Wyncoop Scores

It finally came in the fourth
quarter. With 7:13 left in the game
Dave Wyncoop skirted off left
tackle to blast 17 yards into the
end zone for the go-ahead touchdown.

Hill's extra point, though perhaps
unnecessary, was good. The
score stood 14-12.

Then it was the defense's job
to hold the Deacs just a little
bit longer. Almost immediately
after Virginia's TD, Tom Patton
hauled in a pass on Wake's 22
to stop another possible Summers
march.

The Cavaliers went on to miss
a try for a field goal and gave
the ball back to the Deacons on
the twenty for their last attempt
to score. Despite all that Summers
tried-he had an instrumental part
in every Wake play after Virginia
took the lead-the Deacs failed to
put together a threatening march,
and the Cavaliers took a hard-fought
victory by two points.
