Durham, Nov. Forest came to the end of its victory road here today as Duke, displaying the same speed and dash which defeated Georgia Tech last week, crushed the Deacons under a 34-0 count as 28.000 spectators looked on. Peahead Walker's Deacons brought a perfect record of seven straight victories to the big Duke horseshoe, but they wilted under their biggest test of the campaign and saw their bowl hopes smothered under the fleet Blue Devil backs and hard-charging linemen. For the second straight week, Eddie Cameron's boys eliminated one of the nation's leading undefeated teams, and there was no question of their superiority. The Deacs started the game with a rush, battling down to the Duke 5 the first time they gained possession of the ball, but after the first period it was all Duke.

Wilson Boys Star. George Clark, slim Wilson youngster playing his first season at Duke, and Davis, the veteran fullback from the same town, were the guns in the Duke attack, with Cliff Lewis, one of the most spectacular backs Duke has had in years, not far behind them. In the opening minutes of the game it appeared likely Wake Forest would give the Blue Devils a football lesson and preserve its perfect record, but it was Clark who set the Duke spark with a 94-yard punt return for a touchdown in the first period. The Baptists never recovered from this blow. That, and the pressure of playing with sO much at stake, made the Deacs lose their poise.

They were backed up to their for most of the second period and instead of playing it safe with only a six-point Duke lead, they started to gamble-and from second it the touchdown Blue when Devils Entether Sharkey intercepted a Nick Sacrinty pass on the Wake Forest rambled over for a touchdown, giving Duke a 12-0 margin at the intermission. All Duke. Except for a brief drive at the start of the third period, the Deacs were hopelessly out of the game in the second half, and the Blue Devils got three touchdowns and a safety after the rest period. Each team entered the game with several regulars injured. Buck Garrison, Dewey Hobbs, Bob Smathers, Buck Mabry were the Wake Forest starters on the crippled list, but each one got into the contest.

Frank Irwin and John Krisza, the Blue Devil first-stringers, rode the bench throughout the afternoon. The Deacs started the game with a lot of fire and dash, but soon they lost this driving force; their backs seemed slow and were no great threats the few times they broke into the secondary. Except for a bullet pass down the middle, the Blue Devils successfully checked the Wake Forest serious air threat. attack, The anguie Devils were content to stay to the ground for most of their offense, but the threat of a pass was always present. Duke's fourth touchdown came on a seven-yard pass from Lewis to Clark Jones.

Deacs Threaten. Wake Forest's best scoring chance came early in the game. Duke received the opening kickoff and on the third play, Bob Smith fumbled the ball after receiving a pass from Clark, and the Deacs recovered on the Duke 36. In two tries, Tom Fetzer drove to a first-down on the 25. At this point he was replaced by Sacrinty, who smashed to a first-down on the 13 on the next play.

He followed this with a smash over left tackle to the 5. With only two yards needed for a first-down, Sacrinty was stopped for a yard loss, Brinkley failed to gain, and Sacrinty was stopped on the 5 on the last down. Clark Scampers. Several punt exchanges followed. With five and one-half minutes remaining in the first period, Russ Perry who attends Bowman Gray Medical School in Winston-Salem and who played with the Deacs only in the Carolina game, sent a punt down to Clark on the Duke 6.

The Duke safety man got a good start and headed right into the middle of the Deacons. The Blue Devils cut a lane for him and when he reached midfield he was in the clear. Several Deacs chased him, but he went over the goal standing up, completing one of the longest runs ever seen in Duke Stadium. Harold Raether's placement kick for the extra point was wide to the left and Duke led. 6-0.

The Deacs came right back with another threat. Sacrinty returned See CLARK. Page Ten. End of Trail POS. WAKE FOREST DUKE LE Bruno LT.

Once he dashed 95 yards for an apparent score only to have the play nullified by a clipping penalty.

Cloudbusters scored in the first six minutes of play, and they stayed in front for the rest of the day. The initial drive got under way from the North Carolina 42, with Koslowski and Pearce doing most of the ground work. Graham passed to Sheehan for the score and St. John, recently returned from Pacific duty, booted the extra point. They're The Cloudbusters made it 14-0 shortly after the second quarter opened with Graham passing to Fellabaum, Aschenbrenner, and Anderson to do the job.

Anderson made the score. St. John made good on the conversion again. The Skycrackers got back into the ball game before the quarter ended, on Stanczak's pass from the 3 to Drewes in the end-zone. Strauss and White had placed the ball in scoring position by deceptive running.

But a 13-yard pass from Graham to Fellabaum, who ran the remaining 28 yards to the goal, put the Georgian's deeper in the hole. St. John failed convert. North Carolina scored clincher touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Graham hit the middle for five yards to get one, and Bassey scored the other from three yards out.

Georgia scored its third touchdown in the waning minutes, Stanczak passing to Nugent in the end-zone. North Carolina gained an edge of only 16-14 in first-downs, but it was the exploding right arm of Graham that made the downs themselves count for nothing. When Georgia braced on the ground, Graham danced back, spotted his receiver, and shot the ball to him. All in all, the Cloudbusters completed 12 passes out of 17 attempts for 168 yards. Georgia gained more yardage in this respect, making a net total of 216 yards on eight completions out of 17 attempts, but their pass receivers time after time were pulled down by the alert North Carolina secondary short of the goal.

The Cloudbusters were away out in front on the ground, making net yardage of 217 to their opponents 102. tomers North thrill Carolina in gave the third pay cusa the period when Aschenbrenner dropped back on his 5, then threw a "screen pass" to Graham.

WISCONSIN DEFEATS IOWA HAWKEYES, 26-7 scored their touchdowns by BREWERS GET BURGO. Madison, Nov. consin's Badgers, soundly whipped in their last four games, surged back into the victory column today with a 26-7 triumph over Iowa's game, but offensively futile eyes. The Badgers who had taken. trouncings from Ohio State, Notre Dame, Great Lakes, and Purdue on successive Saturdays, had to beat down a gallant Iowa defense today, it was not until the last half that they gave a small Dad's Day turnout assurance of victory.

Operating without Earl (Jug) Girard, their freshman ace runner, passer, and kicker, the Badgers came up with four touchdown-markers, Jerry Thompson, Joe Campbell, Jack Mead, and Nick Holmes. Thompson and Campbell went over on the ground and Mead and Holmes Milwaukee, Nov. 11.

fumbles recovered. Yds. lost by penalties By RALPH HOWLAND. Chapel Hill, Nov. and William and Mary contributed nothing to their unimpressive season records today by playing a scoreless tie in a Southern Conference tussle marked by fumbles, intercepted passes, and three drives deep into enemy territory.

The Tar Heels outgained the Indians, but the Virginians were down on the Carolina three- yard line with time for one play, They were penalized back to the 8 for taking too much time out and the game ended before they could try again. Carolina threatened first, going to the 13 but there lost the ball on a fumble in the first half. The Tar Heels also threatened in the fourth quarter, going to the Indians' 5. This time Stan Magdziak, star back, intercepted a forward pass to choke off the rally. The work of Magdziak and Chester Mackiewicz stood out for the Virginia eleven, while three Navy newcomers, Linemen John Kerns and Thad Ellis and Back Bill Voris.

starred for the Tar Heels. In the first Carolina threat, Bob Warren, Voris and Jack Dean alternated in moving to the Indians 19. and there Dean, on a quarterback sneak, crashed to the 13. But there Voris fumbled and Austin Wright of William and Mary recovered and Magdziak kicked out. In the fourth quarter the Tar Heels, on reverses a and straight line plays, moved from their 40 to the Indians' 5.

and Warren there it passed into intercept- the was ed by Magdziak for a touchback. William and Mary's big bid in the closing minutes came when Magdziak kicked to the Carolina 40 and Voris fumbled with Thompson, Indians center, recovering. Bruce lost three yards at the line and Magdziak passed to Mackiewez on the Carolina 21. Another, pass, Magdziak to Bruce, to the 10. hit to the 7 where he was stopped by Fred Bauer and Ed Golding.

He crashed to the 6 on the next play and then Magdziak picked up three to the 3, but the penalty for too much time out put the Indians back on the Carolina 8 as the game ended. Figures. The Tar Heels doubled the firstdowns on the Indians, 10 to 5, and gained 145 yards rushing to 80. Carolina lost the ball three times on fumbles and the Indians twice. Each recovered one of the others fumbles.

Before today William and Mary had lost to Pennsylvania and N. C. State and won over Fort Monroe. Hampden: Base. and Carolina had Richmond won only one game, over the Cherry Point Marines, and lost to Wake Forest, Army, Georgia Tech, and South Carolina.

It was the first time since 1932 that Carolina had played to a scoretie its own field. That was less, Wake Forest. Carolina received the opening kickoff and Camp returned it from his 10 to the 27. Warren made it a first-down in two and it. looked like Carolina was moving.

The advance ended on the next play when fumbled and Henry Shook Bruce, however, fumbled on the next play and Camp recovered for the Tar Heels. The rest of the quarter was spent with the teams feeling out each other with frequent punt exchanges. Passes. Warren started his passing with a fury in the second quarter and connected with the first to Pete Brown for 21 yards. The play was nullified by a penalty, however.

for Carolina was offsides. Warren kicked soon after, getting off a beautiful 65 yard kick which Bruce returned from his 7 to the Magdziak kicked out a few plays later and Carolina began its first threat. Voris took the ball on the William and Mary 47 and returned it to the 40. The Tar Heels rang up a first-down, and Voris made five to the Indians' 35. Voris then got off a thrust through center to the Indians' 19, a 16-yard gain.

But he was stopped by Bruce. Dean, on a quarterback sneak. moved to the 13, but Voris' fumble was recovered by Austin Wright of the Indians. The third quarter was listless and afforded the approximately 4,000 fans little excitement. Warren was not able to strike his usual form and was thrown for several losses.

Towards the last of that quarter. Magdsiak let loose a couple of passes one to Mackiezwiez and another to Bruce, down to the Carolina 38. There it was a first-down for the Indians, but they were not able to capitalize on the opportunity and had to kick out. Carolina tok over on downs early in the final quarter on its own 40 and there started its second threat. Warren made three and Camp four.

Camp pulled a double reverse to the William and Mary 38 for a 15-yard gain a little later. Voris made two and Dean moved to the William and Mary 8. Voris moved to the 5, stopped by Thompson and then came the pass interception that ended in a touchback. The Indians' threat, coming i in the closing minutes. came the See TAR HEELS.

MINNESOTA SURPRISES INDIANA ELEVEN, 19-14 Bainbridge, Nov. Bainbridge Commodores today added the game but outclassed Cherry Point (N. Marines to their victory string, grinding out a 50-7 win for their 14th straight conquest in two years of play. Coach Joe Maniaci's powerhouse rolled up three touchdowns on overland drives, two on breakaway runs from far out, one on a pass, and two on interceptions of passes. The Marines registered their touchdown when End 4 Alva Sollay, former Louisiana State player, intercepted one of Hilliard Cheatham's forwards and raced 55 yards unmolested.

Repeated penalties against the Commodores, most of them for clipping and unnecessary roughness, cost the winners 86 yards. Bainbridge scored on the third play, when Harry Hopp broke into the clear and ran 55 yards. Midway in the period, End Joe Davis snagged one of Cheatham's passes in the end-zone for another score. Charley Justice accounted for the third, on an 11 yard run in the second quarter. A few minutes later Justice raced yards to Cherry Point goal, but the touchdown was nullified by a clipping penalty.

Second-half Bainbridge touchdowns were registered by Hopp, Jackie Field, Jim Gatewood, and Guard Joe Petro, the latter two on interceptions.

Bob Hoernschemeyer, Indiana's versatile halfback, sparked the Hoosiers all the way but he was unable to elude Minnesota's vastly improved defense successfully. Hoernschemeyer was matched all the way by the performance of the Red Williams and Vic Kulbitski, the latter being especially impressive on power drives. Easily the outstanding lineman of the afternoon was Frank Ciolli, Indiana guard, who was in on every play. Minnesota was off to a second period lead when Williams sneaked off left end for a 25-yard dash to pay dirt after double reverse with Williams carrying the ball, had given the Gophers a first-down on the 25. Dick Deranek tied the count midway in the third period when raced 51 yards.

The Gophers forged ahead in the same period, after taking the Indiana kickoff. A varied attack, with Williams throwing passes to John Lundquist and Kulbitski, took the Gophers to the Indiana 1. Kulbitski plowed over for the touchdown. Indiana took a one-point advantage when Hoernschemeyer tossed a long pass to Ted Kluszewski who took it on the Gopher 15 and went the remaining distance. Tavener placekicked goal.

Slightly more than three minutes remained when Williams hurled a perfect 44-yard pass to Dick Schmitz for a first-down on the Indiana 12.

State's football powerhouse needed the services of its regulars for less than a quarter of the game today as it walloped the University of Pittsburgh, 54-19, for the seventh straight victory of the season.The hapless Panthers didn't have a look-in until Coach Carroll Widdoes of Ohio State began sweeping the bench clean of substitutes. The Buck regulars rolled up a 20-0 lead in less than 15 minutes of action, and then spent the afternoon bench. Second-stringers did just about as well, and the count mounted to 47-0 before the Panthers finaly found their way to scoring territory.

That was in the third period and Pitt scored twice after that against an array of third- and fourth-string Ohioans. The Bucks scored the first time they got their hands on the ball. The payoff was a pass, from Les Norvath to Bob Brugge, which covered 32 yards. Ohio scored again seconds later when big Russ Thomas smashed through to block a Pitt punt and Traian Dendiu fell on the ball on the 2. It took play for Dick Flanagan to onlyone Horvath personally accounted for the third Ohio State touchdown.

He intercepted a pass Pitt 14, and then scored on the first play after that. That tally ended the day's work for the regulars. Three touchdowns and a safety were added to the Ohio State total in the second period. Bob Dove's pass to Gene Janecko gave Ohio State another score at the start of the third period. Keane's 18-yard pass to Stranges ended Ohio State's scoring and this touchdown came after Pitt finally broke the scoring ice.

The first Panther score came on a pass from Paul Richards to Ed Zimmovan, good for 55 yards. Pitt's second score came on a two-yard plunge by George Greese after the Panthers had pounded 67 yards down the field. ROANOKE RAPIDS TOPS EDENTON'S ACES, 40-7 Roanoke Rapids, Nov. 11.

Woodrow Strode supplied two touchdowns, Leo Cantor provided a third, and Jimmy Nelson of Alabama pitched 24 yards to Eugene Maaks of Kentucky for the windup counter in the closing quarter.

was one of the game's high- MIDDIES PARADE AGAINST CORNELL Baltimore, Nov. one-two punch duo of Blastin' Bob Jenkins and Smackem Clyde Scott hit Cornell furious battering attack in the opening minutes today to score a pair of touchdowns, leaving the big red eleven dizzy and helpless before a stream of substitutes who gave the Midshipmen a 48-0 triumph over the Ithaca team. The uneven battle was only minutes old when Navy scored the first of seven touchdowns. Cornell chose to kick off and Jenkins, Scott, and Company never relinquished the ball in a 67-yard downfield march. Jenkins tossed a 15-yarder to Barron, and completed another aerial to Scott for 26.

Running like a streamlined locomotive, Jenkins powered to the 10 and then tossed a pass to Ben Martin for the score. Allan Dekdebrun, who literally played his heart out against the insurmountable odds before he was hurt and carried off the field in the second half, took to air at once, apparently figuring there was little point in cracking up against Navy's great line. Jack Martin, Navy center, leaped high to spear the Cornell star's first toss, on the' Ithacan's 37, and raced back to the 26. Warming to the task, Jenkins, with Scott plunging once, blasted through to the 1 in five plays. Jenkins then slipped through the score.

back to begin the third and again The Navy first-stringers came Jenkins led the way to pay dirt, inserting a 29-yard pass to Dick Duden in a 61-yard drive to a touchdown. Jenkins himself drove over from the 5. Subs Parade. From there out, it was a stream of Middies as Cmdr. Oscar Hagberg gave almost every man on the bench a chance and obviously tried to hold the score down.

The Navy subs wouldn't be denied. From the Cornell 40, Smith reversed to Ben Martin for 15, and Smith aerialed to Duden in the endzone for a touchdown. Taking the next kickoff, Navy drove 67 yards to score with Charles Riehl, a plebe, brought up from the squad before this game, as the spark plug. The payoff was a Riehl-to-Barksdale pass for a 23-yard gain to the 8 and a Riehl-to-Robert Hill toss for the touchdown. Vince Dick added Finos other scores.
