Snork Sweet
Revenge Attack
By BILL DAvEY

hot University of North Caro-
lina's Tar Heels struck twice IN
the first period and twice in the
last quarter to down the Demon
Deacons of Wake Forest College,
28-6, here this afternoon IN
Groves Stadium in great show
of offensive power.
For the Tar Heels today's VIC
tory was sweet revenge for the
1877 upset the Deacons had pull
ed on the highly-touted Carolina
team last year at Chapel Hill,
and it kept their victory string
intact with three triumphs IN
three starts.
Carolina looked a little the
worse for wear only one time,
and that was when the Deacons
came back after halftime to put
on a great offensive drive that
moved them from their own 70
yard stripe to score on a pass
deep in the Carolina end zone
from Bill Gregus to John (Red)
O'Quinn.
A capacity crowd packed the
Wake Forest stadium for the
contest played in shirt sleeve
weather under sunny skies. To-
days game was one OF three
home performances by the Dea-
cons and standing room was at
premium to watch the meet
ing of the two gridiron rivals.
Charlie (Choo Choo) Justice
and big Hosea Rodgers spanked
the Carolina scoring drive IN
the first quarter, with Justice
crossing the Wake Forest goal
on his feet after sharp cut
back over right tackle. Bob Coxs
trained toe provided the per-
feet placement to move the Tar
Heels into a lead that was new
er headed.
Rodgers plunged the center OF
the Deacon line as if he owned
it on delayed bucks that piled
up the yardage for Carolina all
afternoon, and on the touchdown
drive which moved Sc yards JUS
tice broke loose on two spark
ling runs, one of which was
called back from the Wake For
est five when an off-side penal
ty was called against the Tar
Heels.
Cardinals second touchdown
came right on the heels OF the
first, when Gregus fumbled on
the kickoff and Len Szafaryn
recovered for the Tar Heels on
the Deacon 80. On the first play
from scrimmage Bill Maceyko,
nominally the defensive safety
back for the Tar Heels, took
the ball through the line and
scampered all the way for the
touchdown and Cox was true
toed again.
Carolina threatened again ear
" in the second quarter when
Jim Lail fumbled and Ken Pow
ell recovered for the Tar Heels
on the Deacs' Is, but Wake For
est dug in and took over the
ball four downs later after hav-
ing rolled the Wanted Carolina
team back one yard.
The Deacons started a sus
tanned drive, spanked by the
passing of Carroll Blackerby
which carried them to the Caro-
lima is before they were stop
ped. At this point Justice quick
kicked, mighty kick which
went far over the safety man:
head and rolled dead on the
Deacon 10-yard line for a tota
of rs yards from scrimmage. Thu
Deacons started another passing
attack with Tom Fetzer tossinl
and O'Quinn missing and tn
half ended with Carolina in pos
session.
EARLY in the third quarter tn
: Deacons served notice that the!
were still very much in the bal
game by taking the ball on thei
own % after a punt return b.
Fetzer and moving it IA play
