Mental, Physical Assets Keep Durham's Bulldogs Undefeated By CHARLES GESINO Durham Coach Bernie Blaney admits his team's physical assets have had something to do with the Bulldogs' 8-0 record this season. But, the coach would rather talk about his club's mental capabilities first. "You don't have to get this team up for a game," he claimed. "They generate their own enthusiasm and get themselves up." portance Blaney this emphasized attitude the imsquad, especially when "the club's on a winning streak. "It's usually hard to keep a team keyed up over the course of a long he said.

"Boys will normally drag a bit when approaching game against an opponent with a poor record. That's when they get beat. But not this for group." Preparations Jacksonville last week were the (squad's best of the season, ey said. want to win," he added. "They work hard." And they won, 19-0.

Blaney said he told his boys at the start of the season they were to have to accept the challenge and responsibilities of their No. 1 ranking in the Eastern 4-A Conference. "And they've risen to the occasion and accepted that challenge," he said emphatically. In rolling over eight foes, the Bulldogs have chalked up 217 points. They've allowed 14.

Only Fayetteville has crossed their goal line. One TD came on a blocked punt. Blaney cites the return of nine key lettermen from last year's 9-3 club, the emergence of several boys with limited experience and a transfer student for his team's success.

Little Romps, So Does Orange NEW YORK (AP) Floyd Little rambled for four touchdowns, marking his biggest explosion of the season, as a rampaging Syracuse football team romped over Pitt 51-13 Saturday.

Syracuse's third straight victory and fifth in seven games came surprisingly easy. Little, a junior who threatens to surpass the amazing feats of past Syracuse stars Jimmy Brown and Ernie Davis, scored two touchdowns in the second quarter on a 15-yard run and on a 95-yard punt return and two in the third on runs of one and 26 yards. In Syracuse's first six games this season, Little scored three touchdowns in three different games. His 95-yard ramble against Pitt was his fifth long TD run of the year. He also has scored on runs of 69, 72, 85 and 91 yards.

Biddel had a 79 Saturday to match his 76, 78 and 81. Smith soared to an 82, but had carlier rounds of 77, 78. and 77.

PREP CLIPBOARD By Grady Elmore There are some things more important than winning a football game- even THE game-of-the-year matching archrivals with undefeated ted records, likely to mean the difference between a perfect season.

The following letter was received by Farmville Mayor Frank Allen: "We, the undersigned, were the officials at the AydenFarmville game. We would like for you to know that nowhere in Eastern North Carolina have we been more impressed with the courtesy and considerations shown to us. "Chief of Police (Graham) Creel met us at the gate, paid us, escorted us on and off the field, served us refreshments at halftime, and was very polite and helpful to us. Believe me, this does not happen everywhere we go. We certainly appreciated the way we were treated by Chief Creel and thought that such kindness should not go unnoticed.

"Also, we would like to comment on the game. Certainly the turning point in the game was the penalty called against Farmville, revoking a touchdown. At no time was there any complaining by players, coach or fans. Coach (Elbert) Moye, as usual, was a gentleman in every respect of the word. "Again, we enjoyed our visit to Farmville.

The city, school and fans should be congratulated for being Number One in sportsmanship. We look forward to coming again to Farmville, and we thank you for such fine treatment." The letter was signed Bud Fowle, Shep Grist, David Fowle. The game it marked the end of an by officials Billy Asby and Moye was won by Ayden, 14-0, and 18-game Farmville win streak. The Farmville Boosters Club, composed of townspeople interested in the school's programs, designates a member to meet officials at each game and serve as their host. It just happens that Chief Creel is the member taking care of officials this year.

Earlier in the season the club also prepared for the loss that would break the winning streak. Special ribbons were prepared and worn by members willing to take the responsibility, stating that visitors were welcome and emphasizing good sportsmanship. The project was undertaken as a cushion to soften the disappointment of a loss, and to prevent any undue and unnecessary display of unsportsmanshiplike conduct or displeasure at questionable calls. Farmville people ought to be pretty proud of that No. 1 ranking.

(AP) Speedy Bobby Burnett bolted for a pair of touchdowns and opened the gates to secondranked Arkansas' 19th straight victory 31-0 over battered Texas Saturday night. The Razorbacks kept their Southwest Conference lead by pushing their record to 4-0. The 190-pound Burnett turned on his speed and burst into the end zone on runs from the one and seven and piled up 81 yards rushing in the first half against a stubborn crew of Cadets. The Razorbacks, with the nation's longest major college winning streak, tied 1939-40 conference record for consecutive victories and Texas' 1962-64 conference record of 12 straight league triumphs.

The inspired Aggies blunted Arkansas' first six and turned the first 22 minutes into a punting duel. But then Burnett supplied the power for an 80-yard, play march that broke the ice with 6:53 left in the second quarter. He gained 39 yards in the drive and got the score from the one. Arkansas scored on its next three possessions, going 77 yards in nine plays for Burnett's Tide Holds Back Late Rally, 10-7 JACKSON, Miss. (AP) Alabama's defense stopped two fourth quarter rallies by Mississippi State Saturday night and the Crimson Tide squeaked by the Maroons 10-7 in a thrilling Southeastern Conference football clash.

Sophomore defensive back Bobby Johns played a key role in halting both drives, led by State's scrambling quarterback Ashby Cook. Johns the Bama picked off a Cook on eight with than two minutes left to play. Johns also recovered a blocked Mississippi State field goal attempt just a few minutes earlier. The victory gave the 10th ranked Tide a 4-1-1 conference record and kept them in contention for their second straight, conference title. It was Mississippi State's third straight setback after four opening victories, and it practically knocked the Maroons out of the league scramble.

Alabama stunned State with the game, less than three minutes when Steve Sloan fired a long pass to sophomore Dennis Homan, good for 65 yards and a touchdown. The Tide pulled out front 10-0 in the third quarter on a 27-yard field goal by David Ray before Cook fired up his Maroons. Cook completed only one of five passes before intermission, but his aerials carried Mississippi State to a quick touchdown just after the Bama three pointerm He completed six passes in succession, climaxing the thrust with an 11-yard heave to Marcue Rhoden. Two minutes later Alabama fullback Steve Bowman fumbled, and State's Jim Courtney recovered the ball on the Tide 37. Cook passed 22 yards to Dave Nugent to set up a field goal attempt by James Neill, but the kick was blocked by Bama's Wayne Cook and Johns picked the ball and carried it out for the Tide.

Alabama was forced to punt six plays later, and State immediately began' driving toward the Crimson Tide goal line. But Johns' interception of Cook's pass broke up the threat and Alabama ran out the clock. The game was the nightcap of a Dixie football doubleheader played here.

Evans, a junior, didn't play last season. Senior tackle Jim Beck, 6-0 and 220, anchors a pulverizing line that averages 219 from tackle to tackle.

Evans leads the club in scoring. He's run for ten touchdowns and passed for seven others. Blaney has this to say about his classy 6-2, 170-pound quarterback: "He makes the offense go. He's blessed with ability. He throws well and can the second and third receivers.

He's a good scrambler probably the fastest man on the team. He's a fine blocker and a good listener who is willing to learn." Jones Underrated Junior halfback Donnie Cooke is the most improved player on the squad. "I didn't have any idea he would do so admitted Blaney. The left halfback is senior Tom Duncan who blocks better than Cooke but lacks his speed. At right halfback is senior Joey Dozier, considered the backfield's best blocker.

Fullback Eddie Jones is "the most underrated player in the according to Blaney. He's the workhorse, carrying about 12 times a game for a 6.7 average. He also calls defensive signals from his linebacking spot. Beck and Robert Perry, 6-0 and 205, are considered two of the finest tackles in the State. Most of the colleges are after Beck.

He plays both ways and has lettered since his sophomore year. "There's no better tackle in the State," Blaney said. "He's great I wouldn't trade him for Perry, whose brother David is on the squad, also plays both ways. "He's hard-nosed," said Blaney. "You don't find many like him." Center Larry Hester, 6-0, 180, is another college prospect.

Fred Young, a 5-11, 165-pound guard, was switched to guard from end. He is a tough linebacker on defense. Phillips Difference Guard David Phillips, a transfer from Charleston, S. has made a big difference in the squad. He's big and strong at 6-3, 292 pounds and plays both ways.

"He's saved us," declared Blaney. Tommy Pulley and Tommy Norwood have done outstanding jobs at end. So have defensive specialists Jim Perry at center, and Earl Echols and Bobby Jones in the secondary. Pulley, Jones are tri-captains. "They're good leaders." remarked the that coach.

Blaney admits he's got the biggest linemen he's ever had. In comparing this squad with last year's, he says this club moves the ball better, and plays together better defensivey, commiting fewer mistakes. He says the 1964 club may have been more aggressive. Last year's team finished second in the conference and went on to beat Gastonia in the semifinals, before losing to WinstonSalem Reynolds 14-6 in the finals. former Duke halfback, Blaney is in his fourth year at Durham.

His record is 26-13-1. This year, the Bulldogs have rolled over Northern Durham 51-0, Burlington 27-7, Goldsboro 21-0, Wilmington 26-0, Enloe 19-0, Wilson 33-0, Fayetteville 21-7 and Jacksonville 19-0. Broughton Feared Blaney declares that Fayetteville was the best club his Bulldogs have faced all year. "Gann (Roger) is a great runner," he said. "He keeps you on In the two games in which he scouted Broughton, next on Durham's schedule, Blaney come away impressed.

"They've got as good a defense as I've seen all year," he said. "Losing Randy Cameron has hurt them, but John Anderson has done a real good job in his place." Blaney's yet to enjoy an unbeaten season at Durham. If he can get by the Caps at Durham Friday night and Rocky Mount there Nov. 10, he'll have it made. touchdown from the seven, then marching to a 25-yard field goal by Ronny South for a 17-0 hafl time lead.

Smith spoiled homecoming for Winston-Salem State, 28-16, Saturday hefore 6,000 fans at Bowman Gray Stadium. The passing of quarterback George Foster, leading passer in the CIAA, and the running of halfback Allen Cole and fullback Wayne Staples ripped the Winston-Salem defenses.

Cole and Staples scored two touchdowns each, and Foster completed eight of 17 passes for 182 2 yards and threw two twopointers after touchdowns. Smith led 14-8 at halftime. Cole scored both touchdowns on runs of five yards and two yards. Fester passed to end Frank Fleming for the extra points. ABERDEEN Last year the Aberdeen Red Devils of the Class A Cape Fear Conference ran rough-shod over 12 opponents en route to their first undefeated season ever and a regional championship in the playoffs.

One of the big reasons for that record was deceptive halfback Dickie Walters, who scored 16 TDs. To date Aberdeen is 4-4 in 1965, but the performance of Walters against tougher competition has hardly slacked. The 5-11, 170-pounder has been the biggest reason for Aberdeen's success in Class 2-A ranks and against the likes of Hamlet, Wadesboro, Rohanen, and Siler City. Walters has scored seven sixpointers for the Devils this year and has been virtually unstoppable at certain times. In seven games he collected 374 yards in 45 carries for an 8.3 average and snared 11 passes for 202 yards.

In total offense he collected 797 yards and this doesn't include a contest in which pouring rain prevented the recording of statistics. All this adds up to tremendous excitement for anyone who watches the blue-chipper in action. With Walters in the Aberdeen backfield, the opposition is faced with the unenviable task of playing with a live bomb and never quite knowing when it will go off. Walters, naturally, is a crowd favorite for hometown fans and is a large reason for the Red Devil turnout at away games. Walters also handles punt returns and, has returned one down.

Walters also serves as cocaptain of the Red Devils and serves as a big link in the defensive backfield. He has established himself for bruising tackles and has proved at diagnosing enemy plans. He is one of the best backs ever to play here, now holds the record for most touchdowns in a career, 44. But the Abedreen fans aren't the only ones interested in the fleet-footed gridiron gem. At least one Big Four school is chomping at the bit to suit up the senior speedster.

DICKIE WALTERS Red Devil halfback slim hopes for a conference championship alive with their third victory in four starts, drove 89 yards on the passing of Don Unverferth to set up Funk's fifth three-pointer of the season. The Gophers made a dramatic bid to pull out the victory, moving 63 yards to Ohio State's eight in the waning moments of play. With only 14 seconds showing, Deryl Ramey's field goal attempt from the 15-yard line was wide to the left, and the Bucks had their triumph. It was a see-saw struggle all the way as the two teams meeting for the first time in 15 years treated the huge throng to a solid defensive show.
