Mac Does the spoils sometimes go to the defeated? T . This is the question that has been circulating around the Duke campus ever since the Victory Bell disappeared last Saturday night after the Duke-Carolina game. The bell melted into thin air during a "spontaneous" victory calvacade staged by "Duke stu dents" through Chapel Hill, ac cording to unofficial reports. When the horn honking, cheer ing, song singing line of autos tied up the Chapel Hill traffic Saturday night, most true blue Tar Heels put plugs in their ears and groaned. But. the outward appearances did not fully reveal what was going on, or so says a Duke freshman in whose pro tection the bell was placed following a post-game pep rally near the Duke clock tower. . That freshman was an aspirant for next year's Duke head cheer leader and will hereinafter, be referred to as "Sleepy:" This is Sleepy's embittered and embar rassed tale. .' After the pep rally the Duke cheering squad- posted him as guard over the bell until such time as the bell's custodian a m - ' . . - snouia come by to place it in cold storage for the next grid iron season. When the crowd had cleared away, Sleepy said, two boys suffering from over-emersion in giggle water approached "and commenced to pull him around on the mobilized bell. He was very pleased, he said, to see so much Duke spirit flowing. ; They were joined by two more students and their dates. The newcomers wanted to tie it to their car and carry it to the East Campus of Duke for another pep rally. Sleepy was overjoyed to see so much spirit.

Between mouthfuls of cake a the party Sleepy vigilantly went outside every few minutes ,to make sure no Carolina students has made off with his charge. Someone produced a rope and suggested that Sleepy tie the bell onto the car more securely. This he did. ; With the satisfaction of a job well done he rejoined the party, replenished his dwindled supply of cake, and joined in a game of 20 questions. It was then that his new-found friends started running errands.
