Wake Forest, with a wealth of fast, px-All State high schoul backs and a powerful forward wall, were rated a close second and the Tar Heels' most tlunaerous rival Clemson's defending champions stacked up in the opinion of the experts as strong possibilities to re peat, and Duke was rated as dan gerous, . The weekend's results sent Duke into the role of North Carolina's most dangerous rival in the title race. The Blue Devils, headed by Billy Cox. crushed Richmond 67-0 while the sophomore-studded Tar Heels sputtered for three quarters, then got going in the final period to crush North Carolina State, 26-6. Wake Forest lost no luster in losing to Southern Methodist and Doak Walker, 13-6, but indicated a need for extra punch in scoring range. Clemson's Tigers ran up against former Coach Jess Neely's Rice Owls in Houston, and went back home with a 33-7 licking their old friend handed them. South Carolina's Gamecocks rat. ed as a Conference dark horse (for the third season in a row), lost. 20 6. to the Baylor Bears, another tough Texas team. But Washington and Lee's Gen erals looked better than they were expected to in clubbing Furman 27-7. Davidson's Wildcats went out of their class, put up a brave battle, but found Army's Black Knights entirely too much so. They lost 47-0. The top conference battle of the weekend is the one between Clem son and State College at Raleigh on Saturday night. Last season, the Tigers edged State, 6-0. strictly on Bobby Gage's 90-yard kickoff return. This sea son, State is in much better con dition offensively and has its usual big, tough line and the two-ilatnon system. The best games are inter-conference squabbles.

The 14-foot monoplane was built by its owner, Navy Chief W. E. White, in his garage and took eight months. A twin-cylinder motorcycle engine powers the craft, which was built of salvage materials.
