Nov. l R).-The Marshall laundering Herd, corralled by favored Wake Forest through two quarters of their joust before crowd of 10000 today. stainpeded in the final half and trampled the Deacons, 16 to 6. After 80 minutes of “stand-themup-and-knock- -them-down” football, the Deacons appeared to have the situation in hand. They had blanketed one Marshall scoring threat which carried to the 5-yard line and put on a touchdown drive which carried 80 yards. But after scoring early in the final half and adding the extra point, Marshall continued on a ram page and added unneeded points in the last quarter.
