Frank Quayle Zips Around End To Set Up One Of Many Cavalier Touchdowns

Number Twenty-One Scored A Fifteen Yard Six-Pointer Against Wake Forest

"A great team effort of mental
guts and desire," was Coach Blackburn's
proud remark immediately
after his team's triumph over Wake
Forest. Mr. Blackburn certainly
had reason to be exuberant in
consideration of the comeback victory
against the Demon Deacons.
After trailing 12-7, and being hard-pressed
for most of the first three
quarters, the stubborn Cavaliers
marched 80 yards in the fourth
quarter to score and win the game,
14-12.

For the third week in a row,
the Wahoos displayed a crushing
ground game. Frank Quayle, who
rushed for over 100 yards for his
second game in succession, demonstrated
why many sages have predicted
that he will win All-American
honors.

Quayle Rolls

Specifically, Quayle ground out
101 yards, to push his three game
total to 284 yards. Big Jeff Anderson,
workhorse of the contest,
picked up 89 yards in 25 carries.

However, when Anderson pulled
a leg muscle early in the fourth
quarter, replacement Dave Wyncoop
came on more than satisfactorily
by gaining some 26
yards which included a beautiful
17-yard slant off tackle for
the winning tally.

Arnette Shaky

Feeling the pressure of Wake's
tenacious defense, quarterback
Gene Arnette had difficulty in the
first half. Although unsuccessful
in six passing attempts in the first
half, Arnette bounced back to complete
five of five in the second
half. Once again, the Cavalier
quarterback maintained the necessary
composure by completing a
19-yard toss to Anderson in a
third-and-eleven situation to keep
the winning Wahoo touchdown
drive alive.

For the third week in a row,
tackle Greg Shelly graded highest
for the offensive linemen. Tom
Patton, the defensive end who
forced one Wake Forest fumble,
and intercepted a pass to halt
another Wake drive, was the
coaches' pick as the game's best
defensive lineman.

Duke Report

As for Duke..."A tough, strong
team, both on defense and offense,"
says Coach Dick Kupec
of the Duke Blue Devils, who
meet the Cavaliers here on Saturday.
Coach Kupec was on hand at
West Point as Duke upset Army
10-7 last Saturday.

Basically, Duke runs from an
I formation, but will shift to a set
backfield or a power backfield
when the occasion demands. In
Jay Calabrese and Pete Shafer,
the Blue Devils have two top
flight running backs.

Calabrese tips the scales at 215,
while Shafer weighs in at 200.
With 60 points to his credit last
season, and 25 career touchdowns,
Calabrese is very close to several
all-time rushing records at Duke.

Soaring QB

Tall (6′ 5″) Al Woodall quarterbacks
the Blue Devils. He has
shown that his height advantage
is a real plus in picking out receivers
with accuracy. Larry Davis,
a nifty runner who started several
games for the Devils last season,
ably backs Woodall.

On defense, Duke uses for the
most part a 5-4 Oklahoma, but
will change to an even defense
4-4, or a 6-2. Outstanding linemen
to watch are : Gene Debolt,
end, Bob Foyle, middle guard;
and Bob Lasky, tackle. Ed Newman
is a tiger at linebacker.

Duke has shown itself as a ball
control team. If the Cavaliers are
to stop them, they must contain
the Devil's hungry ground attack,
which rolled up 26 first downs
against Army.
