K)dd Brewer, who participated
in five sports, if memory serves
correctly while he was at Duke
in the late 20's and early 30's,
still has the trim physique of a
half-back at Thanksgiving. He is
employing his personality and physical
endurance now at selling
surety, contract, and performance
bonds. Evidently through with
politics, he is doing well with
(he long green, is developing a
hillside, bottom land, and meadow
on Crabtree Creek just a few
miles out of Raleigh on the highway
to Durham.

Acres," but because of the shape
of the hill upon which he is working
and upon which is building
a $20,000 'home, he refers to the
place simply as "belly acres."
Native of Winston-Salem, Brewer
coached football at Appalachian
where his teams lost two games
in the four years he was there.
Then he sold books until the
war came along. He was a preflight

Kidd did public relations work in
Washington and still maintains
strong connections in the National
Oapital.

until darkness drives him home,
Brewer may be found out on Belle
Acres. This fall Duke-bound foot-1
ball fans will observe along Crabtree
Creek on the Ral&igh-Durham
highway the most beautiful
agricultural layout in this vicinity.
That's Belle Acres, offspring
of the captain of Duke's first
Wade team, and also the offspring
of the daughter of the late Frank
A. Linney, who was once Republican
candidate for Governor. Mrs.
Brewer's grandfather was the
famous Romulus Z. Linney of
Alexander County, about whom
many an interesting tale is told
and who at one time was in the
U. S. Congress. '
