10 Victory


Chapel Hill, Nov. 20-The
University of North Carolina S
vaunted Tar Heels today swept
to a decisive 700 victory over
arch-rival Duke University's Blue
Devils in a last-llalf offensive
that gave them three straight
over Duke for the first time in
the history Of the long rivalry.
The Tar Heels kept their un-
beaten streak intact and made a
bid for more national recogni-
ton and a possible major bowl
bid by unleashing their vaunted
power for three touchdowns in
the last two periods after a
scoreless first half.
Charlie (Choo-Choo) Justice ,
Cardinals leading All-American
candidate, indicated his fitness
for the post by scoring the first
Tar Heel touchdown on a bril-
liant 43-yard run then by pass
ing to star end Art Weiner in
the end zone for the second .
Hosea Rodgers, big Carolina full
back, was at his best today, tear
ing great holes in the Duke for
ward wall and figuring in the
last touchdown or a Rodgers :
Weiner pass.
The game, a colorful affair on
every OCCASION, was played today
in perfect football weather here
in Cardinals beautiful Kenan
Stadium. The Tar Heels wore
their "lucky" powder-blue jer-
seys and the Blue Devils were in
their white jerseys with blle
numerals.
Carl Snaveley and Wallace
Wade, two of the leading expon-
ents Of the single wingback for
nation, matched wits again, with
Wade turning in the second half
to the short-punt or diamond
T" formation to try and score
on the Tar Heels.
The capacity crowd Of 44,500
fans jam-packed into the stad-
ium watched the Blue Devils,
aided no little by the fine punt
ing of Fred Folger, keep the Tar
Heels back in their own terri
tory until late in the second
quarter.
The Blue Devils put on three
drives which carried into Caro-
lima territory In the first half,
one going as faf as the q
before they were checked. Fol
ger and Mounie, doing most of
the ball-handling for the Bl u e
Devils, figured prominently n
the ground-gainiag which netted
six first downs for Duke, how
ever nine attempted Blue Devil
passes all missed fire.
Late in the half Carolina got
rolling for the first time after
a Folger kick had set them back
on their own Vineyard line. With
Rodgers, Justice and Kennedy
running the ball the Tar Heels
moved SO yards TO the Duke %
before fourth-down pass from
Rodgers was intercepted by
Dukes Louis Viau on the rs to
halt the drive just before the
half ended.
Early in the third period Caro-
lima moved into Duke territory
again, with Rodgers making one
run of % yards from the mid
field stripe to the Duke % after
it looked as though he would be
sqarmed under for loss on a
pass attempt. A 15-yard penalty
for having an ineligible pass re-
ceiver down the field set the Tar
Heels back, then Justice angl-
ed a coffin-corner punt out on
the Duke seven. Folger punted
to Maceyko on third down and
gave Carolina the ball on the
Duke 43.
On the first play from scrim-
mage Justice cut over the line,
almost fell over his interference
but kept going, picked up block
ers then reversed his field en-
tirely to cross the goal line on
his feet while Carolina fans roar
ed their approval. After the
touchdown Bob Cox missed his
third try al an extra point in
30 attempts and the Tar Heels
were ahead 6 to O.
After the Carolina score t h e
Blue Devils trotted out the dia-
mond T formation on offense
with Frye quarterbacking under
the center. A Justice quick-kick
off the side of his foot and bound
ed back to the Carolina Al with
about five minutes to go in the
