McLen don put their charges through their paces in the attempt to h^e their squad ready for the competition that they axe to face comes September. With only 160 men on the school enrollment, tha coaches realize that the thirty men tlu^t they have to '"Work with in- football this spring and next fall will have to t>e twice as good as the men on ti~ese other CIAA te^tns that can •asily alternate three good teams in the same afternoon. Th^ is t}i5. situation that- was I»iq»d lafct year when the Ckgles consistent ly ^lurday after Saturday used an average of 13' men against an fuverage ^f 35 * for their oppon ents. But it’s not theirs to re^on why...“theirs hut to do or die” (and that’s life 1 guess)* These cuaches have proved that they are so'^wh^t ticin to the supex^ natural- through their ability to build up winning teams at the college without the most nece s- ary “element”—MEN. 'Lftet year they took a 28-man squad,and pu*. a team thM was- equal to I most of th« beat in the em£»r- viice, and there will be no stopp ing them next fall after they re> surt again to the supernatural und producy 90m* fullbacks to work with tbf most complete te^Jm of veterans that wrU return.

The sportsmen will agjEfin return to the: City of the Bull on Sunday fcr that thrilling and colorful en^ counter between the Toledo Crawfords and the , Ethiopian Clowns. F^af from being a minor attractiori on this same program will be Jesse Owens who will go to the limit in proving to the fana that he is still the world’s fastest hum^in. A day later May 13, all Durham will go out to Durham Athletic park again to do a bit of Hereworahiping. The occasion will be the ,a?)pearTMtee of Dur ham’s own Bud Barbee and Boy Debnam in the regular lineup of the New York Black Yankees. Bud h»s been limbering up out at Hot Springs and is counted on to do most of the Yanks’ hurl ing this season. Debnam is rely- inf on his unmatched ability ^ wielding the willow stick to see him through, and he’s good as the next one when it comes to good jClean hits. We’ll be there rooting for these former BlacE S02 players. ^| ,, ,, FOOTLieHTTLICKERS BY ALVIN MOSES BACKSTAGE CHATTER ^ AND THING Would it be in order to throw a swell shindig for Eddie (Roch ester) Anderson without inviting thiMt sevelte wife?..Vasked a stage struck lil chorine '%ho has in vaded the privacy of more happy married lives than Adolf Hitler has the bordeis of small neutral countries. ^' , •««*•••*»* I Her answering echo (in the per son of a chorus memiber) yelled back...“Now you knoyr Mr. Mar shall (Apollo Theatre) would hear ^Ijout it before the first drink was served and you be... right back out on Seventh Ave nue, standing in the relief line "wliere we snatched you from.” “Oh, what the heck just forget 1 ever mentioned the subject” said the. baby-voiced other individual “skip it sist«r, ihlp Itr Later, and we mean only a minute or two later the young lady ran smack into Mr. Anderson, on a leisurely walk from his qiiarters in Theresg Hotel, long cigajf ^nd all.
