Duke Strong at Start.
From the time Duke first got
possession of the ball after the
Cavaliers. who received the OPEN
ing kickoff, punted. it looked like
a Duke victory. The Blue Devils,
losers only to Tennessee, the Ma
tion's No. l team, before today,
were on the Virginia 20 for their
first play. Piney Field put them
there with a 52-yard return of
the punt. But three plays later
Barger's lateral went wild and
Phipps recovered to close the door.
Later in the same quarter, w. D.
(Junior) McRoy recovered Kings
tumble and Duke had the ball
on the Cavalier 81. The Blue
Devils advanced to the Is, but
Jimmy Lesane intercepted Fields
pass on his own 10 to turn back
the Blue Devils again.
A third Duke threat in the sec
ond quarter was stopped on the
Cavalier II. Duke had Travelled
from its own Is. Charley Smith
picked up Is yards around end,
Barger gained Is yards through
left tackle and % through right
tackle and passed to Howie Pitt
for II. The Dukes got to the 9,
but Joe Mehalic nailed Barger on
the II and passes by Barger and
Dick Sommers on third and fourth
down were no good.

1t didn't stop. Dud Hage, de-
fensive back, recovered Hoak's
tumble on the Virginia 80. Bar
ger made five yards through tack
lie. one yard through center and
passed for seven yards to Charley
Niyen for a first down on the 26.
He. lost four yards to the 80, but
passed to Pitt who was nailed
within a yard Of the goal. Niven
crashed through for the score and
Ray Green kicked the extra point.
With the Cavaliers showing
practically nothing on offense,
those seven points looked good
to the Duke fans. Virginia had
the ball nine times in the first
half and gave it to Duke twice
on fumbles and twice on pass
interruptions. Their only serious
