Well over 25,000 fans shook their fists at gas rationing and thousands of "Old Grads" were awarded for their loyalty by seeing a gallant Carolina eleven threaten time and again to pierce the stone wall formed by the boys from the Methodist flats. Even the note of war was injected into the picture of colorful action by three army trainers flying a V for mation, over luxuriant Kenan stadium. The lowflying planes rocked a cheer f rom the assemblage one of the many cheers that rocked the very concrete heart of the old bowl and sent Caro lina's fighting team out to struggle with their hearts for the blue and white. Many in the stands realized that this might be the last Carolina-Duke epic that they would ever see and joined in the delicious harmony of cheering jand, voicing the collective opinions of members of the squad, it was the Ca rolina twelfth man, the Carolina spirit of triumph that helped guard the goal line in the moments of trial. During the halftime as all the spectators were suggesting to their neighbor that "maybe it will be a tie after all," the rocket-like formation of a crack drilling platoon from the Navy Pre-flight school marched about with precision and accuracy the same pre cision that marked the passing of Ca rolina and brought the pigskin over the white line to six more wonderful points. You will excuse the enthusiam of your reporter, but never in the four great years at Carolina,, have we seen such a spirit evinced by the supporters of the Tar Heels than at yesterday's meeting. Usually stoic and placid, even the nf the Carolina team re maining on the bench added to the din of the battle with spontaneous yells produced by the thrilling chill of close misses and close hits on the part of the Tar Heels. Three times was, Duke halted when their threat was biggest and but for a fluke blocked kick in the first quarter, say the Carolina sup porters, the Tar Heels would have walked from the field bearing the laurels of victory. It was a great game. The action, the welter of humanity that rose as one to herald each, gallant play, was fitting to the spirit of the occassion. The spirit was both ethereal and liquid and the afternoon was Allies Knit Positions In North Africa Fight success. ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, Nov. 14. (UP) Allied troops moving across the des ert towards Tunisia are still furiously fighting on both sides of the frontier, consolidating the landings of new troops and equipment, reports indi cated tonight. Lt.-General Dwight Eisenhower, commander of the Allied forces in North Africa, went to Algiers and then returned to direct personally this new phase of operations, which, ac cording to unofficial estimates, is going to be one of the biggest phases of the Anglo-American effort to occupy the entire Mediterranean coast. Additional landings of Axis forces in Tunisia mostly Italians believed there to destroy fortifications and sup plies are reported to be continuing, but the Royal Navy is expected to cope with the landings. MOSCOW, Nov. 15 (UP) Fierce battles are raging again in Stalingrad where the Germans, at a cost of sev eral thousand men killed in three days, have pressed back the Soviet defend ers "somewhat" in one place but else where the Red Army is hurling back all assaults, the Soviet High Command announced today. WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 (UP) The Senate, for the first time since 1928, today resorted to issuance of warrants for the arrest of absent mem bers so that it could continue the con sideration of the controversial provok ing anti-poll tax bill. Warrants were issued for the ar rest of eight Senators who were known to be in Washington but were not in the chamber. They were served on three of the absentees but the other five could not be found. Most of the Representatives for whom the war rants were issued are Southern Demo crats. WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 (UP President Roosevelt's National Plan ning Board tonight urged establish ment after the war of "a new bill of rights" to cure social ills "which our forefathers did not face." The pro posed amendments would include pro visions for items such as the right to campaign, the right to security with freedom from fear, of old age, of un employment and accident and the See NEWS BRIEFS, page A Devil 11-yard stripe before a pass in terception spoiled the threat. Few among the colorful crowd fore saw such terrific comeback power as the Tar Heels displayed after the Devils' had taken the initiative in scoring. Set up by two quick long aerials that were completed deep in opposition territory, both Carolina scores came quite suddenly and threw the crowd into an uproar. After the second Carolina touchdown had left the Tar Heels tied, the crowd became completely hushed as Billy Myers got set to try the conversion, but the boot went wide of the uprights and the teams battled furiously right down to the final gun in an effort to drive over the winning score. The game upheld every tradition so familiar to Duke-Carolina contests. The Tar Heels played some of the finest football of their careers in hold ing the Dukes even. With luck on their side the Tar Heels would have walked off the field with a victory, but fate in the form of a blocked punt and a missed extra point held back the gal lant Carolina eleven. First Score The first period was half over when the fate struck with sudden swiftness and sent the Devils out in a seven point lead. After stout defense had stopped the first major threat of the Devils, the Tar Heels took over on their own 25 and Mike Cooke dropped back on the 18 to punt. Nanni who played a big part in the Devil forward wall all afternoon knifed through the Tar Heel defenses and blocked the kick. The ball bounced crazily back to the eight-yard line where Tom Burns scooped up the loose oval arid raced untouched into the end zone for the score. It was as sudden as that. Automatic Bob Gantt coolly placekicked the extra point and the Devils were out in front, 7-0. The Devils behind nice blocking and hard running penetrated several times deep into Tar Heel territory during the first half, but upon each occasion the Caro lina forward wall braced and shoved the visitors back. Bobby Rute, Buddy Luper, and Tom Davis showed some of the finest running skill seen in a kept them from getting away several long time and only inspired defenses times. After struggling ineffectively to get back into the ball game for the better part of the two quarters, the Tar Heels were finally rewarded for their ef forts a few minutes before the half. A short kick by sophomore Gordon Carver which went out of bounds on the Duke 43 set up the opportunity. Johnny Pecora, who after a poor sea son so far really got back into the groove yesterday, electrified roaring spectators by tossing an aerial to co- captain Joe Austin who raced all the way to the Devil 10 before being shoved out of bounds. On the very next play with the crowd in a wild uproar John Tandy on a double reverse went 10 yards on an end-around to score stand ing up on a play that completely mysti fied the Duke defenses.
