-Duke bolstered its hold on the Coast Conference lead impressive Atlantic, 21-6 victory over defending champion Clemson here Saturday afternoon. Sophomore Mark Leggett's dazzling 70-yard touchdown run in third period gave Blue Devils a 21-6 margin it needed as Clemson took charge of the action in the last period, twice being stopped a yard short of the goal. The Blue Devils marched for 62 yards for a 7-0 lead, but the Tigers came right back with a 67-yard payoff drive of their own but the missed extra point kept the Blue Devils in front, 7-6. Right after that Coach Bill Murray charges drove 69 yards for their second touchdown and the halftime lead was 14-6 on Captain Art Browning's second successful placement. The Tigers were very much in the game, though, until Leggett, the hard running sophomore from Asheboro, electrified the crowd of 33,000 with his 70-yard scamper to the goal.

Duke Holds. Duke had turned the ball over to the Tigers on the Blue Devil 34-yard line on a fumble. Clemson could not get a first down out of this chance and Duke took over on its 30. On the first play from there quarterback Walt Rappold sent Leggett on a sweep to the left. After gaining about 10 yards, the 186-pounder was pinned at the sidelines and seemed to be stopped.

Suddenly he broke free and was in the open. One Clemson man was close to him, but Leggett turned on the speed and went down the sidelines for the touchdown. Browning's third straight placement made the score 21-6. The 15-point margain was a big comfort to the Blue Devils after that as Clemson spent most of the remainder of the game in their territory. Duke now has a 4-0 record in the conference, with games with Wake Forest and Carolina remaining in their way of a clear claim to the title.

The overall record is 4-1 at the mid-season mark. Defensive Battle. What started off as an offensive battle in which neither team could be stopped effectively, turned i into a defensive battle after Leggett's long run. Clemson fumbled on the Duke 1-yard line one time but came right back to the 1 again, where a first was missed by inches. Duke, aside from Leggett's run.

was kept backed up inside its until the final minute of play when the Tigers lost the ball on a fumbled punt. In the first half Duke mixed short passes with its running to move the ball effectively on two long marches, but after the rest period the Clemson defense was too hard to crack. Leggett found the only opening the hard hitting Tigers allowed, and that was of great importance in the final outcome, The Duke defense did a good job of checking the passing of Lowndes Shingler, Clemson's fine quarterback. He was able to complete only seven of his 21 throws for 75 yards. Duke got 97 yards rushing and 53 passing in the first half, but except for Leggett's 70-yard scamper, could dent the Clemson defense for only 18 ground yards in the second half.

The Blue Devils crossed midfield four times in the game and got three touchdowns out of it. The Blue Devils won the toss land elected to receive. The kickoff was returned to their 42, but their first efforts were checked by a 15-yard holding penalty. Clemson got the ball on its 20. It could not get a first-down and punted to the Duke 38.

Altman Directs. From here quarterback Don Altman directed the Blue Devils on a touchdown march of 62 yards. He mixed passes with running plays for short but consistent yardage. The drive took 15 plays. With a first down on the Clemson 7, Altman twice sent hard running Joel Arrington off right tackle.

The junior from Georgia got five yards the first carry and on the second was given a big hole by the blocking of tackle Dave Bosson and fullback Jerry McGee. He went through it into the end zone standing up. Browning's kick made the Duke lead 7-0 after 9:52 of play. Clemson came, right back, with the help of a key offside penalty, to go 67 yards for a sophomore fullback Bill McGuirt was the workhorse in the advance. He carried the ball 11 times on the 16 plays needed.

He had the leather for the last seven, hitting the right side hard on most of them. This series of seven started from the Duke 17 as the second quarter commenced. The touchdown came on second down from the 3. Lon Armstrong, who 1 had kicked 10 straight this' season for the Tigers, missed the placement kick after a bad pass from center made him hurry the play. That made it 7-6, Duke.

Duke took the kickoff to its 32 and from there set in motion its second scoring drive. A 15-yard personal foul penalty and an eight -yard carry by Rappold helped move it to the Clemson 39. Two plays netted two yards before Rappold passed to Wright who made a low, diving catch on the 31. Leggett hit the left side and almost got away at the 26. Wright started around right end on the next play, fumbled the ball and Rappold picked it up and I reached the four on a 22-yard advance.

Fullback Dave Burch got two, Leggett moved it to within a foot of the goal and Burch went over right guard for the score. Browning's kick was good and Duke's lead was 14-6. There was no more scoring in the first half. Clemson had possession of the ball only four times -a figure it was to double in the second half. Clemson got the kickoff as the third period started.

It started from its 32 but made only seven yards and kicked to the Duke 23. Duke Fumble. Now the Blue Devils found a stiffer defense but Arrington got See DUKE, Page Four.

WINSTON-SALEM Maryland made better use of its scoring opportunities and defeated Wake Forest, 14-13, here Saturday night. The Terps made good on a twopoint conversion to decide the offensive thriller that found the Deacons missing several golden opportunities inside the Maryland 10-yard line, The Deacons spent much of the cool night on the Maryland side of the field but could get only two touchdowns. Meanwhile the Terps invaded Wake Forest deep territory only twice and each time scored.

Wake Forest took a 7-0 lead in the second quarter on a 32-yard pass from Snead to Bill Hull of Tarboro. This came after the Deacs had been stopped on the Maryland 9-yard line. Maryland, finding a lot of room on a fullback smash at left tackle from the I-formation, drove 68 yards for a second quarter touchdown. A pass for the two-point conversion was taken by Henry Piantowski from quarterback Dick Novak. That put the Terps in front at halftime, 8-7.

In the first half Maryland gained 205 yards running and passing but could get only six points out of it. The Deacons delighted the crowd of 11,000 on this cool night by going ahead in the third period when Bobby Robinson went around right end for a touchdown from the 3-yard line. This had been set up by a 32-yard pass from Snead to Hull. Wake Forest went for two points on the conversion. Snead, tried a pass that was incomplete, leaving the Deacons 13-8 advantage.

Maryland, however, charged right back for the winning touchdown, going 63 yards. Quarterback Dale Betty scored it from the 5-yard line. The Terps used fullback Pat Drass, who had been out of action for two weeks, extensively in this advance. He got the key yardage in the drive that consumed 17 The pass for the two-point conversion was complete, but end Gray Collins was caught pushing Bruce McDonnell before making the grab. That nullified the play and left the Terps in front.

14-13. That turned out to be the final score, but only because the Deacons missed a golden scoring opportunity when a Snead pass was intercepted in the end zone. Deacons Stage Drive. Right after the Terps went ahead, Deacons made this march that carried to the Maryland 6-yard line. The kickoff was returned to the 29.

Bobby Robinson of Clinton broke away for 31-yard run to the Maryland 40, but it was wiped out because of an illegal procedure penalty. But this did not stop the Deacons. A pass to Bill Ruby on third down and 15 got the march going out to the Wake Forest 41. Jerry Ball then made seven yards at tackle and Jack Tesh moved the ball across midfield to the Terp 46.

N. C. pack Saturday scored all State's Gabri Wolfits points in the first half and held on after intermission to down previously unbeaten Mississippi Southern, 20-13. Gabriel passed for two touchdowns and scored another in masterfully leading the Wolfpack on three long scoring drives, one in the first period after Southern had scored, and twice in the second period when he threw passes with perfection. The Wolfpack had waited three years for the taste of victory over the powerful Mississippi team.

They had failed in their first two attempts. The win gave State a 5-1 record for the season, assuring Coach Earle Edwards of at least his second best season since taking over as coach. Southern Scores. Mississippi Southern, one of the top offensive teams in the country and winner of its first four UNSER (D) games this season, took the openting kickoff and drove 59 yards in 14 plays to go ahead, 7-0. Halfback Johnny Silopan went Mover from the five and Bill Larson kicked for the 7-0 lead.

State came back with the same type drive, going 66 yards with Gabriel passing to George Vollmar from the 27 for the touchdown. The kick was blocked. But State took over again after holding the Southerners, driving from its 31 with Gabriel cracking over from the one on third down. The Wolfpack elected to go for the point play and Gabriel two passed to Claude Gibson to make the score 14-7. Southern drove in the third period 71 yards with reserve quarterback Morris Meador lead.

ing the, attack and passing four yards halfback Andin McLeod for the score. The try for the extra point was blocked by State's Jim Fitzgerald and the Wolfpack had the 20-13 lead with four minutes to play in the third quarter. The State defense, as adequate as the offense was in the first half, hung on as Southern attempted to get its offensive machine in motion. One of the key plays in the game came mid-way the fourth period when, with fourth and one on the State 26 and leading by seven points, Gabriel went for the first down and made it.

C. South Carolina did the job Saturday simply and without frills. Entering the win column for the first time this season, the Gamecocks ran straight at and over Carolina's Tar Heels in chalking up an impressive 22-6 6. victory. Stung by three straight defeats, the Gamecocks dominated this homecoming day, game before a sparse crowd of 17,000.

They sputtered; often during a scoreless first half but avoided mistakes in the second half. The result was three impressive touchdown marches during which they rammed the ball through Carolina on simple split dive plays. The Tar Heels, tasting defeat for the fourth time in five games, seldom could get their offense moving. They managed one drive, mostly on pass plays, that culminated in a fourth quarter touchdown that cut the score to 8-6. But South Carolina responded to that challenge with scoring drives the next two times it got the ball.

The final one came on a 44-yard quarterback sneak by Dave Sowell, a 185-pound junior who did some outstanding running throughout the game. After a lack-luster first half in which neither team penetrated the other's 20-yard line, South Carolina went to work midway in the third quarted. A fumble recovery at the Carolina 35 presented the opportunity and it wasn't wasted. Eight Plays to Score. The Gamecocks used eight plays, all on the ground, and Billy Gambrell went over from the three after taking a pitchout and sweeping outside of Carolina's bunched defense.

Jim Costen, who divided the quarterback duties with Sowell, rolled out to his right and cut through right tackle for a twopoint conversion. There was 3:35 left in the third period with the score 8-0. Carolina took the kickoff and marched 77 yards, 92 yards in all due to a clipping penalty, for a touchdown. Four pass compleRay Farris featured the move which was climaxed by a one-yard plunge by Farris. An attempted pass by the quarterback for the tying points was batted down at the line of scrimmage.

The Tar Heels though couldn't handle the Gamecock attack any better after the kickoff. Using mostly straight ahead dives again by halfbacks Jack Morris and Billy Gambrell, South Carolina surged 71 yards for its See SOUTH, Page Four.
