It’s the only clash between ma jor unbeaten teams and more than 50,000 fans are expected to jam Forbes field for .the festivities. Duquesne, 10th ranking team in the nation, carries a perfect rec ord in seven games, while the only blemish on 13th-ranked Mis sissippi State’s record is a tie with Louisiana State.

Over the past three seasons, Du quesne has won 22, lost one and tied one while State in 27 games since 1938 has won 23, lost two and tied two and now owns a 21 game streak in which they have been unbeaten but tied twice. It’s the last game of the season for the Dukes and Coach Sinko said: “We know we’ve got to win to maintain our national rating.” State has three games after the Duquesne encounter. Significantly, the only defeat in flicted on Duquesne in three years was accomplished by Mississippi State’s neighborhood rival, Mis sissippi U. That setback came last year and the Dukes have rolled to 12 straight victories since. Neither the Bulldogs nor the Dukes actually have received a bowl bid but they have rated in creasing mention as possibilities as the nation’s list of unbeaten dwindled. 1 Davey Spencer Pitches Strikes As Davidsons Take Light Drills DAVIDSON, Nov. 13—(TP)—Little Davey Spencer pitched strikes again and again today as Davidson ran through some light defensive and offensive drills in its last practice before the Washington and Lee game in Lexington Saturday. Spencer’s passes went over the heads of the reserves’ secondary time and again as the- regulars marched up and down the field in a light pass scrimmage. RACE HORSE DIES J^OS ANGELES, Nov.

Lazar’s Camp Davis Archies are all set to make it their third vic tory in a row against the Ft. Story, Va., team, which comes to Wilmington Saturday afternoon. No scrimmages were changed by Captain Lazar who thought that the Marine game was enough bodi ly contact to prepare for the in The Fort Story “Yellow Jackets,” with a squad of around 35 players, are expect ed to arrive at Camp Davis this afternoon about 4:30 o’clock. They are to interrupt the trip from Fort Story to Camp Davis at New Bern, N. C., where arrangements have been made with the principal of the High school for the team to use the New Bern Athletic Field for a loosening-up practice. The team and coaching staff will travel by bus and while at Camp Davis will be quartered in one of the barracks there. vaders from Virginia, and Thurs day afternoon the team called it a day after a session of signal drill and a chalk talk. Satisfied that he had found ade quate reserves to carry on when necessary to plug holes in the front line and backfield, Coach Lazar can now start either of two full backfields, and plug his line with substitutions without weakening his team. The game Wednesday proved a lot tq Captain Lazar, and despite a slow disheartening start against Wake Forest, the team refused to be downed, and has rounded into fine middle-sea son shape with a will to win and plenty of strength with which to do it. Ft. Story lays claim to the East ern Seaboard Service Champion ship, and has only been tied by Camp Croft, early season victors over the Archies. The game Sat urday should determine, at least in the minds of Wilmington fans and Ft. Story observers the right of the Virginia boys to the title. Lieut. H. E. Mecredy of Ft. Story made final arrangements for the game at Camp Davis, Thursday. Between the halves entertain ment will be furnished by the crack 54th Regiment band, and by a challenge Puch-ball game be tween 25-man teams from the 96th and the 301st B. B. Push-ball is a form of mass murder', in a mild er form, with the excuse that each team is presumed to win when a 6-foot inflated leather ball is pushed, kicked, or shoved over a goal line. Kind spectators say it is a game, but whatever it might be, it is scheduled to attract as much attention as the football game itself. Tickets for the game will be sold at a reduced rate. General admission will be 55c, and sold iers and students will be admitted for 20c. The kick-off is set for 2:30 p. m. at Legion Stadium. SANDIG PLAYS IN RECORD SCHEDULE SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Nov, IS.— (A*)—Curtis Sandig has played in 45 games — every game on the St. Mary’s university schedule in four years and that ought to be a re cord in college football. And unless illness or injury step in he will finish out his string Dec. 13 with a total of 49. How did he do it? Well, when the 175-pound Sandig came to St. Mary’s, the Alamo con ference had just voted to allow freshmen on the varsity. He got in the first game of the 1938 season against San Francisco university and averaged • 5.7 yards each time he carried the ball. Since then, no one has even thought of St. Mary’s playing a game without the brilliant Sandig. Another thing that contributed to his remarkable longevity as a col lege player was the Rattlers' ex tended schedules—15 games in 1938, 11 in 1939, 11 in 1940 and 12 this year. In his 46 games, Sandig has gain ed more than three miles by rush ing or pass-receiving. This season, termed Sandig’s greatest by Coach Lloyd Russell, the fleet young man has scored 83 points. Russell declares Sandig merits All-America mention.

Soldier Dillworth To Head Boxing Program In Lightweight Division —- . 1 The full card for the boxing show at Thalian hall Monday night at 8] o’clock was announced by the Camp Davis Athletic office today. The double wind-up will feature Charlie "Soldier" Dillworth. former Panama champ and challenger of Lew Jenkins, world’s lightweight titlist, against tough leather-slinging Joe Klimosky at 142 lbs. The second half of the wind-up bouts, both scheduled to go six rounds, will match "Speedy" Mc Clellan, colored Detroit Golden Glover, now a pro, who has a victory over “Young Kid" McCoy to his credit, against the equally able col ored Obie Wallace, pro champion of COACHING STAFF SAYS DUKE READY DURHAM, Nov. 13.—<3*)—Duke’s Blue Devils received a 50-minute in spection by the coaching staff here this afternoon and at the conclusion of the detailed drill were pronounced as ready as possible for Saturday’s clash with Carolina's Tar Heels in Duke stadium. Whether or not the Blue Devils will be at full strength by kick-off time at 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon was still problematical. Bob Gantt, the sophomore end, continued to work only lightly, bothered with a cold and a bruised leg. In a brief dummy scrimmage, fol lowing a period devoted to pass of fense, the Blue Devils first team ran with L. E. Dempsey and Jim Smith at the ends. Mike Karmazizn and Bob McDonough were the tackles; Tom Burns and Pete Goddard were at guards; and Captain Bob Barnett was the center. The backfield had Tom Prothro at quarter; Tom DaVia and Steve Lach at halfbacks; and Leo Long at full back- . , To wind things up, Coach Wallace Wade went into the finer points of defense against the expected Tar Heel attack. There was the usual Thursday attention to goal-line de fense and the weekly exercise In kicking off and receiving the kick off. Purple Hurricane Works Out After Dark Despite OPM Power Curtailment GREENVILLE, S. C., Nov. IS IS’)—The OPM’s power curtailment order may have stopped night foot ball in the southeast, but it didn’t stop Furman's Purple Hurricane from working out after dark. Coach Dizzy McLeod drove his new automobile upon the playing- field and furnished his proteges with light from the headlamps as the Pur ples wound up practice for the South Carolina game in Columbia. McLeod drilled the men on a de fensive set-up that is calculated by the Furman coaches to stop Caro lina's running and passing' attack modeled after the Notre Dame sys tme. the Dakotas and Minnesota in the middleweight division. Other bouts all of four rounds are equally well matched.. Opening the evening's entertainment will be Bull McCullough, 128 pounder of Camp Gibbins matched with Sgt. Martin Taber, a KO artist from Camp Davis' John Mickey, a classy welterweight, has lost poundage in workouts, and is now matched in the lightweight class against Dave Rotsky, who has won his two previous appearances on Camp Davis cards by KO before the end of the second round. Charles Napoleon, hard hitting middleweight is scheduled to meet Alfred Arback of the 96th in the third bout of the evening.

The heavyweight battle, immed iately preceding the wind-ups, pits Big Jim Turner, undefeated colored DUKE, CAROLINA FROSH ALSO PLAY CHAPEL HILL, Nov. 18.—Fresh man football teams representing Carolina and Duke appear to be about evenly matched for the final game for each eleven here Friday afternoon at 2:30 O’clock in Kenan stadium. The contest will be a prelude to the varsity game in Durham Satur day On the basis of comparative scores, Carolina made a better show ing aganist Wake Forest than Duke, but the Blue Imps played N. C. State a closer game than- the Tar Babies. Wake Forest beat Duke 14:0 but was held to 12-2 by. Caro lina. State's yearlings won a thrill ing 19-13 decision from the Tar Babies but had to be content with a 6-6 tie against Duke. Duke’s lone victory this season came at the hands of a strong Ten nessee eleven 12 to 7. Carolina has played four games and has broken even. After losing to Wake Forest and N- C. State, the Tar Babies routed Mars Hill 56-0. and beat Vir ginia at Charlottesville last week, 26-0. Governor Broughton Sees ‘Very Interesting* Game In Duke-Carolina Clash RALEIGH. Nov. 13.—Gover nor Broughton thinks Saturday’s Duke-North Carolina game will be “very interesting.” He wouldn’t flatly predict a win ner but did remark that the odds seem to be in favor of Duke. Former Governor and Mrs.. O. Max Gardner will arrive tomorrow and be the guests of Governor and Mrs. Broughton at the game. LESNEVICH MEETS TAM1 MAUR1ELL0 Both Fighters Expect To Quit Light-Heavy Class After* Fight Tonight NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—OB—'The appetites of fighters being what they are, Gus Lesnevich of Cliff side, N. J., and Tami Mauriello of the Bronx are due to fight 15 rounds at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night for a title that neither is likely to defend again. Gus and Tami are two impor tant members of a group of fight ers who are trying to eat their way up into the heavyweight di vision and big money. Tomor row they’ll fight for the light heavyweight crown which Lesne vich now. holds. Lesnevich just did manage to get down to the required 175-pound age last August when he won un disputed title recognition by beat ing the Fordham fist flinger in a scrap that left plenty of arguments as to who won. He was up around 185 pounds when he started train ing for this brawl and one reason why Mauriello has been made a 15-10 favorite is that a good many fight followers think Gus probably has left his fight in the gym along with those extra pounds. Tami, a middleweight contender last spring, had grown up to 180 pounds a few weeks ago. After tomorrow both of them likely will follow the example of Billy Conn, who gave up the 175 pound title and attempted by vigo rous use of a knife and fork to build himself up to the stature of a real heavyweight title contender. It isn’t exactly a fight to make the fans tear the doors down in their efforts to get in but promoter Mike Jacobs expects it to “do pretty good” at the gate. heavyweight at Camp Davis against Louis Moulton, 185 lb. Camp Gib bins star. One other bout completes the card. Pug Smith, former Alabama pro meets tough Bob Amunson in another four rounder i The show promises to top the for mer Camp Davis bouts in <;lass and punching ability of its performers. Tickets will not go on sale until the night of the fights when they will be purchased at the ticket win dow of Thalian hall, which opens at 6:15 o’clock. Reserved seats near the ring will sell for $1.00, general admission will be 65c and soldiers will be admitted to balcony seats for 40 cents.

Nov. 13.—UP)—The N. C. State Wolfpack went through a full-speed scrimmage today against the third team in the last hard work before the game with Georgetown in Washington Saturday. The subs used the Hoyas’ unor thodox spread formations. Further work was also devoted to the defense by putting the first and second teams thrbugh a dummy scrimmage, and some time was spent on polishing the State offense, which has shown improvement in the last three games. AAU CONVENTION IN PHILLY MAY CHANCE MEASURE Rule To Make Choice Of Meters Or Yards Legal Before National Group By WHITNEY MARTIN NEW YORK, Nov. 13.— Ml—(The; Special News Service)—One of the pet—er—stomach aches of Ameri can track and field fans may be cured at the national A. A. U. convention at Philadelphia over the weekend. There is more than an even chance that the rule requiring the national outdoor championships to be conducted under the metric sys tem will be revised to make the use of yards of meters optional, which would mean that, with the possible eception of Olympic years, the yard sxystem would pre vail. The average American never has been able to reconcile himself to the metric system, or to quite com prehend it. He has a vague re collection of learning in school that a meter is something like 39.37 inches, and he knows that’s about threa and one-half inches more than a yard, but when he gets to figuring beyond a yard he is lost. To him a meter is the bad news in a taxi, or something which if you don’t put a quarter in you don’t get any gas, and if used as a symbol of distance it is as con fusing to him as telling a city man that a horse stands so many hands high, or a ship is going at so many knots, or the water is so many fathoms deep. He wants to know whose hands, and whose knots, and what’s a fathom? At first glance it does seem silly to use a measuring stick which few can comprehend, and we can be thankful it hasn’t been used in other sports. It would be a little bewildering to a quarterback to to told it was second down, eight meters to go. There was a very stout argument in favor of the metric system for track and field, however. It is the official system of the Olympic games for the simple reason that the nations using it far outnumber those using feet and yards. Dan Ferris, A. A. U. secretary treasurer, said that a proposal to have the 1500-meter race lengthened to 1600 meters to more nearly correspond with our mile run was snubbed. The 1500-meter race, its proponents pointed out, meant just as much to them as the mile does to us. And a whole lot more than 1500 meters means to the average American. 3 ■ Many of China’s children are said to suffer from vitamin de ficiencies, causing such conditions as night-blindness, rickets and beri-beri.

Scheduled to mix with .Popeye the Sailor—Barto Hill—h# was unable to come here due to hia father being “on the point of death.” Pete Baltran, making his second appearance in Wilmington, pinch-hit very ably. Pete, from Boston, Mass., scaling 215 pounds, pinned the Sail or in 22 minutes of the first fait The Sailor retaliated in the second heat, however, using his dread Oc topus hold, laying Baltran in 8 min utes. The squat, chunky New England* er, after taking several body slams, seized Hill in an aeroplane spin and floored him in 30 seconds of the last fall. It was one of the cleanest fights staged here lately. In the prelims, Abe Yeurist and the sinister Red hadow brawled for 23 minutes in a rough and tumble affair that ended in Referee Rudy Martin’s disqualification of the Shadow. Tourist was far ahead on points at the time. Tourist favored the continuation of the fight, to show the crowd what he could do if given a chance to disembowel the unpopular Shadow but Martin was firm in his decision.
