'PEAHEAD' WALKER
WORKING DEACONS
FOR VOLS ARRAY

WAKE FOREST, N. c., Sept. rs.
-(AEWake Forests Deacons, prep
ping for their first test Of the sea-
son against Tennessee at Knoxville
Saturday, worked into darkness to-
day as coach D. c. Walker sought
to perfect defense against the
hard-running Vol backs.
Walker has been alternating
daily on breaking down the Tenn
essee offensive and defensive sys-
tenn for his players, and he said
today that the boys were looking
better every day"
Considerable emphasis is being
placed by Walker on triple-threat
tailback Nick Sacrinty. The Reds
vile youth, who was selected ELL
conference quarterback in 1943, is
one Of the south's best passers. He
was out last season with a broken
knee, but the injury hasn't bother
ed him in early practice and
Walktr is building the Wanted dea-
con attack around him in the air
and on the ground.
In a pass scrimmage today,
Sacrinty alternated with his under
study, freshman Jim Billiard of
Laurinburg, in tossing passes at
end Dave Harris and halfback 30
Sacrinty, brother of Nick. The
tailback's throws hit their targets
consistently and Walker said he
was pleased with the showing.
The Deacon squad is in good
shape physically, but Walker said
his reserves, especially the fresh
men, still needed a lot of work.
