Deacons To Entertain Furman In New Stadium Saturday Wakes To Be Wary Of Purple Hurricane Pruitt Is Expected To Continue His Sensational Play PRAISES DEACONS Furman Lists Several "Seat Backs" of Unusual Calibre ? Wake Forest?It was a great vie- i tory (or the Deacons of Wake Forest over North Carolina (12-0) last week , and while the Baptist squad is still elated over the triumph, the Dea cons have pushed all else from their minds except their coming engage ment Saturday afternoon here in the new Groves Stadium with Fur man's powerful Purple Hurricane. It will be the first game to be play ed in the new stadium. Wake scouts who saw the Hurri canes in their 40-0 victory over Er skine last week had plenty to say about the broken field antics of Captain Pepper Martin and Soph Ralph Hamer. These two boys ac counted for five touchdowns on long runs of 27 yards or better. Martin, 145 pound senior from Fair Forest, S. C-, had never played foot ball until entering Furman, but a powerful pair of rabbit-like legs, a burning desire to play and three years of hard work have moved him into the Southern Conference spot light along with Lalanne, Polanski, Bill Lanfr, Coach Ray Wolf's capable assistant at the I'nivrr sity of North Carolina, praised the Demon Deacons on their contest with the Tars Heels last week-end. Lanfe is the Tar Heel backfield coach. Wes McAfee and others Against Er skine he clipped off touchdown jaunts of 72 and SI yards and had an 85 yard sprint called back.

Only two sports writers pick ed Wake Forest over Carolina? and both were graduates of the Baptist institution. The llmb climbers were John Marshall, of the Raleigh Times and Eddie Briets, AP columnist. Carolina's famous Johnny Branch of a few years ago. Martin vs. Gallovieh should be great battle Saturday. Other Furman backs who rate special praise are Ralph Hamer, an - utiler scat buck; Dewey Proctor, 18b pound successor to Rotcn Shetley at fullback; Bob Fitzer, senior half back, and Jim Braziel, who does a great amount of the kicking from the left halfback post. Cbach Peahead Walker, of Wake Forest, has warned his boys against any overconfidence in the coming Saturday game. The Deacons point ed to and conquered the Tar Heels, while the Hurricanes have pointed to their meeting with the Deacons. Tar Heels Will Try To Tame Wildcats The North Carolina Tar Heels will take on their second Southern Conference and Big Five foe in as many weeks on Saturday afternoon when they meet Davidson's Wild cats. According to all views, Coach Buy Wolf's Tar Heels should might a fine comback against the Wildcats end at the hands of Wake Forest. The squad is expected to be in good shape, while at Davidson, Coach Gene McEver is still unable to say definite whether his star back, Gran ny Sharpe, will be able to play. Jim "Sweet" Lalanne, his passing way below par this season, is expect ed to get back "in the groove" Satur day, while Paul Severin, Carolina's A1-American end, will be in there to stop Davidson's attack and offer a fancy display of pass-snagging Duke Ami Tennessee Take The Spotlight In the national football spotlight this week-end will be the battle be tween Duke University and Tennes see at Knoxville, Tenn., Saturday af ternoon. Duke is reported to have its best squad in a number of years and is gunning for the national champion ship. With Steve Lach, Frank Kil lian, Wes McAfee, Siegfriend and many others to carry the mail, it is not as impossible as one may think. But, out at Knoxville complica tions arise. Coach Bob Neyland's Volunteers are unusually hard to beat in their own backyard, not to say anything about the power of their attack. Led by Butler and Foxx they also present a formidable of fense, and their forward wall is studded with an Ail-American guard and any number of stars. Beyond a doubt, the eyes Of the nation's football fans will center on this battle and the winner will have made a decided jump toward, the best team in the nation. fc.

When the two teams were organized, a general survey of Eastern North Carolina and Vir ginia was made, and only three cit ies were booked. Fans who turn out for the classic will be kept informed as to the progress of the world's series game Our Week-end Selections The ?biggest mistake last week- J end. made by almost everyone in-' eluding yours truly, was the Wake Forest decision over North Carolina, although Boston College comes in for its share of glory by giving the highly touted Tulane Green Wave a sound drubbing.

State, the surprise team of the Southern Conference, has a per feet set-up to spring the greatest surprise of the week when they meet Clemson's favored Tigers tomorrow afternoon. Pre season ratings placed State as having only a mediocre outfit with many untried players in its lineup. However, after a win over William and Mary and a complete rout of Davidson, dopesters have changed their opinion. Clemson is one of the powers of the conference and in meeting the Wolves, a real test will be in the offing ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE Having qualified as the Adminis trator C.
