Another Chapter
In vanquishing the Miami Hur-
ricanes in their game in Miami,
the Demon Deacons added anoth-
er chapter to their impressive list
of victories for 1914.
The sparkplug of the Baptist
machine was Tom Fetzer, third
string tailback, who contributed
to the Wake victory largely by
means of some fancy tossing Of
the pigskin. Dick Brinkley and
Mack Leonard also performed
yeoman service for the Deacons.
The Baptists got an early start
On the victory march by scoring
a couple Of markers in the OPEN
ing period. Just to make things
unanimous, they added two more
in the third period.
The superiority of the Deacons
over the Miami outfit is empha-
sized by the statistics on the
game, showing first downs for
the North Carolinians as compar-
ed with three for Miami. Tae
Deacons amassed a total of 276
yards gained by passing and rum
ming.

proved they could rise to their o.
portunities again, when in the
third period, recovery Of tumble

the Army Mule loose his scoring
power Saturday as the Soldiers
topped Dukes Blue Devils 81 to
7. The Blue Devils, showing the
kind of stuff that has made the
team famous in the past, held the
balance of power in the first half
of the battle, but the power of
the Army asserted itself after half
time. The Dukes led rs at the
end of the half, but Army came
back to score three more touch

The North Carolina Preflight
Cloudbusters can thank the toe
Of St. John for their slender VIC
tory margin which enabled them
to defeat Jacksonville Navy 14-13.

ments which furnished the margin
of victory, in the Cloudbusters'
close call at Jacksonville.

Jacksonville outfit in the first
period, the Preflights Comeback

Indians added another scalp to
their seasons collection Saturday

Va. and defeated Fort Monroe

the fancy footwork of Charlie
