Chesson’s Star Is Bright At Duke DURHAM—When the roll of “All-Time Most Versa tile Duke Athletes’’ is call ed sometime in the 21st century, Wes Chesson’s name is sure to be at or near the top of the list. As a freshman, ithe Eden ton junior played practical ly every position imagin able— except interior line man— and was second in scoring, second in passing, third in pass receiving, second in interceptions and tops in punt returns. Then last year he start ed at tailback before mov ing to flanker when Mar cel Courtillet was injured. At flanker he played so well that he broke the At lantic Coast Conference re ceiving record (11 catches for 176 yards) in his first game at the new position. Later that standard was broken by Henley Carter. Chesson is now slightly heavier this year without loss of speed and Blue Devil coaches have moved him to still another spot— wing end. He takes over the spot vacated by Carter, the graduate who set a Duke record for the most passes caught in a game (13) and most yards on re ceptions in a career (1,267).

TOWN OF EDENTON WILLIAM GARDNER, ADMINISTRATOR wing end even with Carter gone, however. Not with Chesson and a 5-8, 187- pound senior named Bob Hepler around. Hepler shined so well in spring practice that he’s expected to give Chesson fits for the starting job. However, it’s most like ly that they’ll alternate at the position with Hepler taking ovfer there if in juries require the versatile Chesson’s duties elsewhere. And he’s capable of go ing -back to either flanker, tailback or even quarter back if injuries should decimate the signal calling corps. With Chesson, Hepler, Courtillet, tailback John Cappellano and tight end Jim Dearth on the receiv ing end and quarterback Leo Hart (who last year became the first man in Atlantic Coast Conference history to gain over 2,000 yards in a single season) returning, Coach Tom Harp plans to stick with his basic pass offense. “We’ll continue to play the same brand of wide open football that we did a year ago because I think ■that’s what the fans like to see,” says Harp. “Hopefully, we will have straightened out our de fense which, if accomplish ed, would place us in a po sition to say something about the conference cham pionship. “A lot depends, though, on how fast our sopho mores especially on de fense—develop and wheth er we can stay healthy, particularly in our lines where we are thinnest and least experienced. “But some of the younger players we referred to last year as needing only ma turity have developed into fine players to form the nucleus that would appear to give us more strength than we had a year ago at this time.

This Is The Law By ROBERT E. LEE For the N. C. Bar Association WITNESSES TO WILLS How many witnesses are required to sign an attest ed written will in North Carolina? Two. Lawyers frequent ly insist upon three, be cause there are a number of states Which require this number of witnesses and the lawyers want their clients to leave wills that will be valid in all states. A will executed in North Carolina may need to meet the formal requirements of another state either be cause it affects real estate located there or because the testator changes his domicile after the will is drawn and dies in another state without having exe cuted a new will. Must the attesting wit nesses read the will or know its contents? No. Is a beneficiary under the terms of a will a com petent attesting witness? Yes. But competent law yers never allow a benefi ciary under a will to act as an attesting witness. There is a mighty good legal reason for this. If there are not at least two other witnesses to the will who are disinterested, the interested witness and his spouse and any one claiming under him takes nothing under the will, and so far only as their inter ests are concerned the will is void. The important thing to remember is that if either you or your spouse is giv- j en anything under a will, I don’t either of you become an attesting witness to the will. If either of you do,' neither will get anything under the terms of the I will. I Must the attesting wit- Conlinued on Pmg» 4 mb WES CHESGON \h\ in The r . - It pays to play “Great in American History.” ™ S | Collect T >>ese 4 Prize Stamps 1 Collect These 1 Pre .*. tanips ! . .i. cu Bum - u ■ .
