OR BAD -Deacs Seek 1st Win, Blue Devils 3rd In RowDuke Hosts Wake Forest By DICK HERBERT. DURHAM Duke's football team opens its home schedule by playing Wake Forest here Saturday afternoon. The kickoff is at 2 o'clock and the Blue Devils are expected to score their third straight victory. Not since Bill Murray's first Duke team, in 1951, have the Deacons been able to take the measure of their Big Four rival. They come into this one with an 0-2 record brought about by losses at Baylor and to South Carolina.

The defeat from the Gamecocks was by a slender 10-7 margin. In view of Duke's tight squeeze, 7-6, against the same team there is some basis for believing the Deacons will be able to offer stiff resistance. Changed Offense. In recent seasons the Blue Devils have won rather handily, but they will be opposing a Wake Forest team with a greatly altered offense that stresses the running a attack and fundamental football. Duke blends it usual effective ground game with a dangerous overhead attack that last week set a school passing record in a 42-0 victory over Virginia.

The talented halfback corps of Jack Wilson, Mark Leggett, Dean Wright, and Joel Arrington has both running power and the ability to catch the passes of quarterbacks Walt Rappold and Gil Garner. Rappold was the No. 2 unit quarterback last season. Garner was No. 3 then, but this fall in two games he has thrown 11 passes and completed 10 of them.

Running Quarterbacks. Wake Forest uses quarterbacks Chuck Reiley and Wally Bridwell to do a lot of the running. The fullbacks, Gerald Rudelitsch and Craven Williams, get heavy duty. Donnie Frederick and Winston Futch are halfbacks capable of going the distance if given any running room. Bill Hull, the 6-6, 230- pounder from Tarboro, makes excellent target for passes.

Strong Punting. Both teams have good kicking. Randy Clark is a punting specialist for Duke who gets Bill Ruby handles chores good height on his End well for the Deacons. He was out of action at his end post for the South Carolina game but is expected to be ready. JOEL ARRINGTON, Duke standout at halfback.

THE SPORTS OBSERVER By Dick Herbert The World Series begins the Cincinnati phase with the two teams even at a victory each, As has been the case so many times in the past, excellent pitching has been the dominant factor. The performance of Whitey Ford in the opener brings into proper focus his value to the Yankees, This tended to be overlooked in all of the fuss and interest over the Roger Maris chase of the home run record. The performance of Joey Jay in the second game was equally brilliant except for one pitch thrown to Yogi Berra. The question now is which team has the most of this kind of pitching. Ford proved during his sensational season he thrives on more work than he got a year ago under Casey Stengel.

With two days off for travel it is possible for him to make three starts. Thus, having worked the first game and won, it could be a definite advantage for the Yankee. The Reds have yet to unleash the power of Vada Pinson and Frank Robinson. The Yankees have not had the services of Mickey Mantle. Milwaukee, which started the season with high hopes of being in the series, certainly could not have enjoyed the Wednesday game in which Jay turned in his masterful work.

They regarded him as one of the leading young pitchers in the game but got tired of his failures and traded him away. His 21 victories during the regular season and the World Series triumph are eloquent testimony to the enormity of their mistake. A year ago the Yankees three times ripped into Pittsburgh pitching in murderous fashion yet lost the other four games to good Pirate pitching. Perhaps what happens this afternoon will decide which team has the stronger pitching. Bob Purkey and Bill Stafford may be the ones to settle a standoff between Ford and Jay.

Two Seeking First Victory Today's football moves into its third week. Two of the Big Four teams go into it looking for their first victory. Wake Forest, one of them, is not given much of a chance at Duke. State is expected to defeat Virginia at Charlottesville, but that assignment could be much more difficult than some expect it to be. Duke could make its record 3-0 in the conference, but it then moves into a back breaking schedule that calls for games with Georgia Tech, Clemson, State, Navy, Michigan, Carolina, and Notre Dare.

Carolina's game with Clemson will do much to answer the question of whether the Tar Heels are as good as they looked against State. The followers of the Tigers are apprehensive because a loss could put them just about out of the title race before it has gone very far. State has come close twice but seeks a victory to get its championship bid under way. The Wolfpack has some problems it will correct. So does which was bombed on pass defense a week ago against Duke but which will have to correct that to keep up with Roman Gabriel and State.

Powers Win Without Passing There are some football critics who believe a team that does not pass a lot is conservative and missing the chance to win easily. Almost all coaches would rather run the bail than throw it. There are some interesting statistics from the powerful teams that won major games a week ago. Iowa, noted for its offensive power, gained only 23 yards passing on only seven attempts in a 28-7 vietory over California. Missouri gained only 24 yards on six passes in defeating national champion Minnesota.

Washington didn't make a yard in the air defeating Illinois. Notre Dame made 28 yards out of eight passes in a 19-6 victory over Oklahoma. Northwestern got only 10 yards passing while trouncing Boston College, 45-0. Michigan State, like Washington, did not make a yard by passing in a 30-0 trouncing of Wis- See SPORTS OBSERVER, Page Eleven. Bruce McDonnell, however, will miss the game.

He is the Deacs' No. 1 fullback. While Wake Forest has changed its style of play, Duke retains the swing end offense used to take it to conference championship a year ago. Peter Widender has replaced All-America Tee Moorman at the wide end position and is backed up by sophornores Stan Crisson and Jay Wilkinson. Against Virginia, Wilkinson, a quarterback who was shifted to end when Ed Chesnutt injured a knee and will be out for the season, returned a punt 63 yards the first time he touched the ball in varsity competition.

The Deacons have a weight advantage in the line, but the Duke forwards figure to have more speed. Both teams lost heavily at the tackle positions and have rebuilded there. The weatherman says it will be fair with the temperature approaching 80. crowd of about 20,000 has been forezast. After this game Duke goes to Georgia Tech next Saturday and Wake Forest plays at Clemson.

State tries for the third time to nail down its first victory when it meets hopeful Virginia in a homecoming day game here Saturday.

For Frank Howard's Tigers, this game will hold the key to how they will stack up in the rest of the league. They lost to conference Florida 21-17 and to ACC foe Maryland 24-21.

In both those games, the Tigers matched their foes in physical strength, but gave away the ball on seven of their 11 fumbles and permitted a humiliating record against passing 22 completions in 40 tries. Pass Defense. Needless to say, the Tigers have been working overtime to get their pass defense straightened out and their ball handling problems under control. Charlie Waller, Clemson backfield coach, labeled the bobbles as "freak fumbles, not And, no doubt, UNC's Jim Hickey has been priming his ace quarterback, Ray Farris, who directs both units on offense, for aerial forays into Clemson's porous secondary. Howard, at Raleigh Durham airport Friday, talking about the Tar Heels' probable air raids, quipped: "I don't care what they do just so they don't come over the goal Both teams are big, and able to match up 250-plus tackles.

Clemson has Ronnie Osborne, down from his listed 270, and UNC presents Tony Hennessey whose most recent statistics included 255 pounds. And both are deep through at least two teams. Hickey said that in some positions he can't tell the difference between his third and second teams. UNC Linebacker. Carolina's line stalwarts are headed by center Joe Craver, 218- pound linebacker par excellence, and guards Duff Greene (201) and Jim LeCompte (222), both of whom are fast enough to pull out and lead interference.

Pairing up with Osborne, a former high school fullback, at tackle on Clemson's starting unit will be Dave Hynes (218). Lon Armstrong (199) and Co-Capt. Calvin West (194) are good, journeyman guards. Armstrong handles place kicking chores. If the Tigers have an edge, it's at quarterback where they have two tested field generals in junior Joe Anderson and sophomore Jim Parker.

So far, Hickey has chosen to use only Farris as his quarterback. However, Farris did everything the Tar Heels could ask of him in play execution and in passing. The senior from Charlotte hit on five of eight tries. At the other backfield positions, both teams are well stocked in big hard runners who can also block. Halfbacks are plentiful and strong, and each team has two See CAROLINA, Page Eleven.

The Yanks rode a train and did not arrive until mid-morning. Bright, warm sunshine greeted the two teams in their workouts in the Cincinnati park.

Fred Hutchinson, manager of the Reds, was so pleased with his club's performance Thursday that he said he would use the same limeup in the third game. That meant Elio Chacon, the speedy Venezuelan who dashed home with the tie-breaking run on a passed ball, would be at second base although Don Blasingame's injured hand was much improved.

Hutchinson also stuck with John Edwards, his rookie catcher who came through with two key blows in Thursday's victory.

Wilder's Last Game. Wilder, 225-pound junior letterman, will be playing his last game this season at tackle. He's been called to active duty by the Army and is scheduled to leave Tuesday. State was outplayed widely by Wyoming and Carolina although the scores were close (15-14 and 27-22), and that is why Edwards is so concerned. The team has not been as strong in the line as coaches think it should have been and the injuries to centers Sam Raneri and Jerry Krecicki have created a big problem at that position.

The centers call defensive signals and boys at that important post are to the difficult job. Oscar Overcash1 is a converted tackle and Rob Royer a converted end. The inexperience at the linebacking posts has also put more pressure on the secondary. "Our deep backs have been making a lot of tackles," Edwards pointed out, "but on a good team the linebackers should make them." The coach said he thought center Jim Fitzgerald, senior linebacker on last year's team, make a 20 per cent difference in our defense."

Because of the difference in the parks, Hutchinson planned to shift Frank Robinson from left to right field and to move Wally Post from right to left. That was a normal procedure for the club in home games. The tidy Cincinnati park, freshly painted and groomed for its first Series games since 1940, presented a sharp contrast spacious Yankee Stadium. Crosley Field can take care of only a few more than 30,000, compared to the stadium with its 70,000 capacity. While Yankee Stadium has shorter distances down the foul lines, it has far reaches of grass in left center and center field where outfielders can roam after long fly balls.

Vada Pinson of the Reds pulled down a couple in New York that might have been homers in Cincinnati. Crosley Field's fences all are reachable at less than 400 feet. The longest is 390 in right center.
