rout after a Wake Forest charge
was stopped in the opening period.
The Tigers, garnering 10 points in
each of the last three quarters
kept the bewildered, outclassed vi
sitors on the run with a continual
flow of substitutes. Fresh players
were at a premium under t h e
broiling sun.
The victory boosted the Tigers
