Duke Blue Devils Swamp
Virginia With 32-0 Score
Entire Duke Team
Functions
Perfectly During Game in
Home Stadium.
THOMAS IS VIRGINIA STAR
Special to The Daily Tar Heel
Duke Stadium, Durham, Oct.
4. Duke University's Blue Dev
ils smothered the University of
Virginia here this afternoon by
the, score 32-0 for the biggest
upset of the day on the grid.
The whole Duke team clicked on
every play, running beautiful
interference on the offense, and
smothering every effort of the
Cavaliers.
Bill . Thomas, halfback for
Virginia, was without doubt the
outstanding star of the game,
both in advancing the ball and
stopping "Duke backs under the
shadow of his own goal. The
Cavalier halfback got loose from
scrimmage once for a run of 58
yards, placing the ball on Duke's
17-yard line, but four thrusts at
the line failed to net a first down
and Duke took the ball. He ran
back punts for considerable
yardage several times v with a
minimum of interference.
Selecting individual stars for
the Duke eleven would be a dif
ficult task for the starting line
up on down to the last substitute
clicked smoothly and did his
part.
Duke Kicks Off
Virginia won the toss up and
elected to receive. Bill Thomas
took the ball and brought it out
to the 35-yard line. The Cava

lier offense worked smoothly on
a drive up the field, Jbut lost the
ball on the 20-yard line by
fumbling,.
Duke took the ball and started
a drive down the field which was
only the beginning of the mas
sacre which followed. A series
of plays, Warner reverses off
tackle, fullback through the line,
and end runs, placed the ball on
Virginia's 15-yard line. Bill
Murray took the ball, ran wide
around left end and- stepped over
the goal line just inside the edge
of the line. "Kid" Brewer hit
the line for the three yards 'and
the extra point. The score was
Duke 7, Virginia 0.
Virginia received the ball
again but was unable to rnake
any substantial gains and kicked
out to Murray, who was playing
safety for Duke. A stiff battle
continued for the rest of the
period with the ball deep in Vir
ginia's territory. Duke missed
a touchdown by inches just as
the first period ended. '
On the first play of the sec
onji quarter the Blue Devils
made it 13-0. Neither team was
unable to advance the ball for
another score during the rest of
the first half, and the second
period ended with the score 13-0
in favor of Duke.

Maryland University Will Ceme
Here To 3Ieet Carolina
- For 12th Til
The University of f North
Carolina football squad stays at
home this week to meet an an
cient rival. The Tar Heels and
the Old Liners of Maryland
have been meeting on the grid
iron at interrals over a 31
year period, and Saturady will
mark their 12th renewal of an
argument that started in 1899.
North Carolina won that
game in 1899 by 6-0. There was
no renewal of the series until
the fall of 1920, when Maryland
won a 13 3to 0 victory. Each
year since has brought another
of the "dog 'fall" battles, all
close and hard fought, with the
margin of victory small, except
for last v year, when Carolina's
star backs won 43-0. .
The entire series show the
Tar Heels leading in games won
and lost by 7-4. Carolina has
woii its-three game margin in
the last three years, while Mary
land has been upsetting all dope
and tying Yale's Bulldogs regu
larly, 13-13 last year, after tak
ing a 43-0 drubbing from the
Tar Heels.
. Carolina won by 7-6 in 1927.
The Tar Heels jumped into an
early lead then the heavens
opened and "deluged the field,
and Billy Ferrell's great punt
ing preserved the narrow mar
gin. Ward, Magner, . and the
other star backs led Carolina to
a 26-19 triumph the next year,
and these same backs ran the
margin up to 43-0 last year.
y Maryland won a 14-6 decision
in 1926 in the face of a brilliant
93-yard touchdown return by
Gus McPherson, Carolina s
sprint ace. Sides and Jenkins,
Carolina reserves, rose to vic
tory to lead the Tar Heel "mud
horses" to a 16-0 victory in 1925,
and before that it was a nip and
tuck series of close games with
the tide of victory shitfing al
most every year.
The approching contest bears"
all the pre-game earmarks of
another epic struggle. Mary
land showed tremendous -offensive
power in an opening 60-0
win over Washington College.
Chapel Hill Wins
From Hillsboro 13-7
The Chapel Hill High School
football team won the second
game played this year when
Hillsboro high was defeated by

came in the first - and fourth
quarters as .the results of passes
from Dashiell to King. Dashfield
made the two touchdowns.
Hillsboro was on the defen
sive throughout the game, the
ball being in their territory
practically the whole game.

to gain at will.
