21-Kenan Stadium was a reducing salon today. Climbing the stairs to press row was enough to break one out in a steaming sweat. What the players went through could have been endured only by the young and hardy. Heat and September football in the South go hand in hand, but seldom has there been humidity as oppressive as it was today. The first period was exciting as both teams moved the ball well.

Neither had to punt. But then the playing conditions took their toll. Under the circumstances the ball was all. right, but it just wasn't the kind of day to bring out the best in physical activity. After it was over Earle Edwards was pleased but not satisfied.

He was delighted the score was in State's favor, but he pointed out some of the errors that were made. There is an attempt this year not to make too much of a Carolina victory. The Wolfpack is going to have to be satisfied with more than that. Edwards re members the letdown that came in the second game of last season after the big 26-6 victory over the Tar Heels. Virginia Tech gave the Wolfpack a sound walloping and for the rest of the season it was a.

battle to get back to peak performance. Now State has more than a Carolina victory as its goal for the season. It wants to have a winning record for the year, and in that respect Carolina was just one of the 10 games. But it was a big one as it always will be. The news coming in from Texas emphasized the fact there is no time for too much celebrating.

Maryland was a 13-point underdog to Texas A. and M. but gave the highly ranked Aggies a real battle before losing 21-13. State will be at College Park next week. Reserves Do Their Job Well That State is the dark horse in the conference be seen from the way it operated today.

There was no indication of defensive weakness that hurt the Wolfpack many times in the past three years. Today it had a sound defense, especially against Carolina's running game. The statistics make the pass defense look very good in that the Tar Heels completed only four of 17, but Edwards was aware that on several plays the Carolina receiver was in the clear only to have the pass thrown too far or too short. There will be work in the State camp in covering the aerials. Heartening to the State followers was the manner in which the reserves took over and played almost on a par with the starters.

Today it was a question of manpower. A squad without some depth would have been wrecked in the second period. But the State reserves gave the varsity the rest it needed. Carolina, too, used its second team and some members of the third. It was the kind of day where this was absolutely necessary.

The iron-man teams you used to see would have succumbed to the conditions. The heat and the heartbreak of another opening defeat will be difficult to overcome. But, like State, what happened today must be forgotten quickly. Clemson comes here next Saturday and while the Tigers are not supposed to be as strong as they were a year ago, they have a lot of rugged boys and in sophomore Harvey White have very dangerous quarterback. After that Navy moves into Kenan Stadium and what the Middies did to Boston College today supports all of the bullish statements you have been reading about the strength of this season's Navy team.

(Staff Photo by Lawrence Wofford.) Duke Tops Gamecocks 26-14 Form Holds In Majority Of Openers By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. Oklahoma, colossus of the nation's college football powers, ground Pitt-itself a formidable outfit-to a helpless 26-0 hulk yesterday as the 1957 season got under way with form holdup for the most part. The only upset of any proportion-and it could not be classed as major- -was North Carolina State's 7-0 victory over North Carolina in an Atlantic Coast Conference game. The Tar Heels were rated slight favorites, probably because Jim Tatum rarely- gets beaten by the same team twice in a row. It was State that spoiled Tatum's debut at his alma mater last year and did the same thing this time around.

Texas A. and the favorite to win the Southwest Conference title, had no sinecure against Maryland in the NCAA television game of the week. The Aggies finally won, 21-13, but they could do no better than a 7-7 tie at the half. Each team scored another touchdown in the fourth quarter, but Maryland missed its conversion. That's how it stood, 14-13 Texas A.

and until the final minute of play when Charlie Milstead bulled over from the 1 with an insurance tally. A handful of coaches made, their debuts and at least two teams started their rebuilding programs auspiciously. Jim Myers, who took over at Iowa State this year, got off on the right foot when his team whipped Denver, 10-0. But the news was bad for Bill Jennings at Nebraska and Milt Drewer at William and Mary. Washington State unleashed at aerial artist in Bob Newman and rolled over Nebraska, 34- 12, in a major intersectional game, while George Washington made a solitary third period touchdown stand up for a 7-0 Southern Conference triumph over Georgia Tech and Detroit both started rebuilding programs after poor '56 seasons.

Bobby Dodd's Ramblin' Wrecks turned back Kentucky, 13-0, with 19. year-old sophomore Fred Brazelton handling most of the offense. Detroit shut out Mara quette, 14-0. The loss was Marquette's 11th straight. With the defeat of Pitt, Navy found found itself in a good position to make a bid for Eastern honors.

The Middies, proclaimed the strongest team in the Academy's history by many servers, crushed Boston College, 46-6. Virginia recorded a minor reversal by coming back in fourth period to tie West Virginia, 6-6, while Clemson rolled up its highest score since 1949. a 66-0 shellacking of Trian.

21- South Carolina football faithful, in dreamland since last year's opening 7-0 upset over Duke, came tumbling down to earth here tonight. Duke, harnessing its raw power in the second half, sooth-1 ed its wounded pride with a 26-14 victory and stabbed its pitchfork into an estimated 40,000 fans. It was the prides of the Palmetto State who struck first, scoring a touchdown early in the second quarter. But the Dukes had had enough of this such nonsense by now. Coach Bill Murray's Devils then summoned their and it was there.

They potect the count with a second-quarter touchdown and then flexed their muscles after the intermission. The Methodist marauders blasted the contest open with scoring drives of 78, 51, and 60 yards first three times they had the ball in the second half. Late S.C. Score. South Carolina made the outcome a little more pleasant on a 55-yard scoring play on a pass from halfback Heyward King to halfback Carroll McLain with 1:59 left in the game.

But that just made things look better. If the experts are right, Duke should now have smooth sailing to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship and the January 1 trip to the Orange Bowl as the league's representative. The Gamecocks were considered the chief obstacle. For the first 30 minutes there wasn't much to choose between the teams although South Carolina may have had a slight edge in the scrapping. But after the rest, the Duke horses came bolting out of the stable door.

Halfbacks George Dutrow, Wray Carlton, Eddie Rushton and Don Lee were prancing high beind an aggressive Devil line. Before the Gamecocks' late touchdown, they had the ball for only nine running plays. AllAmerica candidate Roy Hord, Duke guard, threw a lot of weight around in the Blue Devils' stout defense. Running Stopped. South Carolina gained 121 yards rushing in the first half but could net only 16 more in the final two periods.

The Blue Devils finished with 290 yards on the ground, only 94 of which were accumulated in the first half. Ironically it was a break which enabled Duke to get back in the game in the second quarter. South Carolina had mustered its first six points on an 80-yard drive, immediately following a futile Duke field gold attempted by Sam Eberdt from the Carolina 14 which was partially blocked by Julius Derrick. Halfback King Dixon slipped over from the two for the touchdown and Alex Hawkins converted with 11:47 remaining in the second period. A few minutes later came the break for Duke and it capitalized, Grid Scores Devils Win Duke USC First downs 17 11 Rushing yardage 290 137 Passing yardage 0 74 Passes 0-3 2-5 Passes intercepted by 0 Punts Fumbles lost 1 Yards penalized 30 95 Duke 0 7 13 6-26 South Carolina 0 07 0 7-14 scoring touchdowns: Millner (1, sneak), Dutrow (7, run), Brodhead (1, plunge), Carlton (12, run).

End Bert Lattimore bounced en a fumble by Gamecock sub quarterback Sam Vickers on the Carolina 25. Seven plays later sub quarterback Pryor Millner pounded into the end zone from the one. Ebert's good placement made the score 7-7. South Carolina appeared to drain its strength when it took the kickoff and marched from its own 34 to the Duke 7 before passes on third and fourth down fell incomplete with only seconds maining in the half. On the opening kickoff of the second half, the Gamecocks got a break when Dutrow fumbled on the Devil 30 and Bobby Bunch recovered.

But the one touchdown underdog Gamecocks couldn't make the 10 yards for a firstdown. In fact they were pushed back to the 46 when Bunch was thrown for a nine-yard loss by end Dave Hurm and on a five yard penalty. Following the punt the Devils took over on their 22. A 30-yard dash by Carlton lit the fire and it was 12 plays later that Dutrow went wide from the 7 for the touchdown with 6:15 left in the quarter. Eberdt's placement attempt was blocked by Don Rogers.

The next time Duke got the ball it smashed 51 yards in 10 plays for its third TD, quarterback Bob Brodhead getting this one from the 1. The pounding became now and there was no the Duke smashes off the tackles. The fourth scoring drive carried 60 yards in 12 plays. Carlton swept end 1 for 12 yards and the touchdown. Jim Harris' placement was no good.

Fullback Hal McElhaney, Dutrow, and Carlton ate up the yardage in the march. That was it except for South Carolina's final flare. King passed to McLain out in the open on the Duke 25 and the halfback went the rest of the way untouched. Don Johnson kicked the extra point. The Gamecocks suffered big blow on Duke's second touch down drive when 220-pound See DUKE, Page Four, STATE.

The Wolfpack was helped along on pass defense by the inability of the Carolina throwers to hit their marks. But up in the line the red shirted State warriors refused to be budged. They beat their heavier opponents to the jump and stopped the ground attack. Halfway through the final period the Tar Heels had one last chance when a 35-yard pass from sopho- Carolina looked its best the first time it got the ball. That was after State's field goal attempt had failed.

From its 20 the Tar Heels got a first-down in three running plays. Then Daley Goff fumbled a pitchout on a pass play but picked up the ball and fired a beauty to Payne on the left sidelines. The Tar Heel captain made an excellent catch just before going out of bounds at the 40. The play was good for 19 yards. Shupin, Schuler, and Goff picked up another first as See STATE'S, Page Four.
