Eighteen Navy Overturns Startled Columbia, 18 to 7 TAR HEELS WHIP WILDCATS, 6 TO 0 Dashiell's 48-yard Pass in First Quarter Nets Lone Touchdown GATORS BEAT WOLFPACK Wally Brown Sets Pace for Florida Team -Duke Overpowers Davidson Kenan Stadium, Chapel Hill, N. Oct.

20. -When Dick Buck, rangy Tar Heel end, took a pass from Dick Dashiell in the closing seconds of the first quarter this afternoon and raced across the Kentucky goal line for 8 touchdown, the University of North Carolina marked up its winning margin to whip the Wildcats 6 to 0 before 12,000 homecoming day fans. The flip from Dashiell Buck netted a gain of 48 yards, Buck running something like 25 of them after making a marvelous catch of the pigskin while running at nearly full speed to take the ball over his head, Never Stop Fight. Kentucky's Colonels of the Southeastern conference, with Bert "Man o' War" Johnson bearing the brunt of the attack, never relented in their fight to overcome the shim margin of leadership the Heels had but the best they could do was get to the Tar Heel five-yard line on fourth down in the last quarter and see a pass grounded in the end zone. So determined was the Kentucky fight that Carolina rolled up only five first and tens.

three of them in the first half, while Kentucky garnered twice as many, a total of 10. "Man 0' War' Johnson, who did some neat running, led the Kentucky play in every branch the offensive. He ran with the ball 25 of the 39 times a Kentucky back carried it, gaining a net of 63 yards, and did most of the punting and passing for his team. Captain Joe Rupert and big Sheldon Wagner were the outstanding linemen. Beat Wolfpack.

Tampa, Oct. 20 by elusive Wally Brown, 165-pound quarterback, and one of the South's leading scorers, Florida's 'Gators returned to the victory trail after the Tulane detour of last Saturday, and defeated the North Carolina State Wolfpack 14-0 here this afternoon before 12,000 fans. It took consistent plugging at the rugged Wolfpack defense for the 'Gators to gain, but their efforts were rewarded in the second and fourth quarters when the two touchdowns and extra points were It was the dynamic little 'Gator field general who paved the way for opening Florida touchdown midway of the second period. A 'Gator attack had just been repulsed by State on its four -yard line and Farrar, Wolfpack halfback, had to punt from behind his own goal line. He boomed 8 beautiful kick out for 56 yards to Brown, standing on Florida's 40-yard line, Wally Fumbles.

Wally fumbled the ball and as he picked it up he saw interference forming for him. He followed it down the sidelines for 50 yards before he was brought down on State's 10-yard mark. Walter Middlekauf, playing right halfback in place of the injured regular, Jack Deckwith, WAS called on three times try and carry the ball over from the 10, but failed as the Wolfpack defense strengthened. But on fourth down Billy Chase shot a pass over the goal line into Middlekauff's hands and the first touchdown was scored. Stark, tackle, kicked the extra point.

Late in the fourth period, the desperate State team resorted to a passing attack in hopes scoring. One of the heaves by Bailey, substitute halfback, was intercepted by Duke Warren, sub 'Gator fullback, on Florida's 47-yard mark. From there the 'Gators drove 53 yards for their final touchdown. Brown took the ball over from the one yard line on fourth down, then Chase place kicked for the second extra point. Less than a minute later the game ended.

Blue Devils Win. Richardson Field, Davidson, N. C. Oct. 20 (A).

Davidson's traditional fighting spirit was no match today for Duke's superior manpower and the Blue Devils added the fourth victory of their undefeated march. 20 to 0. Although there was little doubt from the opening period when they scored their first touchdown that the Blue Devils could win about as they pleased, the Wildcats put on a grand show for the 6,000 fans who saw the two teams battle under the warm sun of an Indian summer day. Playing a wide open game that made free use of lateral passes, Davidson gained some 250 yards and compiled 14 first downs to Duke's 10. The Blue Devils, however, packed the touchdown punch.

With their first string playing the Wildcats were hopelessly outclassed. After collecting the first two touchdowns, most of the Duke regulars spent the rest of the afternoon on bench while the reserves scrapped the Wildcats on better than even terms. Bridgewater Uses Passes To Defeat Gallaudet, 8 To 0 Harrisonburg, Oct. 20 (P) ---A sturdy defense and two riflelike passes from the arm of Quarteback Williams today gave Bridgewater College an 8 to 0 victory over Gallaudet College, of Washington, the same margin by which the Eagles won at Washington a year ago. Poor punting gave Bridgewater the advantage in the opening period, Williams shot two passes to Brown and Beazley and then Benny Huffman plunged over for the lone touchdown of the game.

The safety was registered in the second quarter when Tucker, attempting to kick from behind his goal line, was downed by a surge of Bridgewater players. Bridgewater threatened in the last half, advancing to the 10-yard line on two occasions. A fumble and an intercepted pass halted the marches, however. The Eagles, paced by Williams and Beazley gained easily but lacked scoring punch when needed. Gallaudet went to the air in the second half and tried pass after pass, but to no avail.

Minnesota's triumph was given added importance in the determination of a national champion by reason of Pittsburgh's 20-6 win over Southern California here last Saturday.

For the second time in two consecutive years, Dr. Jock Sutherland's doughty crew was forced to bow to the superior strength of Coach Bernie Bierman's Gophers.

For Hampden-Sydney, lefthalf Dotson and righthalf Formwalt were the mainstays on the offense. Twice Formwalt almost got loose in the second half for long runs. In the closing minutes Delaware worked the ball to the ten -yard line on what seemed like a scoring drive but the southerners turned back the threat.

In the first quarter Delaware's varsity lefthalf, Crowe, who acted safety man, committed two costly errors in vital spots, He was replaced in the next period by Mayer whose individual ball carrying dashes gave the Tigers plenty of trouble for the rest of the game. Unable to gain through the line, Delaware resorted to a bewildering forward pass attack in the second period and worked the ball inside the southerners' 20-yard line but were stopped there. the closing minutes of the game Delaware drove through again, reaching Hampden Sydney's eight yard mark, but again the visitors held and took the ball on downs. Hampden-Sydney registered only two first downs, both in the second half while Delaware piled up eight. The Delawareans lacked the punch however to complete their advances with scoring drives.

Stopped cold by the Notre Dame call, Steve Terebus dropped back and arched a high pass to Lib Lewis, who seemed certain of catching it on the goal line when Pilney rushed in like a streak and batted the ball to the ground.
