mMi P'. .'iiv-. So the sncre was 6 to 6, And that is the way the first quarter ended. Early ill the ficcond period the Demon Deacons got busy and chalked up a second touchdown to go .lute the ].ead by the count of 13 to 6, Hovrovcr, the Blue Devils came roaring back to kiirt tne count before the first half had ended. Beginning the second half vdth the score tiod^at^'d,^ all, the third pcricd was a rather dull affair. Finally, in the four- ySo once again the flashy George Clark took the ball, kniied his vjay through left tackle, , and scooted down the sidelines ^or 58 yards and another touchdown. Duke v/as no’V out in front tune of 20 to 13. Still the game was not over for the \Wake Foresters, Once more the Deacons went into action and :halked up for themselves one more touchdown. The try for the extra point failed and Duke was still leading by a 20 to 19 score. In the closing minutes of the game the Wake Forest ^Deacons took to the air in a desperate attempt to snatch the ^ame out of the fire. But' this Deacon passing attack back~ ^?ed with the result another Duke score. The game ended vdth Duke on the long end of 26 to 19 score. Our Alma Mater, the University of North Carolina, hooked up with a strong University of Pennsylvania team in Philadel phia on the same afternoon that Duke'and Wake Forest were play ing, The results were not very gratifying to Carolina men. We have been tau^t that the word Philadelphia means brotherly love., Vio are now convinced that Philadelphia is a city without pity. The Tar Heels wore snow.ed under by the score of 49 to 0, The Quaker lads v/ere tossing passes like Hal NewhoUser throws base-balls,’ And those heaves were finding their piarks, ThC; Car olina cause Was simply hopeless, Let*s think about something else. Right now it seems- that the tv;o most powerful teams in the country are the Navy and the Army elevens. In its last game to date the Midshipmen defeated a rugged Penn State team by the score of 28 to 0, Vi/hile the Army has just whipped the Michigan Vfolverines 28 to 7 in a hard fought game. We trust that this vdll give our readers some idea, at least, of the football situation here in the middle of October, 19A5* We are sure that it vdll be,interesting to observe just ^vhat will take place from here on out, . , . Well, De-"r Readers, tjiis feeble effort on our part to give you a smattering know ledge. of what is happening in the world of sports vdll be our swan song. We really have enjcjyed it . very much indeed. If the reading of these very aiwkwardly composed articles from month to month has been of some slight intej?est to you tibo are in service, are, very happy. Again, it has been a genuine pleasure. So long, Hope to see you ..soon# ■ . Mr ■ PRaiOTIONS Marion (Dutch) Eskridge, son of Mr, and lira, Grover Eskrid^ has been promoted to Cox swain. He is with the Pacific Fleet and recently his ship-touched at Hiroshima and Nagasaki - he says those cities were really a wasteland and that the natives- surely gave the'Gobs the onceover , Jim Blanton, son of Mr, and Mrs, Jin Blanton has'beon promoted from Private First Class to'T/5, Look for Jini’s little girl, Linda, on cover page - she*s a darling and wc 'Imow she’s proud of her Daddy, A woman’will v'fekr' a golf outfit when she can’t play and a bathing suit when she can't fnvim,. but w):ien, she puts on a v/edding dross she means business. It^must be that sailors are a happy lot. They are always whistling.
