Devils All Out For Justice. . .
Duke Cheerleaders, Rooters Smother Campus
With ' We'll Beat Ole Carolina' Atmosphere
By Barron Mills
(Woman's Auditorium, Duke University, Nov. 21)
"We'll get Choo-Choo. . . . . We'll get Choo-Choo," The slow, long-drawn-out war chant thick
ened the atmosphere as the Duke Pep Rally began Thursday night. They began patting xneir soies
on the stage and the band maestro's horn-rims slipped down his nose adjusting his eyes from the
music to the members, and raised his fz f 7
baton finger. Since we were just two flf Heel LO'LaptaiUS
refugees from a nearoy university we i
just sat back to watch the clowning. !
A coed beside us gave me the once
over. I adjusted my tie, pretending
not to notice, and crossed my legs.
Our eyes met reading the large "W.G."
letters on my athletic socks. I cleared
my throat and explained, "Madam, you
are not looking at the President-elect
of the "Wooden Gobblins."
Chesterfield Salute
The band hit a few notes and the
cheerleaders bombarded the stage. The
head leader did a "Frankie" with the
mike and began. "I know that all of
you heard the Chesterfield program
the other ; night when they saluted
Georgia and ... (at this point he
grabbed -his nose and repeated the
word that sent undergraduates scam
pering) . . . Carolina."
The cheerleaders decided that be
fore making the transcription of the
rally for the broadcast it would help
the rooters yell more if they saw the
film of the Duke-Tennessee game. The
score flashed on the screen, reading
12-7 in the Vol's favor. A voice from
the projector room could be heard,
"Hell, we forgot to censor it," and an
other "we wuz robbed" rang out from
a corner of the auditorium.
- The first quarter began and Duke
rallied, scored a touchdown, extra point
and someone signaled for the operator
to cut off the projector. The game
was over Duke 7 and Tennessee 0.
The rooters went wild. The Devils
had won a game. r
Devils Win Game
It was suggested that they all give
Mr. Wade a little yell. - The crowd
spelled out his name several times,
pausing a few seconds between each
letter and Mr. Wade had been yelled.
Kenan Stadium Till Rated
Toss-up; Kickoff 2 o 'Clock
Charlie Justice, Walt Pupa Expected
To Lead Tar Heels; SC Crown at Stake
t By Bob Goldwater
In one of the nation's, most important football classics, two evenly-matched
titans of the gridiron clash in Kenan stadium this aft
ernoon when the strong elevens of North Carolina and Duke meet
in the 33rd renewal of their rivalry. Kickoff time will be at 2
o'clock.
A record crowd of close to 44,000 is I
expected to be on hand to view the
struggle, which has been rated as a
tossup between Carolina's highly-geared
offense and Duke's stubborn de
fense. Leading the list of state nota

Ralph Strayhorn, above left, and Chan Highsmith are the co-captains
of the Tar Heel football team this season. Strayhorn is a native Tar
Heel from Durham and starts at guard, while Highsmith is the Caro
lina starting center and hails from Brunswick, Ga.
A freshman directly behind me, trying
to impress the sweet little sophomore
he was escorting, remarked. "Gad,
just watch us WADE right through
them Saturday." The littlte sopho
more was impressed and I polished up
my best Harvard laugh in order to be
one of the boys.
Who Is Carolina?
It was time for the blue wave. Ev
eryone threw up their arms over their
heads and waved them back and forth,
chanting something about Blue Devils.
We stood up to sing the Duke Alma
Mater. An over enthusiastic frosh
near me gave me a nudge with his el
bow to prompt me that I should stand
at attention and "give out."
In a moment of peak enthusiasm
everyone burst forth with "Hubba,
Hubba,, we will beat ole Caroline." I
forgot myself and asked someone who
was Caroline. I received a dirty look.
Someone on the front row yelled out
"Get Justice," and since everyone
agreed that it was as appropriate clos
ing they began filing out of the build
ing. Grabbing the arms of two coeds,
I scurried out of the auditorium listen
ing to the rabbling of "Poor Tar Heels,
Poor Tar ' Heels," and chuckling to
myself I thought that only time will
tell.

Victory Incentives
. Both teams have special reasons for
wanting a victory today, other than the
usual desire for each eleven to seek
a triumph over its greatest rival. For
the Tar Heels, victory means the re
turn of the Southern conference cham
pionship to Chapel Hill for the first
time since 1937. It gives Carolina its
first win over a Duke grid outfit since
1940. Finally, it assures the Tar Heels
of a successful 1946 campaign, which
already sports six triumphs and one
tie in eight contests.
The Blue Devils need a victory in
order to maintain two records that
of never losing more games than were
won in a season and that of never
dropping more than four games in one
year. For Duke, a triumph would
close successfully an otherwise dismal
year in which the Blue Devils broke
even in eight encounters.
Both teams would also enjoy the
taste of victory in order to break the
one-all deadlock that exists between
the two rival coaches, Carl Snavely
and Wallace Wade. The Blue Devil
mentor was victor in the last meeting
in 1935.
Powerful Backfields
Both teams have an abundance of
power in their backfields, with that of
the Blue Devils having remained dor
mant most of the campaign, finally
breaking loose last week against South
Carolina. Carolina's deceptive attack j
is headed by Charlie Justice, who made !
a strong bid for Ail-American honors
against Wake Forest last Saturday
by compiling a total of 139 yards along
the ground. Duke is reported to have
set up a special defense designed to

Power Plant Men
Resign Positions
Protesting that their wages were in
sufficient, some employees of the Uni
versity power plant resigned their po
sitions yesterday afternoon at four o'
clock. Plant operations continued with
workers procured by the utilities di
vision on the job.
Employees who resigned stressed
their position was not that of strikers.
They said that compensation paid them
for their services was too little, so
they were leaving the power plant to
seek more profitable work elsewhere.
Wage scales are determined by the
state, so the University is not empow
ered to consider salary increases.
Mystery Searchlight
'Just Publicity,9 Says
Famed Band Director
Chapel Hill as if it didn't happen
have enough traffic troubles with to
day's game suffered a minor flood
of motorists last night who were seek
ing the source of a mysterious beam of
light that had been sweeping the
Orange county skies since nightfall.
They found the answer parked in front
of Woollen gym, where Tommy Dor
sey was opening his weekend dance
series. The huge searchlight, a truck--mounted
surplus anti-aircraft wea
pon, was part of the famous band
leader's retinue.
Some spectators thought the great
light had been put there by Dorsey to
guide his twenty musicians to the
scene of the dance, for nobody in
cluding high University officials and
the entire Order of the Grail had
been able to find the oreVctra a place
to stay nearer than Burlington, thirty
miles away. There a new hotel was
finished just in time to accommodate
Dorsey and company.
But, said Dorsey, that wasn't the
searchlight's purpose at all. The my
sterious light, he declared, was "just
for publicity!"
