Duke-N. C. Game
Nearly A Sell-Outj
Chapel Hill — Indications point j
to a near-capacity crowd here J
Saturday afternoon when the
Duke Blue Devils and Carolina '
Tar Heels renew a gridiron rival- -
ry which dates back to 1888.
Tickets in the concrete stands
are now being sold around the
10-yard line, and temporary seats,
which will hold an additional ■
6,000 have been put on either end '
of the field.
Carolina played undefeated Yale .
a much better game than had been
expected, and the Tar Heels show
ing at New Haven has boosted
their stock for the Duke game.
On the basis of season records,
Duke will be favorite, but the Tar
Heels are banking heavily on their
fine defensive play, along with
the traditional aspects of any
Carolina-Duke contest.
Only Army and Georgia Tech,
two of the top teams in the na
tion, were able to defeate the Tar
Heels by more than one-touch
down margins. Duke lost to Army
27—7, the Tar Heels were de
feated by the same club, 46 to 0.
And it is well to note in passing
that these two scores are the low
est the great Army eleven has
registered this year.
Coach Gene McEver is expected
to use Bob Warren, Bill Voris,
Jim Camp and Bobby Weant in
his starting backfield. This com
bination, besides playing fine de
fensive ball, has, on occasions,
indicated ability to move on of
fensive.
Bob Warren, who scored the
winning touchdown against the
Cherry Point Marines and who
intercepted a pass and ran 36
yards for a score last Saturday
at Yale, leads the quartet.

Our First
Thanksgiving
TODAY, Thanksgiving,
1944, we see oar county
engaged in a tremendous
effort that is testing all
of our capacities for in
genuity, for sldll, for
courage and patience. We
can be Thankful — and
with confidence in the
future — that the past
has proven our ability to
meet problems and to
solve them, and that
while our present posi
tion is a new one in his
tory, it is not without
precedent in kind and
most certainly will yield j
to solution by the com
bined efforts of a people
made incredibly strong
by the blessings of na
ture and three centuries
of freedom.
