Knoxville, Oct. Tennessee's Volunteers this afternoon Duke's Blue Devils just what Wake ago today. The played rings Forest did to one week Carolina, around the Duke boys and triumphed by a 13-0 score. If it were not for repeating, I'd be tempted to say that kicked hell out of the Devils. Blush That expression was used to lead off my story of the game because the expression Carolina the most accurate picture of what happened.

And that same expression is the most accurate for what happened this afternoon on ShieldsWatkins field before an overflow crowd of 35,000. Score Doesn't Tell It. Just as was the case in Wake's victory over the Tar Heels, the margin was two touchdowns--and the winning team's superiority for the afternoon of give-and-take was greater than its margin in the bare score. The Volunteers were, too much and too many for the Dukes. Coach Bob Neyland used about three full teams, and all combinations functioned effectively.

It may seem strange for North Carolinians to read that the Blue Devils were outmanned, but they were and that applied all the way. Each of the Tennessee combinations handled itself well and handled the Dukes well. The orange-jerseyed boys were in charge regardless of whether it was their first team, their second team, or a mixture of players off those clubs with reserves. Duke Fails To Threaten. Duke did not have the ball across midfield except for a brief furry at the start of the third period.

It was here that Duke made two of its total of three first-downs for the afternoon. This time the Devils got as far as Tennessee's 34, but Wes McAfee was thrown for a fouryard loss. Then Bronoko Ezerski gained three yards to the ball at Tennessee's 35. It Puts fourth down coming up, and Steve Lach punted into the end-zone. Only other Duke first down was made midway of the fourth period on a series of plays starting at Duke's 17.

Lach passed to Bokinsky for seven yards, and a Wes McAfee gained five for a After one incomplete pass, End Jim Coleman batted Storer's arm on a pass play, and the wobbly pass was taken by Max Steiner, guard, and run back five yards, to Duke's 15. The Vols almost scored from there, but didn't quite make it. The 000 fans were treated, though, to what looked like a score when Warren threw a pass to Bob Andridge in the end-zone. Bob grabbed the ball in the corner of the end-zone but fumbled it, and he was outside the end-zone by the time he really got possession. So, it was just an incompleted pass.

Duke later took the ball on downs at the nine-yard line. Pardon the delay in getting down to how Tennessee made its touchdowns, but scarcity of Duke perhaps rates ahead of that. Here They Go. For their first touchdown, the Vols went 63 yards in seven plays. The payoff was on a pass from versatile Bob Foxx to End Al Hurst, who made the catch at the 10-yard line and dashed the rest of the way without any trouble.

Hurst had gotten by Frank Killian, who was covering in the sector where the pass was completed. The score came on a play started at Duke's 32-yard line. The second quarter was six minutes old. A blocked punt set up things for the second Tennessee touchdown, made 55 seconds from the end of the first End Mike Balitsaris blocked Killian's punt, and Tackle Burr West covered it for the Vols at the Duke ten-yard line. The Tennesseeans needed four plays to go over, and the touchdown was made on a one-yard plunge by Bob Foxx.

Newman's placekick for point missed. There, were play two on which strange the features punt was blocked.

Pruitt Stars Again. J. V. Pruitt, hero of last Satur- Wake Forest, Oct. Forest's football team picked the right day to lick Carolina, and today was the right day for the Demon Deacons to defeat Furman University's Purple Hurricane.

The score was 19-0. Last Saturday was the Deacons' day. They could do no wrong, and high type of inspired play led to the downfall of the Tar Heels by 12-0. But today was another day. The air was hot and sticky, and most of the Deacons would have much rather have taken en the afternoon off for a dip in the old swimmin' hole if they had been able their rathers.

It was only natural that Coach D. C. Walker's boys should experience a let-down. They had been trained and keyed to a fine point for last Saturday's date, today's game was just another ball game with a Baptist college. However, Forest still had Power, to Burn.

power to burn, and the Deacons pushed over two touchdowns late in the first quarter before the Furman boys had become accustomed to the feel of the turf here in the Deacs' handsome, new athletic plant, Groves Stadium. A third tally came in the third quarter on day's victory over Carolina, went over for Wake Forest's initial tally. Tricky reverses, featuring the nifty running of Jolting John Polanski. Tony Gallovich, and Pruitt, carried the ball to a first-down on Furman's 24-yard line. Polanski bulled through the middle of the Furman line for eight yards.

On the next play, Pruitt started toward the right side the Furman line, but a swarm of purple-jerseyed linemen blocked his path. ball-carrier, but he knew what to do once he had his hands on the ball. Proctor was rushed hard by a swarm of Wake linemen, and Ringgold in the pass about 17 pullyards from the sidelines. Without hesitating he headed toward side, and then cut down field. John Jett, big Wake end, helped clear Jimmy's path, and the rest was easy.

All Jimmy had to do was run. Tony Gallovich placekicked extra point. First for Jimmy. That touchdown dash was the first score that Ringgold had ever made in a college contest. Red Mayberry, No.

1 Deacon quarterback who is a fractured arm, was on the sidelines announcing the plays over the public address system. Red called Please Turn To Page Two. J. V. was not to be daunted; he swung wide toward sidelines, straight a couple of tacklers skipped across the goal-line.

Center John Pendergast's try for point was bad. Wake Forest kicked off to Furman, and the South Carolinians failed to gain. They kicked out to at Tony Gallovich, who was standing midfield. Tony started to the right, eluded three Furman tacklers with a tantalizing burst of speed, and went to Furman's 28 after a 22-yard return. Edwards hit left tackle for eight yards, but Gallovich was dumped hard on a reverse for an eight-yard loss.

Gallovich Gallops. knew what play to Pruitt how to execute it. He faded call, and far back on a pass, feinted to his left, in and tossed a pass to Gallovich out the flat. Tony combined bit of hipper-dipper with an' effec- neat tive stiff arm to pull away from Roy Walters, and raced 20 yards for a touchdown. Again try for point failed.

Pendergast's Ringgold Goes 70. Late in the third quarter Wake Forest chalked up its final touchdown-it was a tally that made history. Captain Jimmy Ringgold, superb blocking back who never carries Bull the ball, intercepted 1 ran 70 a yards pass for by Proctor and a score. Jimmy may not be classed as a Still Going LE. POS.

Winston- Salem, Oct. (AP) -A fighting band of Davidson Wildcats took the lead on Carolina's Heels today, and proved tough before bowing, 27-7. exceedingly A scanty crowd of about 5,000 saw the contest. After a scoreless first period, Dave Spencer brought the crowd to feet with a marvelous 42-yard punt return through the entire Carolina team for a touchdown. Bob Johnson added the point from placement and Davidson led by 7-0.

The Tar Heels after that found themselves in passes with powerhouse mixing, game. O'Hare Ties Score. Frank O'Hare slipped over right guard for a yard and touchdown climax a 50-yard march. Harry Dunkle added the point from placement to leave the score tied 7-7 the half. Johnny Pecora, soph Carolina quarterback, raced 21 on the first Tar Heel offensive play of the second half to score, but Dunkle missed the placement.

Late in the period Pecora featured a 66-yard march had to leave the game because injuries. O'Hare scored on short smash over right tackle and Dunkle converted from placement. Pinky Elliott scored the fourth touchdown in the final period end-around run to climax a yard march which included a yard pass from Jim Lalanne to Remy. Bill Sigler converted from placement. The Leaders.

Paul Severin led the Carolina play with Spencer, Frank Johnny Fredericks doing Davidson's best work. O'Hare, Pecora, Gates Kimball and Lalanne ably aided Severin. Carolina started off the game fine style, but a penalty nullified 63-yard run by Pecora for apparent score. Davidson received kickoff, punted on third down the Carolina 36 and Pecora made one. The fleet little soph then tore right tackle and cut back for touchdown.

However, the referee ruled there was clipping by a Tar Heel at the Davidson 27, and gave Carolina a first-down at the 42 after penalty. Fumble Proves Costly. Things went nip and tuck then until O'Hare broke away 30 yards through his right guard. O'Hare followed up with two line cuts for yards to the Davidson seven.

Shields-Watkins Field, Knoxville, Oct. Wade teams still have a zero 1 to show in the victory column for visits to Knoxville for football battles with Tennessee, Today's 13-0 victory for Tennessee was the seventh for a team coached by Bob Neyland in the series with Wade-coached teams. Two of those Tennessee victories were over Alabama, the rest over Duke. Wade's Duke teams won twice from Neyland, and Wade also got one victory while at Alabama. One game in the series was la tie.

The last meeting of the teams, at Durham in 1937, resulted in a scoreless tie. Duke beat the NeyVols in 1933, 10-2, and won over them in 1935, when Bill Britton was coach, 19-6. Following today's game, Coach Wallace Wade's comment was: "They just outplayed us in every department." I don't know what Neyland had to say. But you can fill it in him. The game was supposed to start at 2 o'clock Knoxville time.

It had been advertised that way, and that was the starting time on the tickets. But the opening kickoff was delayed a half-hour. The reason was to permit the airing of the game on two national hookups in addition to a hookup sponsored by the Atlantic Refining Company. Add Penfield of WPTF, Raleigh, handled the Atlantic broadcast. Bill Stern was here for NBC, and Hed Husing for CBS.

Asheboro fans chartered a busit rolled on the Tennessee campus before noon, with a big sign on the side of tine bus telling the Tennesseeans "Asheboro Follows Duke." Most of the North Carolina fans moved out to the campus during the forenoon, One reason was that they didn't bother to move their watches back an hour. And there were many University of North Carolina alumni among the delegation from the Old North State. The Carolina alumni on hand even cluded Marvin than (Philly) there Rich is of Charlotte, whom no more busy Carolina alumnus. The parents of Emil and Al Hust, Tennessee ends, were injured last night in an automobile accident while en route to the game here. They were taken to a hospital at Covington, Ky.

Mrs. Hust suffered a fracture of the skull; Mr. Hust suffered a fracture of the right leg and other injuries. Son Emil, slated to be on the sidelines here because of an injury, left last night for Covington to be with his parents. Al stayed here to play in the game- the show must go on in football as well as in the theatre.

This morning's issue of The Knoxville Journal offered Duke coaches a good talking point to curtail any tendency towards overers. The paper listed Duke's probconfidence by this Duke first-stringable starters and the squad's reserves and there was not the name of a single first-stringer under either heading. Just one of those accidents which happen in the rush in the best of sports departments, but it caused lots of comment by the Duke fans. Among the notables in attendance was Doc Prothro, manager of the Philadelphia Phillies. wasn't here capacity, though the dad of Duke's Tommy Prothro.

The game attracted the largest number of North Carolina sports editors ever to cover a football game on a grid outside the Tar Heel State. Over the stadium's loud-speaker went a call for H. G. Abernathy of Durham to come to the press box for a mesage. The mesage was that his brother, M.

Pawlowski and Quarterback Bob Sherman each an extra point. LINCOLN DEFEATS SHAW BEARS, 12-0 Hunter, Groce Score for Lions; White Youth Stars for the Winners Hard charging Litany Lions of Lincoln University outfought Shaw, 13-0, here yesterday afternoon before a crowd of 1,500 fans. The Lions struck twice, once in the third quarter and once the fourth, after threatening most of the game.

Hunter grabbed a pass, from Shaw's Gene Harrington and raced 45 yards to the Shaw 15 in the third. After two line tries netted nothing, Gross stepped off left tackle, cut back and scored untouched. Pearcy placekicked for the point after touchdown. Another pass interception and a 15-yard penalty set up the Lions for their last score. The penalty put the Lions on Shaw's one, and Hunter plunged over from there.

The longest run game came in the opening quarter. Backed up to his own 10, Williams was back as if to kick. Instead, he broke through tackle and cut to the right. As he was tackled, he lateralled to Murray, who galloped on for a 57-yard gain. Ralph Ives, Lincoln center, is one of several white students attending Lincoln, a Pennsylvania Negro school.

Oves graduated at Central High in Philadelphia and decided to attend Lincoln because tuition was cheaper there than other colleges he considered and" because he knew several Negro grid stars there. Oves turned in a bang-up performance. Shade, Oves, Beverely, Hunter, and Gross were Lincoln leaders. F. Williams, Joe Spriggs, Gilmore Godfrey, a and Bruste Owens featured for Shaw.

(U.P.) University of Southern California and Oregon State football teams played to a scoreless today. It was the second tie in two games for the Rose Bowl champion Trojans. In the final 15 seconds Southern California tried to game out of the fire with a fieldgoal try, but the ball went wide.

Another Tie ARKANSAS LOSES TO HORNED FROGS Texas Christian Uses Passes in Hanging Up 20-0 Impressive Win By FELIX R.

McKNIGHT. Fort Worth, Texas, Oct. Wee Dean Bagley and Kyle Gillespie, the Texas Christian tumbleweeds, steered the rapidly reviving ghost of other great Texas Christian teams to a 20-0 rout of University of Arkansas in a Southwest Conference opener here today. Vastly underrated by pre-season guessers, the Christian team that last week humbled Centenary, 41-6, snubbed the odds today and twice scored on uninterrupted marches of 78 and 69 yards, winding up both with spectacular passing plays. But the Christians weren't too dependent upon their famed aerial antics, tossing only nine passes.

Six of those were completed, and three went for touchdowns on heaves of 45, 18, and 17 yards. To Bagley and Gillespie goes credit for most of the 269 yards rolled up, but another hero flashed back from obscurity for one brief moment to get the wildest cheer of the day. Odle Shines. Big Jack Odle, the lad they said only a season ago carry on the great line of sould, Baugh's and Davey O'Briens, but who quietly folded after a mid-season injury, slipped into the game as a reserve fullback. On a routine buck straight over guard, he burst through the massive Porker line, hit the secondary at full speed, and streaked for the sidelines.

Three Arkansas men dived at him. On the next play, he cracked center again for eight yards. But he didn't get up that time. Injured, they carried him off the field. The lineup: POS.

Sinkwich, the boy from Youngstown, hailed as one of the coming stars of the game, scored two touchdowns during the afternoon and tossed a pass to Carol Crate in the for another. Georgia romped lead in end the middle of the opening period, when big Cliff Kimsey plunged over from the one-yard line. in the next period Heyward Allen threw a pass to Capt.

Another touchdown quickly followed, when Sinkwich broke through guard, eluded the secondary and raced 33 yards for six points.

Sinkwich ran 46 yards for his second touchdown, in the last period. MEET THE CHAMP of the world's welterweight boxers, Fritzie Zivic of Pittsburgh. Fritzie won the crown by capturing a 15-round decision over Hammerin' Henry Armstrong at Madison Square Garden on Friday night. Zivic's back-pedalling and classy boxing style completely baffled Armstrong. He repeatedly scored with a whiplike left and a stunning right uppercut.

ZIVIC REMATCHED WITH ARMSTRONG Henry, Battered Badly in Defeat, Must Wait Till January to Go Again New York, Oct. going to be a "re-take" of the 15- round thriller by which Henry strong lost his world welterweight championship to Fritzie Zivic of Pittsburgh last night. Promoter Mike Jacobs, paying Armstrong $9,659 and Zivic $3,094 for their chores in Madison Square Garden, announced today they would tangle in a return match in the Garden on January 17, and that for the moment the plan to match Armstrong and Al Davis, Brooklyn's left-hook specialist, had been temporarily postponed. The contracts for last night's redhot punch -party, in which Zivic closed Henry's eyes in the first half of the fight and then danced and stabbed his way to victory in the stretch, called for the return match. Both managers agreed on the new date.

The return go might have been scheduled earlier, but it's going to take a long time for Henry's wounds to heal from the damage done by Zivic sharp shots. At the finish last night, had cuts along both eyes and a deep, bloody gash lower lip. His personal physician spent two hours sewing him he'll be out of action for at least a couple of months or more. Jacobs, in announcing the financial figures for the show, said the gross gate was $29,212 and the net $24,643. PAUL SPENCER LEADS ALABAMA TO VICTORY Tuscaloosa, Oct.

thousand fans watched Alabama whip Mercer, 20-0, this afternoon, in the Tide's first home game of the season. Paul Spencer, 191-pound fullback from Edenton, N. paced the 54 yards in 72-yard sustained Tide's first scoring, attack, gaining drive. Spencer scored again before the first quarter was over. In the third yuarter, Dave Brown, 'Bama sophomore back, crossed the Mercer goal on a thrust.

The Tide's defensive a play was brilliant throughout, and the lighter Mercer team was able to make only one first while the Alabamans rolled up 12. Both teams stuck to running plays, completing only one forward pass each. Spencer averaged six yards a thrust in 13 ball-carrying jaunts, and was by far the outstanding offensive back on the field. LEONARD WILL SHINES IN COLUMBIA OFFENSE New York, Oct. aside the lethargy that marked its first-half performance, Columbia University today, defeated a determined eleven, 15-0.

Maine, a decided underdog, waged an astonishing battle for two periods, but yielded when Columbia unveiled deception that it had hoped to save for more important foes. In the third quarter, Leonard Will of Evansville, kicked a 12-yard field goal after a drive had stalled inside the Maine fiveyard line. Will later sifted through tackle to the Maine four-yard line and lateralled to Ken Germann, who completed the journey for the touchdown. A three-yard plunge by Stewart McIlvennan in the fourth quarter ending the scoring. ARMY EDGES WILLIAMS IN OPENING TEST, 20-19 West Point, N.

Oct. Army today opened its schedule with an unimpressive 20-19 victory over Williams College here today before 10.000 at Michie Stadium. Thanks largely to Johnny Hatch's deadly passing arm, Army tallied two touchdowns in the opening quarter, and added another in the second, but from then on the Cadets were out of the ball game. Williams fought stubbornly in the final period and came within a single point of tying the score. Herb Holden plunged for the touchdown from the two-inch line, but Johnny Meehan's placement attempt was wide.

C. State Wolfpack, 26-7, here today before 500 fans. The Tigers' power was too much and there was little doubt of the outcome after play got well under way. The Tigers used a generous mixture of deception and a little passing along with bruising tactics. Clemson made 16 first downs to six for State and netted 227 yards rushing to State's 22.

That's the story of the ball game. Score Early. Two touchdowns in the opening period gave Clemson a large lead, but State came right back in the second with its marker. Then the Tigers racked up a couple of touchdowns in the fourth to clinch victory. The game was very old, however, before those last two touchdowns rolled up.

Aubrey Rion, reserve back, went over twice, on the first and third touchdown trips. Stocky Charlie Timmons, regular fullback, scored the second touchdown, in late minutes of the second period. Little Sid Tinsley of Spartanburg, a sophomore, snakehipped his way around right end in the fourth with less than a minute to play. Rion and Booty Payne kicked for the extra points. Long Pass.

Clemson's first touchdown was set up by a long pass, Maness to Blalock, that was good for 25 yards to 10 two plays later on a spinner. A the State a 23. Rion went to the State double reverse, Timmons to Coleman to Rion, scored. Rion placekicked for the point. The second score me just a minute before the second period ended.

A penalty set State back to the six, and Timmons crashed over. Rion's placement was low. State tried a fourth-down pass in the fourth quarter, it failed, and the Tigers took the ball on State's 27. A right-end run by Rion from the six ended the drive. The last touchdown was made by Tinsley under similar circumstances.

State tried a fourth-down pass and Clemson took the ball on the 'Pack 15. Then came Tinsley's run. Booty Payne': placement was good. Dickerson Leads. Dickerson led State's touchdown a drive.

After Clemson's second touchdown State took the kickoff on its own 30, and after an exchange of punts, found itself in Clemson territory in the third.

Dickerson faded and tossed a long pass to Marion Stilwell in the corner of the field, but a couple of Clemson backs hit the end just about the time the ball landed in his arms and it fell to the ground. Here it was that State got its touchdown.

Dickerson to Huckabee. State's touchdown came within half-dozen plays after the start of the second quarter on a pass from Doug Dickerson to Charlotte's cwn Jack Huckabee. State gained possession on Clemson's 30 just before the first quarter ended by holding the Tigers on downs.
