Major Bob Neyland's fighting Vol unteers, probably the most powerful team he has ever produced, had Duke at its mercy throughout the game. In the second period Tennessee turned on full steam and scored its points. winning It was the passing, running and kicking of Bob Foxx which helped to lower Wallace Wade's Blue Devils ta their knees. The kicking of Buist Warren kept Duke m its own terri tory most of the time and the rest vF V trT a i t i r or the Vols resisted every Duke of- r,,: j fensive drive. Foxx, , a senior who is "fast and fierce," accounted for the 13 points al most single-handedly. The first score five minutes after the second period opened climaxed a 63-yard drive dur ing which Foxx passed to Jim Cole- man, end, and Al Hust, another end. for almost the entire length of the field. Foxx also kicked the extra point. " Near the close of the same period JKoxx again made good in his own home town and went over for a touch- down. Duke was on its own 26 and Frank Killian stepped back to kick, Mike Balitaris, an end, blocked the kick and Hodges West recovered for At -4 S 1 v.l xeime on me lu-yara string, it . vv vxixW lunges j.o score.

Otway Brown Proprietors Vols' 20 M 13-0 Loss s - l'" Meyer Believes In Years, Predicts Fine Season Coach Counts On Soph Dean Bagley For Quarterbacking FORT WORTH, Oct. 4. Football experts throughout the Southwest are daily becoming more encouraged about the chances of Texas Christian in the gridiron dogfight now under way, and Coach Dutch Meyer, head man at the Horned Frog camp, who ought to know, is daily becoming more en couraged than any other. "We are definitely going to be much stronger than last season," Coach Meyer reports. "We have never thought we would have a top flight team, and we don't think so now. iJut unless all signs fail, we are due to upset the dopesters in a spot or two before the season is end ed! "We are showing more power on the ground than any Frog team has displayed in years. Our passing is up to par. Punting will be good, though not sensational. Defense needs strengthening, but it is im proving from day to day." Kyle Gillespie, the only man who could make the '39 team click, has been given up for most of the season. His bad knee, reinjured in practice scrimmage, is not coming around very fast. He has not even been in uni form for a week. ' But Coach Meyer has a deep-seated Fans, Surprised at Half Finally Pull Through, Led by Pecora and O'Hare By H. DeWitt Hollingsworth BOWMAN GRAY MEMORIAL STADIUM, Winston-Salem, Oct. 5 It's half-time and the Carolina and Davidson bands are on the field while Rav Wolf is telling the Tar . Heels what they've been doing wrong in the first half. ..... No oneeven the staunchest David son rooter, would have believed the score of the game would be 7-7 at half- time and not a Carolina , supporter would have thought : Davidson' would score in this game. But it has and now. to win, the Tar Heels must im prove. Bands Swing Out , ; .. Carolina has played the Davidson song and the Davidson, band is finish ing, up on "Hark the .Sound" with a unique figure. The sponsors have been presented to the crowd, wnich num bers possibly 10,000. The stadium, which is situated some distance from own, is constructed something on the order of Kenan except for a quarter mile track running around the play ing field, and the stadium can be con verted into a horseshoe much more easily than Kenan. It has been built in a natural bowl, something like the Carolina field, but cannot seat as many spectators. Here comes the Tar Heels back on he field to start the third quarter and we hope to, see a much different team than we have seen in the past two games, or in the first half of this game. ar Heels Win And there's the gun for. the end of he game. The Tar JHeels have won their second game of the year. But in winning, Coach .Wolf's boys looked far j M 7 I r PINHOLES OF LIGHT for the Tar Heels were Frank O'Hare, left, and Johnny Pecora, tailbacks who i ... led the Carolina offense. i TCU Strongest S- liking for the little man who can go; and is more, than satisfied with the manner in which Dean Bagley, sopho more mite from San Saba, has taken over the No. 1 quarterbacking job. "Wait until the fans see him go,: Coach Meyer comments. "I won't have to talk then; they'll do the raving about Bagley." Injuries, switches in positions and promotions from the second and third elevens have led to numerous changes in the personnel of the "A" and "B" teams since practice started Sept. 5. As rated right now by Coach Meyer the first two elevens, with weights are made up as follows: ' "A" team le, Connie Sparks, J.95; It, Derrell Palmer, 220; Ig, Bill Craw ford, 200; c, Capt, Clarence Alexan der, 195; rg, Bobby Sherrod, 198; rt, Ennis Kerlee, 213; re, Phil Roach, 190; q, Dean Bagley, 155; lh, Nolan Sparks, 200; rh, Logan Ware, 179; f, Frank Knng, 195.

Little Tailback Johnny Pecora sparked Carolina to its tie-breaking score three plays after the second half opened when he stepped off right, tackle for 21 yards and. his second touchdown of the year, Pecora and Frank O'Hare were the only offensive threats of the Tar Heels today, for between them they . rolled most of Carolina's yardage from scrim mage. Pecora was just i about un stopable every time he! tucked : the ball in his arm. O'Hare spent most of the afternoon in the Wildcats' back field and tossed several aerials for good gains. j . ". Johnny Frederick and Dave Spencer paced the Cats. Spencer's touchdown trip on his punt return will no doubt go down in the books as one of the best punt returns in the state this season. . Down Goes Duke. . When the Duke-Tennessee score, which was 13-0 at the. half, was an nounced over the public address sys tem, the Carolina and Davidson stu dent bodies let out . with a wild cheer. But little could be told from that, for when the first quarter 0-0 score was announced the same thing happened. Bill Sigler offered some fine kick ing during the game. He punted once for 71 yards and then followed it up with a kickoff . into the end zone. When he kicked the extra point after the last touchdown, the ball settled up on a bank 20. yards behind the. uprights. The referee had to call upon a spec tator to toss the ball back into the playing field. - f - What Ray Wolf told the Tar Heels in the locker room between halves must have been good for Carolina' Continued on page 4, column S) UNC Muffs To Score-In Lalanne, Benched, Watches Pecora, O'Hare Perform (Continued from first page) bench throughout most of the game, and in his short -time at the tailback spot didn't figure once in a running play. Sweet James passed several times, but Bill Sigler, sophomore full back, did all of the ball-carrying when Lalanne was calling running plays. Changing Positions Lalanne, Sid Sadoff and Don Baker all three considered first team back field material rested most of the afternoon while Coach Wolf tried out his versatile sophomores. Harry Dunkle stayed at blocking back most of the game, except for a brief time when Dave Barksdale took his place. Joe Austin started at wingback and was followed by Tony Remy and Baker. Mike Cooke opened at full back, to be succeeded first by Bill Sigler and then by Austin, who was shifted about the entire afternoon. Pecora and O'Hare called signals. The continuous shifting' in the line may have shown that Wolf is seeking more than just reserve material. Al most everyone who at the beginning of the season was conceded a chance of doing the club any good was played even for a few minutes, and it seemed that Wolf is now looking for a com bination that he can depend on to click alertly, smoothly and con sistently. ? Something Missing Something is still missing from the Tar Heel line-up, whether it be talent or even that well-known "will-to- win." A 1940 performance such as those turned in against Appalachian, Wake Forest or Davidson would not put the Tar Heels far in a contest with Texas Christian, their opponent of next Saturday. Davidson's touchdown can be con sidered as a great mistake, or one of those things that isn't supposed to happen. When 140-pound Dave Spencer returned a punt 42 yards through the whole Carolina team early in the Derringer Wins For Cincinnati, Tying Score 2-2 DETROIT, Oct. 5. It was all big Paul Derringer yesterday, as the vet eran Cincinnati pitcher handcuffed Detroit's big guns with five hits to even the World Series at two games apiece. Derringer had tried unsuccessfully five times to win a Series game prior to today's game, and his teammates were behind him all the way in his quest for victory. . Banging out 11 hits at the expense of three Detroit pitchers, the Reds left the final out come in little doubt. Werber pried off the lid in the first inning by drawing a walk from Dizzy Trout and was quickly moved around by Ival Goodman's long dou ble. : Then it was up ' to Jimmy Ripple to score Goodman with a hot grounder that went through Pinky Higgins for an error. - - y From there on, the Reds were never headed and although the Timers threatened in the second and scored m the third and the sixth, Derrin ger was master - of . the situation hroughout.

Bob Johnson, guard, was sent into ac tion immediately with a special toe apparatus to kick the extra-point. Bungle Two . Carolina missed two scoring oppor tunities in the first quarter, one of these being Pecora's long run that was called back. With O'Hare working in Pecora's place later in the period, the Tar Heels worked down to the David son 7, where the Wildcats recovered a fumble and took possession on their own 5. Davidson punted out of that hole, and after several exchanges, Spencer made his lone touchdown dash. - By the time Carolina got in the ball game, the second period was halfway gone, and Wolf had substituted a first team of Severin, Sieck, Nowell, Sun theimer, Marshall, Kimball, Richard son, O'Hare, Dunkle, Austin and Sadoff. Then the Tar Heels made three first downs in a row. O'Hare rrade seven yards off right tackle and passed to Austin for 12 to the David son 21. O'Hare made six yards in two tries, and Severin made four and a second first down on an end-around. O'Hare made 10 yards, just short of the goal-line, and made a score on the next try at the line.
