State in upsetting Duke's Blue Devils, assured Collins' Heels of the University 1931 football championship of the Old North State. The football game here was with Davidson's scrappy Wildcats and the Tar Heels, with a couple 'of long scoring rush in the first period and a concentrated drive in the fourth quarter, turned in a 20-0 victory. Over in Durham-less than ten miles away-State defeated Duke, 14 to 0. in a game in which Johnny Smith's Wolfpack started in the underdog role and came out the conquering hero.

had newspaper writers, Big' Five coaches and scouts and others surprised and inquiring at first if someone wasn't trying to fool 'em, But no one was trying any fooling--unless it was the Wolfpack in the way it fooled the pickers and everyone else in exhibiting a great brand of play for a decisive win over the Dukemen. One more incidentally. While scores of other games were announeed to the fans during this contest here the score was not announced. This due. no doubt.

State to the habit crowds at games at Carolina and Duke have of cheering when the other of the two schols is behind in the scoring of a game played elsewhere. It's a habit which has been written about before in no praising terms. But this is to be a story, not a sermon. and about Carolina's 20-0 victory over Davidson. Chuck's Third Title.

The current Big Five championship, clinched today by the Tar Heels is the third for Carolina during the six years under Head Coach Chuck Collins. Chuck came here in 1926 when Davidson won the title; in 1927 State won the championship; Carolina copped in 1928 and 1929 and last season Duke acquired the crown. That gives Chuck a .500 mark in Big Five titles. And today's turn of events makes the Tar Heels champions in the Big Five percentage column regardless of the outcome of their game with Duke in Durham a week hence. Long Runs Score.

Carolina's, gridders clicked on two plays the first period this afternoon to send ball away on long scoring trips. The first came after seven minutes of play when Bill Croom, the Burgaw boy, was piloted through a nice hole the right 'side of the Davidson line, shot into the clear, and then dashed 30 yards for touchdown. He handily outstripped Peabody Davidson safety man. The stage had been set for the run by a Carolina advance on pair of first downs from its own 43-yard line. The scoring thrust in the opening period saw little "Smoky" Ferebee, New Bern product, dashing 66 yards to the promised land.

A quick kick by Pearce had caught the Tar Heels napping but had rolled over the goal. Slusser got 14 yards in two tries, and then came Ferebee's goalward jaunt This was through Davidson's left side and the little quarterback was rifled into the open in a hurry, and had a couple of mates on in case they were needed for blocking. They weren't. Chandler, whose placekick try after the first touchdown was partly blocked by Raker and had missed, tried again. Raker again partly blocked the kick but it was good.

Are Scrappy. Don't get the idea from that 20-0 score that the Tar Heels walked over the Wildcats. doesn't walk over Davidson teams. Today was no exception. The Davidsonians were scrappy ever, and much of the afternoon saw Davidson linemen performing in Carolina's backfield.

Captain Raker, Wagner and the ends were among those boys, but Buddy Gardner, the Wildcat center, was the chief thorn lad in Carolina's this side. Gardner A crafty on defense, was ever troublesome. Davidson couldn't offer much itself in the way of offense but it kept rapping away and scrapping away and from the first period scoring until Carolina got on bonnet in the fourth quarter it was pretty much a give-and-take affair. Charlie left-footed kicker and left-handed' passer, was Davidson's best offensive back. He Turn to Page Three.) MEET THE 1931 FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS OF NORTH CAROLINA 3 88 46 77 051 96 38 3 87 48.

ARMY BURIED IN PITTSBURGH FOG Panthers Pull Good Old FogPassing Game On Cadets to Register 26-0 Win Pittsburgh, Nov. (AP) -A a swirling ground fog that enshrouded the big municipal stadium today proved a perfect screen for the passing attack of Coach Jock Sutherland's Pittsburgh Panthers as they took to the atmosphere to hand a strong Army eleven its worst defeat of the season. When the final gun sounded and 62,000 spectators were able to relax from the tiring task of peering through the fog, the scoreboard read: Pit 26, Army 0. Fourteen hun-' dred Cadets who had sat in sience from the opening whistle made their way out of the arena and prepared to return to West Point.

There was never a doubt outcome, so completely did the Panthers dominate the situation. Their backs, Heller and Reider, tore gaping holes through the Army parts all afternoon and their aerial raids demoralized the Cadets' defense. Not once did the Cadets penetrate Pittsburgh territory. It was only on rare occasions barelegged Army backs had an opportunity to carry the ball. Using the forward pass with proficiency, the Panthers pegged aerials through and over the West Pointers for all four of their touchdowns and rolled total of 302 yards by that route.

winners collected 16 first down against three for the Cadets, who made only 32 yards from serimmage all afternoon. Had it not been for several stouthearted stands on their goal line, the Cadets, playing before a Pittsburgh audience for the first time, would have gone down under an overwhelming score. Once, in the final period, they checked the Panthers' assault only one foot from the last line. Again they held on their five-yard stripe, and on three other occasions they turned back the charging Pitt's inside the 20-yard. Then Parade Started.

Although they marched to Army's five-yard line in the opening period, the Panthers did not succeed in scoring until the second. Then they struck with startling swiftness. Collins, regular right end, who never before threw a pass for Pitt in 8 regular game, went back far in his own territory as if to kick. It was third dowa and Army's secondary deployed properly. But, instead of punting, Collins heaved a pass.

It nestled in Reider's arms some 45 yards from the Cadets' goal line. He dodged an Army back and sprinted across without a close pursuer. Heller scored the next in the third period, when he took a lateral from Reider and jogged 12 yards across. Cutri, substitute quarterback, caught a short toss from Heller behind the line of scrimmage and weaved 40 yards through a broken field for the third. The last one came with minutes left to play, when Heller completed a pass to Sebastian, another substitute, for 24 yards.

Sebastian took it almost on the goal line. McMurdo gave the Panthers two extra points with placekicks. Out of 18 passes attempted, Pitt completed 10 fo a distance equal to three lengths of the field. The Cadets completed four out of 15 for 28 yards. CALIFORNIA CRUSHES IDAHO'S ELEVEN, 18-0 Berkeley, Nov.

Tulane last year held the co-championship with Alabama. At Knoxville it looked pretty bad for the fighting Tennessee, Volunteer eleven at the Commodores leading 7 to 6, but Gene MeEver, halfback flash of the Vols, arose to the occasion and the team rang enough additional points to win 21 to 7, after he had given them a touchdown lead in the third period. Florida and South Carolina deadlocked to a 6-all tie and the battling Auburn Tiger took Sewanee for a ride, 12 to 0. North Carolina State turned the trick in defeating an old rival, Duke, 14 to 0.

Loughran, Philadelphia's conten der for the heavyweight title, has extended his winning streak to 12 in a row at the expense of Paulino Uzchudun of Spain. Despite the handicap of a slightly sprained ankle over the last five rounds, Loughran outpointed the burly basque in a ten round bout fought before a crowd of 10,000 in Madison Square Garden last night.

14. (AP) Georgia Tech today failed to convert a point after either of its two touchdowns and bowed to Pennsylvania beneath a 13 to 12 score. The longest run of the season on Franklin Field was the outstanding play of the game. It was a 92- yard return of a punt by young Pat Barron, of the Clarksville, Barrons, whose clan includes Red and Carter, Tech gridiron luminaries of other years. Barron's run was a sparkling performance, achieved apparently with ease.

He bucked no opponents and straight armed no Instead he seemed to slither through the Quakers in his way. Down on his eight-yard line, where he caught Carl Perina's long punt, twisted and turned through a swarm of red jersies, raced past the backfield, eluded the desperate lunge of Jerry Ford, the safety man, and was clear to lope the rest of the way for a touchdown with only the referee at his heels. Penn had scored twice in the first period and converted one extra point; Tech had made a touchdown and missed the kick. So Barron's touchdown in the fourth quarter put the Tornadoes in a position to tie the count. Stan Sokolis, tackle, blocked Roy McArthur's dropkick, however, and the was gone.

Tech strove desperately to score again through the 14 minutes that remained, but although their passing attack brought them to striking distance, they got no farther. First Period Busy. The other three touchdowns came in a first period which saw six passes attempted and all completed. Kellett, sophomore quarterback, caught MeArthur's punt on his own 52-yard mark and streaked away to the goal line behind perfect interference for first score. Warren Gette, place the extra point, which won the game, as it developed.

Gette's second place-kick for the extra point, after a touchdown by Jerry Ford, was blocked by Fincher. Ford smashed through right tackle from strip for his tally. had brought then three there by Capt. Paul Riblett after Dink Morris blocked Tech's, punt near midfield. It looked as if Riblett were going to score when he ran the ball back, but Galloway, of Tech, forced him out of bounds.

The Georgians' touchdown followed a 21-yard pass from McArthur to Jerry Goldsmith which went to the Penn 37-yard line. Galloway added 13 yards around right end and Hart cleared it up on a pass from Arthur. The latter's dropkick was blocked.

(AP) -The Navy's football ship, tossed about uncertainly in its campaign so far this season, ran afoul the Notre Dame Hurricane here today and floundered to a 20 to 0 defeat. Bend smashed over the Navy goal The green raiders of South I three times in the second period, but after that a stubborn Middy defense halted the fast running backs and played the powerful line on almost even terms to stop every scoring threat.

The Middies, in holding Notre Dame to three touchdowns, surprised those who had expected the gold helmeted steam roller to smother them under an avalanche of scoring. Even at that, the 20 points Ramblers was not a criterion of the difference between the two teams in everything but stubbornness of defense. Not one first down did the Navy register while the South Benders were counting fourteen. Although the Notre Dame firststring backs ripped the Navy line almost at will in the first period, the Tars held when threat entered the scoring zone. Not until the second period did Notre Dame get the scoring range.

Then it came quick and fast. How "Irish" Scored. An exchange of kicks gave Notre Dame possession of the ball on the Navy 33-yard line. Schwartz shot a lateral pass to Banas who shot through left tackle to the Navy 15- yard line. With perfect interference opening the entire left side of the Middy line, Schwartz dashed through and over the goal standing up.

The second touchdown was the result of a sustained 66-yard drive that started after Devore returned the Navy kickoff to his own 34-yard line. Banas, Schwartz and Murphy ripped the Navy tackles to shreds for two consecutive first downs. Schwar's shot a pass to Murphy who raced to the Navy 34-yard mark. Schwartz poked through the Tar left tackle to the 15 yard line and then tossed a lateral Banas. who was thrown on the one stripe.

He plunged over on one try but Murphy's kick for the extra point was blocked. The final counter came as the direct result of a 15-yard penalty on the Navy and a pass from Millheam to Murphy. The Navy attack could not get under way, and Gordon Chung Hoon, the Navy's Hawaiian backfield star, got off a poor punt to his own 47-yard line. There the penalty was plastered on the Tars for holding. Four smashes at the line put Dame on the Navy 28-yard line.

There Millheam dropped back and faded to his right, sidestepping three would-be tacklers. Dodging the last one, he passed 45 yards across the field to Murphy who raced, the remaining seven yards to Navy goal. Two other Notre Dame scoring thrusts were halted by the alert Navy line. Underwood pounced Mike Koken's fumble on the tenyard line, and a short time later intercepted one of Koken's passes on the 15-yard marker. Notre Dame piled up a total of 281 yards in rushing from scrimmage.

Between the halves, the regiment of Midshipmen paid honor to the late Knute Rockne. With colored cards, they formed a football background and spelled out on it the word "Rock" while taps was played.

Duke Stadium, Durham, Nov. The Wolfpack of N. C. State College played in great form against the Duke University Blue Devils here this afternoon to register a smashing 14-0 triumph over a team given the favorite role in pre-game forecasts. The Wolfpack, scoring the first State College victory over Duke since 1927 when the Raleigh institution won North Carolina championship honors, played in a style which set 'Pack fans to reminiscing of that 1927 club which boasted Jack McDowall, Bob Warren and other luminaries.

Today's game did not pack the thrills of that 20-18 duel which State won on old Hanes Field here. That was a real battle all the way. Today the Wolfpack didn't let things reach the real battle stage. Settles 1931 Title Race. While the Techs were not winning themselves a championship today, they were kicking Duke off the North Carolina football throne.

As a result of today's defeat the defending champions of Duke were pushed completely out of the picture in 1931 title race. Carolina clinched the current title by defeating Davidson and making its average safe regardless of what may happen here week when Duke and Carolina meet. Duke, doped to win over Clipper Smith's boys today, was handed instead as good a licking as any forecasters figured it would give. The men of Wallace Wade found themselves stopped in their tracks with regularity. Whatever they attempted, the 'Pack was ready to throw back the attempt and on offense the boys from Raleigh stole the afternoon's ground-gaining show in adition to racking up their 14 points in workmanlike fashion.

Brewer Throttled. Captain Kidd Brewer, Duke's usual ground-gaining ace, was handcuffed, tagged with a ball and chain and otherwise made more or less harmless by the Wolfpack. Brewer might as well have been up in the stands among the 5,000 spectators so far as ground-gaining was concerned. Johnny Smith's boys were set to stop him-and stop him they did. Brewer failed to turn in a single substantial gain all afternoon, his average finally dwindling below zero for the times he handled the ball.

State indicated early that they were out to make the piratical Captain Kidd walk the plank, and as a sult he was not handed the ball out just about every other play as usually the case. T'he Wolfpack had three great backs on the -Bob McQuage, Hank McLawhorn and Don Wilson, the first and third being sophomores. McQuage was easily the all-around backfield star, but McLawhorn and Wilson also had their thumbs deep in the victory pie. McQuage Is Hottest. It was McQuage, Salisbury youth, who started things going State's way by dashing no less than 64 yards for the Wolfpack's first touchdown, the closing minutes of the opening quarter.

Then it was McQuage again who paved the way for State's second touchdown just after the second quarter opened. McQuage did this by returning Laney's punt a matter of 48 yards place the ball in Duke's territory. Wilson and MeLawhorn the goal drive by completing a pass for a total gain over 40 yards, MoLawhorn trotting 25 yards for the touchdown. And it is also to be corded that McQuage made good two for extra points after touchdown. He missed one kick, a try for a field goal in the third quarter.

Don Wilson's contribution State's win was second only to that of MeQuage. The stocky halfback proved entirely too much for Duke line, tearing through time and again for impressive also gains. And the runs were a problem Devils were unable to solve. Wilson, as recited above, was on the throwing end of the ass which scored State's touchdown. second The Line Boys.

Every member of State's line ed in great form, else the running of McQuage, MeLawhorn and Wilson would surely not have shown up as it did. But the defensive work of "Red" Espey, center, and Bud Rose, end, promoted during the week to a starting job, shone very brightly, Lefort and Cobb were other big cogs in the forward wall which was right much a wall on defense and 10me(Please Turn to Page Three.).
