DUKES AWARDED
CIRCUIT TITLE
AND FIFTH WIN
Tom Davis Sparks Win
ners' Offense And
Defense
BY BLOYs BRITT

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., Nov. Is.
-RNBig Tom Davis, Duke uni
versity's candidate for all-Amer-
lea, led his mates to a $50 victory
over North Cardinals Tar Heels
here today in the 31st renewal OF
the states oldest football rivalry.
Davis, playing his last game for
Duke. accounted for one touch
down and caught the fancy of the
crowd of $4,000 with his great
offensive and defensive play.
The victory gave the hard-cnarg-
ing Blue Devils the Southern con-
ference title for the second year
in a row and ended schedule that
saw the Dukes meet the nations
top teams and wind up with a
5-4 won and lost percentage. Their
victories included decisive wins
over Georgia Tech and Wake For
est. They lost to Navy, Penn,
Army and North Carolina Pre-
Flight.
Davis, aided by galaxy of
hard-winning backs and one OF
the stoutest lines the Blue Devils
have had in years, put Duke out
in front midway the first period
when he. plunged over from the
Tar Heel six-yard stripe after one
of the Tar Heels many threats
that did not pay off was stopped
on the Blue Devil 10-yard line.
The Dukes never were headed
after that and went on to score
IN every period. They got another
late in the first period, tailed one
in the second to lead 21-0 at the
intermission, and then got one
each in the third and fourth STAN
zas.
Dukes center, Bib John Crow
der, set up the first two Blue
Devil scores, intercepting Bob
Warren's pass on the Duke 40 to
give Davis his chance at the first
pay dirt plunge, and intercepting
Allan Elger's pass to pave the way
for Dukes second marker.
George Clark passed 10 yards to
Gordon Carver for this one.
The Clark-to-Carver pass CON-
bination accounted for the third
tally, in the second period. Clark
broke through tackle for 20 yards
and a fourth touchdown. With four
minutes left in the final period
Cliff Lewis passed to Harold
Raether for 20 yards and the Blue
Devils final tally.
Raether made good three tries
for the extra point, kicking from
placement.
The Tar Heels, who have won
only from the Cherry Point Ma
rines thus far this season, showed
brief bursts of power. Once in the
final period, Cardinals Allan FL
ger, a Navy trainee transferred
from Iowa and Duke, tossed four
successive passes that carried 40
yards to the Duke one, but the
Blue Devils rose to the occasion
and held for downs.
