REQUIEM
The whistle sounds the knell of faded hopes,
The crippled Dukes limp sadly from the scene;
The score, contrary to the smartest dopes.
Is 'Devils, six; the proud Tarheels, fourteen.
Full many a time when Duke was scarce awake,
Burnette devised some heinous villainy;
Pull seven points were scored upon that fake,
When Duke’s dumb line expected only three.
Now fall the shades of blackest stygian night,
And all the field a solemn stillness holds.
Save where the Tarheel hosts, without a fight,
Have taken charge of Duke’s “inviolate” goals.
Hark! How in yonder ivy-mantled tower.
The gloomy Wade doth to the moon complain
Of Carolina’s unexpected power,
Of Bershak, Little, Watson, Ditt — and rain!
For him no more the undefeated team,
No more the sacrcd turf, the uncrossed goal.
No more the fancies of a tinted dream . . .
Now faded are the roses in the Bowl.
Oft did newshawks attempt with flattering praise
For Pasadena Duke’s outfit to groom,
Spend many sleepless nights and weary days
To bring the little rose-bud into bloom.
But since the best-laid schemes of mice and men,
(And football coaches, too), gang aft agley,
Those who would frolic in the rosy glenn
Must fear the Wolf, must shun the deadly Ray.

Strew on the faded rose-buds.
But never full-blown roses:
Hie jacet Dux (ah, those duds!)
Here all her hope reposes.
ATH-A-LETIC SAL
Did everybody look “perty” In
the sports pictures for the annual?
I do hope you did, because even
if you don’t participate in the sport
you represented, (which, sadly, is
often the case), we like to make a
good showing. Do you realize, can
you believe, that in a little over two
weeks hockey season will be overt
So far only two games have been
played in the tournament — the
Freshman-Sophomore, with a score
of 1-1; and the Junior-Senior, 2-1.
Don’t you just love the idea of
having an exhibition hockey game
played by the 22 best players of
Salem? This, of course, will be aft
er the tuornament ends — about De
cember 4th. The whole student
body is expected to support this af
fair and we ’re sure it will be a huge
success. There are to be invited
guests from neighboring high schools
and we ’re sure that those who will
be able to come will be interested
in Salem more than ever after the
game, and accessories — for there
won’t be the game only, but also a
rou.sing cheering section, a tea per
haps afterwards and just loads of
wonderful things. Won’t it bo fun?
I guess you went, too! Where?
Why to the Duke-Carolina game, of
course! Wasn’t it magnificent and
a lot of otlier adjectives! There
were so many Salem girls there that
I wouldn’t attempt to name them all
— heavens — and even the faculty.
I may as well say everybody was for
everybody wanted to be there.
Please, for all of our sakes, if you
go home Thanksgiving, don’t eat so
much turkey that you won’t be able
to finish up the hockey season with
a bang (that is of course, if you
play). If you don’t play though,
please don’t eat so much that you
can’t yell because. I’m positive that
every Salem girl can do that as a
usual thing.
Touchdown Technique
The Tar Heels knocked Duke from
the national football picture with a
14 to 6 victory. The gamest gang
of Tar Heels ever to wear the blue
and white of the University of North
Carolina outfought, outcharged and
outplayed the Blue Devils of Duke
University to win one of the most
amazing victories in the 49-year-old
gridiron series between the “giants
of the Carolinas. ” The Tar Heels
rose to glorious heights to blast the
mighty men of Wallace Wade out of
the unbeaten ranks of the nation and
to strip the Southern Conference and
state titles from the shoulders of
the Blue Devils.
Duke driving over a first-period
touchdown, found themselves com
pletely bottled the final three per
iods and outplayed by the “iron
men” from Chapel Hifl. The crush
ing power plays of the Dukes batter
ed with no avail against the blue
and silver forwards and finally crum
bled completely as Eay Wolf’s
charges smashed through to a well-
earned triumph that proved one of
the major gridiron upsets of the
1937. season.
Trailing six to nothing, Carolina’s
shifty fighting machine rolled down
the field for 63 yards and a second-
period touchdown to take a 7-6 lead
at half time and had the Blue Devils
backed deep in their own territory
the entire 30 minutes of the final
half. The final score came in the
closing minutes of the game.
Rumors of Bose Bowl for the
Dukes had been drifting from the
West for several weeks. The Blue
Devils had been tied only by Ten
nessee in seven starts. It was far
from a Rose Bowl team at the end
of this game — they had been de
feated ,by a better dub, one that
reached the heights in Southern foot
ball on the day of days for the Caro-
SALEM’S
ANNETTE McNEELY
Annette McJseely is a girl you
can’t hold down, whether it be in
sports or anything.
To show you just how important
she is on the Salem Campus, let us
look into her public life. She is the
Junior Class president, the secretary
of the “Y.” cabinet, and a member
of the I. R. S. and the Student Coun
cil. She is also a member of the
Scorpions and of the Trench and
Math Clubs.
Last week was American Educa
tion Week, Annette spoke in chapel
and over the radio, certainly you
heard her.
Now to look into the more private
side of her life, we find she loves
sports. She made hockey varsity
last year, so you soe she doesn’t al
ways carry her stick “like a chif
fon streamer.” She has played bas
ketball since her high school days
and really enjoys the game. Tennis
is another sport she likes. In fact
she enters tournaments not for the
sake of winning but for the fun of
the competition. Too bad she didn’t
like the Duke-Carolina football
game, but someone has to be the loser
even if it’s your pot.
There seems to be something about
a D which gets her, if it is not cor-
nected with a school grade, of
course. Her leaning are decidedly
towards Davidson and Duke though
she’s partial to blond men, if they
are tall. She must have someone in
mind when she mentions preachers
in particular.
Her ambition is to be a business
woman, although she hopes to get
her teaclier’s certificate in French
here. Every summer she works in
her father’s office and just loves it.
Her choice in clothes is the tailored
things, showing the business woman
is still with her even in matters of
dress. She admires an independent
woman above all. She likes colored
writing paper.
She will have to pay more at
tention to our hero, Popeye the Sail
or, and learn to eat spinnach. Im
agine anyone saying they can’t even
stand the tliought of spinach! She’s
crazy about candy though.
Ijike most of the young people of
today, she likes Benny Goodman’s
orchestra; although Kay Kayser^ is
fast rising in her estimation. Her
favorite song is “Delighted to Meet
You,” a song which she heard while
dating the one. If anyone else has
heard the song we’d like to hear
about it because we’re beginning to
doubt its existence.
Sleep means more to Annette than
gold. Her room mate has a hard
time waking her but once she is up,
she’s really awake.
Promptness has become one of An
nette’s chief problems. When she
is on or before time to meetings,
there is much applause and many
comments.
She loves New York City and
Would love to stay there long enough
to do all the exciting things the town
has to offer. The next time she
goes will have to be in winter when
the social life is in full swing.
We can’t all be a class presi
dent and a good hockey player but
we can try to be as good a sport as
Annette McNeely is.
lina supporters.
V. P. I. came from behind to de
feat the University of Virginia 14
to 7. Virginia outclassed the visi
tors throughout the first period and
finally scored on the last play of
the period. Tech came back after
the next kick-off, marching from its
own 22 to the Virginia goal line in
11 plays. V. P. I pushed over the
winning touchdown in the final per
iod with an air attack.
