Billy Hayes, the 185-lb. full back frjm Arlington, Virginia who found himself as a plunguig fullback yesterday, had a badly bruised and bleeding nose and several gashes on his face. Said Hayes of the Blue Devils, "They hit harder than any team we played all year. I don't have much else to say."

When Ken ny (Powell) got hurt, Wash real ly played a good game."- ; When asked what he thought about the game itself, Weiner said that he thought it was a "pretty clean game." Coach Carl Snavely came into the room and went from player to player congratulating him on the day's performance. "We won. That s aooiu an uidi counts," was Snavely's first com, ment when asked for a statement. "It was a very hard game against a good team. "We made many mistakes," he continued, "but our boys made up by an unbeatable fighting spirit."

Cherry While happy Tar Heel fans and players were celebrating Caro lina's hard-earned victory over Duke, the Blue Devil players, who put up such a strong last ditch battle against the warriors from Chapel Hill, were, downcast and gloomy in their dressing room. Hardly a sound could be heard in the Duke locker room immed iately after the end of the thrill ing contest as the disappointed players slowly undresqd and showered. Coach Wallace Wade, as disap pointed as his boys over the out come, silently strolled from player to player slapping them on the back and offering a word of en couragement or praise. Tailback Billy Cox, the main cog in Duke's offense, sat sadly in a corner of the room, with a passing teammate pausing now and then to congratulate him on his play. When Coach Wade finally with drew from the dressing room long enough for a short conference with the press, it was apparent that he was very proud of the (See CAROLINA, paye'3) SMU Is Victim Of Baylor, 35-26 DALLAS, Nov. 19 UP) Tall Adrian Burk, Baylors man with the slingshot, knocked down Southern Methodist 35-26 today to keep the Southwest Conference football championship race going for another week.

The victory gave William and Mary the rubber tilt of their three game intersectional football se ries. v The Indians ran and passed 77 yards to open the scoring late in the third quarter and then con verted two Arkansas fumbles in to fourth-quarter touchdowns. The passing ot Buddy Lex and the line-ramming of Jack Cloud and Ed Magdziak ate up the yard age and brought the scores. But William and Mary's line made the victory possible. The big line twice stopped the Razorbacks within the five-yard line. As W & M Coach Rube McCray said, "It was a team victory I never saw so many play so well at once."

Re leased on $25 bond was James Stallings of Franklinton, charged with engaging in an affray. He is not a student. The Durham police station was crowded tonight with students who wished to post bond for Sper. Among them, was Don Sibly, Duke head cheerleader. The trial has been scheduled for 10 o'clock Monday morning in Durham Re corder's Court. Mize charged that Sper es caped from him twice while he was attempting to take him in to custody for fighting with Stal lings. James H, Wilder, student from Mount Giliad, said, however," that Sper made no attempt to resist arrest. Wilder said Sper was swept away from the officer by the crowd which pushed in on them shortly after the game ended He said the entire incident be gan when Stallings took a crepe paper pompom away from cheer leader Julia McHenry. Sper dashed after Stallings and got the pompom, after a scuf fle, Wilder said. 'Mize, he added, attempted to arrest both Sper and Stallings for fighting, when the crowd shoved in against them and pulled Sper away. Wilder charged that both Mize and another police officer, A. W. Holmes, were using blackjacks in an attempt to control the crowd.

'' . mere were omy nve seconas one point separating the two teams ' when Mike Souchak stepped back to attempt the field goal that would have meant victory for the home team. The line of scrimmage-was . the Carolina 20 and Fred Schoonmaker kneeled down to hold the ball, when one official ruled that the game was over. The tension broke and the crowd swarmed onto the field, but the arbiters gathered again and decided that the ball was already in play and that Souchak deserved one more chance. But Art Weiner saved the Tar Heels the suspense of watching the pigskin floating toward the uprights by charging into the Duke backfield to block the try with his leg before Souchak could meet the ball. It was a fitting climax for a wonderful day for the Ail-America end who snared two touchdown passes, plus t'wo others for 105 of Carolina's 120-yard aerial yardage. Moving closer to the national record with seven passes caught Weiner and Tar Heel Captain Charlie Justice were just about the entire Carolina scoring punch as they faced their traditional rivals for the last time. Together, they accounted for all three Carolina touchdowns, Justice passing to Weiner for two and taking a toss from Billy Hayes, who played demolition expert on the Duke . line, for the third. . But actually it was Dave Wiley who won the game for the Tar Heels by blocking an attempted quick kick by Duke Tailback Billy Cox in the third period for a safety that meant the two points between victory and defeat. " . ; .. The statistics only proved how evenly the two teams were matched for the annual rivalry that saw the Tar Heels go into the lead in the overall series with 17 victories as against 16 for Duke and three ties. The two teams were tied in first downs with 10 each and Duke had a final jjt was in the air that Carolina three touchdowns, to 39 for Duke. The game started out as if to okay the pre-game predictions of a free-scoring contest when Cox headed off tackle on the first' play from scrimmage and dashed 75 yards for a touchdown. But the Tar Heels powered back in the next quarter with Justice completing a 40-yard toss to Weiner on the goal line to tie up the encounter and the visitors went ahead 7-6, on Abie Williams' conversion. With two more scores Carolina opened up a sizeable gap in the third stanza that seemed to mean that the remainder of the game would be a light blue breeze, but Duke fought back, only to be stopped one point short of the victory. Carolina clicked off 14 more quick points on the safety en gineered by Wiley, a flat pass from Hayes to Justice that covered three bloodies yards, and another toss from Justice to Weiner that made four yards in the air and eight more on the ground. But that final touchdown marked the beginning of the Duke comeback, for Tom Powers grabbed the post-score kickoff on his own seven and scampered 93 yards to the opposite end zone.
