description

This is the official football program for the Wake Forest College Homecoming game played on October 30, 1948, at Groves Stadium, featuring the Wake Forest Demon Deacons against the North Carolina State Wolfpack. The program showcases detailed team rosters, positions, and player statistics, and includes extensive commentary by Tom Bost, Jr., outlining the long-running rivalry dating back to 1907. It contains team and individual stats for Wake Forest up to that point in the season, insights into key players such as John "Red" O'Quinn and Bill Gregus, and highlights on NC State's strong defensive reputation. The booklet is filled with advertisements from regional businesses, promotional features from sponsors like Philip Morris, Pine State Creamery, and the Capital Coca-Cola Bottling Company, and reflections on campus life, school spirit, and traditions. Notably, the program provides Wake Forest's fight songs, cheers, and yells, reinforcing the event's festive and collegiate atmosphere. Additionally, it includes summaries of head coaches Douglas "Peahead" Walker (Wake Forest) and Beattie Feathers (NC State), with full coaching records. The program also anticipates Wake Forest's future relocation to Winston-Salem, N.C..
