SPORTS SECTION he Sunday Star WASHINGTON, D. C, SUNDAY MORN NG, NOVEMBER 17, 1935. North Carolina T oppled by Duke, 27-0 : Cards Oyerpower Green T errors, 20-6 LONG RUNS SMASH by Alert Blue Devils Associated Press Sports Writer.

DUKE STADIUM, Durham, tions were knocked higher season with a stunning 25-t0-0 upset Southern gridiron history. Duke’s surprise victory also toppled Unbeaten Tarheels Routed BY EDDIE BRIETZ, N. C., November 16.—North than a kite today when a smart, well- before nearly 47,000 rain-soaked spec- Not only did North Carolina’s Rose the Tarheels from the rapidly-thin- | E3 | ning ranks of the Nation's undefeated | | elevens. Until today Carl Snavely’s | high-powered machine had rolled up | seven straight triumphs. | & Duke came up with a powerful | running attack to score a touchdown | in the second period, another in the | third and then topped off the rout | with two markers in the fourth. North Carolina was completely out- played in every department. The Tarheels made 13 first downs to 5, but could not make them count. Duke obviously had been carefully groomed for its top game of the sea- son. Coach Wallace Wade's big for- wards stopped North Carolina’s run- | ning attack cold and completely bot- tled up the vaunted forward passing combination of Don Jackson, the Tar- heels’ all-America candidate. and Dick Buck, his running mate. Almost every time Jackson flung one of his long aerials, it seemed a couple of blue-jerseyed Dukes were on hand to break up the play. Duke Capitalizes on Breaks. DUKE rode to two of its four touch- downs on intercepted passes from the usually accurate throwing arm of Jackson. The others came as the results of gallops of 47 and 30 yards by Jule Ward of Galax, Va. and Clarence (Ace) Parker of Ports- mouth, Va. With the highly touted Jackson unable to find a mark for his darts, the best player on the field was this same Parker, Duke's hustling quar- terback. He personally accounted for one touchdown, but he was here, there and everywhere, kicking, pass- ing and running and altogether turn- ing in one of the classiest exhibitions of quarterbacking Southern fans have seen in a good many years. Parker played 57 of the minutes of the hard- hitting foot ball. While the big crowd waited impa- tiently for North Carolina to turn on the heat, hopped into the lead early in the sec- ond period. Duke took a North Caro- lina punt, gave the ball to Ward, and he skipped 47 yards down the field like a frightened rabbit for the first | score. His try for point was short. A break helped Duke score its next touchdown. Midway in the third period Parker punted deep into the Carolina territory. The ball bounced out of bounds, then bounded back on the one-yard line. Jackson flipped a pass toward Buck from behind the goal line, but Jack Hennemier, Duke center, snagged it on the six-yard line and three plays later Ward scored. Sam Gardner added the point. Tarheels Toss Away Chances. A HECTIC fourth quarter saw the Dukes count two more touch- downs. -After North Carolina had marched down the field from its 37- yard line to the Blue Devil 14, Jack Alexander pulled down one of Jack- son’s aerials, tucked the ball under his arm and blithely skipped 95 yards for a score. Parker added the point. Later in the same period Ward snagged one of Jackson's passes on North Carolina’s 32. Parker got two yards and then ran for a touchdown on the next play., Ward missed the goal. Carolina had only two good scoring opportunities and tossed both away. In the second the Tarheels charged down to Duke's nine. After three passes were broken up they called on | Babe Daniel for a field goal from the 20-yard line. It failed. Their most sustained drive was in the fourth be- fore Alexander dragged down Jack- son’s heave and converted it into a Duke touchdown with his long run. Line-ups and Summary. Pos. North Carolina (0).

Y., November 16. —Syracuse’s dreams of a place in the 1935 national foot ball firmament lay trampled to- night in the sod of old Archbold Sta- dium. Thrice beaten Colgate, loosing all its pent-up fury, crushed the hard-fight- ing but woefully outclassed Orange machine, 27 to 0, in their thirty-sev- enth meeting today and rudely shat- tered its time-honored rival’s hopes of an undefeated season. ‘The victory of canny Andy Kerr's magicians, before a sell-out crowd of 35,000, also extended to 11 years the domination of the Maroon over the' larger Central New York school, for | not since 1924 has Syracuse tri- umphed over Colgate. LGATE was complete master | throughout the 60 minutes of play, | [ moving through the air and on the ground to punch over a touchdown in the first period, two in the third and another in the fourth. Colgate lost no time in getting down to the business of despoiling an un- | marred Syracuse record for the third | c time in four years. The first touchdown came swiftly midway the first period on two plays OF ] 00 | from Syracuse’s 27-yard stripe. A forward, flipped by Fullback Don (Bull) Irwin of Utica, N. Y., to Half- back Eugene Kern of Waterbury, | Conn., put the ball on the 2-yard line. Irwin went through center for the | score but Marcel Chesebro of Hamil- | ton, N. Y, failed to convert. A few minutes later, after recovering & Syracuse fumble on the latter’s 23- yard mark, Colgate tallied again when Irwin handed the ball to Kern, who in turn tossed to Halfback Dick | Offenhamer of Buffalo. The latter jogged down the sideline 5 yards for the score, and Chesebro's kick was good. After twice threatening in the early stages of the second chukker, the Jug- gernaut from Chenango Valley ad- vanced 55 yards, mostly through the air, to its third touchdown just before the first half ended.

The Violets now have won 16 games and Rutgers 15 since 1890. Two games ended in ties. From the outset the speedy Violets showed their mastery.

CINCINNATI KEEPS DRESSEN AS PILOT Coin Lncrease Understood, but Two-Year Contract Is Not Granted. By the Associated Press. CINCINNATI, November 16. —Charles Dressen signed today a one-year contract to manage the Cincinnati Reds in 1936. There was no disclosure of terms reached. It was understood Dressen received an increase in salary over last year, though he lost in a quest for a two-year contract. “Charlie Dressen can manage the Reds as long as I am connected with the club,’ declared Larry MacPhail, general manager of the club. Dressen in turn squelched rumors that he had differed with MacPhail over points of management. “The report that I asked for a non- interference clause is the bunk,” he snorted. “I have never said to anyone that MacPhail interferred with me in a single instance on the playing field. He never did and the responsibility was mine in everything pertaining to the playing end of the game.” —— FLORIDA ROUTS SEWANEE McAnly, Matheny Get Touch- downs That Net 20-0 Win. GAINESVILLE, Fla., November 16 (#)—Hub McAnly, blazed the way with two sparkling touchdown runs today as the Florida 'Gators came to life in the last half and overpowered a grim Sewanee foot ball team, 20 to 0, before some 6,000 spectators. .Late in the fourth period Charlie Matheny, substitute Florida center, reached up and snatched one .of Ruch’s tosses on the Florida 38.

While overwhelming the Ithacans for the first time since 1931, Dart- mouth’s numerous and speedy ball carriers advanced the ball, rushing «and passing, almost a quarter of a mile | to score six touchdowns, four of which were made by fleet Frankie Nairne. Passing was the motive power for every Indian scoring drive and they succeeded in every period except the third, when one of their replacement touchdown, made from the 2-yard line by Jack Batten, climaxed an 80- yard Ithacan flight against this sub- stitute eleven early in the final period. Indians Dazzle With Passes, THE weak aerial attack, had three ex- pert passers in their opening backfield and two of them, John Handrahan and Eddie Chamberlain, had amazing success contacting their receivers. ‘The game was barely under way when Chamberlain tossed a 45-yard scoring pass to Nairne and before the teams changed sides Handrahan com- pleted a 43-yard toss to El Camp for a score that clinched the Indians’ eighth straight triumph of the season. Fred Hollingsworth, another passing expert, came in for the second period and Handrahan overheaded to him to wipe out 38 yards and chalk up the third Dartmouth counter; Mutt Ray, Dartmouth’s candidate for all-Ameri- can pivoting honors, started this drive by intercepting a Cornell pass and car- rying it back for 35 yards.

ACK IRWIN, a dash man in track, scored the first touchdown on a lateral pass from MacMillan after Prinecton had taken the ball on Lehigh's 22-yard line as the result | of a penalty.

A few minutes later, he took Peet's punt on his own 30-yard mark and twisted and pranced his way 70 yards for the fourth and final score.

AMMERING relentlessly with brought & 16-year-old famine of vengeance to an end yesterday at The triumph was the first for a Catholic University eleven over the A home-coming day crowd of 6,000 braved a cold rain to watch the Terrors. Two complete sets of backs, run into the game alternately, smash- | ed incessantly at the Western Mary- land line, keeping the Terrors back on their heels from start to finish, while a stout Brookland line con- sistently hurled back visiting ground offensives. Only through the medium of passes were the Terrors able to register any yardage and their aerials were puny weapons in comparison to the Catho- lic University marches by land. Foley's Kicks Provide Break. THROUGHOUT it was the dancing “Irish’ Carroll, sophomore half- back, who was the key man of the Cardinal attack. In addition to serv- ing as the spearhead of two sustained drives, Carroll provided the individual high light of the fray early in the second quarter with a 62-yard run through a broken field for a touch- down, giving the Cards a 14-to-0 lead. Before the half was ended the Green Terrors had cut down the lead to 14 to 6, thanks to a brilljantly blocked punt, but thereafter, with in- creasingly heavy rainfall cutting down the invaders’ chances of successful Catholic was in complete command. Long, unerring punts from the toe of Quarterback Spec Foley, a product of Tech High School, presented the Cardinals with an early advantage in | an exchange of kicks with a former | Western High back, Jim Draper. The | “break” came midway the initial period when one of Foley's boots rolled outside on Western Maryland's 1-yard line, forcing Draper to kick from be- hind his goal line. Booting hurriedly to prevent a block by the fast-charg- ing Cardinal forward wall, Draper sent up a short return punt which Catholic took on the Terrors’ 19-yard line. Determined to capitalize on the break, Coach Dutch Bergman inserted his first-string backfield of Carroll, Bob Makofske, Pete Dranginis and Bill Adamaitis and his strategy seemed destined for immediate reward when, on seven line plunges, Catholic marched to the 1-foot line. The Ter- rors braced, however, on a fourth down, repulsed the charge, and took the ball on downs. ONCE again Draper was forced to kick from behind his goal line and immediately the Cards were knocking at the touchdown door again when Dranginis ran back his punt 15 yards to the 20. This time the Brook- landers wasted no time. On four line plays—two by Carroll, another by Ma- kofske, and a final thrust by Adamai- tis—the Bergman forces rammed across. George Mulligan's placement made it 7-0. Hardly had the elevens changed goals after the quarter than Cathe olic struck again, this time with a | suddenness that left the Terrors breathless. Taking the ball on a punt by Draper on the 38-yard line, the Cards formed perfect interference for the elusive Carroll on the first play and the fleet sophomore, skirting left end and cutting back through a de- Adamaitis Plunges Over. op 1 moralized secondary, stepped off 62 yards for a second touchdown. Again Mulligan’s toe added the extra point. Rallying gallantly, the Terrors managed to make a battle of it the rest of the period. Starting on their own 44-yard line shortly after the kick-off the Terrors tried the air and rang up two successive first downs to plant the oval on Catholic’'s 26. Here, mixing ground plays with passes, Western Maryland marched to another first down on the 14 and finally to the 7-yard line, where a new Brook- land line hurled back the invaders and took the ball on downs. Foley, after directing two fruitless line plunges, dropped back to punt, but Stanley Benjamin, left end of the visitors, blocked it perfectly, knocked 1t back across the goal line and fell on it for Western Maryland's only touchdown. Terrors Pass in Vain. JESPITE the sea of mud into which the gridiron was converted by the heavy rain, Carroll again proved too elusive for the Terrors when sent back into the game midway the third quarter. Protecting three recently cracked ribs by simply avoiding being tackled, Irish set the stage for the game’s final score by sprinting 16 yards to Western Maryland's 24, and then carrying the ball twice more for another first down on the 15-yard stripe. From here the combination of Carroll, Makofske and Adamaitis marched across, Adamaitis toting the oval on the final play. Mulligan's placement this time was wide. That was all the serious damage. Catholic spent the final period pro- tecting its lead, while the Terrors desperately whipped passes of all va- riety, including a successful 30-yard heave off a triple lateral. They were unable to connect enough of their aerials, however, to constitute a bana fide scoring threat. Despite the triumph the Cardinals still trail the Terrors in Colorado College defeated Montana State 14-0, and Utah State won from Brigham Young 27-0.
