The North Carolina varsity ran roughshod over the freshmen in scrimmage today. Coach Chuck Collins worked on a varied offense for use against Georgia Saturday. Stuart Chandler, veteran fullback who was shifted to quarter in place of Johnny Branch, suspended for violating training rules performed to the satisfaction of the Tar Heel coaches.

Carolina's backfield may lack the co-ordination and reliability of its line, as proven against Vandy and Florida, and it certainly will not match Georgia's brilliant backfield contingent. The Tar Heels will be fighting twice as hard, however, if today's drills furnish any criterior. and it looks like Georgia will be in for the toughest sort of opposition. Branch was suspended, along with Roy McDade, second string tackie, for the rest of the season for infraction of training rules during the recent trip to Florida. The suspension came on the eve of Carolina's toughest game, but Coach Collins applied the rules without considering where or whom the blow would strike.

Chandler appears a certain starter from among several quarterback candidates. Johnny Peacock, who has been running second string, was hurt in scrimmage this week. Chandler played quarterback as a freshman and has more experience and better all-round A football player than any of the other candidates. Behind him will be Smoky Ferebee, a light but scrappy junior who by virtue of a year's experience with the reserves stands slightly aLove Charlie Woollen, a sophomore who has the virtue of being a good punter, and above Watt Jones, understudy of Woollen as freshman quarterback last year. Realignments will be necessary at other posts.

If Chandler remains shifted, Hans Lassiter wlil he the first string fullback, with Houston, Anaucauskas, and maybe Ray Thompson, who has played right half this year, to do his relief work. Left half will probably be affected too. With Branch gone, a new punter will have to be found for the first string backfield, and that may mean Bill Croom or Tom White will have to be started over Phipps at that posto. Rip Slusser and the right halfbacks alone will be unaffected. Carolina's strong first string line will stay the same, for McDade, though Carolina's best tackle year, hadn't been playing up to par this year and was running second string.

RALEIGH HIGHS PLAY AT NEW BERN TODAY Raleigh High gridders meet the New Bern High School football team in New Bern this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.

On next play Wilson put the ball less than a foot from goal and then Shinn went over. State's Chief Threat. State's nearest approach to a score started at after a Deacon punt had there by Mcmidfield. Quage, who was nabbed on the spot by Dupree. A pass attempt failed.

By this time a rainbow had appeared to cheer fans who had been soaked by the showers during intermission. Dudley, Deac end who played a nifty game, messed up an end play and Webb made the tackle for a threeyard loss. McQuage tried a long pass which failed, but a penalty on the Deacons gave State a first down on Wake Forest's 49-yard line. Don Wilson made five, and on the next play passed to McQuage to put the ball on the Deac's 35-yard line Don got two more and then passed to Gurneau, who was grabbed by Hutchins, to advance the ball to the Deacs' 22-yard line. Here came a resurrection of the Demon Deacons and the threat was checked, as already related.

The game marked the twenty-fifth meeting on the gridiron of Wake county's colleges and the victory was Wake Forest's fifth. None of the games has ended in a tie. Ace Thrill Nullified. The biggest thrill for the 6,500 fans who turned out for the Fair Week game came in the first five minutes on an apparent touchdown play which went for nil as a penalty on State nullified the pass which provided the thrills. State had taken a kick and was on Wake Forest's 44.

Don Wilson dropped back and flipped a flat pass into Dellinger's hands on the 40. Dink, squirming from tacklers and side-stepping in fine style, eluded the Deacons and went over the goal line. But the horn had sounded and when the ball was brought back the Wolfpack was penalized 15 yards for starting the play too soon after shifting. Deacs Cross Dope. The Deacons' victory was an over.

turning of the dope. Pre-game speculation couldn't figure enough offensive punch in the Baptist machine to tally. But pre-game speculators are used to being "misinformed" by now. Miller's club greatly improved. His big tackles and Williams-approached their old style yesterday to lead a scrappy line while the backs handled themselves in improved fashion over earlier games and that Hutchins lad piloted the club nicely.

Dudley, a newcomer at end, was in the limelight quite often. Tom Cornwall, center, was a big figure in the Deacs' play. Espey turned in a good game at center for State but in the main the Deac linemen overshadowed the Pack players.

ANGIER HIGHS WIN. Angier, Oct. Davis' Angier high gridders scored a 13-8 victory over the Sanford high reserves yesterday afternoon. Charlotte, Oct.

athletic authorities i in the Carolinas appear to be undecided about Owen D. Young's request that at least one football game be played by each college this fall for charity. Mr. Young, member of the president's committee on unemployment relief, urged that colleges unable to set aside a regularly scheduled game for relief funds, should try to play a post-season game. North Carolina State and Wake Forest are two North teams "willing to co-operate" neither Carolina, has any definite plans.

Dr. R. R. Sermon, in charge of athletics at State, said the matter had been discussed before Mr. Young's announcement but that it was impossible to make an announcement at this time.

Pat Miller, Wake Forest coach, said his athletic council would consider the request. pointed out that the Deacons play only one home game and that would not draw enough for the purpose. Davidson, through Norton Pritchard, a college official, said it would be impossible for the Wildcats to play a charity game as no post-season games are allowed by the faculty. He said football receipts at Davidson dropped off $7,000 last year and were still showing a decrease this season. This, he said, would eliminate the possibility of designating a regular game for charity.

Duke University Blue Devils are ready to tackle any formidable ponent for the benefit of the unemployed Coach Wallace Wade declared tonight. "We have lost money on both of our home games this season and I think it would be unwise to schedule a charity game here but Duke is willing to do anything i it can to aid the situation," Coach Wade said. University of North Carolina officials have done nothing officially about, engaging suggestion in a has charity been game made that the Tar Heels meet the University of Florida. The contest would be staged in Durham. "We have not discussed such a game officially," Dr.
