Walker drilled his boys hard all
afternoon in preparation for Sat-
urday's Southern Conference head
line date with Duke at Durham.
The first two elevens ran through
their plays and then staged a dunn
my scrimmage against Duke plays.
Much time was devoted to
polishing the Wake Forest passing
attack by which the team scored
three times last year against Duke.
Doing the passing were Nick Sac
rinty, Tom Fetzer, Bud Lail and
John (Red) Cochran.
Walker indicated that it is doubt
full, however, if Cochran will be
ready to play against Duke. The
veteran back has an ailing leg and
an injured shoulder.
There were several new faces on
the No. l eleven which lined up IN
this fashion: Burnie Caps and Ed
Bradley, ends; Ulysses Cornogg and
Bernie Hanula, tackles; Bob Leonet-
ii and Ed Royston, guards; Harry
Clark, center; Ray Manieri, block
ing back; Nick Sacrinty, tailback;
Bo Sacrinty, wiagback, and Clay

Caps scored twice later, both
