Deacons Get Hard Drill,
| Duke Tackle Injured,
| Tar Heels Busy

Wake Forests undefeated Dea-
cons today started preparations
for their hardest test of the sea-
son-against Duke in Durham on
Saturday afternoon.
Coach Peahead Walker sent his
charges through hard practice
session and warned his players
they will have to improve on last
Saturdays play if they are going
to get by the Blue Devils. The
Deacs defeated Clemson, 1877 but
at times their play seemed list
less.
No injuries were s.shred against
the Tigers, and the Deacs should
be at top strength for the Duke
game. Wake Forest has successive
decisions over North Carolina,
Georgia, Maryland, VMI, N. c.
State, Miami, and Clemson.
