Page Five Wake Forest Ekes Out Carolina, 14-13 POlf with Irwin SmaUwood IT HAPPENED AGAIN: The opponent was outplayed, the Tar Heels lost, this time to the Demon Deacons from Wake For est. But one point was made clear in the bitter struggle on the turf of Kenan stadium Saturday, that Coach Carl Snavely's eleven will be no pushover for Duke this week-end. On the contrary, judging from the performance Saturday, Carolina should provide a constant threat to the highly-touted Dukesters and the chances for beating the arch rivals from Durham way looked better than they have in some time. Wake Forest was almost an equal match for Coach Eddie Cameron's (or should we say Col. Wallace Wade's) charges when they had George Clark, Bear Knotts and Jim Larue. These three spark plugs of the Duke eleven are gone, though, and that puts Wake Forest on a higher level than the Blue Devils as far as most observers are concerned. However, the game will by no means be under Tar Heel control. ' In fact, on paper Carolina will be the decided underdog. Carolina out-fought the Deacons, and in view of that should be almost an even match for the Blue Devils. The only thing left to do is to wait, but one thing is assured already, the Tar Heels will be in there fighting, as they have shown they could against Tennessee, Georgia Tech and now Wake Forest, and the Dukesters are far from having the annual classic in the bag. And Snavely will be there with all his tricks, with his footballers keyed high. ' There is one more thing that will figure in the tussle with Duke Saturday and that is this point of school spirit, and as Athletic Director "Coach Bob" Fetzer brough out at the pep meeting Friday, many times "this thing called spirit can tell the tale. I remember one time back When the old professor Kay Kyser was here," Coach Bob continued. "There was one game that it looked impossible for us to win, for the spirit was at a low level. But old Kay got out and got the students aroused, and that as much as anything was responsible for our. victory." With that in mind, we should begin now to start things rolling. Let the boys know you are behind them, and with your confidence, they will go a lot further toward beating the Blue Devil into defeat come Saturday afternoon. SIDELINE NOTES: This boy Chunk Simmons, who played his high school ball for Central in 1941-42, is going to be a "great back as soon as he is able to work into our system," King Carl Snavely opined after the Deacon tilt Saturday . . . Another relatively new man in the lineup, Bob Kennedy, made quite an impression on the fans, as did little Merl Norcross, who played well till he was injured. Paul Rizzo, No. 1 blocking back, had a tough break too, getting his bad ankle hit while going for a pass early in the game, , His loss was felt before the day was over . . . Peahead Walker, Wake Forest mentor, was none too pleased with the Snavely punt formation shift. "This shift is illegal," he said, "it hurt us four times today. It is against both the rules and the spirit of the game." ... It was a good catch Max Cook made of Warren's pass for a touchdown. Two Deacs touched it before it settled in Cook's arms ... Jim Lalanne, lieutenant in the Navy, was around for the game Saturday. ... Billy Kelly, who coaches the .Camp Lejeune swimmers, was here too, as was Joe Murnick, former boxing coach, who is now an athletic specialist at Norfolk. . . . Chuck Erickson, who was back field coach under Jim Tatum, and who coached for several years before that, is back around the Hill. : Tar ' Heels Point For Duke Engagement Snavely men Hope To Upset Duke Devils Carolina Due To Win This Week-End Blue Dolphins Face Tough Slate Of Foes This Season Army, Navy, Ohio State on Schedule. Coach Willis Casey's Blue Dol phins will launch their 1945-46 sea son on December 7 against the Camp Lejeune mermen in the Bowman Gray Memorial Pool. The Leathernecks are coached by Billy Kelly, stalwart swimmer for Carolina last season and from re ports the Marines have a host of outstanding swimmers. Kelly, who has recently been commissioned a lieutenant, held about every Ameri can record in the breaststroke while at Carolina. Hampered by the recent fire that damaged the swimming pool, Coach Casey's tankmen have resumed work outs after being idle a week. Strong Opposition The Blue Dolphins, who were ranked the number one team in the country last year will - face a tough slate of meets this season which in cludes engagements with Army, Navy, Ohio State, Cornell, Georgia Tech, Duke and N. C. State. With one of the hardest schedules in recent -years, Coach Casey is push ing drills in order to get his veteran tanksters in good condition and the squad is shaping up to suit the youthful mentor. Several Vets Back Strengthened with the returning of several of last year's swimmers, the Blue Dolphins will be gunning for their third consecutive season with out a defeat. Pacing the pre-season workouts are Dick Twining, sensational sprinter on the 1945 sauad: Co-Captain Ben Ward, star freestyler; Ed Shumate, member of the 1942 tank squad and ex-Air Corps officer, has been look ing good in all three departments, freestyle, breaststroke and back stroke; Co-Captain Snooky Proctor, middle distance and backstroke; Bo Jenkins, one . of the leaders of this summer's Blue Dolphin outfit in the backstroke and' middle distance events; Mike Morrow, back from last year's team and will aid the tankmen in the distance race; Dick b wager, is the leading candidate for the div ing post.

Married women would do well to see that hubby'sc socks are always mended for him when the time comes to ask for a new Silver Fox he may say, "If you don't give a darn, I don't give a wrap." The Mississippian. By Eddie Allen As one Carolinian said to another, "It's a long way between victories," and when North Carolina's strong young Tar Heels take on Duke at Dur ham Saturday they will be seeking their first win over Duke since Badin's Joe Austin gathered in the pass which spelled a 6-3 triumph in 1940. ....... Since then evil days have befallen the Tar Heels in their annual season's highlight battle. In 1941 it was the Rose Bowl Dukes and Steve Lach sweeping to a 20-0 margin. A year later there came a 13-13 tie, but still no victory rathei than that of a moral nature. In 1943, horrible year, the mighty Devils racked up two wins, 14 to 7 and 27-6, and last season they ran away with their most one-sided triumph of all, 33-0. The form books this time give Carl Snavely's youngesters no chance of victory, but this is one game that is definitely played on a football field and not paper. Indeed, if fate is to take a hand in the proceedings, it would have seemed to have cast already a fore shadowing omen. Beginning with their season's open er against Camp Lee, the Tar Heels have alternately won and lost every game, thus bringing their record to date even at four and four. It is signi ficant that last week they lost a 14-13 heartbreaker to Wake Forest, thus making this a winning week if the un usual pattern of their records holds true. Coach Snavely reports that his youngsters should be in good shape for their climactic tussle, and the work shown by a quartet of tailback per formers Tom Gorman, Bob Warren, Merl Norcross, and Chunk Simmions against Wake Forest, theyxan be ex pected to show a little more potent offensive punch, to date a bit too absent. The line, too, should be in top shape for battle against Duke's well oiled attack, which previously has gone down only to unbeaten Army and Navy. . BEAT DUKE!

Time trials were held in the short and middle dis tances as well as in the hurdles, broad jump, and shot-put.

The Stratford Traveler. 1 Warren, Cooke Score Local Touchdowns Tar Heels Outplay Deacons But Lose By Irwin SmaUwood Before a crowd of 20,000 cheering fans the Carolina Tar Heels dropped a heartbreaker to a smart, but outplayed, Wake Forest eleven -in Kenan stadium Saturday by the one-point mar gin of 13-14. Coach Peahead Walker's Demon - Deacons from the Baptist institution down the road a piece, fought with slight upper hand in the opening quarter, and their offensiveness paid off with 12 minutes and 40 seconds jone, when Nick Sacrinty plunged over rom the one-foot line after a sus tained drive of 42 yards. Deacons Score The Deacs got the ball on the Caro lina 42 when a bad punt went out of bounds. The touchdown drive was almost solely a Sacrinty job, Nick passing to Bo for 12 yards and a first down to get things started. After another aerial failed, Nick raced 11 yards on foot for another first down, following this by a pass to Ognovich for a first down on the Tar Heel one foot line. Nick Sacrinty went over from there for the score, and Bo Sa crinty booted the all-important extra point. Just before the first half ended Tom Gorman, big offensive punch on two threatening but unsuccessful drives, fell on a fumble by Wake Forest's Rock Brinkley on the Deacon 30. A short pass to Bob Cox and a run by Bill Kennedy netted a first down, and Kennedy personally made another in two line plays, giving the Tar Heels the ball on the Wake Forest nine, first and goal. A time out pushed the Carolina lads back five yards, and three pass at tempts and a running play failed to gain an inch and the Deacons got pos session of the ball in time to run three plays before the half time intermission. On the third play, big Tar Heel tackle Stan Marczyk recovered a Deacon fumble, but there was no time left for Carolina to do any good. Tar Heels Roll Immediately after the second half got underway, the Tar Heel offensive machine began to roll, and before three minutes had passed, the Carolina lads were on the Wake Forest six with a first down. The drive started on the Carolina 49, with a 13-yard pass from Gorman to Meade, runs by Voris and Gorman, and a final 16-yard aerial from Gorman to Cox netting the yard age. Gorman tried a fake pass play and gained a yard, but three successive pass attempts failed and Wake Forest took over on its own six, putting up a successful goal line stand for the sec ond time within 10 minutes of playing time.
