The Alexandria racing enthusi-

an annual coaster race on Labor

had a wicked curve" he laughed
And we sent the racers down eight

cause that's where all the wrecks
were
The first contest, he said, was in
1925. Mr.. Blank recalled cars In
those early races "often were only

a board Vehicles moved on every
thing from lswn-mower wheels to
bicycle wheels.

Our only rule was that no con-

said. The cars could be as heavy
as the boys wanted to make them,
and such present-day requirements
as brakes or safe steering appara-

The local chief of police was also
a racing fan, Mr.. Blank said, and
vhenver a group of boys wanted to
try out their cars, he'd put detour

An inspired Wofford Terrier
team almost upset Furman's

battled the Hurricane to a ~
deadlock. 1t was only by a sus-

Wofford scored in the third
period when scrappy Sammy Sc
well broke away on a 53-yard

The Terriers played outstand-

giving Duke 1912 victory over
the University of Maryland to-

dashed 80 yards for the touch
down that proved to be the final
six points of the contest.
Folger dominated the first
quarter with his running, kick
ing and passing. Late in the
quarter he tossed from his own
80 to Tommy Hughes on the
Maryland 30, and Hughes gallop-

first touchdown.
Souchak added the extra point

Maryland striving to pull the
contest out of the fire, made a
first down on the Duke 9 early
in the final period. Three Turyn

tackle Jim Goodman tried for
a field goal. but his kick was
low and wide.
Folger electrified the crowd
early in the first period when
he carried a Maryland punt 70
yards to seeming touchdown.
The play was nullified, however,
by a clipping penalty.
Both Folger and Cox were
hurt. Folger re-injured his weak
ankle and left the game in the
second period. With Maryland
threatening, he came back to
play part of the third, but suffer-
ed an injury to his other leg.
Cox hurt his ankle late in the
final period.
Coach Wallace Wade said he
will not be able to determine
whether either will be in shape
for next weeks contest against
V.P.I. until Monday.
AS for the game itself, Wade
said: ut was certainly a terri
fically hard-fought tussle. l am
mighty proud of our team for
the manner in which they came
back after being behind.
For the sake of the boy, II
is regrettable that Folger's
fine run had to be nullified. ="
Folger threw three passes al
together and completed two for
a total gain of rs yards, while
Cox made good three of eight
for a % yard total.
Maryland's Turyn completed
seven of the Is passes he at
tempted for a gain of IS yards.
