If the Duke-CIemson grid pattern holds up as it has in the last three meetings of the clubs well the winner of game will go a-bowling on New Day In 1957Duke heat Clemson 7-6 and played in the Orange Bowl In 1959 Clemson blanked Duke 6-0 and went to the Bluebonnet Bowl And last year Duke whipped the Tigers 21-6 and ended up in the Cotton Bowl So this could be an important contest this afternoon CENTURY CLUB Both Frank Howard of Clemson and Bill Murray of Duke are members of the exclusive Century Club which means that during their careers as head coaches their teams have won in excess of 100 games As of today record is 122 wins 77 losses and 10 ties mark is 115 wins 50 setbacks and 9 ties Howard has been a head coach for 22 years Murray for 19 There are only nine other active coaches at major institutions in this elite group Jess Neely of Rice Eddie Anderson of Holy Cross Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma Bobby Dodd of Tech Bear Bryant of Alabama Johnny Vaught of Mississippi Jordan Olivar of Yale Andy Gustafson of Miami and Ben Schwartzwalder of Syracuse A PUNTER IS BORN The story of how Eddie Werntz emerged as one of the top punters in the ACC is an interesting one Eddie entered Clemson three years ago on his own because he induce a grid scholarship Last year after fall practice had started an alumnus of Savannah the hometown of Werntz wrote to Coach Howard and suggested that he take a look at the youngster a pretty good kicker and I see where you are lacking in that the alumnus wrote Howard called in the lad took one quick look and put him in uniform Eddie made his kicking debut in first game last year and held the job ever since At the moment his season average is 419 (923 yards on 22 kicks) good enough for top place in the ACC and near the top in the nation got another year of eligibility too And just for the record Eddie now is in school on a football scholarship Randy Clark of Durham also is his way through college A TO Wake Forest is a to the Clemson Tigers on their home soil Only three times in 20 seasons have the Tigers lost two straight home games and in each instance the -Deacons-wexe involved In 1943 Presbyterian College and Wake Forest beat Clemson at home on successive weekends In 1949 Boston College and Wake pulled the same stunt and this year the Deacons won at Death Valley the week after Clem son had lost to Maryland Nicknames are as much a part of a football team as the players themselves in many cases And so it is with Clemson The Tigers call their first unit the the second team the the third team the and the fourth unit the The are supposed to hold their foes at bay of course while the like to over the opposition especially through the airways As for the this team was so named after the third string quarterback Black And the fourth unit drew its name for the simple reason it usually travels to away games via stationwagon not by plane with the first three teams In fact the came to Durham by car this weekend and will go back the same They probably have more fun than the regulars PERSONAL Mrs Bill Murray the wife of head coach was unable to attend this week's ladies night program of the Durham Blue Devil Club because she had previously made plans to attend a PTA meeting Pinch-hitting for her was her lovely daughter Doug Kistler one of cage stars last season is trying out with the York Knickerbockers after being dropped bv the Detroit Pistons He wanted a clause in his contract with the Pistons but couldn't get it so he decided to take a shot with the Knicks Billy Hildebrand Wake Forest grid boss has named his new son Paul Victor The new addi tion is named after Paul Amen the former Wake grid mentor Hildebrand said Victor is a family name but many followers feel it could have come from since the new son was born the day the Deacons upset Clemson last Saturday Allyn Hildebrand's other son is named for Allyn Me-Keen former Mississippi State football coach WE WONDER! Murray Olderman of NEA who likes to spread rumors which usually end groundless reports that the Tom Nugent-Fran Howard feud is building into proportions with the Maryland mentor spouting off about the Clemson coach chews tobacco and spits and I like and the only fellow in coaching I would say that Olderman quotes Nugent as saying All we have to say is that anyone who doesn't get along with Howard well something is wrong for the Clemson coach is one of the most likeable coaches in the business Am Nugent has more sense than to make a' statement such as the one attributed to him by Olderman See

ties Duke won the first four games of the back Ray Farris The Tarheels rank last in the ACC in passing South Carolina leads the conference in pan defense but is no better than sixth in total offense while the Tarheels rank second in this category South Carolina Coach Marvin Baa has installed what sports-writers have labeled the and he was expected to try it out on the Tarheels today It ia a spread formation designed primarily for passing and quick bursts by the halfbacks "If if clicks against North Carolina going to use it the remainder of the Baa has stated With this added wrinkle in the offense South Carolina took the field today with what could be called a multiple attack because the team will continue to operate part of the more than 83000 in Columbus The colorful Meredith gave them a show Pass after pass was completed by him but a neat line was rushing him hard Finally one of the giant Buckeye forwards was ante to knock one of passes into the air behind the line of scrimmage As it came down Meredith managed to catch it So the play-by-play read passed to Meredith for a nine-yard Statistically Meredith the passer became the dub's worst receiver He was the only one with a net minus yardage against him against the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing and President Bill France of the Daytona International Speedway Flock and Turner sued NASCAR and Franc

featured by Mark 76-yard touchdown gallop Duke put its ACC leadership on the line The Blue Devils are the only unbeaten club in conference and today's contest could go a long way in deciding Duke's fete in its bid to win the title for the second year in a raw Duke went into the game light but most observers rated the battle a toasup time from its established dot back formation What Bass is attempting to do with his varied offense is to break loose his comparatively small halfbacks Runners like Henry Crosby Jack Morris Sammy Anderson and Billy Gambrell are fairly fast they are quite elusive Only thing they been shaken loose very often against South Carolina's first four opponents The "shotgun offense" which tends to spread the defense is designed to give these scatbaclu more running room Bass admits that it is nothing new this new offense for the Gamecocks He picked it up about 10 years ago from the Canadian Football League It has been modified to suit South personnel So
