As Duke Posts Initial Win Stephanz Scores on Duke's First Play from Scrimmage at Duke Field (Continued From Page One.) hard by the entire Duke line and, of necessity, had to rush his pass. Only two minutes and eight seconds had been played when Paul Stephann cracked at right guard and blasted his way over standing up.

Paul Souchak immediately added the extra point to send Duke out front, 7-0. That score, incidentally, was the only touchdown of a first half which was filled with some spectacular action. And it came on Duke's first from scrimmage. From the fans' viewpoint, the contest was a satisfying one. For diehard Duke supporters, the game terrific.

The Blue Dukes, still undefeated, now have their first win of the season. Previously, Duke had played to a pair of deadlocks. For the Middies of Coach George Sauer, it was the third successive setback. Cox Romps 60 Yards. Wallace Wade must have squirmed a bit in his discomfiture at watching Sophomore Bill Cox look, alternately, bad and great.

But when Cox set sail from punt formation from his own 40 in the third chapter and went all the way (60 yards) to Duke's second touchdown, the Old Master very likely relaxed a bit. Cox turned in his spectacular dash with the aid of a pair of fine key blocks by End Ed Austin and Blocker John Montgomery. He picked up his manner of a veteran and very neatly skipped down the chalked sideline. Only six minutes and a few seconds had been played in the quarter when took off. End Bill Duncan put himself in the way of a Baysinger kick later in the period and the ball bounded out of the end zone for a touchdown.

Duncan propelled himself through the Navy defenders like a jet plane in high and was all over Baysinger, who never really had a chance to get the ball off his toe before Duncan swamped him. Guard Ernie Knotts also was in on the play. The Blue Devils got their last score in the final period when Jack Friedlund, another husky sophomore, got off a 20-yard gallop reverse. Duncan and Louis Allen contributed the blocks which opened the way to the goal. Friedlund, apparently trapped on the play, bulled his way past two Middie defenders and then took advantage of the two fine blocks to score.

Navy Scores. Navy got its only touchdown late in the third period when Fullback Bill Hawkins slammed over from the 1. It appeared that he fumbled the ball and lost it to an unidentified Duke player -but the officials ruled he had the ball in his possession long enough. Duke actually should have scored at least times in the first quarter. A fumble by Cox at one stage stopped drive on the Middie 5.

Duke very nearly broke the heart of the Navy eleven in the first half, when leading only by a 7-0 margin, they checked a Navy drive on the Duke 5 and took over on downs. No account of the Duke victory would be proper without doling out a full measure of credit for the Duke line. Always noted for fine play, Duke's current forward line, might not be as tough as some of those lines which have been at Duke in previous seasons but certainly it can rank as one of the most aggressive and spirited. It was Duke line today which provided the spark, and in the end, the margin of victory. Rushed Passers Hard.

The Midshipmen never were able to pound at the Duke line with any degree of marked success. And the vaunted Navy passing attack never into high gear simply beDuke forwards were rushing the tossers so hard. The Mt. Airy duo- -Folger and Cox-sparked the backfield play. Folger was operating as if he had never been injured.

Only a pair of very untimely clipping penalties kept him from being credited with some long and flashy punt returns. The game started as if it would turn into a free-scoring affair. Souchak kicked off to Al McCully on the Navy 15 and the ex-Duke freshman returned to the 31. Hawkins took a lateral from Baysinger and got to the 35 before Carl Perkinson brought him to earth. McCully was stopped at left tackle by Eisenberg and Ed Austin for no THE NEWS AND OBSERVER, RALEIGH, N.

M. EVERY NIGHT PERSON STREET PHARMACY 620 North Person Street Dial 6432 CLEMSON UPSETS MAROONS, 21 TO Gage and Salisbury Spark Tiger Attack Against Mississippi State By ROLAND DOPSON. I Starkville, Oct. Bobby Gage, a triplethreat halfback, and Tom Salisbury, a bean-pole tackle, put their talents together today to give Clemson College a jolting 21-7 upset of Mississippi State before 12,000 unhappy people. Both stars played iron-man football for 58 minutes and Gage's allaround work in the backfield no more spectacular than Salisbury's block of a Mississippi State punt and subsequent touchdown run.

State was handicapped by the absence of fleet Harper Davis, injured wingback, and with the offensive load all on the shoulders of Shorty McWilliams, the inspired Clemson line backers were able to gang up on Big Shorty. Salisbury, a 6-foot 3-inch tackle from Summerville, looked like a basketball player when he broke through early in the first period and blocked a McWilliams punt on the State 28. The ball bounced backward and Salisbury, without breaking his stride, snatched it on the bounce to high-step over the goal line with the initial touchdown. Jack Miller made good on the first of his three placements and Clemson was well on the way. Only a few minutes later, the stylish Gage faked a punt and tossed a feathery pass to Ray Matthews in the right flat.

Matthews hugged a half-dozen interferences for a touchdown run, the play covering a total of 62 yards. Late the second period State's Jerry Taylor recovered Fred Cone's fumble on the Clemson 17 and McWilliams passed to Truett Smith for the Maroons' lone score. Max Stainbrook converted and the half ended with the score 14-7. Clemson immediately set up a touchdown in the third period. Matthews returned a punt 37 yards to the Mississippi State 40 and on the second play from there Gage pitched a touchdown pass to End John Poulos.

That play broke the Maroons' gain but the Middies were penalized five yards for being off-side. Baysinger hit Williams in the flat with a pass, but Pistol got only three yards. Baysinger's next toss was got off in a hurry. Score in Hurry, Folger grabbed the ball on a dead run on the Duke 47 and returned it to the Navy 5. Folger ran with rare abandon for a man injured and that was the tipoff his play for the afternoon.

He simply excelled once again. On Duke's first play from scrimmage, Stephanz bulled his way over right tackle standing up and Duke was in the lead. The Middies came right back. 3 and he returned when Souchak kicked to McCully, on the Duncan jarred him to a quick stop with a rugged tackle. Hawkins slashed his way 24 the Navy 49 before he slipped and fell.

Williams took a handoff from Baysinger and blasted nine yards and Hawkins made it another first-down on the Duke 40. McCully hit at guard for six yards and Williams got three more at the left side. Baysinger hit Ryan with a pass on the Duke 25, but the Navy flankman dropped the ball. Hawkins got, the necessary yardage for a first-down on the Duke 30. Williams took a lateral wide to the the right and was stopped by Duncan on the 28 but Duke was penalized for unnecessary roughness to the 14.

Duke went into a seven line and Hawkins rammed down to the 7 at left guard. Hawkins got one at the middle McCully carried to the 5 on third down. Larry Karl, a junior guard, broke through to bat down Bob Horne's last desperation heave and Duke took over. The Blue Dukes kicked out and Navy was penalized 15 yards for roughness on the return, the ball being placed on the Navy 48. Hawkins got to the Duke 49 on the first play from that point and then Tommy Hughes, a fine defensive halfback, grabbed a Baysinger pass which was intended for Williams.

Williams actually had ball in his hands but let it go through and Hughes was there. to take it in. He took it on the Duke 35 and got back 45. Stephanz lost back to the 41 but Cox flipped a bullet toss to Duncan on the Navy 43 for first-down. to the 38 and made it a with 2 run at a big a hole at left tackle.

Hawkins batted down one of passes, so Cox ran at left again and got to the 23 where he lateraled to Stephanz, who carried to the 21. Needing one yard for a first-down, Stephanz blasted to the 8. Cox hit at right tagkle, cut to the left across the line of scrimmage and got to the 5, where he was hit hard and fumbled. Navy's Lawrence recovered. That was the way the first period went; the second was was no scoring and kept very nearly identical, except.

there back fairly well in its own territory. After the second half kickoff. Duke got down to the Navy 20 after covering a Middie fumbl 'and then couldn't punch over a score. Baysinger finally kicked out to Cox on the Duke 47 and he returned to the 40. Cox hit End Pat Lyons with a flat pass, but the play lost a yard.

Cox got about a foot at left guard. From punt formation, Cox set off around his left end and cut down the sidelines. At the Navy 30. Montgomery got in a neat block and at the 15. Austin contributed the final block spring Cox on to the goal.

Williams moved the ball to the 8 and McCully advanced it to the 11. On the next play, Duncan and Knotts broke through; Duncan smothering Baysinger's kick, the ball bounding out of the end zone at 10:20 to give Duke a 21-0 lead.

Navy roared right back to score. Taking over on its 35, the Middies drove the remainder of the distance to collect their only score of the afternoon.

A pass fell incomplete and then Baysinger hit McElroy again.

After completing short passes to Dick Sheffield and Bobby Jones, Ernst faded back to the South Carolina 45 and completed a long heave to Sheffield in the end zone for a touchdown.
