if THE NEWS AND OBSERVER, RALEIGH, SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 15, 1952. Deacs, Devils Battle Today; Tar Heels 'at USC; State at Pitt The SPORTS OBSERVER By Dick Herbert Fighting Irish Want This One Just notes: The trend ting the against bowl games already is pinch on the promoters of the big, rich events. The Sugar Bowl stole a march on the others Tech a couple days after it defeated Duke. And yesterday the by signing Georgia Cotton Bowl couldn't stand the uncertainty any longer and gave its invitation to Tennessee. The Vols have a good football team, their record up to the present doesn't but merit a bowl bid early.

They have licked Wofford, Chattanooga, Mississippi State, LSU, Carolina, and Alabama and were beaten soundly by Duke. Alabama 'is the only winning team the Vols have handled. They may make the invitation look good by winning the remaining games on their schedule, but the Cotton Bowl people will be uneasy until this afternoon's results are in. Florida was able to give Georgia Tech its closest game of the year, and 1 the Gators could cause trouble for Tennessee if the Vols' offense hasn't improved The Sugar Bowl is hoping for something to break in the Southern Conference which would permit Maryland to return and meet Tech. But so far there -is no indication such a thing will happen.

That would be a great ball game. Jim thinks maybe his defensive combination would prove to be too strong for Tech. He and Bobby Dodd worked together this summer coaching the College All-Stars Georgia Tech and Alabama are featured on today's television show, and once again TV will take its toll at the box office elsewhere. Next week it's the big one between Southern California and UCLA. The folks who stay at home get a lot football entertainment for nothing.

Michigan and Notre Dame and Penn are losing a lot of money because of controlled TV by the NCAA. It's the little fellow that has to be protected, else give up the sport They say in Atlanta that Georgia Tech will be much too smart for Alabama this afternoon and will win handily despite the loss of Leon Hardeman with an injured ankle Tom Walsh, the genial Irishman who serves as advance man for the famous Harlem Globetrotters, was in town yesterday. There are reports going about that there are several Globetrotter units and the best one won't be at the Coliseum. There is nothing to that report. Goose Tatum and all of the stars will be with the Trotters.

They know Raleigh is one of the best spots they visit and wouldn't take a chance on ruining their good standing here Notre Dame may not have reached peak last week in the surprise win over Oklahoma. The Fighting Irish regard Michigan State as the big opponent for this season because of the 35-0 pasting of a year ago. Frank Leahy hasn't been able to do much pointing for any one game because of the toughness of his schedule. The Irish will be ready to go all out against the Spartans, but they will encounter much stiffer defense than was offered by Oklahoma Fans of this area probably will know a lot about the various teams in the major bowl games. Georgia Tech played at Duke and so did Tennessee.

They are the two that have been named already. Texas is favored to win the Southwest Conference championship and thus oppose the Vols in the Cotton Bowl. The Longhorns played in Chapel Hill when Carolina opened its season. They made a fine impression, and it was difficult to understand how they were licked by Notre Dame and walloped by Oklahoma. Since then they have been looking good Former Carolina Assistants Meet Virginia still has an outside chance for the Orange Bowl, provided the university officials look with favor on an invitation.

There are reports they won't. The Cavaliers lost some standing with the losses to Duke and South Carolina but they should be the only blots on the record. The Orange Bowl may have trouble coming up with two teams with outstanding records, but the people down there seem to be more interested in seeing a spectacular show If Carolina beats South Carolina today, look for a rash of game reports featuring the oldie about what one governor said to the other. It's been a long time between wins for the Tar Heels and their last one was against the Gamecocks. A victory for South Carolina would give institution a banner year which wasn't expected.

Rex Enright figured to have a good team but not one capable of licking Clemson. Virginia, and Carolina Maryland is favored by only two touchdowns against Mississippi. This game brings together head coaches who at one time were assistants at Carolina. Johnny Vaught, who has done a fine job at Ole Miss, was the righthand man of Bear Wolf, when he was boss of the Tar Heels. Jim Tatum served as an assistant to Carl Snavely and one year during the war was acting head coach A lot of football fans wonder why Baylor is favored by only one touchdown against Houston.

That is a school which is coming up in the football world. It has a lot of talent and is getting stronger each year. Since its opening game it hasn't given up more than one touchdown in any contest. The Bears may have trouble coming back after their fine effort against Texas last Clemson is having its troubles. It has been finding an intersectional schedule very difficult.

Last week it got off to a quick 12-0 lead against Fordham and then was lucky to escape with a tie. This week it runs into a Kentucky team which is beginning to operate like the Kentucky teams of the recent past. Clemson won't have to ponder a bowl invitation this year unless the promoters get desperate There will be a lot of interest in the Princeton-Yale game this afternoon. Jordan Olivar has done an excellent job as a hurried replacement for Herman Hickman, and there are some who believe his Yale team has a chance against Princeton, which isn't quite as strong as it been in recent seasons GW Mauls Davidson, 40-13 Davidson G.W. downs 10 19 First Rushing yardage 166 285 Passing yardage 58 144 Passes attempted 18 Passes completed Passes intercepted Punts Punting average Fumbles lost penalized 92 Yards WASHINGTON, Nov.

WAKE FOREST, Nov. 14-The Demon Deacons of Wake Forest hope to complete their third straight season without, a defeat within the Big Four as they meet Duke tomorrow in Groves Stadium. Not since a 27-14 upset loss to State in 1949 have the burly Baptists bowed to a Big Four rival. They are the streak seven-point broken underdogs by the to split-T Devils who hope to get back on the winning track after derailments by Georgia Tech and Navy. The Southern Conference title won't be settled for several weeks, but the winner tomorrow will be 1 have Wake crown.

Duke finishes its schedule next week against Carolina. Seek Fifth Straight. The Deacons have won the last four meetings and have pointed for the chance to become the first opponent in modern football history to lick the Blue Devils five in a row.

Duke opened its campaign impressively with six straight wins, against Washington and Lee, Southern Methodist, Tennessee, South Carolina, State, and Virginia, but then it ran into Georgia Tech and Navy and took sound beatings. All week Coach Bill Murray and his aides have been attempting to rally the Duke squad for tomorrow's important family feuding. He regards Wake Forest as one of the best teams on the Duke schedule of toughies and knows the Deacons have been looking ahead to the contest. Coach Tom Rogers at Wake Forest hasn't had any difficulty getting boys aroused for the engagement. Before the season started and Duke was established as the favorite for the Southern Conference crown, Deacons became determined to show who still is king in the Big Four.

Strong Lines. They will send their strong defensive line against a attack which looked good until it ran into the resistance offered by Georgia Tech and Navy. Murray expects the Wake Forest line to be just about as difficult to push. Most Deacon opponents of the DUKE. WAKE FOREST.

Tech TCU Navy season have resorted to an overhead attack to get around the stalwart defense thrown up by such veterans as Tackles Bob Gaona and Ken Bridges, Guards Bud Pickard and Bill Finnance, Ends Jack Lewis and Ed Stowers, and Linebackers Tom Donahue, Joe Koch, and Jimmy Zrakes. Duke has an excellent passer in Worth Lutz, who found little chance to throw in the losses to Tech and the Middies.

Howard Pitt, the rangy end from Hertford, is the principal receiver and that combination may play a big role in the outcome. George at Quarterback. Wake Forest's passing is in the hands of Quarterback Sonny George and Ends Lewis and Bob Ondilla. Duke rates second in the nation in pass defense, so George evidently will have to be at his best to make the Deacon overhead attack work. The status of Red Smith, rugged right halfback for Duke, is in doubt, SO the Blue Devils may have worked on some backfield revisions this week.

Piney Field, a 155- pounder whose forte is speed, is the No. 1 replacement for Smith. There has been speculation though about Duke's coming up with a new combination for the Deacons. Koch, Billy Churm, Pete Coker, Larry Spencer, Bruce Hillenbrand, and Jimmy Bland are the Wake backs who, too, must run against a strong line. The Blue Devil defense slipped considerably with the loss of Guard Bobby Burrows on the first play of the Tech contest.

The Deacons have a .500 record for the campaign with wins over William and Mary, Carolina, and State, losses to Baylor, Villanova, and Texas Christian, and a tie with Boston College.

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 14 University of Pittsburgh Panwill rule a four-touchdown favorite over State's Wolfpack in Pitt Stadium tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. A crowd of about 000 is expected and the weatherman promises warm weather scattered showers. Coach Red Dawson's Panthers have scored several impressive victories this season and Pitt is receiving consideration for a Sugar Bowl bid.

Dawson, however, refuses to comment on that issue. While watching his spirited Panthers run through a light practice this afternoon, he said, "State is our worry at the present. After that we' conclude our season against our arch rivals-Penn State. Before those two games we aren't thinking about bowls. The school's policy concerning bowls is not known because it hasn't been faced with problem." Tackle Problems.

Dawson added that his big problem had been at the tackles this season. He will start sophomores against State, Eldred Kraemer and Lou Palatella. Halfback Bill Reynolds, a 190- pond speedster from St. Mary's W. is the leader in the backfield.

In seven games, Reynolds has gained 605 yards for a 5.2 average in 106 carries. Fullback Bobby Epps has gained 266 yards for a 4.2 average. At the other half is Bill Hoffman, who has averaged 2.8 per try. Quarterback Rudy Mattiloa, a sophomore transfer from the University of Kentucky, is dangerous as a runner or passer. He has gained 161 yards for a 2.9 average and has completed 46 passes in 99 attempts for 532 yards.

Pitt Has 5-2 Mark. The Panthers have won five games while losing only two. Three of the wins have been over Big Ten opponents-Iowa, Indiana and Ohio State. Notre Dame and Army were also victims of Pitt. Oklahoma and West Virginia defeated the Panthers.

The upset at the hands of Virginia of the Southern Conference prompts Dawson to warn his club against overconfidence in the game tomorrow with State. The Pitt coach is probably worried that too much attention is being turned toward Penn State and a possible bowl bid. State arrived here, about noon. Coach Horace Hendrickson, accompanied by his entire coaching staff, brought 42 players. The only injuried State player is J.

The game's final project itself into annual fall dickering for season bowl appearances since Maryland is sought, though its Southern Conference bans bowl games, and Mississippi so far is unsought and eager. Ole Coach John Vaught, tacitly accepting his Rebels' role as two to three touchdown underdog, said simple, "We are as ready as we can be for Maryland." The Marylanders, complete with that awesome trio of Quarterback Jack Scarbath, Halfback Chet Hanuluk and Tackle Dick (Little Mo) Modzelewski, have been ready all. season.

Drill at Memphis. The Maryland squad stopped off in Memphis, today, 90 miles to the northwest, for a workout and a night's lodging. Coach Tatum's Terps were idle last week and slipped a notch to the No. 3 spot in the Associated Press' national ranking, below Michigan State and Georgia Tech. Maryland's 21-game string of victories and its lofty national ranking ride on their performance tomorrow.

to Conversely, Mississippi, standing the 11th spot, could expect to grab a bright piece of football luster they managed to topple the Terps. Groat's All-Stars At High Point HIGH POINT, Nov. 14. Dick Groat's Duke All-Stars, a basketball team led by the former Duke All-America and composed of Groat and other former Duke cagers, opens its season here Saturday night against the powerful High Point YMCA at the Gym at 8 o'clock. The probable starting lineup for the All-Stars will be composed of three starters from the Duke team of last year along with two top reserves off last year's team.

Groat and Dick Johnson will be at the guards, Dick Crowder at center Fleming and Dick Latimer at the forwards. Other players on the club are Jim (Red) Kulpan, Dave Scarborough and Carl Sapp. All of the players entered Duke together as freshmen in 1948 with the exception of Johnson, Sapp and Scarborough. Sapp and Scarborough played at Duke under the late Gerry Gerard and Johnson was a junior last year, but gave up his final year of eligibility to sign a bonus contract with the professional baseball Chicago Cubs last summer. All are currently completing their studies at Duke with the exception of Sapp and Scarborough.

Sapp, a native of Raleigh, is connected with the Durham Chamber of Commerce and Scarborough is a coach at Guilford High School. Groat, the player of the year in the nation's collegiate circles last year, joined the Pittsburgh Pirates in mid-June and played the rest of the season, hitting .285 to rank as the second best hitting shortstop in the majors. Only Alvin Dark of the Giants topped Groat's bat mark. The game will be the first of approximately 15 games for the Stars this season. The schedule has not been completed or announced as yet, but will be published shortly.

Other November dates already set are: 20-at Clinton; 25-at High Point College; 26 at McCrary Hosiery, Asheboro; 29-at Enka Mills, Asheville. The team still has open dates on its schedule and information may be obtained by writing to Box 4344, Duke Station, Durham, N. C. Tom Scott, former University of North Carolina basketball coach, is now head coach of the Phillips Oilers. today at Wake Forest.

Safetyman Sommers, pass defense ace of Duke's defending backfield, hopes to bat a lot of 'em down, and maybe intercept a few. Duke is favored to break its four-year-old jinx against the Deacons. Air Battle Tar Heels Hope to End 11- Game Losing Streak; Gamecocks Favored NORTH CAROLINA Texas 28 Wake Forest 9 14 Notre Dame 34 Tennessee 41 7 Virginia 34 SOUTH CAROLINA 33 Wofford Army 27 Furman Duke 33 Clemson 21 Virginia 14 35 The Citadel 0 By FRANK O'BRIEN. COLUMBIA, S. Nov.

14-The decision in tomorrow's "Battle of the Carolinas" is going to be up i in air. That, at least, is the forecast on the eve of Saturday's clash between the visiting North Carolina Tar Heels and the South Carolina Gamecocks. The warfare is scheduled for 2 o'clock and about 15,000 spectators will watch. The measure of success enjoyed by each team this season has been due largely to its passing attack, and tomorrow each is expected to exploit its aerial fireworks to the fullest as the two old rivals renew their annual grudge on the gridiron. Gamecocks Favored.

The Gamecocks will rule a oneto-two touchdown favorite over the winless Tar Heels. It's a role South Carolina hasn't enjoyed in many seasons, and this afternoon Coach Rex Enright wasn't especially happy over it. He sat in his office and brooded. "I'm not kidding," he frowned, "we're worried about tomorrow's game. I know that North Carolina is going to stop losing some time.

They are going to rise up and hit hard before this season is over. And I just hope it won't be against us tomorrow." He said, however, he thought his team could win-if the coach emphasized the "if." He said, "We can beat them (North Carolina) if they play the same ball against us that they played against Tennessee and Notre Dame. But how do you know what they'll do? They are certainly capable of beating us. We just don't know what to expect." The Tar Heels are on an 11-game losing streak, and it started last year following their win over South Carolina. They would like to end this longest losing streak in their history against this Gamecock eleven.

Coach Carl Snavely and his Tar Heels aren't being accorded much chance of accomplishing the feat, in spite of Enright's worried mind. The notion persists that the Gamecocks, this time, have too much advantage against the Tar Heels. The Gamecocks have continued to climb toward what can be their best season since 1947, and the Expected at LARRY PARKER UNC Halfback. march has been built on the passing quarterback, Johnny Gramling, and the excellent play of the defensive team. These two items have combined to give South Carolina five victories in seven games played so far.

Good Defense. Their defense is no idle dream, as most folks have learned by now. They rank first in the Southern Conference in total defense and rank sixth nationally. This sort could prove particularly rough on the Tar Heels for North Carolina hasn't, yet whipped its new into a dangerous weapon. The Tar Heels have managed only seven touchdowns in five games.

The chief offensive threat for North Carolina again will be its freshman quarterback from Clinton, Marshall Newman. Newman will handle the passing, and Larry Parker, Chal Port, and Bud Wallace are likely be the busiest carriers. Port and Parker boast the best Tar Heel rushing averages. Port has a 5.9 average, Parker has a 3.9 average. But the aerial war between Newman and Gramling remains the big item.

Newman has completed 21 in 70 attempts and have been for touchdowns, showing clearly where North Carolina gets its, scoring, year punch. so far Gramling and has has a decided edge over Newman. Gramling ranks 10th in the conference on total offense, and is sixth in passing with 42 completions in 95 tries, including seven touchdowns. He looms even more dangerous in view of North Carolina's poor pass defense. Injuries will bother the Tar Heels TIME there's that catty Helen Forbes over there.

I wouldn't have come if I'd known she'd be here." Columbia tomorrow. Linebacker Doug Bruton, a key player on pass defense, is sidelined. Also injured are Billy Williams, Bob White, Ken Keller, and Billy Hawks. Wilmington's Flo Worrell, an AllState halfback last year at New Hanover High, is expected to move into a starting role, and Fullback Bull Davidson, returned to practices last after a slight wecho case of polio, may see action to- morrow.

He had been used in only two games this year--and then only when GW was hopelessly beaten. but he was moved up to a starting job tonight, and performed so brilliantly that the Colonials had a 33-0 lead at halftime.

It was beginning to be embarrasing, so fourth stringer Baumgartner was brought back to his well worn spot on the GW bench for the entire second half. But Baumgartner had done enough work for one night. He scored George Washington's first touchdown, neatly a faking a handoff and then racing around his own left end six yards for the touchdown.
