centrated on passing.
Johnny Fredericks and Dave Spen-
Ger worked at the tailback post and
both had little difficulty in connect

Sophomore Ben Washburn were
given considerable attention on the

DUKE

DURHAM, Oct. O. Up For the
third straight day, the Tennessee at
tack, as run by the freshmen and
reserves, was thrown at Dukes Blue
Devils this afternoon.
Some plays were thrown back,
others got through for gains as the
coaches pushed the boys in an ef-
fort to build up a defense for what
may be expected at Knoxville Sat-
urday.
After the period against Vol run
ming plays, the Blue Devils worked
against Vol passes and then worked
on their own passing, running and
games.
In the work on defense against
formations, the guards
still appeared to be less effective.
Coach Wallace Wade used several
different combines but still was un-
able to get any satisfaction from the
manner in which the guards per-
formed.
Frank Killian and Steve Lach, who
will do the kicking against the Vols,
worked on that and both got off good
kicks.
Jap Davis, the veteran fullback,
was on the field again today but
he was again dressed in ''sweat
clothes" and he was hobbling around.
