The annual Little Brown Jug struggle, witnessed by a record I Duke Triumphs Over VPI, 7-0, In Rough Battle crowd of 63,237 fans at Minne apolis, highlighted the most in teresting card of the season in which at least one hair-raising struggle developed in every sec tion of the nation. Michigan, which went into to day's game with a string of 18 straight victories and a 14-point spread in the bookie's quotations, got more than it bargained for from the Golden Gophers. Min nesota looked like it was ready to spring the upset of the year when it scored early in the second period, allowed the Wolverines two quick second period tallies, then barged in front, 14-13, short ly after the half. Ortmann. The victory practically assured Michigan its second straight Big Nine championship and proba bly ruined Minnesota's chances of a trip to the Rose Bowl. Mighty Notre Dame also was presented with a man-sized scare by Iowa's Hawkeyes before charg ing to its 23rd straight victory, 27-12. Iowa threw a good aerial game at the Irish and trailed only 13-6 at halftime. But Notre Dame's superiority in the line finally halted Iowa in the second half and the Irish pulled away on a 39-yard touchdown romp by John Panelli and a 35-yard scoring gallop by Larry Coutre.

'Football' Injury For the strangest "football" injury of the week, you should hear the story of pre-nied stu dent Harrison Barbee of Greensboro. E-rbee was crossing Navy field on his way to the stadium nbout 1:30 yesterday and walk ed directly under one of the field's goal posts. The cross bar chose just that moment to slip from its fastenings and crack the innocent football fan on the head. Dr. W. G. Morgan of the in firmary staff patched up Bar bee's scalp wounds and sent the injured spectator back to watch the remainder of the ball game. - ROANOKE, Va, Oct. 23 (UP) Unbeaten Duke, rocked all aft ernoon by slashing Virginia Tech defensive play, shook Wingback Tommy Hughes loose for a 45 yard touchdown run today to eke out a breathless 7-0 win over the definite underdogs. Some 12,700 partisan fans pray ed for an upset but Duke clung to its slim lead and Virginia Tech wound up its fifth game of the season without once crossing an enemy goal line. Duke's varsity backfield was largely bench-ridden with in juries today and the offense lack ed luster as it butted against stubborn Virginia Tech. The standout performance of the day was done by the VPI line, determined to turn back the unbeaten but twice-tied Blue Devils. The lone score came from far out and ran true to Duke form. In the second period, Tech Back Bob Gilley fumbled on an attempted punt and Duke took over on its own 43. Tailback Fred Folger, Jr., still recovering from injuries, tossed to Hughes on the Tech 45 for a first down. On the next play, Hughes flashed toward the right sideline without interference, vaulted a pileup at the line of scrimmage and then wriggled all the way in to the end zone. End Mike Souchak kicked the extra point. Tech's line, led by 225-pound tackle Tim Lawler, stopped most of the Blue Devil threats. Duke pushed one late drive 43 yards into scoring position but a Folger pass was intercepted to stop the attack on the six-yard line. Tech fans rose screaming in hope just once. Quarterback Har ry Walton brought a Folger kick back 41 yards in the third period but the offense died a few sec onds later when a Tech pass fell into enemy hands.

Tar Heel Victory Over LSU Arouses Songs From Varney By Buddy Vaden comment, declared jokingly, Yesterday's triumph over LSU "Coach might say we played a proved to the Tar Heel Terrors game today, but wait until that a good day's work can do Tuesday!" wonders to one's disposition. Un"- j Chan Highsmith, one of the like the victory over State last greater Tar Heel forwards, said week, Coach Snavely's boys felt about the game, "That looked much better about yesterday's lke the first of four or five tough thrilling spectacle and showed it ones. Charlie and Hosea sure are when they entered the dressing good goys to have playing for room after the game. Immediately after bursting in to the field house, a trio of Tar you and not against you." Bob Cox, who scored ten points and was continually running all Heel tenors, led by maestro Sid over the field, remarked, 'We got Varney, gave out with what sounded like an original version of "Tiger Rag." Amidst all the noise and cele bration, Coach Snavely had a few words to say about the game. "We're glad to have that one over with and have it won. I thought it was going to be rough going there for a while, but then we clicked with several passes and changed the whole complexion of the game. Our boys were mad at themselves for last j week's show and then got even madder when LSU scored." Art Weiner, who like Confu cius, always has something to say, commented, "It's about time!" And then after hearing Snavely's rolling today You can just write me up as a back next time." Varney, who had by this time stepped from the podium to the shower, said about the coming game with Tennessee, "We'll put 11 men against 'em. They say they're goin to beat us, but we think differently." And then, go ing back to yesterday's game, he said, "I sure hope we satisfied the 'ns this time." LSU's Coach Tinsley was obvi ously impressed with the Tar Heels. Said he after the game, "Those boys that beat us out there today are going to beat a lot more clubs before this season is over."

Student Party Meet Scheduled Tomorrow Snavely's Boys Score Fifth Win Of Season By Dick Jenretie Carolina's Tar Heels successfully hurdled one more ob stacle in their path to an unbeaten season by rolling over Louisiana State's Tigers, 34-7, before 41,000 satisified fans Kenan stadium yesterday. The victory was the fifth of the year and 12th straight over a two-year span for Coach Carl Snavely's boys. In marking up their triumph, the Tar Heels completely lived up to pre-game predictions. They were expected to win by four touchdowns and came through by this count without too much difficulty. The triumph was an impressive one, and should advance the locals in national grid ratings.

In the matter of first downs, the Tar Heels had 18 to seven for the visiting Bayou Staters. The lo cals picked up 280 yards rushing and 178 passing for a grand to tal of 453. Another important factor in the Carolina win was good punting. The Tar Heels av eraged 46.1 on six boots; five of which were by Charlie Justice. Evenly Divided Scoring honors for the day were divided between Justice, Hosea Rodgers, Bob Cox, Ken Powell, and Bobby Weant. Cox also converted on four of the five tries for extra points to run his season record to 17 good kicks in 19 tries. The only one he miss ed yesterday resulted when a 15 yard penalty moved the ball back to the 17-yard line instead of the customary 2. Carolina's victory as usual was a team victory. All played bril liantly. Rodders and Justice probably rate the nod as the brightest of the backfieldmen. The lean Carolina fullback was the workhorse of the running at tack, carrying the ball 18 times for 91 yards. Charlie Justice on 16 occassions for 71 yards. Jus tice passes netted 138 and Rod gers passed for 31 more. Larry Klosterman, Len Szafaryn, and Sid Varney attracted particular attention for their fine line play. The much publicized injury trouble obviously didn't slow the team up. Bob Kennedy, shifted to wingback when Fred Sherman and Bill Flamisch were injured, came through in fine style. Also that big Tar Heel line operated r c a: i j . .i i r rr , 1 Y. ' enecuveiy aespue me iuss ui ieu 137 Hazelwood. 132 ' None in Second Only in the second quarter did he Tar Heels fail to score. The 31ue and White gridders ran up wo quick scores in the first per nd for a 13-0 lead, saw LSU nake its only touchdown in the hird quarter to cut the margin to 13-7, and finally pulled away with two more touchdowns later in the third and another in the fourth. The Tar Heels scored the first time they got their hands on the ball. Rodgers ran the kickoff back to the 33, and in three line plays, Carolina had a first down on the 44. Justice tossed to Weiner for another first down on the LSU 40. Two more Justice jaunts and a line buck by Rodgers provided another first and ten on the 29.

Trading was dull on the Franklin street black market as frantic ticket merchants at tempted to get rid of an abun dance of mediocre seals at cost, and, toward game time, below cost. Fifly-yard-line pasleboards were offered at S15 each, but there were few lakers. And those persons who spent their money on scalped ducats dis covered to their sorrow at the game that Kenan stadium was not evn sold out. A crowd of 41.000 fell short of filling up the stands.
