Balance key to Duke undefeated run says coach Murray
Duke, led by coach Bill Murray in his second year, uses a balanced approach with no single star. The defense tops the Southern Conference in rushing and passing defense while the offense has no standout leader, praised for all-around strength as Duke stays unbeaten. Next up is North Carolina State in Raleigh, with Wake Forest and others also practicing for upcoming games.

Mountaineers Show Promise With Freshman QB In Loss To Penn State
West Virginia after a 35-21 setback to Penn State in which freshman Fred Wyant led the attack. The Mountaineers boast strong offense, an aging defense, and a host of underclassmen, with Arnelle a standout on both football and basketball. If Rados had been WVU’s quarterback, the writer believes the Mountaineers could contend next year.

Carter Aims to Regain Lightweight Crown From Salas
Promising a sizzler from start to finish, Jimmy Carter seeks the 135 pound title in Chicago tonight. The bout pits the 24 year old champion against Lauro Salas, a Mexican slugger with 45 victories and 18 knockouts, in a nationally televised clash at the International Boxing Club. Each fighter nets about $10,000 from TV receipts as gate money is not expected to exceed $25,000. Carter looks to emulate Lou Ambers by reclaiming the title, the first bona fide Mexican champion seeking to hold and regain the crown in a single year.
