Wake Forests undefeated, united
and unscored-on Deans started
drills today for the Clemson game
next Saturday, and were told by
their coach that they would have
to improve if they expected I'd
trim the Tigers.
Coach D. c. Walker said he wal
unimpressed by the Deacon's 1910
triumph over Furman last Sat-
urday, and added that his scouts
had reported that Clemson was
strong and fast.
Pat Preston, sophomore tackle
from Thomasvine suffered a bruis
ed muscle in his leg against Fur
man and may not play against
Clemson. His spot was filled today
by Larry Pivec, a senior.
Red Mayberry, first-string quart.

injuries but may play next Satur-

which consisted mostly of a signal
drill, dummy scrimmage, and
study of the Tigers plays.

Little was to be learned from
