NEW YORK, Jan. l. - Baseball was just a runaway rcmp for the Yankees in the year 1889.
 The New Workers, employing slightly revamped battle array, again oyerp0Wered rival American League clubs and then slaughtered the hap less Cincinnati Reds to take their fourth consecutive world champion ship.
 Romping away from the Boston Red Sox by r games to win the American League penna n t, the Yanks crushed the Reds, National League standard bearers, in four contests,
 Not cnly did they pierce the Reds defense with lusty failing and pug gle them with crafty pitching, but the Yanks were also speedy and alert enough to cash in on Cincin- nati's fielding lapses.
 Cincinnati's Paul Derringer had the better of a pitching duel with Red Ruffing in the opener until Wal freedman let Charley Keller's fly tall get away for a triple in the ninth. Mcnte Pearson handcuffed the challengers in the second, set ting them down without a hit for

NEW YORK, Jan. l. - For the fight faithful the years big moment came that June night when the boisterous bartender, Tony Galento, dumped heavyweight champion Joe Louis on the seat of his pants out in Yankee Stadium.
 Louis was down only a second or two but 1t was long enough to afford boxing it's top thrill. Spines tingled at the sight of the invincible Brown Bomber bowled oyer. Globular Gal ento, often beaten by third-raters. regarded by mary as a loud, wise cracking, muscular clown, actually had knocked the champion down.
 That Galento could punch. The crowd. sensing that perhaps it was in on one of the greatest upsets in pugilistic history, was on it's feet cheering wildly But Louis got up quickly and battered the gallant Galento so terrifically that the fight was stopped in the fourth round.
 Last year also saw Louis stop three other challengers, new cham pions crowned in several divisions, the arrival of fistic glamour boy

For 40 Title

Durham, Nov. 6-Duke's Blue DeV-

their campaign for Il third straight
Southern conference crown When

stadium Saturday.
The Blue Devils, winners OF the
title outright in 1888 and co-champ-

game in Duke stadium as will the IL
nal contest Of the year with Pitt,

Duke has even more things ut
stake in these three games. The
Blue Devils have not been beaten
in loop competition since Carolina
last pulled the stunt in 1887. That
is their only loop loss since 1884
when again it was Carolina that beat
them. Duke has won or shared IN
conference crowns for four OF tn
past five years and will at least gel
a share of this years spoils if they
are able to come through these tree
battles.
Davidson has not beaten the Blue
Devils since 1929 but the Wildcats
did battle Wallace Wade's 1lrSt
team to a scoreless tie in 1881. Since
then Duke has been superior but the
games have always been terrlflcally
fought.
The Wildcats are not whipped
until that final whistle is blown and
they showed that again Saturday
against Center. Trailing, OH gong
into the final period, the Wildcats
went out there and scored four touch
downs to win Pip. This is typl-
cal Davidson finish and Duke, S
heavily favored Blue Devils Will
have to watch them all the way Sat-

This would indicate that Wake
Forest is 81 points better than State
from the standpoint of the Carolina
and Furman games but in figuring
in the Clemson game this margin is
cut to 20 points.
The one bright spot from this
comparison is that Stale was able to
score on Clemson, 4 feat that Wake
Forest was unable to accomplish. In
fact, State has scored on every OPP
ponent this season, and now the big
question is:
Will the Country Boy Wolfpack be
able to score on Wake?

Wake Forest. No.. G.-This grid
iron tusSel between \. {. State aud
Wake Forests DcaconS scheduled for
Raleigh Saturday afternoon will b2
something more than iusl an ord
nary football game.
The football series between Stale
and Wake. is one OF long standing
It dates back to 1907. and although
IN. c. State holds Il wide margin ri
victories, the battles OF recent years
have been nothing but dng-dong al
fairs with one or the Other shooting
for "home runs. rather than wait
ing for breaks. They Try 10 make
the breaks, and that is Just one Of
the reasons this meeting is looked
forward to each year.
Back in 1892 and 1888, the Deacons
and States Wolfpack played two
scoreless ties. but since then there
has been plenty 10 talk about.
Wake fans like 10 recall Walton
Kitchin's passing exploits Of the 81
tiff, won by the DeacS 1912. Kitchin
tossed Il pass TO end Bert Shore for
his teams last touchdown seconds
before the final gun and Tex Edens

Apparently revcngeful for thai
heartbreaking loss. Cowboy Robin

the heat in the 80 meeting for the
Wofpack and won 2l-G. The Cow
