The Cavalier daily :: Wednesday, November 1, 1972 :: University of Virginia Library

Every week it seems that
three out of the five ACC
Players of the Week are from
God's Country, or so our
neighbors to the south think of
their state. This week is no
exception.

Center Dale Grimes of the
Duke Blue Devils, linebacker
Stauber Wilson of N.C. State,
and fullback Stan Fritts, also
of N.C. State are the Tar Heel
State's representatives this
week.

Heads Duke Line

Grimes anchored a Blue
Devil line that moved the ball
well against Navy, although
only finding paydirt twice.
Opening holes in the
Academy's defensive wall.
Grimes led a Duke march of 70
yards in ten plays on their first
possession of the second half.

This march proved to be the
winning tally as Duke tripped
the Middies, 17-16.

Wilson was a stalwart in the
Wolfpack defensive unit
allowing only 78 yards to the
South Carolina rushers in the
42-24 thumping of the
Gamecocks. For his play, he
was tabbed the Defensive
Lineman of the Week.

Fritts bulled for two
touchdowns and 130 yards,
tying the Wolfpack single
season TD record in State's
trouncing of South Carolina.

Rookie Of The Week

Fritts, named Rockie of the
Week for his performance, tied
the 13 touchdown mark set by
Dick Christy in 1957.

Clemson fullback Wade
Hughes and Maryland defensive
back Ken Schroy are the other
two picks. Hughes was named
the Offensive Back of the
Week, and Schroy, the
Defensive Back of the Week.

Scores Two Touchdowns

Hughes, along with fellow
running back, Helde Davis,
scored two touchdowns as the
Tigers crushed Wake Forest,
31-0. Hughes scored on runs of
56 and two yards.

Defensive back Schroy
picked off two errant George
Allen aerials in the Terp's
comeback win over the
Cavaliers last Saturday.

The Terrapins' final
touchdown was the result of
Schroy's last interception in
which he picked off the pass at
the Cavalier 35 and returned it
to the 13. Four plays later,
tailback Louis Carter powered
over from the one and put
misery in the hearts of all the
once-happy alumni.
