Duke Stifles Navy Rally

By BILL BERNO

Duke barely survived in its
battle against Navy, but both
Clemson and N.C. State cruised
to easy wins in ACC action this
week.

Navy blew two chances to
win against the Blue Devils,
who took a 17-10 lead into the
fourth quarter. First, the
Middies moved down to the
two-yard line on a 31-yard pass
play from Al Glenny to Al
Calland. But they fumbled on
the xt play and the Devils
recovered.

Late in the game, the sailors
scored on a five-yard toss from
Glenny to Jack Forde. With
the score 17-16, the
Midshipmen scorned the tie
and tried for a two-point
conversion pass. Duke's Melvin
Parker nailed Glenny before he
could unload the ball.

Clemson, fresh off a win over
the Wahoos, carried the
momentum over to the hapless
Deacons of Wake Forest, who
suffered their second
consecutive shutout.

The final score of 31-0 made
the game seem closer than it
really was. Fullbacks Wade
Hughes and Heide Davis
trampled the Deacon defense
for over 200 yards and each
scored twice. Hughes finished
with 151 yards on 22 carries.

Clemson dominated the
game entirely, controlling the
ball for all but eight minutes in
the first half. Wake did better
in the second half, moving
twice inside the ten-yard line,
but didn't score a point. The
Deacons have now scored only
55 points in seven games.

N.C. State proved once again
that it has the best offense in
the ACC by destroying
disappointing South Carolina,
42-24. Instead of doing it
through the air, as has been
their custom, the 'Pack ground
it out behind the powerful
blasts of Stan Fritts. Fritts, a
sophomore tailback, picked up
130 yards and scored twice.

Undoubtedly the most
important game played in the
East was the West
Virginia-Penn State contest.
The Nittany Lions prevailed
28-19, but had to hold off
many scoring threats
engineered by the
Mountaineers' Bernie Galiffa,
who had the best day of his
career. The senior quarterback
completed 21 of 35 tosses for
341 yards, including an
18-yard touchdown pass.
