DEACONS EDGE OUT
CAMEC0CKS, 7-6.
Pruitt Passes To Jett For
Wake Forest Score In
Closely-Played Game

CHARLOTTE, Nov. 20 R -
Wake Forests Demon Deacons
nosed out an inspired University
of South Carolina eleven, 7-6, here
today in a spirited Southern confer
ence football game that highlight-
ed North Cardinals Thanksgiving
day observance in this vicinity.
Around 5000 wildly cheering
spectators saw the heftier, black
and gold jersied Deacons push over
a touchdown and point in the sec
ond period and the fighting South
Carolinians come back in the third
to make a touchdown but fail in
the try for point.
Both teams displayed a finesse
both in attack and defense rarely
seen in American Legion Memorial
stadium and put on a show that
sent fans away pleased Wake
Forest Old Grads that their team
had won, and South c. cl;nians
that their boys, rated in pre-game
dope as the ~underdogs, had put
up a good battle although losing.
The Deacons, after a scoreless
opening period, gained possession
of the ball early in the second when
Captain Jimmy Ringgold recover
ed Dewitt Arrowsmith's tumble
on the Gamecock 80. Then, in quick
succession Big John Polanski
gained 81 and six and Tony Gal
lovich ran three more to put the
ball on the nine. Short thrusts car
ried the Deacons to the five and
there ]. V. Pruitt, sub quarterback,
passed into the end zone to John
Jet and Gallovich placekicked the
point for a 10 advantage.
A booming 60-yard punt by Ken
Roskie, scintillating Gamecock
sub back, started the chain of ev-
ents in the third period that led to
South Cardinals score. The ball
was downed on Wake Forests
six.
Red Mayberry, Deacon triple
threat quarterback, ran up to the
II in two tries from punt forma-
ton, then under tremendous pres
sur at the hands of charging
Gamecock forwards, got off a high
punt to Roskie, who took it on his
40 and a back to the Deacon 81.
Al Grygo, sub back, then faded
back and passed a long one to Har-
vey Blouin, a fellow sub, who took
the ball on the 20 and a to the
nine before being pulled down. On
the next play Grygo slipped
through his right tackle for nine
and the score. Arrowsmith's place
kick was wide.
The Deacons plunged to the
South Carolina II to the IS and to
the IA on fourth period threats
but each time the determined gar
net clad Gamecocks held and took
the ball on downs.
Wake Forest made five downs
to six for the South Carolinians
and rolled up 119 yards net rush
ing to 104 for the Gamecocks.
Each team completed two passes,
Wake Forest out of four tries and
Carolina out of six.

This Is One Reason Florida

BY ROMNEY WHEELER

ATLANTA, Nov. 28.-R-Maybe
one Of the reasons why Florida's
Gators are upsetting footballs big
gies is that Coach Tom Lieb
doesn't mind kicking tradition
around. . Near the close of the
Georgia Tech game, when the Vel
low Jackets yer desperately
throwing passes, Lieb yanked his
firing center, Parham, and put in
a gangling halfback, Tommy Har-
